Spectacular photos!
I wish that there was a "wow" button or a "heart" button on here to react to posts.
I haven't been over to the East Coast in a long time. It will be chilly by the Atlantic ocean in October, but that will add to the quality of the experience.
So great to have a trip to look forward to.3 -
Hi : - )
I am Dawn.
5'2"
Cranbrook, BC
The most that I have ever lost on one of these 100s is 7lbs.
I have gained in each of the last 6 of them!
I am not sure what it is going to take, but I would like to get back to 130 and below.
Week 1 Goal: 146.2
Week 1 actual weight: 148.0 - Started the week at 147.2
Day 08—07/26 – 148.2 - Rushing this morning...
Day 09—07/27 – 148.0 - Just one job later today. I am not sure what I am going to get up to before that, there is stuff needing done in every direction that I look. I tried to sleep in a bit today, just on coffee at the moment. For sure I will be getting a good workout in. Nice and cool, so I could last longer out weeding than in the last month. Our temps are supposed to rise here again in a couple of days. Like you @Lynn__W fires are near.

Thoughts at the beginning of this challenge:
Last round I had my normal goal of a 12 pound loss which is approximately 4 lbs per month. That comes to about 90 days leaving the other 10 open for special holidays and social occasions. In theory, it’s a good plan. In practice it is a Mountain to Crawl, uphill, both ways. However, each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I CAN make, no matter how big or small. Sadly, I gained a little over 6 pounds last round. I hope to turn all that back around this round. After all, here in Northern Michigan I wait a very long time each year to finally get to good weather and more outside activity. I really want to capitalize on the good weather in the summer months and increase activity and drop pounds. I’m failing miserably with this so far in 2024. Time to maximize the rest of summer and early fall with challenge #20 and make the magic happen! I am so very grateful for all the support from all of you that I get on a daily basis. Working on my health has become my #1 priority. My main goals are to maintain my remission by staying cancer free and to keep my diabetes in control. Losing weight is key to both goals.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day 08-07/26-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) Today is my usual no-weigh Friday. I was still off the rails yesterday so it’s just as well. In regards to Foodie daughter, is it okay to keep blaming her and her Mary Poppins endless tote bags of food during her 4 days per week here or should I be blaming myself when she doesn’t actually sit down on top of me and force it down my pie hole? Ah….truth hurts. I am coming to realize that I do wonderfully as long as I’m not around food. I am safe at home around food most of the time as it is carefully selected things I keep in my home. However, I am Horrible in travel, during holidays and occasions, and around other people when they eat. It is horrid. After all this time, I’ve gained resolve but absolutely no willpower or strength in my bid for more self-control. It’s a hard realization but an honest one. Did I mention I’m not a child and I’m actually 64 years old? I’ve had a LIFETIME to gain a backbone. I’m having a lot of self-realization in a different light this morning. I hope these feelings last and help me move forward in a more positive and successful manner. Did I mention that my older friend who broke her hip and her pelvic (two different falls) has now fallen again and broke two vertebra in her back and also her pelvic again? I’m glad for the Friday morning Fosamax and hope it someday helps me better than it is helping her. Health is important, chocolate is not. It’s frivolous at my current weight and not very good for my diabetes either!
Day 09-07/27-189.4-(Trend weight 189.2) Still trying to lose the bulk and bloat from travel. I started back on the water pill on orders of the cardiologist for a one week experiment. Daily this time instead of every-other-day. Lots of water shed yesterday until about 3:00 then nothing. I assume my weight was even higher before shedding. Today I am making a crock pot chicken parmesan dinner which is loaded with pasta. I will make today an OMAD day, sticking to very low carb liquids during the day (broth, black coffee, water) to offset the damage. I'm sure I'll have snacks later tonight but I will work on keeping them to plan and in the right quantity. The dinner I'm making is an easy meal for the whole group and something I’ve been craving. I’m trying to show myself that I can have the things I crave if I fit it into my day properly and eat in the correct portions. On keto I was eating less than 20 carbs per day. Now I am keeping it at under 100 which makes it totally different than before. This allows so many more foods and now that I can eat them at a higher level (carbs), I need to learn to control it. Much different than avoiding it altogether. Tweaking, Tweaking…..

