Jon I think you’re actually right!! But you had to make me stop and realize it!!

I was focusing on loosing weight… wasn’t working anymore, frustrated!! but if I look at my # right I am maintaining right now, which is not bad. I’m not gaining like I was before!!

Now I need to focus on the right things and get back on track!! Thanks for the advices Jon I will try them!

plantpowered · June 28

I'm so happy to have everything back "in the green" yesterday. Habit formation is in progress. I've also got a good ebb and flow going on with the exercise. Although my goal is 60-minutes of exercise/day, it alternates between higher and lower intensities. For instance, yesterday was more of a recovery day with easy, short walks and a long, dreamy, slow-flow yoga session. Some days are higher intensity. I balance it out between strength, flexibility/mobility, and cardio. Some cardio days are "sprinty" or "HIIT" and others are not. Sarcopenia is the enemy. Low VO2 max is the enemy.

I feel so much better lately. I'm 64 and I feel absolutely lousy when I don't exercise consistently

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Week 7 actual weight:

A note about my weekly goals:
I'm sure some of you will notice my goal of 251.2 with starting weight of 257.4, a loss of 6.2 pounds. I want to assure you, that is not what I'm trying to do. I think 2 lbs/week is the upper limit of a good weight loss strategy. (there can be exceptions, but I'm not one)

So, why that goal? I wanted a firm reminder of what my goal was, and the degree to which I've failed to do what I know I can do. So my weekly goal has continued to drop even as my weight has not. But I'm not happy with that either. So I'm going to start using two weekly goals: original goal and current goal.

Who knows, there's still time that those two goals could merge, but don't bet on it. 😂

We all know calories in / calories out is the winning strategy. How you achieve that is where the challenge lies.

I started taking Magnesium several years ago before bed because I was getting terrible leg/foot cramps in the night. It seems to have worked.

@age_is_just_a_number Thank you for reinforcing that. It absolutely is the secret sauce.

dawnbgethealthy · June 28

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.

Week 4 Start Weight: 139.6

Week 4 Goal: 138.0

Week 4 Actual Weight: 141.8, saw 139.0 again.

Week 5 Start Weight: 141.2

Week 5 Goal: 138.0 - trying for that again

Week 5 Actual Weight: 141.6. Hit 138.4 this week.

Week 6 Start Weight: 139.0

Week 6 Goal: 138.0 - sticking with this goal, I got very close in week 5

Week 6 Actual Weight: 141.4

Day 43—06/26— 140.2 - 2 jobs yesterday and again today. Lots that I want to accomplish before work this morning. 5 more days until 1 day off : - ) 35 days in a row seemed daunting, but one foot in front of the other. I will be happy for the paycheques and lieu days.

Day 44—06/27— 139.0 - The girl that was away at my primary job is back. I have just a short shift today since she will cover the evening portion, and then I have splits the next 2. I will have, and take! some lieu day for sure to get to the lakes while it is hot. 4 more days until a day off : - ) Tonight I am having champagne with a friend after my pedicure, which was postponed since Monday because I ended up working too late to get the visit in. I have been in a "zone" to work like I have been. Property taxes are due, so all of that extra will be eaten up, but all good.

Day 45—06/28— 139.0 - No weight backlash from the champagne last early evening. Had a beautiful pedicure beforehand, the woman who does my feet is a nurse and really gets right in there, very needed. Split shift today. I have my list for this morning and my list for my 2 hour break later. Garlic scapes are beginning to curl, 2 curls and they have to be cut. I give them to my neighbour who makes stuff with them.

This is the setting where I get my feet done:

Day 46—06/29—

Day 47—06/30—

Day 48—07/01—

Day 49—07/02—

Week 7 Start Weight: 140.2

Week 7 Goal: 138.0 - I just keep plugging that one in. I have to start somewhere for my September goal of 130.0 right?

Week 7 Actual Weight:

@dawnbgethealthy What a relaxing atmosphere for the pedicure and what a lovely view! We have one salon and I'm not even sure if they give pedicures. Perhaps. But I know they give facials because I have ordered nails and facials for both my daughters slightly before they gave birth. Just to relax and spoil them a bit I guess. The salon is very tiny and the "special services" are done in the basement which is only about 600 or 700 square feet in total (just like the upstairs). Part of the basement is the laundry room and also a storage area. So the actual space to do the "services" is even smaller. Oh how nice it would be to have a lovely view!

My foodie daughter has ingrown toenail right now. I don't know if pedicure would help with that? I suppose it would be nice for us to find a place in another county or town that makes the pedicure a much better experience! Thanks for sharing the pics. Sometimes I forget how the rest of the world lives lol!

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!)

