    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. Skipped all exercise instead this Wednesday. First time in the red since I had not activity to burn off extra calories. 1228 cal and 70 net carbs. Felt so awfully full in the evening that I had to stretch out and go to bed early. Journaled and 80 oz water.
    8/1: 224.4 / 225.0 - Feeling good this morning but still have an uncomfortably full sensation. Otherwise feel normal. Negative Covid test! Biked 30 72+ oz water. Journaled a big bowl of red beans and rice but the surprise was the 31 carbs in my store bought prepackaged salad! Roundtrip 3 hours to north part of Houston to watch my granddaughter for 2 hrs. DH is considering moving to be closer.
    8/2: 224.1 / 224.5 - Today’s focus … after my exercise class … prep for the party. Buying everything for the charcuterie board I’m making for the party, bake dark chocolate brownies, an then picking up wine & special iced cookies for the party tomorrow. The other grandmother is having tea sandwiches made, buying a dip, wine, variety of sparkling waters and she hired someone to act as bartender and to keep the place picked up during the party (la-di-da but that is how she rolls in her world … the party is at her house in a very nice upscale area inside Houston).
    Only did 20 min of my strength training class because I became dizzy and almost fainted. Had to lay down. Journaled. 72+ oz water.
    8/3: 224.8 / 224.4 - Not at all surprised by the up tic on the scale. Lunch out with my daughter yesterday and though we split the meal I let her order … chips with spinach artichoke dip, chicken strips, French fries. Nothing healthy about it! Then I ate brownies because they made a crumbled mess out of the pan and didn’t get a clean square … probably ate 2.
    Today I need to be a little more cautious in my eating! Sip & See for my new granddaughter. Myself and the other grandmother are hosting a large party of our lady friends (45-50) to meet all 3 of my grandchildren. No exercise, no journal but did drink my water. Didn’t eat anything at the party but did have a slice of brisket at my son’s and a cookie when I returned home.
    8/4: 223.5 / 223.9 - Nothing planned today but the bike and painting. May get out and weed some though the heat is stifling. Way too much charcuterie and cookie leftovers in the house. DH & I could have charcuterie for lunch or dinner every day this week LOL
    Bike 30 min, water definitely but not sure of the oz, no journal.
    8/5: 223.7 / 223.7 - I successfully made my goal this week!!!
    20 min strength training, not enough water and no journaling.

    Weekly Goal: Obese stage 2 BMI 39.9 @ <225 No longer 🚫 morbidly obese!
    Actual Weight: 223.7 - BMI 39.7
    Challenge Weight Loss: 2.9
    🎯 I moved out of Morbidly obese stage 3 and into obese stage 2! ✔️
    Now to work my way down to obese stage 1 around 197 but I’ll first have to hit many milestones to get there.
    NSV - I “slid” my cellphone into my front pocket of my pants with lots of room to spare. (Aug 2024) ✔️


    8/6: 224.6 / 223.8 - Bike 30 min, no journal.
    8/7: 223.4 / 223.5 - No planned exercise for Wed! Need to focus on water. Though I’m not journaling my portion control has been spot on and no time for snacking the last few days.
    8/8: 223.5 / 223.4 - Bike 30 min, water, but only half journaling and way over my net carb limit of <100 due to snacking on crackers.
    8/9: 224.4 / 223.5 - Strength training 40 min, water, but still no journaling.
    8/10: 222.9 / 223.2 - No exercise or journaling.
    8/11: 224.2 / 223.4 - No exercise or journaling.
    8/12: 223.0 / 223.2 - Pre-journaled my food plan. Slight change in food plan for lunch. No exercise … forgot how time consuming a 2 month old is!

    Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Actual Weight: 223.0
    Challenge Weight Loss: xx
    🎯 Many poor food choices, no journaling for the entire week, exercise also thrown off since DD & grandkids stayed with us while her husband had pneumonia. Cannot let grandkids be the reason I regain the weight like 2022!

    8/13: 223.3 / 223.1 - No exercise, no journaling
    8/14: 223.8 / 223.2 - Travel day round trip to granddaughter’s ~3 hrs and caring for her today. Bad food choices, no journaling, no exercise, lacked water.
    8/15: 225.1 / 223.7 - Bike 30, no journal and lacked water. I have today all to myself … so plenty of time to work on my own goals, exercise and make great decisions!
    8/16: 223.5 / 223.6 - Thought that spike might have been temporary. Glad to see the number come back down! Baby duty today for my 2 month old. She starts daycare on Monday. So I’m planning to enjoy all the snuggles I can get though I will miss my strength training class. No exercise or journaling and still need to work on water. But my meals were barely there … like I took some turkey deli meat and that was it for lunch. Not one single snack all day!
    8/17: 222.8 / 223.4 - Good the trend is going back down! Tonight I babysit but today is mine for exercise and painting. Bike 30 min and drank more water.
    8/18: 222.3 / 223.0 - Today roundtrip car trip to my son’s to help unload and move furniture they bought. My goal is to bike this morning since we don’t have to be there until noon. DH & I decided to eat at home for both lunch and dinner and it makes a huge difference. No snacking. 30 min bike! 80+ oz water.
    8/19: 220.5 / 222.1 - WOW! Controlling what I put in my body makes a huge difference … something I need to remember. Opportunity to eat out before and after our roundtrip to my son’s home to help move furniture. Instead of lunch out for burgers & fries at a new place DH & I made open faced sandwich and a few olives for salty. Returning from my son’s we almost went to an Italian restaurant but came home cooked a steak and romaine lettuce on the grill with a homemade lemon parmesan thyme dressing.
    📚 tonight + strength training today 40 min. AF ✔️

    Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Actual Weight: 220.5 - BMI 39.1
    Challenge Weight Loss: 6
    🎯 Getting back on the bike, water and watching what I eat always pays off focusing Thurs-Sun. I need to remember this when my schedule goes crazy like it did in the earlier part of the week! I was able to bounce back. Aug 10 last Saturday I was in the 222 range but then let life happen and it slipped away. The old me would have avoided the scale at all cost after Wed after a really bad eating day and travel. But I did the daily stepping on registered it and moved on. Yeah me! It was mostly temporary due to time in a car and eating out processed food / sodium … so I had hoped I could reel it back in and I did. Ignoring things never got me anywhere. Got back down again not letting my weekend dictate slacking off. Full steam ahead started on Thursday and it paid off for my weekly weigh in. Now to not let up or slip up! I have dinner with book club ladies Monday and Wednesday night at restaurants this next week.

    8/20: 220.9 / 221.6 - Okay into the stretch shooting for the teens! Bike 30 min, water 80 oz. ✔️
    8/21: 221.3 / 221.3 - Today will be challenging. Driving to care for my granddaughter. Eating out lunch and dinner. Leaving at 9am returning at 9pm. Mexican food and chips temptation at bookclub. 📚 Dined out at Mexican restaurant for both lunch and& dinner. Tried to keep my portions down and not eat everything on my plate and counted chips. Did not order any rice, beans, etc and ate only 2 of 3 enchiladas at lunch and half order of quesadillas at dinner. AF. No exercise Wednesday but lots of water. ✔️
    8/22: 220.8 / 220.9 - Prep day for procedure only clear liquids which thank goodness includes black coffee, tea, chicken broth. Alcohol Free (AF)! Still feeling full from all the chicken enchiladas and chicken quesadillas yesterday. Met with design team on remodeling our downstairs. Next week we meet with the contractors and appliance people. Lunch out with DD & DH. While they ate I sipped on my chicken broth in a Yeti cup that kept it warm for the trip and more water. No exercise but plenty of water.✔️
    8/23: 219.3 / 220.3 - Lacking sleep. This is definitely not a diet to lose weight!!! Love that I touched the teens but positive it is a temporary loss. Scheduled Colonoscopy & Endoscopy. Results are fine. No exercise, lots of water, regular meals. Slept most of the afternoon. ✔️
    8/24: 223.4 / 221.0 - I knew it would be up from yesterday’s low but this is ridiculous! Still resting no exercise, lots of water. Not snacking and meals have not been that bad but did indulge in ice cream after dinner when watching a movie.
    8/25: 222.0 / 221.2 - Cannot believe how off kilter I am on the scale … you would think after a colonoscopy the numbers would be down. Dinner at my son’s cancelled since DIL is sick. Bike 30 min.
    8/26: 221.8 / 221.4 - Glad the number is coming back down but disappointed that I let it get out of hand. Not really sure why or what happened. Driving 2+ hr to pick up my granddaughter so she can spend the days and nights here so my son can work and my DIL can recover from fever, upper respiratory infection, etc … she needs rest, fluids, antibiotics. Walked outside 1/4 mile with stroller.✔️

    Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Glass of water before coffee ✔️
    Actual Weight: 221.8
    GAINED this week: 1.3
    Challenge Weight Loss: 4.5
    🎯 Disappointed that I let it get out of hand. Not really sure why or what happened. I didn’t snack but were my portions larger than I thought? Need to focus on journaling every bite again.

