    100 day Challenge 4/10/24–7/17/24 **Do it for Mobility**

    4/10-4/29: DNW - Vacation France, Canary Islands, Morocco, Spain
    5/2: 234
    5/4: 234.1
    5/5:234.7
    5/6: 236
    5/8: 234.2
    5/10:233.4
    5/12: 233.4
    5/15:233.2
    5/25: 233.2
    5/27: 232.4
    5/28: 231.4

    6/12: 231.7
    Decided to start with baby steps focusing on drinking more water this week along with getting back into better consistent exercise.
    6/22: 232.9 / 231.9 - Waist 41”, Bike 25 min, 72oz water
    Start tracking every single bite!
    6/23: 231.9 / 231.6 - Walk .5 mile, Bike 25 min, garden 30 min, 64 oz water, Journaled

    My weekly weigh in is on Mondays. Setting my goals for this week.
    <230
    Bike 3x 25 min
    Strong & Fit 2x
    Water 72+ oz daily
    Journal every bite daily


    Day: Weight Daily Weigh In / Trend Weight over 14 days - Comments report day of activity
    6/24: 230.1 / 231.2 - Strong & Fit 1 hr, garden 15 min, 80 oz water, journaled
    6/25: 230.2 /230.8 - Bike 25, 80 oz water, journaled. Received the lab reports from my physical and mammogram. All is clear. “Just” need to lose weight!
    Broke through that 230 barrier that has haunted me in 2024. The last time I saw 229 on the scale was Dec 2023. My BETTER habits are coming back to me and I'm losing!
    6/26: 229.1 / 230.3 - Bike 25, 72-80 oz water, journaled.
    6/27: 229.2 / 230.0

    Using Happy Scale to track my daily weigh in and view my trend. The 14 day moving average provides me a little better understanding that even when the number on the scale goes up that I’m moving in the right direction.


    I started journalling every bite on Sunday and I’m amazed how easily I’m finding to turn things down (except my glass of wine). But I’m not snacking, no bread with breakfast, skipped the nightly cheese and crackers that DH pulls out, didn’t eat crackers or French bread with my gumbo, etc.

    I believe DH and I have decided to stay in our house and not move. We started conversations about redesigning our entire downstairs with a design firm and are having drawings designed to get bids from contractors. I guess this will add to my challenge in that we might not have a kitchen (it will be gutted) for months on end.
    @deepwoodslady ... survival tips for staying on plan when remodeling a kitchen would be useful so any time you want to chime in please do. Unlike you we have a ton of restaurants which means I might be eating out more. But if I can figure out how to eat in without "processed foods" I would love the tips and tricks.

    Planning! YEAH me!
    I'm going out to lunch with a friend today to a Thai restaurant. I pre journaled my favorite meal and made a few decisions on how to change my order to ensure that I'm making better choices.
    Also talked to DH and asked about his lunch plans and our dinner options. We agreed that he too will have a bigger lunch so that I'm not making us a large dinner and can stick with a salad this evening.

    My goal is to be proud of my weight loss.

    Day 01 80.1 kg, I did my planned exercise but I overate a little bit (I'm tracking my intake), since I started tracking I've eaten out 4 times and I need to compensate for those times. I read "most people who lose weight will regain it within 5 years", I checked my old numbers and I'm 3.5 kg under what I weighed 5 years ago. I guess I'm in that category. I talked to my partner about my weight loss (something I'm trying to do less often).
    Day 02 80.0 kg, I ate below my ideal which should help me recover from previous overeating. I did my exercise sessions.
    Day 03 80.1 kg my eating is on track for the last 3 days but I need to recover from the previous 9 which averaged too high. I exercised and that's on track too. Disappointed that the scale is headed in the wrong direction but...
    Day 04 79.4 kg a big loss today. I did a lot of walking, I had sugary food for the first time in 8 days. I overate. Recently there have been 6 days when I overate a lot, I had sugary food 5 times. Coincidence?
    Day 05 79.8 kg just a normal day where I am good, no overeating and exercising is as required
    Day 06 80.4 kg I started two personal challenges, I had some sugary food because I won't be having sugary food for a while, so on Tuesday I gained...
    Day 07 80.6 kg my eating and exercise went well, still need to recover from the overeating episodes, maybe in 2-3 days that will happen
    Day 08 80.4 kg I had some treats and food I don't usually have, that's a negative, on the plus side I'm still exercising as I intended
    Day 09 80.3 kg I have a cold so I only managed half my exercise today, that's fine, eating was good.
    Day 10 80.2 kg another day when I ate properly, two days in a row, plus two exercise sessions.
    Day 11 79.7 kg a good day in terms of exercise and eating
    Day 12 78.7 kg I don't see a 1 kg loss very often, anyway I overate again, although my exercise was as planned
    Day 13 79.3 kg Another good day, exercise and diet were good. I've decided to attempt to lose 10 kg in 100 days - so this will move over to the next round. Starting tomorrow.
    Day 14 79.4 kg I ran the numbers to see whether I could lose 10 kg in 100 days and it seems iffy, however I'm not particularly hungry as I lose weight, so I guess I should just eat less. I overate and did my required amount of exercise. I looked at my intake graph and since day 1 there's been 7 days when I've overeaten.
    Day 15 79.7 kg I ate a bit too much and my exercise was less than required. 10 kg in 100 days: 10.3 kg to lose in 99 days. Can I do it? Probably.
    Day 16 79.6 kg I ate too much but my exercise was alright. I've decided to delay the 10 kg in 100 days idea until my weight loss 'settles down'
    Day 17 79.5 kg ate too much and didn't exercise at my desired level
    Day 18 80.4 kg whoa how did that happen? Maybe eating too much?
    Day 19 79.7 kg ate too much, exercise average is okay
    Day 20 79.9 kg
    Day 21 80.0 kg I'm now starting the lose 10 kg in 100 days challenge. Can I do it? Probably.
    Day 22 80.6 kg moderate gain but I'm not too concerned. 10.6 kg in 99 days? Probably.
    Day 23 80.4 kg, things are looking good in terms of eating. 10.4 kg in 98 days? Probably.
    Day 24 80.0 kg, I'm eating too much, 0.1 kg lost in 23 days. Anyway, 10.0 kg in 97 days? Probably.
    Day 25 80.1 kg, eating seems to be under control right now, 30 day weight average has dropped for 3 days in a row (personal best 118 days), 10.1 kg in 96 days? Probably
    Day 26 80.0 kg, eating under control 2 days, 10.0 kg in 95 days? Probably.
    Day 27 79.6 kg, 9.6 kg in 94 days? Probably
    Day 28 79.2 kg, 9.2 kg in 93 days? Graph says yes
    Day 29 79.5 kg, 9.5 kg in 92 days? Graph says yes
    Day 30 78.9 kg, I have food poisoning of some sort, I've lost my appetite and so my weight is dropping, when I start eating properly again I expect to gain a bit. Anyway, 10 kg in 100 days challenge looks good right now
    Day 31 78.1 kg, another major loss, this is going to ruin my 10 day average since it will increase when I recover, I want to beat my personal best of about 20 days of continuous losing
    Day 32 77.7 kg
    Day 33 77.5 kg, I've decided to pause the lose 10 kg in 100 days challenge, there are digestive problems and there's a heatwave where I'm living so I'm just not up to exercise right now
    Day 34 77.2 kg
    Day 35 77.4 kg
    Day 36 77.6 kg
    Day 37 77.5 kg
    Day 38 77.2 kg
    Day 39 77.5 kg
    Day 40 77.8 kg
    Day 41 77.8 kg
    Day 42 77.5 kg
    Day 43 78.2 kg
    Day 44 78.1 kg
    Day 45 77.5 kg
    Day 46 78.5 kg
    Day 47 78.3 kg
    Day 48 77.7 kg
    Day 49 78.1 kg
    Day 50 77.8 kg
    Day 51 77.5 kg
    Day 52 76.9 kg
    Day 53 77.5 kg
    Day 54 77.5 kg
    Day 55 78.5 kg
    Day 56 77.9 kg
    Day 57 77.7 kg So my recent health problem caused me to stop losing weight, I think it's time to start again. I've decided to give myself a challenge - lose 9.7 kg in 97 days. If it's working at the end maybe I'll add an extra 3 days and see if I can do 10 kg in 100 days. Unfortunately my health has not fully recovered so I may need a diagnosis. If that happens I'll stop the challenge. So starting today, I'm aiming to lose weight again. 9.7 kg in 97 days? I probably can do that.
    Day 58 77.6 kg
    Day 59 77.7 kg lose 9.7 kg in 95 days? Probably
    Day 60 77.3 kg, lose 9.3 kg in 94 days? Probably, although I haven't started exercising, I want to have an exercise session this evening, first session in about 2-3 weeks
    Day 61 77.0 kg
    Day 62 76.6 kg so I haven't started exercising yet, so I'll do the weight loss challenge on the day when I start exercising. Whenever that is.
    Day 63 77.1 kg
    Day 64 77.2 kg
    Day 65 77.3 kg

