    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: 194.2

    Goal This Round: 182.2 (12 pounds)

    Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx

    🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate goal: 145-155. I’ll know when I get there.

    Thoughts at the start of this round:

    Approximately this time last year (Challenge #15) I began to slowly gain weight throughout the rest of my winter and well into my Spring. I am still battling some of those pounds as we start this new challenge. This is a new opportunity to prove to myself and my family that I AM serious about getting healthier. I know I have bad eating disorders that bring about horrible eating habits. I also battle cravings because I haven’t gotten away from sugar or chocolate long enough to stop the cravings. I have such a long way to go and only a sketchy road to get there but I’ll never give up on myself or lose faith in my strength or my resolve. I’ll admit that I’m not super confident that I will ever be in the 140’s again (my ultimate goal), but I AM 100% confident that I will shed these 190’s like a bad dream and NEVER weigh this much again. I don’t know when this will happen exactly. But I do know that it will. Thanks for sharing my journey and letting me travel with you on yours.

    CURRENT WEEK:

    Day 64—04/08—194.4 (Trend weight: 194.9) Same song, different day. Good meals, bad snack control, not enough exercise or water. Down 1 lb today probably due to the Lasix. Time for ME to make the hard choices.

    🐰🐰 🐰 🐰 🐰 Day 65—04/09—195.4 (Trend weight: 194.9) What the heck? Okay, I did go out for lunch yesterday which put me over for the day by 100 calories and about 25% more carbs too. However, it was a light lunch and I didn’t even finish it or box it up to take leftovers home. I did very well later having a light dinner and my snacks were finally on target. Is this leftover from earlier in the week? Humph…. I had a drop of weight in-between. I admit it, I don’t get it. Especially with the drop yesterday unless that was solely related to the prescribed water pill. Clueless here but I’ll just lump it and keep going. I woke up to no heat kicking on today and cold house. New furnace here and new thermostat. Now what??? Calling the HVAC and hopefully they will come today and figure it out. Please God…..I’ve been a good girl my whole life……

    @deepwoodslady

    OMG about the HVAC again!!

    As for the weight gain, you did eat "out" every day while in a hotel. It might just be catching up with you. We know that it can take several days to show up on the scale good or bad. String a couple of "good" eating days together and it will pay off. Time for you to get back to 183 and for me to get back to 130. Our bodily functions and mobility will thank us.

    I always look forward to seeing the cheery flowers on the top of your posts.

    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 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— 149.4 - Late dinner last night, huge salad. I will be running from one job to the next today. I should try to eat some breakfast first.

    Day 60—04/04— 148.6 - Pretty happy to see that number this morning. Sometimes it is hard to tell what is working, since things (good or bad) often don't show up on the scale for 3 days. Yesterday I had 2/3 cup of egg whites with a slice of smoked provolone vegan cheese. No, I am not vegan, but it is delicious "cheese" and melts really well in eggs. I wonder if that helped me lose a few ounces? Completely un-interested in breakfast this morning, but I will try to fit something in.

    Day 61—04/05— 148.8 - Split shifts today and tomorrow, which I like because they are at the Indian restaurant and I enjoy the big chunk of break in the afternoon so that I can get to a trail.

    Day 62—04/06— 148.4 - I met an interesting man when I got to the park/lake during my break yesterday. A blacksmith who travels around teaching classes. We had such a great conversation. I had a beautiful walk and then time when I got home to tour through my yard/garden, and things are popping up!!! Oh happy day.

    Day 63—04/07— 148.2 - My MFP tracker has been saying 129.9 for the past week (if every day was like today). Nice little walk around Idlewild (the only paved trail, so not muddy in the spring).

