65 years old. 5' 8". Started back in March 2023 at 85.5 kg, down from my all time highest of 100 kg (220 lb) Since participating in the last two 100 Day Challenges I'm down to 70 kg (154 lb). My aim this time is to drop another 5 kg and reach my ultimate goal weight of 65 kg (143 lb) - and keep it off for the next two years at least - hopefully forever!

Day 01-01/01-- 70 kg. Waist 30.5 ". Hips 40 "

Day 02-01/02-- 70.2 kg. This is like investing for retirement in the stock market. The advisor told me 30 years ago "Think long term. Don't chase high returns for quick gains - aim for slow and steady returns. Don't worry about daily fluctuations - as long as you stick with it the overall trend will be upward." Happy now I took his advice.
Found a jar of Kalamata olives in the pantry. Delicious! but I'm trying to limit myself to 4 daily. And yes! - I already got rid of the cheese and crackers I'd normally have with them.

Day 03-01/03-- 69.9 kg.

Day 04-01/04-- 69.6 kg. who would've thunk there could be marshmallows in the pantry and I am only eating two per day?! Sloooowly breaking the impulse to Eat All The Goodies Quick while they're around because Lord knows when there'll be any more - food insecurity issues from childhood.

Day 05-01/05-- 69.5 kg. Yay! Hit my 1st week goal already - just have to maintain for another two days rather than going off the rails and over celebrating with treats to reward myself for losing the weight.....

Day 06-01/06-- 69.8 kg. I started knitting a lace scarf last month. It is very fine yarn on tiny needles, and I can only work on it in daylight. For the last 4 weeks I have been knitting 8 rows a day, and now my scarf is 22 inches long! I was feeling very proud of my progress and thinking it was a good lesson in perseverance with the weight loss plan as well. Well! so today I went to pick it up and somehow - pulled out the needle! Oh, ye knitters of the world, weep with me.....

Day 07-01/07-- 69 kg!!! Ummm.... this maybe TMI, but has anyone ever weighed themselves, then needed to go, then felt a strong desire to weigh themselves again - to see how much they dumped? ....not to boast - but, 0.5 kg? like, over a pound? Wow.

Week 1 Goal: 69.5 kg.
Week 1 actual weight: 69 kg.

Day 08-01/08--69.8 kg.... ???

Day 09-01/09-- 69.2 kg. Grandma used to say "What you gain on the swings you lose on the roundabouts." I'm guessing this was originally an allusion to the old style carnival where you paid to go on the rides, but maybe the barker was also running some kind of "chance to get your money back" gambling dodge as well? Anyway, it seems appropiate to eating for weight loss - cut out a slice of bread here and lose some, drink a can of soft drink "just this once" and gain it back.

Day 10-01/10-- DNW

Day 11-01/11-- 68.9 kg. I'm always hearing "eat protein for breakfast" and "breakfast like a king", but I just can't do that. A big plate of bacon and eggs always leaves me feeling uncomfortably full, weighed down and heavy. I just don't want to go for my usual morning walk, whereas a bowl of oatmeal, or a couple slices of wholewheat toast, with a piece of fruit, fills me until lunchtime, while still feeling light and active. I'm thinking there are many cultures where no, or just a light breakfast is the norm - it's really only the last 200 years in the Western world that 3 meals a day has become the norm. Even in the 60s, when I was a kid, snacking was not the usual thing - there weren't all the granola bars and cheesy chippy things we have today. I'm wondering how much of being told what we "should" eat, is actually real science based, and how much is funded by food manufacturers who want us to buy their products - how many orders for pizza delivery have been placed after seeing an ad? and deciding then "I'm too tired to cook".

Day 12-01/12-- 68.8 kg.

Day 13-01/13-- 69.2 kg. We are having a heat wave and it's exhausting to walk outside. Also I'm on medication which makes my skin more photo sensitive, so no to being lots in the sun. Fortunately, my appetite has decreased with the heat and I don't feel like cooking, so lots of raw fruit and veggies are on the menu.

Day 14-01/14-- 69 kg. Some cookies and chips came ..... into my possession. "Them that asks no question, isn't told a lie. Watch the wall, my darling, while the chocolate cake goes by." So I just ate the treats (about 800 calories) and nothing else.

Week 2 Goal: 69 kg.
Week 2 actual weight: 69 kg. So no net loss or gain this week, but still on target.

