Beginning of Round Thoughts:
I am Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired. I mean, I am LITERALLY both Sick with many ailments and Tired of putting myself through this back & forth! I weighed 181.6 on January 1st, 2024. This has not been a good year for me. How much progress I can make in November, December and January is very very questionable, at the very least. Those months are riddled with holidays, baking pies and cakes, making cookies and fudge. Lots of decadent dishes high in calories and carbs. And lots of shopping excursions away from home which always include restaurants and long car rides. So many celebrations including multiple family birthdays as well! These are the hardest months of the year for most of us. But I’m not throwing in the towel just yet!. I will do ALL I can, As I can, When I can. Life is going to happen and I will definitely live it, but there are lots of days where progress can still be made and/or damages can be mitigated. I must stay steadfast and strong in my resolve. This is about my health journey, not just my weight journey. I will not give up based on what month the calendar page is on!

Day 57-12/22-193.0-(Trend weight 192.2)

Day 58-12/23-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) What a snowstorm we are having! I had 4 hair appointments today that I called and cancelled last night when I saw the weather reports. No way was I driving in this mess to pick up (and then later take home) both my DGS’ for their appointments linked with mine and my sons. I completely forgot to weigh today as I jumped in my boots and went out to shovel before UPS and FED EX arrived. Then came right back in to my hot coffee that was waiting. Oh well. It’s not the first time I’ve done things out of order and forgot to weigh. Anyway…..I have been reflecting on 2024 this morning. I started the year with a weight of 183.8. I’m feeling a little sad today. There is no way that 2024 will be a banner year for me. All I can do is focus on improving from where I stand right now. Shall I end the year with a whimper or a bang? It’s a tough time of year but it is always up to me. In the season of gifts, the greatest gift I can give to myself is dedication to my health. That kinda sounds like a New Year’s resolution, doesn’t it?

Day 59-12/24-190.6-(Trend weight 192.0) This is the 3rd time in 7 days that I’ve landed exactly on this number. Body seems happy here but I am NOT. Today I will travel to go get my baking and fudge making supplies before the stores close this evening. Our family party is Saturday so I’ve been waiting as long as possible to actually bake. Otherwise, well, we all know I don’t have any willpower. Not yet anyway! So T-Minus 3 lbs. with 2 lbs to go on my mini goal. I don’t expect to hit it by the end of the year but I’m staring it down and on it’s heels! Dinner will be out today so that will not help the cause. Just trying to hang in there as best as I can, even if it’s by a thread. Merry Christmas Eve to everyone who celebrates His Birth.

Hi : - )
I am Dawn.
5'2"
64 years old
Cranbrook, BC, Canada

The most that I have ever lost on one of these 100s is 7lbs.
I am not sure what it is going to take, but I would like to get back to 130 and below.
I started my weight loss journey because my doc threatened to put me on blood pressure medication for the rest of my life. I joined MFP at 198 pounds although I had been heavier than that.
I lost enough weight to chase away high blood pressure, but now the doc is saying that my arthritis in knees, feet, and ankles would benefit greatly by me dropping another 30 pounds. That number used to be 15 pounds, but I have been gaining and gaining these last couple of years.
I am an active person, and eat nutritious food.


Week 1 Goal: 145.6
Week 1 actual weight: 143.6- Started the week at 146.6

Week 2 Goal: 143.0
Week 2 actual weight: 144.8 - Started the week at 145.0

Week 3 Goal: 144.9
Week 3 actual weight:144.4 - Started the week at 147.8

Week 5 Goal: 146.6
Week 5 actual weight: 147.2 - Started the week at 146.8

Week 6 Goal: 144.8 - a bit ambitious but maybe do-able since I shouldn't be exhausted all week and eating dinners at 1am
Week 6 actual weight: 146.4 - Started the week at 146.8

Week 7 Goal: Anything under 145.0 until I hit it.
Week 7 actual weight: 147.4 - Started the week at 146.6


Week 8 Goal: Anything under 145.0 until I hit it.
Week 8 actual weight: 147.2, started the week at 149.0

Day 57—12/22— 146.8 - Day off! It looks like I will be losing my Tuesdays off for the next couple of weeks. I don't like that at all, but I will definitely like a fatter paycheque. Plan for today is to putter around, do some pre-cooking (and logging), and do my very best to relax. It is melting here, and there is no ice skating again until the 19th of January for me at the arena. There won't be any cross-country skiing or skating on lakes on Christmas Day due to the melt. It is beautifully blue and sunny here today. As much as I love working in the public, a rare day when I don't have to see any people whatsoever is so lovely for me.

