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!🥰3 -
@Lilylady3k
Oh my, I hope that you didn't catch the Covid, but it is in your house.
Yes please on the refreshing cocktail.
No, I don't grow cucumbers, but I have tried and tried to do so.
The kitchen at the bar that I work at will stay open as long as people want to eat. The chef leases the space, so is not paid by the hour, only on food sales.
On the rice front, I have also tried brown rice and brown basmati, cauiflower rice, and kanjac rice. I prefer white basmati. I make a rice cooker full and portion it into 1/2 cup and 1 cup containers that I put into the freezer and pull out if I plan to have rice.
Rice and beans is lovely, common in the Carribean and Mexico as well as the south. I should have that more often to boost my fibre intake and to sweep out my GI tract.
I love your calendar!2 -

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 11-07/29-189.4-(Trend weight 189.7)
Day 12-07/30-189.8-(Trend weight 190.0) I forgot to NOT weight in as planned due to the travel yesterday. As long as I accidentally stepped on the scale, I may as well document it. The ankle and foot specialist appointment was a bit of a waste of time. He can’t help me with my main issues although he does see a bunionette on my right foot he could surgically fix. He says the next steps to the neurologist and the EMG needle poking in the feet tests should yield more answers and (eventually) treatment options for my issues. He was rude to the point of almost being obnoxious. Whatever happened to bedside manner? Shame on him, he had lots of gray mixed in his hair and was plenty old enough to know better. I won’t be going back.
Day 13-07/31-188.4-(Trend weight 190.3) I had a run-in with my contractor yesterday making it an emotionally draining day. I don’t think today will be any better. The crew arrived this morning and is working on the vinyl siding outside, but he is not here yet. He will be working on my bedroom today with another drywall person. I dread even seeing him! I will try to stay away from emotional eating. Yesterday was tough but I managed. Yesterday I very purposely had OMAD plus my night snacks. I still need to cut down in the snack department. I’m a work in progress. Exercise has been non-existent.

Heaviest Weight Ever: 186.0
186 / 185 / 184 / 183 / 182 / 181 / 180
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: 0.6
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 – 171.6 80oz water
Day 12—07/30 – 172.2 - And up again. Expected. I was up at 3a eating so I could take tylenol for a headache.
Day 13—07/31 – 171.0
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

@deepwoodslady
Oh no about the run-in with your contractor.
I don't want you to have any stall to getting your bedroom finished, so that you can get to some semblance of normalcy.
If they are at the drywall stage then hopefully they are just about done.2 -

And it's so satisfying when you hit a milestone and acknowledge it, celebrate it, and check it off! Thanks for the inspiration!1 -

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 : - )
Day 11—07/29 – 147.2 - Nice little drop, days off do me wonders I guess.
So...this might be what it takes, expend close to what I take in?
Day 12—07/30 – 146.2 - Wow, dropped an entire pound. This doesn't usually happen for me, I normally only gain over the last couple of years. I worked my day shift at the Indian Restaurant, came home to change and eat a sandwich, went to my next job at the bar expecting to be finished by 10pm. 16 people (a group) started arriving just after 9:30 and all had dinner and several drinks. I was home at 2am!! Wishing now that I hadn't made a hair appointment for early this morning. I definitely couldn't start eating a meal at 2am. I had 2 black russians, a tablespoon of peanuts and a tablespoon of chipnuts. Yeah, not super healthy. Very little sleep, I will not like looking at my face in the big mirror while getting my hair foiled, that is for sure! No choice really lol. Dreaming of more sleep later, but I don't want to waste my day off.
Day 13—07/31 – 147.0 - Not a very productive day yesterday, I was pretty tired. I managed to get in 5 Fitness Marshall songs, but didn't get the grass cut or much work done in the garden. Our temps have been cooler for a few days, but are about to rise again. Perhaps I should try to get the grass cut before my jobs today. I was up way too early this morning.

Anyone else have a list of things you would like to accomplish on your journey?
Looking for more ideas
@Lilylady3k Your list is great! I love it! It's inspired me to write one out. I jot things down, but never an extensive list of all the milestones I want to meet or have already met. And it's so satisfying when you hit a milestone and acknowledge it, celebrate it, and check it off! Thanks for the inspiration!
@fmfdfa2020 - I'm definitely a list maker and it is SOOOoooooo satisfying to check something off and acknowledge the accomplishment. Enjoy your list ... share if you feel like it. Always looking for more ideas for my own list.
Today I cleaned out my drawers and then my cabinet of pants that are too small evaluating what I have for this fall if no when I lose more weight!2 -
@deepwoodslady - I've been away too long ... what is OMAD?
I hope that your bedroom is completed soon so you can move your bed back in!! Good luck with the contractors. I'm not looking forward to a complete downstairs remodel of my house if we move forward this fall. It sounds like a nightmare.2 -
@dawnbgethealthy - This was a very refreshing and popular drink on our cruise ship. Not on the menu ... basically we called it a Kevin Tini after the bartender LOL