    Week 9 Start Weight: 149.6 (same as the beginning of this 100)
    Week 9 Goal: 148.6
    Week 9 Actual Weight: 148.2

    Day 64—04/08— 148.0 - I thought that I might have had a gain because I had nachos and 2 black russians last night. I ended up with another split shift yesterday which I was happy for (extra hours etc.) I do make my nachos using corn tortillas instead of the actual chips, which saves me probably 200-300 calories right there with that swap. Maybe because the chips are deep fried and the tortillas are not? I measure the cheese, use chicken instead of beef. They were delicious!! Very very happy to be starting to see losses on this challenge. Nothing much has changed except that I have been adding 1/4c of granola and 1/2c of yoghurt to my daily consumption for a few weeks. Healthier gut making a more efficient engine??

    Day 65—04/09— 148.2 - Quite low in calories in yesterday, lots of Fitness Marshall (in orthotic slippers that don't press on my sore parts) but hardly any walking since I was babying my ankle and feet by not putting on shoes on my day off. The gain might be from the nachos the other day. Stuffed pepper out of the freezer for me when I finish my second job tonight. It will be a long time until this year's peppers are ready in the garden, especially since I am not due to plant them until May 24th lol.

    Teri, 61 years old

    Challenge Starting Weight: 146 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 140 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbs

    Total Challenge gain/loss to date (week 9): - .6

    Week 10

    Day 64—04/08—144.4 (- 1.0) Eating was on point yesterday and I got a 60-min workout in: 50-min cardio + toning.

    Day 65—04/09—145.0 (+ .6) Could this increase be from ½ a donut I ate last night? Everything else was on point. My goal this week is to workout at least 4 times to counter this past weekend’s poor eating choices. Yesterday's workout: 30 min upper body strength, 10 min core and 15 min cardio.

    This is my second 100 day challenge. I lost 8 lbs last round, and I'm hoping to lose at least 10 lbs this round.

    Round 21 Ending Weight: 147.3

    Round 22 Starting Weight: 148.3

    Week 1 Ending Weight: 148.9
    Week 2 Ending Weight: 150.0
    Week 3 Ending Weight: 145.0
    Week 4 Ending Weight: 146.8
    Week 5 Ending Weight: 144.8
    Week 6 Ending Weight: 143.7
    Week 7 Ending Weight: 144.6
    Week 8 Ending Weight: 142.9
    Week 9 Ending Weight: 143.6

    Day 64—04/08— 142.7. Outdoor walk, no gym. Food was a bit low. High anxiety/stress day yesterday. I just didn't feel like eating. And didn't have it in me to go to the gym at the end of the day. Today will be better

    Day 65—04/09— 144.4. Yesterday was a bad day for me mentally again. I'm still working past some of the emotions from Monday. And I ate too much. And a bit higher on sodium and carbs than usual, so I have some extra water weight. Today is a new day to make better choices.

    Day 66—04/10— 143.2. Just a short outdoor walk. No gym. Food was okay, but could have been better. Weather is heating up, we're expecting our first triple digit day today. Which means I can't do as much walking with my little guys. My boys have physical and speech therapy in the mornings twice a week, so I don't think I'll be able to do any walks on those days. I need to start being more consistent with the gym again.

    Took an exercise rest day yesterday and had a food splurge. Weight up this morning. I'm not worried about it.

    @bteri107 Re "My goal this week is to workout at least 4 times to counter this past weekend’s poor eating choices." —> You can't out exercise your diet. I've been watching some YouTube videos lately. Many have the same messages, some have interesting suggestions/sayings. Some motivational items I've come across include:

    • Weight loss is 15% exercise, 35% food and 50% sleep. —> Why? because it is during sleep that our bodies build and repair tissues and fat is a tissue that gets used in these processes. Also, how well we sleep determines the amount of cortisol in our bodies in the morning. Cortisol has long been associated with fat production and especially belly fat. The higher the cortisol the higher chance we store extra belly fat. Better sleep results in less cortisol production.
    • Why did the tortoise win the race against the hare? Because the tortoise didn't stop.
    • Changing our diet every few weeks when we don't see instant results is like planting a seed and then every few weeks digging it up and planting a new seed and then expecting to see flowers.