    8/27: 220.2 / 220.9 - Finally back down to 220 again. Maybe my body has finally rid itself of all the bloat after the colonoscopy. Now to continue and break through the 220s! Granddaughter duty today. No exercise. Did not journal my food at all … not one single bite.
    8/28: 220.5 / 220.8 - Okay today focus! Not traveling today and no granddaughter duty since my son said he would stay home and work and care for her so I don’t have to make the drive again. Bike 30 min, lacked water and still not journaling.
    8/29: 221.1 / 220.7 - No excuses today! Nothing on my agenda except prepping to teach ESL starting in Sept, watercolor, exercise and menu planning.

    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. :)

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.

    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. Skipped all exercise instead this Wednesday. First time in the red since I had not activity to burn off extra calories. 1228 cal and 70 net carbs. Felt so awfully full in the evening that I had to stretch out and go to bed early. Journaled and 80 oz water.
    8/1: 224.4 / 225.0 - Feeling good this morning but still have an uncomfortably full sensation. Otherwise feel normal. Negative Covid test! Biked 30 72+ oz water. Journaled a big bowl of red beans and rice but the surprise was the 31 carbs in my store bought prepackaged salad! Roundtrip 3 hours to north part of Houston to watch my granddaughter for 2 hrs. DH is considering moving to be closer.
    8/2: 224.1 / 224.5 - Today’s focus … after my exercise class … prep for the party. Buying everything for the charcuterie board I’m making for the party, bake dark chocolate brownies, an then picking up wine & special iced cookies for the party tomorrow. The other grandmother is having tea sandwiches made, buying a dip, wine, variety of sparkling waters and she hired someone to act as bartender and to keep the place picked up during the party (la-di-da but that is how she rolls in her world … the party is at her house in a very nice upscale area inside Houston).
    Only did 20 min of my strength training class because I became dizzy and almost fainted. Had to lay down. Journaled. 72+ oz water.
    8/3: 224.8 / 224.4 - Not at all surprised by the up tic on the scale. Lunch out with my daughter yesterday and though we split the meal I let her order … chips with spinach artichoke dip, chicken strips, French fries. Nothing healthy about it! Then I ate brownies because they made a crumbled mess out of the pan and didn’t get a clean square … probably ate 2.
    Today I need to be a little more cautious in my eating! Sip & See for my new granddaughter. Myself and the other grandmother are hosting a large party of our lady friends (45-50) to meet all 3 of my grandchildren. No exercise, no journal but did drink my water. Didn’t eat anything at the party but did have a slice of brisket at my son’s and a cookie when I returned home.
    8/4: 223.5 / 223.9 - Nothing planned today but the bike and painting. May get out and weed some though the heat is stifling. Way too much charcuterie and cookie leftovers in the house. DH & I could have charcuterie for lunch or dinner every day this week LOL
    Bike 30 min, water definitely but not sure of the oz, no journal.
    8/5: 223.7 / 223.7 - I successfully made my goal this week!!!
    20 min strength training, not enough water and no journaling.

    Weekly Goal: Obese stage 2 BMI 39.9 @ <225 No longer 🚫 morbidly obese!
    Actual Weight: 223.7 - BMI 39.7
    Challenge Weight Loss: 2.9
    🎯 I moved out of Morbidly obese stage 3 and into obese stage 2! ✔️
    Now to work my way down to obese stage 1 around 197 but I’ll first have to hit many milestones to get there.
    NSV - I “slid” my cellphone into my front pocket of my pants with lots of room to spare. (Aug 2024) ✔️


    8/6: 224.6 / 223.8 - Bike 30 min, no journal.
    8/7: 223.4 / 223.5 - No planned exercise for Wed! Need to focus on water. Though I’m not journaling my portion control has been spot on and no time for snacking the last few days.
    8/8: 223.5 / 223.4 - Bike 30 min, water, but only half journaling and way over my net carb limit of <100 due to snacking on crackers.
    8/9: 224.4 / 223.5 - Strength training 40 min, water, but still no journaling.
    8/10: 222.9 / 223.2 - No exercise or journaling.
    8/11: 224.2 / 223.4 - No exercise or journaling.
    8/12: 223.0 / 223.2 - Pre-journaled my food plan. Slight change in food plan for lunch. No exercise … forgot how time consuming a 2 month old is!

    Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Actual Weight: 223.0
    Challenge Weight Loss: xx
    🎯 Many poor food choices, no journaling for the entire week, exercise also thrown off since DD & grandkids stayed with us while her husband had pneumonia. Cannot let grandkids be the reason I regain the weight like 2022!

    8/13: 223.3 / 223.1 - No exercise, no journaling
    8/14: 223.8 / 223.2 - Travel day round trip to granddaughter’s ~3 hrs and caring for her today. Bad food choices, no journaling, no exercise, lacked water.
    8/15: 225.1 / 223.7 - Bike 30, no journal and lacked water. I have today all to myself … so plenty of time to work on my own goals, exercise and make great decisions!
    8/16: 223.5 / 223.6 - Thought that spike might have been temporary. Glad to see the number come back down! Baby duty today for my 2 month old. She starts daycare on Monday. So I’m planning to enjoy all the snuggles I can get though I will miss my strength training class. No exercise or journaling and still need to work on water. But my meals were barely there … like I took some turkey deli meat and that was it for lunch. Not one single snack all day!
    8/17: 222.8 / 223.4 - Good the trend is going back down! Tonight I babysit but today is mine for exercise and painting. Bike 30 min and drank more water.
    8/18: 222.3 / 223.0 - Today roundtrip car trip to my son’s to help unload and move furniture they bought. My goal is to bike this morning since we don’t have to be there until noon. DH & I decided to eat at home for both lunch and dinner and it makes a huge difference. No snacking. 30 min bike! 80+ oz water.
    8/19: 220.5 / 222.1 - WOW! Controlling what I put in my body makes a huge difference … something I need to remember. Opportunity to eat out before and after our roundtrip to my son’s home to help move furniture. Instead of lunch out for burgers & fries at a new place DH & I made open faced sandwich and a few olives for salty. Returning from my son’s we almost went to an Italian restaurant but came home cooked a steak and romaine lettuce on the grill with a homemade lemon parmesan thyme dressing.
    📚 tonight + strength training today 40 min. AF ✔️

    Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Actual Weight: 220.5 - BMI 39.1
    Challenge Weight Loss: 6
    🎯 Getting back on the bike, water and watching what I eat always pays off focusing Thurs-Sun. I need to remember this when my schedule goes crazy like it did in the earlier part of the week! I was able to bounce back. Aug 10 last Saturday I was in the 222 range but then let life happen and it slipped away. The old me would have avoided the scale at all cost after Wed after a really bad eating day and travel. But I did the daily stepping on registered it and moved on. Yeah me! It was mostly temporary due to time in a car and eating out processed food / sodium … so I had hoped I could reel it back in and I did. Ignoring things never got me anywhere. Got back down again not letting my weekend dictate slacking off. Full steam ahead started on Thursday and it paid off for my weekly weigh in. Now to not let up or slip up! I have dinner with book club ladies Monday and Wednesday night at restaurants this next week.

