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: 4.8
🎯 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! Today we are having family over for fajitas. No exercise except chasing a toddler. Too much food!
9/2: 220.8 / 220.1 - I need the brownies my sister brought yesterday out of the house! I ate 3 yesterday. Today my goal is not even a nibble. Ate them anyway and they are still not gone! 30 min on bike. Still not journaling.
Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Journal every bite! ✔️ Notice that I didn’t even attempt this habit once this past week. Really becoming a problem.
Actual Weight: 220.8
Challenge Weight Loss: 5.8
🎯 Wasn’t able to hold on to the 219.x after all. I need more discipline in my life.
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. Bike 30 min. ✔️
9/4: 221.7 / 220.6 - Wrong direction! ✔️Drive to babysit granddaughter and birthday celebration dinner for my sister. No exercise.
9/5: 221.0 / 220.7 - Wrong direction! ✔️ Plans to bike today! Biked 30 min.

🎯 I really need to get serious if I want to hit 215 before my birthday at the end of October. I need to get back to journaling every bite. If I don’t get one other thing right this week it needs to be that.
9/10: 220.5 / 221.6 - Busy day ahead … Learn English Ministry volunteer teaching for adults in the community starts back up for today. I teach level 2 out of 4 levels. Then art class after lunch and a sorority alumni craft party this evening in town. Journaled yesterday for the first time in forever! Plans to do that again today No exercise. Avoided journaling. Snacked in the afternoon when I was not really hungry, then dinner out with DH and couldn’t finish my real meal, skipped the food at my evening meeting.
9/11: 220.7 / 221.3 - No excuses today. Need to both exercise and journal. Bike 30. Did not journal. Baked cookies instead.

🎯 I really need to pull myself together. My calendar had a reminder this morning that I wanted to be under 220 by this date. I set up that reminder back in July. I’ve been so close and under a couple of times yet just still hanging out in the low 20s.
9/17: 222.1 / 221.7 - Need to stop it right here from going up up up. No exercise.
9/18: 222.1 / 221.5 - Yesterday … Snacking in the afternoon … I was feeling empty and just couldn’t stop basically having a second lunch of a half sandwich around 3pm. Where did this bottomless pit feeling come from? Healthy salmon dinner around 6pm then stayed up till 11pm not snacking at all.
9/19: 222.8 / 221.5 - Bike 20 min
9/20: 222.0 / 222.0 - Bike 20 min

9/23: 219.0 / 221.5 - Right direction and a surprise! I know I did much better with my food over the weekend and it shows. I’ve hit 219.x twice this summer and couldn’t hold on to claim bye bye to the 220s. So my goal this week is to keep it under 220 and work on the 14 day trend to come down as well. Bike 20 min
Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
Actual Weight: 219.0
Challenge Weight Loss: 7.6
🎯 Out of control week followed up by a great weekend. Seem to be back in the 219-220 area again like early September / late August. I thought I had wasted all my September hanging out at 221-222 in recent times. Glad to see the drop. Now to keep it under 220!!
9/24: 219.5 / 220.2 - Held 219.x 2 days in a row! Yeah!!!

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 67-09/23-193.8-(Trend weight 193.6) No change probably due to no TMI. Overall it was a good day yesterday. No formal exercise but I did do more yard work/fall cleanup. Today Reno group #1 will work on adding the vinyl siding to the dormers upstairs since the roof is done. They will also be replacing the fascia all around the house. It’s beginning to come together. Group #2 will probably work on completing the deck although it’s wet outside so I’m not sure. The deck on the side of the house off my bedroom doorwall is done so now I have a small coffee deck facing the woods that I know I’m going to love in the early mornings.
Day 68-09/24-193.4-(Trend weight 193.8) Feeling strong today and glad to be typing my weight in Positive Pink. My trend weight is still not convinced but I will work hard to prove myself worthy of a turnaround on that weight too. Dark rainy fall day here today in Northern Michigan. I have already completed a youtube video workout. I’m feeling strong and confident that it will be a good day today. Gosh, this black coffee tastes good this morning!