Excited to join, with the goal of getting fitter, stronger and healthier!
Stats: 5’5”, F, 40
Starting Weight: 126.9lbs
UGW: 118 lbs (concentrate on body fit & strength than weight)
Round GW: 123.5lbsWeek 1 Goal: 125.9 lbs
Week 1 actual weight: 124.5 lbs (-2.5 lbs)
Day 01--07/19 – 126.9 lbs. Soft start on IF to kickstart fat loss.
Day 02—07/20 – 126.1 lbs. Ate large meal at end of day. I was able to enjoy good food at party w/ everybody with no worries because of IF.
Day 03—07/21 – 125.2 lbs. OMAD yesterday, Had protein shake, some drinks and then food at restaurant. Feel hungrier this morning. Restaurant food and alcohol is not conducive to OMAD
Day 04—07/22 – 126.1 lbs. IF 20:4, surprised by gain but will take it at face value. Snacks, Protein shake, peanuts, burgers, strawberry cake for meal. Should have avoided cake.
Day 05—07/23 – 125.4 lbs. IF 20:4. Had balanced healthy meal at end of day. But after consuming large calories at end of day felt like there was stone tied to my stomach and felt immediately sleepy. Need to switch to calorie dense light food choices. Started and ended window early. Will move window earlier from today to have enough time to digest before sleep. After 3 days, it was really easy today.
Day 06—07/24 – 124.5 lbs. OMAD. Balanced healthy meal at end of day. Started and closed window early. Walked and was active for next 2 hrs. Felt better last night compared to night before. Seeing difference in measurements and fat loss. Think I will do another week of OMAD and fat loss and then switch to higher calories and workouts to build/tone muscles.
Day 07—07/25 – 124.5 lbs. IF, stuck to healthy meal. Wavered from the planned meal but still went well because OMAD allowed keeping myself on track without calorie tracking.
Thoughts :: IF helped significantly to curb appetite, kept thoughts off food and freed day, allowed staying on track without micromanaging. Need to keep eating window earlier and stay off heavy/greasy restaurant food and alcohol. Follow another week of 20:4 IF to cut fat but then should increase eating window to allow more calories and start strength training. Overall loving this daily accountability sub.
Day 08--07/26 – 124.7 lbs. Followed plan and ate healthy meal, but slipped late at night and had some cake and snacks. Late night snacking is trouble and I need a good handle on this. I follow IF pretty well but hubby deviating triggered me to deviate as well. Need to plan and stick to it. Weekends are hard for me, so need to be extra careful.
Day 09--07/27 – 124.7lbs. Night out planned with food and drinks. Deviated from IF window and closed it much later. Accounted for everything in food log

Hi, Folks! My name is Darin, and this is my 3rd 100 days challenge (non-consecutive). I do better when I am obligated to post daily – it really makes a difference for me – and I love the community aspect. I’m looking forward to another great 100d!
Starting Weight: 159.2Day 01--07/19 – 159.2 My company was affected by the Crowdstrike problem. I spent all day on hold with IT. My computer is finally working, but it’s after an entire wasted day. Note to self: next time there’s a system-wide failure, just leave the computer and do something fun instead. It wasn’t worth hanging around my work computer, looking at messages come in. I could have had a nice day of paint-by-numbers! Well, that’s my weekend.Day 08—07/26 –159.2 Moderately stressful Friday today. So glad it’s the 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

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 73.15 -
Day 08—07/26 – 65.1 kg. Oops. A leetle more attention to diet required.
Day 09—07/27 – 65.2 kg. I swear I ate under my limit yesterday and today - just waiting for things to move....
Day 10—07/28 – 65.1 kg

@deepwoodslady - You are on track for healthier eating habits! I really love targeting 100 net carbs (low carb) instead of under 20 (keto). It makes such a difference in my satisfaction with daily food choices. Yesterday evening my sister joined us and we had ham, homemade mac & cheese and asparagus roasted with basil balsamic ... yummy food where portion control was key. Lunch was at my daughter's home checking in on the granddaughters after our vacation.deepwoodslady wrote: »Day 09[/b]-07/27-189.4-(Trend weight 189.2) Still trying to lose the bulk and bloat from travel.

