@deepwoodslady
I am very excited about your primary bedroom and ensuite, walk-in closet to boot!!
Do you get Wayfair in the States btw? I know that they always have free shipping.
I am sure that it is tough for you to get a dance song in here and there with workmen in your house. Still, set yourself an alarm to get up from your 'puter every 45-60 minutes to jump around/move your body somehow. Keep that blood and oxygen flowing girl.1 -
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
Week 6 Goal: 143.8 - Just putting this number in until I hit it
Week 6 actual weight: 144.4 - Started the week at 144.0
Day 50-02/19 - 143.4 - Wow, somehow dropped a pound!! That has made my day! I have been working at this for so many years, and have almost felt like giving up because it seems like I just don't lose any weight no matter how "good" I am. This loss will motivate me to keep on keeping on : - )
Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.2
Week 8 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it
Week 8 actual weight: 145.8 - started the week at 143.0
Week 9 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it. Seems a bit unrealistic at this point
Week 9 actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week (and the 100) at 145.6
Week 10 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it.
Week 10 actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week at 144.4
Day 71-03/11 - 144.4 - You wouldn't think that a 1 hour time change would mess you up so much. We voted it down in 2019, but are tied to the USA not quite ready to do it yet. I honestly don't care if we stay on Standard time or Daylight savings time, I just want us to stop doing this twice a year.
Day 72-03/12 - 144.6 - Up a little. I was dragging all day yesterday, but so was everybody at both of my jobs. Day 5 of 5 of both jobs, doing a split at the restaurant tomorrow, so I can go to the final public skating of the season during my 2 hour break : - )
Day 73-03/13 -
Day 74-03/14 - 145.8 - So much easier to put on than take off : - ( Working an extra shift at the restaurant today, although off from the job that I hate. Last skate yesterday until October : - (
Day 75-03/15 -
Day 76-03/16 - 146.2 - All seems to be correct, but I am somehow gaining. Not even letting it bother me today. I slept very well last night, not usual for me. I feel like when I cut back my shifts come May that the weight will drop off.
Day 77-03/17 -
Week 11 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it.
Week 11 actual weight:
My ticker is based on my start of this 100, not on my total weight loss to date.
Start weight of this 100: 145.6
Measurements: Waist - 33", Hips 37"0 -
My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018.
Start Weight (from February 29th, 2024 ): 177.0
Goal Weight: 145
End of Monthly Challenge Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost or Gained this Month: xxxxx
I will weigh in on Saturdays and also on the first and last day of each month to get a monthly tally for myself. My weight swings back & forth a lot, mostly due to self-sabotage when I start doing well. However, I have managed to lose approximately 20 pounds since July of 2023. I expect the loss will begin to slow down a bit, but I am feeling pretty strong and confident that I can reach my goal in 2024.
Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.
03/01-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)-
03/02-178.0-(Trend Weight: 179.3)-
03/09-178.8-(Trend Weight: 178.8)- I was doing better earlier in the week and was prepared to show a bit of a loss but I just couldn’t get full these past two days. You ABSOLUTELY can gain wait on approved foods. Too much is simply too much.
03/16-181.2-(Trend Weight: 180.4)- What a horrible week for both food and exercise this has been! This 3 room renovation in the primary/ensuite/closet area has really tied my hands. I’ve been given the task of the online shopping for every single item from shoe cubbies to towel rings. All sitting. And the cravings for sugar are through the roof! Is my body looking for quick energy since it feels I’m not moving around as much as usual? Sitting on the computer is making me lazy! I’ve got to begin to turn this back around at some point. I do long for the day that my king sized bed isn’t sitting in the middle of my livingroom (where I am now sleeping), totes and boxes of supplies, clothes etc. aren’t piled up to it and I have some floor space again to exercise. And a little privacy too would be nice! But I am excited about the project, just not the road it takes to get there! Kind of like a diet, isn’t it?

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.

I’ve broken through my plateau but man these last five pounds are going to be a struggle. Why was it so easy to lose the first 20 pounds, but an uphill battle to lose the last 3? I think I need to change up my routine a bit and hopefully I’ll be at the goal when April 9th rolls around.

