@age_is_just_a_number

Valiant attempt at sharing a spreadsheet : - )

I am always a bit confused by your calories out. Do you not just use "in the green" as your deficit after tracking your activity or consumption on MFP for the day?

Here is mine from yesterday (I am doing better on my fibre intake) - it shows my deficit after 705 output of calories from exercise:

Do you just add the 1200 calories (or whatever number you chose) consumption to your daily to come up with your calories out?

Hi everyone.
I am Dawn, 64 years old, I live in SE BC Canada
I'm not sure how many rounds of this 100 that I have done, but quite a few. I first joined this thread at 198 pounds.
I was sitting at 130 pounds in 2021, working very hard to get into the 120s (ugw 110-118)
The weight that I am currently at is very hard on the joints in my knees, ankle, and feet.

Week 1 Start Weight: 149.6
Week 1 Goal: 146.6 - The start weight of the previous 100. Putting that it each week until I hit it
Week 1 Actual Weight: 151.2 - Superbowl backlash

Week 2 Start Weight: 150.6
Week 2 Goal: 146.6 - The start weight of the previous 100. Putting that it each week until I hit it
Week 2 Actual Weight: 150.0

Week 3 Start Weight: 150.2
Week 3 Goal: Anything below 149
Week 3 Actual Weight: 149.0

Week 4 Start Weight: 147.4
Week 4 Goal: 146.4
Week 4 Actual Weight: 150.6 : - (

Week 5 Start Weight: 150.4
Week 5 Goal: end the fibre supplement
Week 5 Actual Weight: 149.6

Week 6 Start Weight: 149.4
Week 6 Goal: 147.4
Week 6 Actual Weight: 149.4 - hit 148.6 once

Week 7 Start Weight: 149.6
Week 7 Goal: 147.6
Week 7 Actual Weight: 151.4

Week 8 Start Weight: 150.0
Week 8 Goal: 149.0
Week 8 Actual Weight: 150.2

Day 57—04/01— 149.6 - Day off!! I walked downtown to pay my house insurance and do some banking. I am going to abandon my post of getting outside for a minimum of 5 minute (my mini challenge) but I am mindful now of how important it is, and am 100% committed to do it. Working 6 days a week is exhausting, but I am going to keep that up too for now.

Day 58—04/02— 149.6 - It was so nice to have a day off. I was pretty tired, but got the basics done: laundry, vacuuming and stuff. I also languished in a bath with the TV pulled up close during the time when I would normally be at work : -) 2 jobs today and tomorrow.

Day 59—04/03—

Day 60—04/04—

Day 61—04/05—

Day 62—04/06—

Day 63—04/07—

Week 9 Start Weight: 149.6 (same as the beginning of this 100)
Week 9 Goal: 145.0 - Just going to put this in each week until I hit it, or maybe I will change it tomorrow lol

I've never been able to wrap my head around what MFP is doing with the calories. I use MFP food log for calories in and FitBit for calories out. In theory, it should be the same. I have MFP set to 'eat back' calories burned, over the years, I've found if I do that, I do not lose weight.

age_is_just_a_number · April 2

I'm starting to think weighing daily is getting me frustrated. I was really expecting this morning to be lower 😓.

On a more positive note: It is snowing here! I real spring blizzard. I love the snow. Strangely, tomorrow is supposed to be 18C. It will be more than a 20 degree temperature change.

About me and previous weeks under the spoiler

Hello! Last round was my first 100 day challenge and my goal was to lose 0.5 lb/week for a total of 7 lbs. With several treat filled holidays, a week long work trip aka the all-restaurant-food diet, I think I did fairly ok-ish with a total loss of 2.5 lb.

For the next 100 days, I still have the MFP settings set to lose 0.5 lb/week, but to lose 7 lbs would require me to stick to it 100% which I don't think is feasible. I'm going to give myself a more realistic target and aim for 3-4 lb.

As for my strategy, well based on my age, gender and activity level my target calories are in the 1500-1600 range in order to lose that 0.5 lb/week. Not a whole lot of calories to be honest, but knowing this absolutely explains how easily I can end up in a calorie surplus or maintenance. So...all I have to do now is track :D easy peasy right?? I'd love to hear what other people's strategies are. Are you more focused on exercise? Following a specific eating plan?

Now on to the numbers:

Week 1

Day 1 - 02/04 169.4 lb
Day 2 - 02/05 169.0 lb
Day 3 - 02/06 169.4 lb

Week 2

Day 9 - 02/12 170.6 lb
Day 10 - 02/13 169.8 lb

the_reflex · April 3

Day 1, Tue 87.2 kg, looking in the mirror I would describe myself as being about 40% obese and 60% overweight. I’ll update that on Day 50. I’m not sure how much I can lose because I don’t know what my current rate of exercise and diet produce. I guess I’ll find out in a few weeks. Using an app to track my food. I’m aiming for an average of 6,000 kilojoules. I’ll post how much I’m spending on food because I’m using this challenge to train myself to keep to a food budget. $800 for the whole period. Today I had a splurge and spent $37.16. I ate 9,889 kilojoules so that’s my average so far. At the gym I ran 5 minutes at 5.5 km/hr, 5 minutes at 5.4 and 20 minutes at 5.3. For the last 10 minutes I’m starting to notice how hot I am.

