100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ August 14, 2019 through November 21, 2019
My Name is Donna, Age 59. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
“What you eat in private will show up in public.” ~Unknown
Day 01 – 08/14 ……197.8……
Day 02 – 08/15 ……195.4……Whoosh! A good day yesterday. Stayed on point all around.
Day 03 – 08/16 ……196.0…… Oops. Pizza.
Day 04 – 08/17 ……196.2…… Normal fluctuation. A conservative dinner out yesterday in which I showed much restraint.
Day 05 – 08/18 ……196.0…… A bit better.
Day 06 – 08/19 ……196.0…… Backyard BBQ always stalls me.
Day 07 – 08/20 ……195.4…… A nice well-earned overnight drop.
Day 08 – 08/21 ……196.7…… So happy I found the part 2 challenge. It is exciting to do the whole thing this time. I had an increase due to DQ yesterday. My own fault & today I’ve paid for it. Good luck everyone!
Day 09 – 08/22 ……196.2…… Better. I fought the cravings last night & won.
Day 10 – 08/23 ……194.4…… WooHoo! Worked hard for this yesterday eating just 1100 calories and burning over 3200. “ Let’s just keep it up Donna,” she says to self!
Day 11 – 08/24 ……196.6…… Fish fry dinner out last night. Stayed within calories but over on carbs. No worries. Today is remedy day. Flushing sodium!
Day 12 – 08/25 ……196.4 ……s..l..o..w.. progress. But it’s a journey, right?
Day 13 – 08/26 ……193.0…… Travel Day. I hope I choose well & I don’t come home & blow the whole day bingeing just because I had a nice restaurant lunch while out of town. That’s the goal today! Scale will be up a bit tomorrow, but hopefully it will be just water retention that can be erased within 48 hours.
Day 14 – 08/27 …197.8…… After Travel Weigh-in. Nearly 5 pounds gained overnight! Much of it has to be water from the restaurant food & the late night binge I spiraled into. I’ll be working hard on flushing today & making good choices.
Day 15 – 08/28 ……195.6…… Losing some of that binge & travel weight from Monday. More to go…..
Day 16 – 08/29 ……195.4…… BBQ last night stalled me a bit, but still moving slightly down on the scale.
Day 17 – 08/30 ……193.6…… Extra low calories & carbs yesterday on purpose to shake things up! Yes to the whoosh. Today, back to my normal healthy plan & hopefully another difference (even if small) on the scale. Progress is what counts!
Day 18 – 08/31 ……192.6…… Thrilled with this but traveling today so I must keep myself in control!
Weight Loss in Auguast (18 days)……………….. 5.2 lbs
Day 19 – 09/01……192.6…… Staying level with the scale, even over a holiday weekend so far. Going to try to keep it strong!
Day 20 – 09/02 ……194.2…… I ate 885 Calories last night and gained 1.6 pounds. Wow!
Day 21 – 09/03 ……194.8…… I obviously enjoyed my Labor Day Holiday. However, body is acting weird on scale (see yesterday) so its time to shake things up!
Day 22 – 09/04 ……194.8…… Still shaking!
Day 23 – 09/05 ……194.6……slightly better thanks to bathroom duty TMI. But I really need to work harder toward the 180’s. Going on a picnic later but will be mindful & will hike along river while there to offset the meal. I want the 180’s this month. I mean, I REALLY REALLY want it!
Day 24 – 09/06 ……193.0……I really shook it up yesterday. Hiked instead of just walked and added a few carbs by having a lovely riverside picnic near the trail. Also danced for almost 20 minutes last night. Sample song, “To Love Somebody” by the Bee Gees. It wasn’t fast, but it got a great vibe & groove on and put me back in the mood to stay on my journey. Music working its magic! I hope you'll put that little 3 minute song on and be inspired today. Join me!
Day 25 – 09/07 ……193.4……A slight gain because of a very severe diabetic sugar drop late last night that forced me to eat carbs specifically laid out by my doctor’s plan for my Type 2 Diabetes. Otherwise, I had a great on point day with calories & extra exercise. Moving on.
Day 26 – 09/08 ……193.4…… Happy with this after the fresh zucchini bread from my neighbor last night!
Day 27 – 09/09 ……193.6…… Finished off the zucchini bread last night so I just barely treaded water. Back to business today!
Day 28 – 09/10 ……193.6…… Same old song & Dance. Come on September, throw me a bone!
Day 29 – 09/11 ……193.6…… I hope for a whoosh tomorrow before the travels!
Day 30 – 09/12 ……195.4…… Unexpected travel yesterday causing gain today. Now Travel & restaurant again today for an occasion. Another gain expected tomorrow due to probable water retention & lack of exercise/movement. Uggg.
Day 31 – 09/13 ……197.8…… After Travel weigh-in. Likely a lot of water retention. I’ll be working on this the next few days.
Day 32 – 09/14 ……197.4…… Still retaining traveling water from sodium filled meals & lack of movement!
Day 33 – 09/15 ……193.0…… Whoosh! There goes that water retention from the Chinese food. Now, to stay on track until the next travel day.
Day 34 – 09/16 ……191.0…… I just can’t tell you how thrilled I am. I really worked hard for this yesterday!
Day 35 – 09/17 ……190.6…… I really needed these drops these past few days. Upcoming travel again which always reeks havoc but it’s usually a temporary set-back.
Day 36 – 09/18 ……191.8…… Out of town travel with lots of car sitting & restaurant is in the day’s plan this afternoon. I ate too much (a double helping) of my “diet” pre-prepped food last night. It showed up on the scale this morning. And now travel with restaurant today. This required trip came at a bad time.
Day 37 – 09/19 ……195.0…… After travel weigh-in. Very disappointed. I practiced more restraint than normal at the restaurant. Food choices not the greatest, but quantity of food eaten much smaller than days gone by. Water retention sucks!
Day 38 – 09/20 ……193.2…… Dropping some of the water weight. More to go!
Day 39 – 09/21 ……193.0…… Every little bit counts! TMI would really help!
Day 40 – 09/22 ……193.0…… Holding steady even after a T2D glucose drop which forced me to eat a few more carbs than I’d planned. I stayed calm and did not quickly overeat (which is the instinct) and used the smarties candy method my doctor advised. It worked. I stayed on track with my diet plan without too much damage to my macros.
