I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
My name is Dawn. 60 year old female
I live in South East British Columbia Canada
MFP start date October 28.18 - SW 191
Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

My previous 3 rounds:
The 1st one:
Nov 22.19 ending February 29.20 – Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7
The 2nd one:
March 01 - June 08.20 Start weight 154.4 EW 151.7 Total loss over 100 days 2.7 pounds
The 3rd one:
June 09 - September 16th Start weight 151.2 EW 142.3 Total loss over 100 days 8.9 pounds
3 rounds of 100 days each total results = 15.3 pounds lost

I started tracking my excess calories each day last round, those in the Green at the end of the tracking day. My results (based on 1200 calories per day) from 100 days were 78,627 - which over 100 days should lead to 7.86 pound loss, and I actually lost 8.9, so pretty good.

Day 1: Thurs, 9/17: 141.7 - I expect to get a lot of activity on my trip, but today is a driving day so I will have a nice workout before I leave. 919 in the green

Day 4: Sun 9/20 - 141.0 - My 60th birthday weight


Day 81: Sun, 12/6: 139.2 - 463 in the Green
Day 82: Mon, 12/7: 139.9 - I have been "good" hoping to see a drop soon. 681 in the Green
Day 83: Tues, 12/8: 139.5 - Staying on track.
Day 84: Wed, 12/9:
Day 85: Thurs, 12/10:
Day 86: Fri, 12/11:
Day 87: Sat, 12/12:

13th Week Goal Weight: 137.7 - This would represent a 4 pound loss in 87 days if I can get there

“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou


STARTING WEIGHT: 211.3

Day 01 – 09/17 ….210.8…..Very Pleased. This is a nice way to start! Good luck everyone!
Day 02 – 09/18 ....210.6….. Happy Dance!
Day 03 – 09/19 ….211.2….. canned soup with crackers. Too much sodium but had no time to cook yesterday.
Day 04 – 09/20 ….210.8….. Better!
Day 05 - 09/21 …..211.0….. not a bad little increase after movie night with son and some pizza.
Day 06 – 09/22 …..210.8….. Traveled today so tomorrow will be pitiful. Going to get very diligent to knock it back into the atmosphere. No extra fat allowed to hang around here. Time to go!
Day 07 – 09/23 …..212.0….. After travel. I will work on this today.
Day 08 – 09/24 …..210.8….. Traveled again but kept it to one meal and a small snack and I was rewarded!
Day 09 – 09/25 …..211.6….. I hate gaining when there is no apparent reason why. Yesterday was a pretty good day. However, there was not much movement due to all the special meetings I had. So today I will focus on more movement and cautiously go to the grocery store for more water (which is a little scary on a Friday in this small tourist town). Hydration may be key today. Flush, flush, flush.
Day 10 – 09/26 …..211.4…..
Day 11 – 09/27 …..211.2….. I am not getting where I want to be in a very healthy way. Even with the scale going down I am not super happy. I know I avoided meals yesterday and just ate too much junk. It may have been lower calories overall and it may have caused a decrease on the scale but it is all about healthy and sustainable. I vow to have a better day today. One day at a time, right?
Day 12 – 09/28 …..209.8…..Yay!!! Better meals, a bit better movement. I just gotta watch those bad snacks!
Day 13 – 09/29 …..210.0….. Just a simple fluctuation. I had a very well-balanced day yesterday. Low cal for sure.
Day 14 – 09/30 …..211.0….. Chinese food yesterday with leftovers today. Still down a tad from the start.
Weight Loss in September……………….. 0.3 lb LOSS
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..0.3 Loss