Day 58—12/23— 147.4 - Low calorie day yesterday, but also low activity due to sore feet and my bad ankle. Not sorry to have taken it easy, too icy and wet to go walking anywhere. Of course I am not happy with a .6 gain. I think that I got out of my extra shift on my normal day off, Tuesday, tomorrow : - ) I will do an extra one on the NYE Tuesday. Sooo looking forward to tomorrow off. Just an 8 hour shift today.

Day 59—12/24— 148.0 - Super busy workday yesterday, ran around like crazy. Weight is somehow up although I don't know why. Well, it is not going to deter me from some Champagne and Camembert this afternoon. Although I was begged to work on my day off today, I declined. I need the rest : - )

About me and previous weeks under the spoiler!

Hey new friends! 🎉 This is my very first 100-day challenge, just in time to conquer the holiday season and I’m excited! My goal is to lose 7 lbs by the end or roughly 0.5 lbs/week.

For me, it's all about healthy eating and getting my portions under control. I don’t have any strict workout plans 'cause I’ve learned that juggling too many goals just makes my brain melt 🧠💥. I try to stay active, but I’m totally a "go with the flow" kinda person—no step counting here.

About Me - Canadian, work full time remotely, been on MFP since 2010 so I’ve been trying to lose the same 10, 15, 20 lbs for almost 15 years! 🤣 HW 184.6 May ’24, I love puzzles, Netflix, puttering around the house and my cats!

Week 1 - Down 0 lb

• Day 1 (10/27) 171.8 lb. Ran 10k, goal was 1800 cal. Garmin said I burned over 800 cal during my run but those are wildly inaccurate so I count that as 400 cal, then ate back about 200. Ended the day at 1850.
• Day 2 (10/28) 172.8 lb. I'm sure this gain is due to my big run yesterday and muscle soreness, I'm trying not to get bothered by fluctuations due to good things like exercise or strength training. Have a family birthday dinner tonight, have already looked at the menu and nutrition and pre-selected something. While I'd love to splurge, its not my own bday and I just don't think it's worth it today. I'll probably steal a fry or two off someone! 🍟
• Day 3 (10/29) 171.6 lb.🌮 I’m loving these daily reflections so far! Last night’s dinner out strategy: I pre-selected fish tacos and a small soup for about 800 calories, plus I had a protein snack before heading out (because prep is key, right?). Someone ordered appies for the table, and I did have a few, but I restrained myself. Ended up skipping the soup, and the fish tacos were awesome! I even ditched the tortilla on the second one. Still over my daily calories, but let’s be real—it feels unpossible to stick to a deficit when restaurant food is involved! This year, I've been working on changing my mindset around food, reminding myself that food is NOT entertainment. Last night was all about the family vibes—we laughed, shared stories, and celebrated a birthday. The people were the highlight, not the food!
• Day 4 (10/30) 171.6 lb. Hit the gym yesterday for a lower body strength session, feeling sore. Ate well, then bff called right before dinner to see if I wanted to go out to eat. We shared a main dish and appie. No idea on calories so prob another day not within deficit but I’m happy to have developed better restaurant habits so each visit isn’t a complete calorie blowout. Intentionally have not bought my halloween candy yet, will do that today to limit the damage! 🍫
• Day 5 (10/31) 172.0 lb. No willpower around Halloween candy, someone brought me a giant cookie I ate it, rode the bike for an hour, tomorrow will be a better day.🫡
• Day 6 (11/1) 171.8 lb. Hmm I’m back to Day 1 weight, I suppose that’s ok and it’s not an overall gain and I have to accept that with 2 restaurant meals, and Halloween candy. I’ll take it as a maintenance week. Time to buckle down again!
• Day 7 11/02 171.8 lb. First week in the bag! Yesterday rode bike on Zwift for an hour, today did ParkRun (edging closer to my 50 milestone! Ate well today.

