    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!

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    Day 67-01/01-193.4-(Trend weight 192.9)

    Day 68-01/01-193.2-(Trend weight 192.9)

    Day 69-01/03-192.4-(Trend weight 192.9) It’s very rare that I would be at the same trend weight for 5 days in a row, but here I am. Today reflects a nice little drop which I did not expect after getting only 1 hr and 3 min of sleep last night. Ugh!!! Meals were good but snacks were off again. My carbs are trying to inch up so I gotta watch that. I’m going for a banner day today. NSV for me, I threw away over half of a pumpkin pie yesterday. It was still tempting, even with being several days old and tasting stale. Very little fudge left and still quite a few cookies remain. I continue to lay them out for my contractors and they continue to leave less and less.

    Day 70-01/04-192.0-(Trend weight 192.8) Finally my trend weight budges after 5 days of staying the same. I’ll take that as a good sign Just gotta hang on to it. 2.2 lbs lost this week. Yay! My weekly challenge goals are always 1 lb and my monthly MFP challenge goals are 4 lbs. So I’m going to hyper focus on 4 lbs (not 5). I started the micro-mini goal at 193.6 so T-minus 1.6 with 2.4 to go. Today I take my oldest DGS’ and my Son for their rescheduled hair appts. Lunch out afterward. They usually choose McDonalds which is helpful to me because I find it too salty tasting (after years of dieting) and I usually don’t order anything. Not that there isn’t something on the menu I could get but I usually just refrain. So I’ll watch 3 big boys age 16, 18 and 28 wolf it down. Then I’ll come home and find out about applying for that Sainthood too (like one of my MFP friends did! )  That is, if I get past my DD and young 7 yr old DGS being here this evening and staying the night! I pawned every last cookie and piece of fudge off on my SIL yesterday who asked for some. NSV!

    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 9 Goal: Anything under 145.0 until I hit it.
    Week 9 actual weight: 150.0 - Started the week at 146.8

    Day 64—12/29— 148.6 - The first half of my 8 hour shift at the Indian restaurant yesterday was very quiet. I got in lots and lots of Fitness Marshall songs. the second half was busy, so I got in over 13,000 steps during that time. Weight dropped a little likely due to those. Today is my only full day off until next Sunday, so I am cooking and stuff for the week, doing laundry, mending and stuff. Overcast here today in this normally very sunny town. Wagner is playing on my Google Nest, very lovely day so far : - )

    Day 65—12/30— 149.0 - Dang raise in weight. Good calorie intake yesterday, lots of Fitness Marshall, but really no walking. Shoes really bother my bad ankle, so my one day off I didn't put any on. Yes, I did Fitness Marshall in slippers lol. Shoes seem to hit the bottom of the plate in my ankles, and rub one of the screws against my skin. Blueberries are packed for work today since my elimination this past week has been sparse. Another odd grey day here today for the sunniest town in BC. I will be indoors at work for 8 hours anyway, but I can see outside from there. Maybe it will want people to come and eat curry so that I will be busy : - )

    Day 66—12/31— 149.2 - Yet another day that the tracker tells me that I will be 128.2 in 5 weeks. So frustrated. This is what just about every day looks like for me:

    Day 67—01/01— 149.0 - My days are all mixed up from working on my day off Tuesday. I didn't make it to midnight, but hadn't planned on it. I had a piccolo of Champagnne chilled and a flute in the freezer, but didn;t end up having it. I did record one of the NYE shows. 2 jobs today, a brand new year but it doesn't really feel like it. For sure I am happy that my first job of the day will pay extra as a Stat. The other job I haven't been at long enough. No time for reflection and looking toward the New Year for me until my day off on Sunday, and then I will take some time to think, plan, and dream : - )

    Day 68—01/02— 148.2 - Hmmm, my only change was 1/2 of a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese in the morning - it must have got my furnace burning. Normally I don't eat at all until my fruit which is what I eat during job one each day. So I tried that again this morning, but only got in half of the half before running out of time. All good, it was something into my system anyway, and just an experiment at this point.

    Day 69—01/03— 147.4 - Hmm again. Going for the 1/4 bagel again this morning even though I truly have no appetite during the day except for my fruit at job one. Going to keep this up. Not going to run out of bagels at this rate lol.

