    @dawnbgethealthy - Don't they close the kitchen at the bar at 9pm? Sounds like a really unexpected evening. Oh on the cruise I tried a Black Russian and also one with a splash of milk. Yummy. I need to dig through my notes from the cruise ... the bartender wrote down his personal famous recipe. You would love it ... very refreshing and it includes cucumbers which I imagine you have in your garden or at the local farmers market. How was the market?

    @deepwoodslady - Oh that is terrible! I definitely don't like it when the doctor's bedside manner puts you ill at ease. Some people just don't know kindness.

    @iradi8 - Yum red beans and rice! I made a big pot Monday too. Got to love comfort food even if I only allow myself smaller portions these days. Looks like your scale is going in the right direction.

    @fmfdfa2020 - Hope you break the yoyo cycle!

    @the_reflex - Salty foods ... I love them and they hate me. Congrats on hitting a milestone ... your same weight as 10 years ago. That is wonderful.

    @DarinGettingFitNow - I pulled out my watercolors and finished my calendar today. I had a lot to catch up since I missed a few days while on vacation and didn't pick up the paintbrush when I returned home last week.

    Here is my month in watercolor

    @Lilylady3k Love the watercolor calendar! I also eat smaller portions of red beans these days as well. It's hard to do that though. I'm from Louisiana, and red beans and rice are a staple. Also, I eat cauliflower rice now. I don't even notice any more:)

    @iradi8 - I've tried cauliflower rice and brown rice but still prefer my Uncle Ben's white rice with cajun food. One day maybe.
    I'm from Louisiana too :) Lived in Natchitoches growing up and then went to LSU. GEAUX Tigers!

    Day / Weight Daily Weigh In / Trend Weight / Comments report day of activity

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    240’s 230’s 220's 210's 200's 190's 180’s 170's 160's 150's


    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022) Lost focus on myself while helping with 2 new grand babies (Jan & June); also started teaching ESL on Tues & Thurs morning and no longer went to in person Strong & Fit class … EXCUSES EXCUSES
    2023 SW: 232 BMI 41.1 (1/1/2023) Lowest 226
    2024 SW: 230 BMI 40.7 (1/1/2024) Refocus 6/22/2024
    2025 SW: ⁉️ It’s totally up to you and within your control



    Strategy:
    Bike 30 min 3-4x weekly
    Strong & Fit 1 hr class 2x weekly
    Water 72+ oz daily
    Journal every bite focusing on low net carb <100g
    Weekly weigh in on Mondays



    226.6 - Ending weight last round on 7/11/2024 before vacation.
    7/11-7/25: DNW - Vacation Iceland & Norway
    7/26: 229.2 / 229.0 - Gained 2.6 lbs on vacation at first weigh in. I expect some of this to be travel bloat and disappear by tomorrow but not all! I did walk most days 2-6 miles which I'm proud of! Pushed through the knee pain. And one day I actually got on the bike in the gym on the boat. :)
    Not surprised that my weight is up. After a day of travel leaving at 3am Thursday morning from the hotel in Oslo … hour drive to the airport… flights to Paris, Detroit, Houston (airplane food on each leg of the journey and 3 bags of chips on the last flight) … landed in Houston at 6pm … picking up our dog & dinner with our son’s family at 7:30pm, another hour driving home finally home at 10:00pm Thursday night (which was 5am Friday morning Oslo time). So all in all a 26 hour travel day.
    Broke my promise to myself so vacation eating plan was a fail in that I ate the bread basket every night at dinner and dessert at lunch, dinner and 4pm tea time on a 11 night cruise! Oh boy such bad habits on vacation to over come. Otherwise my eating was really healthy with small portions and no snacking. Lots of room to improve on my next cruise in October.
    Now to tackle these pounds and not let them continue to slip back into the 230s.
    7/27: 227.5 / 228.6 - The real weight gain from my trip is .9 lbs! Less than a pound. Shedded the bloat from the long 26 hours of travel and got my body reset to this time zone. I’ll take it and tackle that little gain before it slips away from me. 😊 Now to make progress … meaning I need to focus on WATER, exercise and journaling every bite remembering small portions pay off big dividends helping me toward my goals.
    Biked 30 min, journaled, water 80+ oz
    7/28: 226.0 / 227.8 - Back to clean living and better habits. Grocery shopping was huge since before leaving due to the hurricane electrical outage for 3-4 days we had to throw EVERYTHING out of our 2 fridge/freezers. So lots of fresh food and very few temptations or snacks in the house. DH didn’t even buy cookies so there are no sweets to add calories after dinner. Created menus and bought only what was needed though I did forget salad dressing … guess the selection balsamic my sister gave me for Christmas will due in a pinch. LOL
    Bike 30 min, journaled, water 80+ oz
    7/29: 225.5 / 227.1 - Didn’t make strength training class since DH has Covid and I had to deal with the AC guy for our annual checkup. He was early and showed up when my class was suppose to start. So after he left I got on the bike instead.
    Bike 30 min, journaled, water 80 oz

    Weekly Goal: Lose any vacation pounds and ensure I’m back < 227
    Actual Weight: 225.5 - BMI = 40
    Challenge Weight Loss: 1.1
    🎯 Returning from vacation and getting myself started back on the healthy journey was key this week. I’m happy with my focus and determination. Now to focus on no longer being labeled “morbidly” obese.


