    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!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

    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.

    9/3: 220.6 / 220.2 - No art class today. DH started auditing graduate level Math Economics classes at Rice Univ on Tues & Thurs (w/ labs Tues night & Friday day). So I have plenty of time to myself today for exercise, weeding, reading and painting. Last week before I start volunteer teaching ESL to adults Tues & Thurs. Need to do some prep. Doesn't look like there are enough volunteers so we don't have co-teachers to share the load. My co-teacher is going through experimental research for her cancer ... situation is not good. ✔️
    9/4:
    9/5:
    9/6: Girls weekend with old college friends ... need to wrap my head around food and drink before diving into the situation.
    9/7:
    9/8:
    9/9:

    Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
    Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Water before coffee ✔️

    Sept 3rd: 176.8 <-- blaming this on all those Texan BBQ's, wine and fabulous food! Awesome to meet everyone in person; Chris and I first connected on E-diets, then we moved over to Spark People where I met the other 6. However my cousin's cancer has really blown up and he was moved into Hospice last week. I'll be repacking and leaving today for a long ( 6 hr) road trip to visit him. Taking a load of boxes to my friend (it was her mom's house we packed up last month) where I'll be staying tonite.

    Until Thurs morning,
    Lynn

    @lynn_w I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin. I am praying for their comfort.

    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.
    Day 46—09/02 –156.5 Okay, yesterday went *okay*. Had a taco salad for dinner last night and didn’t eat too much of the tortilla bowl, and also didn’t finish it. Last day of my long weekend – I’m a little sad! But going to see the in=laws today and grill out for dinner before the Fantasy Football draft. As mentioned earlier, will be grilling a lot of fun vegetables. My allergies and migraine are also going a little nuts as they tend to do with weather changes – we had a front come through yesterday. Hopefully things will stabilize today.
    Day 47—09/03 –157.6 okay I haven’t eaten that healthily lately. Got to get back on the wagon!

    Day 47—09/03 – 169.6 - I haven't posted since Day 21 (Aug 8) due to health issues. I'm 100% recuperated now and glad to be back tracking! I'm not sure what my weight will do over the next week since I lost 8 pounds (from not eating and dehydration) over 2 weeks and then gained 6 pounds back once I had an appetite again. I'm just concentrating on exercising, eating right (and below maintenance), and drinking enough water. :)



    @fmfdfa2020 I'm so happy to see you have overcome and healed from your health issues and are back with us. It's great to "see" you again!

    @tinathescreamer What do you mean by this? " I need to keep at 65 kg or less for the next 2 years or I have to donate $200 to Awful Politician"

    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.
    Day 46—09/02 – 147.6 - 3am weigh-in, so it might be a bit skewed. I was going to try to go back to bed, still might, but up enjoying a nice Italian roast coffee and listening to overnight international radio, which I don't get to do very often and love so much. Treating this as a day off even though I have a 4 hour work shift way later, I don't leave until 10:30am. Calories and exercise were good yesterday, some treats (4 Jane's wings, 2 cocktails), but all within range.
    Day 47—09/03 – 147.2 - Sad to see that I am sitting at my start weight. Very low calories yesterday, had to fake add something to be able to complete the day. Going to a lake today. First weekday off with hot weather, low wind, and zero appointments. I am first going to do some stuff in the yard and porch (like take down the garlic that was hanging to cure and putting it in its box).
    Day 48—09/04 - 147.4 - I got to eat dinner 3 days in a row due to having my night job off for labour day. All good, but I am expecting a nice drop. 10 + hours of work between the 2 jobs today and tomorrow. Wing night at the bar tonight, so hoping to make some $$
    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