Day 41 – 09/23 ……193.0…… No change again.
Day 42 – 09/24 ……192.2…… That’s more like it!
Day 43 – 09/25 ……192.2…… Travel Day #1. This means less movement, restaurant food and less water, but I’ll really try to improve on all 3 today keeping my goals in mind as much as possible.
Day 44 – 09/26 ……196.6…… Travel Day #2 and after travel weigh-in. I hate the water retention after a restaurant meal! I promise I didn’t eat the 15,000 calories that are required for a true 4 ½ pound gain! Lack of movement in car doesn’t help either. I was up late just working to get in my 10,000 plus steps!
Day 45 – 09/27 ……198.0 …… After two days of travel. I’m very disappointed in myself. Today I am home, I have frozen pre-prepped meals & I will be on track. Weather is bad so I’m not sure about my activity yet, but food will be on point!
Day 46 – 09/28 ……192.6…… Huge fluctuation up then back down due to water retention. Now its time to get back to work on the real fat!
Day 47 – 09/29 ……192.2…… Pleased with this today. Come on 180s!
Day 48 – 09/30 ……192.0……

CGW - 137 (Tiger)
August 14th - Start Day
Day 1 (14th): 144.4; decent day.
Day 2 (15th): 143.8; moderate day, dinner at mom's so higher in sodium than normal
Day 3 (16th): 143.8
Day 4 (17th): 144.4 ugh. hopefully a result of too much sodium. need to focus and get this weight off!
Day 5 (18th): 144.2
Day 6 (19th): 144.0
Day 7 (20th): 144.4
Day 8 (21st): 144.6
Day 9 (22nd): 147.0 this was an unpleasant surprise
Day 10 (23rd): 146.4
Day 11 (24th): 144.6
Day 12 (25th): 144.4
Day 13 (26th): 144.4
Day 14 (27th): 144.8
Day 15 (28th): 144.6
Day 16 (29th): 145.4
Day 17 (30th): 144.8
Day 18 (31st): 145.0
Weight Loss August: Up 0.6
September 1st
Day 19 (1st): 144.8
Day 20 (2nd): 143.2 - Back from traveling and ready to focus.
Day 21 (3rd): 143.6
Day 22 (4th): 143.4 - Been sick for last several days which means minimal exercise
Day 23 (5th): 143.4 - Still sick and still hanging in there. #142. Really want to make this mini goal.
Day 24 (6th): 143.0
Day 25 (7th): 143.0 - So close to 142 and it is the weekend, my traditional downfall. Need to stay strong!!!
Day 26 (8th): 142.8 - Ate healthy on Saturday and now need to make it through Sunday. I am finally getting over my illness and can start to pick up my exercise a bit too.
Day 27 (9th): 143 - Disappointing to see the scale go back up to a 3 again. Such a slow process.
Day 28 (10th): 141.8 - A pleasant surprise. Waiting for it to bounce back up
Day 29 (11th): 141.2 - Still at 141. Ate a few chips and sweets (not many) last night & made myself sick. The more pure my diet becomes, the more sensitive I become to junk food. I am of the belief we become acclimated to junk food and once we remove it, our body speaks to us. I need to listen to my body. My husband is back in town now so my diet is about to change as in sodium content so I will be curious to see how the scale adjusts. Onward!
Day 30 (12th): 141.8
Day 31 (13th): 142.2 It is Friday. Time to stay strong!!!
Day 32 (14th) 141.6
Day 33 (15th): 141.8 Time to set a new goal of the 140s. Stay strong! Reminding myself of how I want to feel in the future and how working the program 'right now' is worth it.
Day 34 (16th): 142.0 I know it is not much but still frustrating to go up. I need to be patient and hang in there. I believe I am doing everything right. I have been in this place in the past and know I need to give it time. But it is hard.
Day 35 (17th): 141.6 Back to the 141s... Need to figure out how to make this scale move.
Day 36 (18th): 141.2 Yesterday was a rough day, mentally exhausting. I am happy with myself that I stayed on track and didn't reach out for a much desired cocktail at the end of the day.
Day 37 (19th): 142.4 Have no clue why this jumped up.
Day 38 (20th): 141.6 My plateau... patience is a virtue.
Day 39 (21st): 141.0 Getting closer.... though I have a high sodium meal ahead of me so I expect to see this go up tomorrow but not due to calories.
Day 40 (22nd): 140.6 Happy to see this but I know I am likely to bounce around over the next week. Still I feel like I finally broke though which is nice.
Day 41 (23rd): 140.8 Still here in 140s. Feeling semi optimistic that the downward shift could be real. Bless my husband for listening to my reports and analysis on my weight each morning on our morning walks..
Day 42 (24th): 140.4 Weight is staying in 140s which is a good sign. Guess it is time to start focusing on next goal.
Day 43 (25th): 140.4
Day 44 (26th): 140.6
Day 45 (27th): 140.6
Day 46 (28th): 140.6
Day 47 (29th): 140.6
Day 48:(30th): 141.6 Not sure why this suddenly bounced up given that my calories have been fine. Will just keep hanging in there.

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ August 14, 2019 through November 21, 2019
My Name is Donna, Age 59. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
“What you eat in private will show up in public.” ~Unknown
Day 01 – 08/14 ……197.8……
Day 02 – 08/15 ……195.4……Whoosh! A good day yesterday. Stayed on point all around.
Day 03 – 08/16 ……196.0…… Oops. Pizza.
Day 04 – 08/17 ……196.2…… Normal fluctuation. A conservative dinner out yesterday in which I showed much restraint.
Day 05 – 08/18 ……196.0…… A bit better.
Day 06 – 08/19 ……196.0…… Backyard BBQ always stalls me.
Day 07 – 08/20 ……195.4…… A nice well-earned overnight drop.
Day 08 – 08/21 ……196.7…… So happy I found the part 2 challenge. It is exciting to do the whole thing this time. I had an increase due to DQ yesterday. My own fault & today I’ve paid for it. Good luck everyone!
Day 09 – 08/22 ……196.2…… Better. I fought the cravings last night & won.