    @Lilylady3k

    I made Gumbo too, but mine is almost identical to my Jambalaya.

    I would love to know what you put into yours.

    Some of you know that I do Fitness Marshall dance songs every day, some of you don't.
    Oxygen to my brain for mental clarity, lifts my emotions, stretches all of my body and opens my arthritic joints.

    These are 3-ish minute songs, easy to fit one in here and there throughout the day.
    Sometimes I do 1-3 of them, sometimes 10 or 15.
    These hit the abs from all angles.
    I looked at different workouts and decided that I wanted a dancer's body.

    @the_reflex
    I see that you haven't quite started exercising yet, so these might be a nice start for you.
    Most of these songs take me 5-10 times before I "get" the movements. Not 5-10 all at once.
    I find it easier to follow Alison or Hayley to learn the movements.

    I haven't posted any in a long time, so here are a few of my favourites.

    My number one morning body opener to prepare me for the day:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0sS2tkoZTY

    Feminine Energy:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsYxe1A5nS0

    Niki Minaj, this one is considered a warmup
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L68PT_f_bqY

    Envolver, this one is super fun and works the lower back rolls and I guess abs all around.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNnBVH4LrkU

    Kylie Minogue, fun one
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpwRmyzyiwM

    I know that you like these @deepwoodslady , these are mostly newer ones.

    Hi!
    I am Dawn. 63, 5'2"
    I have been at this tracking for quite awhile, on this particular thread for 15 out of the 19 iterations of it.
    I lost quite a bit (got to 130), but have been slowly gaining weight over the past 2 years despite my efforts.
    Highest weight was 207. Began on this thread at 198 pounds

    Week 1 Goal: 145.6 - My start weight from the last 100. Plunking this in each week until I hit it.
    Week 1 actual weight: 147.2 - started the week at 146.8

    Week 2 Goal: 145.6 - My start weight from the last 100. Plunking this in each week until I hit it and then go from there.
    Week 2 actual weight: 146.2 - Started the week at 148.0 - Hit my goal once

    Week 3 Goal: 145.6 - My start weight from the last 100. Plunking this in each week until I hit it and then go from there. Hit it one time during week 2. Hit below it this week
    Week 3 actual weight: 146.4

    Week 4 Goal: 145.6. My start weight from the last 100. Plunking this in each week until I hit it and then go from there.
    Week 4 actual weight: 147.6

    Week 5 Goal: stopping smoking week as of May 7
    Week 5 actual weight: 149.6

    Week 6 Goal: Didn't set one
    Week 6 actual weight: 151.0 - extremely early weigh in, so it might be inflated

    Week 7 Goal: Just to enjoy my time at the all-inclusive Cancun
    Week 7 actual weight: I was away, no scale. Started the week at 149.4

    Week 8 Goal: Just to enjoy my time at the all-inclusive Cancun
    Week 8 actual weight: Away with no scale, but started smoking upon arrival at the front entrance where everyone was smoking.

    Week 9 Goal: 146.8 - putting this in each week until I get back to my start weight of this 100
    Week 9 actual weight: 149.2 Started the week at 151.0

    Week 10 Goal: 146.8 - putting this in each week until I get back to my start weight of this 100
    Week 10 actual weight: 147.4 - Started the week at 149.0

    Week 11 goal: 146.8 - putting this in each week until I get back to my start weight of this 100
    Week 11 actual weight: 147.2 - Started the week at 148.2

    Day 78-06/25 - 147.2 - Really enjoyed my day off working in my garden in the sun. I only get 2 days out of the week to try to bring back my tan from Cancun. I guess that most people are in the same boat, working during the day during the tanning rays. So I had a thing happen last night that has happened to me a handful of times in the past. I made a nice healthy dinner, ate about half of it and then I had an overwhelming exhaustion while sitting on the love seat watching HGTV. I fell into a deep sleep for 2 hours from 7pm-9pm. Yes, I was out in the sun most of the day. The last time this happened I wasn't. Neither time did I eat very much. Food coma?