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.
Day 43-02/12-- 69 kg.
Day 44-02/13-- DNW. Pancakes galore! With bananas and chocolate sauce! Will repent tomorrow.
Day 45-02/14-- 69 kg. Today is both Ash Wednesday and St Valentine's Day.
Roses are red, violets are blue:
Lent is beginning - no chocolate for you.
Day 46-02/15-- 68 kg
Day 47-02/16-- 67.9 kg. Per MFP this day deficit, I will weigh 65.4 in 5 weeks. Hope and pray!
Day 48-02/17-- 68.1 kg. So close!
Day 49-02/18-- 67.9 kg. Darn chocolate buttons,
Week 7 Goal: 68 kg.
Week 7 actual weight: 67.9. Try to find myself some non-food reward for coming in under goal.
Day 50-02/19-- 67.5 kg. Halfway thru the Challenge and Halfway to Goal!
Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) or 50 grams per day.
Day 51-02/20-- 68.1 kg.
Day 52-02/21-- 67.9 kg.
Day 53-02/22-- 67.8 kg.
Day 54-02/23-- 68 kg.
Day 55-02/24-- 69 kg. Back on a bread binge.
Day 56-02/25-- 68 kg. Le sigh.
Week 8 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 8 actual weight: 68 kg. Well, at least it's not more than I weighed 7 days ago.
Day 57-02/26-- 67.5 kg. Have lost 18 (39.6 lb) kg in just over 10 months. Also down 32.5 kg (71.5 lb) since my highest weight - just after first lockdown, so nearly 4 years ago.
Day 58-02/27-- 67.6 kg.
Day 59-02/28-- DNW
Day 60-02/29-- 67.3 kg. ......Ithinkicanithinkicanithinkican.....
Day 61-03/01-- 67.2 kg. Last time I weighed this much/little was well over 20 years ago. Think I was living in another city in 2001? 2002? I was still doing karate then. Maybe I should look into Aikido, which is a softer martial art, or Tai Chi? I know one of the nearby church halls has a falls prevention exercise program for seniors which includes some Tai Chi.
Day 62-03/02-- 67 kg. Waist 30 inches. Hips 39 inches. I'd like to lose a little more round the waist, mostly because I'm concerned about visceral fat - but I'm too old to regain the hourglass figure I had at 22!
Day 63-03/03-- 67 kg.
Week 9 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 9 actual weight: 67 kg. Only 2 kg to lose over the next 5 weeks!
Day 64-03/04-- DNW
Day 65-03/05-- 67.5 kg.
Day 66-03/06-- 67.2 kg. Somewhat surprised at the loss as there was no restraint yesterday. Dear Universe, please stop sending cheese my way. If it's in the fridge it begs to be eaten - oh, that's right. I'm the one what bought it and placed it in the fridge.....
Day 67-03/07-- 68.1 kg. Need to lose 100 g per day for the rest of the Challenge to meet my goal.
Day 68-03/08-- 67.9 kg.
Day 69-03/09-- 68 kg. How come I'm putting on weight in Lent? Well.... tonight was the Spencer-Smith (chaplain on Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition 1914-17. Buried in the ice) Memorial Mass and Lecture, with unveiling of the new stained glass window. Followed by Big Supper - more than a few of us forgot we are supposed to be fasting....
Day 70-03/10-- 67 kg. It is what it is......nevertheless, she persisted.
Week 10 Goal: 66.5 kg.
Week 10 actual weight: 67 kg.
Day 71-03/11-- 66.9 kg. Forecast for the next few days is not great, don't know how much outdoor exercise I'll get. May have to do some dancing to You Tube videos or something to burn up the calories - keeping below limit will be a challenge otherwise.
Day 72-03/12-- 67 kg.
Day 73-03/13-- 66.7 kg. Back at the lowest weight I've been since back on 11/18 last year, before realising my scale was inaccurate. So really I have lost 23.8 kg (over 52 lb) in just under a year. Go me!
Day 74-03/14-- 66.5 kg. Hang on for Just.A.Little.Longer.
Day 75-03/15-- 66.2 kg. So Close to my Final Goal! Just 1.2 kg (2.64 lbs) and 25 days to go!