    Day 70—01/04— 147.2 - For the last year + I only gain weight. Back when I was losing weight it was .2 pounds a day, so 5 days to lose a pound, could be 6 pounds per month. Problem is, that I can more than easily put on 3 pounds in one day. If that happens twice or three times per month then I am hooped. Frustrating as hell. So slow to lose, incredibly quick to put on. Well, just going to stick with it. Gone are the days when I was stuck at 130 trying like hell to get into the 120s

    I’m 5’2”, from central B.C., Canada. I'm a working senior but have just handed in my resignation; have retired twice but just felt there was still ‘more’ to my life; Now I'm ready to just chill, relax and fill my days with activities I enjoy.

    Day 67 ~ 01/01: 179.4 Relaxing day. Overate but journeled everything.
    Favorite Quote: “You don’t have to throw a pass down the whole length of the field to score a touchdown. You can get there one yard at a time.”
    Today my QB got ignored and roughed up a bit, but they’re still standing, and facing in the right direction!

    Day 68 ~ 01/02: 178 Today will be better! Have to break habit of staying up late because then I slip into fog eating; I know better but I do it anyway.

    Day 69 ~ 01/03: 178.4 Found a challenge tracking our wins/losses with Late Night Snacking, but going to incorporate results here going something like this:
    Lynn: 0 0 1 LNS took over the first 2 days, last night was a Win for ME!
    Journaled my way thru the cravings.

    Day 70 ~ 01/04: 178.2 Snowed a bit last night so moving snow ( use a push scraper, shovelling irritates my shoulder and HAVE to protect it for paddling season which will start in about 126 days! lol Also doing myofacial tissue release sessions; interesting, some awesome feeling stretches.


    Week 10 Goal: 175.?

    Good Afternoon!

    @deepwoodslady, I still have fudge left too. I am allowing myself one piece a day. Also tossing a cheesecake....but it was a terrible cheesecake. I didn’t make it. 😁

    Day 64—12/29— 177.6 - Feeling a little off mentally today. Going to spend time with my son and family today. Moving the goal up a bit until after the New Year.

    Day 65—12/30-- 176.4 - Didn't eat well yesterday, but lost a little. Still not mentally there...a bit depressed. Post Christmas blues?

    Day 66—12/31— 177.4 - I got out today for a food and prescription run. Got my new CGM's....have been without one for the last few days so I have been estimating my insulin which isn't recommended. Yesterday, I pushed myself to tear down my aquarium and clean it out in preparation for getting a couple fish to join my snails....

    Day 67 - 01/01 - 179.8 - Got out with my daughter today for shopping. I didn't buy anything but got to get in some steps, which I needed. Hope everyone has a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

    Day 68 - 01/02 - 178.8 - Today is starting to pack away Christmas. Its a bit sad when I have to do it but it has to be done. Will probably take a couple days to get everything organized so it is all put away properly. Working on packing away the ornaments now and then the tree. My back is still not 100% but I am resting in between with the heating pad.

    Day 69—01/03— 178

    Day 70—01/04— 177.2 - Snow coming on Sunday night into Monday, so got a few things at the store and put the snow cover on my car. I have plenty of food and am back on program.

    I’m Teri
    Age 61, 5’4”

    Challenge Starting Weight: 150.3 lbs (highest weight ever!)
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135
    Challenge Goal Weight: 146.3lbs (starting Challenge 64 days in)

    Late to the game but I need to try this again. I’ve gained a bit since I quit the last 100-day challenge (#18 I think), my knees hurt, I’m on meds for high cholesterol, I’m behind on paperwork, and my home is as cluttered and disorganized as it’s ever been. I know it’s all connected. I need to start making changes and taking accountability again. Consistency is not my strong suit but I refuse to quit. 😇

    Day 64 12/29 – 150.3 I’m sure my body is still recovering from the last few weeks of unhealthy eating and only sporadic exercise. Today was the first low carb/low refined sugar day in a very long time. High sodium dinner tho. Prepped 5 days of overnight oats to help me stay on track. I also did a 50-min. Peloton work-out. Off to somewhat of a good start. But it’s only day 1 for me.

    Day 65 12/30 – 148.7 (- 1.6) Tried to stay on track today. TRIED. Oh well. Tomorrow is our NYE celebration. Enough said. :wink:

    Day 66 12/31 – 148.9 (+ .2) Happy New Year everyone! Not surprised by my weight this morning, and expect the same for the next few days while my body processes all the alcohol and carbs from celebrating. I’m so looking forward to a great 2025.