    Day 79-06/26 - 147.2 - Always happy to not see a gain. I very seldom am the same weight 2 days in a row, I am usually all over the place.

    Day 80-06/27 -

    Day 81-06/28 -

    Day 82-06/29 -

    Day 83-06/30 -

    Day 84-07/01 -

    Week 12 Goal: 146.8 - putting this in each week until I get back to my start weight of this 100
    Week 12 actual weight:

    Started the 100 at 146.8

    Thoughts:

    Last round I had my normal goal of a 12 pound loss which is approximately 4 lbs per month. That comes to about 90 days leaving the other 10 open for special holidays and social occasions. In theory, it’s a good plan. In practice it is a Mountain to Crawl up. However, 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.



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

    Day 78-06/26-186.4-(Trend weight 186.1) Much better! I didn’t struggle too much with the snacking last night due to some leftover chili during my very late dinner. Plenty of protein in that chili which made it much easier to meet my protein goal—something I struggle with. I’ve been trying to fit in a protein shake here and there but sometimes it just doesn’t fit into my macros, calorie or carb allowance like I need it to. Still juggling things to make it work.

    Day 79-06/27-186.6-(Trend weight 186.3) It was a very good day of meal planning and eating. But a very bad night of binge and I don’t just mean the TV. The madness has got to stop. My reno crew is not coming today and I’m already stir crazy. I may head out-of-town for any shopping I need and maybe do a little resale-ing. Lots of projects I need to do around here too though so we’ll see. I looked up what I weighed on this day last year. It feels like I’ve gotten nowhere but records show I am down nearly 12 pounds. That’s not much for an entire year of working so hard at logging, prep cooking and often (not often enough?) going without the foods I love. In fact, many people can lose that in just 4-6 weeks on MFP. But it’s nothing for an old gal like me to sneeze at either. Keep going Donna. Progress is just around the bend.

    @Lilylady3k

    I made Gumbo too, but mine is almost identical to my Jambalaya.

    I would love to know what you put into yours.

    @dawnbgethealthy - Here is the general idea


    Turkey or Chicken Bone Gumbo
    Serves: 8

    Ingredients:
    Turkey bones with meat (I used leftover chicken carcass that we had smoked previously.
    Water
    2/3 cup flour
    3/4 cup vegetable oil
    2 onions, chopped
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    1 bell pepper, chopped
    2 stalks celery, chopped
    2 quarts turkey broth (approximate)
    Salt, black pepper, red pepper to taste Tabasco
    2 bay leaves
    1 tsp dried basil
    1 TB dried parsley
    About 1-2 cups chopped turkey
    1 lb smoked sausage, cut into bite size pieces
    Green onion tops, chopped

    After the turkey has been carved, put bones in plenty of water and boil slowly about 1 1⁄2 hours or until remaining meat falls off the bone. Debone meat and save broth.
    Make a roux of oil and flour. Add onions, garlic, bell pepper, and celery; cook until wilted. Add hot broth, salt and peppers, dash of Tabasco, bay leaves, basil and parsley. Cook for 1 hour. Add turkey and sausage and cook about 30 minutes or longer. Add green onions and cook for a few minutes longer. Serve with cooked rice and add a dash of gumbo file’ in each dish, if desired.

    Hi Folks! My name's Darin, and I'm a 45 year old woman from Holly Springs, North Carolina, USA. I've done a past 100 days challenge before and did really well with it (then regained the weight) so wanted to rejoin and try again.
    Starting weight: 176.7
    Day 01-04/10—176.7
    Day 02-04/11—176
    Day 03-04/12—175.2
    Day 04-04/13—174.6 Went to get a mani/pedi today which was lovely. Made a terrific seared salmon for dinner with baked potato and am stopping eating right now! No more eating. That’s it. or drinking. Let’s see how it goes.
    Day 05-04/14—174.3 Succeeded with the no more eating last night. Also succeeded at moderation at an all-you-can eat buffet today (a ton of fresh vegetables and some fruit as well). Thus far the making good decisions is going well. But I think this downward trend is going to stop soon – I’ve lost all the water weight I’m going to lose. So now the work starts for real.
    Day 06-04/15—173.9 Work kicked my butt today. Thankfully Josh and I walked this morning so don’t have to try to exercise right now. Just have to try not to stress-eat the entire fridge and pantry…
    Day 07-04/16—174.2 Slight uptick but still met my goal weight so there’s that. Tough migraine day – had to take part of the day off from work today for bed rest. UGH.

    Week 1 Goal: 174.7
    Week 1 actual weight:174.2

    Day 08-04/17—175.2 another partial day at work today due to migraine, and I’m retaining water. Blergh. Between the two not feeling great. At least got out and walked, and I meditated today. That’s something.
    Day 09-04/18—175.2 migraine’s eased up and have stabilized with the weight. Now hopefully start to see a downward trend? Meditated again and was very moderate with lunch and breakfast. Will try to maintain for dinner.
    Day 10-04/19—175.2
    Day 11-04/20—174.7 I’m trying to be kind to myself with having felt so bad this week. I did have a ”woke myself up laughing” moment that I’m sure you’ll appreciate… I dreamt that I had gone into the office and was looking at a menu to pick out lunch. You know you’re counting calories IRL when your pick’s a clam chowder bread bowl with a bloomin’ onion topper!
    Day 12-04/21—173.9 went to a cheeseburger party yesterday and did well with moderation (just one burger, limited sides, didn’t go bananas when in front of the potato chips although could have. Then came home and didn’t continue eating because I wasn’t hungry. Victory!
    Day 13-04/22—174.4 another rough migraine day today.
    Day 14-04/23—174.7 Just going to have to get myself together for next week.

