100 day Challenge October 27.24 – February 03.25

dawnbgethealthy · January 10

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 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 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.

Day 72—01/06— 148.4 - Ouch

Day 73—01/07— 149.4 - Double Ouch!!

Day 74—01/08— 148.4 - Crazy fluctuations.

Day 75—01/09— 147.4

Day 76—01/10— 146.6 - I had been doing an online course for my 3rd (used to be 2nd) job, a course that is compulsory. I was doing it in the mornings before work, so I haven't written much here. It was 8 modules and I finished the 8th yesterday morning and then ran off to work without getting a chance to post here. I will get paid for the hours that I put into the training on "Violence Prevention in the Workplace". It is a province wide initiative that everyone who works in any sort of institution is required to take (my 3rd job is as a dietary aide at a retirement/long term care facility). I had gotten away from my new thing of having 1/2 of a piece of rye toast with almond butter or 1/4 of a bagel with cream cheese each mornng. Since I have gotten back to that I am dropping weight again. Hmm. I seriously don't feel like eating before work, but I will try to keep this experiment going. 4 weeks from now my work schedule is going to change again and it will be a different mix of the 3 jobs. Meanwhile, I am keeping up. Last night it was dead at my second job so I opted to leave early, at 6pm. It was glorious. I got my laundry done, had a very long soak in the tub and pulled the TV up to the tub to watch some fluff.

Good Afternoon!

Remember....weight fluctuations are perfectly normal when you are doing everything right. Your body compensates for changes.

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 boil some for snacking and adding to salads. I am ready for the snow.

Day 72—01/06— 177.2 - Did some organizing of my spare room until my back warned me to stop, so I got a little exercise in. Hope to get my Christmas bins all put away later.

Day 73—01/07— 177 - Christmas is done and everything is back to pre Thanksgiving mode. Still have to finish vacuuming. But I was charging my smartwatch so I don't know the steps or calories.

Day 74—01/08— 177 - Had server trouble yesterday so I couldn't post my entry. Weird.

Day 75—01/09— 176.8 - Working some crocheting back into my routine. Might venture out tomorrow. Will catch up on everyone's progress later on. 🙂

Day 76—01/10— 176 - Progressing and I am glad. Going to take a walk in a little while. Hope I can handle the cold.

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 75-01/09-194.0-(Trend weight 193.1) After my hair appointment yesterday I just completely threw in the towel. I ran local errands in my town and the next for about 4 hours. I stopped at a local restaurant’s parking lot to make a phone call and decided to go in and eat. I NEVER do that! I threw all caution to the wind and ate anything I wanted for the rest of the day. I didn’t care then but I do care now. One good thing is that I hit up the grocery store and did pick up some more foods that are part of my healthy eating plan so there are no excuses today! DD and DGS come later this afternoon so I will have to be diligent but I will do it! I feel pretty confident right now. I am really feeling a lot of pressure and depression from this renovation issue. It’s consuming me. I need to get back in my lane, fight my body’s urges since the holidays and do the work. Me to Self: You’ve got so much on your mind right now Donna and that’s okay, but keep your eye on the ball!

Day 76-01/10-191.0-(Trend weight 192.9) Wow, a nice whoosh so unexpected that I had to check the weight several times. There is no explanation at times for when it comes and when it goes. All we can do is stay the course. Yesterday was an okay day. Some foods (dinner) while at home were still out of plan. But I followed a nice portion control. No exercise still since before Thanksgiving. My exercise bike has its hands on its hips staring me down and wanting to know why I’m ignoring it. It thought we were friends there for awhile. I hope I can respect this scale windfall enough to continue to make progress and maybe even make friends again with that ever-forgiving stationary bike. I am now back down below challenge starting weight by 0.6 lbs. Now I just have to hang onto the reins and not fall off this horse! I know I can’t make original challenge overall goal, but there is no excuse for me not makings some type of progress. I’ve not been in a plateau, after all. I’ve just been in a bad headspace.

Lynn__W · January 10

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 71 ~ 01/05: 179.4

# 72 ~ 01/06: 180.8 New high wt ; caved in to evening snacking to top it all off.

# 73 ~ 01/07 181.6, highest wt in years. Worked last shift, now entering retirement. Interesting because with the exception of a year here, a year there, between careers, I've always worked. Work has given me my schedule. Now it's a clean slate. What do I want the future days to look like? I want to rest and relax but not become slothful. I don't want to become driven and bitchy. Obviously need to lose at least 30 pounds and then will work on 5 at a time. in the past getting below 150 has been extremely difficult.
I hope to focus on "Me" ( health, social connections, find my spiritual Zen), the house which desperately needs painting inside first, then outside; but first also needs decluttering and downsizing ( like my 2 closets full of coats and hoodies). The yard also needs tidying up, have a couple of non functioning vehicles I need gone. Hope to add solar lights to the lilacs etc. BUT I also want to train so I'm able to do some awesome hikes and haven't lost focus on that 80km bike ride which will probably happen in September-ish. Life's definitely not going to be boring!