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 76-03/16-181.2-(Trend weight 180.4) What a horrible week for both food and exercise this has been! This 3 room renovation in the primary/ensuite/closet area has really tied my hands. I’ve been given the task of the online shopping for every single item from shoe cubbies to towel rings. All sitting. And the cravings for sugar are through the roof! Is my body looking for quick energy since it feels I’m not moving around as much as usual? Sitting on the computer is making me lazy! I’ve got to begin to turn this back around at some point. I do long for the day that my king sized bed isn’t sitting in the middle of my livingroom (where I am now sleeping), totes and boxes of supplies, clothes etc. aren’t piled up to it and I have some floor space again to exercise. And a little privacy too would be nice! But I am excited about the project, just not the road it takes to get there! Kind of like a diet, isn’t it?
Day 77-03/17-181.2-(Trend weight 180.4) I was woke up by my oldest daughter this morning who needed to borrow my pickup truck to pick up something she found on facebook marketplace. I ended up not getting a weigh-in before coffee. Yesterday lacked exercise again but the diet was okay. I did have some skittles and smarties from Easter candy my other daughter (foodie daughter) brought in but I don’t think it was enough to throw off my whole day. I guess we’ll see tomorrow. Since I don’t have a weight today, I will use yesterday’s weight as my Week 11 weight and hope that handful of candy doesn’t set me up badly for next week. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Week 11 SW: 201.0 | EW: 199.4
Trying to find the next "right thing" had me second guessing myself 🧐🧐 way too much this past week. In hindsight, things actually weren't that bad. I just let the weight loss part get to me more than usual. Its annoying how age, hormones, etc. makes the challenge sometimes feel impossible!! It so friggin hard in comparison to my youth ~ but I digress.
The good stuff! I've lost 13 of the 20-25 pounds, 2.8% of 5% body fat, and this new/old body composition feels like Beyonce, lol ... I love looking in the mirror again 👙 and that's a NSV all by itself!! The goal was also 5 📏 but I've already lost double that from hips, breast, thighs, arms and waist combined. That's a lot of fat friends! I stopped being sad after doing the math.✨✨ Can I lose 7+ pounds and 2% body fat in 33 days? Unlikely, but not impossible. I'm ready!

Halfway Progress Report: Pounds Lost so Far: 7.5 -- realizing I'm averaging about a pound per week is a bit disappointing fitfam!

Day 63-03/03 — 202.4
SW: 204.8 | EW: 202.4 (-2.4)
Week 9 Summary: Sleep was OK, but not nearly enough stretching. Met Strength and HIIT goals, and Steps 5 of 7. IF was easy @ 20, 21, 18, 24, 19, 22 hours so aiming for one 24 and 36 next week. Tired of dancing around 203 all month, I finally joined another gym yesterday. Having wasting so much money in the past, I just needed to prove to myself this time was different by consistently working out at home first. Now that I've done that, I feel like I'm going in circles! uuggghhhh
So though the pool (and much needed weights!!) were my main motivators, turns out the facility is very community oriented with lots of group activities (including paint and travel), they have a Taebo room and Billy's a fan!
having recently added some of his workouts to my YouTube list also excited about that to the mix!
Marching onward fitfam ... onederland and summer shorts in sight.

