Day 71β09/27 β 140 lb
Day 72β09/28 β 139.9 lb. Friend brought me some Bassetts jelly babies - the one and only true original jelly baby! They're hard to get here, and the local ones taste different - more like gummies, whereas Bassetts are more like Turkish Delight! Happy memories of childhood days, when you judged someone's character by how they ate a jelly baby - head first or feet first? Slowly and sadistically or quickly to put it out of its misery? Babies themselves are the worst abusers of jelly babies - they just shove the whole thing in their mouths at once and chomp - then drool and spit it up!

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 β¦ hour drive to the airportβ¦ flights to Paris, Detroit, Houston (airplane food on each leg of the journey and 3 bags of chips on the last flight) β¦ landed in Houston at 6pm β¦ picking up our dog & dinner with our sonβs 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. Iβll take it and tackle that little gain before it slips away from me. π Now to make progress β¦ 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 didnβt 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 β¦ 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 - Didnβt 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 Iβm back < 227
Actual Weight: 225.5 - BMI = 40
Challenge Weight Loss: 1.1
π― Returning from vacation and getting myself started back on the healthy journey was key this week. Iβm happy with my focus and determination. Now to focus on no longer being labeled βmorbidlyβ 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 Iβll 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 - Todayβs focus β¦ after my exercise class β¦ prep for the party. Buying everything for the charcuterie board Iβm 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 β¦ 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 β¦ 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 didnβt get a clean square β¦ 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. Didnβt eat anything at the party but did have a slice of brisket at my sonβs 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 π« morbidly obese!
Actual Weight: 223.7 - BMI 39.7
Challenge Weight Loss: 2.9
π― I moved out of Morbidly obese stage 3 and into obese stage 2! βοΈ
Now to work my way down to obese stage 1 around 197 but Iβll first have to hit many milestones to get there.
NSV - I βslidβ my cellphone into my front pocket of my pants with lots of room to spare. (Aug 2024) βοΈ
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 Iβm 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 β¦ forgot how time consuming a 2 month old is!
Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens β¦ 220's
Actual Weight: 223.0
Challenge Weight Loss: xx
π― 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 granddaughterβs ~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 β¦ 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 Iβm 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 β¦ 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 sonβs to help unload and move furniture they bought. My goal is to bike this morning since we donβt 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 β¦ something I need to remember. Opportunity to eat out before and after our roundtrip to my sonβs 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 sonβs 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.
π tonight + strength training today 40 min. AF βοΈ
Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens β¦ 220's
Actual Weight: 220.5 - BMI 39.1
Challenge Weight Loss: 6
π― 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 β¦ 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. βοΈ
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. π 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. βοΈ
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.βοΈ
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. βοΈ
8/24: 223.4 / 221.0 - I knew it would be up from yesterdayβs 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 β¦ you would think after a colonoscopy the numbers would be down. Dinner at my sonβs 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 β¦ she needs rest, fluids, antibiotics. Walked outside 1/4 mile with stroller.βοΈ
Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens β¦ 220's
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Glass of water before coffee βοΈ
Actual Weight: 221.8
GAINED this week: 1.3
Challenge Weight Loss: 4.8
π― Disappointed that I let it get out of hand. Not really sure why or what happened. I didnβt 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 β¦ 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 donβt 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 β¦ 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 β¦ 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 β¦ 220's

Actual Weight: 220.8
Challenge Weight Loss: 5.8
π― Wasnβt 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. βοΈ
9/4: 221.7 / 220.6 - Wrong direction! βοΈDrive to babysit granddaughter and birthday celebration dinner for my sister. No exercise.
9/5: 221.0 / 220.7 - Wrong direction! βοΈ Plans to bike today! Biked 30 min.

π― 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 donβt get one other thing right this week it needs to be that.
9/10: 220.5 / 221.6 - Busy day ahead β¦ 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 couldnβt 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.

π― 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. Iβve 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 β¦ Snacking in the afternoon β¦ I was feeling empty and just couldnβt 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. Iβve hit 219.x twice this summer and couldnβt 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 β¦ 220's
Actual Weight: 219.0
Challenge Weight Loss: 7.6
π― 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.
π―Weigh less than DH: He is up to 222 so Iβm under him this morning. (Sept 2024) βοΈ
9/25: 220.0 / 220.0 - Lost it β¦ 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 didnβt like. Put away in bin anything that didnβt fit that I really like so that later I can shop there first I believe 10 more pounds and Iβll 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!!
9/27: 219.0 / 219..5 - Today I need to get back on the bike. Iβve noticed that Iβve pushed it off almost everyday this week! Baked double batch of pumpkin cookies and only at 2 I call that a win. Bike 20 min.
9/28: 218.9 / 219.2 - Talked to another contractor yesterday and thinking this might work. Still need budgetary numbers to see what it will cost and if it fits under our number to stay vs move. She is bringing out everyone to view the project on Wednesday to get to that estimate. That walk through with custom cabinet carpenter, paint, floor, electrical, plumbing, and whatever you call the folks that would remove the columns and put in the new wall for the pantry / laundry room. Oh and I think someone for the brick range arch and the fireplace. Weβve already selected all the appliances and have that $$.
Yesterday I started cleaning out my kitchen cabinets and drawers β¦ to toss and give away. Iβll have less storage after the project! Current kitchen has 17 drawers and 30 cabinets β¦ so many things have gotten forgotten, lost or died in this kitchen over 24 years. I found wedding gifts from 40 years ago that were never used LOL.
@deepwoodslady - You've been remodeling in the remote north for a few years ... I'm trying to do it in a couple of months. But then Houston has a ton of folks to do these type of jobs. Thinking of you and wanting to spruce up our place. We have new windows, siding, and roof. Now to focus inside.