Day 10 – 08/23 ……194.4…… WooHoo! Worked hard for this yesterday eating just 1100 calories and burning over 3200. “ Let’s just keep it up Donna,” she says to self!
Day 11 – 08/24 ……196.6…… Fish fry dinner out last night. Stayed within calories but over on carbs. No worries. Today is remedy day. Flushing sodium!
Day 12 – 08/25 ……196.4 ……s..l..o..w.. progress. But it’s a journey, right?
Day 13 – 08/26 ……193.0…… Travel Day. I hope I choose well & I don’t come home & blow the whole day bingeing just because I had a nice restaurant lunch while out of town. That’s the goal today! Scale will be up a bit tomorrow, but hopefully it will be just water retention that can be erased within 48 hours.
Day 14 – 08/27 …197.8…… After Travel Weigh-in. Nearly 5 pounds gained overnight! Much of it has to be water from the restaurant food & the late night binge I spiraled into. I’ll be working hard on flushing today & making good choices.
Day 15 – 08/28 ……195.6…… Losing some of that binge & travel weight from Monday. More to go…..
Day 16 – 08/29 ……195.4…… BBQ last night stalled me a bit, but still moving slightly down on the scale.
Day 17 – 08/30 ……193.6…… Extra low calories & carbs yesterday on purpose to shake things up! Yes to the whoosh. Today, back to my normal healthy plan & hopefully another difference (even if small) on the scale. Progress is what counts!
Day 18 – 08/31 ……192.6…… Thrilled with this but traveling today so I must keep myself in control!
Weight Loss in Auguast (18 days)……………….. 5.2 lbs
Day 19 – 09/01……192.6…… Staying level with the scale, even over a holiday weekend so far. Going to try to keep it strong!
Day 20 – 09/02 ……194.2…… I ate 885 Calories last night and gained 1.6 pounds. Wow!
Day 21 – 09/03 ……194.8…… I obviously enjoyed my Labor Day Holiday. However, body is acting weird on scale (see yesterday) so its time to shake things up!
Day 22 – 09/04 ……194.8…… Still shaking!
Day 23 – 09/05 ……194.6……slightly better thanks to bathroom duty TMI. But I really need to work harder toward the 180’s. Going on a picnic later but will be mindful & will hike along river while there to offset the meal. I want the 180’s this month. I mean, I REALLY REALLY want it!
Day 24 – 09/06 ……193.0……I really shook it up yesterday. Hiked instead of just walked and added a few carbs by having a lovely riverside picnic near the trail. Also danced for almost 20 minutes last night. Sample song, “To Love Somebody” by the Bee Gees. It wasn’t fast, but it got a great vibe & groove on and put me back in the mood to stay on my journey. Music working its magic! I hope you'll put that little 3 minute song on and be inspired today. Join me!
Day 25 – 09/07 ……193.4……A slight gain because of a very severe diabetic sugar drop late last night that forced me to eat carbs specifically laid out by my doctor’s plan for my Type 2 Diabetes. Otherwise, I had a great on point day with calories & extra exercise. Moving on.
Day 26 – 09/08 ……193.4…… Happy with this after the fresh zucchini bread from my neighbor last night!
Day 27 – 09/09 ……193.6…… Finished off the zucchini bread last night so I just barely treaded water. Back to business today!
Day 28 – 09/10 ……193.6…… Same old song & Dance. Come on September, throw me a bone!
Day 29 – 09/11 ……193.6…… I hope for a whoosh tomorrow before the travels!
Day 30 – 09/12 ……195.4…… Unexpected travel yesterday causing gain today. Now Travel & restaurant again today for an occasion. Another gain expected tomorrow due to probable water retention & lack of exercise/movement. Uggg.
Day 31 – 09/13 ……197.8…… After Travel weigh-in. Likely a lot of water retention. I’ll be working on this the next few days.
Day 32 – 09/14 ……197.4…… Still retaining traveling water from sodium filled meals & lack of movement!
Day 33 – 09/15 ……193.0…… Whoosh! There goes that water retention from the Chinese food. Now, to stay on track until the next travel day.
Day 34 – 09/16 ……191.0…… I just can’t tell you how thrilled I am. I really worked hard for this yesterday!
Day 35 – 09/17 ……190.6…… I really needed these drops these past few days. Upcoming travel again which always reeks havoc but it’s usually a temporary set-back.
Day 36 – 09/18 ……191.8…… Out of town travel with lots of car sitting & restaurant is in the day’s plan this afternoon. I ate too much (a double helping) of my “diet” pre-prepped food last night. It showed up on the scale this morning. And now travel with restaurant today. This required trip came at a bad time.
Day 37 – 09/19 ……195.0…… After travel weigh-in. Very disappointed. I practiced more restraint than normal at the restaurant. Food choices not the greatest, but quantity of food eaten much smaller than days gone by. Water retention sucks!
Day 38 – 09/20 ……193.2…… Dropping some of the water weight. More to go!
Day 39 – 09/21 ……193.0…… Every little bit counts! TMI would really help!
Day 40 – 09/22 ……193.0…… Holding steady even after a T2D glucose drop which forced me to eat a few more carbs than I’d planned. I stayed calm and did not quickly overeat (which is the instinct) and used the smarties candy method my doctor advised. It worked. I stayed on track with my diet plan without too much damage to my macros.
Day 41 – 09/23 ……193.0…… No change again.
Day 42 – 09/24 ……192.2…… That’s more like it!
Day 43 – 09/25 ……192.2…… Travel Day #1. This means less movement, restaurant food and less water, but I’ll really try to improve on all 3 today keeping my goals in mind as much as possible.
Day 44 – 09/26 ……196.6…… Travel Day #2 and after travel weigh-in. I hate the water retention after a restaurant meal! I promise I didn’t eat the 15,000 calories that are required for a true 4 ½ pound gain! Lack of movement in car doesn’t help either. I was up late just working to get in my 10,000 plus steps!
Day 45 – 09/27 ……198.0 …… After two days of travel. I’m very disappointed in myself. Today I am home, I have frozen pre-prepped meals & I will be on track. Weather is bad so I’m not sure about my activity yet, but food will be on point!
Day 46 – 09/28 ……192.6…… Huge fluctuation up then back down due to water retention. Now its time to get back to work on the real fat!
