Week 2 Actual Weight:
Well, it appears my weight is moving in the wrong direction. However, I have been tracking and staying within my calorie budget. I also have been getting out and exercising a lot. I am very sore which could be part of the weight gain. I am really going to watch my sodium intake the next couple days and see how it goes. I also find eating out a challenge sodium wise. I choose healthier options and really watch portions, but restaurants always use way more salt than I do and the scale always goes up the next day.
I hope you all had a great weekend. 😊

Yes, restaurant food is a killer of health, and a disaster if we are trying to lose weight.

@grandma16grandkids and shone
Welcome to our group : - )

Hi everyone.
I am Dawn. I live in SE British Columbia Canada. I am 5'2" (or 5'3"?) and 64 years of age. I have done a bunch of these 100s now, I have lost count lol. I was sitting at 130 for quite awhile, trying desperately to get into the 120s, but gained little by little over the last couple of years. My "ideal" weight should be between 110-118 for my height, BMI, and stuff. At this point I just really want to get back into the 130s.
Week 1 Start Weight: 144.4
Week 1 Goal: 142.4 (seems lofty, but I was at 143.0 for two days in a row at the end of the last 100)
Week 1 Actual Weight: 144.2- Hit 142.6 this week, the day before the end of our week, which was so close to my goal.
Day 08—05/22— 143.2 - Wednesdays and Thursdays see me running from one job to another. Just enough time to eat my 1/4 cup granola in 1/2 cup of probiotic plain yoghurt. I prepare it in the morning or the night before so that it is soft. Swipe of lipstick and off I run to the second job.
Day 09—05/23— 144.2 - Ouch! Just one job today, then my pedicure with a nurse who really gets in there to loosen up my feet. I will be home for the hockey game. Speaking of which, after the hockey game the other night a documentary came on CBC which I wasn't interested in watching so went to brush my teeth etc. There was a woman who had to give up a child in an unwed mother's home a long time ago about to finally reunite. She says: I am 70 years old, but very fit. Goals!!! I want to be that in 5 years, 70 and very fit and mobile. Weight needs to come off of course.
Day 10—05/24— 143.0 - Splits at my favourite job today and tomorrow, with a nice break in the afternoon to do some stuff in my yard/garden : - )
Day 11—05/25— 144.4 - Worked hard in the yard in the morning before work and during my 2 hour break from 3-5 - it was very hot at that time of day, 29c. Same activities will be for today, and then I booked an extra day off so I am off Monday and Tuesday and I will be out in the yard getting my tomatoes and pepper beds tilled and planted, and everything else. I am used to having a gain from this activity, hopefully it evens out by Wednesday or Thursday. Really wanting to get the back grass cut so that once my planting is started tomorrow I can hook up the sprinkler. I am on a ridiculous path of cutting each and every white dandelion head so that the seeds don't stick to the blades of my lawn mower and spread even more. There are 100s! I will overseed this year to hopefully crowd them out, but they are flying all over the neighbourhood so it feels like almost hopeless labour when I could be concentrating on many other things. All good though, fresh air and sunshine. 1pm NHL game today, and I will have it on at work : - )
Day 12—05/26— 142.2 - Nice to see!
Day 13—05/27— 143.8 - Well, I had a friend coming to help me with some stuff yesterday morning and he arrived before I even had a chance to have breakfast! I ate zero all day because I was going hard. I had decided early in the morning that I would take a pack of Ribs (precooked) out of the freezer, and not wait until nearly the end of the 100 to have them this time around. Burned a gazillion calories working in the yard all day. Quite enjoyed the ribs, totally worth the gain on the scale.
Day 14—05/28—
Week 2 Start Weight: 143.2
Week 2 Goal: 142.4 - Trying for the same goal as last week
Week 2 Actual Weight: Once in 100 days Ribs eaten

I have been stuck at the same weight all week, the body likes to hold on to water, more than I would like. You will get it off, it just releases it when it wants… We all think we are in control, I think we just observe sometimes lol Keep going you got this!

