    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    Targeting ~170 being closer to overweight instead of morbidly obese
    226.6 - Ending weight last round on 7/11/2024 before vacation.
    215 - Goal this round


    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022) Lost focus on myself while helping with 2 new grand babies (Jan & June); also started teaching ESL on Tues & Thurs morning and no longer went to in person Strong & Fit class
    2023 SW: 232 BMI 41.1 (1/1/2023) Lowest 226
    2024 SW: 230 BMI 40.7 (1/1/2024) Refocus 6/22/2024
    2025 SW: ?? It’s totally up to you and within your control

    Strategy:
    Bike 3x 30 min
    Strong & Fit 2x
    Water 72+ oz daily
    Journal every bite daily
    Weekly weigh in on Mondays

    I looked back at my notes. I gained .8 lbs during the 3 week vacation in April 2024. And gained 2 lbs during the 2 week cruise June 2023. I gained .8 lbs during the 2 week Scotland trip Sept 2023. So vacations and cruises are not where I put on the pounds! It is what I do daily in my regular life. On vacation I’m very active and snack very little! At home I need to focus on being more active by exercising at least 5x per week and not constantly turning to food when I’m bored or stressed.

    Day: Weight Daily Weigh In / Trend Weight over 14 days - Comments report day of activity

    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 3-6 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 … flights to Paris, Detroit, Houston (airplane food on each leg of the journey and 3 bags of chips on the last flight) … landed in Houston at 6pm … picking up our dog & dinner with our son’s family at 7:30pm, another hour driving home finally home at 10:00pm Thursday night (which was 5am Friday morning Oslo time). So all in all a 26 hour travel day.
    Broke my promise to myself so vacation eating plan was a fail in that I ate the bread basket every night at dinner and dessert at lunch, dinner and 4pm tea time on 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.

    My weekly weigh in is on Monday (not Thursday) so I'll not be following your template exactly but tracking through the end of our 100 day challenge in my own fashion.} I'll have to cut my final weigh in short a few days as I'll be cruising and not stepping on the scale on vacation.

    10/19-10/26: DNW - Vacation with my sister cruising NE US & Canada. See you in the next round when I return.
    I'm going to do my best to return from the trip and report back that I'm still under xxx!! Mindset change ... eating healthier (not everything available to me) on a cruise is going to be a tough challenge but I've got to figure it out and just do it. To reach my <215 goal by my birthday at the end of October means that regaining any loss is not an option.
    Goal: < xxx

    @dawnbgethealthy - I ate ribs at a wonderful little family owned restaurant in Oslo on Wednesday!!! Thought of you!

    Den Glade Gris (The Happy Pig)

    The favorite dinner choice was the pig knuckle in the picture on the menu but I wasn't up for that! My ribs were great ... ~4-5 short ribs.

    They served lots of local Norwegian beers ... loved seeing this chart of where they were brewed.

    Scale not moving, but yesterday did great strength training for an hour. Sore today! Good sign it's working!

    Strength training is very important!!! Congrats of focusing on this type of exercise! I love my 2-5 lb hand weights ... not up to the 8 lb yet. And the exercises my class shows us to do to use our own body weight going slow and easy on the reps has really paid off shaping me.
    Keep it up!!!!

    Hi, Folks! My name is Darin, and this is my 3rd 100 days challenge (non-consecutive). I do better when I am obligated to post daily – it really makes a difference for me – and I love the community aspect. I’m looking forward to another great 100d!

    Starting Weight: 159.2
    Day 01--07/19 – 159.2 My company was affected by the Crowdstrike problem. I spent all day on hold with IT. My computer is finally working, but it’s after an entire wasted day. Note to self: next time there’s a system-wide failure, just leave the computer and do something fun instead. It wasn’t worth hanging around my work computer, looking at messages come in. I could have had a nice day of paint-by-numbers! Well, that’s my weekend.
    Day 02—07/20 – 158.6 Happy Weekend! I hope y’all are doing well. I’m so glad to have some time to relax and putter around the house. Also in charge of dinner for tonight, so will try to come up with something satisfying but healthy.
    Day 03—07/21 –159.6 mixed results for last night. I made a kung pao chicken noodle dish which turned out very good, but I also baked cookies which were not part of the plan. So four cookies later, I had nulled out any positivity from the dinner.
    Day 04—07/22 –159.9 COOKIES. Too many cookies! Stopped at four yesterday straight out of the oven. But cookie breakfast AND snack isn’t the way I want to go. I also feel kind of bleh afterwards – I think it’s just the empty calories/sugar. Logging it all, though. No matter what!
    Day 05—07/23 –159.2 Hard to focus at work today. Migraine did not help matters at all.
    Day 06—07/24 –158.6 Almost done with week 1! We’re walking early in the day due to the heat. Tonight it’s back to trivia. We won first place last week, so it remains to be seen how well we do tonight 😊
    Day 07—07/25 –158.7 Got 4th place yesterday in trivia. Boo! Next time around…. Looking forward to Friday tomorrow. My husband bought some apple fritters which are now in the house. It’s going to be hard to do that in moderation!
    Week 1 Goal: 158.2
    Week 1 actual weight: 158.7
    Day 08—07/26 –159.2 Moderately stressful Friday today. So glad it’s the weekend.

    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.

    Hi All!

    This challenge is my first one. I hadn't even looked at the Community part of My Fitness Pal before. Hopefully, this will make a difference for me.