Day 15 – 10/01 …..211.0…..I finished the last of the Chinese food. Now time for healthier and less sodium!
Day 16 – 10/02 …..209.0….. Whoosh! Practiced some IF yesterday and tried to keep the calories low (AS THEY SHOULD BE) . I hope today will be another good day!
Day 17 - 10/03 …..210.4….. I salted my low sodium veggie soup because it tasted sweet and then I cheated with some dessert when I could have just had the soup and called IT dessert! Lesson learned. However, I am still down 1.6 in the last 10 days which is better than I’ve done in awhile so I will try to keep up the momentum. I am hydrating a lot today to offset any bloat.
Day 18 – 10/04 …..210.0….. Going back down, even with challenges. #nevergiveup
Day 19 – 10/05 …..211.6….. I ate healthy yesterday but dinner was not until 11:00 pm (busy day). Lots of steps also so this is a shock! No TMI this morning so that doesn’t help. Very disappointing but not disrupting. Staying on track today.
Day 20 – 10/06 …..209.4….. Whoosh!
Day 21 – 10/07 …..209.6….. A good day yesterday so this is likely a normal fluctuation.
Day 22 – 10/08 …..209.8….. Another good day. The slight fluctuation must be from no TMI (potty) x 2 days. Otherwise, all is well. Good choices are being made. Not too much movement due to a pretty yucky foot injury but otherwise, all is well.
Day 23 – 10/09 …..209.6…..Slightly better but my snacks were cheats last night. Working to stop the midnight madness!
Day 24 – 10/10 …..210.0…..Fish fry last night. Today I will be extra careful. I am going to go look at Dawn’s videos right now. Pretty exited!
Day 25 – 10/11 …..209.2….. Yay!
Day 26 – 10/12 …..208.6….. Artificially low? We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Day 27 – 10/13 …..208.6….. I see I posted my stats yesterday on the wrong challenge. I guess I was just excited! I traveled today so I am afraid of tomorrow’s numbers, but I will try to stay positive and tackle whatever mean ol’ number that scale may bring.
Day 28 – 10/14 …..209.2….. I’m actually quite pleased with this. Sometimes carbs pack on 2-3 pounds from one travel meal! As a diabetic, I always eat when traveling. I am sure I will always choose those lovely foods not available in my little home town. However, changing habits in some way IS good so I am trying to resign myself to smaller portions. Also a lighter calorie/carb day the day after. No need to keep the extra ounces (on my hips) right?
Day 29 – 10/15 …..208.4….. God is Good and He has always had my back. Today is the first step in some life-changing things I have been working on. It puts me one step closer to where I need to be in my personal and professional life. I hope everyone will smile with (and for) me today. As far as my weight goes, I am not counting every carb and calorie again, just yet, but I am tweaking and making some important changes on this particular path of my journey. When all my resolutions are here, I will be able to focus again. It will be before Christmas I hope. Thanks to everyone for their continued support. Down almost a whole pound overnight and a bit lower than my pre-travel weight! I am estatic!
Day 30 – 10/16 …..208.2….. I’ll take it!
Day 31 – 10/17 …..207.6….. I am trying to make a better difference everyday in my diet, movement and attitude. I’m not 100% yet, some personal things continue to hold me back in time and energy, but I’m on my way!
Day 32 – 10/18 …..208.2….. I was very careful and got in some extra movement. I did have garlic bread (2 slices) so I guess I deserve this. I am still carefully watching portions (otherwise).
Day 33 – 10/19 …..207.4….. I enjoyed a new Deep Dish Pizza place in my little rural town. It was very good. I ate ½ of what I would normally eat and saved the rest for my dinner. No snacks at TV time to make up for the carbs/calories. It really helped and my weight has moved down! I will make today a great day!
Day 34 – 10/20 …..207.0…..I made a few bad choices but stopped temptation in it’s tracks and made the actual decision to make better one’s for the rest of the day. So glad I did!
Day 35 – 10/21 …..206.2….. I’m actually patting myself on the back today. So proud I have continued my changes. Yesterday I danced to one song on my Alexa and I did one Fitness Marshall (Sour Candy) with Lady Gaga. It felt like a 20 minute workout so I am out of shape but it was fun. I always love watching him!
Day 36 – 10/22 …..207.6…..Well that Sux! I guess grilled cheese & tomato soup is off the menu in the near future! Having chili-dogs at a local bar/restaurant today with a friend. I will have to work my whole dietary day around the pre-planned lunch. I need more movement and water today too.
Day 37 – 10/23 …..206.8….. I could have done without the French silk pie, or could I? Still trending down so I must be diligent!
Day 38 – 10/24 …..207.8….. Lucky Charms for dinner is a no-no.
Day 39 – 10/25 …..208.2…..A horrid day of grab & go eating. In fact it has been that way for the past few days. I MUST find time to cook but its pretty hard to do when most of my time lately has been away from home on projects. Tomorrow I travel far & wide to pick up my car from transmission shop downstate. I won’t be home until late evening. More weight!
Day 40 – 10/26 …..208.2….. Feeling like a loser right now without losing.
Day 41 – 10/27 …..210.4….. After travel weight. Fall is trying to get to me again with the pre-snow (bad roads) travel rush and with the warm & toasty comfort food. Too cold to walk and all that jazz. Knowledge is power! Today will be a good day.
Day 42 – 10/28 …..209.2….. Working it back down again. Cha-Cha!
Day 43 – 10/29 …..207.9….. I don’t think I entirely deserve the nice drop on the scale but I’m grateful. Skipped breakfast with a fast, very low cal lunch. We won’t talk about the rest.
Day 44 – 10/30 …..208.4….. I woke up in the middle of the night and ate a tremendously large meal before going back to sleep. I was starving! Very unusual. Early morning weigh-in afterward.
Day 45 – 10/31 …..208.4…..

Weight Loss in October……………….. 2.6 lbs Lost
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..2.9 lbs LOST so far Total


Day 46 – 11/01 …..207.4….. Even after sneaking some Haloween Candy so I am very happy with this. A very light dinner helped.
Day 47 – 11/02 …..208.6….. I ate 3 meals yesterday. They were pretty healthy but I usually only eat two and a snack at night with TV so I know it was higher calories than typical.
Day 48 – 11/03 …..207.6….. What a roller-coaster ride this is!
Day 49 – 11/04 …..?????….. I actually forgot to weigh today before the coffee. Yesterday was an above-average day so the scale would probably have smiled a little bit on me.
Day 50 – 11/05 …..206.6….. At the halfway mark in the challenge and feeling very happy with my progress. Will this 206 hold? Stay tuned.

******************************HALFWAY MARK**************************

Day 51 – 11/06 …..205.2….. Yay! I’m going to keep this train going and plan my meals carefully today!
Day 52 – 11/07 …..205.2.….. Blood sugar drop last night really did me in. I tried to be more in control of the situation but it still requires sugar and carbs to fix very quickly. I managed to bring it back up without being totally ridiculous. Thankful for that. I will plan more carefully today and avoid that situation tonight, I hope.
Day 53 – 11/08 ……206.0…..Must have been hidden high sodium. My menu wasn’t bad yesterday and my movement was increased.
Day 54 – 11/09 ….206.2….. More salty food. Today is a very big day in my life. I will have little control of anything but I will do my best.
Day 55 – 11/10 …..207.0….. Pizza & icecream during a celebration. Kicking my own butt today.
Day 56 – 11/11 …..207.4….. Reading my posts from various challenges, I think I’ve found a pattern of self-destruction. Every time I have a glucose drop (very scary) I end up eating high carb or sugary things at night which I believe sub-consciensly (spelled wrong) caused me to eat wrong and too much at night to avoid an episode. I am going to work around this but it won’t be easy. That survival instinct we have as humans is very strong and hard to manipulate.
Day 72 – 11/12 …..207.4….. Same
Day 58 – 11/13 ……207.6….. You CAN overeat healthy low cal foods. I was STARVING yesterday. Woke up STARVING again today. I hope for a better day but I am trying to pay attention to my body's cues to avoid sugar drops. Fear changes things and it's a hill I climb sometimes in my journey. Figuring it out.
Day 59 – 11/14 …..210.0…..A neighbor brought me a Chinese Dinner yesterday from out of town. Half for lunch. Half for dinner. I thought he was my friend. : /
Day 60 – 11/15 …..208.6….. I was careful yesterday due to some bloat and it helped. I will stay diligent today. I am proud that I turned down icecream when everyone else had it. I had a glass of cold water instead.
Day 61 – 11/16 …..207.2….I am still working down the bloat. Michigan is closing down restaurants starting Tuesday night/Wednesday morning at midnight. I see restaurants in my day for tomorrow and Tuesday for me and my son. Just like last time, nearly all of our very few restaurants in this very small town will completely close, even if carry out is allowed. Carry out only is just not enough to sustain small town places. I will try to be mindful but I think Pizza will be one choice and that is usually not good. So, my plan is to watch the quantities. I will survive and overcome any damage.
Day 62 – 11/17 …..209.0….. This is making me crazy. I know I need more water. Hardly shedding any at all and that is very unusual for a diabetic!
Day 63 – 11/18 …..209.0….. Bad choices on the run with my busy life right now. I can’t wait for things to improve!
Day 64 – 11/19 …..208.4….. Finally losing some water weight. I can’t wait to actually get to the fat!
Day 65 – 11/20 …..208.4……Final moving day. Handing over the keys to my home and two businesses. I will be very busy unpacking over the next couple of weeks. I will not be able to focus on my diet so much, but I should be able to get in lots of movement!
Day 66 – 11/21 .….208.4……
Day 67 – 11/22 …..208.1…… Finally got internet straightened out in new home!
Day 68 – 11/23 …..207.2…… Thankful for the drop. Traveling today for a new hot water heater. I will be careful with the carry-out at the restaurant but I will expect some water retention tomorrow.
Day 69 – 11/24 …..207.2…… Shocked there is no after travel major damage.
Day 70 – 11/25 …..206.2…… Burning it off. Diet just so-so.
Day 71 – 11/26 …..206..6…… Frustrating!
Day 72 – 11/27 …..207.6…… Not too bad after a Thanksgiving meal in the new house. Our view was unpacked boxes, but the meal was delicious. I can’t believe I pulled the kitchen together (just) enough to cook and bake! My son & I have so much to be grateful for this year so this was an important event for us.
Day 73 – 11/28 …..206.4…… I’m very happy with this post-Thanksgiving weight as it goes back down. I will be adding 20 minutes of general dancing and/or Fitness Marshall to my routine starting soon!
Day 74 – 11/29 …..xxxxx…… I actually forgot to weigh today. Wrapped and prepped for my DGS birthday party who turned 3. It was handled in a Covid-safe way. Cake & icecream that I couldn’t say no to, so hopefully not too much damage tomorrow.
Day 75 – 11/30 …..207.2…… Back on track today. Those after-holiday late night cravings got to me last night. I realized after eating that I could easily have eaten much much less. Sometimes I fill my plate with the “old amounts” out of habit. I’ll have to watch that!