6 cl Gin
2 cl Triple Sec
2 cl Lime Juice
1.5 cl Elderflower Syrup

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 😊
Day 10—07/28 –158.3
Day 11—07/29 –158.5
Day 12—07/30 –158.0 terrible night last night – have some kind of stomach bug. On the up side I’m not that hungry. ON the downside, lots of GI problems right now.
Day 13—07/31 –159.0 Feeling better and think that the weight is due to the salty soup I ate for dinner yesterday. Had a fairly productive day today, though. @Lilylady3k I love it! Your calendar is the tops!

Week 2 Goal: 156.2
Week 2 actual weight:
3 -
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.4 -

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 - Didn’t 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 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.
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 I’ll 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 but will still test for covid today so I can give my son and DIL a heads up before they arrive on Friday for the weekend.
8/2:
8/3: Sip & See for my new granddaughter on Saturday. Myself and the other grandmother are hosting a large party of our lady friends (45-50) to meet all 3 of my grandchildren. Now concerned that I might not make it if I’ve caught DH’s covid.
8/4:
8/5:
Weekly Goal: Obese stage 2 BMI 39.9 @ <225 No longer 🚫 morbidly obese!
BMI is broken down as follows:
* Normal: 19.0–24.9
* Overweight: 25.0–29.9
* Obese stage 1: 30.0–34.9
* Obese stage 2: 35.0–39.9
* Morbidly obese stage 3: 40.0 or greater
Feeling good that the scale is staying under 225 and the trend continues to go down!

4 YEARS in perspective. Taking a snapshot today in my Happy Scale app and found a few surprising things in the numbers.
1st - When I'm on point working my weight and focused on losing I can do it. In the past and today.
2nd - I've lost 16 lbs in 1457 days! Gosh if I had not regained those darn pounds I would have been very successful but that is past and I need to move on.
3rd - After a few years of letting my scale bounce around at the higher end I've finally broken through again with a downward trend!
When I look at the past 90 days I love my progress! The red blip is from the weigh in right after a 26 hour travel day and vacation but I didn't let that stick around ... I got back to focusing on me immediately. I need to remember that a bump in the scale or an out of control eating situation doesn't mean that I should throw in the towel or just continue to slide. Picking myself up and dusting myself off is one of the best habits I can incorporate into my lifestyle.

I tested again negative for covid this morning after testing negative on Sunday. So I seem to have not caught it from DH.
He has had it for ~10 days so we think I'm over the exposure period.

I hope that your bedroom is completed soon so you can move your bed back in!! Good luck with the contractors. I'm not looking forward to a complete downstairs remodel of my house if we move forward this fall. It sounds like a nightmare.
OMAD= One Meal A Day. I only do it on occasion though due to my diabetes issues.
Yeah, I really wanted my bedroom finished soon but we do have to take advantage of the weather. Today the sub-contract crew is outside on the siding and my Contractor and someone he's bringing along will be tape and mudding the ceilings in my master suite. That should start later today because the contractor is getting new tires put on his work vehicle today first. They actually travel about 50 miles each way per day to get to me. It's very beautiful but hot here today in Northern Michigan. Tomorrow they've forecasted thunderstorms. I hope your day is beautiful and you can enjoy it. I'm so glad to hear you remain negative for Covid. I hope your hubby is beginning to feel much better.3 -

@Lilylady3k Fabulous trends going on for you. I agree with picking up and dusting off is a necessary habit. I have to do it all the time, especially due to living in such a remote area and so much travel. As you know, it does get easier to do with time. It is so important. I always say that sometimes I give in but I never give up! I love the "long look" at our numbers for a truly better picture. That's one reason I've really come to love this 100 day challenge. It really gives us a bigger picture. But I love that we weigh in daily so we can see how certain foods affect us or how a lack of exercise makes things much tougher.
You have really taken the bull by the horns and its inspiring!3 -