Day 47 – 09/29 ……192.2…… Pleased with this today. Come on 180s!
Day 48 – 09/30 ……192.0……
Weight Loss in September………………..0.6 lbs.
Day 49 – 10/01 ……194.2…… This is what traveling looks like on me. Not a good way to start October!

Day 32: 143.2 hopefully I can be good today and stay on track.
Day 33: 144.8 I thought I did a little better than this yesterday, but maybe it’s sodium or something.

Day 35: 146.3 Day 2 will go down by Thursday or Friday
Day 36: 145.7 Still really high, but staying on track with food and water.
Day 37: 143.7 finally a good whoosh! Now to see some downward movement on the scale
Day 38: 142.8 and another good whoosh! I am officially back to where I was a month ago, lol. Now to be strong through the weekend
Day 39: 143.7 sodium induced. We went out last night for dinner and had Chinese.

Day 41: 145.4 This is probably from the 2 restaurant meals yesterday.

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ August 14, 2019 through November 21, 2019
My Name is Donna, Age 59. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
“What you eat in private will show up in public.” ~Unknown
Day 01 – 08/14 ……197.8……
Day 02 – 08/15 ……195.4……Whoosh! A good day yesterday. Stayed on point all around.
Day 03 – 08/16 ……196.0…… Oops. Pizza.
Day 04 – 08/17 ……196.2…… Normal fluctuation. A conservative dinner out yesterday in which I showed much restraint.
Day 05 – 08/18 ……196.0…… A bit better.
Day 06 – 08/19 ……196.0…… Backyard BBQ always stalls me.
Day 07 – 08/20 ……195.4…… A nice well-earned overnight drop.
Day 08 – 08/21 ……196.7…… So happy I found the part 2 challenge. It is exciting to do the whole thing this time. I had an increase due to DQ yesterday. My own fault & today I’ve paid for it. Good luck everyone!
Day 09 – 08/22 ……196.2…… Better. I fought the cravings last night & won.
Day 10 – 08/23 ……194.4…… WooHoo! Worked hard for this yesterday eating just 1100 calories and burning over 3200. “ Let’s just keep it up Donna,” she says to self!
Day 11 – 08/24 ……196.6…… Fish fry dinner out last night. Stayed within calories but over on carbs. No worries. Today is remedy day. Flushing sodium!
Day 12 – 08/25 ……196.4 ……s..l..o..w.. progress. But it’s a journey, right?
Day 13 – 08/26 ……193.0…… Travel Day. I hope I choose well & I don’t come home & blow the whole day bingeing just because I had a nice restaurant lunch while out of town. That’s the goal today! Scale will be up a bit tomorrow, but hopefully it will be just water retention that can be erased within 48 hours.
Day 14 – 08/27 …197.8…… After Travel Weigh-in. Nearly 5 pounds gained overnight! Much of it has to be water from the restaurant food & the late night binge I spiraled into. I’ll be working hard on flushing today & making good choices.
Day 15 – 08/28 ……195.6…… Losing some of that binge & travel weight from Monday. More to go…..
Day 16 – 08/29 ……195.4…… BBQ last night stalled me a bit, but still moving slightly down on the scale.
Day 17 – 08/30 ……193.6…… Extra low calories & carbs yesterday on purpose to shake things up! Yes to the whoosh. Today, back to my normal healthy plan & hopefully another difference (even if small) on the scale. Progress is what counts!
Day 18 – 08/31 ……192.6…… Thrilled with this but traveling today so I must keep myself in control!
Weight Loss in Auguast (18 days)……………….. 5.2 lbs
Day 19 – 09/01……192.6…… Staying level with the scale, even over a holiday weekend so far. Going to try to keep it strong!
Day 20 – 09/02 ……194.2…… I ate 885 Calories last night and gained 1.6 pounds. Wow!
Day 21 – 09/03 ……194.8…… I obviously enjoyed my Labor Day Holiday. However, body is acting weird on scale (see yesterday) so its time to shake things up!
Day 22 – 09/04 ……194.8…… Still shaking!
Day 23 – 09/05 ……194.6……slightly better thanks to bathroom duty TMI. But I really need to work harder toward the 180’s. Going on a picnic later but will be mindful & will hike along river while there to offset the meal. I want the 180’s this month. I mean, I REALLY REALLY want it!
Day 24 – 09/06 ……193.0……I really shook it up yesterday. Hiked instead of just walked and added a few carbs by having a lovely riverside picnic near the trail. Also danced for almost 20 minutes last night. Sample song, “To Love Somebody” by the Bee Gees. It wasn’t fast, but it got a great vibe & groove on and put me back in the mood to stay on my journey. Music working its magic! I hope you'll put that little 3 minute song on and be inspired today. Join me!
Day 25 – 09/07 ……193.4……A slight gain because of a very severe diabetic sugar drop late last night that forced me to eat carbs specifically laid out by my doctor’s plan for my Type 2 Diabetes. Otherwise, I had a great on point day with calories & extra exercise. Moving on.
Day 26 – 09/08 ……193.4…… Happy with this after the fresh zucchini bread from my neighbor last night!
Day 27 – 09/09 ……193.6…… Finished off the zucchini bread last night so I just barely treaded water. Back to business today!
Day 28 – 09/10 ……193.6…… Same old song & Dance. Come on September, throw me a bone!
Day 29 – 09/11 ……193.6…… I hope for a whoosh tomorrow before the travels!
Day 30 – 09/12 ……195.4…… Unexpected travel yesterday causing gain today. Now Travel & restaurant again today for an occasion. Another gain expected tomorrow due to probable water retention & lack of exercise/movement. Uggg.
Day 31 – 09/13 ……197.8…… After Travel weigh-in. Likely a lot of water retention. I’ll be working on this the next few days.
Day 32 – 09/14 ……197.4…… Still retaining traveling water from sodium filled meals & lack of movement!
Day 33 – 09/15 ……193.0…… Whoosh! There goes that water retention from the Chinese food. Now, to stay on track until the next travel day.
Day 34 – 09/16 ……191.0…… I just can’t tell you how thrilled I am. I really worked hard for this yesterday!
Day 35 – 09/17 ……190.6…… I really needed these drops these past few days. Upcoming travel again which always reeks havoc but it’s usually a temporary set-back.