Good Afternoon! Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!
Sorry I have been AWOL the last couple days...but I am back! Gonna take me awhile to go back through everyone's posts, but I will.
@Jon4189 , ohhh...I can empathize. I have had 2....one passed on its own, painfully and the second needed surgery. I sure hope your suffering is over!
@GigiLoveandSunshine , WELCOME to the group and good luck with the challenge!
@Grandma16grandkids , hey! .…welcome and glad you joined!
@schaapmanjose , wow....another new member! Good luck on your journey!
Day 08—05/22— 170.6 - Hoping this is a good week for me....next Friday I have an Endocrinologist appointment and I want to show a good loss from my last appointment in January. I have been following the Dermatologists orders regarding my lesion, but it's looking uglier.....bleah.
Day 09—05/23— 170.2 - Slowly the weight is coming back down. Eggs for breakfast, turkey chili for lunch, not sure about dinner. Last night I made the chicken marsala from Wegman's for dinner. It was very good.
Day 10—05/24— 170.2 - Weight is steady…that often means a loss is imminent. Food will be typical today....soup, fish, veggies.
Day 11—05/25— Forgot to weigh....frustrating.
Day 12—05/26— 171.2 - I had the munchies....and it shows. Grrrrr....
Day 13—05/27— 171 - I am surprised at my weight. Yesterday, the plan was thrown to the wind. Had a cheeseburger, hot dog, potato salad, some potato chips (can't remember the last time I had potato chips!), and apple pie as well as a couple other things. But that was all the food I had for the day and I was a bit more active at the cookout. Guess it helped.

My Name is Donna, Age 65. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.2
Goal This Round: 184.2 (10 pounds)
Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx
🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there!)
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🎨--Thoughts at the start of this round:
My goal from the very beginning has been to lose one pound per week for a total of 12 pounds per challenge. I have never considered that to be too much and I never thought in a million years I would find it this difficult, even at my age and with my health problems. But it’s proved to be nothing but an uphill climb and in most cases, impossible. I am going to lower my goal to 10 pounds per challenge and see if that will feel more right, more do-able. I, again, thank you for sharing my journey with me and allowing me to travel with you on yours. It is reassuring, refreshing, enlightening and inspiring and I am forever grateful.

Day 12—05/26—193.8 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 194.5) I’m a little shocked by this gain because yesterday was a banner day in every way. I was pretty proud of keeping another Holiday Weekend day in great order. Only one day was out of whack (Saturday’s shopping excursion) out of 3 so far and I expect today’s to be good although we are just getting started. I know these unwarranted and unexpected weigh-ins and days happen so I’ll take it on the chin and soldier forward. God Bless America. May our fallen troops always be remembered!
🌺🌺🌺🌺 Day 13—05/27—193.2 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 194.4) Lots of movement yesterday on the holiday which I think really helped. My overall macros were “just okay” yet I have seen a drop today. And yesterday I was reporting a great day and saw an increase. It seems everything is running one day behind right now which is not always the case for me. I’ll keep that in mind so it helps with the emotions of it all.

Teri, 61 years old, 5’4”
Challenge Starting Weight: 144.9 lbs
Challenge Goal Weight: 140 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbsMore than ever, I need to focus on my health. I know what to do, I just need to work on consistency.
Week 2
Day 08—05/22—146.7Oops. Too high of a fluctuation. Today is the day I get back on the wagon. Feeling motivated!
Day 09—05/23—145.9
Day 10—05/24—145.0Did fairly well yesterday eating-wise with an emphasis on ‘fairly’. Also, hardly any sleep last night and my lower back is aching… all from this lingering, uncontrollable, dry cough. I hope to get lots done during the first half of the day so I can nap later. 😊
Day 11—05/25—144.8Coughed less overnight so I feel like I got a better night’s sleep. Lower back still aching though. It’s worse when I cough but I feel like it’s starting to get better. Need to clean the extra bedroom as we’re having overnight guests tomorrow. Hopefully, I’ll have the energy later today for a workout.
Day 12—05/26—144.9
Day 13—05/27—146.9What a fluctuation, and right before goal-day too. LOL For right now, I just want my lower back pain to go away.