Thoughts at the beginning of this challenge:
Last round I had my normal goal of a 12 pound loss which is approximately 4 lbs per month. That comes to about 90 days leaving the other 10 open for special holidays and social occasions. In theory, 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 13-07/31-188.4-(Trend weight 190.3) I had a run-in with my contractor yesterday making it an emotionally draining day. I don’t think today will be any better. The crew arrived this morning and is working on the vinyl siding outside, but he is not here yet. He will be working on my bedroom today with another drywall person. I dread even seeing him! I will try to stay away from emotional eating. Yesterday was tough but I managed. Yesterday I very purposely had OMAD plus my night snacks. I still need to cut down in the snack department. I’m a work in progress. Exercise has been non-existent.
Day 14-08/01-188.6-(Trend weight 190.2) Just a fluctuation likely caused by an extra early weigh-in. Siding crew has been arriving very early and they are making progress Fast! I have 7 more windows (all upstairs) going in soon and I believe they are going to help with that project too. My Contractor is impressed with their speed. They are also working on a quote for me to replace the roof (badly needed). Glad to be getting some of these outdoor projects done while the weather is good. DD and DGS arrive this evening for their 4 day stay. I will commit myself to staying strong!

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, so gained recently.
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 – 213.4 - Still on track with my eating. Staying under 1800 calories.
Day 12—07/30 – 213.4 - Another on-track day. Thought it would be up due to salty red beans & rice:)
Day 13—07/31 – 212.9 - Yet another good day yesterday. This morning I went for a long walk.
Day 14—08/01 – 212.5 - So happy that I made good choices this week, even at a restaurant last night.
Week 1 actual weight: 212.5
I am very thankful for this 100 day challenge. It is just what I needed after struggling pretty bad for seven weeks. Finally this week I feel good in my mind and am back on track.
@Lilylady3k Love looking at long-term graphs and trends. It's so helpful. Yours looks very similar to mine.
@deepwoodslady Thanks for the date template. It makes it so much easier to just copy and paste each new week. I really love your quote: "I always say that sometimes I give in but I never give up!" That holds true for me. As long as we keep getting up when we fall, and keep on going, we're good!

Week 1 Goal: 172
Week 1 actual weight: 174; 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 WW 24/23 Cleaned house searching for DH’s missing hearing aides.
Day 10—07/28: 172.8 28/23 Worked. 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. It'll take some time to dry the streets etc out but the town has been saved.
Day 11—07/29: 174 Work, yeah Monday, wt is always highest on Monday morning.
Day 12—07/30: 172.8 Worked; high carb day with Mac & Cheese followed by BD Tuxedo cake for our 99 yr old resident.
Day 13—07/31: 174 Back to Quesnel packing the house. Almost finished.
Day 14—08/01: 172.4
Week 2 Goal: 170.?
Actual Weight: 172.4 Challenge Wt change: - 2.0
CHANGE: no longer going to enter "Goal Weights" as I seldom reach that goal so again, aware of a feeling of "failure". I def have goals, but i'm going to loosen my focus on the numbers. Shifting focus on changing or rebuilding habits.
Week 3 focus will be: lessen the times I eat while standing in the kitchen or anywhere for that matter. If I'm going to eat it, sit down and enjoy it.
2nd Focus: Minimize breads crackers etc. ; in general lessen carbs.

1st Round GW: 168.4

Week 1 Goal: 168.4
Week 1 actual weight: 169.6 (0.6 Gain) Okay, picking myself back up!
Day 08—07/26 – 169.4
Day 09—07/27 – 168.4
Day 10—07/28 – 167.4 - playing catch-up and very happy that my efforts are showing on the scale!
Day 11—07/29 – 168.2 - little oopsy, but still sticking to the plan!
Day 12—07/30 – 168.2 - okay, I'll take this. Thought I was going to be up, felt bloated this morning.
Day 13—07/31 – 167.8 - yeah, slow progress, like a turtle, but I'll take it!
Day 14—08/01 – 168.0 - Slugs pace! I didn't sleep well last night, restless legs, finally got up @1am and did a shot of dill pickle juice... this helped, but still very broken sleep.
Week 2 Goal: 167.0
Week 2 actual weight: 168.0, Loss 1.6, a little off from goal, but a nice loss for me (I lose very slow) 4 -
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
Day 10--07/28 – 124.7lbs
Day 11--07/29 – DNW ( broken scale showed +20 lbs)
Day 12--07/30 – DNW ( broken scale showed -10 lbs)
Day 13--07/31 – DNW (gave up on scale)
Day 14--08/01 – 125.8 (not sure if reliable?)
Week 2 Goal: 123.5 lbs
Week 2 actual weight: 125.8 (+1.1lbs)
Thoughts :: This week was difficult. Tried to monitor and keep on the program but the scale started acting wonky and one day add 20 lbs to my weight and another day drop it by 10 lbs. Was super disappointed and lost interest once I could not track and ended up in binges the next 2 days with no accountability. Hoping to come back on track and use alternate scale. The numbers might not be super reliable but will order a new scale. I plan to change my method of measurement meanwhile from weight to inches if need be to keep on track and motivated.