Day 15-01/15-- 68.8 kg. I want to knit a sweater for myself and I'm in a dither over what size to make. I know I'm 2 dress sizes smaller than I was, but I need my actual measurements. And then I need to work out how big the completed sweater will be and how much ease I want - I don't want "sweater girl" negative ease, but I don't want baggy oversize either, since I still have a little more weight to lose.

Day 16-01/16 69.8 kg. I found a big jar of mayo at the back of the fridge......I would have taken it to the food pantry, but it was already open....spent the evening gorging on mayo and cucumber sandwiches. No, I regret nothing.--

Day 17-01/17-- 70 kg .....Well, the rest of the mayo is gone - I hate to waste food, but, yes, it went down the sink - and the fiber in all the wholewheat bread has worked, so here's to a drop on the scale tomorrow.

Day 18-01/18-- 69 kg. Hopefully back on track.

Day 19-01/19-- 70 kg. Is it the scale or is it me not being super careful over tracking? I am perflummoxedcombobulated! Maybe my body is telling me it's happy at current weight and doesn't want to go lower?

Day 20-01/20-- 70 kg.

Day 21-01/21-- 69 kg. Weather has been super hot and I think I may have eaten something that's gone a bit off - been feeling unwell for the last 24 hours.

Week 3 Goal: 68.5 kg.
Week 3 actual weight: 69 kg. As Scarlett O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day."

Day 22-01/22-- 68.5 kg.

Day 23-01/23-- 68.7 kg.

Day 24-01/24-- 68.4 kg. I was given a fruit cake today - a whole 500 grams (over a pound). I try very hard not to buy sweets and baked goods or keep them in the house, but free food is fair game..... I ate it all in 2 hours ..... I'm thinking with Lent approaching I need to give it up completely - at least for long enough for my taste to change.

Day 25-01/25-- 68 kg.

Day 26-01/26-- 67.9 kg.

Day 27-01/27-- DNW

Day 28-01/28-- 68 kg. Made it!

Week 4 Goal: 68.5 kg.
Week 4 actual weight: 68 kg. 4 weeks, 2 kg down.

Day 29-01/29-- 69 kg. Note to self - do not celebrate weight loss with toasted cheese.

Day 30-01/30-- 70 kg. Another note to self - just because fruit mince tarts are reduced price after Christmas, doesn't mean there are less calories. You're not "saving" money, either - you're spending it!

Day 31-01/31-- 69.8 kg.

Day 32-02/01-- 69 kg. Easy come, easy go.

Day 33-02/02-- 68.8 kg.

Day 34-02/03-- 69.8 kg. What witchcraft hath possessed my scale? Oh right - I'm the one polishing off the goodies before Lent.

Day 35-02/04-- 69 kg.

Week 5 Goal: 68 kg.
Week 5 actual weight: 69 kg. Only 1 kg lost in 5 weeks? Need to keep my eye on the ball.

Day 36-02/05-- 68.8 kg. 64 days to lose 3.8 kg - around 60 grams per day.

Day 37-02/06-- 68.5 kg. I am the only person who controls what goes into my mouth.

Day 38-02/07-- 68.1 kg. Stay focused. Stay strong.

Day 39-02/08-- 68.7 kg. I luuurve avocadoes and they are said to be very good for you, but oh my Lord, the calories!

Day 40-02/09-- 70 kg. Yikes!

Day 41-02/10-- 69 kg.

Day 42-02/11-- 70 kg. Even footling around with cheat meals. Lent starts on Wed, and I am absolutely resolute on giving up sugar. (Yes, I know the primary aim is not to lose weight, but the self discipline will hopefully have a positive side effect.)

Week 6 Goal: 68 kg.
Week 6 actual weight: 70 kg. Epic fail. 6 weeks gone - and I'm back to starting weight.

Lilylady3k · February 11

Lily, Age 63, 5’3”
Challenge Starting Weight: 230.3 (2/1/2024)
Challenge Goal: <220

Tracking: PT knee exercises, W=walk miles, SF=strong & fit strength class 1 hr, B=bike minutes, S=swim laps, A=water/agua ounces, J=tracked/journaled all my food cal/net carbs, V=vitamin, AF=alcohol Free

Totally skipped the first 31 days!!
Day 32: 02/01 - 230.3 - First things first. Need to get back under 230! J, A 80, V, B 15. Under 200 carbs but definitely not meeting my goal of under 100! Took my measurements!!!
Day 33: 02/02 - 230.0 - J, A 32, V, B 20, PT. Decided to gradually up my time on the bike. When starting PT in Nov they only let me do 10 min for the 6 weeks. I started 15 min in Jan. Today 20. Hoping to get back up to 45 before the trip if my knee continues to improve. Though it was really swollen after today’s PT at home. I need to pick up my anti inflammatory pills at the pharmacy which I’ve not taken this past week.
Day 34: 02/03 - DNW - Bike 20 that is about it!
Day 35: 02/04 - 231.5 - Lots of King cake this weekend.