@iradi8
I agree with what you said about the only way to lose is to eat food that you prepare yourself. Picnics are fine and fun.
I have limited myself to 6 times per year the last few years for restaurant food, it is killer to the waistline. However, in Cancun it was all-inclusive, so impossible. Breakfast was easy since they have so many good fruits to choose from.
On my latest trip this past weekend I stayed with friends, and although home cooked, there were massive quantities. They are bigger people, so need to eat more calories to stay at that size.
When on the road I generally get by with rice cakes and nut butter for the most part. I also carry almonds, granola bars and stuff just in case.5 -
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
Week 7 Goal: Didn't make a specific goal this week
Week 7 actual weight: 146.2 - Started the week at 145.6
Halfway point Day 50 - 146.0
Week 9 Goal: 146.0 -
Week 9 actual weight: 146.4 - Started the week at 146.2
Day 64—09/20 – 144.6 - Really? Okay, that is my 64th birthday weight. A great deal of hiking, workouts, and activity on the 19th, not much food. Felt lean all day on the 19th
Day 65—09/21 – 146.4 - Ate Ribs, Mexican Food, alcohol birthday night. It may catch up.
Day 66—09/22 – 146.4 - Weighed back home on my stationary scale.
Day 67—09/23 – 148.6 - Ouch I weighed during my trip, just never took my laptop out of the car to post, no time for that. Weights were all over the place. Ate and drank ALOT, but also got lots of activity/hiking in. Fabulous trip. @Lynn__W I have indeed Kayaked in my life, but I am far too stiff of a person to be seated like that for more than 5 minutes anymore. Not my preferred mode of transportation lol. I figure that it takes 3 days in either direction to show up on the scale. Back to work 2 jobs and a long day on my feet today. I hope that it doesn't take very long to get rid of this big gain!
Day 68—09/24 - 149.2 - Hopefully that is the end of my aftermath from my trip catching up. Ribs, carnitas, enchiladas...yummy for sure. Yesterday was a banner day, so hopefully in 3 days I will see the effects of that:
If every day were like today... You'd weigh 128.6 lbs in 5 weeks
Wouldn't that be something!

Hello everyone!
Random check-in today at 209.5 , up 0.1 , from last check in.
So for the end of month of September I’ve now got all of 1.6 lbs to lose to get to my next little milestone and u know what ? I’m struggling and can barely do it. I can’t decide whether my problemo is physical with broken metabolism or whether it’s psycho mindset .
Yeah, people (men) are able to look me over and ask each other , “Why does she keep herself so heavy ? ” I say ! They ain’t shy !
My current goal for end of this 100-day challenge is to just keep on losing some little bit each week. I don’t see myself getting to 195 for End of this challenge in October.
But my Higher Power now wants me to take off ALL of the extra 61 lbs.
Have a lovely day . ☀️5 -

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: 4.8
🎯 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! Today we are having family over for fajitas. No exercise except chasing a toddler. Too much food!
9/2: 220.8 / 220.1 - I need the brownies my sister brought yesterday out of the house! I ate 3 yesterday. Today my goal is not even a nibble. Ate them anyway and they are still not gone! 30 min on bike. Still not journaling.
Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's

Actual Weight: 220.8
Challenge Weight Loss: 5.8
🎯 Wasn’t able to hold on to the 219.x after all. I need more discipline in my life.
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. Bike 30 min. ✔️
9/4: 221.7 / 220.6 - Wrong direction! ✔️Drive to babysit granddaughter and birthday celebration dinner for my sister. No exercise.
9/5: 221.0 / 220.7 - Wrong direction! ✔️ Plans to bike today! Biked 30 min.

🎯 I really need to get serious if I want to hit 215 before my birthday at the end of October. I need to get back to journaling every bite. If I don’t get one other thing right this week it needs to be that.
9/10: 220.5 / 221.6 - Busy day ahead … Learn English Ministry volunteer teaching for adults in the community starts back up for today. I teach level 2 out of 4 levels. Then art class after lunch and a sorority alumni craft party this evening in town. Journaled yesterday for the first time in forever! Plans to do that again today No exercise. Avoided journaling. Snacked in the afternoon when I was not really hungry, then dinner out with DH and couldn’t finish my real meal, skipped the food at my evening meeting.
9/11: 220.7 / 221.3 - No excuses today. Need to both exercise and journal. Bike 30. Did not journal. Baked cookies instead.
9/12: 220.7 / 221.1 - Today ESL class, garden, and bike. Talked to contractor yesterday about remodeling entire downstairs using my daughter’s plans ... she's a professional interior designer. Biked 30 min. Did not journal.