Day 36 – 09/18 ……191.8…… Out of town travel with lots of car sitting & restaurant is in the day’s plan this afternoon. I ate too much (a double helping) of my “diet” pre-prepped food last night. It showed up on the scale this morning. And now travel with restaurant today. This required trip came at a bad time.
Day 37 – 09/19 ……195.0…… After travel weigh-in. Very disappointed. I practiced more restraint than normal at the restaurant. Food choices not the greatest, but quantity of food eaten much smaller than days gone by. Water retention sucks!
Day 38 – 09/20 ……193.2…… Dropping some of the water weight. More to go!
Day 39 – 09/21 ……193.0…… Every little bit counts! TMI would really help!
Day 40 – 09/22 ……193.0…… Holding steady even after a T2D glucose drop which forced me to eat a few more carbs than I’d planned. I stayed calm and did not quickly overeat (which is the instinct) and used the smarties candy method my doctor advised. It worked. I stayed on track with my diet plan without too much damage to my macros.
Day 41 – 09/23 ……193.0…… No change again.
Day 42 – 09/24 ……192.2…… That’s more like it!
Day 43 – 09/25 ……192.2…… Travel Day #1. This means less movement, restaurant food and less water, but I’ll really try to improve on all 3 today keeping my goals in mind as much as possible.
Day 44 – 09/26 ……196.6…… Travel Day #2 and after travel weigh-in. I hate the water retention after a restaurant meal! I promise I didn’t eat the 15,000 calories that are required for a true 4 ½ pound gain! Lack of movement in car doesn’t help either. I was up late just working to get in my 10,000 plus steps!
Day 45 – 09/27 ……198.0 …… After two days of travel. I’m very disappointed in myself. Today I am home, I have frozen pre-prepped meals & I will be on track. Weather is bad so I’m not sure about my activity yet, but food will be on point!
Day 46 – 09/28 ……192.6…… Huge fluctuation up then back down due to water retention. Now its time to get back to work on the real fat!
Day 47 – 09/29 ……192.2…… Pleased with this today. Come on 180s!
Day 48 – 09/30 ……192.0……
Weight Loss in September………………..0.6 lbs.
Day 49 – 10/01 ……194.2…… This is what traveling looks like on me. Not a good way to start October!
Day 50 – 10/02 ……191.4…… I tackled the bloat & won the game! Now, back down to real fat loss!

Day 27 (9th): 143 - Disappointing to see the scale go back up to a 3 again. Such a slow process.
Day 28 (10th): 141.8 - A pleasant surprise. Waiting for it to bounce back up
Day 29 (11th): 141.2 - Still at 141. Ate a few chips and sweets (not many) last night & made myself sick. The more pure my diet becomes, the more sensitive I become to junk food. I am of the belief we become acclimated to junk food and once we remove it, our body speaks to us. I need to listen to my body. My husband is back in town now so my diet is about to change as in sodium content so I will be curious to see how the scale adjusts. Onward!
Day 30 (12th): 141.8
Day 31 (13th): 142.2 It is Friday. Time to stay strong!!!
Day 32 (14th) 141.6
Day 33 (15th): 141.8 Time to set a new goal of the 140s. Stay strong! Reminding myself of how I want to feel in the future and how working the program 'right now' is worth it.
Day 34 (16th): 142.0 I know it is not much but still frustrating to go up. I need to be patient and hang in there. I believe I am doing everything right. I have been in this place in the past and know I need to give it time. But it is hard.
Day 35 (17th): 141.6 Back to the 141s... Need to figure out how to make this scale move.
Day 36 (18th): 141.2 Yesterday was a rough day, mentally exhausting. I am happy with myself that I stayed on track and didn't reach out for a much desired cocktail at the end of the day.
Day 37 (19th): 142.4 Have no clue why this jumped up.
Day 38 (20th): 141.6 My plateau... patience is a virtue.
Day 39 (21st): 141.0 Getting closer.... though I have a high sodium meal ahead of me so I expect to see this go up tomorrow but not due to calories.
Day 40 (22nd): 140.6 Happy to see this but I know I am likely to bounce around over the next week. Still I feel like I finally broke though which is nice.
Day 41 (23rd): 140.8 Still here in 140s. Feeling semi optimistic that the downward shift could be real. Bless my husband for listening to my reports and analysis on my weight each morning on our morning walks..
Day 42 (24th): 140.4 Weight is staying in 140s which is a good sign. Guess it is time to start focusing on next goal.
Day 43 (25th): 140.4
Day 44 (26th): 140.6
Day 45 (27th): 140.6
Day 46 (28th): 140.6
Day 47 (29th): 140.6
Day 48:(30th): 141.6 Not sure why this suddenly bounced up given that my calories have been fine. Will just keep hanging in there.
Weight Loss Sept: Down 3.2
October 1st
Day 49 (1st): 141.0
Day 50 (2nd): 141.6 I honestly feel I am following program but my weight has decided to go up and not down. Each day I "expect" a drop and am surprised by the gain. No sure what to make of it except to toughen up mentally and keep at it. I am more or less at or very close to a decent weight for my height so it may be nature's way of refusing to go much lower. I was a few pounds lower in 2017 so I feel like it should be possible. Interesting... Day 50. Half way point!!! Well I guess I keep going and see where the next 50 days take me!!!

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ August 14, 2019 through November 21, 2019
My Name is Donna, Age 59. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
“What you eat in private will show up in public.” ~Unknown
Day 01 – 08/14 ……197.8……
Day 02 – 08/15 ……195.4……Whoosh! A good day yesterday. Stayed on point all around.
Day 03 – 08/16 ……196.0…… Oops. Pizza.
Day 04 – 08/17 ……196.2…… Normal fluctuation. A conservative dinner out yesterday in which I showed much restraint.
Day 05 – 08/18 ……196.0…… A bit better.
Day 06 – 08/19 ……196.0…… Backyard BBQ always stalls me.
Day 07 – 08/20 ……195.4…… A nice well-earned overnight drop.
Day 08 – 08/21 ……196.7…… So happy I found the part 2 challenge. It is exciting to do the whole thing this time. I had an increase due to DQ yesterday. My own fault & today I’ve paid for it. Good luck everyone!