Week 5 Goal: < 230
Week 5 actual weight: 231.5

Day 36: 02/05 - 230.7 - Started my strong & fit class again but limiting activities during the 1hr session so that I’m not damaging my knees. Focusing on arms, shoulders, and core. Bike 20 min.
Day 37: 02/06 - 232.5 - Eating 3 slices of pizza was stupid. There I said it! No exercise but plenty of water and only snacks I let myself have were protein … slice of deli meat twice. But there was a snickers at a cash register that jumped out and bit me. I had my sketching class which started up for the year!!! YEAH And teaching adult ESL as well as errands out of the house. Being sick for a week it felt good to leave the house!
Day 38: 02/07 - 231.6 - Today’s focus is exercise and portion control. Bike 20 min! Snacked once on a handful of peanuts only.
Day 39: 02/08 - 231.9 - Up and down all night UGH! My other leg is killing me

Day 40: 02/09 - 232.1 - Today’s focus is exercise and portion control and reducing my snack intake. Strong & fit class + 20 min on bike.
Day 41: 02/10 - 231.6 - Watched DH run in a 5K this morning with my best friend while her husband and I were on the side lines. I wish I was back into running/walking shape but right now I’m just hanging on with a thread.
Day 42: 02/11 - 231.4 - Planning to exercise and not snack. Less of a challenge this year than usual since I have no o Super Bowl Party to attend and I’m not hosting either!

Week 6 Goal: < 230 Until I hit it!
Week 6 actual weight: 231.4

End of wk 6: I just squeaked in on that goal, but I'm happy with that. The real goal for me this year is to learn to eat well so I enjoy life while not seesawing. I'm sticking to the plan, logging and eating at a deficit; figuring out nutrition and calories for loss and maintenance. At 5'2" that margin was always slim, at 66 it's even slimmer, but it's doable. On to another week, and the halfway point!

Day 36-02/05--78.0kg I'm tetter totting again. I have a feeling my weight loss is more stepped than linear, a drop then plateau, then another drop. That's fine all in the right direction.
Started a 30 day beginner resistance band challenge today .1/30 unsure if to complete it again with stronger bands or mice up to the intermediate with the same strength. Guess I'll see. It was nice to move though. They pack away easily so good to take when away from home.

Day 37-02/06--77.8kg woke up feeling good, hopefully the weight loss is improving my sleep quality? Exercise challenge 2/30

Day 38-02/07--77.6kg, no idea what's happening but I like it. Exercise challenge 3/30

Day 41-02/10--77.8kg need to catch up on yesterdays excercise challenge. Two very long work days with extremely challenging behaviours. I still love them. Thankfully it's now half term.6/30

Day 42-02/11--78.0kg..scratches head and wanders off confused (possibly late eating at 9, but had under eaten and skipped lunch) caught up in my excercise challenge, it was interesting to see my heart rate excellerate and how long it took to drop back down again on my Fitbit. 7/30

Hi
I am Dawn
5'2" (used to be 5'3"), 63 years old

Brand new year! Of course going to try to take off some greasy pounds.

Week 1 Goal: 143.2 (beginning of last 100)
Week 1 actual weight: 145.6 - Start weight of the week 145.6

Week 2 Goal: Didn't put one this week
Week 2 actual weight: 145.0 - started the week at 145.8

Week 3 Goal: 143.4
Week 3 actual weight: 144.8

Week 4 Goal: 143.8
Week 4 actual weight: 144.6 - Used Saturday's weight

Week 5 Goal: 143.8 - Just putting this number in until I hit it
Week 5 actual weight: 144.8 - started the week at 145.6

Day 36 -02/05 - 144.0 - TMI before weighing which doesn't usually happen so I am not sure about this number, but I will take it!

Day 37 -02/06 - 144.0 - Can I get 0.6 pounds off this week to hit my target? I am trying.

Day 38 -02/07 - 144.8 - Sigh, one step forward 2 steps back.