🎯 I really need to pull myself together. My calendar had a reminder this morning that I wanted to be under 220 by this date. I set up that reminder back in July. I’ve been so close and under a couple of times yet just still hanging out in the low 20s.
9/17: 222.1 / 221.7 - Need to stop it right here from going up up up. No exercise.
9/18: 222.1 / 221.5 - Yesterday … Snacking in the afternoon … I was feeling empty and just couldn’t stop basically having a second lunch of a half sandwich around 3pm. Where did this bottomless pit feeling come from? Healthy salmon dinner around 6pm then stayed up till 11pm not snacking at all.
9/19: 222.8 / 221.5 - Bike 20 min
9/20: 222.0 / 222.0 - Bike 20 min

I’ve hit 219.x twice this summer and couldn’t hold on to claim bye bye to the 220s. So my goal this week is to keep it under 220 and work on the 14 day trend to come down as well. Bike 20 min
Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
Actual Weight: 219.0
Challenge Weight Loss: 7.6
🎯 Out of control week followed up by a great weekend. Seem to be back in the 219-220 area again like early September / late August. I thought I had wasted all my September hanging out at 221-222 in recent times. Glad to see the drop. Now to keep it under 220!!

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!

I have already completed a youtube video workout. I’m feeling strong and confident that it will be a good day today. Gosh, this black coffee tastes good this morning!
Day 69-09/25-192.6-(Trend weight 193.7) This was the nice whoosh I was hoping for. No formal exercise yesterday but I did some raking and lots of leaf burning. My choices weren’t the greatest yesterday but they were all within macros and logged. I am always a work in progress. My DGS Owen is finally getting his hard cast today. His parents were hoping it could be done a little closer to home but they still want it done in the specialty hospital 4 hours away. Please keep him in your thoughts today. This is all so new to him.

@deepwoodslady Nice whoosh! Prayers said for little Owen. He's such a cutie.
@Lilylady3k As you know pizza and popcorn will cause you to have a little fluid, so I'll bet you'll be low again tomorrow! I see that you teach ASL. My daughter just graduated from college. She had to have four semesters of a foreign language for her degree. She wanted to take ASL so bad, and they would not accept that. She is going into healthcare, so it would have been so helpful for her. Instead, she took Spanish and learned nothing because the college's Spanish department is notoriously bad and doesn't actually teach the students anything useful:(
@ptitejeanne Very nice week for you.
@dawnbgethealthy All-inclusive meals make it so hard to limit. I usually end up completely overeating and being miserable. It is amazing how easily that scale goes up after just a little while on vacation and how slowly it comes back down. I used to get derailed after vacations, but I got back on track this time. It just took me two months to get back to tracking and eating better. You'll see that scale go down soon. When I look at that "if every day were like today" thing, it just makes it seem like it takes so long to go down unless really way under cals for the day. When I am way under, it is nice to imagine that one day I'll be there at that lower weight though! My husband likes to go to restaurants. My daughter does as well, so when she comes home, we usually all go out to eat. Then on Wednesday nights, our church has a big dinner that I go to because I take a class afterwards. I can't seem to not eat everything on the plate! I'm trying to remind myself that leaving a few bites is okay.4 -

Day 64—09/20 – 140.1 lb
Day 65—09/21 – 139.9 lb.
Day 66—09/22 – 140 lb. I need to face it - I cannot allow bread (or other baked goods) in the house! Also cheese and peanut butter - together with bread a deadly combination if I want to lose more weight, or just maintain.

Day 68—09/24 --168.8lb that was most welcome, now it's my two days in a row long shift...roll on new staff starting, 4 more weeks 🙌
Day 69—09/25 –168.8lb , should be less as it was one long day but are late at 9 sadly not possible to do it any other time.

