@dawnbgethealthy "Cheetah Sophisticated" Should be the title of your next design book. I love it and enjoy in good health!

I'm 5'3, in my mid 30s, and a SAHM to my three year old twins.
Round 21 Ending Weight: 147.3
Round 23 Ending Weight: 142.3Week 1 Ending Weight: 145.3
Week 2 Ending Weight: 146.2
Week 3 Ending Weight: 144.3Day 15—05/29— 144.3. A nice and welcome surprise. Husband had an out patient minor surgery yesterday, so didn't have much of an opportunity to workout or walk. We also ordered dinner, which I tried to be careful about. So I'm not sure where this loss came from, other than spending a lot of time in the restroom, releasing some water weight.
Day 16—05/30— 145.2. Despite the increase, I had a pretty good day yesterday. Food was on track and I went for a walk. Wasn't able to get to the gym.
Day 17—05/31— 143.0. A nice little drop, I'm hoping it will stick around. Food was good, a short walk and a 4 mile treadmill run.
Day 18—06/01— 143.9. A long run in the morning left me really hungry the rest of the day, so I ended up eating too much. Other than that and some light cleaning, it was a lazy day.
Day 19—06/02— 144.2. I did another long run, but was able to keep my eating the rest of the day somewhat under control. Overall, another pretty lazy day.
Day 20—06/03— 145.1. Not sure why the jump. Food was good, lots of walking.
Day 21—06/04— 144.3. Food was okay, and I got in a decent walk. I should be able to get back to the gym soon.
Week 3 Goal: 143.0 (Until I reach it)
Week 3 Actual Weight: 144.38 -
Week 3
Start 146.0 (week 2 average)
Goal 144.0 —> was lofty, but my May 28 scale was 144.6
End 146.9 (week 3 average) I knew I was going to be up. The good news is my scale this morning was 146.1. The changes are barely a blip on my graph. I also slept really well last night. I need many more nights of sleep like last night to improve my overall health, fitness and mood. My daughter & her girlfriend are arriving today. Yesterday, I only got half of the housecleaning done, so I need to get cleaning! Have a good day everyone.
Week 4 Goals keep my average calories IN to 1770. That is higher than my previous goal of 1600, but looking back at my data, 1600 is just too big a leap for me. 1770 is what MFP calculates for me and I think is more realistic. Goal to keep an average caloric deficit of 500. The weight will be what it will be, I'm hoping less than 146.9 and closer to 145.

I adjusted my MFP diary so that it stops adjusting for exercise calories. I also adjusted the food calorie goal slightly lower. We will see how that goes next week.
The good news is that I'm feeling better now that I've gotten back to a consistent exercise routine. Have a great day, everyone.

I am so happy to see your pics!!! Such a long slog with several contractors, but you kept you vision of what you wanted and it came together.
Such a cozy space. I love it! Really just the 2 decks to do now right? I love that you have one right outside of your bedroom!
Your patience with all of the workers and delays has really paid off. You have created such a lovely space for yourself.

This is Donna's reno (@deepwoodslady). I would have an Aneurysm if I ever attempted something like that lol. She has way more patience and vision than I do!
She put my name in there because I am the one that is always begging her to post photos of the progress which has been going on for quite some time.

I hit a milestone today!
Today is my 150th consecutive day of MFP food tracking. In the past, I’d track for a few weeks, maybe two months, then believe I’m able to eat intuitively and lose weight. This time, I’ve committed to myself to continue to log at least until I’ve met my weight goal. I’m loving the data and these challenges and sharing ideas, ups, downs, mini-challenges, etc with all of you. Logging is easy and I see no reason to ever stop logging. It definitely makes me more aware and accountable.