Week 2 - Down 2.8 lb

• Day 8 11/03 170.6 lb Oh, the scale drama…anyway! I’m reading The Hungry Brain, and it’s so interesting. Just learned about “delay discounting” — basically, how much we value future rewards vs. right-now ones. Like in that classic marshmallow experiment where kids could eat one marshmallow immediately or wait for two. The kids who waited? They tended to make healthier choices as adults (roughly speaking!).
  Another study had adults picture a happy, successful future self to resist temptation. So next time you’re eyeing the Halloween candy bowl, maybe channel Future You with superhuman willpower—or just grab one and call it research!
• Day 9 11/04 170.6 lb. Yahoo!🎉 Two days in the 170’s. Ran 13k yesterday, just felt like a nice long run. Ate back some calories but overall kept it around 2000. Ate well today.
• Day 10 11/05 169.8 lb. I haven’t seen the 160’s in two whole years! I had a good calorie day yesterday so tried to recreate all the same foods today. Got derailed because I left my peanut butter and jam toast on the coffee table and when I came back I had a suspicious feeling the cat licked it. Upon close examination I’m pretty sure I could see a strip of jam missing and the texture was different, exactly the width of a cat tongue. Compost. Anyways, as long as I don’t have a huge snack before bed I should be ok for today.
• Day 11 11/06 170.4 lb Lousy day at work, went for a run to accomplish something of value. Ordered a giant fish burrito for dinner, logged it as 1000 cal.
• Day 12 11/07 170.6 lb 10% thru this challenge! flu and covid vaccines today, I've had fever and chills with prior ones so planned this one over the long weekend.[/color]
• Day 13 11/08 170.8 lb down and out with vaccine side effects
• Day 14 11/09 169.0 lb wow where’d this number come from?? craving comfort junk food due to feeling sick, but good thing is that I don’t have any at home. 2 week loss is 2.8 but I don’t expect the 169 to stick around tomorrow, sometimes i think my scale is pretty glitchy!

Week 3 - Up 1.2 lb

• Day 15 11/10 169.8 lb Sunday long run 12.5km, made a half recipe blueberry muffins with splenda
• Day 16 11/11 169.0 lb Remembrance Day today
• Day 17 11/12 170.2 lb Eating has been ok, I track daily but the accuracy of it has always stumped me as I cook a lot from scratch. i’ve often thought it would be easier from a tracking perspective to eat packaged foods, the barcode scanner in MFP is just so handy. went to the gym today for some lower body strength. anytime I want to eat or snack when bored i come to this discussion group and read the posts, this has been so helpful.
• Day 18 11/13 171.0 lb Hopefully just some water retention from sore muscles. Been eating well, did some easy biking 45 mins
• Day 19 11/14 170.8 lb 5k run with hill drills. Foodwise I’m doing terrible with protein, I wish I could consume premiere protein or other high protein milks but dairy gives me terrible cystic acne. i have pea protein powders but they are kinda ick.
• Day 20 11/15 171.0 lb Have really been on a rollercoaster with the scale this week. My eating has been more nibbly than before, there's quite a few things making it to my mouth but not the tracker! Going to focus on tracking well this weekend.
• Day 21 11/16 171.0 lb End of week 3 down 0.8 from Day 1, not really what I was hoping for. Well at least I’ve been consistent with logging in each day! I’m determined to make more progress.