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

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: 4.8
🎯 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! Today we are having family over for fajitas. No exercise except chasing a toddler. Too much food!
9/2: 220.8 / 220.1 - I need the brownies my sister brought yesterday out of the house! I ate 3 yesterday. Today my goal is not even a nibble. Ate them anyway and they are still not gone! 30 min on bike. Still not journaling.
Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Journal every bite! ✔️ Notice that I didn’t even attempt this habit once this past week. Really becoming a problem.
Actual Weight: 220.8
Challenge Weight Loss: 5.8
🎯 Wasn’t able to hold on to the 219.x after all. I need more discipline in my life.
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. Bike 30 min. ✔️
9/4: 221.7 / 220.6 - Wrong direction! ✔️Drive to babysit granddaughter and birthday celebration dinner for my sister. No exercise.
9/5: 221.0 / 220.7 - Wrong direction! ✔️ Plans to bike today! Biked 30 min.
9/6: DNW - Girls weekend with old college friends ... need to wrap my head around food and drink before diving into the situation.
9/7: DNW

🎯 I really need to get serious if I want to hit 215 before my birthday at the end of October. I need to get back to journaling every bite. If I don’t get one other thing right this week it needs to be that.
9/10: 220.5 / 221.6 - Busy day ahead … Learn English Ministry volunteer teaching for adults in the community starts back up for today. I teach level 2 out of 4 levels. Then art class after lunch and a sorority alumni craft party this evening in town. Journaled yesterday for the first time in forever! Plans to do that again today No exercise. Avoided journaling. Snacked in the afternoon when I was not really hungry, then dinner out with DH and couldn’t finish my real meal, skipped the food at my evening meeting.
9/11: 220.7 / 221.3 - No excuses today. Need to both exercise and journal. Bike 30. Did not journal. Baked cookies instead.
9/12: 220.7 / 221.1 - Today ESL class, garden, and bike. Talked to contractor yesterday about remodeling entire downstairs using my daughter’s plans ... she's a professional interior designer. Biked 30 min. Did not journal.
9/13: 220.2 / 220.8 - Too many homemade cookies Wed and Thurs with no journaling. Today my goal is to say NO to the cookies! Biked 30 mins.
9/14: 221.7 / 221.0 - Where oh where is my focus? Biked 20 min
9/15: 222.0 / 221.3 - Lost all incentive and let things go a little too far. Bike 20 min

🎯 I really need to pull myself together. My calendar had a reminder this morning that I wanted to be under 220 by this date. I set up that reminder back in July. I’ve been so close and under a couple of times yet just still hanging out in the low 20s.
9/17: 222.1 / 221.7 - Need to stop it right here from going up up up. No exercise.
9/18: 222.1 / 221.5 - Yesterday … Snacking in the afternoon … I was feeling empty and just couldn’t stop basically having a second lunch of a half sandwich around 3pm. Where did this bottomless pit feeling come from? Healthy salmon dinner around 6pm then stayed up till 11pm not snacking at all.
9/19: 222.8 / 221.5 - Bike 20 min
9/20: 222.0 / 222.0 - Bike 20 min
9/21: 221.3 / 221.9 - Bike 20 min
9/22: 220.6 / 221.5 - Bike 20 min
9/23: 219.0 / 221.5 - Right direction and a surprise! I know I did much better with my food over the weekend and it shows. I’ve hit 219.x twice this summer and couldn’t hold on to claim bye bye to the 220s. So my goal this week is to keep it under 220 and work on the 14 day trend to come down as well. Bike 20 min
Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
Actual Weight: 219.0
Challenge Weight Loss: 7.6
🎯 Out of control week followed up by a great weekend. Seem to be back in the 219-220 area again like early September / late August. I thought I had wasted all my September hanging out at 221-222 in recent times. Glad to see the drop. Now to keep it under 220!!
9/24: 219.5 / 220.2 - Held 219.x 2 days in a row! Yeah!!! No exercise really busy day teaching ESL, art class and helping my daughter with the babies while her husband is out of town.
🎯Weigh less than DH: He is up to 222 so I’m under him this morning. (Sept 2024) ✔️
9/25: 220.0 / 220.0 - Lost it … darn pizza and popcorn! My trend is getting closer to being under 220 No excuses today!
9/26: 219.9 / 219.9 - Back under 220 but this time so is my 14 day trend!! Spent yesterday cleaning out my closet of everything to small or big. Tossed what I didn’t like. Put away in bin anything that didn’t fit that I really like so that later I can shop there first I believe 10 more pounds and I’ll be looking through the bin since most fit but was either too tight across the bust or hips. Now my closet has much fewer options but I can wear everything! I love how decluttered the closet is now!!