Day 2, Wed 87.7 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, it only gets harder at the start of a new month. Food spending $3.70 so I'm averaging $20.43 per day, average daily food intake is 7741 kilojoules.

Day 3, Thu 88.0 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 7011 kilojoules and average food spending is $14.85

Day 4, Fri 87.2 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 6780 kilojoules and average food spending is $13.39.

Day 5, Sat 86.9 kg I had a 5 kilometer run in a park, timed, average food intake is 7222 kilojoules and average food spending is $13.

Day 6, Sun 86.7 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 7027 kilojoules and average food spending is $12.28.

Day 7, Mon 87.0 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 6950 kilojoules and average food spending is $11.28. I need to eat less, starting Wednesday I'm giving myself a challenge: eat below 6000 kilojoules until my average is 6000. I'm allowed to break that challenge if I get a new personal best time on my Saturday runs.

Day 8, Tue 86.5 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake 6994 kilojoules and average food spending is $10.93.

Day 9, Wed 87.5 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 6859 Kilojoules and I'm $51 overspent on my food budget. I'm doing a little challenge of eating below 6000 kilojoules and I've completed one day successfully.

Day 10, Thu 86.6 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 6767 kilojoules and I'm $43 overspent on my food budget. 2 days of my little challenge to eat below 6000 kilojoules. I'm allowed to break that challenge for when I get a new personal best time on Saturday's runs, as well as February 20 and 1st Wednesday in March.

10 days - how is it going? I've lost 0.6 kilograms which is alright. I just need to eat less a little bit more often.

Day 11, Fri 86.6 kg so I only use treadmills at the gym which have emergency stop cord, so that means I can only use one treadmill. The other 3 have broken clips. It was being used when I arrived and also after my shower so I used the elliptical instead. I did 30 minutes at the highest setting with an average pace of 15:50. The next time I use that I'll aim for 15:45. My food spending is $35 over budget. My average food intake is 6696 Kilojoules. Still doing my little challenge to reduce my intake - 3 days.

Day 12, Sat 86.8 kg exercise I had a 5 kilometer run in a park (with 930 other people) and I had a personal best time on that route. Apparently I'm increasing by 4.9 seconds per week. I had a celebratory sugarfest. My average food intake is 6928 kilojoules and my food spending is $55 over budget. I chose a arbitrary average food intake of 6000 kilojoules at the start of this challenge, it's a bit slow so I'm now going for 5900 kilojoules average food.

Day 13, Sun 86.6 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, my food spending is $47 over budget and my average food intake is 6833 kilojoules.

Day 14, Mon 87.4 kg, exercise is the same as Day 1, my food spending is $39 over budget and my average food intake is 6769 kilojoules. The good news is that I've been losing weight for 9 weeks. The bad news is that my weigh loss is rather slow. I'm comfortable doing it at this rate but I want to speed things up. I want to get my average intake to 5900 kilojoules and I'm giving myself a small challenge - get down to 5900 kilojoules average in 28 days or less and I can have a sugarfest.

Day 15, Tue 87.0 kg, exercise was 30 minutes on the elliptical, pace 15:45. The next time I use that I want it to be 15:40. Food overspending is $40. Average food intake is 6727 kilojoules.

Day 16, Wed 87.2 kg, exercise was 30-40 minutes walking. Food overspending is $40. Average food intake is 6747 kilojoules.

Day 17, Thu 86.4 kg, exercise was same as Day 1, food overspending is $37, average food intake is 6965 kilojoules.

Day 18, Fri 87.4 kg, exercise was same as Day 1, food overspending is $45, average food intake is 6951 kilojoules.

Day 19, Sat 87.5 kg, exercise was a 5 km outdoor run (I had a personal best time on that route), food overspending is $64, average food intake is 7129 kilojoules.

Day 20, Sun 87.2 kg, exercise is same as Day 1, food overspending is $77, average food intake is 7001 kilojoules.

20 days - how is it going? I'm losing weight (10 weeks in a row) but I'm eating too much, my weight loss is too slow. I'm also spending too much but I've figured out what I can eat which is low cost and also beneficial to my eczema - green peas. My eczema has reached a point where it's keeping me awake at night.

Day 21, Mon 87.1 kg, exercise is same as Day 1, food overspending is $73, average food intake is 6886 kilojoules.

Day 22, Tue 86.6 kg, exercise is 30 minutes on elliptical, average pace is 15:40, the next time I want my pace to be 15.38. Food overspending is $68 and average food intake is 6800 kilojoules.