I’m trying to show myself that I can have the things I crave if I fit it into my day properly and eat in the correct portions. On keto I was eating less than 20 carbs per day. Now I am keeping it at under 100 which makes it totally different than before. This allows so many more foods and now that I can eat them at a higher level (carbs), I need to learn to control it. Much different than avoiding it altogether. Tweaking, Tweaking…..
Share your crock pot chicken parmesan recipe please? DH loves chicken parmesan and I never make it.
Oh ... wish I had these magic water pills you mention ... it would not have taken me so many glasses of water and multiple days to flush out the bloat from my 26 hour travel day I image.

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.
226.6 - Ending weight last round on 7/11/2024 before vacation.
7/11-7/25: DNW - Vacation Iceland & Norway
7/26: 229.2 / 229.0 - Gained 2.6 lbs on vacation at first weigh in. I expect some of this to be travel bloat and disappear by tomorrow but not all! I did walk most days 2-6 miles which I'm proud of! Pushed through the knee pain. And one day I actually got on the bike in the gym on the boat.
Not surprised that my weight is up. After a day of travel leaving at 3am Thursday morning from the hotel in Oslo … hour drive to the airport… flights to Paris, Detroit, Houston (airplane food on each leg of the journey and 3 bags of chips on the last flight) … landed in Houston at 6pm … picking up our dog & dinner with our son’s family at 7:30pm, another hour driving home finally home at 10:00pm Thursday night (which was 5am Friday morning Oslo time). So all in all a 26 hour travel day.
Broke my promise to myself so vacation eating plan was a fail in that I ate the bread basket every night at dinner and dessert at lunch, dinner and 4pm tea time on a 11 night cruise! Oh boy such bad habits on vacation to over come. Otherwise my eating was really healthy with small portions and no snacking. Lots of room to improve on my next cruise in October.
Now to tackle these pounds and not let them continue to slip back into the 230s.
7/27: 227.5 / 228.6 - The real weight gain from my trip is .9 lbs! Less than a pound. Shedded the bloat from the long 26 hours of travel and got my body reset to this time zone. I’ll take it and tackle that little gain before it slips away from me. 😊 Now to make progress … meaning I need to focus on WATER, exercise and journaling every bite remembering small portions pay off big dividends helping me toward my goals.
Biked 30 min, journaled, water 80+ oz
7/28: 226.0 / 227.8 - Back to clean living and better habits. Grocery shopping was huge since before leaving due to the hurricane electrical outage for 3-4 days we had to throw EVERYTHING out of our 2 fridge/freezers. So lots of fresh food and very few temptations or snacks in the house. DH didn’t even buy cookies so there are no sweets to add calories after dinner. Created menus and bought only what was needed though I did forget salad dressing … guess the selection balsamic my sister gave me for Christmas will due in a pinch. LOL
7/29:
Weekly Goal: Lose any vacation pounds and ensure I’m back < 227
Back under 227! YEAH!!!
HAPPY DANCE!

Hi : - )
I am Dawn.
5'2"
Cranbrook, BC
The most that I have ever lost on one of these 100s is 7lbs.
I have gained in each of the last 6 of them!
I am not sure what it is going to take, but I would like to get back to 130 and below.
Week 1 Goal: 146.2
Week 1 actual weight: 148.0 - Started the week at 147.2
Day 08—07/26 – 148.2 - Rushing this morning...
Day 09—07/27 – 148.0 - Just one job later today. I am not sure what I am going to get up to before that, there is stuff needing done in every direction that I look. I tried to sleep in a bit today, just on coffee at the moment. For sure I will be getting a good workout in. Nice and cool, so I could last longer out weeding than in the last month. Our temps are supposed to rise here again in a couple of days. Like you @Lynn__W fires are near.
Day 10—07/28 – 148.2 - I prepped myself nachos before going to work yesterday, and had those with a couple of cocktails when I got home. Very yummy with fresh stuff from my garden on them. Woke at 5am and listened to the radio in bed for an hour and then snoozed until 10am! Not sure yet what I am going to get up to today, other than a new market that I heard about last night from one of the customers in the bar. 2 jobs tomorrow, my longest workday, and then another day off for Tuesday. Liking this : - )