Day 09 – 08/22 ……196.2…… Better. I fought the cravings last night & won.
Day 10 – 08/23 ……194.4…… WooHoo! Worked hard for this yesterday eating just 1100 calories and burning over 3200. “ Let’s just keep it up Donna,” she says to self!
Day 11 – 08/24 ……196.6…… Fish fry dinner out last night. Stayed within calories but over on carbs. No worries. Today is remedy day. Flushing sodium!
Day 12 – 08/25 ……196.4 ……s..l..o..w.. progress. But it’s a journey, right?
Day 13 – 08/26 ……193.0…… Travel Day. I hope I choose well & I don’t come home & blow the whole day bingeing just because I had a nice restaurant lunch while out of town. That’s the goal today! Scale will be up a bit tomorrow, but hopefully it will be just water retention that can be erased within 48 hours.
Day 14 – 08/27 …197.8…… After Travel Weigh-in. Nearly 5 pounds gained overnight! Much of it has to be water from the restaurant food & the late night binge I spiraled into. I’ll be working hard on flushing today & making good choices.
Day 15 – 08/28 ……195.6…… Losing some of that binge & travel weight from Monday. More to go…..
Day 16 – 08/29 ……195.4…… BBQ last night stalled me a bit, but still moving slightly down on the scale.
Day 17 – 08/30 ……193.6…… Extra low calories & carbs yesterday on purpose to shake things up! Yes to the whoosh. Today, back to my normal healthy plan & hopefully another difference (even if small) on the scale. Progress is what counts!
Day 18 – 08/31 ……192.6…… Thrilled with this but traveling today so I must keep myself in control!
Weight Loss in Auguast (18 days)……………….. 5.2 lbs
Day 19 – 09/01……192.6…… Staying level with the scale, even over a holiday weekend so far. Going to try to keep it strong!
Day 20 – 09/02 ……194.2…… I ate 885 Calories last night and gained 1.6 pounds. Wow!
Day 21 – 09/03 ……194.8…… I obviously enjoyed my Labor Day Holiday. However, body is acting weird on scale (see yesterday) so its time to shake things up!
Day 22 – 09/04 ……194.8…… Still shaking!
Day 23 – 09/05 ……194.6……slightly better thanks to bathroom duty TMI. But I really need to work harder toward the 180’s. Going on a picnic later but will be mindful & will hike along river while there to offset the meal. I want the 180’s this month. I mean, I REALLY REALLY want it!
Day 24 – 09/06 ……193.0……I really shook it up yesterday. Hiked instead of just walked and added a few carbs by having a lovely riverside picnic near the trail. Also danced for almost 20 minutes last night. Sample song, “To Love Somebody” by the Bee Gees. It wasn’t fast, but it got a great vibe & groove on and put me back in the mood to stay on my journey. Music working its magic! I hope you'll put that little 3 minute song on and be inspired today. Join me!
Day 25 – 09/07 ……193.4……A slight gain because of a very severe diabetic sugar drop late last night that forced me to eat carbs specifically laid out by my doctor’s plan for my Type 2 Diabetes. Otherwise, I had a great on point day with calories & extra exercise. Moving on.
Day 26 – 09/08 ……193.4…… Happy with this after the fresh zucchini bread from my neighbor last night!
Day 27 – 09/09 ……193.6…… Finished off the zucchini bread last night so I just barely treaded water. Back to business today!
Day 28 – 09/10 ……193.6…… Same old song & Dance. Come on September, throw me a bone!
Day 29 – 09/11 ……193.6…… I hope for a whoosh tomorrow before the travels!
Day 30 – 09/12 ……195.4…… Unexpected travel yesterday causing gain today. Now Travel & restaurant again today for an occasion. Another gain expected tomorrow due to probable water retention & lack of exercise/movement. Uggg.
Day 31 – 09/13 ……197.8…… After Travel weigh-in. Likely a lot of water retention. I’ll be working on this the next few days.
Day 32 – 09/14 ……197.4…… Still retaining traveling water from sodium filled meals & lack of movement!
Day 33 – 09/15 ……193.0…… Whoosh! There goes that water retention from the Chinese food. Now, to stay on track until the next travel day.
Day 34 – 09/16 ……191.0…… I just can’t tell you how thrilled I am. I really worked hard for this yesterday!
Day 35 – 09/17 ……190.6…… I really needed these drops these past few days. Upcoming travel again which always reeks havoc but it’s usually a temporary set-back.
Day 36 – 09/18 ……191.8…… Out of town travel with lots of car sitting & restaurant is in the day’s plan this afternoon. I ate too much (a double helping) of my “diet” pre-prepped food last night. It showed up on the scale this morning. And now travel with restaurant today. This required trip came at a bad time.
Day 37 – 09/19 ……195.0…… After travel weigh-in. Very disappointed. I practiced more restraint than normal at the restaurant. Food choices not the greatest, but quantity of food eaten much smaller than days gone by. Water retention sucks!
Day 38 – 09/20 ……193.2…… Dropping some of the water weight. More to go!
Day 39 – 09/21 ……193.0…… Every little bit counts! TMI would really help!
Day 40 – 09/22 ……193.0…… Holding steady even after a T2D glucose drop which forced me to eat a few more carbs than I’d planned. I stayed calm and did not quickly overeat (which is the instinct) and used the smarties candy method my doctor advised. It worked. I stayed on track with my diet plan without too much damage to my macros.
Day 41 – 09/23 ……193.0…… No change again.
Day 42 – 09/24 ……192.2…… That’s more like it!
Day 43 – 09/25 ……192.2…… Travel Day #1. This means less movement, restaurant food and less water, but I’ll really try to improve on all 3 today keeping my goals in mind as much as possible.
Day 44 – 09/26 ……196.6…… Travel Day #2 and after travel weigh-in. I hate the water retention after a restaurant meal! I promise I didn’t eat the 15,000 calories that are required for a true 4 ½ pound gain! Lack of movement in car doesn’t help either. I was up late just working to get in my 10,000 plus steps!
Day 45 – 09/27 ……198.0 …… After two days of travel. I’m very disappointed in myself. Today I am home, I have frozen pre-prepped meals & I will be on track. Weather is bad so I’m not sure about my activity yet, but food will be on point!

