@deepwoodslady: I feel your pain and frustration- and this foot swelling has made it even worse, and must be very scary for you. But you've had amazing success and taken enormous (and inspiring) strides to better health, and you keep working at it. I admire your perseverance!
I would never presume to tell you what diet is correct for you, and what works for you may also change as you move along. It's easy to suggest that you not get discouraged, but for sure that doesn't help.
It is true that most Drs are not versed in nutrition; I don't know if you have access to a licensed nutritionist who can cut through a lot of the fads and gimmicks. I've worked with one for the last 6 months after years of struggling with symptoms and it's worked miracles for me; I have both HBP and diverticulitis and after working with her I'm learning to manage both with the appropriate diet.
Perhaps there's a nutrition and wellness site or center that you can access remotely for some good advice? Also, some PCPs now have access to or information about nutritionists. Not sure this is relevant, but for diabetes and renal conditions a nutritionist is usually covered by insurance.
I hope you feel better and hope you can find answers soon!! I love reading your posts, you always inspire me!4 -

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.

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.
Day 08-04/17-182.8-(Trend weight 182.0) I am still creeping up. Could it be stress? It just feels like sheer unadulterated and constant hunger. I am choosing the same meals I always do but they no longer satisfy. I’m lost. Foot is a little better but swells back up easily with the least amount of overdoing it. Today I travel to the new eye doctor. Diabetic testing and new glasses. It will be nice to be able to see again. It took me a minute to find a doctor who takes my vision insurance. Of course there is no eye doctor in our little rural town. Dinner and shopping afterward. The scale will not be my friend this week. I just have to try not to tick it off too very much.
Day 09-04/18-DNW-(Trend weight DNW)Leaving this morning for the Cancer Center. I’ll probably take a couple of days off weighing until I can get back on this journey with some normal diet and exercise. Eating my meals in restaurants, getting no exercise or movement and doing nothing but sitting is not part of my journey. I’ll post numbers when they better reflect my efforts or my disregards, not my stuck-withs. I’ll keep up with reading the posts as best as I can. I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty scared and shaken up about this re-check. I’ve been through a lot these last couple of years and all of this is not normal par for the course. I’ve had 3 scares before with a few years in-between each. All 3 times was cancer or pre-cancerous. I am trying to stay hopeful.

******************2 -
Day 08-04/17: 171.2 – Started a new job on Monday so have been a little stressed, but I’m feeling more settled now so was able to do a longer workout & stretch today which felt AMAZING. I love the alternating cardio/strength workouts, they are my absolute favorite! I have settled on a pair of shoes for the wedding we’re going to in August, and am kind of psyched because it’s a much higher heel than I normally wear but it’s the Naturalizer brand – so it’s stealthily comfortable! The arch support hits me just right which is imperative for my plantar fasciitis. My husband will be less thrilled because I’ll be taller than him, but that’s the price he pays for being with a hottie, ha ha!jennysweet58 wrote: »Back for Round 3 for me! Hi, I’m Jenny – 59 years old, 5’6”, and reached my goal of 175 pounds during the last challenge. I’d like to give myself a little buffer so that even if I have a little gain on vacation I won’t go above 175 ever again! So am looking to whittle down another 5-8 pounds.
ENDING WEIGHT FROM LAST CHALLENGE: 173.2Day 01-04/10: 172.6 - Nice to see a drop already! I’ve been feeling a little hungrier than usual the past couple of days so I feel like my body is trying to nudge me back up. I ain’t goin’, so give it up bod! I am in charge!! Have been diligent with workouts the past few days too, so feeling good all-around!
Day 02-04/11: DNW – super stressful day at work, started at 5am and never stopped…no workout
Day 03-04/12: 171.0 – Ok I have a feeling there will be a correction next week, but I’ll take it!! It’s just so exciting to see numbers on the scale I haven’t seen in literally a decade! There’s a wedding we’re going to in August where the bride has requested everyone wear “sea glass colors” so I’ve been on the hunt for a dress and shoes – and I’m just so busy I usually try to order a few things online from a store I can return them to near me (so I’m not stuck with return shipping charges) , and the same with shoes…I can’t tell you how exciting it is to have dresses show up, try them on and they not only fit well but look fantastic !! Or if they don’t, it’s just because the style or color doesn’t suit me, not because I can’t zip the damn thing up. I used to call it feeling “struttable”, a made-up word I haven’t used in a VERY long time – but a pair of shoes showed up yesterday and I was strutting around feeling pretty hot for an old broad!! I hope nobody minds but I end my weigh-in weeks on Fridays, so will adjust my weekly dates. I’m just so damn happy and proud of myself!
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN: 2.2 pounds lost

Day 09-04/18: 171.2- It’s so rare for me to weigh exactly the same two days in a row – but it’s all good. Got up extra early to get a jump on work stuff, but just did a quick 20 min BG tabata cardio & 15 min yoga stretch.