    8/20: 220.9 / 221.6 - Okay into the stretch shooting for the teens! Bike 30 min, water 80 oz. ✔️
    8/21: 221.3 / 221.3 - Today will be challenging. Driving to care for my granddaughter. Eating out lunch and dinner. Leaving at 9am returning at 9pm. Mexican food and chips temptation at bookclub. 📚 Dined out at Mexican restaurant for both lunch and& dinner. Tried to keep my portions down and not eat everything on my plate and counted chips. Did not order any rice, beans, etc and ate only 2 of 3 enchiladas at lunch and half order of quesadillas at dinner. AF. No exercise Wednesday but lots of water. ✔️
    8/22: 220.8 / 220.9 - Prep day for procedure only clear liquids which thank goodness includes black coffee, tea, chicken broth. Alcohol Free (AF)! Still feeling full from all the chicken enchiladas and chicken quesadillas yesterday. Met with design team on remodeling our downstairs. Next week we meet with the contractors and appliance people. Lunch out with DD & DH. While they ate I sipped on my chicken broth in a Yeti cup that kept it warm for the trip and more water. No exercise but plenty of water.✔️
    8/23: 219.3 / 220.3 - Lacking sleep. This is definitely not a diet to lose weight!!! Love that I touched the teens but positive it is a temporary loss. Scheduled Colonoscopy & Endoscopy. Results are fine. No exercise, lots of water, regular meals. Slept most of the afternoon. ✔️
    8/24: 223.4 / 221.0 - I knew it would be up from yesterday’s low but this is ridiculous! Still resting no exercise, lots of water. Not snacking and meals have not been that bad but did indulge in ice cream after dinner when watching a movie.
    8/25: 222.0 / 221.2 - Cannot believe how off kilter I am on the scale … you would think after a colonoscopy the numbers would be down. Dinner at my son’s cancelled since DIL is sick. Bike 30 min.
    8/26: 221.8 / 221.4 - Glad the number is coming back down but disappointed that I let it get out of hand. Not really sure why or what happened. Driving 2+ hr to pick up my granddaughter so she can spend the days and nights here so my son can work and my DIL can recover from fever, upper respiratory infection, etc … she needs rest, fluids, antibiotics. Walked outside 1/4 mile with stroller.✔️

    Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Glass of water before coffee ✔️
    Actual Weight: 221.8
    GAINED this week: 1.3
    Challenge Weight Loss: 4.5
    🎯 Disappointed that I let it get out of hand. Not really sure why or what happened. I didn’t snack but were my portions larger than I thought? Need to focus on journaling every bite again.

    8/27: 220.2 / 220.9 - Finally back down to 220 again. Maybe my body has finally rid itself of all the bloat after the colonoscopy. Now to continue and break through the 220s! Granddaughter duty today. No exercise. Did not journal my food at all … not one single bite.
    8/28: 220.5 / 220.8 - Okay today focus! Not traveling today and no granddaughter duty since my son said he would stay home and work and care for her so I don’t have to make the drive again. Bike 30 min, lacked water and still not journaling.
    8/29: 221.1 / 220.7 - No excuses today! Bike 30 min
    8/30: 220.3 / 220.5 - Plans to bike, menu plan, grocery shop, drink more water!

    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 42-08/29-190.2-(Trend weight 190.7) Up a small bit. My contractor brought in food from the city he’s from yesterday. It was a breakfast pizza all meat, eggs, cheese, and crust but no veggies. I thought it wouldn’t be too bad because it would mainly be carbs. I was wrong apparently. Must be the crust and probably sodium that tipped the scale. Lesson learned. Today will be a well-planned thoughtful day. It’s back to school time this week so I’ll be picking my DGS up from the bus later today. No bus tomorrow morning as there is already a day off with no school. Contractor is finishing my large deck off my patio door in the main part of the house. It’s 15 x 28. Rain tomorrow so he will begin the process of staining it next week. He’s going to be building another small “coffee deck” off the sliding patio door in my bedroom soon. We absolutely have to take advantage of the weather-related projects right now since we are in Northern Michigan and fall/winter is coming soon. My roofing supplies are being delivered shortly after labor day and another team will be tackling that. In the meantime, I continue to sleep on my bed sitting in the middle of my living room. I am getting extremely impatient but know we have to work with the weather first.

    Day 43-08/30-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) No weigh Friday. I fixed a nice “normal” (includes more carbs) style dinner last night for myself, DS, DD and DGS. It included some extra carbs in the form of a starchier veggie and a side of pasta as the DGS and autistic DS will both eat that. I also had some caramel corn later out of my daughter’s mobile stash. A new product from an Amish store and my curiosity got the best of me! My own choice and my own fault. I hope to have a good day today so that my weight tomorrow will not be so affected. However, it is a holiday weekend and there are some plans in place. Stay safe everyone!

    Hi, Folks! My name is Darin, and this is my 3rd 100 days challenge (non-consecutive). I do better when I am obligated to post daily – it really makes a difference for me – and I love the community aspect. I’m looking forward to another great 100d!

    Starting Weight: 159.2
    Day 01--07/19 – 159.2 My company was affected by the Crowdstrike problem. I spent all day on hold with IT. My computer is finally working, but it’s after an entire wasted day. Note to self: next time there’s a system-wide failure, just leave the computer and do something fun instead. It wasn’t worth hanging around my work computer, looking at messages come in. I could have had a nice day of paint-by-numbers! Well, that’s my weekend.
    Day 02—07/20 – 158.6 Happy Weekend! I hope y’all are doing well. I’m so glad to have some time to relax and putter around the house. Also in charge of dinner for tonight, so will try to come up with something satisfying but healthy.
    Day 03—07/21 –159.6 mixed results for last night. I made a kung pao chicken noodle dish which turned out very good, but I also baked cookies which were not part of the plan. So four cookies later, I had nulled out any positivity from the dinner.
    Day 04—07/22 –159.9 COOKIES. Too many cookies! Stopped at four yesterday straight out of the oven. But cookie breakfast AND snack isn’t the way I want to go. I also feel kind of bleh afterwards – I think it’s just the empty calories/sugar. Logging it all, though. No matter what!
    Day 05—07/23 –159.2 Hard to focus at work today. Migraine did not help matters at all.
    Day 06—07/24 –158.6 Almost done with week 1! We’re walking early in the day due to the heat. Tonight it’s back to trivia. We won first place last week, so it remains to be seen how well we do tonight 😊
    Day 07—07/25 –158.7 Got 4th place yesterday in trivia. Boo! Next time around…. Looking forward to Friday tomorrow. My husband bought some apple fritters which are now in the house. It’s going to be hard to do that in moderation!
    Week 1 Goal: 158.2
    Week 1 actual weight: 158.7

    Day 08—07/26 –159.2 Moderately stressful Friday today. So glad it’s the weekend.
    Day 09—07/27 –158.7 Got a haircut and did some paint-by-numbers today. Looking forward to a gentle Sunday 😊
    Day 10—07/28 –158.3
    Day 11—07/29 –158.5
    Day 12—07/30 –158.0 terrible night last night – have some kind of stomach bug. On the up side I’m not that hungry. ON the downside, lots of GI problems right now.
    Day 13—07/31 –159.0 Feeling better and think that the weight is due to the salty soup I ate for dinner yesterday. Had a fairly productive day today, though. Lilylady3k I love it! Your calendar is the tops!
    Day 14—08/01 –158.0 Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. Long, tough workday today. At least got the walk out of the way early in the very humid day.
    Week 2 Goal: 156.2
    Week 2 actual weight: 158.0