    Day 67 01/01 – 150 (+ 1.1) Relaxing day watching some college football, visiting with family, eating leftovers, including lots of desserts.

    Day 68 01/02 – 151.4 (+ 1.4) Determined to be back on track today after 4 days of complete indulgence, alcohol included. Exercise might be a challenge as my knee still hurts, but I will certainly try to get some movement in. It’s also the last day with my DD who returns to her home tomorrow. Sure going to miss her.

    Day 69 01/03 – 150.3 (-1.1) Finally, a little decrease. Don’t think I’ll make my goal weight tomorrow tho, but that’s ok. We’re only 3 days into the new year. Couldn’t resist a donut from Krispy Kreme last night. My leg extension machine arrived yesterday. I hope this helps to strengthen my knees and reduce knee pain.

    Day 70 01/04 – 148.1 (-2.2) I met my not so ambitious goal weight this week. Most likely just water and inflammation (not fat), but it’s still encouraging.


    Week 10 Goal 148.3
    Week 10 actual weight: 148.1
    Total Challenge gain or loss: ↓ 2.2

    Sloan @iradi8 I signed up for a myofacial tissue release plan for $17 Cdn thru Better 5; now they have pretty mixed reviews but I figured I'd get my $17's worth. Altho I'm just beginning I have no complaints so far. Exercises are easy and don't require much equipment and are presented in a yoga atmosphere, centering, breathing etc.

    @dawnbgethealthy We went to Tampa, FL. My daughter wanted to try a restaurant she saw on TikTok of all places, so we decided to make it a family get away. Had a wonderful time. 2h9vcsq3olwl.jpeg
    This is the first time I’ve added photos so hopefully this works.

    What a great photo @coopdaw!!! Looks like all had a wonderful time!

    100 Days of Weighing In #21 ^^^^^ October 27th, 2024 thru February 3rd, 2025

    weight.png

    “We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

    My Name is Donna, Age 64. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 191.6
    Goal This Round: 178.6
    Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx

    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 70-01/04-192.0-(Trend weight 192.8) Finally my trend weight budges after 5 days of staying the same. I’ll take that as a good sign Just gotta hang on to it. My weekly challenge goals are always 1 lb and my monthly MFP challenge goals are 4 lbs. So I’m going to hyper focus on 4 lbs (not 5). I started the micro-mini goal at 193.6 so T-minus 1.6 with 2.4 to go. Today I take my oldest DGS’ and my Son for their rescheduled hair appts. Lunch out afterward. They usually choose McDonalds which is helpful to me because I find it too salty tasting (after years of dieting) and I usually don’t order anything. Not that there isn’t something on the menu I could get but I usually just refrain. So I’ll watch 3 big boys age 16, 18 and 28 wolf it down. Then I’ll come home and find out about applying for that Sainthood too (like one of my MFP friends did! )  That is, if I get past my DD and young 7 yr old DGS being here this evening and staying the night! I pawned every last cookie and piece of fudge off on my SIL yesterday who asked for some. NSV!

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    Day 71-01/05-193.8-(Trend weight 192.9) I was shocked at the scale this morning! Admittedly I did not log my foods yesterday and was likely over on carbs and calories but I didn’t think the day went too bad! Did something catch up with me? I dunno, but you can be sure I will be logging everything and staying on point today! I don’t feel like chasing my tail for any longer than I have to.

    I’m Teri
    Age 61, 5’4”

    Challenge Starting Weight: 150.3 lbs (highest weight ever!)
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135
    Challenge Goal Weight: 146.3lbs (starting Challenge 64 days in)

    Late to the game but I need to try this again. I’ve gained a bit since I quit the last 100-day challenge (#18 I think), my knees hurt, I’m on meds for high cholesterol, I’m behind on paperwork, and my home is as cluttered and disorganized as it’s ever been. I know it’s all connected. I need to start making changes and taking accountability again. Consistency is not my strong suit but I refuse to quit. 😇
    Day 64 12/29 – 150.3 I’m sure my body is still recovering from the last few weeks of unhealthy eating and only sporadic exercise. Today was the first low carb/low refined sugar day in a very long time. High sodium dinner tho. Prepped 5 days of overnight oats to help me stay on track. I also did a 50-min. Peloton work-out. Off to somewhat of a good start. But it’s only day 1 for me.

