    So much for the 145s & higher being behind me…. sigh…

    Yesterday was an active recovery day. I went for two walks, cleaned bathrooms, did laundry and did some stretching in the afternoon. I'm surprised I'm feeling a little sore today. But I'll get my workout in.

    I'm so glad I joined this challenge. I didn't know it would go this way, but I am building sustainable habits. My food choices have improved and my fitness level has improved.

    I'm now a true believer of this 10-day rolling average. It took about 10 days of eating much healthier food to get rid of the puffiness I had in one of my ankles. I only see that swelling when I'm really off track, and it's a warning signal that I have done some damage and even my internal organs have suffered. I see that it takes MANY days to undo the damage that I can do by going off the rails for even 2-3 days. I don't get away with anything anymore. This has to be my "new normal". Thanks to @Jon4189 for taking the time to explain it.

    Have a great day, everyone.

    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 7:

    Day 43 ~ 06/26: 178.4, a gain which I felt happening yesterday. Focus today is to get this off. Adding salads to weiner roast dinner plans. Thankfully my hip pain has lessened to just the usual discomfort so will work in a session on my stationery bike.

    Day 44 ~ 06/27: 178.6 Baking for luncheon tomorrow. Indulged in white bread & marg, my krypto.

    Day 45 ~ 06/28: 178.2 Pot luck at memorial luncheon. No exercise per se.

    Day 46 ~ 06/29: 177.8 On day 13 of keeping a complete food journal; a few days have gone off the rails but still just recording what I’ve consumed is a “win” for me. Have a friend staying over tomorrow night so wine will be involved but hoping to keep as per my plan so all’s within points by day’s end. Working later today; always a bit of a challenge getting thru dinner hour, serving a Sunday -type dinner w/o caving in to the urge of “just a small plate”. Mowing lawn is planned exercise today.

    Day 47 ~ 06/30: 177.6 Arranged to have someone else work my afternoon shift. Finished lawn this afternoon. Company for dinner; lasagna and salad. And of course, a bit of “red”.

    Day 48 ~ 07/01: 178.2 Holy, what a long day. On the road by 7, long day in Kamloops (very hot there!) car shopping etc.

    Day 49 ~ 07/02: 179.4 yikes! Combination of fluid retention and higher carb intake over past 2 days.

    Week 7 Target: 177. Missed it. Arrow’s somewhere in the grass!!

    Week 7 Actual Weight: 179.4

    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

    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: 138.4

    Day 50—07/03— 139.8 - Up 1.4 from yesterday for some reason. C'est ma vie lol. I was only .4 away from my goal yesterday.

    Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 4.6 - It doesn't mean too much too me because I am so up and down and all around. The start weight of the 100 I think was 3 pounds more than my end weight from the previous (I will have to check).

    Day 51—07/04— 139.2 - Ending up with a short workday today, so I will try to get 3 more rows of the potato garden weeded starting at 3:30 and then give everything a good watering. 11-7 the next 2 days, and then a split on Monday, and then a day off : - )

    100 Days of Weighing In #23 ^^^^^ May 15, 2025 thru Aug 22, 2025

    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.

    CURRENT WEEK:

    Day 50—07/03—188.8 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 190.2) Okay, right back down to the weight I was before my disgusting binge. NOW, to start making progress although I must be honest and say it may not be during this Holiday Independence Day weekend! I’ll do my best but Saturday’s BBQ and Sunday’s weigh in is going to be tough. However, hopefully there is enough o time to make any holiday set-backs a distant memory by the end of week 8.

    Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 5.4 lbs Lost

    🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️Day 51—07/04— DNW 💠 - (Trend Weight: DNW) Today is my no-weigh Friday and it’s just as well. I must confess that yesterday was not a good day on any level. I did get in a bit of intentional exercise but only about half of what I have been aiming for. Diet was WAY off as the 250th birthday party for the USA was off to a pretty big start yesterday made possible by my lovely foodie daughter and DGS. Today should be an okay food day as our family BBQ will not be until tomorrow (Saturday). I may skip weighing in on Sunday as it would just be a temporary bloat and misrepresentation. I don’t need the scale to tell me that if I partake in the typical foods at our BBQ’s I will bloat and gain. Today most of my children have gone kayaking or tubing down river. I am taking care of all the littles. 3 of them age 4-7. Maybe I’ll get in more steps today? Happy Birthday America!

    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 8:

    Day 50 ~ 07/03: 178 Rather pointless day as plans kept changing. Had hoped to get out paddling but temps dropped. Paid bills etc. Financial re organizing.

    Halfway Progress Report: -3.8.Pounds Lost so Far, but aware I’ve wasted many days.

    Day 51 ~ 07/04: 177.2 August is going to be awesome! In 30 days I’ll be joining a friend for 6 days on Pender Island (Gulf Island just on north side of US / Canada marine border). Have Grandson visiting a week later, followed by a Family Weekend later in so put in for a “leave of absence’ from Aug 3rd to 28th. Told manager I’d be ‘her girl’ for July, working whatever shifts needed coverage! Lol, Now to make every day count!! Dusting off exercise machines in the carport is on today’s “Job List”.

    Day 52 ~ 07/05:

    Day 53 ~ 07/06:

    Day 54 ~ 07/07:

    Day 55 ~ 07/08:
