Day 29—08/16 – 211.8 -Dog to the vet. Out for Mexican food last night. Ate too much (stress).
Day 30—08/17 – 210.7 - Feels good to see that number. Birthday today, so Chinese & tiny cheesecake.

Heaviest: 182
Starting Weight: 171.2 (as of 7/17/24)
Round GW: 169.8
UGW: 150.0
Week 1 Goal: 168.4
Week 1 actual weight: 169.6 (0.6 Gain)
Okay, picking myself back up!
Week 2 Goal: 167.0
Week 2 actual weight: 168.0, Loss 1.6, a little off from goal, but a nice loss for me (I lose very slow)
Week 3 Goal: 167.0
Week 3 actual weight: 169.8, Gain 1.8
Week 4 Goal: 167.0
Week 4 actual weight: 165.8, Loss 4.0
Day 29—08/16 – 166.6, don't stick to the plan, and this is what happens!
Day 30—08/17 – 165.6, rough day, some personal family stuff yesterday, but stayed strong and stuck to the plan!
Day 31—08/18 – 164.6, so happy with this. Tomorrow might be another story, we are BBQing today.
Day 32—08/19 – 163.8. Today I might be in the danger zone, I didn't sleep much last night and am really tired today... when this happens I tend to snack more. Snacking is okay, just need to make sure it is not cookies and other junk food!
Day 33—08/20 – 164.0 I did okay foodwise, and all, expected. I think my body needs some time to adjust to the new 160's. 0.2 lbs, is equivalent to about 4 oz of water, and our bodies are 50-70% water, just for perspective. (from my "Google" research
)
Just noticed, we are already a third of the way through!
Day 34—08/21 – 165.2
Whatever!!! I ate right, didn't consume A (although tempted), got my steps in... I'm going to chalk it up to retaining water, dinner was a bit on the salty side, Mac & Cheese, Turkey Polska Kielbasa, Salad with light dressing... Could be my body is just still adjusting. Sticking to the plan today, and less sodium.
Day 35—08/22 – 164.6, happy to see it going back down. I got home late last night, after work, gym, cats, shower, etc., then finally dinner (grits & eggs). I was afraid that eating so late the scale would show a gain. Lucky Me!
Week 5 Goal: 164.0
Week 5 actual weight: 164.6, loss 1.2 My losing streak is really slowing down. That's okay, this is not a race... sticking with the plan!4 -

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. ✔️

Round #20---
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 34-08/21-187.0-(Trend weight 190.5)
Day 35-08/22-189.8-(Trend weight 190.5) Well I guess it’s pretty clear that my weight will drop down dramatically to what is probably my true weight when I take my Lasix and will jump up just as dramatically on the days that I don’t which reflects all the fluid that pools around my calves, tummy and ankles due to my heart issues. It’s so hard to tell how much is real fat gain when this happens because I have only been stopping the pill when I need to travel or be away from home for any length of time. So how much is the fluid which I can visually see and feel and how much is the restaurant lunch out and all the car sitting/lack of movement? It’s frustrating, but y’all are bound to see me on this rollercoaster. Thanks for riding it with me! As we end this week today it does make my numbers a little meaningless. I do hate that. The whole point is to be accountable and where do you begin when you don’t even know where you are truly at? The fluid fluctuates at 1.5 go 5.0 pounds on any given day and is inconsistent! All I can do is know that I need to lose more weight and keep plugging away even though I can’t rely on the numbers to really mean anything. I have a stretch here of non-Lasix days, yesterday for the far medical testing and specialist appointment, today as I will be gone most of the afternoon with my two oldest DGS’s getting their haircuts and taking them out to lunch, and Saturday for a DGD’s birthday party about an hour from here where there will be all the usual party fare. So I will be bloated for sure and unable to take the Lasix all of those days. It’s not just about what I do or don’t eat anymore or how much I will be sitting. On Sunday my plan is to stay home, take the medication and spend all day in the bathroom, but being home will give me a chance to really watch my diet too. I will aim for IF and a very low carb and low calorie day although Foodie daughter will be here. I am going to warn her, threaten her if I have too LOL.