Weight Loss in November……………….. 1.2 Lbs Lost.
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..4.1 lbs Lost Total. Very Grateful.



Day 76 – 12/01 …..207.6…… No TMI for 2 days now which I know is affecting the scale.
Day 77 – 12/02 …..206..8…… I credit the bathroom activity. Diet could have been worse but could have been better too.
Day 78 – 12/03 …..206.2…… I’m liking this!
Day 79 – 12/04 …..203.6…… I hate to be graphic, but I peed so much during the night that I think this may strictly be fluid loss. When rehydrated, what will I actually weigh? We shall see…..
Day 80 – 12/05 …..203.8…… Rehydrating after a big drop due to fluid loss. Getting in a little dancing on my Alexa.
Day 81 – 12/06 …..203.4……The 203’s are for real????? Pleased as punch here.
Day 82 – 12/07 …..202.6…… I tested it and it’s true. I just don’t need that many crackers in my soup! Keeping the calories lower and working hard at continued unpacking, wrapping presents and decorating too.
Day 83 – 12/08 …..203.4…… A bit up today so I will buckle down!

My Name is Donna, Age 60. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA





“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou


STARTING WEIGHT: 211.3

Day 01 – 09/17 ….210.8…..Very Pleased. This is a nice way to start! Good luck everyone!
Day 02 – 09/18 ....210.6….. Happy Dance!
Day 03 – 09/19 ….211.2….. canned soup with crackers. Too much sodium but had no time to cook yesterday.
Day 04 – 09/20 ….210.8….. Better!
Day 05 - 09/21 …..211.0….. not a bad little increase after movie night with son and some pizza.
Day 06 – 09/22 …..210.8….. Traveled today so tomorrow will be pitiful. Going to get very diligent to knock it back into the atmosphere. No extra fat allowed to hang around here. Time to go!
Day 07 – 09/23 …..212.0….. After travel. I will work on this today.
Day 08 – 09/24 …..210.8….. Traveled again but kept it to one meal and a small snack and I was rewarded!
Day 09 – 09/25 …..211.6….. I hate gaining when there is no apparent reason why. Yesterday was a pretty good day. However, there was not much movement due to all the special meetings I had. So today I will focus on more movement and cautiously go to the grocery store for more water (which is a little scary on a Friday in this small tourist town). Hydration may be key today. Flush, flush, flush.
Day 10 – 09/26 …..211.4…..
Day 11 – 09/27 …..211.2….. I am not getting where I want to be in a very healthy way. Even with the scale going down I am not super happy. I know I avoided meals yesterday and just ate too much junk. It may have been lower calories overall and it may have caused a decrease on the scale but it is all about healthy and sustainable. I vow to have a better day today. One day at a time, right?
Day 12 – 09/28 …..209.8…..Yay!!! Better meals, a bit better movement. I just gotta watch those bad snacks!
Day 13 – 09/29 …..210.0….. Just a simple fluctuation. I had a very well-balanced day yesterday. Low cal for sure.
Day 14 – 09/30 …..211.0….. Chinese food yesterday with leftovers today. Still down a tad from the start.
Weight Loss in September……………….. 0.3 lb LOSS
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..0.3 Loss