Hi All, Week two results below.
Everthing seems to be trending in the right direction.
Todays bodyfat measurements were taken when bloated after a cheat meal, but averages are looking good. Was slack with the strength training this week, will need to improve next week. Have a couple of races coming up and have been more focused on running. Poor excuse as the strenth training will stop me getting injured. Calories were on target this week, no binging, still worked in a payday cheat meal.
I hope everyone is learning from their failures, pick yourself up and keep going, you will be stronger.
YOU CAN DO IT, I BELEIVE IN YOU!

Going out to eat!
I go to Jason's Deli with a scale, not a person scale but my food weight scale ;) , and I hit the salad bar! It is a really good way to get a salad that I don't have to prep everything, and I can eat healthy and log, I do get some funny looks, but that's on them not me!
You can go out to restaurants, you just have to log it honestly. I also do Qdoba and Taco Bell (black bean tacos!!!). I also go out for break fast, but a 3 egg omelet is never just 3 eggs, and yes I use my scale. Call me weird but I like to know what I am eating.
Moral of the story, don't worry about what others think, do it for yourself! Saying this in this message makes me feel better about taking my little scale with me.

Week 2 results are in: I use my week average for my start and end weights.
Start weight 149.7 —> Includes 5 days of 'on vacation' and 2 days of 'bloating coming down'
End weight 146.0 —> Includes at least two days of 'bloating coming down'.
Goal weight 147.0 —> beat my week goal by a pound. I have not done that before. But if I compare to my Challenge 22 Week 13 end weight, which was right before I went on vacation, it was 147.1. So, I feel like this Challenge 23 week 2 result is really a 1 pound loss from May 5th. Almost like erasing the two weeks of vacation 'gain' (which I believe was mostly 'food in transit'/bloating). As a look back over the past three months, I've had a fair amount of up and down. Today's scale was a new low for 2025. I feel more focused and determined to get more weight off, especially before our August trip and generally, just to feel better in my own skin.Week 3 Goal weight — 144.0 —> I know that looks like a 2 pound loss, but today I was at 144.6 (I checked three times because I couldn't believe it). So, I think 144 for the week average might be realistic. If not, it is motivation to stay on track. Like Frank's quotes … shoot for the moon, you'll at least be in the stars.
Yesterday was a strange day: While grooming the dog, I watched/listened to the pre-show related to the King in Ottawa, then I sat on the couch and watched the procession and the Throne Speech. We were just in Ottawa two weeks ago and saw the same places. Then, walked the dog, did a plant swap with a neighbour and exercised.
Notes regarding my chart are in the spoiler
calories IN are rounded up to the next 100
calories OUT are rounded down to the next 100
- Exercised before breakfast column means:
- - '25% before 75% after' means I ate 25% of my breakfast before exercising and 75% of my breakfast after exercising.
- - 'after' means I ate all my breakfast and exercised after; usually this means I exercised in the afternoon or late morning
- - 'before' (rarely seen these days after discovering from all this tracking that I do better when I exercise 'fed') means I exercised completely fasted
- I had set myself a target of 1600 calories IN as a target for completely sedentary days. I almost never meet this target because I'm pretty active. I'm keeping it in for now.