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.
Day 43-02/12-- 69 kg.
Day 44-02/13-- DNW. Pancakes galore! With bananas and chocolate sauce! Will repent tomorrow.
Day 45-02/14-- 69 kg. Today is both Ash Wednesday and St Valentine's Day.
Roses are red, violets are blue:
Lent is beginning - no chocolate for you.
Day 46-02/15-- 68 kg
Day 47-02/16-- 67.9 kg. Per MFP this day deficit, I will weigh 65.4 in 5 weeks. Hope and pray!
Day 48-02/17-- 68.1 kg. So close!
Day 49-02/18-- 67.9 kg. Darn chocolate buttons,
Week 7 Goal: 68 kg.
Week 7 actual weight: 67.9. Try to find myself some non-food reward for coming in under goal.
Day 50-02/19-- 67.5 kg. Halfway thru the Challenge and Halfway to Goal!
Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) or 50 grams per day.
Day 51-02/20-- 68.1 kg.
Day 52-02/21-- 67.9 kg.
Day 53-02/22-- 67.8 kg.
Day 54-02/23-- 68 kg.
Day 55-02/24-- 69 kg. Back on a bread binge.
Day 56-02/25-- 68 kg. Le sigh.
Week 8 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 8 actual weight: 68 kg. Well, at least it's not more than I weighed 7 days ago.
Day 57-02/26-- 67.5 kg. Have lost 18 (39.6 lb) kg in just over 10 months. Also down 32.5 kg (71.5 lb) since my highest weight - just after first lockdown, so nearly 4 years ago.
Day 58-02/27-- 67.6 kg.
Day 59-02/28-- DNW
Day 60-02/29-- 67.3 kg. ......Ithinkicanithinkicanithinkican.....
Day 61-03/01-- 67.2 kg. Last time I weighed this much/little was well over 20 years ago. Think I was living in another city in 2001? 2002? I was still doing karate then. Maybe I should look into Aikido, which is a softer martial art, or Tai Chi? I know one of the nearby church halls has a falls prevention exercise program for seniors which includes some Tai Chi.
Day 62-03/02-- 67 kg. Waist 30 inches. Hips 39 inches. I'd like to lose a little more round the waist, mostly because I'm concerned about visceral fat - but I'm too old to regain the hourglass figure I had at 22!
Day 63-03/03-- 67 kg.
Week 9 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 9 actual weight: 67 kg. Only 2 kg to lose over the next 5 weeks!
Day 64-03/04-- DNW
Day 65-03/05-- 67.5 kg.
Day 66-03/06-- 67.2 kg. Somewhat surprised at the loss as there was no restraint yesterday. Dear Universe, please stop sending cheese my way. If it's in the fridge it begs to be eaten - oh, that's right. I'm the one what bought it and placed it in the fridge.....
Day 67-03/07-- 68.1 kg. Need to lose 100 g per day for the rest of the Challenge to meet my goal.
Day 68-03/08-- 67.9 kg.
Day 69-03/09-- 68 kg. How come I'm putting on weight in Lent? Well.... tonight was the Spencer-Smith (chaplain on Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition 1914-17. Buried in the ice) Memorial Mass and Lecture, with unveiling of the new stained glass window. Followed by Big Supper - more than a few of us forgot we are supposed to be fasting....
Day 70-03/10-- 67 kg. It is what it is......nevertheless, she persisted.
Week 10 Goal: 66.5 kg.
Week 10 actual weight: 67 kg.
Day 71-03/11-- 66.9 kg. Forecast for the next few days is not great, don't know how much outdoor exercise I'll get. May have to do some dancing to You Tube videos or something to burn up the calories - keeping below limit will be a challenge otherwise.
Day 72-03/12-- 67 kg.
Day 73-03/13-- 66.7 kg. Back at the lowest weight I've been since back on 11/18 last year, before realising my scale was inaccurate. So really I have lost 23.8 kg (over 52 lb) in just under a year. Go me!
Day 74-03/14-- 66.5 kg. Hang on for Just.A.Little.Longer.
Day 75-03/15-- 66.2 kg. So Close to my Final Goal! Just 1.2 kg (2.64 lbs) and 25 days to go!
Day 76-03/16-- 66.1 kg.
Day 77-03/17-- 66.5 kg.
Week 11 Goal: 66.5 kg.
Week 11 actual weight: 66.5 kg. Yay!
Day 78-03/18-- 66.1 kg. Used an online body fat calculator that used my measurements to tell me I am 31% fat. I realise this is only an approximation and I should get it measured more accurately, but I am not happy with that amount of visceral fat still around my organs - it's deemed "normal" at my age, but what is considered "normal" isn't always healthy, at least in one's 60s. As a senior, a certain amount of allowance for degeneration sneaks in. I would like to get to 25% body fat, so I'm looking to build up some muscle, and I think I will lower my ultimate goal to 60 kg. Another 100 Day Challenge coming up!!??

Week 12:
Day 75 – 03/15: 174 I’ve been in a “living day-to-day” mode. Now to lock onto my big picture goal of losing 30lbs. The snow’s all but gone so the outdoors is once again my playground.
50 min solo hike / walk .
Day 76-03/16: 174 50 min hike which included ‘the hill’ – hard going, many stops but it’s always this way the first few treks back up from the valley.
Day 77-03/17: 175.4 Worked then enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine. Exercises, chest press, fly and triceps 3 sets 12 reps.
Day 78-03/18: 176 Struggling b/c this weight was totally unexpected. Now to stay focused and not let the mind games win out.