@iradi8 - My daughter took French in high school and my sons took German. None of it useful here but they did have Spanish in elementary school. None continued with a foreign language in college. I've tried learning Spanish after retiring ... it has been difficult.@Lilylady3k As you know pizza and popcorn will cause you to have a little fluid, so I'll bet you'll be low again tomorrow! I see that you teach ASL. My daughter just graduated from college. She had to have four semesters of a foreign language for her degree. She wanted to take ASL so bad, and they would not accept that. She is going into healthcare, so it would have been so helpful for her. Instead, she took Spanish and learned nothing because the college's Spanish department is notoriously bad and doesn't actually teach the students anything useful:(
I'm totally useless when it comes to ASL (sign language) except for the Girl Scout promise I did with the kids and what my little granddaughters use to communicate (more, thank you, all done, love, etc)
I volunteer teach ESL (English as a second language) to adults which is very rewarding as a volunteer job in retirement. I currently have 14 students that are from all over the world. I teach level 2 which they know most words and can put together sentences but the verb tense or little things are needed to help them speak smoother. Most can read from the book outloud but putting things together on their own is a struggle. We use Side by Side Plus program by Steven J. Molinsky and Bill Bliss which is great! There are levels1-4 plus Foundation for those that speak no English.

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 69-09/25-192.6-(Trend weight 193.7) This was the nice whoosh I was hoping for. No formal exercise yesterday but I did some raking and lots of leaf burning. My choices weren’t the greatest yesterday but they were all within macros and logged. I am always a work in progress. My DGS Owen is finally getting his hard cast today. His parents were hoping it could be done a little closer to home but they still want it done in the specialty hospital 4 hours away. Please keep him in your thoughts today. This is all so new to him.
Day 70-09/26-191.8-(Trend weight 193.5) It’s nice to see the drop on the scale but I can’t call yesterday a success. If you could have seen the garbage I chose to eat instead of dinner you would be amazed that I lost anything at all. The worst choice ever! I did skip dinner because of it and I knew that I would probably have to before I ate it, but it didn’t stop me. I barely squeaked in under my calorie allowance for the day but was more than double my normal carb intake. I had no formal exercise either. I chose to grocery shop locally instead once the reno crew left. I wish I wouldn’t have even went, that’s where I got the horrid makeshift dinner. But it was Wed Senior Discount Day at the store. Was it worth the discount? No.
Honestly, I think it was self-sabotage in play.

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
Week 7 Goal: Didn't make a specific goal this week
Week 7 actual weight: 146.2 - Started the week at 145.6
Halfway point Day 50 - 146.0
Week 9 Goal: 146.0 -
Week 9 actual weight: 146.4 - Started the week at 146.2
Day 64—09/20 – 144.6 - Really? Okay, that is my 64th birthday weight. A great deal of hiking, workouts, and activity on the 19th, not much food. Felt lean all day on the 19th
Day 65—09/21 – 146.4 - Ate Ribs, Mexican Food, alcohol birthday night. It may catch up.
Day 66—09/22 – 146.4 - Weighed back home on my stationary scale.
Day 67—09/23 – 148.6 - Ouch I weighed during my trip, just never took my laptop out of the car to post, no time for that. Weights were all over the place. Ate and drank ALOT, but also got lots of activity/hiking in. Fabulous trip. @Lynn__W I have indeed Kayaked in my life, but I am far too stiff of a person to be seated like that for more than 5 minutes anymore. Not my preferred mode of transportation lol. I figure that it takes 3 days in either direction to show up on the scale. Back to work 2 jobs and a long day on my feet today. I hope that it doesn't take very long to get rid of this big gain!
Day 68—09/24 - 149.2 - Hopefully that is the end of my aftermath from my trip catching up. Ribs, carnitas, enchiladas...yummy for sure. Yesterday was a banner day, so hopefully in 3 days I will see the effects of that:
9dglp3gy0lm7.png
If every day were like today... You'd weigh 128.6 lbs in 5 weeks
Wouldn't that be something!
Day 69—09/25 – 148.4 - coming back down
Day 70—09/26 – 148.4 - No TMI yesterday, weighed this morning before that happened. So very very quick to put on, slow as molasses to take back off!
Week 10 Goal: Same as Birthday weight, 144.6