    Day 15—08/02 –158.6 survived the workday. Looking forward to a peaceful weekend ahead. One of the activities is taking my mom out for birthday dinner, so that’ll be a real test of moderation.
    Day 16—08/03 –156.9 Woot! Maybe I’m out of the 158s now? That would be super. I’ve been hanging out there for some time now. Had a lovely day of painting and playing around, then cooked a nice dinner for Josh and me – it wasn’t calorie-conscious, but I only ate one serving 😊 There’s a berry cheesecake defrosting, though, so I’m going to have to be very wary around that!!!
    Day 17—08/04 –157.0 That cheesecake was delicious. It was hard to keep it to one serving! I was very close to just saying “too delicious for just one slice” lol. It’s still in the fridge, though – so if I can hold it together for the rest of the day, maybe I can have another slice. *maybe*
    Day 18—08/05 –157.8 Eating out yesterday plus the cheesecake equalled a bit of a slide backwards. But today I’ve been doing okay. Going to give that last slice of cheesecake to my husband – he’ll appreciate that!
    Day 19—08/06 –158.4 Well all good intentions, my husband ended up giving me back the cheesecake slice. I swore, then I ate it. So the scale is definitely deserved.
    Day 20—08/07 –157.4 Going out to play trivia tonight! Looking forward to a little relaxation at the local tavern. They have a “design your own salad” option that I’m very much anticipating.
    Day 21—08/08 –158.1 and I opted to have a hot dog and tater tots instead of salad. Whoops. We got second place at trivia, though, so it was a sweet victory! Okay next time I’m getting the salad. Non-scout’s honor.
    Week 3 Goal: 155.2
    Week 3 actual weight: 158.1

    Day 22—08/09 –158.1 Another work week done. Soooo looking forward to some R&R! going to try to fit in some extra walking this weekend if not a trip to the gym. Also donating platelets on Sunday, which I try to do at least monthly.
    Day 23—08/10 –157.3 It was very hot and humid today, so we skipped our walk. Tomorrow will get up early to exercise and hope to beat the heat. looneycatblue I take iron supplements daily to help with my levels. It took a while of taking them to get stabilized – a few weeks might not be enough prep time for you.
    Day 24—08/11 –157.6
    Day 25—08/12 –159.3 CMON. I did donate platelets on Sunday, beforewhich I got breakfast at McDonald’s. That might have been a reason for this jump. It was a lot of salt and fat and calories! Well will try to hold things together this week…
    Day 26—08/13 –159.5
    Day 27—08/14 –159.2 Okay I’ll admit that I’m a bit discouraged and have had a hard time keeping to a eating regimen. I’m going to try to pull it back in though.
    Day 28—08/15 –158.1
    Week 4 Goal: 153.2
    Week 4 actual weight:158.1


    Day 29—08/16 –157.7 I needed to take a break from hawking over MFP, so I had a nice, moderate dinner at Texas Roadhouse yesterday evening, and had some leftovers today. It feels like the scale is tipping back in the right direction, so there’s at least that.
    Day 30—08/17 –156.5
    Day 31—08/18 –155.9
    Day 32—08/19 –157.4 back and forth a bit. My portion sizes are good, even if sometimes my selections aren’t the best (hello shrimp scampi and spaghetti noodles). Had a girls’ night in on Saturday and did well there too (Mediterranean food).
    Day 33—08/20 –156.3 I hope y’all are doing well! It’s okay over here. Tough couple of work days made worse with migraine flaring yesterday. Still coming out of it… And yes, Texas Roadhouse! It's super indulgent (that bread!) and an "only once in a while" treat for me and my husband. :-)
    Day 34—08/21 –156.7 So had an adventure in IT today.
    Day 35—08/22 –156.9
    Week 5 Goal: n/a
    Week 5 actual weight: 156.9

    Day 36—08/23 –157.2 It’s been a tough couple of migraine days. And, let’s face it, “it tastes good” days. And not even for high-value quality food, either! That’s the worst part. If I was having a nosh on some bacon or some cheesecake that’d be one thing. But eating a serving of leftovers because I enjoyed it? Not the level I want to be hanging out on. At least if I’m going over on calories let’s have it be for something that’s worth it.
    Day 37—08/24 –157.1
    Day 38—08/25 –157.1
    Day 39—08/26 –156.9 slightly down. Looking over August I haven’t done great… but will just have to have a great September! We can do this!!!
    Day 40—08/27 –156.7 very determined to have a great September 😊 going to make sure I’m logging everything (I’ve been slacking) and up the activity. I really hate, hate, hate new years resolutions. I figure if you want to make a change, just make it already! So my non-new years resolution is to take better care of myself. dawnbgethealthy I am sensitive to pressure changes too. I get migraines if there are sudden drops or rises - and being tired is one of the symptoms. I used to call my brain a barometer because gosh help us if we're in danger of a hurricane!
    Day 41—08/28 –156.5 long day, but had a great session with my therapist, and we’re going out to the local tavern to play trivia tonight. So will try to eat in moderation while there 😊
    Day 42—08/29 –157.0 did well at the pub, not great at the trivia 😊 I had an unhealthy hot dog with fries but cut the entire plate in half and couldn’t even finish the half I was going to eat. So there’s at least that. Note to self: hot dog with chili and coleslaw doesn’t reheat so great.
    Week 6 Goal:
    Week 6 actual weight:157.0
    Day 43—08/30 –156.7 TGIF! And a long weekend to boot! I’m excited. We have some shopping ahead, and some walking in nature, and some socializing ahead! I have way too many apples so will be making either a crisp or a pie – so will have to give away most of it 😉 Oh, and I forgot a fantasy football draft on Monday - we're going to grill out ahead of time (going to put some yummy veg on the grill). What are your weekend plans?

Finally the weather will be back to seasonal, but I will be inside all day, no tan on my legs lol. I have Sunday off, and finish at 8 both tonight and tomorrow, so all good. I am going to need a refeed, I have only been able to get around 1,000 calories a day this past week. '

    Strategy:

    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. Skipped all exercise instead this Wednesday. First time in the red since I had not activity to burn off extra calories. 1228 cal and 70 net carbs. Felt so awfully full in the evening that I had to stretch out and go to bed early. Journaled and 80 oz water.
    8/1: 224.4 / 225.0 - Feeling good this morning but still have an uncomfortably full sensation. Otherwise feel normal. Negative Covid test! Biked 30 72+ oz water. Journaled a big bowl of red beans and rice but the surprise was the 31 carbs in my store bought prepackaged salad! Roundtrip 3 hours to north part of Houston to watch my granddaughter for 2 hrs. DH is considering moving to be closer.
    8/2: 224.1 / 224.5 - Today’s focus … after my exercise class … prep for the party. Buying everything for the charcuterie board I’m making for the party, bake dark chocolate brownies, an then picking up wine & special iced cookies for the party tomorrow. The other grandmother is having tea sandwiches made, buying a dip, wine, variety of sparkling waters and she hired someone to act as bartender and to keep the place picked up during the party (la-di-da but that is how she rolls in her world … the party is at her house in a very nice upscale area inside Houston).
    Only did 20 min of my strength training class because I became dizzy and almost fainted. Had to lay down. Journaled. 72+ oz water.
    8/3: 224.8 / 224.4 - Not at all surprised by the up tic on the scale. Lunch out with my daughter yesterday and though we split the meal I let her order … chips with spinach artichoke dip, chicken strips, French fries. Nothing healthy about it! Then I ate brownies because they made a crumbled mess out of the pan and didn’t get a clean square … probably ate 2.
    Today I need to be a little more cautious in my eating! Sip & See for my new granddaughter. Myself and the other grandmother are hosting a large party of our lady friends (45-50) to meet all 3 of my grandchildren. No exercise, no journal but did drink my water. Didn’t eat anything at the party but did have a slice of brisket at my son’s and a cookie when I returned home.
    8/4: 223.5 / 223.9 - Nothing planned today but the bike and painting. May get out and weed some though the heat is stifling. Way too much charcuterie and cookie leftovers in the house. DH & I could have charcuterie for lunch or dinner every day this week LOL
    Bike 30 min, water definitely but not sure of the oz, no journal.
    8/5: 223.7 / 223.7 - I successfully made my goal this week!!!
    20 min strength training, not enough water and no journaling.

