Halfway Progress Report: β¦..Pounds Lost so Far: PLUS 0.2 kg. Oops.
Day 50β09/06 β 65 kg. I am really uncertain how much I weigh. My bathroom scale is inaccurate, since the floor is uneven and gives different readings in different places. Still, people are complimenting me on weight loss, and I can fit into smaller size clothes, so - okay, I guess? Think I may need to check at the doctor's surgery.

@tinathescreamer I have definitely had to deal with uneven floors so I know exactly what you mean. The way I handle this best is to put the scale in the EXACT same spot of the floor every morning. At least it will show the difference from one day to the next. True that it won't be a true accuracy of your exact weight but it should be a true accuracy of any overnight change that has occurred. It helps me to continue to track weight loss or weight gain. For me the doctor's scale is always higher as I have all my clothes on and is later than I would normally weigh. I've thought about taking my scale occasionally down to the basement floor or out to the sidewalk but there's no guarantee that they are any more level. Also, in all honesty, I'm a little afraid of what the scale might show lol.3 -

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, itβs 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. Iβm 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 50-09/06-189.4-(Trend weight 191.2) I usually donβt weigh on Fridays as I donβt get enough of a time span between my last night-time snack and my early rising to get my DGS off to school once day per week. Thereβs also the Fosamax and the gulping of water. The normal span between food and morning is usually about 4.5 hours since I stay up very late by (retirement) habit. However, last night I dozed off early and had a 6.5 hours span this morning so I stepped on the scale. It was nice to see a drop. Yesterday stayed level so itβs nice to see progress after a couple of disciplined days in a row. Even though my daughter and DGS are here I hope to link up another good day. Cold, Cloudy and Rain expected today so my roofing crew are fitting in what they can before the rain comes in. This is the kind of gloomy day that would be able to make you want to munch, snack, eat. I wonβt be dictated today!

Day 51-09/07-189.0-(Trend weight 191.0) My meals were pre-planned and very good. My snacks were pre-planned but I added to them out of sheer boredom I think. It was unnecessary. Iβm grateful that the meals saved me and I still saw a drop on the scale this morning. Iβve got to be more mindful today (tonight)! I would love to be back in the 170βs by Christmas (at the Very Least). Something to aspire to.

Could you keep a sugar cube or pack of sugar in your pocket in the future in case of a glucose drop?
I know quite a few friends and family members with diabetes, and they range anywhere from: coke, juice, apple, sugar cube when they are having a drop.
@dawnbgethealthy It's pretty scary when it happens. Anything that has a rapid change in your body makes it really react in strange ways. A sugar packet is a good idea but it takes so long to increase the glucose that you just keep eating and eating until you can feel a difference. It's an instinct. It's hard to explain, but I guess the best example is that you are drowning and you don't just sink and hope someone will find you in time. You do everything you can to save yourself even if it's in a horrific panic. It's hard to just resign yourself to let yourself drown. It's against every instinct you have.
My long-time family doctor who is now retired had some good advice. She told me to keep Smarties candies in my purse or car. They really don't melt. They are packed very tightly so they really don't crush either. They last for a very long time before going stale as they are almost pure sugar. She even gave me a chart of how many to take based on what my glucose is reading. It's still a matter of sinking or a matter of trust but it did work. I'm not sure where the smarties chart is now since I change purses A LOT but there may be something online about it.
These drops have everything to do with the recent weight gain over the past months (since March). I just know it. The heavier I am, the worse my numbers are. I know this but it doesn't seem to make any difference when a craving or a hunger comes along. And cravings & hunger are a huge symptom of the diabetes itself so it's like a circle with suction. I guess what I'm saying is that it is key that I keep working on my weight and my overall health and get through what happens on occasion as best I can. I can't always control what happens, for sure. But I know I can do more. I know I can do better. I just may pick up some of those packets of sugar if they sell them at a standard grocery store. If not, I'll snatch a few packs from a restaurant in my travels. I drink my coffee black so I won't be using extra so therefore, I won't feel too guilty. Is that stealing? Hmmm gray area for sure. Thanks for the idea.
Just worried about you is all.
My cousin when we were kids would have those drops. Orange juice seemed to be the quickest to reverse that...for her.
Smarties or sugar packets also would have a quick uptake. Much faster than "food" which might take hours to provide that quick reversal.
They have little glucose gel packets, you open them and squeeze them into your mouth. I know a guy who carries those around.
I am scared when I hear of your drops.