    Week 2 Goal: 173.7
    Week 2 actual weight: 174.7

    Day 15-04/24—176.1 Okay, so I blacked out and when I came to, I had eaten a full meal from Arby’s. in itself it wasn’t too bad calorie-wise, but sodium-wise it was devastating. Going out to play trivia at a local tavern and will get a moderate bowl – but still regretting last night.
    Day 16-04/25—174.7 Better today.
    Day 17-04/26—174.8
    Day 18-04/27—174.1 Tasty dinner tonight – grilled chicken and roasted veggies. Mmm.
    Day 19-04/28—174.1
    Day 20-04/29—173.2
    Day 21-04/30—174.2

    Week 3 Goal: 171.7
    Week 3 actual weight:174.2

    Day 22-05/01—173.8 Last night went out to Texas Roadhouse and had a semi-decadent dinner (ate bread and a full-fat side Caesar salad, but had the grilled chicken as a main). Going to try to be better today.
    Day 23-05/02—173.0
    Day 24-05/03—172.6 So doing a better job of limiting calories at the end of the night. It’s really hard but it’s working thus far. Weekend ahead will be a real test though. Snacking is a problem. A real, real problem. Let’s see… What is my work? my work is not eating when i'm not hungry. Can that be a thing? a double negative? it's really my failing - i eat because things taste good. kind of the WORST reason to eat!
    Day 25-05/04—171.8 At heart I’m a glutton, which is why I’m the size I am. I’ll be sitting around, and all of a sudden, I’ll think – “You know what’d be great right now? Buttered popcorn”. Or in the grocery store, passing the deli section, thinking “I know those wings taste pretty good; maybe grab a few for the drive home.” Even though wings are definitely not on my shopping list. It’s an ongoing struggle. Trying to find healthy things that also taste good – or stopping eating at a reasonable point – is a real challenge!
    Day 26-05/05—172.5
    Day 27-05/06—171.6
    Day 28-05/07—172.4 Long day today and frustrating wobbling around this weight. Hopefully next week helps see me shake it off. Have plans to go out for Mexican food for dinner so going to try to rein it in and be controlled – no chips/salsa, moderate main, no alcohol. That’s the plan, let’s see how it goes! I’ll report back in tomorrow. 😊

    Week 4 Goal: 172.7
    Week 4 actual weight: 172.4

    Day 29-05/08—172.4 Okay, mixed success at the Mexican restaurant yesterday. Did do some grazing on chips and salsa but had a fairly responsible main (grilled chicken/chipotle sauce, black beans). It was a ton of sodium, though, which is why I think the scale did what it did.
    Day 30-05/09—172.4 And hit a plateau. Got to try to get off this level but it will be hard with a couple nice meals ahead with my mom and my mother-in-law this weekend. Have to stay focused and not just go bonkers on carbs!
    Day 31-05/10—172.7 Damnit. When I wanted to move off the plateau I didn’t mean in this direction.
    Day 32-05/11—172.5 Happy Mother’s Day! I’ll be happy if I come out of this weekend without having gained weight – with two big meals with the two families… it’s a lot of eating!
    Day 33-05/12—172.3 Okay, no weight gain. I’ll take it.
    Day 34-05/13—173.4 There’s the weight gain. Was waiting for that. I did eat quite a bit this weekend. And a lot of sodium for dinner last night. This week is going to be a rough one. Going to have to adjust all my goals…
    Day 35-05/14—173.0

    Week 5 Goal: 170.7
    Week 5 actual weight: 173.0

    Day 36-05/15—173.0
    Day 37-05/16—171.0 yesterday had a horrible migraine. The nausea was so bad that I got super dehydrated and barely ate anything. So I think this dip is completely artificial. Still feel awful today. Bleh.
    Day 38-05/17—170.9 slowly getting better from this migraine. Still very nauseated. Just trying to take it easy.
    Day 39-05/18—170.7 had a lovely piece of salmon for dinner tonight. Mmm.
    Day 40-05/19—170.7 Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I’ve been doing some work, so lots of computer time (just like during the week). While I’ve been super productive, it’s been a bit on the sedentary side. Josh and I have a vacation coming up – we’re going to Reno. We’re going to spend our days out in nature, hiking, and our nights at the casinos. I’m really looking forward to it. Is it weird to pack a scale to bring on vacation? I mean I’ll have space in my checked luggage. But maybe a few days of “DNW” won’t hurt me either. I’ll have to mull this one over. My goal is to not gain weight during the vacation. I’m under no illusions – I am not going to lose any. But not gaining would be nice, given the drinking and decadent food options there will (presumably) be.
    Day 41-05/20—170.9 okay was a tad irresponsible last night with the pizza dinner but at least kept servings reasonable. So there was that? It’s also my birthday week so there’s going to be more eating out and lots of temptation. Wish me luck! And I'm definitely going to consider taking the scale on vacation. it may help to "keep me honest". :-)

    Day 43--05/22—170.0 Late night meeting for work today. Bleh.
    Day 44—05/23—169.4 It’s my Birthday! I turned 45 today 😊 We’re going out for celebratory dinner… hopefully will hold it together.
    Day 45—05/24—168.7 Had a lovely day yesterday! Now we’re getting ready for our vacation next week. Will be travelling to Reno for gambling and nature. 😊
    Day 46—05/25—167.9 Start of my vacation! We don’t leave until Tuesday, so plenty of time to pack and prepare. And rest! It’s nice to have time to relax around the house.
    Day 47—05/26—168.5
    Day 48—05/27—167.5 Okay, I decided I’m not packing my scale for the vacation as that’d be more stressful than relaxing (plus my scale is very heavy). So I’ve got a few DNW days coming up. My plan is to enjoy myself moderately – not go crazy overboard but not be too restrictive either. We’re going to be getting some exercise while birding, and if we don’t get enough, we’ll continue our daily walks. Reno’s supposed to have some great parks and a nice riverfront. I’m really looking forward to the change in environment.
    Day 49—05/28—167.4 Vacation day! Our flight leaves this evening.

    Day 65—06/13—164.1 Hi folks! I hope you’re doing well. Having a hard time focusing on work these days… but at least it’s Friday tomorrow 😊
    Day 66—06/14—165.0 Yikes! Not sure where that came from but going to keep with the plan.
    Day 67--06/15—164.5 Happy Saturday, folks! So glad it’s the weekend for some rest and relaxation. We’re walking earlier and earlier these days due to the heat and humidity – it’s pretty darn hot here in North Carolina – but it’s nice to get the exercise out of the way earlier. Feels like we accomplished something! My doctor says I need to incorporate heavier exercise in, and I realized how much of a weakling I was when I tried to lift my 40 pound luggage, so I’m going to try to incorporate weights into the routine. I do have a free membership at a gym and all. Just have not made it in “lately”.
    Day 68—06/16—163.7 Okay so it’s been an eating-based weekend. Had dinner with my parents yesterday, and going to have lunch with Josh’s parents today. I did pretty well at dinner but still ate more than I could have. Going to try to keep it under control for today…
    Day 69—06/17—163.9 well, I’m glad I didn’t go up more than I did. All the food-related visits this weekend was sure to catch up to me. It’s going to be a very stressful week – I have so many important meetings for work – so I’m not looking forward to it at all.