    7/30: 224.8 / 226.2 - Bike 30, journaled, water 80 oz. Focusing on getting the 7 hrs recommended sleep.
    7/31: 224.5 / 225.5 - Since I missed strength training Monday I’ll tune into her private YouTube channel and do a make up session. I put it off not feeling my best so probably will test for Covid later today.
    8/1:
    8/2:
    8/3: Sip & See for my new granddaughter on Saturday. Myself and the other grandmother are hosting a large party of our lady friends (45-50) to meet all 3 of my grandchildren. Now concerned that I might not make it if I’ve caught DH’s covid.
    8/4:
    8/5:

    Weekly Goal: Obese stage 2 BMI 39.9 @ <225 No longer 🚫 morbidly obese!

    BMI is broken down as follows:
    * Normal: 19.0–24.9
    * Overweight: 25.0–29.9
    * Obese stage 1: 30.0–34.9

    Oh my, I hope that you didn't catch the Covid, but it is in your house.

    Yes please on the refreshing cocktail.
    No, I don't grow cucumbers, but I have tried and tried to do so.

    The kitchen at the bar that I work at will stay open as long as people want to eat. The chef leases the space, so is not paid by the hour, only on food sales.

    On the rice front, I have also tried brown rice and brown basmati, cauiflower rice, and kanjac rice. I prefer white basmati. I make a rice cooker full and portion it into 1/2 cup and 1 cup containers that I put into the freezer and pull out if I plan to have rice.
    Rice and beans is lovely, common in the Carribean and Mexico as well as the south. I should have that more often to boost my fibre intake and to sweep out my GI tract.

    I love your calendar!

    Thoughts at the beginning of this challenge:

    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, uphill, both ways. However, each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I CAN make, no matter how big or small. Sadly, I gained a little over 6 pounds last round. I hope to turn all that back around this round. After all, here in Northern Michigan I wait a very long time each year to finally get to good weather and more outside activity. I really want to capitalize on the good weather in the summer months and increase activity and drop pounds. I’m failing miserably with this so far in 2024. Time to maximize the rest of summer and early fall with challenge #20 and make the magic happen! I am so very 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 12-07/30-189.8-(Trend weight 190.0) I forgot to NOT weight in as planned due to the travel yesterday. As long as I accidentally stepped on the scale, I may as well document it. The ankle and foot specialist appointment was a bit of a waste of time. He can’t help me with my main issues although he does see a bunionette on my right foot he could surgically fix. He says the next steps to the neurologist and the EMG needle poking in the feet tests should yield more answers and (eventually) treatment options for my issues. He was rude to the point of almost being obnoxious. Whatever happened to bedside manner? Shame on him, he had lots of gray mixed in his hair and was plenty old enough to know better. I won’t be going back.

    Day 13-07/31-188.4-(Trend weight 190.3) I had a run-in with my contractor yesterday making it an emotionally draining day. I don’t think today will be any better. The crew arrived this morning and is working on the vinyl siding outside, but he is not here yet. He will be working on my bedroom today with another drywall person. I dread even seeing him! I will try to stay away from emotional eating. Yesterday was tough but I managed. Yesterday I very purposely had OMAD plus my night snacks. I still need to cut down in the snack department. I’m a work in progress. Exercise has been non-existent.

    Thank you @dawnbgethealthy. I would love to join this challenge! @deepwoodslady I am so happy you added the dates for us to copy - Thanks!

    Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
    186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
    179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169

    I'm not setting a goal. I'm just going to see what happens if I stay on plan for 100 days!

    Start: 172.6
    Week 1: 172.0 / 0.6
    Total: 0.6

    Day 08—07/26 – 171.8 - Goodbye 172.X
    Day 09—07/27 – DNW
    Day 10—07/28 – 172.2 - I guess I said goodbye to 172.X too soon. ;) Popcorn with too much salt.
    Day 11—07/29 – 171.6 80oz water
    Day 12—07/30 – 172.2 - And up again. Expected. I was up at 3a eating so I could take tylenol for a headache.
    Day 13—07/31 – 171.0 :)
    Day 14—08/01 –