Hi, I’m Elise. I’m 62 and 5’5” . I live in Southeast Michigan.
This week we celebrated my husband’s birthday and I made him a most delicious carrot cake that I had too much of. We’ve also ate out quite a bit. I’m restarting again today and trying to be honest with myself. I lose weight when I exercise and eat right. I gain weight when I don’t. I’m going to bust out my Skinnytaste cookbooks, and walk with my grandkids today at Greenfield Village.

@deepwoodslady - I am so sorry for what you're going through. I had a lumpectomy 10 years ago and still live in fear with every mammogram, so I can imagine how stressful this must be for you. Take care of your mental health and your stress as best you can, that's the most important thing right now. Sending {{{HUGS}}}} and hoping all turns out ok.

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
Day 08-Wednesday 04/17 - 148.0 - Still nothing on the new job, swung by there after 2nd job of the day, but it is not open yet so they didn't start without me. If I don't get that job I will start looking around for something when I get back from Cancun in June.
Day 09-04/18 - 148.4 - Champagne and Camembert. Uptick, but kind of worth it. Only one job, so got out for a really nice walk despite my very sore knee. X-rays showed arthritis in it. Looking at exercises to strengthen the muscles around it. Having said that, a couple of days of only one job per day usually relieves it. Ice packs do wonders in the evening. Even though the weather has turned cold, I got 7 rows of peas in after my walk. A friend helped me turn it all over and remove the weeds last week to make it ready for planting. It is around 25 feet long. Just one job today, so I expect to get a few more seeds in.

Hi Folks! My name's Darin, and I'm an almost-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.
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.

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.

Hi, I’m Elise. I’m 62 and 5’5” . I live in Southeast Michigan.
This week we celebrated my husband’s birthday and I made him a most delicious carrot cake that I had too much of. We’ve also ate out quite a bit. I’m restarting again today and trying to be honest with myself. I lose weight when I exercise and eat right. I gain weight when I don’t. I’m going to bust out my Skinnytaste cookbooks, and walk with my grandkids today at Greenfield Village.

Day 09-04/18-- 156.4 Yesterday: up at 4:00 AM for work. I only had coffee until 4:00 PM. This was not a planned fast it was due to being so busy and stressed at work. Got home with pizza in hand around 7:00ish “for my husband” and ate 2 pretty big slices, chips, 1/2 a bottle of soda then walked 2 miles with the dog but finished off the night with a piece of cake. 🫤 I’m pretty discouraged today. Heading to the market to make some mindful choices. Today is really my day 1.

Day 08-04/17: 171.2 – Started a new job on Monday so have been a little stressed, but I’m feeling more settled now so was able to do a longer workout & stretch today which felt AMAZING. I love the alternating cardio/strength workouts, they are my absolute favorite! I have settled on a pair of shoes for the wedding we’re going to in August, and am kind of psyched because it’s a much higher heel than I normally wear but it’s the Naturalizer brand – so it’s stealthily comfortable! The arch support hits me just right which is imperative for my plantar fasciitis. My husband will be less thrilled because I’ll be taller than him, but that’s the price he pays for being with a hottie, ha ha!jennysweet58 wrote: »Back for Round 3 for me! Hi, I’m Jenny – 59 years old, 5’6”, and reached my goal of 175 pounds during the last challenge. I’d like to give myself a little buffer so that even if I have a little gain on vacation I won’t go above 175 ever again! So am looking to whittle down another 5-8 pounds.
ENDING WEIGHT FROM LAST CHALLENGE: 173.2Day 01-04/10: 172.6 - Nice to see a drop already! I’ve been feeling a little hungrier than usual the past couple of days so I feel like my body is trying to nudge me back up. I ain’t goin’, so give it up bod! I am in charge!! Have been diligent with workouts the past few days too, so feeling good all-around!
Day 02-04/11: DNW – super stressful day at work, started at 5am and never stopped…no workout
Day 03-04/12: 171.0 – Ok I have a feeling there will be a correction next week, but I’ll take it!! It’s just so exciting to see numbers on the scale I haven’t seen in literally a decade! There’s a wedding we’re going to in August where the bride has requested everyone wear “sea glass colors” so I’ve been on the hunt for a dress and shoes – and I’m just so busy I usually try to order a few things online from a store I can return them to near me (so I’m not stuck with return shipping charges) , and the same with shoes…I can’t tell you how exciting it is to have dresses show up, try them on and they not only fit well but look fantastic !! Or if they don’t, it’s just because the style or color doesn’t suit me, not because I can’t zip the damn thing up. I used to call it feeling “struttable”, a made-up word I haven’t used in a VERY long time – but a pair of shoes showed up yesterday and I was strutting around feeling pretty hot for an old broad!! I hope nobody minds but I end my weigh-in weeks on Fridays, so will adjust my weekly dates. I’m just so damn happy and proud of myself!