Diabetes, you can forget about this one!
This is so exciting to see. I feel very motivated to keep making small consistent changes! And, on top of it all, I’m learning how to use the App to post updates! I’m so grateful I found You MyFitnessPal Community!🥰5 -
@Lilylady3k This recipe is probably not what you are expecting. It's more like a casserole in a crock pot. Here goes:
Spread a little oil or cooking spray in the bottom of your crock pot. (I use olive oil).
Lay 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts nicely trimmed of fat across the bottom.
Pour 1 bottle of Wild Bill's Buffalo Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce over top of the chicken. (Many stores sell their own version too).
Pour 1 cup of milk inside the empty bottle to drain all leftover contents and then pour that milk over chicken
Lay one 8 oz block of cheese on top of the chicken breasts. (I cut it into 2 or 3 pieces so there is some on each chicken breast.) I use plain cream cheese but you can use flavored like chive etc. if you like.
Cook on high in crock pot for about an hour to get things steamy, then lower it to low for about 3 more hours.
Remove the chicken and shred it with a fork then stir back into crock pot.
Separately, Cook 1 box (1 pound) of bowtie pasta (I use Barilla). You can actually use any shape of your choice I suppose.
Stir the cooked pasta into the crock pot mixture and cook another 10 min to marry the ingredients.
Stir nicely before serving.
While this is the original recipe there are things you can add if you like. This will have a tiny kick from the bottle of sauce that was added. Ideas for additions include bacon, peas, broccoli, chopped red bell pepper, etc. You can serve alone or with salad and/or garlic bread. This makes a lot and it does freeze nicely. It is a minimum of 8 very nice servings.

Thoughts at the beginning of this challenge:
Last round I had my normal goal of a 12 pound loss which is approximately 4 lbs per month. That comes to about 90 days leaving the other 10 open for special holidays and social occasions. In theory, it’s a good plan. In practice it is a Mountain to Crawl, uphill, both ways. However, each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I CAN make, no matter how big or small. Sadly, I gained a little over 6 pounds last round. I hope to turn all that back around this round. After all, here in Northern Michigan I wait a very long time each year to finally get to good weather and more outside activity. I really want to capitalize on the good weather in the summer months and increase activity and drop pounds. I’m failing miserably with this so far in 2024. Time to maximize the rest of summer and early fall with challenge #20 and make the magic happen! I am so very grateful for all the support from all of you that I get on a daily basis. Working on my health has become my #1 priority. My main goals are to maintain my remission by staying cancer free and to keep my diabetes in control. Losing weight is key to both goals.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day 08-07/26-DNW-(Trend weight DNW)
Day 09-07/27-189.4-(Trend weight 189.2) Still trying to lose the bulk and bloat from travel. I started back on the water pill on orders of the cardiologist for a one week experiment. Daily this time instead of every-other-day. Lots of water shed yesterday until about 3:00 then nothing. I assume my weight was even higher before shedding. Today I am making a crock pot chicken parmesan dinner which is loaded with pasta. I will make today an OMAD day, sticking to very low carb liquids during the day (broth, black coffee, water) to offset the damage. I'm sure I'll have snacks later tonight but I will work on keeping them to plan and in the right quantity. The dinner I'm making is an easy meal for the whole group and something I’ve been craving. I’m trying to show myself that I can have the things I crave if I fit it into my day properly and eat in the correct portions. On keto I was eating less than 20 carbs per day. Now I am keeping it at under 100 which makes it totally different than before. This allows so many more foods and now that I can eat them at a higher level (carbs), I need to learn to control it. Much different than avoiding it altogether. Tweaking, Tweaking…..
Day 10-07/28-189.2-(Trend weight 189.5) I’ll be traveling a couple of hours each way tomorrow for a new doctor. A foot specialist of some kind. Then next month I will be sent for some painful foot testing and also another new doctor (neurologist) who will also try to figure out my feet issue which is likely diabetic neuropathy IMHO. Lunch will be out tomorrow which never helps the cause. Usually I am safe though when I’m back at home, but not lately. I’ve got to get my home habits back in order and instill peace again with my kitchen because right now it is a battlefield! I’m leaving early tomorrow so I’ll try to get an early weight on the scale and post later. However, I’ll likely skip Tuesday’s weigh-in after the travel. I’m usually filled with temporary bloat that is a bit meaningless in the big picture. I’ll need a day to let things settle in so that the real Donna can please stand up.