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 71-09/27-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I hate waiting for an hour for coffee on my Fosamax day. Even though they have me guzzle water with it, it is just not the same as a steamy cup of get-up-and-go. I started out grumpy because of it but I used some of that time doing my Youtube workout which was about 15 minutes long. Yesterday was a so-so day (thereβs always room for improvement}. I still need to work on my actual choices, even if they fit okay into my macros. Choices are definitely harder on busy days where there is more of a grab-n-go mentality for me. Iβm Happy to say that the siding and roof were finally completed yesterday along with all the fascia. Now we are back to just my contractor and whatever help he brings. They are currently cleaning up yard mess and re-organizing everything outside. New shutters have been installed and new lights are also up. Iβll post pics when I get time. They are also doing some trim work inside on all the new windows that were put in. Blinds probably wonβt be installed on all of them until next week as Friday is their short day. I canβt wait to get the blankets down from the windows. My grandson and daughter arrived early this week (Wed) due to my DGSβs broken arm. Some of my roughest temptations are because of it. Today is Friday which is payday for her. God only knows what sheβll carry in tonight after work. Praying for strength on my part.

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.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 41 78.1, 3 minutes running on the treadmill, 27 minutes walking

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".

Day 71β09/27 β 140 lb
Day 72β09/28 β 139.9 lb. Friend brought me some Bassetts jelly babies - the one and only true original jelly baby! They're hard to get here, and the local ones taste different - more like gummies, whereas Bassetts are more like Turkish Delight! Happy memories of childhood days, when you judged someone's character by how they ate a jelly baby - head first or feet first? Slowly and sadistically or quickly to put it out of its misery? Babies themselves are the worst abusers of jelly babies - they just shove the whole thing in their mouths at once and chomp - then drool and spit it up!

Argh Tina! Now I really want some Turkish delight, the proper "posh" stuff in the little Hexagon box with icing sugar and a wooden spoon. We also have one made by Cadbury I think? That is in a purple wrapper and wrapped in chocolate, not so keen on that as it's too sweet. Prefer the other more floral tasting one.

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 β¦ hour drive to the airportβ¦ flights to Paris, Detroit, Houston (airplane food on each leg of the journey and 3 bags of chips on the last flight) β¦ landed in Houston at 6pm β¦ picking up our dog & dinner with our sonβs 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. Iβll take it and tackle that little gain before it slips away from me. π Now to make progress β¦ 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 didnβt 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 β¦ 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 - Didnβt 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 Iβm back < 227
Actual Weight: 225.5 - BMI = 40
Challenge Weight Loss: 1.1
π― Returning from vacation and getting myself started back on the healthy journey was key this week. Iβm happy with my focus and determination. Now to focus on no longer being labeled βmorbidlyβ 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 Iβll 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 - Todayβs focus β¦ after my exercise class β¦ prep for the party. Buying everything for the charcuterie board Iβm 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 β¦ 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 β¦ 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 didnβt get a clean square β¦ 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. Didnβt eat anything at the party but did have a slice of brisket at my sonβs 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 π« morbidly obese!
Actual Weight: 223.7 - BMI 39.7
Challenge Weight Loss: 2.9
π― I moved out of Morbidly obese stage 3 and into obese stage 2! βοΈ
Now to work my way down to obese stage 1 around 197 but Iβll first have to hit many milestones to get there.
NSV - I βslidβ my cellphone into my front pocket of my pants with lots of room to spare. (Aug 2024) βοΈ
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 Iβm 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 β¦ forgot how time consuming a 2 month old is!
Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens β¦ 220's
Actual Weight: 223.0
Challenge Weight Loss: xx
π― 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 granddaughterβs ~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 β¦ 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 Iβm 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 β¦ 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 sonβs to help unload and move furniture they bought. My goal is to bike this morning since we donβt 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 β¦ something I need to remember. Opportunity to eat out before and after our roundtrip to my sonβs 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 sonβs 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.
π tonight + strength training today 40 min. AF βοΈ
Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens β¦ 220's
Actual Weight: 220.5 - BMI 39.1
Challenge Weight Loss: 6
π― 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 β¦ 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. βοΈ
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. π 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. βοΈ
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.βοΈ
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. βοΈ
8/24: 223.4 / 221.0 - I knew it would be up from yesterdayβs 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 β¦ you would think after a colonoscopy the numbers would be down. Dinner at my sonβs 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 β¦ she needs rest, fluids, antibiotics. Walked outside 1/4 mile with stroller.βοΈ
Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens β¦ 220's
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Glass of water before coffee βοΈ
Actual Weight: 221.8
GAINED this week: 1.3
Challenge Weight Loss: 4.8
π― Disappointed that I let it get out of hand. Not really sure why or what happened. I didnβt 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 β¦ 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 donβt 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 β¦ 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 β¦ 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 β¦ 220's
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Journal every bite! βοΈ Notice that I didnβt even attempt this habit once this past week. Really becoming a problem.
Actual Weight: 220.8
Challenge Weight Loss: 5.8
π― Wasnβt 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. βοΈ
9/4: 221.7 / 220.6 - Wrong direction! βοΈDrive to babysit granddaughter and birthday celebration dinner for my sister. No exercise.
9/5: 221.0 / 220.7 - Wrong direction! βοΈ Plans to bike today! Biked 30 min.