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
Week 6 Goal: 143.8 - Just putting this number in until I hit it
Week 6 actual weight: 144.4 - Started the week at 144.0
Day 50-02/19 - 143.4 - Wow, somehow dropped a pound!! That has made my day! I have been working at this for so many years, and have almost felt like giving up because it seems like I just don't lose any weight no matter how "good" I am. This loss will motivate me to keep on keeping on : - )
Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.2
Week 8 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it
Week 8 actual weight: 145.8 - started the week at 143.0
Week 9 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it. Seems a bit unrealistic at this point
Week 9 actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week (and the 100) at 145.6
Week 10 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it.
Week 10 actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week at 144.4
Day 71-03/11 - 144.4 - You wouldn't think that a 1 hour time change would mess you up so much. We voted it down in 2019, but are tied to the USA not quite ready to do it yet. I honestly don't care if we stay on Standard time or Daylight savings time, I just want us to stop doing this twice a year.
Day 72-03/12 - 144.6 - Up a little. I was dragging all day yesterday, but so was everybody at both of my jobs. Day 5 of 5 of both jobs, doing a split at the restaurant tomorrow, so I can go to the final public skating of the season during my 2 hour break : - )
Day 73-03/13 -
Day 74-03/14 - 145.8 - So much easier to put on than take off : - ( Working an extra shift at the restaurant today, although off from the job that I hate. Last skate yesterday until October : - (
Day 75-03/15 -
Day 76-03/16 - 146.2 - All seems to be correct, but I am somehow gaining. Not even letting it bother me today. I slept very well last night, not usual for me. I feel like when I cut back my shifts come May that the weight will drop off.
Day 77-03/17 - 146.8 - Missed posting due to doing taxes before work. I am still logging everything (that is a very quick thing to do). Climbing climbing climbing in weight, not liking it.
Week 11 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it.
Week 11 actual weight: 146.8 - Started the week at 144.4
Day 78-03/18 - 147.2 - Ouch!!! No way that I can have my once every 100 days Ribs feed this round. Not sure what is going on with my body, input cals are good, output is good. Just going to keep at it.

@tinathescreamer Yes, I'm sure there will be another Challenge after this one. Look for it closer to the end. A link can be posted here.

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 77-03/17-181.2-(Trend weight 180.4) I was woke up by my oldest daughter this morning who needed to borrow my pickup truck to pick up something she found on facebook marketplace. I ended up not getting a weigh-in before coffee. Yesterday lacked exercise again but the diet was okay. I did have some skittles and smarties from Easter candy my other daughter (foodie daughter) brought in but I don’t think it was enough to throw off my whole day. I guess we’ll see tomorrow. Since I don’t have a weight today, I will use yesterday’s weight as my Week 11 weight and hope that handful of candy doesn’t set me up badly for next week. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Day 78-03/18-180.4-(Trend weight 180.4) Down almost one pound so I am happy to see that. It’s unusual for my scale weight and my trend weight to be exactly the same. I’ve got to get that trend weight trending back down or I’ll never get out of the 170’s and get to cross off pink and get to purple on my chart above. What a glorious day that would be. I haven’t weighed in the 160’s in about 25 years!