@Lilylady3k I don't think they will keep me on them. They did not order a new script for them and told me just to use some old stock I'd had. I am to take them for 7 days then go to the hospital for blood work. Although my endo has advised I don't take them, the cardiologist is ordering it. I think it has to do with the ultrasound results and the diastolic dysfunction. I have heard that you can actually buy water pills at the drug store that are not prescription but water pills are something that is almost always never recommended. If you try them for occasional use, watch your blood pressure. It tends to lower it because so much urination causes you to lose the sodium in your blood. The sodium they test for when doing your bloodwork. The important stuff. Always talk to your doctor or the pharmacist first.2 -
deepwoodslady wrote: »@Lilylady3k This recipe is probably not what you are expecting. It's more like a casserole in a crock pot. Here goes:
Spread a little oil or cooking spray in the bottom of your crock pot. (I use olive oil).
Lay 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts nicely trimmed of fat across the bottom.
Pour 1 bottle of Wild Bill's Buffalo Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce over top of the chicken. (Many stores sell their own version too).
Pour 1 cup of milk inside the empty bottle to drain all leftover contents and then pour that milk over chicken
Lay one 8 oz block of cheese on top of the chicken breasts. (I cut it into 2 or 3 pieces so there is some on each chicken breast.) I use plain cream cheese but you can use flavored like chive etc. if you like.
Cook on high in crock pot for about an hour to get things steamy, then lower it to low for about 3 more hours.
Remove the chicken and shred it with a fork then stir back into crock pot.
Separately, Cook 1 box (1 pound) of bowtie pasta (I use Barilla). You can actually use any shape of your choice I suppose.
Stir the cooked pasta into the crock pot mixture and cook another 10 min to marry the ingredients.
Stir nicely before serving.
While this is the original recipe there are things you can add if you like. This will have a tiny kick from the bottle of sauce that was added. Ideas for additions include bacon, peas, broccoli, chopped red bell pepper, etc. You can serve alone or with salad and/or garlic bread. This makes a lot and it does freeze nicely. It is a minimum of 8 very nice servings.
@deepwoodslady - Thank you for sharing! I did not expect anything less given it was a crockpot recipe. Sounds delicious though I'm not sure I've run across Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce. I'll have to check my store. I too use various pastas depending on what I have on hand! My mac & cheese last night was some type of rigatoni instead of elbow style.

My mother (87) takes water pills when her ankles swell ... I'm still not a believer of regular use and your cautionary statements will make me think twice since I don't have high blood pressure but it does drop severely when I'm dehydrated. Thanks for the info.2 -
I'm 58 years old and 5'6".
Current weight is: 216.7
Highest weight was 252.6.
100 Day Goal: To be under 200 lbs.
Week 1 actual weight: 217.6
Day 08—07/26 – 217.8 - Vacation 7 weeks ago & I've been off the rails since then.
Day 09—07/27 – 216.5 - Healthy eating today & tracked it all.
Day 10—07/28 – 214.7 - Finally back on track with eating better. Now to keep it up!
Day 11—07/29 –
Day 12—07/30 –
Day 13—07/31 –
Day 14—08/01 –5 -
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.6 -
Thank you @dawnbgethealthy. I would love to join this challenge! @deepwoodslady I am so happy you added the dates for us to copy - Thanks!
Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0

179 / 178 / 177 / 176 / 175 / 174 / 173 / 172 / 171 / 170 👉 169
I'm not setting a goal. I'm just going to see what happens if I stay on plan for 100 days!
Start: 172.6
Week 1: 172.0 / -0.6
Total: -0.8
Day 08—07/26 – 171.8 - Goodbye 172.X
Day 09—07/27 – DNW
Day 10—07/28 – 172.2 - I guess I said goodbye to 172.X too soon. Popcorn with too much salt.
Day 11—07/29 –
Day 12—07/30 –
Day 13—07/31 –
Day 14—08/01 –
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
180 / 170s / 160s / 150s / 140s / 130sDay 01—07/19 – 172.6 - So excited for Day 1!
Day 02—07/20 – 172.6
Day 03—07/21 – 172.6 - This is my 4th day at this exact weight. My plan today is to drink 80oz of water, lower my carbs and eat on the low end of my calorie cycyling.
Day 04—07/22 – 172.4 - Only a .2 loss but I'm glad 172.6 is gone. I am an impatient cook and really don't enjoy cooking at all so I tend to do whatever I can that is easy, and I make a lot of it to eat on for days. Yesterday, I cooked a lot of skinless, boneless chicken breast in a dutch oven with spices and a little chicken broth. Once cooked, I shredded them. The day before I cooked a ton of fresh organic carrots, and I steamed a big pot of broccoli. All are in the fridge to eat however, and whenever, we want.
Day 05—07/23 – 172.2