Day 10-04/19: 169.8 – Holy smokes, it is exciting to see a new decade on the scale! Though I’m traveling next week so I’m sure it will be short-lived, but it’s nice to have that extra buffer! Did a good cardio/weight workout & stretch – happy for Friday!! Today is my last weigh-in for the week, have a wonderful weekend everyone!

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.

Day 09-04/18-DNW-(Trend weight DNW)Leaving this morning for the Cancer Center. I’ll probably take a couple of days off weighing until I can get back on this journey with some normal diet and exercise. Eating my meals in restaurants, getting no exercise or movement and doing nothing but sitting is not part of my journey. I’ll post numbers when they better reflect my efforts or my disregards, not my stuck-withs. I’ll keep up with reading the posts as best as I can. I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty scared and shaken up about this re-check. I’ve been through a lot these last couple of years and all of this is not normal par for the course. I’ve had 3 scares before with a few years in-between each. All 3 times was cancer or pre-cancerous. I am trying to stay hopeful.
Day 10-04/19-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) So I am relieved to say that I’ve “passed the test” so far. Doctor said if there was a 2% or better change in the mammogram findings I would have to come back for a biopsy. I was 1.4% so I’m in the clear for now. However, they will do another diagnostic mammogram (not a screening mammogram) again in 6 months to continue to monitor. I am so completely grateful and feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of me. Except in the hip area. They feel squishy and more “bloated”. A few more days of no weighing for me as I let all the travels melt off me. Oh, wouldn’t it be nice if it were that easy? Thanks again everyone for your kind words of encouragement and your prayers.