    Weekly Goal: Obese stage 2 BMI 39.9 @ <225 No longer 🚫 morbidly obese!
    Actual Weight: 223.7 - BMI 39.7
    Challenge Weight Loss: 2.9
    🎯 I moved out of Morbidly obese stage 3 and into obese stage 2! ✔️
    Now to work my way down to obese stage 1 around 197 but I’ll first have to hit many milestones to get there.
    NSV - I “slid” my cellphone into my front pocket of my pants with lots of room to spare. (Aug 2024) ✔️


    8/6: 224.6 / 223.8 - Bike 30 min, no journal.
    8/7: 223.4 / 223.5 - No planned exercise for Wed! Need to focus on water. Though I’m not journaling my portion control has been spot on and no time for snacking the last few days.
    8/8: 223.5 / 223.4 - Bike 30 min, water, but only half journaling and way over my net carb limit of <100 due to snacking on crackers.
    8/9: 224.4 / 223.5 - Strength training 40 min, water, but still no journaling.
    8/10: 222.9 / 223.2 - No exercise or journaling.
    8/11: 224.2 / 223.4 - No exercise or journaling.
    8/12: 223.0 / 223.2 - Pre-journaled my food plan. Slight change in food plan for lunch. No exercise … forgot how time consuming a 2 month old is!

    Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Actual Weight: 223.0
    Challenge Weight Loss: xx
    🎯 Many poor food choices, no journaling for the entire week, exercise also thrown off since DD & grandkids stayed with us while her husband had pneumonia. Cannot let grandkids be the reason I regain the weight like 2022!

    8/13: 223.3 / 223.1 - No exercise, no journaling
    8/14: 223.8 / 223.2 - Travel day round trip to granddaughter’s ~3 hrs and caring for her today. Bad food choices, no journaling, no exercise, lacked water.
    8/15: 225.1 / 223.7 - Bike 30, no journal and lacked water. I have today all to myself … so plenty of time to work on my own goals, exercise and make great decisions!
    8/16: 223.5 / 223.6 - Thought that spike might have been temporary. Glad to see the number come back down! Baby duty today for my 2 month old. She starts daycare on Monday. So I’m planning to enjoy all the snuggles I can get though I will miss my strength training class. No exercise or journaling and still need to work on water. But my meals were barely there … like I took some turkey deli meat and that was it for lunch. Not one single snack all day!
    8/17: 222.8 / 223.4 - Good the trend is going back down! Tonight I babysit but today is mine for exercise and painting. Bike 30 min and drank more water.
    8/18: 222.3 / 223.0 - Today roundtrip car trip to my son’s to help unload and move furniture they bought. My goal is to bike this morning since we don’t have to be there until noon. DH & I decided to eat at home for both lunch and dinner and it makes a huge difference. No snacking. 30 min bike! 80+ oz water.
    8/19: 220.5 / 222.1 - WOW! Controlling what I put in my body makes a huge difference … something I need to remember. Opportunity to eat out before and after our roundtrip to my son’s home to help move furniture. Instead of lunch out for burgers & fries at a new place DH & I made open faced sandwich and a few olives for salty. Returning from my son’s we almost went to an Italian restaurant but came home cooked a steak and romaine lettuce on the grill with a homemade lemon parmesan thyme dressing.
    📚 tonight + strength training today 40 min. AF ✔️

    Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Actual Weight: 220.5 - BMI 39.1
    Challenge Weight Loss: 6
    🎯 Getting back on the bike, water and watching what I eat always pays off focusing Thurs-Sun. I need to remember this when my schedule goes crazy like it did in the earlier part of the week! I was able to bounce back. Aug 10 last Saturday I was in the 222 range but then let life happen and it slipped away. The old me would have avoided the scale at all cost after Wed after a really bad eating day and travel. But I did the daily stepping on registered it and moved on. Yeah me! It was mostly temporary due to time in a car and eating out processed food / sodium … so I had hoped I could reel it back in and I did. Ignoring things never got me anywhere. Got back down again not letting my weekend dictate slacking off. Full steam ahead started on Thursday and it paid off for my weekly weigh in. Now to not let up or slip up! I have dinner with book club ladies Monday and Wednesday night at restaurants this next week.

    8/20: 220.9 / 221.6 - Okay into the stretch shooting for the teens! Bike 30 min, water 80 oz. ✔️
    8/21: 221.3 / 221.3 - Today will be challenging. Driving to care for my granddaughter. Eating out lunch and dinner. Leaving at 9am returning at 9pm. Mexican food and chips temptation at bookclub. 📚 Dined out at Mexican restaurant for both lunch and& dinner. Tried to keep my portions down and not eat everything on my plate and counted chips. Did not order any rice, beans, etc and ate only 2 of 3 enchiladas at lunch and half order of quesadillas at dinner. AF. No exercise Wednesday but lots of water. ✔️
    8/22: 220.8 / 220.9 - Prep day for procedure only clear liquids which thank goodness includes black coffee, tea, chicken broth. Alcohol Free (AF)! Still feeling full from all the chicken enchiladas and chicken quesadillas yesterday. Met with design team on remodeling our downstairs. Next week we meet with the contractors and appliance people. Lunch out with DD & DH. While they ate I sipped on my chicken broth in a Yeti cup that kept it warm for the trip and more water. No exercise but plenty of water.✔️
    8/23: 219.3 / 220.3 - Lacking sleep. This is definitely not a diet to lose weight!!! Love that I touched the teens but positive it is a temporary loss. Scheduled Colonoscopy & Endoscopy. Results are fine. No exercise, lots of water, regular meals. Slept most of the afternoon. ✔️
    8/24: 223.4 / 221.0 - I knew it would be up from yesterday’s low but this is ridiculous! Still resting no exercise, lots of water. Not snacking and meals have not been that bad but did indulge in ice cream after dinner when watching a movie.
    8/25: 222.0 / 221.2 - Cannot believe how off kilter I am on the scale … you would think after a colonoscopy the numbers would be down. Dinner at my son’s cancelled since DIL is sick. Bike 30 min.
    8/26: 221.8 / 221.4 - Glad the number is coming back down but disappointed that I let it get out of hand. Not really sure why or what happened. Driving 2+ hr to pick up my granddaughter so she can spend the days and nights here so my son can work and my DIL can recover from fever, upper respiratory infection, etc … she needs rest, fluids, antibiotics. Walked outside 1/4 mile with stroller.✔️

    Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Glass of water before coffee ✔️
    Actual Weight: 221.8
    GAINED this week: 1.3
    Challenge Weight Loss: 4.5
    🎯 Disappointed that I let it get out of hand. Not really sure why or what happened. I didn’t snack but were my portions larger than I thought? Need to focus on journaling every bite again.

    8/27: 220.2 / 220.9 - Finally back down to 220 again. Maybe my body has finally rid itself of all the bloat after the colonoscopy. Now to continue and break through the 220s! Granddaughter duty today. No exercise. Did not journal my food at all … not one single bite.
    8/28: 220.5 / 220.8 - Okay today focus! Not traveling today and no granddaughter duty since my son said he would stay home and work and care for her so I don’t have to make the drive again. Bike 30 min, lacked water and still not journaling.
    8/29: 221.1 / 220.7 - No excuses today! Bike 30 min
    8/30: 220.3 / 220.5 - Plans to bike, menu plan, grocery shop, drink more water! No bike. UTI so meds and water!
    8/31: 219.7 / 220.1 - Plans to bike … and today I will just do it! Plenty of water in my plan as well. 2nd time seeing 219.x! Can I keep the scale from slipping up again into the 220s and soon mark it off as a scale victory? To check it off my list I need to see it multiple days in a row … so here we got trying to hold on to 219 through the weekend!
    9/1:
    9/2:

    Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Journal every bite! ✔️

    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 43-08/30-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) No weigh Friday. I fixed a nice “normal” (includes more carbs) style dinner last night for myself, DS, DD and DGS. It included some extra carbs in the form of a starchier veggie and a side of pasta as the DGS and autistic DS will both eat that. I also had some caramel corn later out of my daughter’s mobile stash. A new product from an Amish store and my curiosity got the best of me! My own choice and my own fault. I hope to have a good day today so that my weight tomorrow will not be so affected. However, it is a holiday weekend and there are some plans in place. Stay safe everyone!

    Day 44-08/31-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I was disrupted and woke up earlier than I wanted to roll out of my bed (still in the living room) this morning by DD and DGS. Didn’t get the weigh-in done which is in my mudroom since my bathroom is down as part of the reno. I’m likely going out of town today to get my oil changed since I’m nearly 7000 miles over limit and it’s being used to haul trailers full of very heavy wood and supplies. I haven’t had a free day to do it lately. Dinner will most likely be out so I may just skip weight tomorrow too and weigh in a couple of days from now. The whole month of August seems to have been turned upside down and then tipped on its ear. I’m hoping, after today, to make the rest of this holiday weekend be less about food and more about rest. I’m just so tired. We shall see how it all pans out.