Hi, Folks! My name is Darin, and this is my 3rd 100 days challenge (non-consecutive). I do better when I am obligated to post daily – it really makes a difference for me – and I love the community aspect. I’m looking forward to another great 100d!
Starting Weight: 159.2Day 01--07/19 – 159.2 My company was affected by the Crowdstrike problem. I spent all day on hold with IT. My computer is finally working, but it’s after an entire wasted day. Note to self: next time there’s a system-wide failure, just leave the computer and do something fun instead. It wasn’t worth hanging around my work computer, looking at messages come in. I could have had a nice day of paint-by-numbers! Well, that’s my weekend.Day 08—07/26 –159.2 Moderately stressful Friday today. So glad it’s the 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 09—07/27 –158.7 Got a haircut and did some paint-by-numbers today. Looking forward to a gentle Sunday 😊

@Lilylady3k I noticed I typed to put a block of cheese on top of the chicken breasts. I meant to say "Cream Cheese". In regards to the bottle of sauce, I have purchased it at both Walmart and Meijers. Any bottle labeled "garlic parmesan" will do. I find it in the same Aisle as the salad dressings, mayo, ketchup etc. Enjoy!3 -

Day 10—07/28: 172.8 28/23 Worked. thankfully cooler weather and a bit of rain has slowed the forest fires, and Evac Alerts have been removed. Am SO thankful that Barkerville and Wells appear out of danger. Barkerville is a historic gold mine town; all natural wood buildings etc. Structure Protection Crews have mounted sprinklers on every building so everything is thoroughly soaked.

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

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 weekly
Strong & Fit 2x weekly
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.
226.6 - Ending weight last round on 7/11/2024 before vacation.
7/11-7/25: DNW - Vacation Iceland & Norway
7/26: 229.2 / 229.0 - Gained 2.6 lbs on vacation at first weigh in. I expect some of this to be travel bloat and disappear by tomorrow but not all! I did walk most days 2-6 miles which I'm proud of! Pushed through the knee pain. And one day I actually got on the bike in the gym on the boat.
Not surprised that my weight is up. After a day of travel leaving at 3am Thursday morning from the hotel in Oslo … hour drive to the airport… flights to Paris, Detroit, Houston (airplane food on each leg of the journey and 3 bags of chips on the last flight) … landed in Houston at 6pm … picking up our dog & dinner with our son’s family at 7:30pm, another hour driving home finally home at 10:00pm Thursday night (which was 5am Friday morning Oslo time). So all in all a 26 hour travel day.
Broke my promise to myself so vacation eating plan was a fail in that I ate the bread basket every night at dinner and dessert at lunch, dinner and 4pm tea time on a 11 night cruise! Oh boy such bad habits on vacation to over come. Otherwise my eating was really healthy with small portions and no snacking. Lots of room to improve on my next cruise in October.
Now to tackle these pounds and not let them continue to slip back into the 230s.
7/27: 227.5 / 228.6 - The real weight gain from my trip is .9 lbs! Less than a pound. Shedded the bloat from the long 26 hours of travel and got my body reset to this time zone. I’ll take it and tackle that little gain before it slips away from me. 😊 Now to make progress … meaning I need to focus on WATER, exercise and journaling every bite remembering small portions pay off big dividends helping me toward my goals.
Biked 30 min, journaled, water 80+ oz
7/28: 226.0 / 227.8 - Back to clean living and better habits. Grocery shopping was huge since before leaving due to the hurricane electrical outage for 3-4 days we had to throw EVERYTHING out of our 2 fridge/freezers. So lots of fresh food and very few temptations or snacks in the house. DH didn’t even buy cookies so there are no sweets to add calories after dinner. Created menus and bought only what was needed though I did forget salad dressing … guess the selection balsamic my sister gave me for Christmas will due in a pinch. LOL
Bike 30 min, journaled, water 80+ oz
7/29: 225.5 / 227.1 - Today I start back with my strength training class!
Weekly Goal: Lose any vacation pounds and ensure I’m back < 227
Actual Weight: 225.5 - BMI = 40
Challenge Weight Loss: 1.1
🎯 Returning from vacation and getting myself started back on the healthy journey was key this week. I’m happy with my focus and determination. Now to focus on no longer being labeled “morbidly” obese.
