    That’s really odd. I wonder if someone accidentally hit flag instead of like??

    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 9:

    Day 57 ~ 07/10: 176

    Day 58 ~ 07/11: 176.4 called in to work morning shift.

    Day 59 ~ 07/12: 175.8 Did morning orientation for 1 hr, then returned to work afternoon shift.

    Day 60 ~ 07/13: 177.4 Worked a split, morning shift then split the afternoon shift. “Kids” were visiting so didn’t want to be gone all day.

    Day 61 ~ 07/14: 176.4 Worked afternoon shift. Wow, I’m tired after doing the morning shifts etc.

    Day 62 ~ 07/15: 176.8 Took my car with a friend to pick up kayaks she bought. Looking fwd to more paddling 😊 Mowed bottom third of lawn. Awesome 9 ½ hour sleep!!

    Day 63 ~ 07/16: 176.4 Another sunny day. Just wish it was the beginning of June rather than mid July! Yardwork is on today’s agenda.

    Week 9 Actual Weight: 176.4 .. okay with this. Aiming for 175 next week.

    Challenge Starting Weight: 144.9 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 140 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbs

    More than ever, I need to focus on my health. I know what to do, I just need to work on consistency.

    Week 9

    Day 57—07/10—145.3 Slowly getting back on track eating-wise, after a week long family celebration. Workout: 30-min upper body strength training, 5-min core, 45-min walk the dog.

    Day 58—07/11—144.5

    Day 59—07/12—144.9 Cocktails last night. I feel a bit puffy this morning. Tonight I’m attending the annual Obon festival, where lines are long for the traditional foods & goodies they sell. I’ll try to keep my appetite in check.
    Yesterday's Workout: 30-min kettlebells, 10-min core, 30-min full-body stretch

    Day 60—07/13—145.9 Obviously, I enjoyed the festival last night. And tomorrow I am meeting a friend for Happy Hour. I already know where this is going. 😉

    Day 61—07/14—144.7 Better food choices yesterday but I’m meeting one of my besties this evening for an early dinner and cocktails so I’ll try to be mindful.
    Yesterday’s Workout: 30-min cycling, 10-min toning (light weights), 10-min core

    Day 62—07/15—145.2  And there you have it. A slight increase due to 2 vodka mojitos, a shared pasta entrée & steak appetizer. It was worth it.

    Day 63—07/16—144.2  Best day of the past 7 days for food choices.
    Workout: 30-min kettlebells, 10-min core, 15-min full-body stretch

    Week 9 Start Weight: 145.3
    Week 9 Goal: In the 144's
    Week 9 Actual Weight: 144.2

    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.

    Day 61—07/14—192.2 💠 (Trend Weight: 191.2)

    Day 62—07/15—191.0 -✅ (Trend Weight: 191.2) I’ve only dropped on the scale one time in the last 11 days (since 4th of July) and that was only for a hot minute. So this is very welcomed. That holiday (for some strange reason) put me on a drunken binge although no alcohol has been involved. I hope I’ve turned a corner here and will start making some progress again. I’m tired of “staggering around” when I could be making leaps and bounds!

    🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️Day 63—07/16—191.0 💠 (Trend Weight: 191.1) No change in weight. Trend down a notch. I am so excited about seeing Superman tomorrow. Very tall grandsons (age 17 & 19) have chosen Golden Corral while downstate for the movie. Such a treat for rural folks like us. My DGS who is autistic (age 9) will also be going with us along with my own adult autistic son. Young DGS has only been to the movies once but is finally able to handle the sound and large colorful graphics (I think). It is going to be fun. I’ll try to be reasonable at the buffet but I know that no matter what happens it will only be a couple of days to shake it off. Honestly, the real challenge is eating bad things for four days straight every week when DD and other DGS are here. They’ve become part of my lifestyle in their current situation and I’ve got to adapt in the healthy ways that keeps me focused on my overall health and weight goals. It’s right in front of me, I see it clearly. I’ve just got to reach harder, reach farther, touch it, then grab it up and make it my own! This is a disappointing end of week weight for sure. I gained .6 instead of losing .7. I have a lot to make up for in the coming weeks but I am going to continue on with my original goals and see what happens. I will chip away at it in the biggest chunks I can from week to week. Observation looking over my week: My meals were very good, my exercise and water much improved. However, my snacks at night were ridiculous. I really have made a pig of myself. I feel like a drowning person who sees a buoy in the water but the nighttime snacks just keep pushing me back, further and further away from that buoy, away from saving myself. It’s sink or swim!

    💥💥💥 Week 9 Start Weight: 190.4

    💥💥💥 Week 9 Goal: 2.5 Loss to land at 187.9 if I am to stay on original target. Lots of ground to make up! Perhaps I can make up part this week and part next if I can keep my head out of the proverbial cookie jar!

