@Crochetluvr Day 85—08/07— 163.8 - After a tough week, I am back on track! The anxiety has passed for now. I had the surgery on my hand 2 days ago and the pain is practically non existent...not like last time. Food is back to normal. I did discover something the other day. I treated myself to an Italian hoagie from Jersey Mike's after the surgery and it did not spike my blood sugar! Now if I ate a cup of potatoes? Different story. Not that I plan on eating a lot of hoagies. Still its nice to know.
So glad your surgery went well and your pain is minimal.
What spikes blood sugar is different for different people. My SIL and niece (mother - daughter) both have under control diabetes but both must monitor their blood sugar. One of them can eat white rice with no demonstrable movement in blood sugar, the other white rice spikes their blood sugar through the roof. I find this very fascinating.@dawnbgethealthy @age _is_just_a_number Do tell about your upcoming trip!
We are spending a few days in Seattle and then going on a 10 day Alaskan cruise. We booked the cruise before the US election results. I'm a little nervous about going through US immigration. I'm not at all nervous about being in the US. My husband's sister and her husband booked it last fall and asked all their friends and relatives if anyone wanted to join them. Initially we said no, then when we realized how short life can be and we decided to seize the day and go for it.
@deepwoodslady ice cream tacos! I'll have to look out for those. Sadly, ice cream doesn't agree with my stomach as much as it does my mouth. I still indulge in it once in awhile. If we find ice cream tacos while we're in the US, then we'll order them to share.

@deepwoodslady If you are coming the US, if you make it to the desert southwest, you can find Deep Fried Icecream or Sopapillas with Cinnamon Icecream!

deepwoodslady lives in northern Michigan. I'm Canadian and live in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). I don't think I've ever had deep fried ice cream. Just google Sopapillas … they look tasty!
My husband and I just ordered a new trailer and hope to travel all through the US with it. But, we might need to wait 3.5 more years before doing that. This will be our 4th trailer. We've been camping for 30 years and travelled all across Canada and some parts of the US with our four kids. The kids are now all grown.

I love that you put that drink back in the fridge after logging it. That is a powerful move. You're in the long game.
Yes to the lifestyle: it's still filled with enjoyable food, and it's more satisfying over the long haul.

You're so active! I think you're going to see fitness gains with those extra cals. You're repairing and rebuilding after those rides.

All my red IN days are gone from my 7 day view. Scale is being kind and I'll take it. A new low 7 day trend weight. Good day yesterday, healthy food choices, walked and exercised.
Yesterday's success: Our eldest son comes by on Thursday's. Yesterday, he was really stressed out because his computer wasn't working. My husband did some online computer comparisons and we took him shopping (he didn't buy a new computer) and then drove him home (~90min round trip). On our way home I knew I had IN calories available and kept thinking about the ice cream in the freezer; I really wanted it; but we got home, I had a nectarine, two apricots and finished the last three pieces of bok choy from dinner. It was healthier and didn't interfere with my sleep and kept me under my IN calories.

@ptitejeanne Look at you in the 150s. It always feels so good!

Oh, these fluctuations. Long game; eyes on the long game.
Food was good yesterday. I got my workout, but I was setting up a new phone and getting it to talk to all the tech and didn't get as much standing time.

I have a similar goal as you about RVing through the states. I also will wait 3.5 years. I have many friends just across the border in Idaho, but for now they have to come up here instead of me going there. Glad that I went down for a week to Idaho and Montana last September and had good visits. I won't be visiting my friends in Florida either, even though they have a pool, a dock, and a boat on the Gulf of Mexico (or whatever it is called now). My parents used to live in Florida, so I have been there many times, I think that I have been to around 40 of the 50 states over the years. These times are tough on both sides, the consumers are paying the price on all things. We do try to keep politics out of the forums, but for sure these are very trying times for so many aspects of society, especially science, manufacturing, and medicine.
My brother and his wife have been 3 times on an Alaska cruise and they absolutely love it. My sister went last year, and the same, she loved it.
Lots of deep fried ice cream in Canada in restaurants that I have worked at or eaten at across the country over the years. I don't have a sweet tooth personally, but I'm sure that you can easily find it in Toronto somewhere.

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.

🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜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 85—08/07—183.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 186.8) I had an excellent and compliant lunch yesterday but dinner was off the charts at a local ice cream place. The Philly cheesesteak was okay and fit into my macros but the ice cream was ridiculous. I didn’t know it would be that large! (ice cream tacos). Had to share with son and still too much. MUCH too much. I was hundreds over on calories, double the allowed carbs. Not enough protein, fats or fiber. Not a good choice but the scale is down today. Either it will show up later or the exercise helped even though the MFP nightly chart still shows me over after the exercise bike session. I’m hoping Lady Luck is on my side for this one. Down 0.2 today so I’ll take it with gratitude!
⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️Day 86—08/08—185.6 ❌ (Trend Weight: 186.7) Over on calories by 373. Does that equal 1.8 lb gain? Hmmm. Well, carbs were over too but still. Correction? Fluid build-up? Ice cream from 2 days ago showing up? Weight was not a fluke because I tried scale 3 times. Humph! Trend weight still going down so I’ll celebrate that small win today and I’ll just have to get over it.