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.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)
Day 15—05/29— 143.6 - A jump up in weight when I thought that I would see a loss. Unavoidably late dinner due to work is what I attribute it to. Turns out that I am not getting another day off until
June 24thJuly 1st due to one of my co-workers going off to the Philippines for some family stuff. I will have to make sure that I am getting good nutrition. The extra hours will be good to have before the property taxes are due at the beginning of July. I expect that I will get some bonus days off during the hot summer : - )Day 16—05/30— 142.4 - Going into day 3 of my 35 days without a day off. Smooth sailing for the 5 out of 7 days that are at my primary job (Indian restaurant) since it is like my home/living room there. The tough days are when I run from that job to the 2nd one. I won't be able to pick up any shifts at my 3rd job for the foreseeable future. I like picking up shifts there since the pay per hour is much more, so my CPP contributions rise. Yes, including tips I make more than that at the other 2 jobs, but I am looking long term at my monthly "pay" from CPP. Not going to be able to retire, but I do plan to cut back to 4 days per week starting at the beginning of 2026. (My rambling stream of consciousness this morning)
Day 17—05/31— 143.0 - Heading out to cut the rest of the grass before work this morning. Knowing that I won't be getting a day off for 31 more days I am trying to rework by fitting stuff in when I can.
Day 18—06/01— 143.4 - I have been getting up extra early to get stuff done in the yard. Not a split shift today, a straight through so no afternoon break to get things weeded/planted like the last 2 days. I had better get to it now before I have to get ready for work.
Day 19—06/02— 141.4 - What a pleasant surprise! I was up way too early, and that normally spells a weight gain, not a weight loss.
On a sad note, when I put my hearing aid in this morning it had detached. I am truly hoping that it can be fixed on the spot once they open this morning, because I have to work a split shift and hearing is imperative to my job in the restaurant.
Many banner days are maybe finally catching up on the scale. Lol, could just be a fluctuation though. Not the first time that I have been so busy that my calories burned exceeded the calories that I took in.
Day 20—06/03— 139.0! I eat exactly the same thing that I did at 152 and at 130…except for my addition of 1/4 cup of granola and 1/2 cup of plain probiotic yoghurt since March 3rd. Has that made the difference? Also, I slept 2.5 hours later than usual (before weighing) and drank only half of my water yesterday. We shall see what tomorrow brings.
Day 21—06/04— 139.6 - Crazy couple of days at work. Monday evening at 6pm we had a sewer backup so had to stop all water. Yesterday morning I had to go a bit early to meet the first of 3 trades coming in to hopefully fix it. Bathrooms not functional, so I basically drank zero water yesterday when I normally drink 4 large water with lemon throughout the course of my work day. 2 jobs today and tomorrow, sadly the restaurant that I work at in the evening does not have a TV and it is game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals. Yes, I will record it, or hopefully work there is slow tonight and I can leave by 7:30.

Good Hump Day! Already? How did your week go?
I forgot to log in yesterday, but to be fair, I had a few things on my mind.
@kevins198 , glad to see you this week! Keep on keepin' on!
@deepwoodslady ...WOW! The renovation is gorgeous! I envy you. Worth all the inconvenience, I have no doubt. Hope the finishing touches go smoothly!
@dawnbgethealthy Ohhh....sure hope your sewer issue is solved.
@Jon4189 , awesome nebula pic! It's amazing the things our space cameras are able to capture.
Day 15—05/29— 169.8 - Back in the 160's again! Gotta try to keep it there. Have a baseball game tonight, but will take my food in with me....that seems to help. I'll be glad when this grey weather goes away for awhile. I don't have as much ambition to do things.
Day 16—05/30—170.8 - My meds are changing a bit…my Endocrinologist is putting me on extended release metformin at a higher dose, which should help with my weight loss. Going to see my egg lady today to get another 2 dozen eggs. Got more salad mix yesterday. Food is on track.
Day 17—05/31— 170.6 - I am feeling off today.…had a bad night. Kept waking up with panic attacks, which throws everything off. And the metformin is starting to take effect in a way I hoped I could avoid. But we'll see if my body gets used to it, as the doctor suggests.
Day 18—06/01— 170 - Today was a really good day! Went out to breakfast with the SO to Chegg....had an egg white breakfast burrito. Then took a walk....was a gorgeous day for a walk. Wish every day could be like this...except the Phillies lost again. Oh well.
Day 19—06/02 — 170.6 - Hoping to get more done around the apartment today. That will be my exercise. I got a volunteer (the SO) to be my sous chef for meatball making this week. He will get spaghetti with meatballs for his payment.
Day 20—06/03— Didn't weigh
Day 21—06/04— 170.2 - Well, my weight wasn't a success this week but I am still happy that my tumor was pre cancerous and was removed in the dermatologist's office yesterday. It will be checked to see if all the cells were removed. Glad it's gone...I wasn't able to do much with my hand for the last several weeks because of the pain. Making meatballs today for dinner. See ya on the flip side!
Week 3 Start Weight: 169.8
Week 3 Goal: 169
Week 3 Actual Weight: 170.2