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.

Day 50β09/06 β 146.0 - I was at 130 on my 61st birthday. By now I should be at my healthy weight of 110-118 for a 5'2" person, the trajectory looked promising. My highest weight btw was 207, I had high blood pressure and the doc told me to lose weight, so I did. It is a struggle. I did eat some of those wonderful green beans for dinner last night with a small potato salad made out of my garden and an egg.
Day 51β09/07β 146.2 - Saturday night after work is usually where I indulge a little in something that don't eat during the week. Not sure what that will be yet today. Beautiful and sunny here. I am going to get out into the yard for most of the day because I don't get ready for work until 3pm. Work on that tan : - )

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 β it really makes a difference for me β and I love the community aspect. Iβm looking forward to another great 100d!
Starting Weight: 159.2Day 01--07/19 β 159.2 My company was affected by the Crowdstrike problem. I spent all day on hold with IT. My computer is finally working, but itβs after an entire wasted day. Note to self: next time thereβs a system-wide failure, just leave the computer and do something fun instead. It wasnβt worth hanging around my work computer, looking at messages come in. I could have had a nice day of paint-by-numbers! Well, thatβs my weekend.Halfway Progress Report: β¦..Pounds Lost so Far: -1.5
Day 02β07/20 β 158.6 Happy Weekend! I hope yβall are doing well. Iβm 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 03β07/21 β159.6 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 04β07/22 β159.9 COOKIES. Too many cookies! Stopped at four yesterday straight out of the oven. But cookie breakfast AND snack isnβt the way I want to go. I also feel kind of bleh afterwards β I think itβs just the empty calories/sugar. Logging it all, though. No matter what!
Day 05β07/23 β159.2 Hard to focus at work today. Migraine did not help matters at all.
Day 06β07/24 β158.6 Almost done with week 1! Weβre walking early in the day due to the heat. Tonight itβs back to trivia. We won first place last week, so it remains to be seen how well we do tonight π
Day 07β07/25 β158.7 Got 4th place yesterday in trivia. Boo! Next time aroundβ¦. Looking forward to Friday tomorrow. My husband bought some apple fritters which are now in the house. Itβs going to be hard to do that in moderation!
Week 1 Goal: 158.2
Week 1 actual weight: 158.7
Day 08β07/26 β159.2 Moderately stressful Friday today. So glad itβs the weekend.
Day 09β07/27 β158.7 Got a haircut and did some paint-by-numbers today. Looking forward to a gentle Sunday π
Day 10β07/28 β158.3
Day 11β07/29 β158.5
Day 12β07/30 β158.0 terrible night last night β have some kind of stomach bug. On the up side Iβm not that hungry. ON the downside, lots of GI problems right now.
Day 13β07/31 β159.0 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 14β08/01 β158.0 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 15β08/02 β158.6 survived the workday. Looking forward to a peaceful weekend ahead. One of the activities is taking my mom out for birthday dinner, so thatβll be a real test of moderation.
Day 16β08/03 β156.9 Woot! Maybe Iβm out of the 158s now? That would be super. Iβve 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 β it wasnβt calorie-conscious, but I only ate one serving π Thereβs a berry cheesecake defrosting, though, so Iβm going to have to be very wary around that!!!
Day 17β08/04 β157.0 That cheesecake was delicious. It was hard to keep it to one serving! I was very close to just saying βtoo delicious for just one sliceβ lol. Itβs still in the fridge, though β so if I can hold it together for the rest of the day, maybe I can have another slice. *maybe*
Day 18β08/05 β157.8 Eating out yesterday plus the cheesecake equalled a bit of a slide backwards. But today Iβve been doing okay. Going to give that last slice of cheesecake to my husband β heβll appreciate that!
Day 19β08/06 β158.4 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 20β08/07 β157.4 Going out to play trivia tonight! Looking forward to a little relaxation at the local tavern. They have a βdesign your own saladβ option that Iβm very much anticipating.
Day 21β08/08 β158.1 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 Iβm getting the salad. Non-scoutβs honor.
Week 3 Goal: 155.2
Week 3 actual weight: 158.1
Day 22β08/09 β158.1 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 23β08/10 β157.3 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 β a few weeks might not be enough prep time for you.