Day 39 -02/08 - 144.4 - Finally the littlest of our arenas opened up. It is powered by the arena next door to it, which has been out of service since the fall. So the first public skating at the little one finally happened! So great. It falls on the day that I only have one job, and any appointments that I had booked for that day have now been changed so that I can attend. It goes until March 13th every Wednesday just after I finish work : - )

Day 40 -02/09 - 144.8 - Ran out of time to read and post, so posting this the 10th

Day 41 -02/10 - 145.4 - Ran out of time to eat between jobs and ended up eating 2 helpings of my stirfry instead of 1, I was soooo hungry. Oops

Day 42 -02/11 - 144.4 - Ate exactly the same as the day before plus added 1/2 of a sandwich between jobs. However, all of that stir fry that I consumed came out just after posting yesterday. Bulk fibre I guess. I had a package of Bratwurst in the freezer, so took out 3, thawed and cooked them. That will be my dinner for the next 3 nights, pre-logged. I plan to wrap it in a tortilla with raw onions and mustard, have a side of potato wedges (still from my garden) done in the toaster oven.

Week 6 Goal: 143.8 - Just putting this number in until I hit it

Week 7 actual weight:

My ticker is based on my start of this 100, not on my total weight loss to date.
I realize that until I lose a few pounds the ticker is having the beginning numbers overlap lol
Still trying to make it bigger. Copied it to a Word document to try to stretch it out from there.

Start weight of this 100: 145.6
Measurements: Waist - 33", Hips 37"

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ January 1st thru April 9th, 2024

“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 183.8
Goal This Round: 171.8

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Round #16---188.0
Round #17---183.8

Thoughts:

While other challenges may show bigger losses (or gains), it really depends on what date you are looking at with me because I do go up & down quite a lot, especially with my frequent required day trips. However, from Jan 1st through Dec 31st, I lost 16.0 pounds in the full year of 2023. That is what I have lost and KEPT OFF. While I am very proud of that, I know that the road ahead is long and will be a difficult one since I still have so far to go and so many health related obstacles in my way. Each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I can make, no matter how big or small. I am also grateful for all the support from all of you that I get on a daily basis. Working on my health has become my #1 priority. My main goals are to maintain my remission by staying cancer free and to keep my diabetes in control. Losing weight is key to both goals.

Day 40-02/09-178.4-(Trend weight 182.3)

Day 41-02/10-179.0-(Trend weight 181.9) I showed a small gain of about ½ lb. overnight for an unknown reason as I thought yesterday was on target. I ate a moderate day of about 1300 calories and 64 net carbs on my zig-zag diet. Sodium was about 2550 so it was a touch high. Fat and protein were in line with my desired macros. I did about 45 minutes of actual exercising and also tackled a home project which really helped me get extra steps in. TMI was good before weighing and my sleep was pretty good too. I know that weight leveling off and/or standing still for a minute can be typical but an unexplained gain is always confusing. I will just have to trust my trend weight, which continues to go down, that I’m on the right track. I had two pieces of sugar-free Russell Stovers dark chocolate last night that fell within my limits. Could that be it? Could it be the TYPE of foods instead of the actual numbers attached to the foods? I am glad to be back in the 170’s but it looks like I may be trying to hold on for dear life. I really want to impress my doctor on Monday!

Day 42-02/11-179.2-(Trend weight 181.7) I’m okay with a 0.2 increase even though I wish it wasn’t the day before an important doctor appointment. The increase is expected due to no TMI and also because of that sandwich I had at 2:00 a.m. I was just so hungry! I wasn’t about to make the same mistake I’ve made so many times and start stuffing “approved” snacks into my pie hole that add up to big trouble and no satisfaction. So I just broke down and made my low calorie/lower carb sandwich and enjoyed it with a cold glass of water. I don’t think it actually put me over my calories or carbs for the day so I’m happy to see the damage wasn’t too bad. Tonight I’ll need to go to bed earlier for my traveling downstate early in the morning so history should not repeat itself, at least not tonight. While traveling I will opt for my highest calorie day on the zig-zag plan, but will very likely still be over. I’ll pay that fiddler when I get home.

Fooshki · February 11

Hello,
My name is Stephanie, I’m 34, and I’m from California. I am 5’7” and 250 lbs. Ideally I would like to get to around 150-155 lbs. (which would make me a normal BMI for my height) by the end of 2024. For this challenge, my goal is to lose 30 pounds since that’s about 2 pounds per week.

Day 42/100