Round 21 Ending Weight: 147.3
Round 23 Ending Weight: 142.3Previous Weeks
Day 01—05/15— 141.4. Movement was minimal. Husband worked late last night so I wasn't able to get to the gym, and my sons had some appointments and stuff that kept us busy through the day. Food was great, though. It helped to be out of the house and away from food for most of the day. I'm hoping to get more activity AND do good with food today. It seems like it's been just one or the other a lot lately.
Day 02—05/16— 141.5. Finally got it all right. Food was good, went for a walk and went for a run (4 miles on treadmill). Another busy day today, not sure I'll be able to go for a walk, but I'll do what I can.
Day 03—05/17— 144.8. I knew I didn't make the best choices yesterday, but didn't think it was THIS bad. Higher carbs, more water, a bit too much food in general. And here we are. I did go for a walk, but no gym.
Day 04—05/18— 146.5. Well, I'm not doing good. Lunch out with MIL and then had ice cream at night because I already failed at my goals for the day. Not the best logic, I know. I need to start doing better.
Day 05—05/19—145.0. Yesterday was much better, but still room for improvement. It was a busy day, so I didn't eat much until the evening, and then I ate a bit too much.
Day 06—05/20— 144.2. Slowly getting back on track. Food was pretty good, until the beer. Exercise was good. 3 mile walk and a 4 mile treadmill run.
Day 07—05/21— 145.3. I don't know what happened. Had some more carbs than usual yesterday, so I guess I'm holding on to some extra water weight. I did not do well this week at all. I'm determined to make next week better
Day 08-05/22- 144.6. Food was pretty good. Exercise was minimal, just a couple of short walks, no gym.
Day 09—05/23—144.5. Food was good. Did a short walk and a 5k run on treadmill.
Day 10—05/24— 143.9. Food was pretty good, short walk but no treadmill. I dropped my sons off at my mom's for the weekend. I'm planning on a couple of long runs and some meal planning/prep. Trying to make next week a better week.
Day 11—05/25— DNW
Day 12—05/26— 144.2. I wasn't feeling good yesterday so a lot of being lazy. Food was okay, not great. Activity was pretty minimal. But I did make my healthy soup for a few meals this week.
Day 13—05/27— 144.5. Food was on track and as planned, exercise was a 4 mile treadmill run.
Day 14—05/28— 146.2. Going in the wrong direction.
Week 2 Goal: 143.0

To everyone: Congratulations on your Week 2 results. Even if you didn't get to your goal, you are logging and learning. Anyone looking for a little motivational article 'Stop wishing and Start doing'. Have a great day!
@Jon4189
Re "We all think we are in control, I think we just observe" —> You are so right. We do not control many aspects of our health and fitness journey's. But there are some things that we do control, like what we eat, how much we eat, how active we are, what we do with our time, how we track and observe.
Re Whirlpool Galaxy —> Thank you for posting. It is mesmerizing.
Re taking your scale with you —> I love that and am so proud of you for having the self confidence to do it! I'm not there. But I log everything. I have to admit, I weigh my breakfast and occasionally weigh other foods at home as a reminder/gauge. I do have MFP premium, which opens up the take a picture of your plate for logging. It is surprisingly accurate. When eating out, I use the restaurant nutritional information (which is mandated where I live for restaurants over a certain size) or 'hand portions'. I always try to log 'high'.@bteri107
Re "What a fluctuation, and right before goal-day too. LOL" —> That's why I use the 7 day average for my actuals. It smooths out those daily fluctuations.
Re " For right now, I just want my lower back pain to go away." —> I hope you are feeling better soon. Is the cough gone now?@Crochetluvr
Re weight fluctuations —> You know salt will aid in water retention and you had salty snacks. I'm sure it will be back to normal in a day or two.@GigiLoveandSunshine
Re mindset —> I just posted a video about mindset. It is so important. Think about your why and write it down. I find that helps me.@JimnKC You are torching your goal for this week!
@dawnbgethealthy Re not eating breakfast and then not eating all day —> I don't how you function without fuel. I can go until noon without eating, but discovered in challenge 22 from your posts that when I eat something before I exercise, I do better.
@hryan4666 Re "Well, it appears my weight is moving in the wrong direction. However, I have been tracking and staying within my calorie budget. I also have been getting out and exercising a lot. I am very sore which could be part of the weight gain. I am really going to watch my sodium intake the next couple days and see how it goes. I also find eating out a challenge sodium wise. I choose healthier options and really watch portions, but restaurants always use way more salt than I do and the scale always goes up the next day." —> This is what is so great about logging our food and checking in with ourselves and the data. The trends over time do not lie. Are you accurately logging?
@plantpowered Re "Tiny changes… Time will tell." —> tiny changes consistently made over a period of time will result in big results.
@Grandma16grandkids Re "I struggle to lose weight and need to focus on taking control of what I eat." —> The first step I recommend to everyone is log your food as accurately as possible. I even go as far as to say 'do not make any changes in your food for the first two weeks, just log it'. Then look back and see what you ate and determine what is one small sustainable change you can make that will not turn your life up side down. This a journey.
@Zaxa2021 Re " Turned down fast food when my husband ordered his lunch." —> Doesn't that feel so-o-o-o great!?! I get this internal 'high' when I just say 'no' to something that I know isn't going to serve me.