Day 24β08/11 β157.6
Day 25β08/12 β159.3 CMON. I did donate platelets on Sunday, beforewhich I got breakfast at McDonaldβs. 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 weekβ¦
Day 26β08/13 β159.5
Day 27β08/14 β159.2 Okay Iβll admit that Iβm a bit discouraged and have had a hard time keeping to a eating regimen. Iβm going to try to pull it back in though.
Day 28β08/15 β158.1
Week 4 Goal: 153.2
Week 4 actual weight:158.1
Day 29β08/16 β157.7 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 thereβs at least that.
Day 30β08/17 β156.5
Day 31β08/18 β155.9
Day 32β08/19 β157.4 back and forth a bit. My portion sizes are good, even if sometimes my selections arenβt the best (hello shrimp scampi and spaghetti noodles). Had a girlsβ night in on Saturday and did well there too (Mediterranean food).
Day 33β08/20 β156.3 I hope yβall are doing well! Itβs okay over here. Tough couple of work days made worse with migraine flaring yesterday. Still coming out of itβ¦ And yes, Texas Roadhouse! It's super indulgent (that bread!) and an "only once in a while" treat for me and my husband. :-)
Day 34β08/21 β156.7 So had an adventure in IT today.
Day 35β08/22 β156.9
Week 5 Goal: n/a
Week 5 actual weight: 156.9
Day 36β08/23 β157.2 Itβs been a tough couple of migraine days. And, letβs face it, βit tastes goodβ days. And not even for high-value quality food, either! Thatβs the worst part. If I was having a nosh on some bacon or some cheesecake thatβd 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 Iβm going over on calories letβs have it be for something thatβs worth it.
Day 37β08/24 β157.1
Day 38β08/25 β157.1
Day 39β08/26 β156.9 slightly down. Looking over August I havenβt done greatβ¦ but will just have to have a great September! We can do this!!!
Day 40β08/27 β156.7 very determined to have a great September π going to make sure Iβm logging everything (Iβve been slacking) and up the activity. I really hate, hate, hate new years resolutions. I figure if you want to make a change, just make it already! So my non-new years resolution is to take better care of myself. dawnbgethealthy I am sensitive to pressure changes too. I get migraines if there are sudden drops or rises - and being tired is one of the symptoms. I used to call my brain a barometer because gosh help us if we're in danger of a hurricane!
Day 41β08/28 β156.5 long day, but had a great session with my therapist, and weβre going out to the local tavern to play trivia tonight. So will try to eat in moderation while there π
Day 42β08/29 β157.0 did well at the pub, not great at the trivia π I had an unhealthy hot dog with fries but cut the entire plate in half and couldnβt even finish the half I was going to eat. So thereβs at least that. Note to self: hot dog with chili and coleslaw doesnβt reheat so great.
Week 6 Goal:
Week 6 actual weight:157.0
Day 43β08/30 β156.7 TGIF! And a long weekend to boot! Iβm excited. We have some shopping ahead, and some walking in nature, and some socializing ahead! I have way too many apples so will be making either a crisp or a pie β so will have to give away most of it π Oh, and I forgot a fantasy football draft on Monday - we're going to grill out ahead of time (going to put some yummy veg on the grill).
Day 44β08/31 β155.8 Iβm a little surprised by this but keeping calm β I think Iβm dehydrated. So Iβll make sure Iβm drinking enough water to level things out. Already have had a nice walk (check!) and am about to do a tad bit of work (canβt wait to check this one off), then off for some shopping.
Day 45β09/01 β156.0 No more work this long weekend! Had a relaxing day yesterday β cleaned the master bathroom, played some games, cooked dinner (pepper chicken, turned out great!). While the chicken wasnβt the healthiest flex (chicken was fried before it was tossed in stir fry sauce), it was delicious, and I held myself to one serving. So Iβd call that a success.
Day 46β09/02 β156.5 Okay, yesterday went *okay*. Had a taco salad for dinner last night and didnβt eat too much of the tortilla bowl, and also didnβt finish it. Last day of my long weekend β Iβm a little sad! But going to see the in=laws today and grill out for dinner before the Fantasy Football draft. As mentioned earlier, will be grilling a lot of fun vegetables. My allergies and migraine are also going a little nuts as they tend to do with weather changes β we had a front come through yesterday. Hopefully things will stabilize today.
Day 47β09/03 β157.6 okay I havenβt eaten that healthily lately. Got to get back on the wagon!
Day 48β09/04β157.5 yesterday wasnβt great for dietary choices. Reset!