9/9: 222.7 / 221.9 - Fun weekend but obviously went overboard on the food front. Bike 30 min. Journaled for the first time in a month!
Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens β¦ 220's

Actual Weight: 221.7
Gained this week: .9
Challenge Weight Loss: 4.9
π― 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 donβt get one other thing right this week it needs to be that.
9/10: 220.5 / 221.6 - Busy day ahead β¦ 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 couldnβt 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 daughterβs 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
9/16: 221.7 / 221.4 - Well this week has been a disappointment. Bike 30 min
Weekly Goal: < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens β¦ 220's

No Loss or Gain this week
Challenge Weight Loss: 4.9
π― 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. Iβve 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 β¦ Snacking in the afternoon β¦ I was feeling empty and just couldnβt 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. Iβve hit 219.x twice this summer and couldnβt 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 β¦ 220's
Actual Weight: 219.0
Challenge Weight Loss: 7.6
π― 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.
π―Weigh less than DH: He is up to 222 so Iβm under him this morning. (Sept 2024) βοΈ
9/25: 220.0 / 220.0 - Lost it β¦ 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 didnβt like. Put away in bin anything that didnβt fit that I really like so that later I can shop there first I believe 10 more pounds and Iβll 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!!
9/27: 219.0 / 219..5 - Today I need to get back on the bike. Iβve noticed that Iβve pushed it off almost everyday this week! Baked double batch of pumpkin cookies and only at 2 I call that a win. Bike 20 min.
9/28: 218.9 / 219.2 - Talked to another contractor yesterday and thinking this might work. Yesterday I started cleaning out my kitchen cabinets and drawers β¦ to toss and give away. Bike 20 min
9/29: 217.9 / 218.7 - Finally seeing the drops. This low is probably because I slept in til 7:30am instead of weighing in at 4am. LOL Not snacking and portion control seem to be working.

I HATE HATE HATE that they eliminated the news feed. I loved the daily chit-chat and accountability with many many friends. I loved the open diaries and the learning process. Not everyone is on the challenges! I miss all my many friends. I've been so angry about it that I've quite even participating in their surveys which they use to bump up their review stars. Once I did a survey and reported my unhappiness I just stopped.3 -

Day 71β09/27 β 147.0 - Slowly coming back down, one week after eating Ribs, Carnitas, Enchiladas on my birthday a week ago when I gained almost 5 pounds in one day when all was said and done.
Day 72β09/28 β 146.2 - Crazy long workday, I didn't get home until 1:30am, it was Karaoke night at the bar. I didn't get to bed until 4:30am. The day is getting away from me today, I had great plans of so much I wanted to accomplish, like cutting the grass and stuff. Instead, I have to start getting ready for work in 20 minutes! Not even dressed today. Short shift tonight, tomorrow off, Monday night off from my bar job, Tuesday completely off from everything, so I will get back to eating actual dinner the next few nights.
Day 73β09/29 β 147.0 - That was short lived. I didn't get a whole lot of activity in yesterday, as planned due to my very late night. Kind of missed the window for all of my yard work since it is overcast and forecast to rain today - no grass cutting possibly. I will be home at a normal dinner time for the next 3 nights. I had dinner last night, I was just so hungry after Friday's work marathon. I feel like my body got used to not having dinner. I will pick some onions, peppers, beans and stuff and make a stir fry one of these 3 nights.

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!

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.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 41 78.1, 3 minutes running on the treadmill, 27 minutes walking

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".

Day 72β09/28 β 139.9 lb. Friend brought me some Bassetts jelly babies - the one and only true original jelly baby! They're hard to get here, and the local ones taste different - more like gummies, whereas Bassetts are more like Turkish Delight! Happy memories of childhood days, when you judged someone's character by how they ate a jelly baby - head first or feet first? Slowly and sadistically or quickly to put it out of its misery? Babies themselves are the worst abusers of jelly babies - they just shove the whole thing in their mouths at once and chomp - then drool and spit it up!