    Hi : - )
    I am Dawn.
    5'2"
    63 and will turn 64 during this 100
    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 - Start weight of the previous 100
    Week 1 actual weight: 148.0 - Started the week at 147.2

    Week 2 Goal: 147s
    Week 2 actual weight: 147.8 - Started the week at 148.2

    Week 3 Goal: 146s
    Week 3 actual weight: 147.8 - Started the week at 147.6

    Week 4 Goal: back to 147.2 and lower
    Week 4 actual weight: 146.4 -Started the week at 147.2

    Week 5 Goal: 145.6 - Start weight of the 2 ago 100 days challenge
    Week 5 actual weight: 146.6 - Started the week at 145.6

    Week 6 Goal: 145.6
    Week 6 actual weight: 145.2 - Started the week at 146.0

    Day 43—08/30 – 145.6 - Trying to sleep until 9am before/after longer work days. I normally don't leave for work until Saturday at 3:30, but was offered an extra shift at my day job restaurant Saturday morning, so I will be doing that. Finally the weather will be back to seasonal, but I will be inside all day, no tan on my legs lol. I have Sunday off, and finish at 8 both tonight and tomorrow, so all good. I am going to need a refeed, I have only been able to get around 1,000 calories a day this past week. '
    Day 44—08/31 – 146.2 - Calories and exercise were on point, but I had 2 black russians last night. Alcohol is definitely bad for weight loss. Having said that, tonight after my 2 jobs I plan on having more, + nachos. Just heading into the garden to cut stuff for that much later.
    Day 45—09/01 –
    Day 46—09/02 –
    Day 47—09/03 –
    Day 48—09/04 -
    Day 49—09/05 –

    Week 7 Goal: Still thinking about this.
    Week 7 actual weight: Started the week at 145.6

    Started the 100 at 147.2

    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. Skipped all exercise instead this Wednesday. First time in the red since I had not activity to burn off extra calories. 1228 cal and 70 net carbs. Felt so awfully full in the evening that I had to stretch out and go to bed early. Journaled and 80 oz water.
    8/1: 224.4 / 225.0 - Feeling good this morning but still have an uncomfortably full sensation. Otherwise feel normal. Negative Covid test! Biked 30 72+ oz water. Journaled a big bowl of red beans and rice but the surprise was the 31 carbs in my store bought prepackaged salad! Roundtrip 3 hours to north part of Houston to watch my granddaughter for 2 hrs. DH is considering moving to be closer.
    8/2: 224.1 / 224.5 - Today’s focus … after my exercise class … prep for the party. Buying everything for the charcuterie board I’m making for the party, bake dark chocolate brownies, an then picking up wine & special iced cookies for the party tomorrow. The other grandmother is having tea sandwiches made, buying a dip, wine, variety of sparkling waters and she hired someone to act as bartender and to keep the place picked up during the party (la-di-da but that is how she rolls in her world … the party is at her house in a very nice upscale area inside Houston).
    Only did 20 min of my strength training class because I became dizzy and almost fainted. Had to lay down. Journaled. 72+ oz water.
    8/3: 224.8 / 224.4 - Not at all surprised by the up tic on the scale. Lunch out with my daughter yesterday and though we split the meal I let her order … chips with spinach artichoke dip, chicken strips, French fries. Nothing healthy about it! Then I ate brownies because they made a crumbled mess out of the pan and didn’t get a clean square … probably ate 2.
    Today I need to be a little more cautious in my eating! Sip & See for my new granddaughter. Myself and the other grandmother are hosting a large party of our lady friends (45-50) to meet all 3 of my grandchildren. No exercise, no journal but did drink my water. Didn’t eat anything at the party but did have a slice of brisket at my son’s and a cookie when I returned home.
    8/4: 223.5 / 223.9 - Nothing planned today but the bike and painting. May get out and weed some though the heat is stifling. Way too much charcuterie and cookie leftovers in the house. DH & I could have charcuterie for lunch or dinner every day this week LOL
    Bike 30 min, water definitely but not sure of the oz, no journal.
    8/5: 223.7 / 223.7 - I successfully made my goal this week!!!
    20 min strength training, not enough water and no journaling.

    Weekly Goal: Obese stage 2 BMI 39.9 @ <225 No longer 🚫 morbidly obese!
    Actual Weight: 223.7 - BMI 39.7
    Challenge Weight Loss: 2.9
    🎯 I moved out of Morbidly obese stage 3 and into obese stage 2! ✔️
    Now to work my way down to obese stage 1 around 197 but I’ll first have to hit many milestones to get there.
    NSV - I “slid” my cellphone into my front pocket of my pants with lots of room to spare. (Aug 2024) ✔️


    8/6: 224.6 / 223.8 - Bike 30 min, no journal.
    8/7: 223.4 / 223.5 - No planned exercise for Wed! Need to focus on water. Though I’m not journaling my portion control has been spot on and no time for snacking the last few days.
    8/8: 223.5 / 223.4 - Bike 30 min, water, but only half journaling and way over my net carb limit of <100 due to snacking on crackers.
    8/9: 224.4 / 223.5 - Strength training 40 min, water, but still no journaling.
    8/10: 222.9 / 223.2 - No exercise or journaling.
    8/11: 224.2 / 223.4 - No exercise or journaling.
    8/12: 223.0 / 223.2 - Pre-journaled my food plan. Slight change in food plan for lunch. No exercise … forgot how time consuming a 2 month old is!

    Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Actual Weight: 223.0
    Challenge Weight Loss: xx
    🎯 Many poor food choices, no journaling for the entire week, exercise also thrown off since DD & grandkids stayed with us while her husband had pneumonia. Cannot let grandkids be the reason I regain the weight like 2022!

    8/13: 223.3 / 223.1 - No exercise, no journaling
    8/14: 223.8 / 223.2 - Travel day round trip to granddaughter’s ~3 hrs and caring for her today. Bad food choices, no journaling, no exercise, lacked water.
    8/15: 225.1 / 223.7 - Bike 30, no journal and lacked water. I have today all to myself … so plenty of time to work on my own goals, exercise and make great decisions!
    8/16: 223.5 / 223.6 - Thought that spike might have been temporary. Glad to see the number come back down! Baby duty today for my 2 month old. She starts daycare on Monday. So I’m planning to enjoy all the snuggles I can get though I will miss my strength training class. No exercise or journaling and still need to work on water. But my meals were barely there … like I took some turkey deli meat and that was it for lunch. Not one single snack all day!
    8/17: 222.8 / 223.4 - Good the trend is going back down! Tonight I babysit but today is mine for exercise and painting. Bike 30 min and drank more water.
    8/18: 222.3 / 223.0 - Today roundtrip car trip to my son’s to help unload and move furniture they bought. My goal is to bike this morning since we don’t have to be there until noon. DH & I decided to eat at home for both lunch and dinner and it makes a huge difference. No snacking. 30 min bike! 80+ oz water.
    8/19: 220.5 / 222.1 - WOW! Controlling what I put in my body makes a huge difference … something I need to remember. Opportunity to eat out before and after our roundtrip to my son’s home to help move furniture. Instead of lunch out for burgers & fries at a new place DH & I made open faced sandwich and a few olives for salty. Returning from my son’s we almost went to an Italian restaurant but came home cooked a steak and romaine lettuce on the grill with a homemade lemon parmesan thyme dressing.
    📚 tonight + strength training today 40 min. AF ✔️

    Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Actual Weight: 220.5 - BMI 39.1
    Challenge Weight Loss: 6
    🎯 Getting back on the bike, water and watching what I eat always pays off focusing Thurs-Sun. I need to remember this when my schedule goes crazy like it did in the earlier part of the week! I was able to bounce back. Aug 10 last Saturday I was in the 222 range but then let life happen and it slipped away. The old me would have avoided the scale at all cost after Wed after a really bad eating day and travel. But I did the daily stepping on registered it and moved on. Yeah me! It was mostly temporary due to time in a car and eating out processed food / sodium … so I had hoped I could reel it back in and I did. Ignoring things never got me anywhere. Got back down again not letting my weekend dictate slacking off. Full steam ahead started on Thursday and it paid off for my weekly weigh in. Now to not let up or slip up! I have dinner with book club ladies Monday and Wednesday night at restaurants this next week.