Day 50β09/06 β157.7
Day 51β09/07β156.9 Hi there! Happy Saturday! Relaxing day today. Going to make kung pao chicken for dinner, which will hopefully be nice, decadent, but not too caloric. Sauce has a bit of sugar in it, so thereβs that. Havenβt painted yet but will do so tomorrow. Have to go to the Asian market to get some supplies. I procrastinated and didnβt go today :-S but will try to get up the energy to go tomorrow.

@deepwoodslady I do try to keep it in the same place - I don't know who keeps shifting it!! The person who shares the house with me? The cat? The super sized spider that keeps crawling up the plughole?
.....or, Could it be some sneaky dieter who's "subconsciously" trying to nudge the number a little lower.....? (I am blind as a bat without my glasses in a steamy bathroom and find it hard to read)
Read on to see latest development......
Halfway Progress Report: β¦..Pounds Lost so Far: PLUS 0.2 kg. Oops.
Day 50β09/06 β 65 kg. I am really uncertain how much I weigh. My bathroom scale is inaccurate, since the floor is uneven and gives different readings in different places. Still, people are complimenting me on weight loss, and I can fit into smaller size clothes, so - okay, I guess? Think I may need to check at the doctor's surgery.
Day 51β09/07β 64.8 kg.
Day 52β09/08β 142 lb. Guess what! I have a new scale! Someone discerned my need - my sister heard me moaning about it and gave me her old one. It has much larger numbers and measures in pounds! Seeing I have lost 44 lb seems a lot more than 20 kg!

Hi. Iβm Lynn, 5βprobably 1β from B.C., Canada. Just reaching the point where Iβm feeling uncomfortable at this weight. Tired of flab and rolls. Committing to journaling except when away on a 5 day trip at the end of August.
Challenge Ultimate goal: 174.4 ο 160 (Sept 8th: revised to 168)
Week 8:
Sept 5th: 176.4 home!! Shoes are finally fitting again, first time Iβve dealt with swollen feet. Long βto doβ list!
Sept 6th: 176.4 Taking car to Okanagan where weβll leave it with son to have some minor repairs. Thank god for a mechanic in the family.
Sept 7th: 174.4 yesss! Spent the day catching up and getting ready for work tomorrow. Cousin closest to me in age passed away last night in his sleep (had cancers). Opted for a glass of wine on the deck instead of kayaking; this is a first!
Sept 8th: 174.2 Have removed weekly goals, as I seldom achieve them so continue to feel like Iβm failing at this losing game. Know my ultimate goal so my weekly goals are to just continue focusing on regaining health and mobility, strength and flexibility.