@age_is_just_a_number Thanks for the comments! I am focused on the weekly food intake which I measure as good as possible. I am also focused on improving my overall health, so I am also trying to ride 60+ miles a week and I am using a Garmin Watch to take my resting heart rate and my FTP, HRV. The week to week trend of weight is the most important, one weight doesn't tell a story, but 2 weeks of daily weight tells a story. By doing this challenge, it is helping me focus on the big picture, and keep the days where my weight doesn't drop or goes up in check. It is about getting to the end of the challenge by staying true to myself daily. I also have MFP Premium because of the bar scanning. I have done the meal picture and it helps find the items, but I don't see the weight very good.
A rule that I use is:
LOG IT before you Eat it. If you log it and you don't like how it makes your daily numbers look, you can delete it and eat something else. If you eat it and then log it, you can't change it. This keeps me honest, log it, then eat it.
Thanks for all the awesome comments to me and everyone else, keep being amazing!

@Jon4189 Thanks for the reply. re" LOG IT before you Eat it. If you log it and you don't like how it makes your daily numbers look, you can delete it and eat something else. … This keeps me honest, log it, then eat it." —> I love that. I do it sometimes, but it is not my normal routine. I do log it first when I have a craving or feel hungry and want to evaluate my choices.

I overslept a little and need to rush off to work, I'll have to catch up with everyone else's results tonight.
Week 1: This was the trial-and-error week where I examined my current habits and tracked it all.
Week 2: Now I have a system. Green means the food and exercise hit the goal. The yellow cells are what I'm keeping eye on. Gotta run. Have a great day all!
- My scale's results are in tenths of a pound, but because of rounding, I'll keep the hundredth decimal for the averages, or the rounding looks funky to me.

Good Hump Day!
@age_is_just_a_number , you are so right! Things are returning to normal. Thanks!
Day 08—05/22— 170.6 - Hoping this is a good week for me....next Friday I have an Endocrinologist appointment and I want to show a good loss from my last appointment in January. I have been following the Dermatologists orders regarding my lesion, but it's looking uglier.....bleah.
Day 09—05/23— 170.2 - Slowly the weight is coming back down. Eggs for breakfast, turkey chili for lunch, not sure about dinner. Last night I made the chicken marsala from Wegman's for dinner. It was very good.
Day 10—05/24— 170.2 - Weight is steady…that often means a loss is imminent. Food will be typical today....soup, fish, veggies.
Day 11—05/25— Forgot to weigh....frustrating.
Day 12—05/26— 171.2 - I had the munchies....and it shows. Grrrrr....
Day 13—05/27— 171 - I am surprised at my weight. Yesterday, the plan was thrown to the wind. Had a cheeseburger, hot dog, potato salad, some potato chips (can't remember the last time I had potato chips!), and apple pie as well as a couple other things. But that was all the food I had for the day and I was a bit more active at the cookout. Guess it helped.
Day 14—05/28— 170.6 - Ok....no loss for the week....but no gain either. That's a partial win for me. Gotta look on the bright side whenever possible. Gotta work harder, though...really want to be down 5 pounds by the end of summer. So onto next week!

Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.2

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🎨--Thoughts at the start of this round:
My goal from the very beginning has been to lose one pound per week for a total of 12 pounds per challenge. I have never considered that to be too much and I never thought in a million years I would find it this difficult, even at my age and with my health problems. But it’s proved to be nothing but an uphill climb and in most cases, impossible. I am going to lower my goal to 10 pounds per challenge and see if that will feel more right, more do-able. I, again, thank you for sharing my journey with me and allowing me to travel with you on yours. It is reassuring, refreshing, enlightening and inspiring and I am forever grateful.