Week 3 Goal: 255.4✅ (same goal as last week, but finally made it!) 😃
Week 3 actual weight: 255.2✅The day before the first day of this challenge, I weighed 262.5 lbs. On the first day, I weighed 259.7 lbs. So clearly, this was a case of "food in transit" 😂, as there's no way I really dropped 2.8 lbs in one day. So, I will ignore the three week loss of 262.5 - 255.2 = 7.3 lbs as an anomaly, but I am thrilled with the three week loss of 259.7 - 255.2 = 4.5 lbs (an average 1.5 lbs/week loss).
I made a few more tweaks to make my goal more realistic. Hopefully, I won't have to change it again.
First, I changed my prior weight from 262.5 down to a more realistic 260, to more accurately reflect my progress. Then I changed my goal formulas. My chart only shows one goal line (for clarity), even though I've created two goals: the non-negotiable goal and the optimistic goal. Here's how it works (a little hard to explain):- Non-negotiable goal: lose an average of 0.18 lbs/day (this gets me to my goal weight on 12/31/25). This goal does not change, whether I gain or lose a lot or a little.
- The optimistic goal will never increase, nor be higher than the non-negotiable goal.
- If I fail to reach the optimistic goal, it remains the same until I do reach it,
or it reaches the non-negotiable goal at which point it'll follow that goal line. - If I do reach the optimistic goal, the next day's optimistic goal will be 0.18 lbs less.
- But if I exceed the optimistic goal, the next day's optimistic goal will be 0.18 lbs less than the average of the optimistic goal and the actual weight.
Makes sense? 😂
So, here's my chart now. As you can see from the trend line, the algorithm is not yet convinced I'm on a winning streak. I need to prove it wrong.

@Jon4189 What a fabulous pic. I enjoy them so much!
@Crochetluvr Glad this part of the journey is over for you. I will say a prayer that all the pre-cancer cells were successfully removed. Please keep us posted.
@dawnbgethealthy Oh no! I wish that the two decks were all I had left! My entire upstairs is yet to be done, my livingroom, another bathroom on the upper level and my son's large nearly 700 sq feet basement apartment too. I am also getting ready to have Central Air installed. I have already bought all the components when I had to have the furnace replaced in March. Just waiting for the heating and cooling to fit me in their schedule to return.
I bought a fixer upper with good bones. I have a LONG LONG way to go! Thanks for the compliments on the Primary bedroom Ensuite remodel. It is definitely cozier. I took close up pics so it's hard to see in them that there is actually much more space still there, but it is smaller for sure. It went from about 13 x 24 to about 13 x15.5. Clipping off the end is what gave me the space for a full bath and walk-in closet. It is so worth losing the extra bedroom space for it. Because of my T2D, I am up and down all night going potty and this makes it so convenient! Loving that part of it for sure! Love having all my bathroom and beauty items private in my own bathroom now too. Thanks for the compliments.