Couldn't sleep last night so got up at 3 and went on a cleaning spree. I was 126 on the scale with clothes and loaded with fluids, so i estimated. I was chugging glass after glass of water - I was taking out my frustrations on anything than needed to be scrubbed, so I was dripping sweat. Felt good - I really have not done much exercise, and that needs to change.4 -

Day 3 (16th): 143.8
Day 4 (17th): 144.4 ugh. hopefully a result of too much sodium. need to focus and get this weight off!
Day 5 (18th): 144.2
Day 6 (19th): 144.0
Day 7 (20th): 144.4

Weight Loss August: Up 0.6
September 1st
Day 19 (1st): 144.8
Day 20 (2nd): 143.2 - Back from traveling and ready to focus.
Day 21 (3rd): 143.6
Day 22 (4th): 143.4 - Been sick for last several days which means minimal exercise
Day 23 (5th): 143.4 - Still sick and still hanging in there. #142. Really want to make this mini goal.
Day 24 (6th): 143.0
Day 25 (7th): 143.0 - So close to 142 and it is the weekend, my traditional downfall. Need to stay strong!!!
Day 26 (8th): 142.8 - Ate healthy on Saturday and now need to make it through Sunday. I am finally getting over my illness and can start to pick up my exercise a bit too.
Day 27 (9th): 143 - Disappointing to see the scale go back up to a 3 again. Such a slow process.
Day 28 (10th): 141.8 - A pleasant surprise. Waiting for it to bounce back up
Day 29 (11th): 141.2 - Still at 141. Ate a few chips and sweets (not many) last night & made myself sick. The more pure my diet becomes, the more sensitive I become to junk food. I am of the belief we become acclimated to junk food and once we remove it, our body speaks to us. I need to listen to my body. My husband is back in town now so my diet is about to change as in sodium content so I will be curious to see how the scale adjusts. Onward!
Day 30 (12th): 141.8
Day 31 (13th): 142.2 It is Friday. Time to stay strong!!!
Day 32 (14th) 141.6
Day 33 (15th): 141.8 Time to set a new goal of the 140s. Stay strong! Reminding myself of how I want to feel in the future and how working the program 'right now' is worth it.
Day 34 (16th): 142.0 I know it is not much but still frustrating to go up. I need to be patient and hang in there. I believe I am doing everything right. I have been in this place in the past and know I need to give it time. But it is hard.
Day 35 (17th): 141.6 Back to the 141s... Need to figure out how to make this scale move.
Day 36 (18th): 141.2 Yesterday was a rough day, mentally exhausting. I am happy with myself that I stayed on track and didn't reach out for a much desired cocktail at the end of the day.
Day 37 (19th): 142.4 Have no clue why this jumped up.
Day 38 (20th): 141.6 My plateau... patience is a virtue.
Day 39 (21st): 141.0 Getting closer.... though I have a high sodium meal ahead of me so I expect to see this go up tomorrow but not due to calories.
Day 40 (22nd): 140.6 Happy to see this but I know I am likely to bounce around over the next week. Still I feel like I finally broke though which is nice.
Day 41 (23rd): 140.8 Still here in 140s. Feeling semi optimistic that the downward shift could be real. Bless my husband for listening to my reports and analysis on my weight each morning on our morning walks..
Day 42 (24th): 140.4 Weight is staying in 140s which is a good sign. Guess it is time to start focusing on next goal.
Day 43 (25th): 140.4
Day 44 (26th): 140.6
Day 45 (27th): 140.6
Day 46 (28th): 140.6
Day 47 (29th): 140.6
Day 48:(30th): 141.6 Not sure why this suddenly bounced up given that my calories have been fine. Will just keep hanging in there.
Weight Loss Sept: Down 3.2
October 1st
Day 49 (1st): 141.0
Day 50 (2nd): 141.6 I honestly feel I am following program but my weight has decided to go up and not down. Each day I "expect" a drop and am surprised by the gain. No sure what to make of it except to toughen up mentally and keep at it. I am more or less at or very close to a decent weight for my height so it may be nature's way of refusing to go much lower. I was a few pounds lower in 2017 so I feel like it should be possible. Interesting... Day 50. Half way point!!! Well I guess I keep going and see where the next 50 days take me!!!
Day 51 (3rd): 140.6 ... I need the smiley face with the 'eye roll'

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ August 14, 2019 through November 21, 2019
My Name is Donna, Age 59. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
“What you eat in private will show up in public.” ~Unknown
Day 01 – 08/14 ……197.8……
Day 02 – 08/15 ……195.4……Whoosh! A good day yesterday. Stayed on point all around.
Day 03 – 08/16 ……196.0…… Oops. Pizza.
Day 04 – 08/17 ……196.2…… Normal fluctuation. A conservative dinner out yesterday in which I showed much restraint.
Day 05 – 08/18 ……196.0…… A bit better.
Day 06 – 08/19 ……196.0…… Backyard BBQ always stalls me.
Day 07 – 08/20 ……195.4…… A nice well-earned overnight drop.
Day 08 – 08/21 ……196.7…… So happy I found the part 2 challenge. It is exciting to do the whole thing this time. I had an increase due to DQ yesterday. My own fault & today I’ve paid for it. Good luck everyone!
Day 09 – 08/22 ……196.2…… Better. I fought the cravings last night & won.
Day 10 – 08/23 ……194.4…… WooHoo! Worked hard for this yesterday eating just 1100 calories and burning over 3200. “ Let’s just keep it up Donna,” she says to self!
Day 11 – 08/24 ……196.6…… Fish fry dinner out last night. Stayed within calories but over on carbs. No worries. Today is remedy day. Flushing sodium!
Day 12 – 08/25 ……196.4 ……s..l..o..w.. progress. But it’s a journey, right?
Day 13 – 08/26 ……193.0…… Travel Day. I hope I choose well & I don’t come home & blow the whole day bingeing just because I had a nice restaurant lunch while out of town. That’s the goal today! Scale will be up a bit tomorrow, but hopefully it will be just water retention that can be erased within 48 hours.