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    180 / 170s / 160s / 150s / 140s / 130s
    Day 01—07/19 – 172.6 - So excited for Day 1! :)
    Day 02—07/20 – 172.6
    Day 03—07/21 – 172.6 - This is my 4th day at this exact weight. ;) My plan today is to drink 80oz of water, lower my carbs and eat on the low end of my calorie cycyling.
    Day 04—07/22 – 172.4 - Only a .2 loss but I'm glad 172.6 is gone. I am an impatient cook and really don't enjoy cooking at all so I tend to do whatever I can that is easy, and I make a lot of it to eat on for days. Yesterday, I cooked a lot of skinless, boneless chicken breast in a dutch oven with spices and a little chicken broth. Once cooked, I shredded them. The day before I cooked a ton of fresh organic carrots, and I steamed a big pot of broccoli. All are in the fridge to eat however, and whenever, we want.
    Day 05—07/23 – 172.2
    Day 06—07/24 – 172.0
    Day 07—07/25 – 172.0

    @deepwoodslady

    Oh no about the run-in with your contractor.

    I don't want you to have any stall to getting your bedroom finished, so that you can get to some semblance of normalcy.

    If they are at the drywall stage then hopefully they are just about done.

    Hi : - )
    I am Dawn.
    5'2"
    Cranbrook, BC

    The most that I have ever lost on one of these 100s is 7lbs.
    I have gained in each of the last 6 of them!
    I am not sure what it is going to take, but I would like to get back to 130 and below.


    Week 1 Goal: 146.2
    Week 1 actual weight: 148.0 - Started the week at 147.2

    Day 08—07/26 – 148.2 - Rushing this morning...
    Day 09—07/27 – 148.0 - Just one job later today. I am not sure what I am going to get up to before that, there is stuff needing done in every direction that I look. I tried to sleep in a bit today, just on coffee at the moment. For sure I will be getting a good workout in. Nice and cool, so I could last longer out weeding than in the last month. Our temps are supposed to rise here again in a couple of days. Like you @Lynn__W fires are near.
    Day 10—07/28 – 148.2 - I prepped myself nachos before going to work yesterday, and had those with a couple of cocktails when I got home. Very yummy with fresh stuff from my garden on them. Woke at 5am and listened to the radio in bed for an hour and then snoozed until 10am! Not sure yet what I am going to get up to today, other than a new market that I heard about last night from one of the customers in the bar. 2 jobs tomorrow, my longest workday, and then another day off for Tuesday. Liking this : - )
    Day 11—07/29 – 147.2 - Nice little drop, days off do me wonders I guess.
    So...this might be what it takes, expend close to what I take in?
    Day 12—07/30 – 146.2 - Wow, dropped an entire pound. This doesn't usually happen for me, I normally only gain over the last couple of years. I worked my day shift at the Indian Restaurant, came home to change and eat a sandwich, went to my next job at the bar expecting to be finished by 10pm. 16 people (a group) started arriving just after 9:30 and all had dinner and several drinks. I was home at 2am!! Wishing now that I hadn't made a hair appointment for early this morning. I definitely couldn't start eating a meal at 2am. I had 2 black russians, a tablespoon of peanuts and a tablespoon of chipnuts. Yeah, not super healthy. Very little sleep, I will not like looking at my face in the big mirror while getting my hair foiled, that is for sure! No choice really lol. Dreaming of more sleep later, but I don't want to waste my day off.
    Day 13—07/31 – 147.0 - Not a very productive day yesterday, I was pretty tired. I managed to get in 5 Fitness Marshall songs, but didn't get the grass cut or much work done in the garden. Our temps have been cooler for a few days, but are about to rise again. Perhaps I should try to get the grass cut before my jobs today. I was up way too early this morning.
    Day 14—08/01 –

    Week 2 Goal: 147s
    Week 2 actual weight:

    Started the 100 at 147.2

    I'm 58 years old and 5'6".
    Current weight is: 216.7
    Highest weight was 252.6.
    100 Day Goal: To be under 200 lbs.

    Week 1 actual weight: 217.6

    Day 08—07/26 – 217.8 - Vacation 7 weeks ago & I've been off the rails since then, so gained recently.
    Day 09—07/27 – 216.5 - Healthy eating today & tracked it all.
    Day 10—07/28 – 214.7 - Finally back on track with eating better. Now to keep it up!
    Day 11—07/29 – 213.4 - Still on track with my eating. Staying under 1800 calories.
    Day 12—07/30 – 213.4 - Another on-track day. Thought it would be up due to salty red beans & rice:)
    Day 13—07/31 – 212.9 - Yet another good day yesterday. This morning I went for a long walk.
    Day 14—08/01 –

    @Lilylady3k I hope you're feeling better soon. That is cool that you're from Louisiana, and you're a Tiger! My daughter just graduated from LSU. Geaux Tigers!

    @fmfdfa2020 - I'm definitely a list maker and it is SOOOoooooo satisfying to check something off and acknowledge the accomplishment. Enjoy your list ... share if you feel like it. Always looking for more ideas for my own list.

    Today I cleaned out my drawers and then my cabinet of pants that are too small evaluating what I have for this fall if no when I lose more weight!