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 20—06/03—191.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 193.5) Relieved to see this on the scale but I honestly don’t deserve it. My lunch was excellent and well within perimeters, my dinner was fantastic filled with all great and compliant choices. However, my snacks were filled with excess. I guess I couldn’t just pick ONE and I also kept dreaming about the leftover junk from DD and DGS. I had (too many) dry roasted peanuts straight out of the jar (not counted), a LARGE mug of OVERLY CHOCOLATE hot cocoa, 6 Chips Ahoy cookies and 3 ice cream sandwiches (calm down! They don’t make them as big as they used to!) Overdid it a bit Donna???. I did have about 400 calories and many carbs left over from the day but not THAT MANY! Will the scale catch up tomorrow? I dunno but I sure am going to get my water in today but probably not a lot of movement due to the extreme temps and the smoke from the Canadian fires. But I’ll try to get some unpacking and more organizing done with the new primary bedroom. That means lots of stairs!
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️Day 21—06/04—192.0 ❌ - (Trend Weight: ???) Well, the scale took a day but it caught up with those ice cream sandwiches from night before last. The fiddler always insists on his pay and he’s a greedy little bast##d. Anyway, I could not get my trend weight today because I transferred the weight from my smart scale to my fitbit app incorrectly as 92 lbs instead of 192 pounds. Can’t seem to get it to recognize the change even with restarting computer, restarting phone etc. I hope it will eventually adjust today. If not, I hope it will not mess up the future trends as tomorrows weight will look like a 100 pound increase overnight! Ah, technology was to make life easier, right? I have still managed to land at just below goal so I am all caught up on every single weeks’ goals and thrilled!
🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️ Week 3 Start Weight: 194.2
🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️ Week 3 Goal: To lose 2.1 lbs which is 3 weeks of 0.7 each. I have lost what I have gained so far but need to lose each of those 0.7 goal amounts. Need to land at 192.1 to be on target.

Thank you! Back spasms again last night. Might be time to see a doctor.

. Hi. I’m an unretired (by choice) senior from central B.C., Canada. Back for another round. After being an absolute backsliding turtle for the past ?18 months, my Ultimate challenge goal is to lose 20lbs.
SW: 181.8 ; GW: 161 ; UGW 140
Week 1: 178.6
Week 2: 180.8 ( +2.8) Need to be more resilient when dealing with a lot of moody people
Week 3: 179 ( - 1 )
Week 3:
Day 15—05/29—180 Walked 45 min, wts x3, 37 WW pts. Foot is sore b/c last 20 min of last night's walk was fast as it started thundering..
Day 16—05/30— 179.4 . Fasted until 1pm; tired ++. Afternoon shift, okay but hard time finishing on time. Fish tacos for supper at 8:30pm. Awake from 2 to 4am.
Day 17—05/31— 179.4 1st meal @ 1;30; 30 min on equip (bike,treadmill,stair stepper); worked. Late supper. Terrible night’s sleep, awake from 2 to 6am!
Day 18—06/01— 178.8 Not feeling 100% well. Tonite will focus on sleeping thru the nite. Forgot to buy lottery tickets for staff lottery! Eeek, but no one wants the job 😉
Day 19—06/02— 180, early weigh in. Yard work plus evening shift. Red wine with dinner and 4 small cookies.
Day 20—06/03—181. Well that was not a good plan. Thinking the ‘fasting’ is setting up for hoarding calories so back to a light ( fruit, quinoa & yogert) breakfast. Hope to finish some yard projects. Oh oh, breakfast seemed to trigger desire for food. Off the rails, esp late afternoon to bed.
Day 21—06/04— 179
Week 3 Wt change: - 1

@djsoos a 5.2 loss is three weeks — I'd count that as a win! 👏
@Jon4189 Down 5 pounds in 3 weeks 👏 (nice photo!)
@age_is_just_a_number congrats on food tracking!
— a pound a week! I'm reminded of the Blue Diamond Almonds commercials:
"A can a week — that's all we ask."Everyone else:
"Slow and steady wins the race." (well, maybe not the race, but it'll get you there!)
If you seem to be on a bit of a plateau (been there, done that!)… don't give up! You'll get there!
The closer one gets to their goal weight, the harder it is to lose weight. I'm not looking forward to that! Well, in a way, I guess I am. 🤔🙄🤷♂️"A pound a week — that's all we ask!"