Day 23, Wed 86.4 kg, exercise is same as Day 1, food overspending is $64 and average food intake is 6720 kilojoules.

Day 24, Thu 85.8 kg, 30 minutes on the elliptical, the energy estimator on that is massively off, so I'm just going to call it 230 units. Next time I want to do 235. Food overspending is $92. Average food intake is 6817 kilojoules.

Another kilogram lost

I'm not losing weight particularly quickly. So I'm giving myself a challenge. How many days in a row can I eat below 6,000 kilojoules? I think I've achieved about 12 days in the past. The challenge starts on Thursday. I'm also giving myself a food 'rule'. Sausage and chips only allowed when I do laundry (once every 14 days). Basically I just like it too much.

Day 44, Wed 85.2 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $308. Average food intake is 7245 kilojoules.

Day 45, Thu 86.2 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $296. First day of being below 6000 kilojoules eaten.

Day 46, Fri 85.8 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $292. Two days in a row of eating below 6000 kilojoules.

Day 47, Sat 85.5 kg, exercise is a 5 kilometer parkrun event. Food overspending is $309. Average food intake is 7261 kilojoules.

Day 48, Sun 85.9 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $307. Average food intake is 7285 kilojoules.

Day 49, Mon 86.2 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $315. One day of eating below 6000 kilojoules.

Day 50, Tue 85.6 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $330. Average food intake is 7303 kilojoules.

Day 50 update, how is it going? I'm eating too much food, since 1st January (when I restarted tracking my intake) I've overeaten enough to put on 3 kilograms of fat. When I reach goal weight, I want my average intake to be 6,000 kilojoules (or less). I've pretty much given up on the idea of reaching goal weight by the end of 2025. I have no idea when I'll reach goal weight, maybe 1st July 2026? 5 1/2 years go lose 32 kg. I also have massively overspent on food. This is the real deal for me, my parents have gone and I don't have any inheritance left. I need to train myself to keep to a budget for food. It seems to be my ultimate challenge. I don't know if I can underspend in the future for food because my eczema has worsened in the last 3 months and I may be wheat sensitive, so most of my intake will be fruit and vegetables which aren't very cheap. I think I can reach goal weight by 1st July next year, it shouldn't be too difficult. Of course, if something bad happens all bets are off.

Day 51, Wed 85.2 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $333. One day of being below 6000 kilojoules eaten.

Day 52, Thu 85.2 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $355. Average food intake is 7359 kilojoules

Day 53, Fri 85.8 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $358. Average food intake is 7287 kilojoules

Day 54, Sat 85.8 kg, exercise is a 5 kilometer parkrun event. Food overspending is $371. Average food intake is 7359 kilojoules

Day 55, Sun 85.8 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $367. Average food intake is 7379 kilojoules.

Day 56, Mon 85.7 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $386. Average food intake is 7386 kilojoules.

Day 57, Tue 84.7 kg, exercise is 5.6 kilometers an hour running on the treadmill for 5 minutes, 5.5 for 5 minutes, 5.4 for 5 minutes, 5.3 for 15 minutes. Food overspending is $385. Average food intake is 7403 kilojoules. Looking in the mirror I'd say I'm 20% obese, 80% overweight. Previous numbers are in day 1. I completed another Give Me 10 Days challenge. I've lost 9 rounds in a row. I've lost weight for 15 weeks in a row.

Day 58, Wed 84.6 kg, exercise is same as day 57. Food overspending is $383. Average food intake is 7399 kilojoules.

Day 57—04/01— 143.0. Long walk, no gym. Food was okay other than a little too much mindless snacking.

Day 58—04/02— 143.0. Walks, no gym. Food was okay, definitely could have been better. I seem to be settling right around the 143 mark. Gotta keep pushing.

Day 59—04/03— 143.6. Hmmm. Not happy with this, but it's just fluctuations so I'm not going to get too upset. Food was good yesterday, but minimal activity due to schedule and weather.

age_is_just_a_number · April 3

I'm starting to think my scale is broken. I had a three pound swing from yesterday. I know daily fluctuations are normal. But I don't think I've, personally, seen a three pound swing overnight before. I have a few years of daily tracking (believe it or not written in a binder), so I'll be looking through that later today. Overall, I feel really good. Need to keep consistent with fewer calories, higher protein, daily exercise and daily walk. I'm also currently experimenting with a collagen supplement (it just doesn't do anything when it doesn't come out of the fridge - lol).

I put an Excel template in my Google Drive. Anyone who is interested, you should be able to download it from there. Let me know if you'd like me to create something specifically for you. I absolutely love Excel and Google Sheets and retired last fall, so I'm hankering for an Excel project. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t8D4aTx0T1iHxmnhxZvqwhLWW7-V9Zg_/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=110433616137289481128&rtpof=true&sd=true