Day 15 – 10/01 …..211.0…..I finished the last of the Chinese food. Now time for healthier and less sodium!
Day 16 – 10/02 …..209.0….. Whoosh! Practiced some IF yesterday and tried to keep the calories low (AS THEY SHOULD BE) . I hope today will be another good day!
Day 17 - 10/03 …..210.4….. I salted my low sodium veggie soup because it tasted sweet and then I cheated with some dessert when I could have just had the soup and called IT dessert! Lesson learned. However, I am still down 1.6 in the last 10 days which is better than I’ve done in awhile so I will try to keep up the momentum. I am hydrating a lot today to offset any bloat.
Day 18 – 10/04 …..210.0….. Going back down, even with challenges. #nevergiveup
Day 19 – 10/05 …..211.6….. I ate healthy yesterday but dinner was not until 11:00 pm (busy day). Lots of steps also so this is a shock! No TMI this morning so that doesn’t help. Very disappointing but not disrupting. Staying on track today.
Day 20 – 10/06 …..209.4….. Whoosh!
Day 21 – 10/07 …..209.6….. A good day yesterday so this is likely a normal fluctuation.
Day 22 – 10/08 …..209.8….. Another good day. The slight fluctuation must be from no TMI (potty) x 2 days. Otherwise, all is well. Good choices are being made. Not too much movement due to a pretty yucky foot injury but otherwise, all is well.
Day 23 – 10/09 …..209.6…..Slightly better but my snacks were cheats last night. Working to stop the midnight madness!
Day 24 – 10/10 …..210.0…..Fish fry last night. Today I will be extra careful. I am going to go look at Dawn’s videos right now. Pretty exited!
Day 25 – 10/11 …..209.2….. Yay!
Day 26 – 10/12 …..208.6….. Artificially low? We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Day 27 – 10/13 …..208.6….. I see I posted my stats yesterday on the wrong challenge. I guess I was just excited! I traveled today so I am afraid of tomorrow’s numbers, but I will try to stay positive and tackle whatever mean ol’ number that scale may bring.
Day 28 – 10/14 …..209.2….. I’m actually quite pleased with this. Sometimes carbs pack on 2-3 pounds from one travel meal! As a diabetic, I always eat when traveling. I am sure I will always choose those lovely foods not available in my little home town. However, changing habits in some way IS good so I am trying to resign myself to smaller portions. Also a lighter calorie/carb day the day after. No need to keep the extra ounces (on my hips) right?
Day 29 – 10/15 …..208.4….. God is Good and He has always had my back. Today is the first step in some life-changing things I have been working on. It puts me one step closer to where I need to be in my personal and professional life. I hope everyone will smile with (and for) me today. As far as my weight goes, I am not counting every carb and calorie again, just yet, but I am tweaking and making some important changes on this particular path of my journey. When all my resolutions are here, I will be able to focus again. It will be before Christmas I hope. Thanks to everyone for their continued support. Down almost a whole pound overnight and a bit lower than my pre-travel weight! I am estatic!
Day 30 – 10/16 …..208.2….. I’ll take it!
Day 31 – 10/17 …..207.6….. I am trying to make a better difference everyday in my diet, movement and attitude. I’m not 100% yet, some personal things continue to hold me back in time and energy, but I’m on my way!
Day 32 – 10/18 …..208.2….. I was very careful and got in some extra movement. I did have garlic bread (2 slices) so I guess I deserve this. I am still carefully watching portions (otherwise).
Day 33 – 10/19 …..207.4….. I enjoyed a new Deep Dish Pizza place in my little rural town. It was very good. I ate ½ of what I would normally eat and saved the rest for my dinner. No snacks at TV time to make up for the carbs/calories. It really helped and my weight has moved down! I will make today a great day!
Day 34 – 10/20 …..207.0…..I made a few bad choices but stopped temptation in it’s tracks and made the actual decision to make better one’s for the rest of the day. So glad I did!
Day 35 – 10/21 …..206.2….. I’m actually patting myself on the back today. So proud I have continued my changes. Yesterday I danced to one song on my Alexa and I did one Fitness Marshall (Sour Candy) with Lady Gaga. It felt like a 20 minute workout so I am out of shape but it was fun. I always love watching him!
Day 36 – 10/22 …..207.6…..Well that Sux! I guess grilled cheese & tomato soup is off the menu in the near future! Having chili-dogs at a local bar/restaurant today with a friend. I will have to work my whole dietary day around the pre-planned lunch. I need more movement and water today too.
Day 37 – 10/23 …..206.8….. I could have done without the French silk pie, or could I? Still trending down so I must be diligent!
Day 38 – 10/24 …..207.8….. Lucky Charms for dinner is a no-no.
Day 39 – 10/25 …..208.2…..A horrid day of grab & go eating. In fact it has been that way for the past few days. I MUST find time to cook but its pretty hard to do when most of my time lately has been away from home on projects. Tomorrow I travel far & wide to pick up my car from transmission shop downstate. I won’t be home until late evening. More weight!
Day 40 – 10/26 …..208.2….. Feeling like a loser right now without losing.
Day 41 – 10/27 …..210.4….. After travel weight. Fall is trying to get to me again with the pre-snow (bad roads) travel rush and with the warm & toasty comfort food. Too cold to walk and all that jazz. Knowledge is power! Today will be a good day.
Day 42 – 10/28 …..209.2….. Working it back down again. Cha-Cha!
Day 43 – 10/29 …..207.9….. I don’t think I entirely deserve the nice drop on the scale but I’m grateful. Skipped breakfast with a fast, very low cal lunch. We won’t talk about the rest.
Day 44 – 10/30 …..208.4….. I woke up in the middle of the night and ate a tremendously large meal before going back to sleep. I was starving! Very unusual. Early morning weigh-in afterward.
Day 45 – 10/31 …..208.4…..

Weight Loss in October……………….. 2.6 lbs Lost
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..2.9 lbs LOST so far Total


Day 46 – 11/01 …..207.4….. Even after sneaking some Haloween Candy so I am very happy with this. A very light dinner helped.
Day 47 – 11/02 …..208.6….. I ate 3 meals yesterday. They were pretty healthy but I usually only eat two and a snack at night with TV so I know it was higher calories than typical.
Day 48 – 11/03 …..207.6….. What a roller-coaster ride this is!
Day 49 – 11/04 …..?????….. I actually forgot to weigh today before the coffee. Yesterday was an above-average day so the scale would probably have smiled a little bit on me.
Day 50 – 11/05 …..206.6….. At the halfway mark in the challenge and feeling very happy with my progress. Will this 206 hold? Stay tuned.