Day 13—05/27—193.2 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 194.4) Lots of movement yesterday on the holiday which I think really helped. My overall macros were “just okay” yet I have seen a drop today. And yesterday I was reporting a great day and saw an increase. It seems everything is running one day behind right now which is not always the case for me. I’ll keep that in mind so it helps with the emotions of it all.
🌺🌺🌺🌺 Day 14—05/28—194.2 ❌ (Trend Weight)-194.3) Self-Sabotage 100%. Why, Donna, Why? This week I have lost what I gained over the 1st week but have not yet ever met my 0.7 goal. So going into week 3 I have 3 weeks of 0.7 to lose which is 2.1 lbs. I’ve got to make a big dent in that this week or the numbers will get too big and it will become impossible. So far, my plan is not working but I’m not giving up yet. I just need to do better. BE better. My trend weight is still going down showing the faith my body has in me. I’m not going to let it down. Bring on Week 3!

Hi everyone.
I am Dawn. I live in SE British Columbia Canada. I am 5'2" (or 5'3"?) and 64 years of age. I have done a bunch of these 100s now, I have lost count lol. I was sitting at 130 for quite awhile, trying desperately to get into the 120s, but gained little by little over the last couple of years. My "ideal" weight should be between 110-118 for my height, BMI, and stuff. At this point I just really want to get back into the 130s.
Week 1 Start Weight: 144.4
Week 1 Goal: 142.4 (seems lofty, but I was at 143.0 for two days in a row at the end of the last 100)
Week 1 Actual Weight: 144.2- Hit 142.6 this week, the day before the end of our week, which was so close to my goal.
Day 08—05/22— 143.2 - Wednesdays and Thursdays see me running from one job to another. Just enough time to eat my 1/4 cup granola in 1/2 cup of probiotic plain yoghurt. I prepare it in the morning or the night before so that it is soft. Swipe of lipstick and off I run to the second job.
Day 09—05/23— 144.2 - Ouch! Just one job today, then my pedicure with a nurse who really gets in there to loosen up my feet. I will be home for the hockey game. Speaking of which, after the hockey game the other night a documentary came on CBC which I wasn't interested in watching so went to brush my teeth etc. There was a woman who had to give up a child in an unwed mother's home a long time ago about to finally reunite. She says: I am 70 years old, but very fit. Goals!!! I want to be that in 5 years, 70 and very fit and mobile. Weight needs to come off of course.
Day 10—05/24— 143.0 - Splits at my favourite job today and tomorrow, with a nice break in the afternoon to do some stuff in my yard/garden : - )
Day 11—05/25— 144.4 - Worked hard in the yard in the morning before work and during my 2 hour break from 3-5 - it was very hot at that time of day, 29c. Same activities will be for today, and then I booked an extra day off so I am off Monday and Tuesday and I will be out in the yard getting my tomatoes and pepper beds tilled and planted, and everything else. I am used to having a gain from this activity, hopefully it evens out by Wednesday or Thursday. Really wanting to get the back grass cut so that once my planting is started tomorrow I can hook up the sprinkler. I am on a ridiculous (futile?)path of cutting each and every white dandelion head so that the seeds don't stick to the blades of my lawn mower and spread even more. There are 100s! I will overseed this year to hopefully crowd them out, but they are flying all over the neighbourhood so it feels like almost hopeless labour when I could be concentrating on many other things. All good though, fresh air and sunshine. 1pm NHL game today, and I will have it on at work : - )
Day 12—05/26— 142.2 - Nice to see!
Day 13—05/27— 143.8 - Well, I had a friend coming to help me with some stuff yesterday morning and he arrived before I even had a chance to have breakfast! I ate zero all day because I was going hard and just did not have time. I had decided early in the morning that I would take a pack of Ribs (precooked) out of the freezer, and not wait until nearly the end of the 100 to have them this time around. Burned a gazillion calories working in the yard all day. Quite enjoyed the ribs, totally worth the gain on the scale.
Day 14—05/28— 143.0 - Another long day in the yard, it was very hot. Peppers are in (except for 6), tomatoes are in, onions are in, one section of grass is cut. It was glorious having 2 days off this week! I eat from my garden year round (freezer etc.) so it was important for me.
Week 2 Start Weight: 143.2
Week 2 Goal: 142.4 - Trying for the same goal as last week
Week 2 Actual Weight: 143.0 (Once in 100 days Ribs eaten, hit 122.2 this week)

Week 2 didn't go quite as well as hoped. My goal was to be at 181. Im just going to be confident I'll reach week 3 goal! God bless my friends in their journey!