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.
Day 43-02/12-- 69 kg.
Day 44-02/13-- DNW. Pancakes galore! With bananas and chocolate sauce! Will repent tomorrow.
Day 45-02/14-- 69 kg. Today is both Ash Wednesday and St Valentine's Day.
Roses are red, violets are blue:
Lent is beginning - no chocolate for you.
Day 46-02/15-- 68 kg
Day 47-02/16-- 67.9 kg. Per MFP this day deficit, I will weigh 65.4 in 5 weeks. Hope and pray!
Day 48-02/17-- 68.1 kg. So close!
Day 49-02/18-- 67.9 kg. Darn chocolate buttons,
Week 7 Goal: 68 kg.
Week 7 actual weight: 67.9. Try to find myself some non-food reward for coming in under goal.
Day 50-02/19-- 67.5 kg. Halfway thru the Challenge and Halfway to Goal!
Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) or 50 grams per day.
Day 51-02/20-- 68.1 kg.
Day 52-02/21-- 67.9 kg.
Day 53-02/22-- 67.8 kg.
Day 54-02/23-- 68 kg.
Day 55-02/24-- 69 kg. Back on a bread binge.
Day 56-02/25-- 68 kg. Le sigh.
Week 8 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 8 actual weight: 68 kg. Well, at least it's not more than I weighed 7 days ago.
Day 57-02/26-- 67.5 kg. Have lost 18 (39.6 lb) kg in just over 10 months. Also down 32.5 kg (71.5 lb) since my highest weight - just after first lockdown, so nearly 4 years ago.
Day 58-02/27-- 67.6 kg.
Day 59-02/28-- DNW
Day 60-02/29-- 67.3 kg. ......Ithinkicanithinkicanithinkican.....
Day 61-03/01-- 67.2 kg. Last time I weighed this much/little was well over 20 years ago. Think I was living in another city in 2001? 2002? I was still doing karate then. Maybe I should look into Aikido, which is a softer martial art, or Tai Chi? I know one of the nearby church halls has a falls prevention exercise program for seniors which includes some Tai Chi.
Day 62-03/02-- 67 kg. Waist 30 inches. Hips 39 inches. I'd like to lose a little more round the waist, mostly because I'm concerned about visceral fat - but I'm too old to regain the hourglass figure I had at 22!
Day 63-03/03-- 67 kg.
Week 9 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 9 actual weight: 67 kg. Only 2 kg to lose over the next 5 weeks!
Day 64-03/04-- DNW
Day 65-03/05-- 67.5 kg.
Day 66-03/06-- 67.2 kg. Somewhat surprised at the loss as there was no restraint yesterday. Dear Universe, please stop sending cheese my way. If it's in the fridge it begs to be eaten - oh, that's right. I'm the one what bought it and placed it in the fridge.....
Day 67-03/07-- 68.1 kg. Need to lose 100 g per day for the rest of the Challenge to meet my goal.
Day 68-03/08-- 67.9 kg.
Day 69-03/09-- 68 kg. How come I'm putting on weight in Lent? Well.... tonight was the Spencer-Smith (chaplain on Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition 1914-17. Buried in the ice) Memorial Mass and Lecture, with unveiling of the new stained glass window. Followed by Big Supper - more than a few of us forgot we are supposed to be fasting....
Day 70-03/10-- 67 kg. It is what it is......nevertheless, she persisted.
Week 10 Goal: 66.5 kg.
Week 10 actual weight: 67 kg.
Day 71-03/11-- 66.9 kg. Forecast for the next few days is not great, don't know how much outdoor exercise I'll get. May have to do some dancing to You Tube videos or something to burn up the calories - keeping below limit will be a challenge otherwise.
Day 72-03/12-- 67 kg.
Day 73-03/13-- 66.7 kg. Back at the lowest weight I've been since back on 11/18 last year, before realising my scale was inaccurate. So really I have lost 23.8 kg (over 52 lb) in just under a year. Go me!
Day 74-03/14-- 66.5 kg. Hang on for Just.A.Little.Longer.
Day 75-03/15-- 66.2 kg. So Close to my Final Goal! Just 1.2 kg (2.64 lbs) and 25 days to go!
Day 76-03/16-- 66.1 kg.
Day 77-03/17-- 66.5 kg.
Week 11 Goal: 66.5 kg.
Week 11 actual weight: 66.5 kg. Yay!
Day 78-03/18-- 66.1 kg. Used an online body fat calculator that used my measurements to tell me I am 31% fat. I realise this is only an approximation and I should get it measured more accurately, but I am not happy with that amount of visceral fat still around my organs - it's deemed "normal" at my age, but what is considered "normal" isn't always healthy, at least in one's 60s. As a senior, a certain amount of allowance for degeneration sneaks in. I would like to get to 25% body fat, so I'm looking to build up some muscle, and I think I will lower my ultimate goal to 60 kg. Another 100 Day Challenge coming up!!??

Day 100-04/09…..(Final Weigh- In)-3 -
@deepwoodslady Yay! It's been more difficult for me to lose weight this time round, I think partly because I'm smaller and the kilos come off slower. But also I got a little discouraged in the middle of last round when it turned out my scale was wrong and I added 5 kg (11 lbs) overnight. But now I'm back down to where I was before and can clearly see the end in sight!4
-
I'm joining really late (or really early for the next round???) but I thought I'd see how I go with this challenge.
Day 79 Mar-19 80.7 kg6