Just worried about you is all.
My cousin when we were kids would have those drops. Orange juice seemed to be the quickest to reverse that...for her.
Smarties or sugar packets also would have a quick uptake. Much faster than "food" which might take hours to provide that quick reversal.
They have little glucose gel packets, you open them and squeeze them into your mouth. I know a guy who carries those around.
I am scared when I hear of your drops.
@dawnbgethealthy I've never heard of glucose gel packs. That sounds fascinating and would be easy to keep under most all circumstances. I will definitely look into it. They closed our only drug store (Rite Aid) in my itty bitty town about 6 months ago and now I have to travel to get to one (about an hour each way). For my daily meds I am using a mail-in pharmacy sponsored by my medical insurance. Since I am leaving on a trip tomorrow I think I may stop at a brick & mortar pharmacy in the city and see what they carry. I'm actually shocked that private medical insurance does not cover this for diabetics. I think I will go to my online mail order pharmacy and double-check this. If not, hopefully it's not too expensive. It's not like it's something I have to use on the daily. Thanks so much for the idea. Interestingly, the episodes were getting fewer and further apart as my weight was dropping last winter. Now, with weight increases it has actually happened a couple of times JUST THIS WEEK ALONE! That speaks volumes!
Thanks for the gel pack info. I am definitely going to investigate. It may even be something Amazon carries.3 -

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, itβs 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. Iβm 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!

Halfway Progress Report: β¦..Pounds Lost so Far: 0.8 Gained
Day 51-09/07-189.0-(Trend weight 191.0) My meals were pre-planned and very good. My snacks were pre-planned but I added to them out of sheer boredom I think. It was unnecessary. Iβm grateful that the meals saved me and I still saw a drop on the scale this morning. Iβve got to be more mindful today (tonight)! I would love to be back in the 170βs by Christmas (at the Very Least). Something to aspire to.
Day 52-09/08-189.6-(Trend weight 190.9)Scale is a little bit up as I traveled yesterday with my son for some out-of-town shopping for his food supplies (autistic eating disorders and tactile food issues). Lunch was out. I ate less than half but we did have an ice cream later in the evening before coming home. Some of the ice cream shops have already closed for the season so we had to get it in! Well. I suppose βhad toβ is a bit strong. Tomorrow I leave for a two day trip to University Hospital for my Mammogram and Oncology appts. It is the yearly check-up for the cancer breast and the mid-year check-up on the cancer-scare breast as they are following up some suspicious stuff on that opposite side. The last check on that was 6 months ago. Because itβs a 4 hour drive each way and the appointments this time are so early it will be an overnight trip for us. There will be restaurants both days and plenty of sitting. I know itβs going to do some damage but what goes up must come down so I will work diligently the rest of the week. I must admit, this small-town girl is looking forward to all that the big city has to offer. Iβm really looking forward to getting away from this βconstruction zoneβ house too. Donβt forget ladies, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month so youβve got plenty of time to schedule your routine testing. I share because I care!

Just worried about you is all.
My cousin when we were kids would have those drops. Orange juice seemed to be the quickest to reverse that...for her.
Smarties or sugar packets also would have a quick uptake. Much faster than "food" which might take hours to provide that quick reversal.
They have little glucose gel packets, you open them and squeeze them into your mouth. I know a guy who carries those around.
I am scared when I hear of your drops.
@dawnbgethealthy I've never heard of glucose gel packs. That sounds fascinating and would be easy to keep under most all circumstances. I will definitely look into it. They closed our only drug store (Rite Aid) in my itty bitty town about 6 months ago and now I have to travel to get to one (about an hour each way). For my daily meds I am using a mail-in pharmacy sponsored by my medical insurance. Since I am leaving on a trip tomorrow I think I may stop at a brick & mortar pharmacy in the city and see what they carry. I'm actually shocked that private medical insurance does not cover this for diabetics. I think I will go to my online mail order pharmacy and double-check this. If not, hopefully it's not too expensive. It's not like it's something I have to use on the daily. Thanks so much for the idea. Interestingly, the episodes were getting fewer and further apart as my weight was dropping last winter. Now, with weight increases it has actually happened a couple of times JUST THIS WEEK ALONE! That speaks volumes!
Thanks for the gel pack info. I am definitely going to investigate. It may even be something Amazon carries.
Yes, Walmart, Walgreens, and Amazon carry them3 -
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.