# 74 ~ 01/08: 180 no evening mindless snacking; no exercise per se

# 75 ~ 01/09: 178.2 Lunch with g/f's. No evening mindless snacking; no exercise per se.

@JimnKC

🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤦🏻‍♀️

I had to delete and reinstall the app myself earlier this week. It had gotten so slow it would time out or shut down when I added foods or tried to post on the boards.

When I reinstalled, it shaved 260 calories off my daily goal, even though profile and goal info hadn’t changed.

The next day I realized my Apple Watch wasn’t syncing and synced it to the app. It randomly gave me my 260 calories back.

Haven’t been able to get any explanation for that.

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.

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/loss to date (week 10): ↓ 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.

Day 72 01/06 – 149.2 (- .3) Much needed rain in Maui this morning as there was a small brush fire in my neighborhood yesterday. Hopefully, anything left smoldering is now totally put out. And I almost stayed on track foodwise yesterday, but I gave in to a salty / carb craving late last night.

Day 73 01/07 – 148 0 (- 1.2) Could have done better with what I ate yesterday. It’s always the night-time hunger that ruins it. I just had to have that pumpkin muffin after dinner. Why? I do have healthier options to choose from. Ugh! But I did manage to get an hour of exercise in so I’m happy about that.

Day 74 01/08 – 147.2 (- .8) Slowly edging away from the 150 mark. I’m guessing I’m getting rid of water retention from the overeating & junk food consumed over the Holidays. Eating was on point yesterday. Chose a healthier nighttime snack and ended it there. Did some pilates & core exercises, then a good stretch session which always makes me feel good. Wish everyday could be like yesterday.

Day 75 01/09 – 146.9 (- .3) Hmmm… not sure I trust this number. Ate well until after dinner, as usual. I mean it wasn’t that bad but I could have done without the muffin. Got an hour of workout in. Knee is hurting this morning.

Day 76 01/10 – 148.2 (+ 1.3) Crazy fluctuation. Eating was on point yesterday. No exercise though. Rested my knee. It hurt even more this morning.

Day 77 01/11 –

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 56 12/21 169.2 lb

Week 9 - Down 2 lb from Day 1

Day 57 12/22 DNW
Day 58 12/23 169.6 lb
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 60 12/25 169.8 lb
Day 61 12/26 170.6 lb
Day 62 12/27 170.2 lb
Day 63 12/28 169.8 lb

Week 10 Down 0 lb from Day 1

Day 64 12/29 169.2 lb Weight has stayed pretty steady throughout the holidays, can’t expect to lose given the indulging I’ve done, but going to look on the bright side that I haven’t gained!
Day 65 12/30 169.6 lb
Day 66 12/31 169.4 lb
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.
Day 72 01/06 170.8 lb
Day 73 01/07 170.4 lb
Day 74 01/08 170.6 lb
Day 75 01/09 170.2 lb
Day 76 01/10 169 lb Nice downward whoosh after TOM, let’s see how long I can stay in the 160’s. Didn’t eat very well today but I tracked it and went for a quick run.

I'm 36 years old, 5'3. SAHM to two beautiful toddlers, both with some special needs. Life is crazy, but I'm doing my best to make the most out of life for myself and my family.

Week 1 actual weight: 151.6
Week 2 actual weight: 150.8
Week 3 actual weight: 150.8
Week 4 Actual weight: 149.1
Week 5 actual weight: 147.6
Week 6 actual weight: 146.4
Week 7 actual weight: 148.0
Week 8 actual weight: 150.7
Week 9 actual weight: 148.8
Week 10 actual weight: 149.5

Day 71—01/05— 147.8. I don't really trust this woosh, I feel like it may be temporary. I ran a 5k on the treadmill as well as some walking. Food was within calorie goal, but there wasn't much good nutrition in it. I'll have to do better.

Day 72—01/06— 149.5. I ran 5k and did some walking on the treadmill, totalling an hour. But food was less than perfect.

Day 73—01/07—149.6. I guess "you can't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do" applies here. I've been doing okay. Food hasn't been horrible, but not great. Exercise has been decent, but not enough to offset the not great diet. I'm guessing this is about maintenance, since I've been averaging mid 149 for a while. Time to tighten up the diet (I'm sure I've said this a lot lately, but I'm serious this time, the lack of results is starting to frustrate me.)

