100 day Challenge #24 August 23.25 – November 30.25

I weighed myself again later in the morning yesterday and had a lower number; you know me, I've adjusted my chart for the lower number.
Good day yesterday, walked the dog and did intentional exercise. Did some isometric exercises, which didn't get my heart rate up or burn a lot of calories, but definitely put load on my muscles. Food choices were good. Since I've been splitting my breakfast into before workout and after workout, what I'm really doing is eating four meals a day —> small before workout breakfast, larger after workout breakfast, lunch & dinner. Three more days and I'll get rid of that red IN day!
Weekly summary:
Challenge goal: 135lbs
Week goal: return to pre-vacation weight. I'm going to keep it there until I get there.
Daily goal: Keep IN calories to 1770 —> This is what I have control over.I really want to say that I ended Challenge 23 at 140.5 and Challenge 24 doesn't start for me until I return there. Essentially, erase vacation gain. But life doesn't work that way. We make daily choices and have to live with those choices.
Let's zoom out a little:
This is my favourite graph, it shows the average IN calories from the previous 7 days as compared to the current average 7 days of weight. The similarities in the ups and downs is uncanny.
I joined during Challenge 22 week 4.
Total 2025 loss 12lbs.7 -
That is awesome, I just did the calculated based off my heart rates too, and I got 56! I like that!… My max heart rate is 181, and my resting is 48 both based off my Garmin watch. But I believe the workout tests better. In any case we are better than average! :) Keep working it up higher!

Goal This Round: 175.6 (10 pounds)

Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx
🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know Exactly when I get there!)
Thoughts at the start of this round:
This round will be challenging as it includes the U.S. holidays of Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving. All are big foodie or party and dessert type holidays in the U.S. There are also multiple birthday celebrations in my family. In addition, there will be a lot of travel which is traditional in the fall for me as I try to avoid as many icy driving trips as possible in the winter months. There will be lots of doctor appointments away from home as well as Christmas and gift-giving shopping in this round. I will have to make sure I stay on top of my plan in every moment I can and to make the necessary corrections every time the scale goes up. We can’t control the ingredients in restaurant food so portion control will be key when away from home. I will again aim for a 10 pound loss this round. Thanks for sharing your journey with me and allowing me to share mine. I am grateful for you all.

Day 13—09/04—188.0 ❌ (Trend Weight: 185.2) I don’t need to know how travel/sitting and restaurants affect me. I already know from years of experience and documenting. So, I almost didn’t weigh today knowing that it wouldn’t be good but this time curiosity got the best of me. I’ve got a stretch of a couple of days before I travel for an overnight medical trip Monday/Tuesday next week. I hope to make the most of it, even with my DD and DGS arriving today, food-filled totes and all. I’m pre-logging today as soon as I’m done posting. I’m a whole pound above my #7 which is my comfort zone. I won’t be having it!
🐝🐝🐝🐝 Day 14—09/05—183.8 ✅ (Trend Weight: 185.1) A dramatic drop after taking my water pill finally. I think this is probably pretty accurately where I am at. My lowest weight this week was on the 31st at 181.8 . Apparently it was a one day fluke . I feel like I’m chasing an illusion, a dream, but it was so close to the 170’s that I could almost taste it! . So I am 2 lbs up from that number, though I've made goal this week by the skin of my teeth. Since 181.8 I’ve survived the holiday BBQ and also my separate day of travel. I can deal with that I suppose. I’m just dreading the two day trip next week. This is the annual trip I usually go hog wild on. And two days of sitting and driving with lack of movement doesn’t help. It’s a huge college town upscale city. The restaurant choices are Amazing to a small town girl like me. I need to start getting a grip RIGHT NOW.

Enjoy yourself on your trip. And remember that you can have lots of fun without eating and drinking all the things that will cause you to retain water and feel off afterwards. Even if you do eat all those things, it is just two days and when you get back home you'll dial it back in.
You got this!