@age_is_just_a_number I'm afraid of staying sedentary for too long.
@deepwoodslady Your home looks so beautiful from the outside. It must be heaven being surrounded by all those trees! And I love the feminine touches in your bedroom and ensuite. Your mirrors are everything!
@Jon4189 Really cool photo!
@dawnbgethealthy Congratulations on beating your goal! You really just stayed the course and it’s paying off!
@Crochetluvr Good news about your tumor being pre cancerous and was promptly removed!

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 1 Actual Weight / 7-Day Avg: 146 / 145
Week 2 Actual Weight / 7-Day Avg: 146.2 / 145.8
Total Challenge gain/loss to date (week 2): + 1.3Week 3
Day 15—05/29—146.3My eating hasn’t been bad at all, so this 3-day plateau might be due to being quite sedentary over the past five or six days because of back pain. Thankfully, the pain seems to be improving, so I'm hopeful that I can start incorporating more movement again soon.
Day 16—05/30—146.6Eating was just ok yesterday. Leisurely walk with my mom & pup.
Day 17—05/31—145.5Still can’t work out, or do anything too strenuous, due to back pain. Thought is was improving, but I did something to it last night and boy, I felt so disabled. Feeling a little better today so I'll take a ton of ibuprofen and take my dad to visit family gravesites around the island. Will be nice to be in the sun.
Day 18—06/01—146.4Managed to get a workout in! Had to improvise due to my back but it felt so good to break the cycle of no exercise!
Day 19—06/02—145.5
Day 20—06/03—145.5My back felt really good yesterday—almost back to normal. But I think I just took 2 steps back. Got carried away yesterday while getting in an upper body strength workout. I should have stayed seated the whole time to ease pressure on my back. Walked the dog right after too. Back to ibuprofen & ice this morning. Ugh! Hoping my updates will turn more positive soon.

@dawnbgethealthy You crushed your week 3 goal! Way to go!
I'm hoping the trades people get the plumbing fixed quickly.@Crochetluvr Such a relief the tumor was pre cancerous and has been removed.
@deepwoodslady Your 7 day trend weight is 192.5. And you made your target for this week. Way to go!
@bteri107 Re "I'm afraid of staying sedentary for too long." —> I am the same. If I don't exercise for three straight days, I get grumpy. I feel like we are more alike than just our name (even spelled the same), age (61 & 57), weight (yours today & mine yesterday 146.1) & height (5'4" & 5'5"). If you tell me you've been married for 34 years and have 4 kids, then I think we are nearly twins.
My stats for today:
Scale down a bit, 7 day trend same as yesterday. Missed my 1770 calorie IN goal. Went over because we had dessert after my daughter and her girlfriend arrived. Didn't exercise, but walked the dog and was housecleaning most of the day… 4 bathrooms, mopped floors, wiped down furniture, spot cleaned walls & baseboards (big dog, lots of drool and fur).

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.
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 142.2 this week)
Week 3 Start Weight: 143.6
Week 3 Goal: 141.8
Week 3 Actual Weight: 139.6 - Hit 139.0 this week
Day 22—06/05— 139.6 - Same weight 3 days in a row. Going on day 3 of no poops, so hoping for a woosh soon. This is unusual for me since I consume so many vegetables and some fruit. I normally go 2-3 times per day. Or maybe my body is just not wanting weight loss so is holding on to everything to turn it into fat lol. (TMI I know)
