    100 day Challenge 7/19/24-10/26/2024 **Do it for Mobility**
    Lily, age 63, 5'3"
    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.
    Including my template below.

    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.

    7/26 weigh in 297

    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!!!!