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. This breaks down to 0.7 lbs per challenge week. I don’t think that is too much to ask of my mind, my body and my spirit! 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 44—06/27—189.8 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 191.0) Dipping my toe back into the 180’s pool and it is feeling good. I think I’ll dive right in! I’m looking for that magical 7 (187 point anything or less) My clothing feels so much better when I’m bouncing around the 180’s over the 190’s. Records show that I was mid 180’s last June so that makes sense. BTW, I FINALLY got a little sleep last night. Almost 7 hours which is UNHEARD of for me. Feels SO good! Have a great weekend everyone!

🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊 Day 45—06/28—191.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.0) What a disappointment! I was well under calories yesterday (988). My carbs were within my limits and made up of healthy carefully chosen items. Contributing factors are likely a lack of sleep last night (5 hours), a very late dinner (11:30 pm ) and no TMI this morning. I am a night owl and my dinner is usually at about 8:30 or 9:00 pm. However, the pork loin just wasn’t cooking as fast as it should have been on the inside. It did finally get done but is my oven okay? I guess I will find out in the days/weeks to come. Most days are just too hot to turn the oven on right now. Anyway, hopefully things will settle in so I can meet my weekly goal. At today’s weight I would have to lose nearly 2 pounds in the next 4 days which is highly unlikely unless it is a TMI issue. Fingers crossed!

Good Afternoon, Everybody!

@deepwoodslady , I will keep my fingers crossed for you! I can't eat late....I end up with acid issues.

@frankwbrown , whatever motivates a person is right for them. I keep my goal about a pound below what I weighed at that time but that's because I normally only lose a half pound a week. If I could lose 2 a week, it would probably be different. 🙂

Day 43—06/26— Forgot to weigh myself, but its ok. It was a much better day. The temperature was about 15⁰ lower and the a/c cooled things off just fine. I got to the grocery store and got more salad greens and veggies and strawberries. I also picked up a new bathing suit I ordered from Macy's. I was so pleased as to how it looked on me! Five more pounds and it will be perfect, but I can still wear it. No plus size suits anymore!

Day 44—06/27— 167.8

Day 45—06/28— 167.8 - I am amazed at how well my sugar numbers have been since I stopped taking the mealtime insulin and just doubled up on the metformin. Its mostly when I eat right, but I do that most of the time anyway, but if I splurge, its not as effective. That's to be expected, though. Not having to inject insulin all the time works for me.

I take Magnesium Glycinate. I buy the house brands from health food stores near me.

My doctor's notes on magnesium: "400 to 800mg based on bowel tolerance." The recommended minimum of 400mg taken at bedtime seems to work for me. I sleep well. No diarrhea. My mom takes it too. It helps her with sleep and muscle cramps in her legs.

What relaxing setting for a pedicure! I'll need one soon.

age_is_just_a_number · June 28

Posting late today. Yesterday was the first day I really really felt retired. I had an ultrasound at 3 and theatre tickets for a 7:30 curtain and we almost forgot both of them. Thank goodness for calendar reminders! Weird eating day yesterday. Ended up have a quick gazpacho soup for dinner. But then at intermission, I was hungry. My husband held firm (only 'bad' snacks at the theatre), but he said we'd get something after the show. We did get some shawarma. It wasn't the best shawarma, thankfully, we split one order because it was 10:30. It is very rare for me eat anything (forget about something that heavy) at 10:30. Needless to say, I'm not surprised that my weird day yesterday reflected as 'food in transit' today. Today, we visited our youngest son, always a stressful, little movement day. Had pizza and veggies with him at lunch. I'm voting for salad and a glass of wine for dinner. My husband does the cooking, so we'll see what happens.

P.S. 'bad' snacks
My husband's definition —> too expensive and of low quality
My definition —> of zero nutritional value and many calories

@dawnbgethealthy Nice view! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing mountains in August.
Based on your garden comments, I think you have the garden of my dreams. My husband & I both grew up in the Niagara region. Living in the GTA now, we've tried several different gardens and have had very little success. That coupled with the fact that we tend to camp during the summer when all the 'tending' and weeding needs to be done, does not help.

@frankwbrown Re your goals —> You have to do what works for you. These words in your post jump out at me "I've failed" and "I'm not happy" (I know not in context, but still they are in your post). You started challenge 23 on May 15th at 259.7lbs. Today, you weighed 255.1lbs. That's 4.6lbs in 6 weeks or just shy of a pound a week. Could you have done better? I don't know. Maybe you could have. But it really does not matter. What matters is what are you going to do tomorrow and the next day and the next day. We cannot control the past. We only have influence over the future. This isn't your first rodeo, so I know you already know these things. For me, personally, I prefer to focus on what I've achieved and what I can influence going forward. Will you make 220 by the end of the year? I don't know and either do you. But why does that matter? So long as you are making progress, then you are making progress and, by the way, you ARE making progress.

@plantpowered Re "I feel absolutely lousy when I don't exercise consistently". —> I'm the same. Do you exercise at home, at a gym, follow a program? I use FitOn and BOD. I'm currently doing BOD 9 Week Control Freak.