Good Afternoon! How did we all do this week? I'll back go and check y'all out.
@Jon4189 , another fantastic photo! A lot of people don't approve of AI, but I have been using Gemini to learn more about the universe....things I had no idea about. We tend to not think of anything much outside our own solar system but I think its the things that DON'T directly affect us that are more fascinating than those things that do. Oh...and congrats on the pound loss!
@JimnKC , great loss! You will be in Onederland before you know it!
@deepwoodslady , I empathize. The 160 mark keeps elluding me. We'll get there, though!
Day 08—08/30— 163.4 - Had a light day except for spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and a popsicle for dessert. But sure could have been worse.
Day 09—08/31—163 - I see I didn't have to worry about yesterday. Today so far, I've had pasta salad and 2 slices of a BIG beefsteak tomato. Will have Ramen soup for dinner. Watermelon is on the menu. too. Beautiful day out again today....did a couple errands. My bike needs a small repair which I can handle...will do that a bit later.
Day 10—09/01— 163.4 - supposed to have Cane's chicken for late lunch/early dinner. Haven't had it in awhile. I will be prepared with insulin. Its my meal for the day. Probably have an apple tonight for a snack.
Day 11—09/02— 163.4 - Well, didn't have Cane's....they were closed for the holiday, which was fine. So, ended up with Chinese instead.…no problem. Except the sodium water retention. But that will pass. I had leftover wonton/egg drop soup for lunch....gotta figure out dinner yet. Might be pasta salad....still have some left.
Found out the mice are back. Not much of an issue with me as I keep my apartment pretty clean, but exterminator will be out on Thursday.
Day 12—09/03— 163.6 - A lazy day today..didn't feel like doing much. Had soft boiled eggs and English muffin for brunch. Not sure about dinner. ..don't feel like cooking.
Day 13—09/04— 162.4 - Feeling a little better. Temps are headed up so not finished with the a/c yet. Going to organize my refrigerator and yarn today....they both need it. I feel like making mac and cheese....haven't had it in awhile. And a hard boiled egg sandwich sounds good for lunch.
Day 14—09/05— 163.2 - BAD day for food so far. Not like me. I know part of the problem. This may sound dumb, but I need to get my hair cut and then color it. I don't feel ....not even sure of the word...confident? I feel ugly and have no ambition. I wasn't able to afford the haircut, but I have to get it done anyway. ..I already have the dye. Have an appointment for next Wednesday.
Disappointed that I didn't make goal again. Not giving in to failure, though...I am here indefinitely!
Week 2 Start Weight: 163.4
Week 2 Goal: 161
Week 2 Actual Weight: 163.2

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I remember trying so hard to get to Onederland. The real challenge for so long was staying there. It has been a rough road and there are many more miles in front of me, but I try hard not to get discouraged.
BTW, I don't for one second believe you just let it go. You travel A LOT, and that includes some pretty serious travel. I would be doomed! You've actually been able to stabilize and not let it get too far out of hand and for that you should be so proud! You are not far from Onederland, still yet. I have faith you will get there. I love that you have incorporated a good bit of exercise into your daily life. I need to work on that! Again, thanks for your support. Know that I am in your corner too!

Week 2
Day 08—08/30—145.2 Still coughing and low energy. I need to force myself to get some exercise in today. Any kind of movement will help.
Day 09—08/31—145.8
Day 10—09/01—145.8
Day 11—09/02—DNW
Day 12—09/03—145.9 Busy past couple of days. Haven’t been really mindful of my health. Need to get back on the wagon. Renovation downstairs is going well. Separation wall is down, cabinets and ac unit is installed and currently being wired for power. Next step is finding granite countertop to match what’s already there, paint, then reno the bathroom. Stove gets delivered on the 16th. We keep going.
Day 13—09/04—145.9 Another busy few days ahead, but I’m hoping to squeeze in some time to stock up on food and necessities just in case Hurricane Kiko brings any impact our way. Looks like it’s expected to reach or pass close by early to mid next week. We sure don’t need a hurricane but some rain would definitely be welcome.
Yesterday’s workout/movement: walked Kaya for 60-min

@deepwoodslady - I have it clearly etched in my mind. I got down to 201.1 in August 2021 and you pushed through below 200 around the same time. Then I let it creep up and then the weight flew back on in 2022 and 2023 up into the mid 230s again. I really hurt my knee, new grandma, couldn't go to my classes, constantly fixing food that everyone else wanted instead of what was right for me. I did not want to get back into the mid 240s so I finally started addressing the scale in the room summer of 2024 once again. And while I have travelled I've not let the food situation get out of hand again. I'm gradually peeling it back off. I really enjoy the food on the cruises … the variety is great! But the best part is that I don't have to cook and clean AND that I can eat small portions and still feel like I'm indulging. I eat a lot of seafood and veggies on these trips … and yes I do order dessert every night but usually don't finish it … just want the taste.
Yes the mobility deal is real! I love my strength training, hand weights, the bike for my knee (which I hurt in 2023 where I could barely kneel, walk, etc), and the PT exercises & stretches I've picked up over the past few years. I'm much more mobile than I was in 2021. Not yet as good as I was in 2020 when I really hit the strength training and core exercises hard and I was walking 100 miles per week outside (not counting all my steps but actual real walks) … but getting back there.
Good luck with your upcoming trip to the big city and all the restaurants. Choose wisely and savor tiny portions! You'll see 170 soon.

I don’t know what happened there. I was trying to edit my last post.
***@Crochetluvr Also, I learned a new word ‘Onederland’.
- In the context of weight loss, "Onederland" is a colloquial term for reaching a weight that starts with the number 1, meaning the person weighs under 200 pounds.