    Day 72—06/20—162.4 This work week is killing me. Just so much to do.
    Day 73—06/21—162.8 Happy Friday y’all! About darn time. Have to do some work this weekend but still looking forward to the relaxation and relative rest. It’s supposed to be record-breaking levels of hot this weekend, so will have to go exercise early in the day.
    Day 74—06/22—161.7 Okay so spent most of today working. And there’s more to do tomorrow. But at least I can relax a little for the rest of the day. Have to decide what to make for dinner tonight.
    Day 75—06/23—162.6 had a “snacking” day yesterday which resulted in the gain. Have to try to control myself. I guess that’s what happens when you go grocery shopping while hungry. One another note, going to try picking up watercoloring again. May start with a “paint by numbers” kit to ease into the experience.
    Day 76—06/24—162.6 lilylady3K OMG I am so inspired to pick up painting back up! I love the calendar with the thumbnails of your projects (that vase of daisies is on point!).

    My goal is to be proud of my weight loss.

    Day 01 80.1 kg, I did my planned exercise but I overate a little bit (I'm tracking my intake), since I started tracking I've eaten out 4 times and I need to compensate for those times. I read "most people who lose weight will regain it within 5 years", I checked my old numbers and I'm 3.5 kg under what I weighed 5 years ago. I guess I'm in that category. I talked to my partner about my weight loss (something I'm trying to do less often).
    Day 02 80.0 kg, I ate below my ideal which should help me recover from previous overeating. I did my exercise sessions.
    Day 03 80.1 kg my eating is on track for the last 3 days but I need to recover from the previous 9 which averaged too high. I exercised and that's on track too. Disappointed that the scale is headed in the wrong direction but...
    Day 04 79.4 kg a big loss today. I did a lot of walking, I had sugary food for the first time in 8 days. I overate. Recently there have been 6 days when I overate a lot, I had sugary food 5 times. Coincidence?
    Day 05 79.8 kg just a normal day where I am good, no overeating and exercising is as required
    Day 06 80.4 kg I started two personal challenges, I had some sugary food because I won't be having sugary food for a while, so on Tuesday I gained...
    Day 07 80.6 kg my eating and exercise went well, still need to recover from the overeating episodes, maybe in 2-3 days that will happen
    Day 08 80.4 kg I had some treats and food I don't usually have, that's a negative, on the plus side I'm still exercising as I intended
    Day 09 80.3 kg I have a cold so I only managed half my exercise today, that's fine, eating was good.
    Day 10 80.2 kg another day when I ate properly, two days in a row, plus two exercise sessions.
    Day 11 79.7 kg a good day in terms of exercise and eating
    Day 12 78.7 kg I don't see a 1 kg loss very often, anyway I overate again, although my exercise was as planned
    Day 13 79.3 kg Another good day, exercise and diet were good. I've decided to attempt to lose 10 kg in 100 days - so this will move over to the next round. Starting tomorrow.
    Day 14 79.4 kg I ran the numbers to see whether I could lose 10 kg in 100 days and it seems iffy, however I'm not particularly hungry as I lose weight, so I guess I should just eat less. I overate and did my required amount of exercise. I looked at my intake graph and since day 1 there's been 7 days when I've overeaten.
    Day 15 79.7 kg I ate a bit too much and my exercise was less than required. 10 kg in 100 days: 10.3 kg to lose in 99 days. Can I do it? Probably.
    Day 16 79.6 kg I ate too much but my exercise was alright. I've decided to delay the 10 kg in 100 days idea until my weight loss 'settles down'
    Day 17 79.5 kg ate too much and didn't exercise at my desired level
    Day 18 80.4 kg whoa how did that happen? Maybe eating too much?
    Day 19 79.7 kg ate too much, exercise average is okay
    Day 20 79.9 kg
    Day 21 80.0 kg I'm now starting the lose 10 kg in 100 days challenge. Can I do it? Probably.
    Day 22 80.6 kg moderate gain but I'm not too concerned. 10.6 kg in 99 days? Probably.
    Day 23 80.4 kg, things are looking good in terms of eating. 10.4 kg in 98 days? Probably.
    Day 24 80.0 kg, I'm eating too much, 0.1 kg lost in 23 days. Anyway, 10.0 kg in 97 days? Probably.
    Day 25 80.1 kg, eating seems to be under control right now, 30 day weight average has dropped for 3 days in a row (personal best 118 days), 10.1 kg in 96 days? Probably
    Day 26 80.0 kg, eating under control 2 days, 10.0 kg in 95 days? Probably.
    Day 27 79.6 kg, 9.6 kg in 94 days? Probably
    Day 28 79.2 kg, 9.2 kg in 93 days? Graph says yes
    Day 29 79.5 kg, 9.5 kg in 92 days? Graph says yes
    Day 30 78.9 kg, I have food poisoning of some sort, I've lost my appetite and so my weight is dropping, when I start eating properly again I expect to gain a bit. Anyway, 10 kg in 100 days challenge looks good right now
    Day 31 78.1 kg, another major loss, this is going to ruin my 10 day average since it will increase when I recover, I want to beat my personal best of about 20 days of continuous losing
    Day 32 77.7 kg
    Day 33 77.5 kg, I've decided to pause the lose 10 kg in 100 days challenge, there are digestive problems and there's a heatwave where I'm living so I'm just not up to exercise right now
    Day 34 77.2 kg
    Day 35 77.4 kg
    Day 36 77.6 kg
    Day 37 77.5 kg
    Day 38 77.2 kg
    Day 39 77.5 kg
    Day 40 77.8 kg

    Day 52 76.9 kg
    Day 53 77.5 kg
    Day 54 77.5 kg
    Day 55 78.5 kg
    Day 56 77.9 kg
    Day 57 77.7 kg So my recent health problem caused me to stop losing weight, I think it's time to start again. I've decided to give myself a challenge - lose 9.7 kg in 97 days. If it's working at the end maybe I'll add an extra 3 days and see if I can do 10 kg in 100 days. Unfortunately my health has not fully recovered so I may need a diagnosis. If that happens I'll stop the challenge. So starting today, I'm aiming to lose weight again. 9.7 kg in 97 days? I probably can do that.
    Day 58 77.6 kg
    Day 59 77.7 kg lose 9.7 kg in 95 days? Probably
    Day 60 77.3 kg, lose 9.3 kg in 94 days? Probably, although I haven't started exercising, I want to have an exercise session this evening, first session in about 2-3 weeks
    Day 61 77.0 kg
    Day 62 76.6 kg so I haven't started exercising yet, so I'll do the weight loss challenge on the day when I start exercising. Whenever that is.