Good Day!
@deepwoodslady , your welcome! Their hoagies are delicious and everything is sliced fresh.
Day 85—08/07— 163.8 - After a tough week, I am back on track! The anxiety has passed for now. I had the surgery on my hand 2 days ago and the pain is practically non existent...not like last time. Food is back to normal. I did discover something the other day. I treated myself to an Italian hoagie from Jersey Mike's after the surgery and it did not spike my blood sugar! Now if I ate a cup of potatoes? Different story. Not that I plan on eating a lot of hoagies. Still its nice to know.
Day 86—08/08— 164.6 - Got out and went miniature golfing ⛳️ today. Haven't done that in ages. My SO took me. He claimed he was going to best me, but we tied. I think he was surprised.
Had a grilled ham and cheese sandwich for lunch. Dinner will probably be a nice salad with chicken.

My brother has also done 2 Alaskan cruises. One just earlier this year. He loved them both.
In the US we've camped as far west as Montana, east as Massachusetts, south as Tennessee. Last year we were at Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. It was absolutely beautiful and quiet. The park is on the Tennessee-Kentucky border. We were right on a time change line within our trailer the time would change from one end to the other. It took us a bit to realize that our phones were changing.
You are right, I am certain any kind of food can be found in the GTA. Not that I need deep fried ice cream (or deep fried anything for that matter).

Trend weight still going down —> That's the part that matters. The rest is just noise. It takes several days (within this thread we've debated between 7 & 10) for the food to truly process and impact the scale in a meaningful way. That is why so many of us (like you) track the trend weight.
@Crochetluvr Glad you enjoyed the mini golf. I don't remember the last time I mini golfed. Oh wait, it was a couple of years ago at a corporate event at an indoor restaurant/mini golf place.

I did a lot of walking yesterday. I walked and used public transit to get to two errands in San Francisco. As an impulse, I also hopped on the N Judah train to dip my toes into the sea at Ocean Beach, then came home. I live across the bay from San Francisco where it is easily 20 degrees hotter than in SF. 15,000 steps.

@crochetluvr
I am happy that you got to do mini-golf after hand surgery. Sounds like fun!!
Yes, likely the ice cream from a few days ago caught up to you. Tough to be mindful at the time that we will pay the price in a few days.
Your excursion sounds like such a great day!

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 2 Start Weight: 143.2

Day 85—08/07— 138.6 - I had a half a fennel sausage as a burger last night with some tater tots. Going to have the same tonight since I have the other half and the buns in the fridge. I pretty much eat the same thing every day, so this might be my meal for the next several days.
Day 86—08/08— 139.6 - Up a pound, transit? So many cherries and blueberries each day, I'm sure that it will work its way through lol.
Day 87—08/09— 139.2 - Farmer's Market this morning. It doesn't start until 10am now, it used to start at 9am. I don't really get much time to poke around since I walk over there and have to get ready for work at 10:30. 100% I will be buying cherries since we are still in the season for 1 or 2 more weeks. They sure do make my guts gurgle lol, but so delicious. The farmer thought that he would have Tiger Eye again this week, they are the only farm that "makes" them.

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 86—08/08—185.6 ❌ (Trend Weight: 186.7) Over on calories by 373. Does that equal 1.8 lb gain? Hmmm. Well, carbs were over too but still. Correction? Fluid build-up? Ice cream from 2 days ago showing up? Weight was not a fluke because I tried scale 3 times. Humph! Trend weight still going down so I’ll celebrate that small win today and I’ll just have to get over it.
⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️Day 87—08/09—183.4 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 186.3) Weight was up 1.8 yesterday and it’s down 2.2 today. What a Drama Queen it it’s being! Round and round and round it goes, where it stops, nobody knows. There is a festival going on nearby today. DD, DGS and I will be going in a little while to give little Owen something to celebrate his healing from the tonsil/adenoid surgery and also have some end-of-summer, back-to-school –soon fun. There will be fair food which is all part of the experience. I will try not to go hog wild. Maybe just be a little bit of a piglet since these types of foods are normally so unavailable to this little community. I don’t want to seriously ruin my progress of late. I will eat some lunch before I leave and that should help.

@dawnbgethealthy Yep, it must have been the ice cream. I know they use salt in the ice cream making process so that probably didn't help. If I can have an occasional treat (for the rest of my life) and only get a TEMPORARY jump up in weight, I would be happy and maintenance (if and when I ever get there) would be so much better!
Everytime I see a quick pound or two jump up, it feels like it's permanent weight, FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I am learning that maybe it is not. Maybe these fluctuations are completely normal. I mean, I did not spend my life weighing everyday so I really don't know. However, I must be very very careful with this thought lest I think I can eat anything I want and it will just go away the next day with very little effort! What a fine line we walk!

yup. It is a balancing act. I like that you decided to eat lunch before going to the fair. That's setting yourself up for success!
I read this precision nutrition info graphic yesterday. I like the way they illustrate the effort required for each esthetic.
I really like their articles.