🎯 Started strong and then just got back into the maintain mode. Not complaining since it is lower than my last 209-211 holding pattern. But really want to strive to feeling more comfortable in a bathing suit before cruising in the South Pacific in March. Pep Talk Time! 6 months … half a year! Plenty of time to lose 20-30 pounds if I focus on 5 lbs per month … basically a pound a week. Dedicate the next 24 weeks to breaking through those mental barriers and pushing the holding pattern lower and lower. Next month’s goal … <2039/1: 209.8 - Yikes! Strong & Fit class

Happy Scale (free app) that I use to track my moving average or trend weight. It is good every once in a while to view a picture of the progress or lack of.
When getting discouraged … I have to remember that I have made progress. Very slow and very steady.
One year view! Very happy that after skipping weighing in some in June and all of July that I returned to my daily weigh-ins and focus. Didn't let the weight slip back up too far before committing again to myself on the health front.
Looking back at my records I think I first joined this 100 day challenge around 2020 with over 18 rounds under my belt. Now if I can just keep the focus on weight loss and not just record the daily weigh in I should be in Onderland by the end of this year. Positive thinking.
For those that don't know my history with this group … here is the big picture. The lesson learned is don't give up because the weight will reappear. I hate losing weight that I've lost half a dozen times before. But it is better to lose it again than to ignore the gains.

Good morning and happy baby fall! 😂It is too cold today for me, it is 45 degrees this morning, which was nice to cool down the house, but!!! It is still summer, no riding this morning, I like to ride in the 60 as a minimum, so I will go out this afternoon we are suppose to get up to 80 today! Got to love fall in Colorado!
I'm 57 years old, 6'2", and my goal for this 100-day challenge is to reach 178 lbs. I started at 4/11/2025 at ~217.

One day at a time. One pound at a time. Slowly but surely lifestyle changes will lead to a leaner - healthier you.

@Lilylady3k Sleep is such an important component of health. It is where 'all the magic happens'.
The lesson learned is don't give up because the weight will reappear. I hate losing weight that I've lost half a dozen times before. But it is better to lose it again than to ignore the gains.
I love that lesson! I feel exactly the same way.
@Jon4189 It took me a minute to figure out what Nineteentown and EighteenVille meant. But I get it. Someone else describes it as a new decade. We really do need some fun ways to described moving down to the next 10s. Love these options.

Didn't exercise yesterday, but went for a nice long walk. I really wanted/craved an evening snack yesterday. I was not hungry. I even asked my husband if he wanted a snack. He said 'what did you have in mind?'. I said 'I'm not hungry' and then I got up and drank a glass of water. I especially did not want to eat anything because I knew my calories OUT were lower because I hadn't exercised.
Second day in a row in which I weighed again later in the day with a lower number. This does not normally happen to me. I've updated my tracking sheet. I think today, I'll will not re-weigh myself and just stick with the morning numbers.

Hi : - )
I am Dawn. I will turn 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week.

Day 15—09/06— 137.6 - I am dosing myself up with Dayquil and cough syrup just to get through these next 2 workdays. Drinking lot of water with lemon. I can't walk into the hospital sick on Monday morning and expect them to do the procedure. Hoping that this cold crests already. I am getting my nails done during the break on my split shift today, I will wear a mask so as not to infect her.

I didn't know that you are in Colorado. Wow, you really do need to get your riding in while you can - before the snow flies. I think that there is such a thing as snow tires for bicycles? Not sure.
I love Colorado, I zig-zagged across it for a month in the past. Quite a difference from the South to the North and the East to the West. My sister and I got stuck in the Gunnison mountains for a few days when our vehicle broke down. We loved it so much, and still tell that story of our time there.
I enjoy knowing where we all are. @bteri107 in Hawaii, I hope that you got your provisions in for Hurricane season.

I hope you are feeling back to 100% before your trip. I wish we could meet in person when you are here, but we are going to camping at Wheatley. So, opposite direction from your cottage.

I just did the 3 minute step test and got 50. My heart rate only went to 82. I did have a bit of a challenge because my exercise step isn’t high enough, so I put yoga blocks on top to get to 16.5” (a quarter in higher than their instructed height). Stepping on top of the yoga blocks caused an extra bit of a balance challenge.

Another week of slow, but steady progress. I was reasonably consistent with my food calories. I have not had any restaurant food lately. Mostly that happened because someone at work swiped my Door Dash lunch before I could get to it a few weeks ago. I've been packing my healthy lunch since then. Saves $$$ too.
I've also been thinking about how I use my smart watch. I understand that lab values might differ from my watch's VO2 Max measurements, etc., but the reality is that I will use the tools at hand. I use that one tool daily and I watch for trends in all of its measurements. It reads consistently without giving weird outliers. It's going to tell me if I'm doing better or worse over time regardless. I've been using one of these watches for years. Its feedback has helped me to snap out of a number of bad habits.
I guess the same thing goes for my scale. It might be different from the scale at the doctor's office, but it weighs consistently at its own calibration, so I'll watch for trends from that one tool.
It's currently telling me that my VO2 max is high for a 64yo female. It was reading as average prior to the previous 100 day challenge. I got consistent with my workouts and all of the fitness measurements are trending upwards.
Thanks to @Jon4189 and @age_is_just_a_number for the food for thought.
Have a great day, everyone

@age_is_just_a_number , thank you! You brought a smile to my face....I needed that. ❤️
Day 15—09/06— 162.2 - Started today with a granola bar. Have to hit the grocery store later...no milk and need salad fixings. I was just getting used to the cooler weather. I need fall now. Goal is the same....maybe THIS week will be the charm.