    100 day Challenge 4/10/24–7/17/24 **Do it for Mobility**

    Day / Weight Daily Weigh In / Trend Weight / Comments report day of activity
    4/10-4/29: DNW - Vacation France, Canary Islands, Morocco, Spain
    5/2: 234
    5/4: 234.1
    5/5:234.7
    5/6: 236
    5/8: 234.2
    5/10:233.4
    5/12: 233.4
    5/15:233.2
    5/25: 233.2
    5/27: 232.4
    5/28: 231.4

    6/12: 231.7
    Decided to start with baby steps focusing on drinking more water this week along with getting back into better consistent exercise.
    6/22: 232.9 / 231.9 - Waist 41”, Bike 25 min, 72oz water
    Start tracking every single bite!
    6/23: 231.9 / 231.6 - Walk .5 mile, Bike 25 min, garden 30 min, 64 oz water, Journaled

    My weekly weigh in is on Mondays. Setting my goals for this week.
    <230
    Bike 3x 25 min
    Strong & Fit 2x
    Water 72+ oz daily
    Journal every bite daily


    Day: Weight Daily Weigh In / Trend Weight over 14 days - Comments report day of activity
    6/24: 230.1 / 231.2 - Strong & Fit 1 hr, garden 15 min, 80 oz water, journaled
    6/25: 230.2 /230.8 - Bike 25, 80 oz water, journaled. Received the lab reports from my physical and mammogram. All is clear. “Just” need to lose weight!
    Broke through that 230 barrier that has haunted me in 2024. The last time I saw 229 on the scale was Dec 2023. My BETTER habits are coming back to me and I'm losing!
    6/26: 229.1 / 230.3 - Bike 25, 72-80 oz water, journaled.
    6/27: 229.2 / 230.0
    Using Happy Scale to track my daily weigh in and view my trend. The 14 day moving average provides me a little better understanding that even when the number on the scale goes up that I’m moving in the right direction.
    6/28: 292.2 - No exercise day, 80 oz water, journaled. My plan is to exercise 5 out of 7 days but then again if I had hopped on the bike or some other sort of activity I would have been in the green instead of red for 180 calories. Maybe days when I’m eating at a restaurant should be the day without exercise. I’ll have to monitor this in the future.

    Pool Day with the grandkids. I have access to 10 different pools in my home owners assoc. We are taking the kids age 2 and 2.5 to the pool for under 8 yrs old in the morning and then the waterpark w/ slides and lazy river in the afternoon. Both sets of families are staying for a steak dinner.

    Hi!
    I am Dawn. 63, 5'2"
    I have been at this tracking for quite awhile, on this particular thread for 15 out of the 19 iterations of it.
    I lost quite a bit (got to 130), but have been slowly gaining weight over the past 2 years despite my efforts.
    Highest weight was 207. Began on this thread at 198 pounds

    Week 1 Goal: 145.6 - My start weight from the last 100. Plunking this in each week until I hit it.
    Week 1 actual weight: 147.2 - started the week at 146.8

    Week 2 Goal: 145.6 - My start weight from the last 100. Plunking this in each week until I hit it and then go from there.
    Week 2 actual weight: 146.2 - Started the week at 148.0 - Hit my goal once

    Week 3 Goal: 145.6 - My start weight from the last 100. Plunking this in each week until I hit it and then go from there. Hit it one time during week 2. Hit below it this week
    Week 3 actual weight: 146.4

    Week 4 Goal: 145.6. My start weight from the last 100. Plunking this in each week until I hit it and then go from there.
    Week 4 actual weight: 147.6

    Week 5 Goal: stopping smoking week as of May 7
    Week 5 actual weight: 149.6

    Week 6 Goal: Didn't set one
    Week 6 actual weight: 151.0 - extremely early weigh in, so it might be inflated

    Week 7 Goal: Just to enjoy my time at the all-inclusive Cancun
    Week 7 actual weight: I was away, no scale. Started the week at 149.4

    Week 8 Goal: Just to enjoy my time at the all-inclusive Cancun
    Week 8 actual weight: Away with no scale, but started smoking upon arrival at the front entrance where everyone was smoking.

    Week 9 Goal: 146.8 - putting this in each week until I get back to my start weight of this 100
    Week 9 actual weight: 149.2 Started the week at 151.0

    Week 10 Goal: 146.8 - putting this in each week until I get back to my start weight of this 100
    Week 10 actual weight: 147.4 - Started the week at 149.0

    Week 11 goal: 146.8 - putting this in each week until I get back to my start weight of this 100
    Week 11 actual weight: 147.2 - Started the week at 148.2

    Day 78-06/25 - 147.2 - Really enjoyed my day off working in my garden in the sun. I only get 2 days out of the week to try to bring back my tan from Cancun. I guess that most people are in the same boat, working during the day during the tanning rays. So I had a thing happen last night that has happened to me a handful of times in the past. I made a nice healthy dinner, ate about half of it and then I had an overwhelming exhaustion while sitting on the love seat watching HGTV. I fell into a deep sleep for 2 hours from 7pm-9pm. Yes, I was out in the sun most of the day. The last time this happened I wasn't. Neither time did I eat very much. Food coma?

    Day 79-06/26 - 147.2 - Always happy to not see a gain. I very seldom am the same weight 2 days in a row, I am usually all over the place.

    Day 80-06/27 - 147.2 - Okay. Going through some old photos because my Google photos is getting full and I had to delete. Definitely look much better at 130, didn't have ankle/knee issues.