    My conclusion: Make a plan, stick to it (most of the time) and then keep going. Results will happen when we are consistent over a long period of time. We do not need perfection to be consistent.

    Good Morning!

    @deepwoodslady , geez! I would be ready to read the riot act to those HVAC people.

    Day 64—04/08— 171.6 - This weather is eating into my walking efforts. Probably be another week before the temps finally go back up and the rain goes with it. I know we need the rain, though.

    Day 65—04/09— 170.8 - A good food day, even with a bit over on carbs.

    Day 66—04/10— 171 - I had the snackies last night, but not too bad. I got my new CGM'S yesterday, which I was missing so now I don't have to guess about my sugar numbers.

    Yes, sleep is important to weight loss.

    However, we tweak and tweak until we find what works best for our health and our weight loss with different forms of eating and exercise. No one thing works the same for everyone and our individual bodies. Definitely we can't eat the same foods/amounts/frequencies that we did at 200 pounds when we are trying to be 150 pounds. What foods make us feel better? Which foods do we need to have only once per week instead of daily?

    When we build muscle do our bodies burn more fat? Burning calories is burning calories. Calories in/Calories out, CICO = deficit or surplus. Using a baseline of breathing, organs working, cell regeneration etc.…surely this changes as our weight and lifestyle change. MFP calculates this for us based on our stats, so "in the green" (or red) has already taken that into account. Average BMR for women is 1400-1500 calories, but of course this number is fluid as our bodies height, age, weight and metabolism change due to natural processes, lifestyle, exercise/activity, and food choices. 1 pound =3500 calories. According to the 80/20 rule, 20% of losing weight is due to exercise/activity. So can we lose 20% of our body weight by exercise? Maybe, but most important is our consumption. Exercise definitely changes our body composition though, which will make it easier to keep weight off because of added muscle mass. Most importantly exercise can reduce your risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis etc.

    I totally love these discussions, we are all on this thread trying to figure out how to lose weight for our own particular bodies and circumstances. My own doctor said (when I was 200 pounds) eat less, exercise more. We need to eat nutrient dense foods though, for sure.

    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 Start Weight: 149.6

    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— 149.4 - Late dinner last night, huge salad. I will be running from one job to the next today. I should try to eat some breakfast first.

    Day 60—04/04— 148.6 - Pretty happy to see that number this morning. Sometimes it is hard to tell what is working, since things (good or bad) often don't show up on the scale for 3 days. Yesterday I had 2/3 cup of egg whites with a slice of smoked provolone vegan cheese. No, I am not vegan, but it is delicious "cheese" and melts really well in eggs. I wonder if that helped me lose a few ounces? Completely un-interested in breakfast this morning, but I will try to fit something in.

    Day 61—04/05— 148.8 - Split shifts today and tomorrow, which I like because they are at the Indian restaurant and I enjoy the big chunk of break in the afternoon so that I can get to a trail.

    Day 62—04/06— 148.4 - I met an interesting man when I got to the park/lake during my break yesterday. A blacksmith who travels around teaching classes. We had such a great conversation. I had a beautiful walk and then time when I got home to tour through my yard/garden, and things are popping up!!! Oh happy day.

    Day 63—04/07— 148.2 - My MFP tracker has been saying 129.9 for the past week (if every day was like today). Nice little walk around Idlewild (the only paved trail, so not muddy in the spring).

    Week 9 Start Weight: 149.6 (same as the beginning of this 100)
    Week 9 Goal: 148.6
    Week 9 Actual Weight: 148.2

    Day 64—04/08— 148.0 - I thought that I might have had a gain because I had nachos and 2 black russians last night. I ended up with another split shift yesterday which I was happy for (extra hours etc.) I do make my nachos using corn tortillas instead of the actual chips, which saves me probably 200-300 calories right there with that swap. Maybe because the chips are deep fried and the tortillas are not? I measure the cheese, use chicken instead of beef. They were delicious!! Very very happy to be starting to see losses on this challenge. Nothing much has changed except that I have been adding 1/4c of granola and 1/2c of yoghurt to my daily consumption for a few weeks. Healthier gut making a more efficient engine??