Day 74—01/08— 150.0. Food was better, but still room for improvement (I don't need crackers when my boys snack!). Exercise was good, outdoor walk and ran 5k.

Day 75—01/09— 149.5. Food was pretty good. Exercise was good - outdoor walk and ran 6k.

Day 76—01/10— 148.9. Food was good. Exercise was good- ran 6k

Day 77—01/11— 147.8. Food was good. Exercise was a 5k run

Week 11 Goal: 147.0 (Going to keep this as my goal until I reach it)
Week 11 actual weight: 147.8

Previous and Future Weeks

Previous days' notes were lost when I got a new phone and my notes didn't get carried over. Copying and pasting from an old post proved to be too troublesome, especially for something that no one really needs or wants to re-read.

Day 36—12/01— 148.7. I was expecting my weight to be up from my sick weight yesterday, but wasn't expecting this much. I ate yesterday, but still well under my calories as I wasn't feeling great. Oh well.

Day 37—12/02— 149.1

Day 38—12/03— 148.3. I'm happy it came down a little.

Day 39—12/04— 147.9.

Day 40—12/05— 146.7. Woo-hoo! I'm super excited for this new low. Hopefully it'll stick for the end of the week goal

Day 41—12/06— 147.0. I feel like I'm in the zone right now. I'm motivated, my healthy habits are taking hold and becoming routine, and I just feel like I'm doing things "right". I know this feeling won't last forever, but I'm going to try to hold on to it for a few more pounds at least.

Day 42—12/07— 146.4. My boys are spending the weekend with Gramma, so I'll have some more time to myself today. Have some errands, chores and things to do, but hoping to also have some down time for Me Time and maybe a little extra at the gym.

Week 6 Goal: 147.0
Week 6 actual weight: 146.4

Day 43—12/08— 145.5. Hmmm... I'm dropping weight a bit too fast. Almost 2 pounds in 2 days? A bit of a woosh may have been building up, but I also think I'm a bit dehydrated. I haven't been focusing on water the last few days. So I'm going to try drinking more today, and see if my weight evens out a bit.

Day 44—12/09— 147.2. I drank more water yesterday, putting me around where I think I should be. I gotta stay hydrated.

Day 45—12/10—147.7. Took the day off from the gym, but went for a walk. Calories were just a smidge higher than I would like them to be. Going to pre-track my food today.

Day 46—12/11— 147.7. Anxiety was pretty bad. Exercise was pretty scarce yesterday. Eating was okay.

Day 47—12/12— 148.0. I was really tired yesterday so took it easy, again. Food wasn't the best. I'm going to do better today.

Day 48—12/13— 146.4.

Day 49—12/14— 148.0. My weight was everywhere this week. I'm just going to take this week's gain with a grain of salt.

Day 50—12/15—147.9 . I had a few drinks last night. I'm surprised my weight isn't up more.

Day 51—12/16— 150.4. My food choices were horrible this weekend so this is not much of a surprise. I'm back at it today though.

Day 52—12/17— 150.8. Well this isn't good. I'll do better today than what I've been doing the last few days.

Day 53—12/18— 149.7. Today's goal: no Christmas cookies.

Day 54—12/19— 150.5. Well, I had Christmas cookies yesterday.

Day 55—12/20— 150.2. Gotta pull myself together. Today will be better.

Day 56—12/21— 150.7. I did much better than the previous few days. Bummer that the scale doesn't recognize that.

Day 64—12/29—149.1. Christmas with my mom today. And then I HAVE to get back on track. Still have a pretty good cough, but hopefully that clears up soon.

Day 65—12/30—148.6. Christmas is officially over for me. It's time to get serious again. Exercise is still going to be limited due to my lungs still getting better, but there's no reason I can't get my diet under control.

Day 66—12/31— 149.5.

Day 67—01/01— 149.0. Happy New Year!
December was pretty much a wash. I had some success earlier in the month, but landed about where I was at the beginning. At least I'm not up. Onward and downward.

Day 68—01/02— 150.2. I logged everything. As bad and as far over as it was, I at least logged it. Today will be better.

Day 69—01/03— 149.5. Logged and stayed under calories. Also went to the gym for a walk/run on the treadmill. Trying to make the positive changes to see the results I would like.

Day 70—01/04—149.5. Food was okay yesterday, but could be better. I fell asleep on the couch instead of going to the gym, but did get a walk in earlier in the day.

I missed my goal for the week by a lot, but I have my habits going in the right direction and I'm sure the scale will be on my side soon.