    8/20: 220.9 / 221.6 - Okay into the stretch shooting for the teens! Bike 30 min, water 80 oz. ✔️
    8/21: 221.3 / 221.3 - Today will be challenging. Driving to care for my granddaughter. Eating out lunch and dinner. Leaving at 9am returning at 9pm. Mexican food and chips temptation at bookclub. 📚 Dined out at Mexican restaurant for both lunch and& dinner. Tried to keep my portions down and not eat everything on my plate and counted chips. Did not order any rice, beans, etc and ate only 2 of 3 enchiladas at lunch and half order of quesadillas at dinner. AF. No exercise Wednesday but lots of water. ✔️
    8/22: 220.8 / 220.9 - Prep day for procedure only clear liquids which thank goodness includes black coffee, tea, chicken broth. Alcohol Free (AF)! Still feeling full from all the chicken enchiladas and chicken quesadillas yesterday. Met with design team on remodeling our downstairs. Next week we meet with the contractors and appliance people. Lunch out with DD & DH. While they ate I sipped on my chicken broth in a Yeti cup that kept it warm for the trip and more water. No exercise but plenty of water.✔️
    8/23: 219.3 / 220.3 - Lacking sleep. This is definitely not a diet to lose weight!!! Love that I touched the teens but positive it is a temporary loss. Scheduled Colonoscopy & Endoscopy. Results are fine. No exercise, lots of water, regular meals. Slept most of the afternoon. ✔️
    8/24: 223.4 / 221.0 - I knew it would be up from yesterday’s low but this is ridiculous! Still resting no exercise, lots of water. Not snacking and meals have not been that bad but did indulge in ice cream after dinner when watching a movie.
    8/25: 222.0 / 221.2 - Cannot believe how off kilter I am on the scale … you would think after a colonoscopy the numbers would be down. Dinner at my son’s cancelled since DIL is sick. Bike 30 min.
    8/26: 221.8 / 221.4 - Glad the number is coming back down but disappointed that I let it get out of hand. Not really sure why or what happened. Driving 2+ hr to pick up my granddaughter so she can spend the days and nights here so my son can work and my DIL can recover from fever, upper respiratory infection, etc … she needs rest, fluids, antibiotics. Walked outside 1/4 mile with stroller.✔️

    Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Glass of water before coffee ✔️
    Actual Weight: 221.8
    GAINED this week: 1.3
    Challenge Weight Loss: 4.5
    🎯 Disappointed that I let it get out of hand. Not really sure why or what happened. I didn’t snack but were my portions larger than I thought? Need to focus on journaling every bite again.

    8/27: 220.2 / 220.9 - Finally back down to 220 again. Maybe my body has finally rid itself of all the bloat after the colonoscopy. Now to continue and break through the 220s! Granddaughter duty today. No exercise. Did not journal my food at all … not one single bite.
    8/28: 220.5 / 220.8 - Okay today focus! Not traveling today and no granddaughter duty since my son said he would stay home and work and care for her so I don’t have to make the drive again. Bike 30 min, lacked water and still not journaling.
    8/29: 221.1 / 220.7 - No excuses today! Bike 30 min
    8/30: 220.3 / 220.5 - Plans to bike, menu plan, grocery shop, drink more water! No bike. UTI so meds and water!
    8/31: 219.7 / 220.1 - Plans to bike … and today I will just do it! Plenty of water in my plan as well. 2nd time seeing 219.x! Can I keep the scale from slipping up again into the 220s and soon mark it off as a scale victory? To check it off my list I need to see it multiple days in a row … so here we got trying to hold on to 219 through the weekend! Biked 30 min. Snacking go to me for the first time in a while during the afternoon.
    9/1: 220.1 / 220.0 - Bounced back into the 220s. Darn!
    9/2:

    Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Journal every bite! ✔️

    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 43-08/30-

    Day 44-08/31-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I was disrupted and woke up earlier than I wanted to roll out of my bed (still in the living room) this morning by DD and DGS. Didn’t get the weigh-in done which is in my mudroom since my bathroom is down as part of the reno. I’m likely going out of town today to get my oil changed since I’m nearly 7000 miles over limit and it’s being used to haul trailers full of very heavy wood and supplies. I haven’t had a free day to do it lately. Dinner will most likely be out so I may just skip weight tomorrow too and weigh in a couple of days from now. The whole month of August seems to have been turned upside down and then tipped on its ear. I’m hoping, after today, to make the rest of this holiday weekend be less about food and more about rest. I’m just so tired. We shall see how it all pans out.

    Day 45- 09/01 I got my grocery shopping done out of town and eliminated some of the “approved” snacks that were just too tempting. Will there be more eliminated later? Maybe, but it’s a start. I hate how much harder it is to breathe and also maneuver steps into the house with the grocery bags when these extra pounds are on. Incentive! I will likely post a weight tomorrow.

    Hi, Folks! My name is Darin, and this is my 3rd 100 days challenge (non-consecutive). I do better when I am obligated to post daily – it really makes a difference for me – and I love the community aspect. I’m looking forward to another great 100d!

    Starting Weight: 159.2
    Day 01--07/19 – 159.2 My company was affected by the Crowdstrike problem. I spent all day on hold with IT. My computer is finally working, but it’s after an entire wasted day. Note to self: next time there’s a system-wide failure, just leave the computer and do something fun instead. It wasn’t worth hanging around my work computer, looking at messages come in. I could have had a nice day of paint-by-numbers! Well, that’s my weekend.
    Day 02—07/20 – 158.6 Happy Weekend! I hope y’all are doing well. I’m so glad to have some time to relax and putter around the house. Also in charge of dinner for tonight, so will try to come up with something satisfying but healthy.
    Day 03—07/21 –159.6 mixed results for last night. I made a kung pao chicken noodle dish which turned out very good, but I also baked cookies which were not part of the plan. So four cookies later, I had nulled out any positivity from the dinner.
    Day 04—07/22 –159.9 COOKIES. Too many cookies! Stopped at four yesterday straight out of the oven. But cookie breakfast AND snack isn’t the way I want to go. I also feel kind of bleh afterwards – I think it’s just the empty calories/sugar. Logging it all, though. No matter what!
    Day 05—07/23 –159.2 Hard to focus at work today. Migraine did not help matters at all.
    Day 06—07/24 –158.6 Almost done with week 1! We’re walking early in the day due to the heat. Tonight it’s back to trivia. We won first place last week, so it remains to be seen how well we do tonight 😊
    Day 07—07/25 –158.7 Got 4th place yesterday in trivia. Boo! Next time around…. Looking forward to Friday tomorrow. My husband bought some apple fritters which are now in the house. It’s going to be hard to do that in moderation!
    Week 1 Goal: 158.2
    Week 1 actual weight: 158.7

    Day 08—07/26 –159.2 Moderately stressful Friday today. So glad it’s the weekend.
    Day 09—07/27 –158.7 Got a haircut and did some paint-by-numbers today. Looking forward to a gentle Sunday 😊
    Day 10—07/28 –158.3
    Day 11—07/29 –158.5
    Day 12—07/30 –158.0 terrible night last night – have some kind of stomach bug. On the up side I’m not that hungry. ON the downside, lots of GI problems right now.
    Day 13—07/31 –159.0 Feeling better and think that the weight is due to the salty soup I ate for dinner yesterday. Had a fairly productive day today, though. Lilylady3k I love it! Your calendar is the tops!
    Day 14—08/01 –158.0 Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. Long, tough workday today. At least got the walk out of the way early in the very humid day.
    Week 2 Goal: 156.2
    Week 2 actual weight: 158.0