    Day 65—04/09— 148.2 - Quite low in calories in yesterday, lots of Fitness Marshall (in orthotic slippers that don't press on my sore parts) but hardly any walking since I was babying my ankle and feet by not putting on shoes on my day off. The gain might be from the nachos the other day. Stuffed pepper out of the freezer for me when I finish my second job tonight. It will be a long time until this year's peppers are ready in the garden, especially since I am not due to plant them until May 24th lol.

    Day 66—04/10— 148.0 - Lots of calories out yesterday, not too many calories in. Seeing what MFP says I would weigh if I kept this up for 5 weeks is crazy, but motivating! To get more fibre and protein I always end up with more fat. Carbs always look high because I eat my 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily - fruits and vegetables are carbs. And yes, I am continuing with my 1/4 cup of granola in 1/2 cup of probiotic plain yoghurt and it makes my guts feel lovely. I think that I hit on something sustainable and easy to add to my daily consumption.

    Apr 8th: 178 Just noticed I spend all last week ‘in the 179’s’; Focus for this week is to get into the 176’s. And then to keep going down, not pause, stall, then regain, as has been my pattern all year.

    Apr 9th: 179.8 Well flip!! Wrong way!

    Apr 10th: 180.2 eeeeek!

    🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate goal: 145-155. I’ll know when I get there.

    Thoughts at the start of this round:

    Approximately this time last year (Challenge #15) I began to slowly gain weight throughout the rest of my winter and well into my Spring. I am still battling some of those pounds as we start this new challenge. This is a new opportunity to prove to myself and my family that I AM serious about getting healthier. I know I have bad eating disorders that bring about horrible eating habits. I also battle cravings because I haven’t gotten away from sugar or chocolate long enough to stop the cravings. I have such a long way to go and only a sketchy road to get there but I’ll never give up on myself or lose faith in my strength or my resolve. I’ll admit that I’m not super confident that I will ever be in the 140’s again (my ultimate goal), but I AM 100% confident that I will shed these 190’s like a bad dream and NEVER weigh this much again. I don’t know when this will happen exactly. But I do know that it will. Thanks for sharing my journey and letting me travel with you on yours.

    Day 64—04/08—194.4 (Trend weight: 194.9)

    Day 65—04/09—195.4 (Trend weight: 194.9) What the heck? Okay, I did go out for lunch yesterday which put me over for the day by 100 calories and about 25% more carbs too. However, it was a light lunch and I didn’t even finish it or box it up to take leftovers home. I did very well later having a light dinner and my snacks were finally on target. Is this leftover from earlier in the week? Humph…. I had a drop of weight in-between. I admit it, I don’t get it. Especially with the drop yesterday unless that was solely related to the prescribed water pill. Clueless here but I’ll just lump it and keep going. I woke up to no heat kicking on today and cold house. New furnace here and new thermostat. Now what??? Calling the HVAC and hopefully they will come today and figure it out. Please God…..I’ve been a good girl my whole life……

    🐰 🐰🐰 🐰🐰 Day 66—04/10—DNW (Trend weight: DNW) I was not THE LEAST bit interested in getting on the scale this morning after eating pizza yesterday. It always makes me gain and I always feel so bloated. Probably the sodium even more than the carbs. That scale offers no more information than that which I already know. I will hop back on when the time is right. I’ve had too much negative going on lately and just need to steer clear of anything pulling me further down. On a good note: My furnace is fixed (again) and I have heat. Also, my HVAC guy checked out my double oven and found a lose wire in a junction box in the basement and recapped and taped it and, Lo & Behold, it fixed my double ovens! Yay! I’m finally getting some positive things happening! Thank you Jesus!

    @age_is_just_a_number Yes, I completely understand that what we put into our bodies plays a bigger role than exercise, though exercise absolutely has its own benefits. That said, I had no idea about cortisol or how closely it's tied to sleep—interesting and insightful.