@deepwoodslady Re ingrown toenail. If it gets infected, she may need to go to a chiropodist or podiatrist. My youngest son seems to be getting one too. I cut all his nails today during our visit and let staff know to put polysporin on it every night at bed time for the next two weeks. Hopefully, they will do that and it won't get infected. Taking him to a doctor is a production.

@Crochetluvr So glad your blood sugar is stabilizing. I'd much rather take a pill than an injection too!

@bteri107 Thanks for sharing the Magnesium information.

deepwoodslady · June 28

@Crochetluvr I also have acid issues but they are controlled as I take two prescription acid pills per day. One at about 8:30 pm at dinner and another at around 2 or 3:00 am bedtime. It completely controls it. Without it would be horrible due to my late eating and night time snacks. However, the more I'm reading up on things lately, the more I'm realizing that the acid preventers are not so good for your overall health. I may have to rethink all of it!

@bteri107 Thanks for the information on the Magnesium. I may pick some up next time I'm in a city shopping. No big box stores or health food stores around me.

Dinner was salad and a glass of wine for dinner PLUS a little bruschetta and a half of a cup of cottage cheese. I went way over on the IN, wiped out my deficit for the week. I did go for an evening walk to move my body. Today I will exercise.

Re: ingrown toenails.

My Mom would get them and I would get them.

There are lots of home fixes, like a tiny piece of cotton soaked in almond oil or any oil and pushed underneath the ingrown and leave it there. It slowly lifts the nail back out. Some people swear by cutting the nail straight across. Cutting them out seems counterintuitive to me, like it encourages them to grow in the same pattern. My pedicurist is a nurse, and she does specialize in seniors. Sometimes it is just a buildup under the nail of dead stuff and getting that scraped off might help.

dawnbgethealthy · June 29

I had to look it up too!

Sarcopenia is a type of muscle atrophy primarily caused by the natural aging process. Scientists believe being physically inactive and eating an unhealthy diet can contribute to the disease.

So….stay physically active, and don't eat an unhealthy diet is what I take from that.

I get my stuff delivered from Piping Rock out of New Jersey.

Magnesium, scented oils, lip balm, vitamin C etc.

Check it out @deepwoodslady they have really good sales. No need to go to a big box store. Amazon also has just about everything with pretty quick delivery.

dawnbgethealthy · June 29

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.

Week 4 Start Weight: 139.6

Week 4 Goal: 138.0

Week 4 Actual Weight: 141.8, saw 139.0 again.

Week 5 Start Weight: 141.2

Week 5 Goal: 138.0 - trying for that again

Week 5 Actual Weight: 141.6. Hit 138.4 this week.

Week 6 Start Weight: 139.0

Week 6 Goal: 138.0 - sticking with this goal, I got very close in week 5

Week 6 Actual Weight: 141.4

Day 43—06/26— 140.2 - 2 jobs yesterday and again today. Lots that I want to accomplish before work this morning. 5 more days until 1 day off : - ) 35 days in a row seemed daunting, but one foot in front of the other. I will be happy for the paycheques and lieu days.

Day 44—06/27— 139.0 - The girl that was away at my primary job is back. I have just a short shift today since she will cover the evening portion, and then I have splits the next 2. I will have, and take! some lieu day for sure to get to the lakes while it is hot. 4 more days until a day off : - ) Tonight I am having champagne with a friend after my pedicure, which was postponed since Monday because I ended up working too late to get the visit in. I have been in a "zone" to work like I have been. Property taxes are due, so all of that extra will be eaten up, but all good.

Day 45—06/28— 139.0 - No weight backlash from the champagne last early evening. Had a beautiful pedicure beforehand, the woman who does my feet is a nurse and really gets right in there, very needed. Split shift today. I have my list for this morning and my list for my 2 hour break later. Garlic scapes are beginning to curl, 2 curls and they have to be cut. I give them to my neighbour who makes stuff with them.

Day 46—06/29— 140.0 - Surprised by this jump in weight, pretty much a perfect day food and exercise wise. I suppose that it is the champagne from a couple of days ago. Maybe a better weight tomorrow morning, but I am having company Monday after work for Mojitos with mint from my garden…and snacks. Then….an actual day off!! I got the scapes cut during my break. Today during my break a friend is coming to dig up some of my way too spread bearded irises. I was looking for a taker. I will need to quickly put on some gardening clothes and then he will arrive and we will start digging.

As for my day off, there are giant weeds in my potato garden. 9 rows, so it will likely take all day, which I will love. They are way taller than the potatoes, especially on the left side. It will be a challenge to pull them and not have the potato plants pull out at the same time. It is a day-off type of job only, not to be done a bit here and there. I will enjoy it, but I just haven't been able to keep up because of the lack of days off. This will serve as the before picture:

Day 47—06/30—

Day 48—07/01—

Day 49—07/02—

Week 7 Start Weight: 140.2

Week 7 Goal: 138.0 - I just keep plugging that one in. I have to start somewhere for my September goal of 130.0 right?