Halfway point Day 50 - 146.0
Day 50β09/06 β 146.0 - I was at 130 on my 61st birthday. By now I should be at my healthy weight of 110-118 for a 5'2" person, the trajectory looked promising. My highest weight btw was 207, I had high blood pressure and the doc told me to lose weight, so I did. It is a struggle. I did eat some of those wonderful green beans for dinner last night with a small potato salad made out of my garden and an egg.
Day 51β09/07β 146.2 - Saturday night after work is usually where I indulge a little in something that don't eat during the week. Not sure what that will be yet today. Beautiful and sunny here. I am going to get out into the yard for most of the day because I don't get ready for work until 3pm. Work on that tan : - )
Day 52β09/08β 146.6 - Went out in the garden and made myself some Nachos with a couple of cocktails last night after work. Not sure yet what I will eat today, but coffee is tasting great. I was offered a shift, but didn't take it at the LTC place. Sacrificing the extra $$ for well being. Lots and lots to do in the yard. I will be out there today with my bathing suit on getting a tan as I sweat. Fitness Marshall soon to grease me up so that I don't pull anything.

Day 37β08/24 β 163.4 - kinda surprised at this. Friday nights are league bowling, and lots of temptations. I stuck with a salad topped with grilled chicken breast, (only healthy thing on the menu), skipped the dressing and topped it with salsa. Had a few fries to go with. Got home and munched on popcorn, a Ghirardelli chocolate square and a few Mike & Ikes. This was all after 11pm!

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 β it really makes a difference for me β and I love the community aspect. Iβm looking forward to another great 100d!
Starting Weight: 159.2Day 01--07/19 β 159.2 My company was affected by the Crowdstrike problem. I spent all day on hold with IT. My computer is finally working, but itβs after an entire wasted day. Note to self: next time thereβs a system-wide failure, just leave the computer and do something fun instead. It wasnβt worth hanging around my work computer, looking at messages come in. I could have had a nice day of paint-by-numbers! Well, thatβs my weekend.Halfway Progress Report: β¦..Pounds Lost so Far: -1.5
Day 02β07/20 β 158.6 Happy Weekend! I hope yβall are doing well. Iβm 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 03β07/21 β159.6 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 04β07/22 β159.9 COOKIES. Too many cookies! Stopped at four yesterday straight out of the oven. But cookie breakfast AND snack isnβt the way I want to go. I also feel kind of bleh afterwards β I think itβs just the empty calories/sugar. Logging it all, though. No matter what!
Day 05β07/23 β159.2 Hard to focus at work today. Migraine did not help matters at all.
Day 06β07/24 β158.6 Almost done with week 1! Weβre walking early in the day due to the heat. Tonight itβs back to trivia. We won first place last week, so it remains to be seen how well we do tonight π
Day 07β07/25 β158.7 Got 4th place yesterday in trivia. Boo! Next time aroundβ¦. Looking forward to Friday tomorrow. My husband bought some apple fritters which are now in the house. Itβs going to be hard to do that in moderation!
Week 1 Goal: 158.2
Week 1 actual weight: 158.7
Day 08β07/26 β159.2 Moderately stressful Friday today. So glad itβs the weekend.