Day 14 – 08/27 …197.8…… After Travel Weigh-in. Nearly 5 pounds gained overnight! Much of it has to be water from the restaurant food & the late night binge I spiraled into. I’ll be working hard on flushing today & making good choices.
Day 15 – 08/28 ……195.6…… Losing some of that binge & travel weight from Monday. More to go…..
Day 16 – 08/29 ……195.4…… BBQ last night stalled me a bit, but still moving slightly down on the scale.
Day 17 – 08/30 ……193.6…… Extra low calories & carbs yesterday on purpose to shake things up! Yes to the whoosh. Today, back to my normal healthy plan & hopefully another difference (even if small) on the scale. Progress is what counts!
Day 18 – 08/31 ……192.6…… Thrilled with this but traveling today so I must keep myself in control!
Weight Loss in Auguast (18 days)……………….. 5.2 lbs
Day 19 – 09/01……192.6…… Staying level with the scale, even over a holiday weekend so far. Going to try to keep it strong!
Day 20 – 09/02 ……194.2…… I ate 885 Calories last night and gained 1.6 pounds. Wow!
Day 21 – 09/03 ……194.8…… I obviously enjoyed my Labor Day Holiday. However, body is acting weird on scale (see yesterday) so its time to shake things up!
Day 22 – 09/04 ……194.8…… Still shaking!
Day 23 – 09/05 ……194.6……slightly better thanks to bathroom duty TMI. But I really need to work harder toward the 180’s. Going on a picnic later but will be mindful & will hike along river while there to offset the meal. I want the 180’s this month. I mean, I REALLY REALLY want it!
Day 24 – 09/06 ……193.0……I really shook it up yesterday. Hiked instead of just walked and added a few carbs by having a lovely riverside picnic near the trail. Also danced for almost 20 minutes last night. Sample song, “To Love Somebody” by the Bee Gees. It wasn’t fast, but it got a great vibe & groove on and put me back in the mood to stay on my journey. Music working its magic! I hope you'll put that little 3 minute song on and be inspired today. Join me!
Day 25 – 09/07 ……193.4……A slight gain because of a very severe diabetic sugar drop late last night that forced me to eat carbs specifically laid out by my doctor’s plan for my Type 2 Diabetes. Otherwise, I had a great on point day with calories & extra exercise. Moving on.
Day 26 – 09/08 ……193.4…… Happy with this after the fresh zucchini bread from my neighbor last night!
Day 27 – 09/09 ……193.6…… Finished off the zucchini bread last night so I just barely treaded water. Back to business today!
Day 28 – 09/10 ……193.6…… Same old song & Dance. Come on September, throw me a bone!
Day 29 – 09/11 ……193.6…… I hope for a whoosh tomorrow before the travels!
Day 30 – 09/12 ……195.4…… Unexpected travel yesterday causing gain today. Now Travel & restaurant again today for an occasion. Another gain expected tomorrow due to probable water retention & lack of exercise/movement. Uggg.
Day 31 – 09/13 ……197.8…… After Travel weigh-in. Likely a lot of water retention. I’ll be working on this the next few days.
Day 32 – 09/14 ……197.4…… Still retaining traveling water from sodium filled meals & lack of movement!
Day 33 – 09/15 ……193.0…… Whoosh! There goes that water retention from the Chinese food. Now, to stay on track until the next travel day.
Day 34 – 09/16 ……191.0…… I just can’t tell you how thrilled I am. I really worked hard for this yesterday!
Day 35 – 09/17 ……190.6…… I really needed these drops these past few days. Upcoming travel again which always reeks havoc but it’s usually a temporary set-back.
Day 36 – 09/18 ……191.8…… Out of town travel with lots of car sitting & restaurant is in the day’s plan this afternoon. I ate too much (a double helping) of my “diet” pre-prepped food last night. It showed up on the scale this morning. And now travel with restaurant today. This required trip came at a bad time.
Day 37 – 09/19 ……195.0…… After travel weigh-in. Very disappointed. I practiced more restraint than normal at the restaurant. Food choices not the greatest, but quantity of food eaten much smaller than days gone by. Water retention sucks!
Day 38 – 09/20 ……193.2…… Dropping some of the water weight. More to go!
Day 39 – 09/21 ……193.0…… Every little bit counts! TMI would really help!
Day 40 – 09/22 ……193.0…… Holding steady even after a T2D glucose drop which forced me to eat a few more carbs than I’d planned. I stayed calm and did not quickly overeat (which is the instinct) and used the smarties candy method my doctor advised. It worked. I stayed on track with my diet plan without too much damage to my macros.
Day 41 – 09/23 ……193.0…… No change again.
Day 42 – 09/24 ……192.2…… That’s more like it!
Day 43 – 09/25 ……192.2…… Travel Day #1. This means less movement, restaurant food and less water, but I’ll really try to improve on all 3 today keeping my goals in mind as much as possible.
Day 44 – 09/26 ……196.6…… Travel Day #2 and after travel weigh-in. I hate the water retention after a restaurant meal! I promise I didn’t eat the 15,000 calories that are required for a true 4 ½ pound gain! Lack of movement in car doesn’t help either. I was up late just working to get in my 10,000 plus steps!
Day 45 – 09/27 ……198.0 …… After two days of travel. I’m very disappointed in myself. Today I am home, I have frozen pre-prepped meals & I will be on track. Weather is bad so I’m not sure about my activity yet, but food will be on point!
Day 46 – 09/28 ……192.6…… Huge fluctuation up then back down due to water retention. Now its time to get back to work on the real fat!
Day 47 – 09/29 ……192.2…… Pleased with this today. Come on 180s!
Day 48 – 09/30 ……192.0……
Weight Loss in September………………..0.6 lbs.
Day 49 – 10/01 ……194.2…… This is what traveling looks like on me. Not a good way to start October!
Day 50 – 10/02 ……191.4…… I tackled the bloat & won the game! Now, back down to real fat loss!
Day 51 – 10/03 ……191.6…… A normal fluctuation. Ate on plan. Exercised as planned with a 3 mile walk. Under calorie. Good Carb Count. Calories burned 3093. Over 18,000 steps & nearly 8 miles walked yesterday. Progressing well.
Day 52 – 10/04 ……191.4…… A good day overall. Dinner at neighbors forced me to make good judgments (home is safer) but I did pretty well.