    Current weight: 237 - my heaviest ever. I don't plan on seeing 250.
    100 Day Goal: 200 lbs.
    Age: 48
    Height: 5'9"
    Motivational Slogan: Just do it!
    Quote: Your body achieves what your mind believes


    Day 01--07/19 – 227.6 - Oh Microsoft crash, why did you cause my day to be so much busier with software issues? I'll have to make up for my exercises tomorrow.

    Day 02—07/20 – 234.5 - I thought yesterday might be a bit of a fluke. I did not commit to logging everything appropriately thought. That's a heck of a difference, but this is just inspiration to get myself together. I definitely have to plan better and commit more. Hopefully, this gets better. More than anything, I need to feel better. 🫣

    Day 03—07/21 – 233.9 - That's a little better. I'll take it! I was able to drag myself out to the gym yesterday. I could have gone longer, but they do have to close and go home. 😛 I was also able to track my food and water. I had a big deficit of calories left to eat and burned a fair amount. So, maybe I should stick to that formula. I just rejoined the gym this July. I know once I get into a rhythm and maintain consistency, I'll go far. I think this challenge will help keep me accountable. 🤩

    Day 04—07/22 – 235.0 - Tried and failed to go to the gym yesterday due to weather. I've been having really low energy levels. So, I will need to get a handle on that to make it to the gym. I'm literally dragging myself to go. I'm a night owl and hate to wake up early, but I also don't think going in the evenings is working out for me since I have to work late.

    Day 05—07/23 – 235.6 - No idea what's going on but my energy is really low again! So, I stocked up on some veggies and hope that does the trick to make me feel better tomorrow. I need my numbers to go down, not up!

    Day 06—07/24 – 235.6 - Another busy day at work for me with very little food and very little movement. They say the first step is to recognize your issue right? 🥸

    Day 07—07/25 – 235.2 - Forgot to post. Not bad for my first try. Hope to do better next week.

    Week 1 Goal: -3 lbs.
    Week 1 actual weight: 235.2

    Countdown to a healthier me:

    Broke my promise to myself so vacation eating plan was a fail in that I ate the bread basket every night at dinner and dessert at lunch, dinner and 4pm tea time on a 11 night cruise! Oh boy such bad habits on vacation to over come. Otherwise my eating was really healthy with small portions and no snacking. Lots of room to improve on my next cruise in October.
    Now to tackle these pounds and not let them continue to slip back into the 230s.
    7/27: 227.5 / 228.6 - The real weight gain from my trip is .9 lbs! Less than a pound. Shedded the bloat from the long 26 hours of travel and got my body reset to this time zone. I’ll take it and tackle that little gain before it slips away from me. 😊 Now to make progress … meaning I need to focus on WATER, exercise and journaling every bite remembering small portions pay off big dividends helping me toward my goals.

    Weekly Goal: Lose any vacation pounds and ensure I’m back < 227

    HAPPY DANCE! I'm still out of the 230s after a 2 week vacation!
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Hi. I’m Lynn, a working Senior, 5’probably 1” from B.C., Canada. Just reaching the point where I’m 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.( missed days 5 to 9 :( )
    Challenge Ultimate goal:
    (i) 174.4 to 160
    (ii) Food Jrnl x 95/100 days

    Week 1 Start Weigh In: 174.4 --> 174 Loss of 0.4
    Week 2 Weigh In:

    Day 01--07/19: 174.4; WW34/23 Busy helping a friend pack her mum’s house. No time for exercise other than that. Dusting off food jrnl.
    Day 02—07/20: 173.8; WW=43/23 Day “off” caught up with errands etc. It was 90+ until late evening. Normally I love summers but not so much with having to work in the heat. No ‘formal’ exercise. I've allowed family etc to take over too much of "my time"; losing myself without much gain. Re-setting boundaries and get back to sticking to a plan to lose. Ended day with being expected to bake muffins but said "no" because the house was hot, I was tired and I just knew I'd end up eating one or two.

    Day 03—07/21: 173.8; WW 25/23 Off to work soon; it's going to be super hot so hoping the a/c is working!

    Day 04—07/22: 174.6 WW 32/23 Day ended with thunder and lightning, multiple hits in our area. Forests are hot and dry so it’s stressful. Winter may become my new favorite season; snow’s a nuisance but not destructive.

    Day 05—07/23: 174.4 Last nite TV news is reporting there’s a lg fire in our area so rec’ing many phone calls and messages. Fire is about 12km west of us, beyond where the large burn in 2017 was so we have a natural fire guard. Care home residents are very anxious about the situation as misinterpretation and over reaction happened last night. People need to find a reliable news source to verify the stories before reacting.

    Day 06—07/24: 173 to Quesnel for another day of helping a friend pack her mom’s house. Hubby hit my car with his truck; huge dent. Many emotions! But didn’t yap at him. What’s the point??

    Day 07—07/25: 174 Con’t packing the house. Super tired driving home. Friends overnight.

    Week 1 Goal: 172
    Week 1 actual weight: loss 0.4

    Day 08—07/26: 173 Disbursed tubs of clothing then back to Q to con’t packing friend’s house. Forgot my cooler there; all this work etc is catching up to me. Again no food jrnl kept – this needs to stop!

    Day 09—07/27: 173.2

    Day 10—07/28:
    Day 11—07/29:
    Day 12—07/30:
    Day 13—07/31:
    Day 14—08/01:
