    Good morning everyone!

    I'm following a few people over from another challenge and glad to see others that I know. Started a day late since I was travelling yesterday and not near a scale. Quick intro - I'm Sue, 64 years old and live in Southern Maryland. I'm sure we'll get to know each other better ofr the next 3 months. :) Good luck everyone!

    Day 01—10/27—N/A
    Day 02—10/28—153.4 :o
    Day 03—10/29— 152.0, I was 150.8 on Friday so supect yesterday's weigh-in was mostly from spending the weekend driving to/from VA, stilling in the car, not exercising, eating crappy road trip food.
    Day 04—10/30— 151.0, still shedding weekend travel gain and today is a Halloween potluck at work. :o 🎃 Hpe that I don't lose control there.

    Hello, I'm Brian!!! 67 year, single, retired male living in rural, tiny town Canton, PA 'bout 45 minutes from the NYS border. Lived here for 4 years now, though originally from the Metro-NYC area. Diagnosed with MS in 2018, so now stuck using a rollator. (Thankful to the gods, that I've not been diagnosed with anything more serious so far.) Thrilled to have found MFP, its challenges, and supportive community.

    Started on MFP on June 1st, 2024, weighing in at 286.2 lbs

    Day 01—10/27— 229.2 lbs

    Day 02—10/28— 229.4 lbs [Made a huge vat of hot and spicy cabbage soup yesterday which has been on simmer for at least 12 hours, then had two big bowls! How many of y'all did the "cabbage soup diet" craze of many years back???

    Day 03—10/29— 229.2 lbs [Tuesdays are normally my 500-calorie "fast" day, but I dunno. We'll see what happens!]

    Day 04—10/30— 229.0 lbs [I managed to lose .2 lbs even after eating 3 small croissants with pumpkin-butter? Just in case this was a fluke of the scale, TODAY is a total fast day, except for 0-calories beverages]

    Good Day All!

    Daria age 65 - my general daily plan: stay under 1200 calories, eat 3+ veggie servings and 2 fresh fruit servings per day, get my protein in and 8+ glasses of water.

    Highest weight: 205
    Starting weight this 100 Days: 198.9
    100 day goal weight: 184.9

    Day 1: 198.9
    Day 1: calories = 1162
    Day 2: 197.5 -1.4 lbs
    Day 2: calories = 1058
    Day 3: 196.5 -1.0 lbs
    Day 3: calories: 1168
    Day 4: 195.8 -0.7 lbs

    Total lost this 100 Day Challenge = 3.1 lbs

    This is probably the last of the water weight. Now the real challenge begins - the slow weight loss of actual fat. This is where I need to not get discouraged and keep at it regardless of small gains or losses.

    I’m motivated to take control of my eating having joined this group!

    I’m using the app MyNetDiary for my food calorie logging since that app has the free food label scanner. My foods for yesterday in spoiler below:

    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: 179.6
    Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx


    Previous Rounds Tally & 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!

    Round #1 --- 199,8
    Round #2 --- 186.8
    Round #3 --- 195.6
    Round #4 --- 211.0
    Round #5 --- 211.3
    Round #6 --- 205.4
    Round #7 --- 207.6
    Round #8 --- 195.2
    Round #9 --- 185.2
    Round #10—195.2
    Round #11---200.8
    Round #12---200.4
    Round #13---196.2
    Round #14---191.2
    Round #15---194.0
    Round #16---188.0
    Round #17---183.8
    Round #18---182.2
    Round #19---188.6
    Round #20---191.6
    Round #21---xxxxx



    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s





    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 01-10/27-191.6-(Trend weight 192.1)

    Day 02-10/28-192.2-(Trend weight 192.2)

    Day 03-10/29-194.2-(Trend weight 192.4) I woke up 3 hours earlier than normal and couldn’t get back to sleep. I’ll probably be pretty tired later! Pizza yesterday with my son after early voting. I didn’t expect dinner out but my son really wanted to make voting day “an occasion”. With his autism he is pretty much a creature of habit so because we’ve dined out after voting in the past, he thinks it’s a thing. I don’t eat pizza often anymore like I did in my younger days. I just don’t “crave it” like I used to. But it was good. Wow, what it does to the scale though! I’m going to focus on lots of water today and extra low carb to go with the low calorie plan. It’s supposed to be warmer and beautiful here today. A Capri kind of day. Enjoy yours my friends!

    Day 04-10/30-192.4-(Trend weight 192.5) Nice big drop today. I took a page out of the “ Book of @baodell17724 “ and opted for a very low 650 calorie day (and low carb) day. I would also love to do this about once per week as I think it’s a great idea but I’ll have to see how it goes due to my diabetes. Yesterday I felt fine. I’m glad to have lost the pizza bloat and maybe a little fat too. I expect that I will be extra hungry today but I will get through it or yesterday was for nothing! Today is an appointment for my hair cut. Have a great hump day!

    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.

    Day 01—10/27 — 146.6 - I worked very late last night, I left work at 2am and it was 4:30am when I got to bed. I did get up at 9am and weigh, but realized that I hadn't had nearly enough sleep and went back to my nice warm bed. So this was my better version of weight at 1pm. So far today I have basically done nothing but drink coffee and read comments from this thread. I am sitting here with ice packs on my knees and bad ankle, not really too motivated to do much today. There was public skating today and I don't like to miss it, but I just needed to rest my sore body. Extremely happy to have an entire day off today : - ) I feel like I have truly said goodbye to working 7 days per week since May of this year.