    Day 65 12/30 – 148.7 (- 1.6) Tried to stay on track today. TRIED. Oh well. Tomorrow is our NYE celebration. Enough said. :wink:

    Day 66 12/31 – 148.9 (+ .2) Happy New Year everyone! Not surprised by my weight this morning, and expect the same for the next few days while my body processes all the alcohol and carbs from celebrating. I’m so looking forward to a great 2025.

    Day 67 01/01 – 150 (+ 1.1) Relaxing day watching some college football, visiting with family, eating leftovers, including lots of desserts.

    Day 68 01/02 – 151.4 (+ 1.4) Determined to be back on track today after 4 days of complete indulgence, alcohol included. Exercise might be a challenge as my knee still hurts, but I will certainly try to get some movement in. It’s also the last day with my DD who returns to her home tomorrow. Sure going to miss her.

    Day 69 01/03 – 150.3 (-1.1) Finally, a little decrease. Don’t think I’ll make my goal weight tomorrow tho, but that’s ok. We’re only 3 days into the new year. Couldn’t resist a donut from Krispy Kreme last night. My leg extension machine arrived yesterday. I hope this helps to strengthen my knees and reduce knee pain.

    Day 70 01/04 – 148.1 (-2.2) I met my not so ambitious goal weight this week. Most likely just water and inflammation (not fat), but it’s still encouraging.

    Week 10 Goal 148.3
    Week 10 actual weight: 148.1

    Total Challenge gain or loss to date: ↓ 2.2

    Week 11
    Day 71 01/05 – 149.5 (+ 1.4) Out with friends last night. Had a burger w/ fries and 1 vodka on the rocks which has no sugar or carbs. I thought I kept it pretty much under control. Still no exercise.

    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 4 Goal: Didn't put one
    Week 4 actual weight: 146.2 - Started the week at 146.0

    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

    Week 9 Goal: Anything under 145.0 until I hit it.
    Week 9 actual weight: 150.0 - Started the week at 146.8

    Week 10 Goal: Anything under 145.0 until I hit it.
    Week 10 actual weight: 147.2 - Started the week at 148.6

    Day 71—01/05— 146.2 - Not sure if this loss has anything to do with my little experiment of having a few bites of cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese each morning? I truly have no appetite during the day, and the 1/4 bagel makes me very hungry when I normally am not. So far today I have only had coffee. Day off, don't really feel like eating at this point. I will get my Christmas stuff packed up today for sure.

    Good Day! Good luck this week!

    @coopdaw , WOW....that looks delicious!

    @DaffyGirl88 , looks like your plateau has ended. Great job!

    @dawnbgethealthy , hope you get your holiday stuff packed up. Mine is packed but the bins are still in my living room until I am sure my back is ok. I am in no hurry.


    Day 71—01/05— 177 - My egg lady texted me....her hens are laying again, so I went and picked up 2 dozen. I plan to hard boiled some for snacking and adding to salads. I am ready for the snow.

    @Crochetluvr My egg lady texted me yesterday, and I picked up five dozen. Her chickens are laying a lot right now.

    @dawnbgethealthy I finally packed up all of my Christmas decorations today. My son will help me get them into the attic tonight. The house looks so plain without!

    @coopdaw Ooh, seafood! Yum! Sounds like it was fun:)

    @Lynn__W Thanks for the info.

    @iradi8 and @Crochetluvr I’m my own egg lady 😂 I only have two girls and typically get 1 egg a day (winter time - less egg production) but that’s enough for my husband and myself since we don’t eat eggs everyday. We have a rooster too. Hopefully come spring I can get some fertilized eggs from the group so I can hatch babies 😀

    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 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

    • 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 59 12/24 168.6 lb Have not posted for a bunch of days now, Christmas craziness in full swing over here. Hosted dinner, turkeys and all the trimmings, everything turned out really well. 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!!

    • Day 67 01/01 170.0 lb
    • Day 68 01/02 171.4 lb tom oh well…been keeping pretty active nonetheless, food could be better for sure. the only treat left in the house is a gingerbread house. funny how stale cookie and candy bits are still appealing. might have to compost it pretty soon!
    • Day 69 01/03 DNW
    • Day 70 01/04 171.8 lb
    • Day 71 01/05 171.8 lb I’ve been much more interested in exercising and movement these days vs paying attention to what I’m eating. Maybe it’s just a phase…I hope to get back to accurately tracking my food intake again. I’m seeing huge improvements in my running tho so that’s something to be happy about.