Week 4 - Down 0.8 lb from Day 1

• Day 22 11/17 171.2 lb
• Day 23 11/18 171.8 lb Not letting this get me down! Trust the process
• Day 24 11/19 171.2 lb
• Day 25 11/20 171.8 lb
• Day 26 11/21 170.8 lb Food tracking going well, keeping the exercise up too. Scale doesn’t reflect it but feeling good and clothes fitting better
• Day 27 11/22 170.6 lb
• Day 28 11/23 171.0 lb Was feeling blah yesterday after a long day at work, just wanted to curl up on the couch and netflix. was scrolling this group and saw someone post how they rode their stationary bike. that instantly motivated me to hop on mine for a 45 min ride. that’s what i love about this challenge! i hope someone sees this today and decides to make a better food choice or get some movement.

Week 5 - Up 2.2 lb from Day 1

• Day 29 11/24 173.4 lb Staying positive despite the scale, went out for dinner last night, had wine and split a dessert 3 ways. Brought half my entree home for lunch today. Did ParkRun yesterday and got my fastest time this year! I was still beaten by someone “power walking” and looked 20 years beyond my age LOL! Its a grey and rainy day here, going to finish my coffee and head to the gym for some strength.
• Day 30 11/25 173.2 lb Super sore from the gym, I’m telling myself I’m gaining muscle 💪
• Day 31 11/26 172.2 lb Busy week, not much time for exercise so trying to focus on healthy eating. I’ve also stopped drinking diet soda, not sure why because I love it but I think it was making me snacky and hungry. Switched to flavoured bubble water which is growing on me, esp the pineapple coconut flavour!
• Day 32 11/27 171.0 lb
• Day 33 11/28 170.6 lb
• Day 34 11/29 171.4 lb
• Day 35 11/30 174.0 lb

Week 6 - Down 2.2 lb from Day 1

• Day 36 12/01 171.0 lb Gosh it’s been a busy several days and I have not had a moment to myself. I’ve been weighing each morning but haven’t had the time to update my posts. Well I’m a third of the way through this challenge and nowhere near where I thought I'd be. I’m not getting down about it and will just look back on the last few weeks as a learning experience. I’ve done a quite a bit of exercise, and this just reinforces what I already knew which is that exercise has no effect on weight loss (for me). Other benefits yes - but does not change the scale one bit. So, more focus on calorie deficit is needed! I ran 5k yesterday and 8k today, and tracked all my food so far. Going to have an apple as my after dinner snack. Congrats to everyone who is crushing it!
• Day 37 12/02 170.8 lb
• Day 38 12/03 170.0 lb
• Day 39 12/04 169.2 lb
• Day 40 12/05 170.6 lb In my mind I only missed posting a day or two, but obvs much longer than that. Work has been busy, trying to cram everything in before holidays…who says Dec is a slow month. Was ecstatic to see my weight drop into the 160’s again, albeit not for long. Its all good tho, still continuing to track my food. I really need to eat some protein, been snacking on too many carbs.
• Day 41 12/06 169.6 lb Yay another day in the 160’s!
• Day 42 12/07 169.6 lb

Week 7 - Down 2.8 lb from Day 1

• Day 43 12/08 169.0 lb
• Day 44 12/09 170.0 lb
• Day 45 12/10 169.4 lb
• Day 46 12/11 DNW
• Day 47 12/12 169.0 lb Work is very stressful, and I constantly feel like I’m fighting a cold with a sore throat that comes and goes. Managed to get out for a run yesterday but otherwise have barely been going to the gym or stationary biking. I don’t beat myself up about it too much as long as I have my food under control. Sometimes by dinner I’m down to very few calories left but i try to reflect on where i went astray during the day and try to do better the next day.
• Day 48 12/13 168.2 lb Wow where did this come from!
• Day 49 12/14 169.0 lb Yep didn’t last long

Week 8 - Down 2.6 lb from Day 1

• Day 50 12/15 169.2 lb Ran a total of 20km this week over 3 sessions, plus one stationary bike workout. Happy with my activity level. I have a gingerbread house kit that I put together on Friday. Ate a few of the candies plus one of the christmas tree cutouts hee hee! All in all I’ve been pretty good with treats the last few weeks.
• Day 51 12/16 169.4 lb I think I got like 38 grams of protein today, I don’t know why it’s so hard for me.
• Day 52 12/17 170.0 lb Haven’t had dinner yet and I’m only at 48 grams of protein. If anyone has tips to eat more protein (and don’t involve cottage cheese barf), I’m all ears.
• Day 53 12/18 170.2 lb
• Day 54 12/19 170.8 lb durn it all…back in the 170’s. i know life is not a number but i’m mighty annoyed. must be the salty chicken bacon. went to the gym today for lower body strength.
• Day 55 12/20 169.6 lb