Day 36-08/23-190.0-(Trend weight 190.4) Neurologist called and said I have borderline damage from diabetes to my feet. He said that was good news. No surgery or treatments necessary at this time. I don’t need to see him again unless problems get worse. Finally some good news! I'm still working on the snack issues. While I’m still on the struggle bus with many of you, my attitude is good and I’m really appreciating all the support. Tomorrow is a birthday party so I will try to make today a good day since I’m finally home all day. I started with my Youtube workout this morning which is a step in the right direction. What I can, when I can and always striving for improvement!

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

Day 36—08/23 – 146.0 - I have picked a week from the 52 small healthy habits, week 4, 10 pushups in the morning. I really suck at pushups, so thought that would be a good start. Did them from my knees, but I sure can't get down very far towards the floor. Hoping that will improve over 7 days. Today will be a long one between the 2 jobs since there is Karaoke at the bar tonight and I will be staying there for 8 hours after my day job.

@dawnbgethealthy Sounds like a great start to a very long day for you! You motivated me to take a look at the link and pick one:)
@looneycatblue I love grits and eggs! I especially like putting a sunny side up egg on top of the grits and then mixing it in.
@Lilylady3k Hope your procedure goes well today.

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: 159.2Day 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 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 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

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 36—08/23 – 146.0 - I have picked a week from the 52 small healthy habits, week 4, 10 pushups in the morning. I really suck at pushups, so thought that would be a good start. Did them from my knees, but I sure can't get down very far towards the floor. Hoping that will improve over 7 days. Today will be a long one between the 2 jobs since there is Karaoke at the bar tonight and I will be staying there for 8 hours after my day job.
@dawnbgethealthy - Great idea! I'm having trouble with my knees and my strength training class teacher recommended doing them against the wall. So that could be an option until you build up strength in your arms!

Day 36—08/23 – 64.9 kg. Have been occupied with a family crisis the last few days so did not weigh or track let alone post - just grabbing whatever was quick and convenient. And it shows! Things are looking much more positive now, so looking to get back on track.
Day 37—08/24 – 64.8 kg. Every little bit counts. Now I'm thinking that in just under 2 weeks we'll be at the halfway point in the Challenge - and when we reach the end of the Challenge we'll be rapidly heading for the holiday season. I need to figure out how to cope with all the fancy foods and feasting, or I'll be making the same New Year resolution for the umpteenth time in a row.

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!

Dawn, you asked if I was going on a trip? YES!!!
Flying down to Dripping Springs, Tx, where I'll finally meet 7 other ladies from a private MFP group. A few of us initially met on e-diets ( early 2000's), then we moved over to Spark People, and when that forum eliminated non-Amercan members, we re-formed over here on MFP. The group have gotten together in the past but I've never joined them. I met Cindy and her husband when they came up to Penticton last year to do the KVR bike ride; I'd hoped to also participate but was unable to.
Wednesday morning I fly out of Kelowna to Vancouver, Denver then on to Austin, where Cindy picks us up. We'll spend 4 days hanging out poolside, visiting, touring wineries and distilleries, a bit of shopping and of course taking in a BBQ etc. Fly back to Kelowna Sunday.
Then I get serious about fitness and wt loss, again
and become more active posting etc.
Have only been out paddling 4 times this year!
Wish you lived closer to Kelowna so we could meet for coffee.

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 36-08/23-190.0-(Trend weight 190.4) Neurologist called and said I have borderline damage from diabetes to my feet. He said that was good news. No surgery or treatments necessary at this time. I don’t need to see him again unless problems get worse. Finally some good news! I'm still working on the snack issues. While I’m still on the struggle bus with many of you, my attitude is good and I’m really appreciating all the support. Tomorrow is a birthday party so I will try to make today a good day since I’m finally home all day. I started with my Youtube workout this morning which is a step in the right direction. What I can, when I can and always striving for improvement!
Day 37-08/24-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) No-weigh Saturday this week instead of Friday. I forgot to take my Fosamax yesterday so I took it this morning. Good meals yesterday but snacks were bad. I can’t blame my daughter this time (although she had her totes and bags of candy with her). It was all my own fault this time as I over-ate my snacks alone. I did manage to avoid hers. Today is DGD’s birthday party. I’ll travel about 60 miles each way. I probably won’t bother to weigh tomorrow as I already know how the party food and my inability to take my Lasix will affect me. Pointless. I’ll be back on board Monday for sure.