******************************HALFWAY MARK**************************

Day 51 – 11/06 …..205.2….. Yay! I’m going to keep this train going and plan my meals carefully today!
Day 52 – 11/07 …..205.2.….. Blood sugar drop last night really did me in. I tried to be more in control of the situation but it still requires sugar and carbs to fix very quickly. I managed to bring it back up without being totally ridiculous. Thankful for that. I will plan more carefully today and avoid that situation tonight, I hope.
Day 53 – 11/08 ……206.0…..Must have been hidden high sodium. My menu wasn’t bad yesterday and my movement was increased.
Day 54 – 11/09 ….206.2….. More salty food. Today is a very big day in my life. I will have little control of anything but I will do my best.
Day 55 – 11/10 …..207.0….. Pizza & icecream during a celebration. Kicking my own butt today.
Day 56 – 11/11 …..207.4….. Reading my posts from various challenges, I think I’ve found a pattern of self-destruction. Every time I have a glucose drop (very scary) I end up eating high carb or sugary things at night which I believe sub-consciensly (spelled wrong) caused me to eat wrong and too much at night to avoid an episode. I am going to work around this but it won’t be easy. That survival instinct we have as humans is very strong and hard to manipulate.
Day 72 – 11/12 …..207.4….. Same
Day 58 – 11/13 ……207.6….. You CAN overeat healthy low cal foods. I was STARVING yesterday. Woke up STARVING again today. I hope for a better day but I am trying to pay attention to my body's cues to avoid sugar drops. Fear changes things and it's a hill I climb sometimes in my journey. Figuring it out.
Day 59 – 11/14 …..210.0…..A neighbor brought me a Chinese Dinner yesterday from out of town. Half for lunch. Half for dinner. I thought he was my friend. : /
Day 60 – 11/15 …..208.6….. I was careful yesterday due to some bloat and it helped. I will stay diligent today. I am proud that I turned down icecream when everyone else had it. I had a glass of cold water instead.
Day 61 – 11/16 …..207.2….I am still working down the bloat. Michigan is closing down restaurants starting Tuesday night/Wednesday morning at midnight. I see restaurants in my day for tomorrow and Tuesday for me and my son. Just like last time, nearly all of our very few restaurants in this very small town will completely close, even if carry out is allowed. Carry out only is just not enough to sustain small town places. I will try to be mindful but I think Pizza will be one choice and that is usually not good. So, my plan is to watch the quantities. I will survive and overcome any damage.
Day 62 – 11/17 …..209.0….. This is making me crazy. I know I need more water. Hardly shedding any at all and that is very unusual for a diabetic!
Day 63 – 11/18 …..209.0….. Bad choices on the run with my busy life right now. I can’t wait for things to improve!
Day 64 – 11/19 …..208.4….. Finally losing some water weight. I can’t wait to actually get to the fat!
Day 65 – 11/20 …..208.4……Final moving day. Handing over the keys to my home and two businesses. I will be very busy unpacking over the next couple of weeks. I will not be able to focus on my diet so much, but I should be able to get in lots of movement!
Day 66 – 11/21 .….208.4……
Day 67 – 11/22 …..208.1…… Finally got internet straightened out in new home!
Day 68 – 11/23 …..207.2…… Thankful for the drop. Traveling today for a new hot water heater. I will be careful with the carry-out at the restaurant but I will expect some water retention tomorrow.
Day 69 – 11/24 …..207.2…… Shocked there is no after travel major damage.
Day 70 – 11/25 …..206.2…… Burning it off. Diet just so-so.
Day 71 – 11/26 …..206..6…… Frustrating!
Day 72 – 11/27 …..207.6…… Not too bad after a Thanksgiving meal in the new house. Our view was unpacked boxes, but the meal was delicious. I can’t believe I pulled the kitchen together (just) enough to cook and bake! My son & I have so much to be grateful for this year so this was an important event for us.
Day 73 – 11/28 …..206.4…… I’m very happy with this post-Thanksgiving weight as it goes back down. I will be adding 20 minutes of general dancing and/or Fitness Marshall to my routine starting soon!
Day 74 – 11/29 …..xxxxx…… I actually forgot to weigh today. Wrapped and prepped for my DGS birthday party who turned 3. It was handled in a Covid-safe way. Cake & icecream that I couldn’t say no to, so hopefully not too much damage tomorrow.
Day 75 – 11/30 …..207.2…… Back on track today. Those after-holiday late night cravings got to me last night. I realized after eating that I could easily have eaten much much less. Sometimes I fill my plate with the “old amounts” out of habit. I’ll have to watch that!

Day 83 – 12/08 …..203.4…… A bit up today so I will buckle down!
Day 84 - 12/09 …..204.0…..I need to start thanking people for their kindness when they bring over food, but lay it aside.

Day 82: Mon, 12/7: 215.0 (+ .5 Weigh-In Day) Walked 3.3 miles, 1517 cal, 52 net carbs, 2 wine + 1 Benedictine. Time to get serious about losing weight and not let it creep up this holiday season!
Day 83: Tues, 12/8: 214.9 Walked 3.5 miles + 1 mile, 1 plank, 1438 cal, 27 net carbs, AF. Back to better habits … weekly menu planning, logging my meals each day in the morning, less alcohol, focus on water & exercise!

Day 85: Thurs, 12/10: 213.9 Walk 3.6 miles, 1 plank, 1227 cal, 27 net carbs, 2 wine. There is that elusive 213 again! Now to not bounce back up and lose sight of it again for weeks on end!
Day 86: Fri, 12/11:
Day 87: Sat, 12/12:

13th Week Goal Weight: 213.ANYTHING Time to make the scale quit bouncing up to 214 & 215. Basically been here for about 4 weeks.
13th Week Actual Weight:

Challenge Tracking

I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
My name is Dawn. 60 year old female
I live in South East British Columbia Canada
MFP start date October 28.18 - SW 191
Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

My previous 3 rounds:
The 1st one:
Nov 22.19 ending February 29.20 – Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7
The 2nd one:
March 01 - June 08.20 Start weight 154.4 EW 151.7 Total loss over 100 days 2.7 pounds
The 3rd one:
June 09 - September 16th Start weight 151.2 EW 142.3 Total loss over 100 days 8.9 pounds
3 rounds of 100 days each total results = 15.3 pounds lost

I started tracking my excess calories each day last round, those in the Green at the end of the tracking day. My results (based on 1200 calories per day) from 100 days were 78,627 - which over 100 days should lead to 7.86 pound loss, and I actually lost 8.9, so pretty good.