• Day 57 12/22 DNW
• Day 58 12/23 169.6 lb

Only cried once today. Have consumed an extraordinary amount of holiday treats, but will soon draw the line and get back to regularly scheduled programming. Happiest of holidays to everyone!!

10/17: 217.5 - Ending weight last round on 10/17/2024 before vacation.
10/18-10/26: DNW - Vacation Northeast coast & Canada
10/27: 222.9 - Up 5.4 lbs in one week of vacation indulgence. I really hope that some of this is water retention from travel and will shed quickly in the next 2 days. The trip with my sister was great but I drank cocktails that had way more calories than my normal glass of wine. Think that was probably my biggest mistake. Starting this round in the RED!
🎂 Not the way I wanted to kick off my birthday … 64 years. Will I get to Onederland before I’m 65??? Bike 30 min
10/28: 220.1 / 221.8 - Not under 220 but I’ll take it. Today taking care of my granddaughter since she has fever and can’t go to daycare. My daughter is flying to North Carolina for work and her husband has 4 meetings at work today so they need Nana’s help with the little one. The other is going to daycare.

Weekly Goal: < ?
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Water! ✔️
Actual Weight: 220.1
Gain / Loss this week: 2.6
Challenge Weight Loss: 0
🎯 Still in the red so I’m going to work this coming week to get back down to pre vacation weight.

10/29: 218.8 / 221.1 - Gradually shedding the travel water retention and vacation weight gain. Wondering if this is my real weight which would mean I gained a real pound on this trip ... much like all my other 4 vacations in the past 2 years. Now will be the real challenge to get rid of this pound!
10/30: 217.9 / 220.1 - My knees are bothering me again after all the walking on vacation. Today I’m going to focus on the bike exercise and go back to my PT exercises to help stretch out and strengthen the muscles around the knees.
10/31: 216.5 / 219.0 - 🎃 Yeah! A new low and my trend is under 220. All the grandkids are getting together at my daughter’s home for chili and to trick-o-treat together tonight. I’m looking forward to it! This year we have Elsa and Ana from Frozen and a beautiful pink princess.
11/1: 217.7 / 218.4 - Indulged a little too much plus didn’t get on the bike but did walk with the grandkids trick-or-treating.

11/2: 216.8 / 217.8 - Great lunch out yesterday with an old friend. I chose a fun harvest salad with grilled chicken, spring mix lettuce, pumpkin seeds, roasted beets & butternut squash, goat cheese, quinoa with Fig Balsamic dressing. It was yummy! Never tried these veggies before roasted and never liked beets before but this I loved! Only ate half and stopped when I was full.
Today the families are going to the zoo. Lots of chasing grandkids in my future morning adventures.
11/3: 218.7 / 217.9 - Too much yesterday! Daughter brought both Kolaches and donuts which I had 1 of each. Then DIL brought key lime cup cakes she made for my birthday celebration which were yummy and I had 1 after a salad lunch and another after pasta dinner. The results of the indulgence showed up on the scale this morning.
11/4: 218.3 / 217.9 - 30 min bike

Weekly Goal: < Pre vacation weight 217.5 to get back to my starting challenge weight!
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Water! ✔️
Actual Weight: 218.3
Gain / Loss this week: 1.8
Challenge Weight Loss: .8
🎯 Lost most of the vacation gain but I’m still in the red for this challenge as I’ve not gotten back to my starting 217.5 pre-vacation reading. Lots of things I could have and should have done this week … bike, not eat so many cupcakes, etc.