    Personally, while I’m not perfect, I’ve managed to build some good habits around food. What trips me up is staying consistent with exercise. I’ve noticed that when I have a solid week of workouts—paired with cutting back on bad carbs and added sugar—I start to see results much faster. That’s why I mentioned working out 4 times this week; for me, that feels like I’m finally hitting some consistency.

    I loved this: Why did the tortoise win the race against the hare? Because the tortoise didn't stop.

    Thanks for the inspiration and the great reminder: “We do not need perfection to be consistent.”

    Challenge Starting Weight: 146 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 140 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbs

    Total Challenge gain/loss to date (week 9): - .6

    Week 10

    Day 64—04/08—144.4 (- 1.0) Eating was on point yesterday and I got a 60-min workout in: 50-min cardio + toning.

    Day 65—04/09—145.0 (+ .6) Could this increase be from ½ a donut I ate last night? Everything else was on point. My goal this week is to workout at least 4 times to counter this past weekend’s poor eating choices. Yesterday's workout: 30 min upper body strength, 10 min core and 15 min cardio.

    🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate goal: 145-155. I’ll know when I get there.

    Thoughts at the start of this round:

    Approximately this time last year (Challenge #15) I began to slowly gain weight throughout the rest of my winter and well into my Spring. I am still battling some of those pounds as we start this new challenge. This is a new opportunity to prove to myself and my family that I AM serious about getting healthier. I know I have bad eating disorders that bring about horrible eating habits. I also battle cravings because I haven’t gotten away from sugar or chocolate long enough to stop the cravings. I have such a long way to go and only a sketchy road to get there but I’ll never give up on myself or lose faith in my strength or my resolve. I’ll admit that I’m not super confident that I will ever be in the 140’s again (my ultimate goal), but I AM 100% confident that I will shed these 190’s like a bad dream and NEVER weigh this much again. I don’t know when this will happen exactly. But I do know that it will. Thanks for sharing my journey and letting me travel with you on yours.

    Day 65—04/09—195.4 (Trend weight: 194.9)

    Day 66—04/10—DNW (Trend weight: DNW) I was not THE LEAST bit interested in getting on the scale this morning after eating pizza yesterday. It always makes me gain and I always feel so bloated. Probably the sodium even more than the carbs. That scale offers no more information than that which I already know. I will hop back on when the time is right. I’ve had too much negative going on lately and just need to steer clear of anything pulling me further down. On a good note: My furnace is fixed (again) and I have heat. Also, my HVAC guy checked out my double oven and found a lose wire in a junction box in the basement and recapped and taped it and, Lo & Behold, it fixed my double ovens! Yay! I’m finally getting some positive things happening! Thank you Jesus!

    🐰 🐰🐰 🐰🐰 Day 67—04/11—DNW (Trend weight: DNW) No Weigh Friday. Kids are back in school as most roads have been made passable after the ice storm of the century. Today will be lots more of the yard clean up. A widow maker (large part of a tree top hanging by a thread) will be looked at hopefully today by a tree service. It is dangling dangerously near my main power lines coming in to the house and needs to be removed. It will be another long hard day. I must plan my meals and stick to the plan. It’s just too easy at this time to grab & go in the chaos. Better planning equals better results!

    This is my second 100 day challenge. I lost 8 lbs last round, and I'm hoping to lose at least 10 lbs this round.

    Round 21 Ending Weight: 147.3

    Round 22 Starting Weight: 148.3

    Week 1 Ending Weight: 148.9
    Week 2 Ending Weight: 150.0

    Week 7 Ending Weight: 144.6
    Week 8 Ending Weight: 142.9
    Week 9 Ending Weight: 143.6

    Day 64—04/08— 142.7. Outdoor walk, no gym. Food was a bit low. High anxiety/stress day yesterday. I just didn't feel like eating. And didn't have it in me to go to the gym at the end of the day. Today will be better

    Day 65—04/09— 144.4. Yesterday was a bad day for me mentally again. I'm still working past some of the emotions from Monday. And I ate too much. And a bit higher on sodium and carbs than usual, so I have some extra water weight. Today is a new day to make better choices.