Day 1: Thurs, 9/17: 141.7 - I expect to get a lot of activity on my trip, but today is a driving day so I will have a nice workout before I leave. 919 in the green

Day 4: Sun 9/20 - 141.0 - My 60th birthday weight


Day 81: Sun, 12/6: 139.2 - 463 in the Green
Day 82: Mon, 12/7: 139.9 - I have been "good" hoping to see a drop soon. 681 in the Green
Day 83: Tues, 12/8: 139.5 - Staying on track. 879 in the Green
Day 84: Wed, 12/9: 138.5 - Happy to see this number, it will motivate me for the rest of the day to stay on track. 712 in the Green
Day 85: Thurs, 12/10: 137.4 - Could just be a fluctuation, but I will take it.
Day 86: Fri, 12/11:
Day 87: Sat, 12/12:

13th Week Goal Weight: 137.7 - This would represent a 4 pound loss in 87 days if I can get there

No not done unpacking yet. Trying to do a couple of boxes per day. At the same time I am trying to decorate , shop online and wrap what ups brings in daily. I am 100% on my own and its a 3 story house so it's slow going but I'll get there.

New kitchen faucet is in (old one leaked badly) and its hi-tech so I am having fun with it. Bladder for well is complete. Sink in guest bathroom still has cold water off in sink, but at least the hot works. (cold leaks to basement). There was a lot of furniture left including bedding that had to be disposed of or repurposed. Everything yellow and smokey (curtains walls even carpet) so cleaning has been the first priority and I am working on that daily too.

My kids are all working or have little ones so no help but that is okay. I'll get it all done eventually. I'm just glad I found someone to hire to help me get my trees up. I could never have made it up the stairs from the basement!

Thanks for thinking of me, especially when you have had your own hands full!

Challenge Tracking

I like to weigh every day to keep me accountable - knowing that I will be weighing in the morning sometimes stops me from continuing to eat at night : - )
My name is Dawn. 60 year old female
I live in South East British Columbia Canada
MFP start date October 28.18 - SW 191
Ultimate goal weight - 112 - 115

My previous 3 rounds:
The 1st one:
Nov 22.19 ending February 29.20 – Start weight 158.1 EW 154.4 Total loss over 100 days: 3.7
The 2nd one:
March 01 - June 08.20 Start weight 154.4 EW 151.7 Total loss over 100 days 2.7 pounds
The 3rd one:
June 09 - September 16th Start weight 151.2 EW 142.3 Total loss over 100 days 8.9 pounds
3 rounds of 100 days each total results = 15.3 pounds lost

I started tracking my excess calories each day last round, those in the Green at the end of the tracking day. My results (based on 1200 calories per day) from 100 days were 78,627 - which over 100 days should lead to 7.86 pound loss, and I actually lost 8.9, so pretty good.

Day 1: Thurs, 9/17: 141.7 - I expect to get a lot of activity on my trip, but today is a driving day so I will have a nice workout before I leave. 919 in the green

Day 4: Sun 9/20 - 141.0 - My 60th birthday weight


Day 81: Sun, 12/6: 139.2 - 463 in the Green
Day 82: Mon, 12/7: 139.9 - I have been "good" hoping to see a drop soon. 681 in the Green
Day 83: Tues, 12/8: 139.5 - Staying on track. 879 in the Green
Day 84: Wed, 12/9: 138.5 - Happy to see this number, it will motivate me for the rest of the day to stay on track. 712 in the Green
Day 85: Thurs, 12/10: 137.4 - Could just be a fluctuation, but I will take it. 608 in the Green
Day 86: Fri, 12/11: 136.9 - New low for me, possibly a fluke, but it will motivate me today.
Day 87: Sat, 12/12:

13th Week Goal Weight: 137.7 - This would represent a 4 pound loss in 87 days if I can get there
13th Week Actual Weight:

STARTING WEIGHT: 211.3

Day 01 – 09/17 ….210.8…..Very Pleased. This is a nice way to start! Good luck everyone!
Day 02 – 09/18 ....210.6….. Happy Dance!
Day 03 – 09/19 ….211.2….. canned soup with crackers. Too much sodium but had no time to cook yesterday.
Day 04 – 09/20 ….210.8….. Better!
Day 05 - 09/21 …..211.0….. not a bad little increase after movie night with son and some pizza.
Day 06 – 09/22 …..210.8….. Traveled today so tomorrow will be pitiful. Going to get very diligent to knock it back into the atmosphere. No extra fat allowed to hang around here. Time to go!
Day 07 – 09/23 …..212.0….. After travel. I will work on this today.
Day 08 – 09/24 …..210.8….. Traveled again but kept it to one meal and a small snack and I was rewarded!
Day 09 – 09/25 …..211.6….. I hate gaining when there is no apparent reason why. Yesterday was a pretty good day. However, there was not much movement due to all the special meetings I had. So today I will focus on more movement and cautiously go to the grocery store for more water (which is a little scary on a Friday in this small tourist town). Hydration may be key today. Flush, flush, flush.
Day 10 – 09/26 …..211.4…..
Day 11 – 09/27 …..211.2….. I am not getting where I want to be in a very healthy way. Even with the scale going down I am not super happy. I know I avoided meals yesterday and just ate too much junk. It may have been lower calories overall and it may have caused a decrease on the scale but it is all about healthy and sustainable. I vow to have a better day today. One day at a time, right?
Day 12 – 09/28 …..209.8…..Yay!!! Better meals, a bit better movement. I just gotta watch those bad snacks!
Day 13 – 09/29 …..210.0….. Just a simple fluctuation. I had a very well-balanced day yesterday. Low cal for sure.
Day 14 – 09/30 …..211.0….. Chinese food yesterday with leftovers today. Still down a tad from the start.
Weight Loss in September……………….. 0.3 lb LOSS
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..0.3 Loss