    💥💥💥 Week 9 End Weight: 191.0

    💥💥💥 Cumulative Weight Loss/Gain So Far: 3.2 lbs Lost

    @Jon4189 I do use Zwift and I love it! I meant that I would have bought their bike instead had I known about it. I figured out how to make my spin bike by installing a Favero Assioma power pedal. That's what the app needed in order to read my power output and cadence, and now I can ride using their Z-Power mode. It's good enough for my purposes.

    Your bike will have greater functionality. I get a fantastic, fun workout out of this thing. It's the only high intensity cardio that my joints are happy with.

    My favorite ride recently was in the France world: "The Croissant". So pretty! I've slowly made it to level 15 so far. I've never been a fast rider.

    I enjoy this a million times better than spin classes. Have fun!!!

    Very Cool! I just started on Sunday with Zwift, I am up to level 5, just did my first FTP test too! I use to be much faster in my 40's and late 30's. I use to race a bit. I need to get my FTP back up. As I get closer to 175 lbs I will switch from weight loss to FTP Training. I am going to do zone 2 training mainly for the next 2 months, and get my base back up while losing weight. Trying to go VO2Max and FTP training right now would be counter productive, but zone 2 will help with my base and help me lose fat!

    I need to find the: "The Croissant" 😁

    Clear Roads!

    @Jon4189 You broke through your plateau in just a week! That's impressive.

    Official week 9 results for Calories IN average is 1781. Good day yesterday. Exercised, went shopping and walked the dog. Calories OUT according to my FitBit are 1857, but that seems wrong. Normally, on a day like yesterday, I'd have more like 2200 - 2300. I'm certain at bed time yesterday is was 2400. But all just estimates anyway, so I logged 1857 from FitBit.

    I kept within my calories and even had ice cream and a Reese's cup. It was the smallest bowl of ice cream I've ever had, but it was enough to get the creamy satisfaction.

    @deepwoodslady

    About buffets:

    Having worked in and around the restaurant business for a long time, I feel like the best use of a buffet is to eat the expensive stuff and skip the cheap stuff (breads, rice, desserts, potatoes, pasta). Restaurants hope that people fill up on the cheap stuff so that they can make a bigger profit.

    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

    Week 8 Start Weight: 139.8

    Week 8 Goal: 138.0 - I just keep plugging that one in.

    Week 8 Actual Weight: 140.4 Week 9 Start Weight: 138.0

    Week 9 Goal: took out my weekly goal for this week.

    Week 9 Actual Weight: 139.6 - Hit 136.4 this week.

    Day 64—07/17— 140.4 - Very disappointed to see this number for the beginning of this new week. Maybe too few calories yesterday? 1066. Up very early, so I know that is a factor, plus no TMI until after coffee, which is also a factor. I will just keep plugging. 2 jobs today, but lots to accomplish this morning before that. I have my list : - )

    More than ever, I need to focus on my health. I know what to do, I just need to work on consistency.

    Week 10

    Day 64—07/17—143.9  For the past week and a half, I’ve been consistent with getting in at least 30–45 minutes of daily physical activity, and I’m hoping to keep that going. Food choices can be tricky, though. I do have two planned dining-out occasions this weekend that I’ll need to be mindful of.

    Yesterday’s exercise: 20-min cycling, 45-min brisk dog walk. Leg extensions to strengthen my knees. 5-min stretch.

    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 63—07/16—191.0 💠 - (Trend Weight: 191.1) No change in weight. Trend down a notch. I am so excited about seeing Superman tomorrow. Very tall grandsons (age 17 & 19) have chosen Golden Corral while downstate for the movie. Such a treat for rural folks like us. My DGS who is autistic (age 9) will also be going with us along with my own adult autistic son. Young DGS has only been to the movies once but is finally able to handle the sound and large colorful graphics (I think). It is going to be fun. I’ll try to be reasonable at the buffet but I know that no matter what happens it will only be a couple of days to shake it off. Honestly, the real challenge is eating bad things for four days straight every week when DD and other DGS are here. They’ve become part of my lifestyle in their current situation and I’ve got to adapt in the healthy ways that keeps me focused on my overall health and weight goals. It’s right in front of me, I see it clearly. I’ve just got to reach harder, reach farther, touch it, then grab it up and make it my own! This is a disappointing end of week weight for sure. I gained .6 instead of losing .7. I have a lot to make up for in the coming weeks but I am going to continue on with my original goals and see what happens. I will chip away at it in the biggest chunks I can from week to week. Observation looking over my week: My meals were very good, my exercise and water much improved. However, my snacks at night were ridiculous. I really have made a pig of myself. I feel like a drowning person who sees a buoy in the water but the nighttime snacks just keep pushing me back, further and further away from that buoy, away from saving myself. It’s sink or swim!

    💥💥💥 Week 9 Start Weight: 190.4

    💥💥💥 Week 9 Goal: 2.5 Loss to land at 187.9 if I am to stay on original target. Lots of ground to make up! Perhaps I can make up part this week and part next if I can keep my head out of the proverbial cookie jar!

    💥💥💥 Week 9 End Weight: 191.0

    💥💥💥 Cumulative Weight Loss/Gain So Far: 3.2 lbs Lost