    Day 66—04/10— 143.2. Just a short outdoor walk. No gym. Food was okay, but could have been better. Weather is heating up, we're expecting our first triple digit day today. Which means I can't do as much walking with my little guys. My boys have physical and speech therapy in the mornings twice a week, so I don't think I'll be able to do any walks on those days. I need to start being more consistent with the gym again.

    Day 67—04/11— 142.5. Long walk at a park, stair climber at the gym. Food was good. Husband has been sick with a head cold the last few days, so I'm waiting for the rest of us to get it. So far we don't have any signs of his sickness but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

    Good Morning, Everybody!

    @Lynn__W , hang in there....it happens. I was nearly 170 a couple days ago....now 172. We'll get there!

    @Zaxa2021 , here's hoping the family stays healthy!

    @deepwoodslady , happy to hear your heating AND oven are working again! Hope your tree situation is resolved quickly.

    Day 64—04/08— 171.6 - This weather is eating into my walking efforts. Probably be another week before the temps finally go back up and the rain goes with it. I know we need the rain, though.

    Day 65—04/09— 170.8 - A good food day, even with a bit over on carbs.

    Day 66—04/10— 171 - I had the snackies last night, but not too bad. I got my new CGM'S yesterday, which I was missing so now I don't have to guess about my sugar numbers.

    Day 67—04/11— 172 - I think the taco bowl I had pushed me up with higher sodium. Back to normal today. But this RAIN....BLEAH!

    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 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— 149.4 - Late dinner last night, huge salad. I will be running from one job to the next today. I should try to eat some breakfast first.

    Day 60—04/04— 148.6 - Pretty happy to see that number this morning. Sometimes it is hard to tell what is working, since things (good or bad) often don't show up on the scale for 3 days. Yesterday I had 2/3 cup of egg whites with a slice of smoked provolone vegan cheese. No, I am not vegan, but it is delicious "cheese" and melts really well in eggs. I wonder if that helped me lose a few ounces? Completely un-interested in breakfast this morning, but I will try to fit something in.

    Day 61—04/05— 148.8 - Split shifts today and tomorrow, which I like because they are at the Indian restaurant and I enjoy the big chunk of break in the afternoon so that I can get to a trail.

    Day 62—04/06— 148.4 - I met an interesting man when I got to the park/lake during my break yesterday. A blacksmith who travels around teaching classes. We had such a great conversation. I had a beautiful walk and then time when I got home to tour through my yard/garden, and things are popping up!!! Oh happy day.

    Day 63—04/07— 148.2 - My MFP tracker has been saying 129.9 for the past week (if every day was like today). Nice little walk around Idlewild (the only paved trail, so not muddy in the spring).

    Week 9 Start Weight: 149.6 (same as the beginning of this 100)
    Week 9 Goal: 148.6
    Week 9 Actual Weight: 148.2

    Day 64—04/08— 148.0 - I thought that I might have had a gain because I had nachos and 2 black russians last night. I ended up with another split shift yesterday which I was happy for (extra hours etc.) I do make my nachos using corn tortillas instead of the actual chips, which saves me probably 200-300 calories right there with that swap. Maybe because the chips are deep fried and the tortillas are not? I measure the cheese, use chicken instead of beef. They were delicious!! Very very happy to be starting to see losses on this challenge. Nothing much has changed except that I have been adding 1/4c of granola and 1/2c of yoghurt to my daily consumption for a few weeks. Healthier gut making a more efficient engine??

    Day 65—04/09— 148.2 - Quite low in calories in yesterday, lots of Fitness Marshall (in orthotic slippers that don't press on my sore parts) but hardly any walking since I was babying my ankle and feet by not putting on shoes on my day off. The gain might be from the nachos the other day. Stuffed pepper out of the freezer for me when I finish my second job tonight. It will be a long time until this year's peppers are ready in the garden, especially since I am not due to plant them until May 24th lol.