    Day 81-06/28 -

    Day 82-06/29 -

    Day 83-06/30 -

    Day 84-07/01 -

    Week 12 Goal: 146.8 - putting this in each week until I get back to my start weight of this 100

    Thoughts:

    Last round I had my normal goal of a 12 pound loss which is approximately 4 lbs per month. That comes to about 90 days leaving the other 10 open for special holidays and social occasions. In theory, it’s a good plan. In practice it is a Mountain to Crawl up. However, 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.



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

    Day 78-06/26-186.4-(Trend weight 186.1)

    Day 79-06/27-186.6-(Trend weight 186.3) It was a very good day of meal planning and eating. But a very bad night of binge and I don’t just mean the TV. The madness has got to stop. My reno crew is not coming today and I’m already stir crazy. I may head out-of-town for any shopping I need and maybe do a little resale-ing. Lots of projects I need to do around here too though so we’ll see. I looked up what I weighed on this day last year. It feels like I’ve gotten nowhere but records show I am down nearly 12 pounds. That’s not much for an entire year of working so hard at logging, prep cooking and often (not often enough?) going without the foods I love. In fact, many people can lose that in just 4-6 weeks on MFP. But it’s nothing for an old gal like me to sneeze at either. Keep going Donna. Progress is just around the bend.

    Day 80-06/28-186.4-(Trend weight 186.4) Jeepers Creepers it sure goes on faster than it comes off. As usual after a substantial gain I am “mixing things up” to get things moving. Changing type of exercise/rotating, completely adding in different foods I don’t use much, using the zig-zag plan where my calories and carbs are all mixed up to surprise my body, changing what times I eat, increasing water over coffee, Intermittent Fasting (some days) so my body never knows what to expect etc. etc. It will all pay off but it takes a bit of time. Today was no-weigh Friday but I weighed and forgot to take the once-per-week Fosamax for my Osteopenia that usually screws up my Friday schedule. I’ll take it tomorrow instead so I may not weigh tomorrow. Woke up today and mixed it up by doing a 15 minute aerobic video (something I don’t do often in the morning due to needing my coffee so badly). I fasted a little later than yesterday but ate a small side with my lunchtime sandwich will increase the calories for the day for sure so I will be zig-zagging to the higher end allowed. Is it science or is it a game? A little of both I think.

    Hi Folks! My name's Darin, and I'm a 45 year old woman from Holly Springs, North Carolina, USA. I've done a past 100 days challenge before and did really well with it (then regained the weight) so wanted to rejoin and try again.
    Starting weight: 176.7
    Day 01-04/10—176.7
    Day 02-04/11—176
    Day 03-04/12—175.2
    Day 04-04/13—174.6 Went to get a mani/pedi today which was lovely. Made a terrific seared salmon for dinner with baked potato and am stopping eating right now! No more eating. That’s it. or drinking. Let’s see how it goes.
    Day 05-04/14—174.3 Succeeded with the no more eating last night. Also succeeded at moderation at an all-you-can eat buffet today (a ton of fresh vegetables and some fruit as well). Thus far the making good decisions is going well. But I think this downward trend is going to stop soon – I’ve lost all the water weight I’m going to lose. So now the work starts for real.
    Day 06-04/15—173.9 Work kicked my butt today. Thankfully Josh and I walked this morning so don’t have to try to exercise right now. Just have to try not to stress-eat the entire fridge and pantry…
    Day 07-04/16—174.2 Slight uptick but still met my goal weight so there’s that. Tough migraine day – had to take part of the day off from work today for bed rest. UGH.

    Week 1 Goal: 174.7
    Week 1 actual weight:174.2

    Day 08-04/17—175.2 another partial day at work today due to migraine, and I’m retaining water. Blergh. Between the two not feeling great. At least got out and walked, and I meditated today. That’s something.
    Day 09-04/18—175.2 migraine’s eased up and have stabilized with the weight. Now hopefully start to see a downward trend? Meditated again and was very moderate with lunch and breakfast. Will try to maintain for dinner.
    Day 10-04/19—175.2
    Day 11-04/20—174.7 I’m trying to be kind to myself with having felt so bad this week. I did have a ”woke myself up laughing” moment that I’m sure you’ll appreciate… I dreamt that I had gone into the office and was looking at a menu to pick out lunch. You know you’re counting calories IRL when your pick’s a clam chowder bread bowl with a bloomin’ onion topper!
    Day 12-04/21—173.9 went to a cheeseburger party yesterday and did well with moderation (just one burger, limited sides, didn’t go bananas when in front of the potato chips although could have. Then came home and didn’t continue eating because I wasn’t hungry. Victory!
    Day 13-04/22—174.4 another rough migraine day today.
    Day 14-04/23—174.7 Just going to have to get myself together for next week.

    Week 2 Goal: 173.7
    Week 2 actual weight: 174.7

    Day 15-04/24—176.1 Okay, so I blacked out and when I came to, I had eaten a full meal from Arby’s. in itself it wasn’t too bad calorie-wise, but sodium-wise it was devastating. Going out to play trivia at a local tavern and will get a moderate bowl – but still regretting last night.
    Day 16-04/25—174.7 Better today.
    Day 17-04/26—174.8
    Day 18-04/27—174.1 Tasty dinner tonight – grilled chicken and roasted veggies. Mmm.
    Day 19-04/28—174.1
    Day 20-04/29—173.2
    Day 21-04/30—174.2

    Week 3 Goal: 171.7
    Week 3 actual weight:174.2

    Day 22-05/01—173.8 Last night went out to Texas Roadhouse and had a semi-decadent dinner (ate bread and a full-fat side Caesar salad, but had the grilled chicken as a main). Going to try to be better today.
    Day 23-05/02—173.0
    Day 24-05/03—172.6 So doing a better job of limiting calories at the end of the night. It’s really hard but it’s working thus far. Weekend ahead will be a real test though. Snacking is a problem. A real, real problem. Let’s see… What is my work? my work is not eating when i'm not hungry. Can that be a thing? a double negative? it's really my failing - i eat because things taste good. kind of the WORST reason to eat!
    Day 25-05/04—171.8 At heart I’m a glutton, which is why I’m the size I am. I’ll be sitting around, and all of a sudden, I’ll think – “You know what’d be great right now? Buttered popcorn”. Or in the grocery store, passing the deli section, thinking “I know those wings taste pretty good; maybe grab a few for the drive home.” Even though wings are definitely not on my shopping list. It’s an ongoing struggle. Trying to find healthy things that also taste good – or stopping eating at a reasonable point – is a real challenge!
    Day 26-05/05—172.5
    Day 27-05/06—171.6
    Day 28-05/07—172.4 Long day today and frustrating wobbling around this weight. Hopefully next week helps see me shake it off. Have plans to go out for Mexican food for dinner so going to try to rein it in and be controlled – no chips/salsa, moderate main, no alcohol. That’s the plan, let’s see how it goes! I’ll report back in tomorrow. 😊