Day 15 – 10/01 …..211.0…..I finished the last of the Chinese food. Now time for healthier and less sodium!
Day 16 – 10/02 …..209.0….. Whoosh! Practiced some IF yesterday and tried to keep the calories low (AS THEY SHOULD BE) . I hope today will be another good day!
Day 17 - 10/03 …..210.4….. I salted my low sodium veggie soup because it tasted sweet and then I cheated with some dessert when I could have just had the soup and called IT dessert! Lesson learned. However, I am still down 1.6 in the last 10 days which is better than I’ve done in awhile so I will try to keep up the momentum. I am hydrating a lot today to offset any bloat.
Day 18 – 10/04 …..210.0….. Going back down, even with challenges. #nevergiveup
Day 19 – 10/05 …..211.6….. I ate healthy yesterday but dinner was not until 11:00 pm (busy day). Lots of steps also so this is a shock! No TMI this morning so that doesn’t help. Very disappointing but not disrupting. Staying on track today.
Day 20 – 10/06 …..209.4….. Whoosh!
Day 21 – 10/07 …..209.6….. A good day yesterday so this is likely a normal fluctuation.
Day 22 – 10/08 …..209.8….. Another good day. The slight fluctuation must be from no TMI (potty) x 2 days. Otherwise, all is well. Good choices are being made. Not too much movement due to a pretty yucky foot injury but otherwise, all is well.
Day 23 – 10/09 …..209.6…..Slightly better but my snacks were cheats last night. Working to stop the midnight madness!
Day 24 – 10/10 …..210.0…..Fish fry last night. Today I will be extra careful. I am going to go look at Dawn’s videos right now. Pretty exited!
Day 25 – 10/11 …..209.2….. Yay!
Day 26 – 10/12 …..208.6….. Artificially low? We’ll see what tomorrow brings.
Day 27 – 10/13 …..208.6….. I see I posted my stats yesterday on the wrong challenge. I guess I was just excited! I traveled today so I am afraid of tomorrow’s numbers, but I will try to stay positive and tackle whatever mean ol’ number that scale may bring.
Day 28 – 10/14 …..209.2….. I’m actually quite pleased with this. Sometimes carbs pack on 2-3 pounds from one travel meal! As a diabetic, I always eat when traveling. I am sure I will always choose those lovely foods not available in my little home town. However, changing habits in some way IS good so I am trying to resign myself to smaller portions. Also a lighter calorie/carb day the day after. No need to keep the extra ounces (on my hips) right?
Day 29 – 10/15 …..208.4….. God is Good and He has always had my back. Today is the first step in some life-changing things I have been working on. It puts me one step closer to where I need to be in my personal and professional life. I hope everyone will smile with (and for) me today. As far as my weight goes, I am not counting every carb and calorie again, just yet, but I am tweaking and making some important changes on this particular path of my journey. When all my resolutions are here, I will be able to focus again. It will be before Christmas I hope. Thanks to everyone for their continued support. Down almost a whole pound overnight and a bit lower than my pre-travel weight! I am estatic!
Day 30 – 10/16 …..208.2….. I’ll take it!
Day 31 – 10/17 …..207.6….. I am trying to make a better difference everyday in my diet, movement and attitude. I’m not 100% yet, some personal things continue to hold me back in time and energy, but I’m on my way!
Day 32 – 10/18 …..208.2….. I was very careful and got in some extra movement. I did have garlic bread (2 slices) so I guess I deserve this. I am still carefully watching portions (otherwise).
Day 33 – 10/19 …..207.4….. I enjoyed a new Deep Dish Pizza place in my little rural town. It was very good. I ate ½ of what I would normally eat and saved the rest for my dinner. No snacks at TV time to make up for the carbs/calories. It really helped and my weight has moved down! I will make today a great day!
Day 34 – 10/20 …..207.0…..I made a few bad choices but stopped temptation in it’s tracks and made the actual decision to make better one’s for the rest of the day. So glad I did!
Day 35 – 10/21 …..206.2….. I’m actually patting myself on the back today. So proud I have continued my changes. Yesterday I danced to one song on my Alexa and I did one Fitness Marshall (Sour Candy) with Lady Gaga. It felt like a 20 minute workout so I am out of shape but it was fun. I always love watching him!
Day 36 – 10/22 …..207.6…..Well that Sux! I guess grilled cheese & tomato soup is off the menu in the near future! Having chili-dogs at a local bar/restaurant today with a friend. I will have to work my whole dietary day around the pre-planned lunch. I need more movement and water today too.
Day 37 – 10/23 …..206.8….. I could have done without the French silk pie, or could I? Still trending down so I must be diligent!
Day 38 – 10/24 …..207.8….. Lucky Charms for dinner is a no-no.
Day 39 – 10/25 …..208.2…..A horrid day of grab & go eating. In fact it has been that way for the past few days. I MUST find time to cook but its pretty hard to do when most of my time lately has been away from home on projects. Tomorrow I travel far & wide to pick up my car from transmission shop downstate. I won’t be home until late evening. More weight!
Day 40 – 10/26 …..208.2….. Feeling like a loser right now without losing.
Day 41 – 10/27 …..210.4….. After travel weight. Fall is trying to get to me again with the pre-snow (bad roads) travel rush and with the warm & toasty comfort food. Too cold to walk and all that jazz. Knowledge is power! Today will be a good day.
Day 42 – 10/28 …..209.2….. Working it back down again. Cha-Cha!
Day 43 – 10/29 …..207.9….. I don’t think I entirely deserve the nice drop on the scale but I’m grateful. Skipped breakfast with a fast, very low cal lunch. We won’t talk about the rest.
Day 44 – 10/30 …..208.4….. I woke up in the middle of the night and ate a tremendously large meal before going back to sleep. I was starving! Very unusual. Early morning weigh-in afterward.
Day 45 – 10/31 …..208.4…..

Weight Loss in October……………….. 2.6 lbs Lost
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..2.9 lbs LOST so far Total


Day 46 – 11/01 …..207.4….. Even after sneaking some Haloween Candy so I am very happy with this. A very light dinner helped.
Day 47 – 11/02 …..208.6….. I ate 3 meals yesterday. They were pretty healthy but I usually only eat two and a snack at night with TV so I know it was higher calories than typical.
Day 48 – 11/03 …..207.6….. What a roller-coaster ride this is!
Day 49 – 11/04 …..?????….. I actually forgot to weigh today before the coffee. Yesterday was an above-average day so the scale would probably have smiled a little bit on me.
Day 50 – 11/05 …..206.6….. At the halfway mark in the challenge and feeling very happy with my progress. Will this 206 hold? Stay tuned.