Day 10β07/28 β158.3
Day 11β07/29 β158.5
Day 12β07/30 β158.0 terrible night last night β have some kind of stomach bug. On the up side Iβm not that hungry. ON the downside, lots of GI problems right now.
Day 13β07/31 β159.0 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 14β08/01 β158.0 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 15β08/02 β158.6 survived the workday. Looking forward to a peaceful weekend ahead. One of the activities is taking my mom out for birthday dinner, so thatβll be a real test of moderation.
Day 16β08/03 β156.9 Woot! Maybe Iβm out of the 158s now? That would be super. Iβve 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 β it wasnβt calorie-conscious, but I only ate one serving π Thereβs a berry cheesecake defrosting, though, so Iβm going to have to be very wary around that!!!
Day 17β08/04 β157.0 That cheesecake was delicious. It was hard to keep it to one serving! I was very close to just saying βtoo delicious for just one sliceβ lol. Itβs still in the fridge, though β so if I can hold it together for the rest of the day, maybe I can have another slice. *maybe*
Day 18β08/05 β157.8 Eating out yesterday plus the cheesecake equalled a bit of a slide backwards. But today Iβve been doing okay. Going to give that last slice of cheesecake to my husband β heβll appreciate that!
Day 19β08/06 β158.4 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 20β08/07 β157.4 Going out to play trivia tonight! Looking forward to a little relaxation at the local tavern. They have a βdesign your own saladβ option that Iβm very much anticipating.
Day 21β08/08 β158.1 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 Iβm getting the salad. Non-scoutβs honor.
Week 3 Goal: 155.2
Week 3 actual weight: 158.1
Day 22β08/09 β158.1 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 23β08/10 β157.3 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 β a few weeks might not be enough prep time for you.
Day 24β08/11 β157.6
Day 25β08/12 β159.3 CMON. I did donate platelets on Sunday, beforewhich I got breakfast at McDonaldβs. 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 weekβ¦
Day 26β08/13 β159.5
Day 27β08/14 β159.2 Okay Iβll admit that Iβm a bit discouraged and have had a hard time keeping to a eating regimen. Iβm going to try to pull it back in though.

Day 33β08/20 β156.3 I hope yβall are doing well! Itβs okay over here. Tough couple of work days made worse with migraine flaring yesterday. Still coming out of itβ¦ And yes, Texas Roadhouse! It's super indulgent (that bread!) and an "only once in a while" treat for me and my husband. :-)
Day 34β08/21 β156.7 So had an adventure in IT today.
Day 35β08/22 β156.9
Week 5 Goal: n/a
Week 5 actual weight: 156.9
Day 36β08/23 β157.2 Itβs been a tough couple of migraine days. And, letβs face it, βit tastes goodβ days. And not even for high-value quality food, either! Thatβs the worst part. If I was having a nosh on some bacon or some cheesecake thatβd 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 Iβm going over on calories letβs have it be for something thatβs worth it.
Day 37β08/24 β157.1
Day 38β08/25 β157.1
Day 39β08/26 β156.9 slightly down. Looking over August I havenβt done greatβ¦ but will just have to have a great September! We can do this!!!
Day 40β08/27 β156.7 very determined to have a great September π going to make sure Iβm logging everything (Iβve been slacking) and up the activity. I really hate, hate, hate new years resolutions. I figure if you want to make a change, just make it already! So my non-new years resolution is to take better care of myself. dawnbgethealthy I am sensitive to pressure changes too. I get migraines if there are sudden drops or rises - and being tired is one of the symptoms. I used to call my brain a barometer because gosh help us if we're in danger of a hurricane!
Day 41β08/28 β156.5 long day, but had a great session with my therapist, and weβre going out to the local tavern to play trivia tonight. So will try to eat in moderation while there π
Day 42β08/29 β157.0 did well at the pub, not great at the trivia π I had an unhealthy hot dog with fries but cut the entire plate in half and couldnβt even finish the half I was going to eat. So thereβs at least that. Note to self: hot dog with chili and coleslaw doesnβt reheat so great.
Week 6 Goal:
Week 6 actual weight:157.0
Day 43β08/30 β156.7 TGIF! And a long weekend to boot! Iβm excited. We have some shopping ahead, and some walking in nature, and some socializing ahead! I have way too many apples so will be making either a crisp or a pie β so will have to give away most of it π Oh, and I forgot a fantasy football draft on Monday - we're going to grill out ahead of time (going to put some yummy veg on the grill).
Day 44β08/31 β155.8 Iβm a little surprised by this but keeping calm β I think Iβm dehydrated. So Iβll make sure Iβm drinking enough water to level things out. Already have had a nice walk (check!) and am about to do a tad bit of work (canβt wait to check this one off), then off for some shopping.
Day 45β09/01 β156.0 No more work this long weekend! Had a relaxing day yesterday β cleaned the master bathroom, played some games, cooked dinner (pepper chicken, turned out great!). While the chicken wasnβt the healthiest flex (chicken was fried before it was tossed in stir fry sauce), it was delicious, and I held myself to one serving. So Iβd call that a success.
Day 46β09/02 β156.5 Okay, yesterday went *okay*. Had a taco salad for dinner last night and didnβt eat too much of the tortilla bowl, and also didnβt finish it. Last day of my long weekend β Iβm a little sad! But going to see the in=laws today and grill out for dinner before the Fantasy Football draft. As mentioned earlier, will be grilling a lot of fun vegetables. My allergies and migraine are also going a little nuts as they tend to do with weather changes β we had a front come through yesterday. Hopefully things will stabilize today.
Day 47β09/03 β157.6 okay I havenβt eaten that healthily lately. Got to get back on the wagon!
Day 48β09/04β157.5 yesterday wasnβt great for dietary choices. Reset!