I'm focusing on regaining fitness and losing wt so I can achieve my physical goals for this summer; KVR bike 80km, and "do the Grouse Grind" in Vancouver, BC., as well as multiple kayak paddles. I'm a 5'1" active senior from B.C., Canada, who totally believes that boundaries set by ourselves, society and family, are can be pushed. A year after retiring in 2019, although far from being bored, I felt there was “more”. Since then I’ve been working 3 days a week at a local Assisted Living Seniors Home.
Day 01- Wed Apr 10th: 175 30 min on bike; 5# wts aggravated sore shoulder so only 1 set of 12 for 3 movements.
Day 02-04/11 -- 176.4 Insomnia, only slept 4 hrs. finally just got up. Weigh in is skewed b/c already had lg glass of water. 7 hr road trip for appt 3 ½ hrs north.
Day 03-04/12 -- ?? can’t remember. Was early and didn’t write it down. Long 16hr day as we traveled to a funeral, then did a couple of other quick stops. A high carb day as I gave myself permission to have 3 bunwiches during our travels, then a sourdough dinner roll to go with my whiskey to relax down before bed.
Day 04-04/13-- 175.6 Expecting a wt bounce in the next day or two after yesterday’s extreme carb day. Now to totally focus on achieving some wt loss goals so I won’t feel like the old fat lady at the next ‘event’. 😉 I’m okay with that, it was/is what it is, but that doesn’t mean it has to be forever.
Day 05-04/14-- 177 (5:30am), Worked
Day 06-04/15-- 176.8 Worked. Snowing in the evening ☹ **sheesh**
Day 07-04/16—176.2 Just a skiff of snow but more’s falling this morning. Good grief!! Leg muscle seized when getting into car in a.m.; “touchy” all day. Right now the struggle is getting real. Sore, tired, feeling ‘stooped’;
As evening progressed, I reflected on “where I am at right now and Where I Need to get back to”. Dug out old WW “Success Handbook”; Listed 10 strengths; Set a new “Step to Success” goal ~ Food journal, not just recording foods, but using it to plan my next meal or snack.
Day 8, Apr 17th: 174 WW “Success Handbook” reminds me that “Motivation is a circle”. Top of circle is your most highly motivated state. As your drive starts to slip, it moves down and around to the right, like the nands on a clock. At the bottom of the circle is a less motivated state, where you may experience a plateau and start to disengage.
At the 9:00 or 10:00 position, this is an all-out unmotivated state. You may not care what happens anymore. May be gaining weight, losing hope, and perhaps even thinking about ending your wt loss journey. But the point is that even when you are feeling the least motivated, you are never too far from the highly motivated state.
The low point of motivation is very close to the high point, 12:00. That’s because the low point my trigger something – like weight gain, and in my case, pain and discomfort, -- that can kick you right back into the highly motivated state. So those times that you feel the worst are actually helping you get to your goals.
You can move around the circle in either direction; if you sense your motivation sliding down to 3:00, 4:00 etc, you have the power to nudge your motivation back up to the top of the circle.
I’m back at 12:00!!
Remembering that “A football game is won one play at a time, not one long pass and run to the goal line”. It’s like my QB has been badly sacked and “we’re down”. But the game is not over. Time for a new game plan, and to begin a slow march to goal, one play / choice/ day at a time.
Day 9, 18th 174 Was having a rough day trying to over ride cravings. Logged into 'my' WW zoom meeting and all they did was talk about food, food, and more food!! Then conversations went over to those wonderful Splenda and MiO flavorers ( both of which I've stepped away from; actually had a really adverse reaction to using MiO water enhancer last year). Previously meetings have helped but this one just left me upset and dismayed. Remember in-person meetings having the same affect; would walk in to meeting feeling balanced, in control, but then after hearing much conversation about chocolate and desserts, by the end of the meeting I'd kill for a dessert, or two! Did okay thru hubby's BD supper but over indulged in butter tarts. on the plus side, I did 3 sets of weights and some stretching.
Day 10, Friday Apr 19th. 174.2 Goal today is 12 water, <23 WW points, weights, cardio and some stretching. We're invited out for coffee this afternoon but those dastardly mini quiches and sausage rolls, plus an assortement of sweets, plus the butter tarts DH wants to bring, make resisting SO hard. Thinking about not going b/c I need a really clean, on plan day to get these numbers down into the 160's. Clothes aren't fitting well
Week 1 Goal: 172 not going to happen. Would be happy with anything less than 174
Week 1 actual weight:

Donna, so happy for your results! Hope you are now able to relax and enjoy a few days of traveling.
Day 09-04/18-- 156.4 Yesterday: up at 4:00 AM for work. I only had coffee until 4:00 PM. This was not a planned fast it was due to being so busy and stressed at work. Got home with pizza in hand around 7:00ish “for my husband” and ate 2 pretty big slices, chips, 1/2 a bottle of soda then walked 2 miles with the dog but finished off the night with a piece of cake. 🫤 I’m pretty discouraged today. Heading to the market to make some mindful choices. Today is really my day 1.
Neti, I've had many of these days too. WTG with restarting. I got into the butter tarts last nite so today's a Day 1 for me too.
the_Reflex, like how you post positives and negatives. Sooo easy to see only the negatives.
Dawn, was it the job at the Assisted living place that ended? Our nighttime temps are only 1 and 2 degrees right thru to the end of April so no planting for awhile yet. Actually have decided to scale back our garden; will buy root vegetables down at Ashcroft's "Desert Hills". Cutting my flower bed by over 50% and focusing on flowers up on our deck, where we sit anyways. Going to have some sad deer
Hope your knee issues settle.6 -
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

Hi, I’m Elise. I’m 62 and 5’5” . I live in Southeast Michigan.
This week we celebrated my husband’s birthday and I made him a most delicious carrot cake that I had too much of. We’ve also ate out quite a bit. I’m restarting again today and trying to be honest with myself. I lose weight when I exercise and eat right. I gain weight when I don’t. I’m going to bust out my Skinnytaste cookbooks, and walk with my grandkids today at Greenfield Village.