******************************HALFWAY MARK**************************

Day 51 – 11/06 …..205.2….. Yay! I’m going to keep this train going and plan my meals carefully today!
Day 52 – 11/07 …..205.2.….. Blood sugar drop last night really did me in. I tried to be more in control of the situation but it still requires sugar and carbs to fix very quickly. I managed to bring it back up without being totally ridiculous. Thankful for that. I will plan more carefully today and avoid that situation tonight, I hope.
Day 53 – 11/08 ……206.0…..Must have been hidden high sodium. My menu wasn’t bad yesterday and my movement was increased.
Day 54 – 11/09 ….206.2….. More salty food. Today is a very big day in my life. I will have little control of anything but I will do my best.
Day 55 – 11/10 …..207.0….. Pizza & icecream during a celebration. Kicking my own butt today.
Day 56 – 11/11 …..207.4….. Reading my posts from various challenges, I think I’ve found a pattern of self-destruction. Every time I have a glucose drop (very scary) I end up eating high carb or sugary things at night which I believe sub-consciensly (spelled wrong) caused me to eat wrong and too much at night to avoid an episode. I am going to work around this but it won’t be easy. That survival instinct we have as humans is very strong and hard to manipulate.
Day 72 – 11/12 …..207.4….. Same
Day 58 – 11/13 ……207.6….. You CAN overeat healthy low cal foods. I was STARVING yesterday. Woke up STARVING again today. I hope for a better day but I am trying to pay attention to my body's cues to avoid sugar drops. Fear changes things and it's a hill I climb sometimes in my journey. Figuring it out.
Day 59 – 11/14 …..210.0…..A neighbor brought me a Chinese Dinner yesterday from out of town. Half for lunch. Half for dinner. I thought he was my friend. : /
Day 60 – 11/15 …..208.6….. I was careful yesterday due to some bloat and it helped. I will stay diligent today. I am proud that I turned down icecream when everyone else had it. I had a glass of cold water instead.
Day 61 – 11/16 …..207.2….I am still working down the bloat. Michigan is closing down restaurants starting Tuesday night/Wednesday morning at midnight. I see restaurants in my day for tomorrow and Tuesday for me and my son. Just like last time, nearly all of our very few restaurants in this very small town will completely close, even if carry out is allowed. Carry out only is just not enough to sustain small town places. I will try to be mindful but I think Pizza will be one choice and that is usually not good. So, my plan is to watch the quantities. I will survive and overcome any damage.
Day 62 – 11/17 …..209.0….. This is making me crazy. I know I need more water. Hardly shedding any at all and that is very unusual for a diabetic!
Day 63 – 11/18 …..209.0….. Bad choices on the run with my busy life right now. I can’t wait for things to improve!
Day 64 – 11/19 …..208.4….. Finally losing some water weight. I can’t wait to actually get to the fat!
Day 65 – 11/20 …..208.4……Final moving day. Handing over the keys to my home and two businesses. I will be very busy unpacking over the next couple of weeks. I will not be able to focus on my diet so much, but I should be able to get in lots of movement!
Day 66 – 11/21 .….208.4……
Day 67 – 11/22 …..208.1…… Finally got internet straightened out in new home!
Day 68 – 11/23 …..207.2…… Thankful for the drop. Traveling today for a new hot water heater. I will be careful with the carry-out at the restaurant but I will expect some water retention tomorrow.
Day 69 – 11/24 …..207.2…… Shocked there is no after travel major damage.
Day 70 – 11/25 …..206.2…… Burning it off. Diet just so-so.
Day 71 – 11/26 …..206..6…… Frustrating!
Day 72 – 11/27 …..207.6…… Not too bad after a Thanksgiving meal in the new house. Our view was unpacked boxes, but the meal was delicious. I can’t believe I pulled the kitchen together (just) enough to cook and bake! My son & I have so much to be grateful for this year so this was an important event for us.
Day 73 – 11/28 …..206.4…… I’m very happy with this post-Thanksgiving weight as it goes back down. I will be adding 20 minutes of general dancing and/or Fitness Marshall to my routine starting soon!
Day 74 – 11/29 …..xxxxx…… I actually forgot to weigh today. Wrapped and prepped for my DGS birthday party who turned 3. It was handled in a Covid-safe way. Cake & icecream that I couldn’t say no to, so hopefully not too much damage tomorrow.
Day 75 – 11/30 …..207.2…… Back on track today. Those after-holiday late night cravings got to me last night. I realized after eating that I could easily have eaten much much less. Sometimes I fill my plate with the “old amounts” out of habit. I’ll have to watch that!

Weight Loss in November……………….. 1.2 Lbs Lost.
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..4.1 lbs Lost Total. Very Grateful.



Day 76 – 12/01 …..207.6…… No TMI for 2 days now which I know is affecting the scale.
Day 77 – 12/02 …..206..8…… I credit the bathroom activity. Diet could have been worse but could have been better too.
Day 78 – 12/03 …..206.2…… I’m liking this!
Day 79 – 12/04 …..203.6…… I hate to be graphic, but I peed so much during the night that I think this may strictly be fluid loss. When rehydrated, what will I actually weigh? We shall see…..
Day 80 – 12/05 …..203.8…… Rehydrating after a big drop due to fluid loss. Getting in a little dancing on my Alexa.
Day 81 – 12/06 …..203.4……The 203’s are for real????? Pleased as punch here.
Day 82 – 12/07 …..202.6…… I tested it and it’s true. I just don’t need that many crackers in my soup! Keeping the calories lower and working hard at continued unpacking, wrapping presents and decorating too.
Day 83 – 12/08 …..203.4…… A bit up today so I will buckle down!
Day 84 - 12/09 …..204.0…..I need to start thanking people for their kindness when they bring over food, but lay it aside.
Day 85 – 12/10….. 204.2…… Creeping up.
Day 86 – 12/11 …..204.2…… I guess the same is better than a gain.
Day 87 – 12/12 …..xxxxx……
Day 88 – 12/13 …..xxxxx……

@deepwoodslady - You've got your work ahead of you! I know that I'm not so inspired to paint and do all the work to fix my place up myself ... I would rather garden LOL We've been here 20 years now and it too needs some loving attention. Now my kids ... they are really tackling their places. My son and his wife bought an older home. The removing popcorn ceiling they had professionals but the painting and new flooring through out including new threads on the stairs is all them. My daughter and her husband remodeled my brother in laws old place and are now living there. They too did a ton of the work but did hire professions to help on the majority removing popcorn ceilings, moving plumbing, tile in bathrooms, etc. They roped us into helping install the kitchen cabinets LOL

Sounds like a great arrangement for your son to begin learning more life skills.

Good luck ... enjoy your stairs!