Day 51β09/07β156.9 Hi there! Happy Saturday! Relaxing day today. Going to make kung pao chicken for dinner, which will hopefully be nice, decadent, but not too caloric. Sauce has a bit of sugar in it, so thereβs that. Havenβt painted yet but will do so tomorrow. Have to go to the Asian market to get some supplies. I procrastinated and didnβt go today :-S but will try to get up the energy to go tomorrow.

Round 18 80.1 to 76.4 kg
Day 1 73.6 a big drop from my last reading on day 98, it's not total fat loss, I expect to gain as my body recovers
Day 2 73.6
Day 3 73.6
Day 4 DNW
Day 5 73.2
Day 6 73.7
Day 7 73.5 I want to lose at least a kilogram a month, that should be easy to achieve. So "it's all on" as they say. I will post when I have what I consider junk food. It's been 12 days since I had sugar. That's the longest in the last 5 1/2 years. I consider that an achievement. I had KFC yesterday because the mall I was at has no where to sit down and do stuff, I needed to email the receipt from the water payment and wasn't going home until it was done. At the moment, I'm a bit slower than one kilogram a month.
Day 8 74.1
Day 9 73.7 I have now lost weight for 42 consecutive months. That's an alternative way of saying "the_reflex is taking forever to reach goal weight, 42 months to lose 22 kg". But it shows that I haven't rebounded to any large extent. That's a hopeful sign for maintenance.
I had sugar today, after 14 days. Sugary food and chocolate definitely changes my mood. Buzzy feeling. I hope to not have sugary food again for a while.
Day 10 73.1
Day 11 72.3 my weight has dropped quite a bit in the last 3 days but that's just because I stopped having salty food. I just checked my spreadsheet, guess what? 29th July 2014. 73.0 kg. I'm now the weight I was 10 years ago. I consider this a milestone. I had a Starbucks meal to celebrate.
Day 12 73.1 pizza in the evening resulting in...
Day 13 75.5
Day 14 75.8, still showing the effect of the pizza. But I'm not hungry right now, so I'm eating too much. I lost 2.7 kg in July, a lot of that is from getting influenza (not covid - I got tested) which went to my throat, stomach, lungs and inner ear. Anyway I need to eat less.
Spoiler
Goal weight - 64 kg. I really want to aim for reaching goal weight by the end of the year. I don't know if I can do it, but it would be nice to achieve it. So I need to track my intake, starting today, first of the month. That's about 150 days of tracking and estimating food needed. It would be nice to have a long period of continuous tracking because when I reach goal weight, that's it, no more tracking. I can't exercise right now due to the temperature, but I'm moving soon so I'll be in a cooler environment.
Day 15 75.7
Day 16 76.3
Day 17 76.1
Day 18 76.6
Day 19 75.8
Day 20 DNW
Day 21 DNW
Day 22 DNW
Day 23 75.6
Day 24 76.1
I'm now in a cool location, I can exercise such as running. If I'm running I need to track my intake, so I need to average between two intake numbers. If my average intake is between these numbers (unlikely that it'll be below the minimum but I'll put it in anyway) I'll post "eating okay".