    Day 15—08/02 –158.6 survived the workday. Looking forward to a peaceful weekend ahead. One of the activities is taking my mom out for birthday dinner, so that’ll be a real test of moderation.
    Day 16—08/03 –156.9 Woot! Maybe I’m out of the 158s now? That would be super. I’ve been hanging out there for some time now. Had a lovely day of painting and playing around, then cooked a nice dinner for Josh and me – it wasn’t calorie-conscious, but I only ate one serving 😊 There’s a berry cheesecake defrosting, though, so I’m going to have to be very wary around that!!!
    Day 17—08/04 –157.0 That cheesecake was delicious. It was hard to keep it to one serving! I was very close to just saying “too delicious for just one slice” lol. It’s still in the fridge, though – so if I can hold it together for the rest of the day, maybe I can have another slice. *maybe*
    Day 18—08/05 –157.8 Eating out yesterday plus the cheesecake equalled a bit of a slide backwards. But today I’ve been doing okay. Going to give that last slice of cheesecake to my husband – he’ll appreciate that!
    Day 19—08/06 –158.4 Well all good intentions, my husband ended up giving me back the cheesecake slice. I swore, then I ate it. So the scale is definitely deserved.
    Day 20—08/07 –157.4 Going out to play trivia tonight! Looking forward to a little relaxation at the local tavern. They have a “design your own salad” option that I’m very much anticipating.
    Day 21—08/08 –158.1 and I opted to have a hot dog and tater tots instead of salad. Whoops. We got second place at trivia, though, so it was a sweet victory! Okay next time I’m getting the salad. Non-scout’s honor.
    Week 3 Goal: 155.2
    Week 3 actual weight: 158.1

    Day 22—08/09 –158.1 Another work week done. Soooo looking forward to some R&R! going to try to fit in some extra walking this weekend if not a trip to the gym. Also donating platelets on Sunday, which I try to do at least monthly.
    Day 23—08/10 –157.3 It was very hot and humid today, so we skipped our walk. Tomorrow will get up early to exercise and hope to beat the heat. looneycatblue I take iron supplements daily to help with my levels. It took a while of taking them to get stabilized – a few weeks might not be enough prep time for you.
    Day 24—08/11 –157.6
    Day 25—08/12 –159.3 CMON. I did donate platelets on Sunday, beforewhich I got breakfast at McDonald’s. That might have been a reason for this jump. It was a lot of salt and fat and calories! Well will try to hold things together this week…
    Day 26—08/13 –159.5
    Day 27—08/14 –159.2 Okay I’ll admit that I’m a bit discouraged and have had a hard time keeping to a eating regimen. I’m going to try to pull it back in though.
    Day 28—08/15 –158.1
    Week 4 Goal: 153.2
    Week 4 actual weight:158.1


    Day 29—08/16 –157.7 I needed to take a break from hawking over MFP, so I had a nice, moderate dinner at Texas Roadhouse yesterday evening, and had some leftovers today. It feels like the scale is tipping back in the right direction, so there’s at least that.
    Day 30—08/17 –156.5
    Day 31—08/18 –155.9
    Day 32—08/19 –157.4 back and forth a bit. My portion sizes are good, even if sometimes my selections aren’t the best (hello shrimp scampi and spaghetti noodles). Had a girls’ night in on Saturday and did well there too (Mediterranean food).
    Day 33—08/20 –156.3 I hope y’all are doing well! It’s okay over here. Tough couple of work days made worse with migraine flaring yesterday. Still coming out of it… And yes, Texas Roadhouse! It's super indulgent (that bread!) and an "only once in a while" treat for me and my husband. :-)
    Day 34—08/21 –156.7 So had an adventure in IT today.
    Day 35—08/22 –156.9
    Week 5 Goal: n/a
    Week 5 actual weight: 156.9

    Day 36—08/23 –157.2 It’s been a tough couple of migraine days. And, let’s face it, “it tastes good” days. And not even for high-value quality food, either! That’s the worst part. If I was having a nosh on some bacon or some cheesecake that’d be one thing. But eating a serving of leftovers because I enjoyed it? Not the level I want to be hanging out on. At least if I’m going over on calories let’s have it be for something that’s worth it.
    Day 37—08/24 –157.1
    Day 38—08/25 –157.1
    Day 39—08/26 –156.9 slightly down. Looking over August I haven’t done great… but will just have to have a great September! We can do this!!!
    Day 40—08/27 –156.7 very determined to have a great September 😊 going to make sure I’m logging everything (I’ve been slacking) and up the activity. I really hate, hate, hate new years resolutions. I figure if you want to make a change, just make it already! So my non-new years resolution is to take better care of myself. dawnbgethealthy I am sensitive to pressure changes too. I get migraines if there are sudden drops or rises - and being tired is one of the symptoms. I used to call my brain a barometer because gosh help us if we're in danger of a hurricane!
    Day 41—08/28 –156.5 long day, but had a great session with my therapist, and we’re going out to the local tavern to play trivia tonight. So will try to eat in moderation while there 😊
    Day 42—08/29 –157.0 did well at the pub, not great at the trivia 😊 I had an unhealthy hot dog with fries but cut the entire plate in half and couldn’t even finish the half I was going to eat. So there’s at least that. Note to self: hot dog with chili and coleslaw doesn’t reheat so great.
    Week 6 Goal:
    Week 6 actual weight:157.0
    Day 43—08/30 –156.7 TGIF! And a long weekend to boot! I’m excited. We have some shopping ahead, and some walking in nature, and some socializing ahead! I have way too many apples so will be making either a crisp or a pie – so will have to give away most of it 😉 Oh, and I forgot a fantasy football draft on Monday - we're going to grill out ahead of time (going to put some yummy veg on the grill).
    Day 44—08/31 –155.8 I’m a little surprised by this but keeping calm – I think I’m dehydrated. So I’ll make sure I’m drinking enough water to level things out. Already have had a nice walk (check!) and am about to do a tad bit of work (can’t wait to check this one off), then off for some shopping.
    Day 45—09/01 –156.0 No more work this long weekend! Had a relaxing day yesterday – cleaned the master bathroom, played some games, cooked dinner (pepper chicken, turned out great!). While the chicken wasn’t the healthiest flex (chicken was fried before it was tossed in stir fry sauce), it was delicious, and I held myself to one serving. So I’d call that a success.

    Hi : - )
    I am Dawn.
    5'2"
    63 and will turn 64 during this 100
    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 - Start weight of the previous 100
    Week 1 actual weight: 148.0 - Started the week at 147.2

    Week 2 Goal: 147s
    Week 2 actual weight: 147.8 - Started the week at 148.2

    Week 3 Goal: 146s
    Week 3 actual weight: 147.8 - Started the week at 147.6

    Week 4 Goal: back to 147.2 and lower
    Week 4 actual weight: 146.4 -Started the week at 147.2

    Week 5 Goal: 145.6 - Start weight of the 2 ago 100 days challenge
    Week 5 actual weight: 146.6 - Started the week at 145.6

    Week 6 Goal: 145.6
    Week 6 actual weight: 145.2 - Started the week at 146.0

    Day 43—08/30 – 145.6 - Trying to sleep until 9am before/after longer work days. I normally don't leave for work until Saturday at 3:30, but was offered an extra shift at my day job restaurant Saturday morning, so I will be doing that. Finally the weather will be back to seasonal, but I will be inside all day, no tan on my legs lol. I have Sunday off, and finish at 8 both tonight and tomorrow, so all good. I am going to need a refeed, I have only been able to get around 1,000 calories a day this past week. '
    Day 44—08/31 – 146.2 - Calories and exercise were on point, but I had 2 black russians last night. Alcohol is definitely bad for weight loss. Having said that, tonight after my 2 jobs I plan on having more, + nachos. Just heading into the garden to cut stuff for that much later.
    Day 45—09/01 – 146.8 - Late in posting today. Got both sides of the backyard and side yard grass cut. Went shopping. Kind of an indulgent weekend plan, only one 4 hour job tomorrow because of the stat, and Tuesday off. Loosening the reins. I barely get enough calories during my 3 quite long workdays, and not much better on the other 2. Too late for a meal when I get home. Today, Monday, and Tuesday I am going to have actual dinners. Also just made a gin and lemonade after coming in from the sun. Perfect indulgence for me.