    Day 66—04/10— 148.0 - Lots of calories out yesterday, not too many calories in. Seeing what MFP says I would weigh if I kept this up for 5 weeks is crazy, but motivating! To get more fibre and protein I always end up with more fat. Carbs always look high because I eat my 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables daily - fruits and vegetables are carbs. And yes, I am continuing with my 1/4 cup of granola in 1/2 cup of probiotic plain yoghurt and it makes my guts feel lovely. I think that I hit on something sustainable and easy to add to my daily consumption.

    Day 67—04/11— 147.0 - Well that is very exciting!! However, going out for drinks after work with some friends tonight.

    Challenge Starting Weight: 146 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 140 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbs

    Total Challenge gain/loss to date (week 9): - .6

    Week 10

    Day 64—04/08—144.4 (- 1.0) Eating was on point yesterday and I got a 60-min workout in: 50-min cardio + toning.

    Day 65—04/09—145.0 (+ .6) Could this increase be from ½ a donut I ate last night? Everything else was on point. My goal this week is to workout at least 4 times to counter this past weekend’s poor eating choices. Yesterday's workout: 30 min upper body strength, 10 min core and 15 min cardio.

    Day 66—04/10—145.3 (+ .3)

    Day 67—04/11—145.5 (+ .2) Can't explain this bump.

    sigh…

    I posted this discussion in the Debate Category: YouTube video review - 7 Habits to lose 25 lbs — MyFitnessPal.com

    I really like AnnPT77's comments regarding process goals rather than output goals. The YouTuber calls them input goals. I think this is what is keeping me motivated right now, even though my outputs are not what I'm hopeful for or expecting. My inputs are pretty consistent, so I know that I will see results, I just don't know when I'll see them.

    @dawnbgethealthy Take the overnight win!

    @Zaxa2021 Good luck with the cold. I know when my kids were small, once one of got something, it just went through the whole house.

    @deepwoodslady Glad you are back home and things are starting to look up. We have many people still without power. It was quite the spring storm!

    @bteri107 No it was not because of the ½ a donut I ate last night! you have to live.

    This is my second 100 day challenge. I lost 8 lbs last round, and I'm hoping to lose at least 10 lbs this round.

    Round 21 Ending Weight: 147.3

    Round 22 Starting Weight: 148.3

    Week 1 Ending Weight: 148.9
    Week 2 Ending Weight: 150.0
    Week 3 Ending Weight: 145.0
    Week 4 Ending Weight: 146.8
    Week 5 Ending Weight: 144.8
    Week 6 Ending Weight: 143.7
    Week 7 Ending Weight: 144.6
    Week 8 Ending Weight: 142.9
    Week 9 Ending Weight: 143.6

    Day 64—04/08— 142.7. Outdoor walk, no gym. Food was a bit low. High anxiety/stress day yesterday. I just didn't feel like eating. And didn't have it in me to go to the gym at the end of the day. Today will be better

    Day 65—04/09— 144.4. Yesterday was a bad day for me mentally again. I'm still working past some of the emotions from Monday. And I ate too much. And a bit higher on sodium and carbs than usual, so I have some extra water weight. Today is a new day to make better choices.

    Day 66—04/10— 143.2. Just a short outdoor walk. No gym. Food was okay, but could have been better. Weather is heating up, we're expecting our first triple digit day today. Which means I can't do as much walking with my little guys. My boys have physical and speech therapy in the mornings twice a week, so I don't think I'll be able to do any walks on those days. I need to start being more consistent with the gym again.

    Day 67—04/11— 142.5. Long walk at a park, stair climber at the gym. Food was good. Husband has been sick with a head cold the last few days, so I'm waiting for the rest of us to get it. So far we don't have any signs of his sickness but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

    Day 68—04/12— 142.0. Short walk, 6 mile treadmill run at gym. Food was good. Still no signs of sickness from anyone other than my husband.