11/5: 215.8 / 217.2 - I had a “spell” last night where my heart raced for over an hour (180 bpm). Drank water, lied down, breathing … tried everything I knew to get it to slow down. I have vascular syncope and almost blacked out at dinner when it kicked in. Of course this had to be the time when my DIL and granddaughter were staying over and my sister was here for dinner. Better this morning. Wondering if I burned off the calories LOL
11/6: 218.3 / 217.4 - Taking it easy today … bike 30, min walk 1 mil, paint, plan for potential move since remodeling as much as we want is out of the question cost wise.
11/7: 217.2 / 217.2 - Up at 3am … WHY!?!?
11/8: 217 / 217.1 - Biked 20 min
11/9: 217 / 217.0 - Biked 20 min, weed & mulch front bed, played with grandkids
11/10: 215.6 / 216.5 - Saw 215 during last round before vacation but didn’t hold on to it. Wondering if I’ll be able to this week. Biked 20 min
11/11: 215.5 / 216.1 - Took a 1.5 hr nap both Sat and Sun … I guess my body really needed sleep this weekend.

Weekly Goal: < Pre vacation weight 217.5 to get back to my starting challenge weight!
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Bike 4x this week ✔️
Actual Weight: 215.5
Gain / Loss this week: 2.8

🎯 Finally shed the pounds from the cruise and I’m below my pre vacation weight and the end weight of the last round. Now to get to 210!!!

11/12: 215.1 / 215.6 - I have so many art projects in process. I need to pick one and finish today.

11/19: 215.0
11/20: 216.1
11/21: 215.4 Stepping on the scale daily but not much else. I've not even looked at the trend but it seems fairly flat. Need to find the want and the time to focus on me.
11/22: 215.4
11/23: 214.9
11/24: 214.8 / 214.9 - Finally got the moving average as well as the scale below 215. Can I hope that it goes below 210 before the end to he year with all the holiday celebrations I have ahead of me over the next 5 weeks? I’ve not been on the bike in a while … Think I’ll ad that to my must do today list. Bike 20 min.
11/25: 214.3 / 214.7 - Today’s focus … Bike plus PLANNING health insurance, flights for vacation next year and begin decorating for the holidays since we don’t have anyone here for Thanksgiving.

Weekly Goal: < 214
Actual Weight: 214.3 BMI = 37.9
Gain / Loss this week: 1.1
Challenge Weight Loss: 3.2
🎯 Minor progress. Seems like I’ve been at 215 forever but in reality that vacation at the end of October pushed me up to almost 223 temporarily. I’m glad to feel like I’m making a little progress again even if it is very very slow.


11/26: 214.1 / 214.4 - Hit yesterday with a terrible cold that makes me feel awful.
11/27: 213.6 / 214.0 - Slept most of yesterday … wasted day but I think the fever broke last night.
11/28: 213.4 / 213.7 - Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Just DH & I today. Tomorrow we join our son & wife in Austin for Thanksgiving meal with our DIL’s parents, one of her brothers and some of their friends.
11/29: 214.3 / 213.9
11/30: 214.5 / 213.9 - 6 hrs in the car and Thanksgiving feast on Friday shows on the scale. Not unexpected.

12/17: 213.3 - one more party Wednesday then no more challenges until Christmas Eve. I need to get back riding my bike. I can tell I’v not been on it in over a month when I first get up in the morning crawling out of bed… I’m all stiff.

🎯 Just survive the holidays without a gain!!!

12/24: 212.3

Lots of food yesterday while I entertained 18 family and friends ... seafood gumbo, tons of appetizers and cookies. But I was chasing the 2 little granddaughters or visiting or cleaning or cooking so really didn't eat much. Guess that is a way to thrive to survive the holidays without a gain.
However today we head to my son't house ... sliders for lunch and short ribs for dinner plus my DIL made apple cobbler and pecan pie. We'll see what the scale does tomorrow!

Merry Christmas!

Following Harriet de Winton on YouTube to paint watercolor advent calendar ... a little behind but it has been fun! I'll finish it after all the company leaves on Sunday.
Extra Bonus is that I can't paint watercolor and snack cause the dirty fingers wouldn't work well with the paint or my clean paper.