    Day 02—10/28 — 147.2 - Only one short 4-hour shift at one of my jobs today, so sort of like a day off. Tomorrow is a day off, but full of appointments - my known weekday off is when I book everything. Hoping that Tuesday next week I have a clear schedule to get out onto the trails.


    Day 03—10/29 — 146.6 - A day off full of appointments today. No time to harvest beets and carrots until the weekend.


    Day 04—10/30 — 147.6 - ouch. Heading into my 2 - 12 hour days. First an estimate for a heatpump....

    Day 04-10/30-192.4-(Trend weight 192.5) Nice big drop today. I took a page out of the “ Book of @baodell17724 “ and opted for a very low 650 calorie day (and low carb) day. I would also love to do this about once per week as I think it’s a great idea but I’ll have to see how it goes due to my diabetes. Yesterday I felt fine. I’m glad to have lost the pizza bloat and maybe a little fat too.

    I wish I had found out about Intermittent Fasting years ago, as it's been very helpful for me. It's very versatile, and allows you to do a single thing, or combine I.F. strategies for a week or longer. Such as an 8-hour eating window w/ 16-hour overnight fast or 6-hour eating window w/ 18-hour overnight fast. Or do a 500 or so calorie a day fast once or twice a week. Or do a 24-hour fast once every week or so. [I tried doing a 48-hour fast once, and it was mental torture, so it's def. NOT for me! LOL] But any fast may not be wise with medical conditions, and no one with eating disorders should do them. Many folks who have no interest with fasting on a regular basis, may still find a day-long fast helpful if they've hit a weight-loss plateau for several days, even with regular exercise. It's helped many folks to get over the hump of the scale not moving!

    Just remember to drink plenty of no-calorie beverages like water and unsweetened teas, etc throughout the day. That's important!

    I can empathize with you with your weight loss struggle, as I have been doing the same.

    I'm a third of the way through the fifth year of my weight loss journey, and I've only recently finally seen a weight decrease in year five, after good success in my first two years.
    yearly gain/loss: year 1: ↓87 lbs; year 2: ↓18 lbs; year 3: ↑16 lbs; year 4: ↑15 lbs; year 5 YTD:↓1.1 lbs

    This is my first time in the 100 Day Challenge and I'm hoping to get back to losing weight!

    Here's my version of your (visually illuminating) "progress bar":
    330’s; 320’s; 310's; 300's; 290's; 280's; 270's; 260’s; 250's; 240's; 230’s; 220’s;
    >>> 230’s; 240's; 250's; 260’s; 260’s; 250's; 240's; 230’s; 220's; 210's;

    I'm hoping I'll get to the goal line by July 10th, 2025--the end of Year 5, and then stay there!

    @baodell17724 I do practice IF on the daily, usually at a 16/8 . I've been doing it long enough that it is pretty natural to me now. I enjoy having my black coffee for several hours in the morning and early afternoon anyway so I am not usually hungry right away. Thanks for sharing the various types of IF and Fasting. I appreciate all the ideas and tips!

    Day 01—10/27— 136 lb. Alleluia! I never expected to get down here again. Now I am trying to give up sugar and coffee. Have given up several times in the past - longest period was 18 months- and I felt so much better. Plus my dentist was very happy with the state of my teeth. But social pressure when everyone else is addicted meant I gradually fell back into old habits, similar to gradually regaining pounds......


    Day 02—10/28— 136.1 lb. Not sure if MFP has correctly calculated the number of calories I need to maintain. Still doing the same amount of exercise - we are heading into summer here, so hopefully will be outside more - last summer was terrible, floods and high winds and Lord knows what. Today was first day without added sugar (there was a little bit already in the oatmeal). I'm concentrating on giving up sugar first, then gradually cutting back on coffee, since it's easier to focus on one change at a time.


    Day 03—10/29— 135.8 lb. Day 2 of No Sugar. I calculate if I keep drinking coffee at my usual rate of "intravenous drip feed", I will run out at the end of this month. Tossing up whether I should buy more or bravely go "cold Frappuccino." especially as I'm wanting to do a pantry challenge next month, to clear some shelf and freezer space and save money before restocking for the holiday season.


    Day 04—10/30— 136 lb. I intended to have another No Sugar day, but - raspberry bear claws with fresh cream at half price! I did share it with my son for lunch, so - Half a No Sugar day? According to MFP, I ate 4 calories less than my allowed amount today, but I will gain 0.1 pounds in 5 weeks?


    Day 05—10/31— 136.2 lb. Foiled again! My neighbor offered me some home-grown rhubarb, and when I explained that I had no sugar in the house, she gave me a quarter cupful. I think she might ne an enabler? Anyway, I had stewed rhubarb on a bowl of cereal for lunch and it was very tasty. Now MFP tells me I am 17 cals under for the day, and I will weigh 0.1 lb less in 5 weeks at this rate. So it looks like I need to aim at just under daily goal, around 10-12 cals.