    Week 4 Goal: 172.7
    Week 4 actual weight: 172.4

    Day 29-05/08—172.4 Okay, mixed success at the Mexican restaurant yesterday. Did do some grazing on chips and salsa but had a fairly responsible main (grilled chicken/chipotle sauce, black beans). It was a ton of sodium, though, which is why I think the scale did what it did.
    Day 30-05/09—172.4 And hit a plateau. Got to try to get off this level but it will be hard with a couple nice meals ahead with my mom and my mother-in-law this weekend. Have to stay focused and not just go bonkers on carbs!
    Day 31-05/10—172.7 Damnit. When I wanted to move off the plateau I didn’t mean in this direction.
    Day 32-05/11—172.5 Happy Mother’s Day! I’ll be happy if I come out of this weekend without having gained weight – with two big meals with the two families… it’s a lot of eating!
    Day 33-05/12—172.3 Okay, no weight gain. I’ll take it.
    Day 34-05/13—173.4 There’s the weight gain. Was waiting for that. I did eat quite a bit this weekend. And a lot of sodium for dinner last night. This week is going to be a rough one. Going to have to adjust all my goals…
    Day 35-05/14—173.0

    Week 5 Goal: 170.7
    Week 5 actual weight: 173.0

    Day 36-05/15—173.0
    Day 37-05/16—171.0 yesterday had a horrible migraine. The nausea was so bad that I got super dehydrated and barely ate anything. So I think this dip is completely artificial. Still feel awful today. Bleh.
    Day 38-05/17—170.9 slowly getting better from this migraine. Still very nauseated. Just trying to take it easy.
    Day 39-05/18—170.7 had a lovely piece of salmon for dinner tonight. Mmm.
    Day 40-05/19—170.7 Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I’ve been doing some work, so lots of computer time (just like during the week). While I’ve been super productive, it’s been a bit on the sedentary side. Josh and I have a vacation coming up – we’re going to Reno. We’re going to spend our days out in nature, hiking, and our nights at the casinos. I’m really looking forward to it. Is it weird to pack a scale to bring on vacation? I mean I’ll have space in my checked luggage. But maybe a few days of “DNW” won’t hurt me either. I’ll have to mull this one over. My goal is to not gain weight during the vacation. I’m under no illusions – I am not going to lose any. But not gaining would be nice, given the drinking and decadent food options there will (presumably) be.
    Day 41-05/20—170.9 okay was a tad irresponsible last night with the pizza dinner but at least kept servings reasonable. So there was that? It’s also my birthday week so there’s going to be more eating out and lots of temptation. Wish me luck! And I'm definitely going to consider taking the scale on vacation. it may help to "keep me honest". :-)

    Day 44—05/23—169.4 It’s my Birthday! I turned 45 today 😊 We’re going out for celebratory dinner… hopefully will hold it together.
    Day 45—05/24—168.7 Had a lovely day yesterday! Now we’re getting ready for our vacation next week. Will be travelling to Reno for gambling and nature. 😊
    Day 46—05/25—167.9 Start of my vacation! We don’t leave until Tuesday, so plenty of time to pack and prepare. And rest! It’s nice to have time to relax around the house.
    Day 47—05/26—168.5
    Day 48—05/27—167.5 Okay, I decided I’m not packing my scale for the vacation as that’d be more stressful than relaxing (plus my scale is very heavy). So I’ve got a few DNW days coming up. My plan is to enjoy myself moderately – not go crazy overboard but not be too restrictive either. We’re going to be getting some exercise while birding, and if we don’t get enough, we’ll continue our daily walks. Reno’s supposed to have some great parks and a nice riverfront. I’m really looking forward to the change in environment.
    Day 49—05/28—167.4 Vacation day! Our flight leaves this evening.

    Day 66—06/14—165.0 Yikes! Not sure where that came from but going to keep with the plan.
    Day 67--06/15—164.5 Happy Saturday, folks! So glad it’s the weekend for some rest and relaxation. We’re walking earlier and earlier these days due to the heat and humidity – it’s pretty darn hot here in North Carolina – but it’s nice to get the exercise out of the way earlier. Feels like we accomplished something! My doctor says I need to incorporate heavier exercise in, and I realized how much of a weakling I was when I tried to lift my 40 pound luggage, so I’m going to try to incorporate weights into the routine. I do have a free membership at a gym and all. Just have not made it in “lately”.
    Day 68—06/16—163.7 Okay so it’s been an eating-based weekend. Had dinner with my parents yesterday, and going to have lunch with Josh’s parents today. I did pretty well at dinner but still ate more than I could have. Going to try to keep it under control for today…
    Day 69—06/17—163.9 well, I’m glad I didn’t go up more than I did. All the food-related visits this weekend was sure to catch up to me. It’s going to be a very stressful week – I have so many important meetings for work – so I’m not looking forward to it at all.

    Day 73—06/21—162.8 Happy Friday y’all! About darn time. Have to do some work this weekend but still looking forward to the relaxation and relative rest. It’s supposed to be record-breaking levels of hot this weekend, so will have to go exercise early in the day.
    Day 74—06/22—161.7 Okay so spent most of today working. And there’s more to do tomorrow. But at least I can relax a little for the rest of the day. Have to decide what to make for dinner tonight.
    Day 75—06/23—162.6 had a “snacking” day yesterday which resulted in the gain. Have to try to control myself. I guess that’s what happens when you go grocery shopping while hungry. One another note, going to try picking up watercoloring again. May start with a “paint by numbers” kit to ease into the experience.
    Day 76—06/24—162.6 lilylady3K OMG I am so inspired to pick up painting back up! I love the calendar with the thumbnails of your projects (that vase of daisies is on point!).

I have a paint-by-numbers kit coming at some point, which I’m very excited about!
