@Lilylady3k Hoping those blood results comes back wonderful. My doctor is telling me the same number ranges to aim for as you showed me. She damn near put me on shots in May when I was at the 13.7 A1C. I refused. I knew I could do better! Her only advice this time is to keep working it down. I know I should be below 7 as a diabetic. I also know that if I can get it into the 5 range, I probably would go into remission and not need medication at all as long as my weight stays in check.

The doctor said she is not likely to be able to EVER remove my son's medication (the autistic one). Although he is at 6.8, he does not have good eating habits (eating discorders associated with the autism). He has also not displayed the willingness to lose weight, exercise regularly or make other lifestyle changes the way that I have. She is more likely to reduce my medicine someday than to ever reduce or remove his. I hope her really heard her and understands! It's not a threat. She was just being realistic. However, maybe my talks with him will go further now. I'm happy to say he lost 8 pounds since May and I could see how happy he was (although he usually says it doesn't matter or he doesn't care). I think he's more willing now to take some small walks with me throughout the day while the workers do their thing. Time will tell.....


@dawnbgethealthy Love the pics on the nice new car! So happy that you could get another one! My new(er) car was delivered today by the out-of-town dealership (we don't have one in my town). It is a 2018 Ford Escape. I replaced a 2006 For Escape with it so it's 12 years newer and that is a nice upgrade for me. I don't look forward to the payment but I'll get through it - I always do! This one is going to ride a little lower to the ground also so I also hope it will do okay in the snow. I plan on putting some very beefy high tread all-season tires on it. The one's on there are just so-so. I usually go downstate a few hours away and finagle my way into really good tires for about $1200.00 The investment is well worth it to me to be safe on those icy roads in winter. I'll drive these tires as late into fall as I can before I replace them. When I get a few minutes I will take a picture of it and post. I really felt like a diva when they delivered it to me but I didn't want to lose a day on the renovations. I also didn't need more car sitting and another restaurant meal! I'm not a big-time Ford person when it comes to cars, but I really really have always liked the Escape on the snowy roads. It is like the Little Engine that Could. I've owned a 2001, a 2006 and now a 2018. This is the first one with the new body style (they changed it in 2013) so I hope it is as good in the winter as my others have been. Lets hope for lots of safe travels and wonderful adventures for us both in our newer vehicles!

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ July 14 through Oct 21, 2021
My Name is Donna, Age 61. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 159-154





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

Ending Weight Last Round (start weight this round): 195.2 lbs


Day 01 – 07/14 …..196.0….. Ouch! Starting a bit higher than I’d hoped for. No proper TMI since last weigh-in. However, I know the peanut butter filled pretzels with those big chunks of rock salt on them didn’t help. I know I am retaining fluids. No proper pee either. Sorry so graphic but all of that does make a difference. Today I am taking my son and his friend for a short trip out of town for the Dairy Queen. I will keep my meal small and try to get in some extra steps later today. Water….water….water…. So nice to see some newbies to the challenge! Welcome! Good luck everyone. I’m on your side and offer 100% support!
Day 02 – 07/15 …..196.8….. Regular hamburger and blizzard at the DQ. Looked up calories later and found the medium pecan turtle blizzard is 900 calories!!!! Yes you read that right! 900. After seeing that, I kept the rest of the evening and night very low cal. I ate less than I burned for the day so I’m disappointed to see a gain. No TMI x 2 is probably contributing. I will be drinking cleanse tea today in the hopes of emptying. I will also stay accountable. The ups & downs of it all are frustrating when you are still trying to enjoy life. This is exactly why I wanted to firmly get into the 197’s before I felt confident being in Onederland. I can ride the waves of the journey and still be below 200. I will have a good day today. My head is on straight and my thinking cap is on.
Day 03 – 07/16 …..195.6….. Shed water all night so the whoosh is no surprise. I knew I was retaining water from a few days of a few bad choices. I put more thought into my meal planning yesterday although my steps were only at 9000+. Maybe today I can get in more steps. Workers will be here again today. Starting new projects while waiting for the drywall finisher.
Day 04 – 07/17 …..195.4….. I would like to get to the 192’s in the coming couple of weeks. That would put me about ½ way to the 180’s. It is much slower when watching calories instead of just carbs, but I am hoping the weight loss will be more lasting.
Day 05 - 07/18 …..194.8….. I had a great but scary day yesterday. Great that I stuck to plan and got in a bit of a hike. Scary that I finally decided to log my food for the first time since before covid. Thanks to all of you who chimed in to help me figure out my new macros and goals. I may have to play with it a bit but I feel good about facing my weaknesses right now and looking at them square in the face which is how logging my food feels right now to me. I know my choices in foods are not always the greatest. That is the scary part. Do I really want to see it in writing again? I’m ready for this step. It helped me lose a lot of weight before and I know it will again. It’s a commitment and those can be hard for me. I felt ready yesterday and am still feeling good today.
Day 06 – 07/19 …..194.0….. Very low calorie yesterday. Even lower than what I ended up on my logging. Due to my workers coming late and staying so late, I ate way later than usual (11:00 PM). I prelogged so that I could close out for the day but I didn’t end up fitting in my evening snack. My very late dinner had filled me up. Today should be back up to goal. I saw a nice drop on the scale this morning and on my body fat %, but it may be temporary due to yesterdays low calorie. My BMI is still at 32.5. I have a long way to go before getting out of obese and into overweight. I am still aiming for 192 point anything as that will make me so much closer to the new decade. I need to plan my meals for today so I can stay on track. I’m starving already! I scrubbed down the outside of the house yesterday with the help of a neighbor teenager. I didn’t log it as exercise but my burn was very good yesterday because of that.
Day 07 – 07/20 …..194.4….. I don’t get it. I had a day with calories left over in the green. My meals were not sodium filled so there should not have been water retention. TMI yesterday evening was so-so. But it was there. Just as we have been talking about in our conversations, the numbers don’t always make sense for many of us. I guess I will have to be patient and ride it out. It’s a helluva journey but we are all worth it, right?
Day 08 – 07/21 …..193.4….. Finally those low calorie days showed up on the scale! Thank you @dawnbgethealthy for reminding me that it could take a few days to arrive! I did up my calories yesterday by eating a higher calorie dinner I may not have chosen otherwise, just to fit in some calories (or they would have been way too low again). I did not over eat. I just chose something with a higher count. I did yard work yesterday. I also stacked quite a bit of wood and did some raking. However, I did not close all my circles and my calorie burn was lower so I will work on getting in a walk or a small hike today. I’ve got to take advantage of this weather and stay active!
Day 09 – 07/22 …..194.2….. Dammit! I got really hungry last night because dinner earlier just didn’t satisfy. I ended up eating extra “diet” snacks. I was in the red by 199 calories. 0.8 heavier today which is concerning because I am having a long travel day today which will mean restaurants and sitting. I dread tomorrow’s weigh-in! On the good side – my trend weight is still going down. Staying grateful!

Day 10 – 07/23 …..196.4….. It’s all showing up now. The mini binge Wed night and the travel and horrid choices at the restaurants on Thur. I deserve this unfortunately. Today I will have a low calorie day on purpose and I will try to up my exercise by taking small walks throughout the day (while workers work on reno). I won’t allow this to stick!
Day 11 – 07/24 …..196.6….. A normal fluctuation due to no TMI x2. Yesterday didn’t end up being the extra low calorie I had planned. A worker and I ended up out of town for something specific. About an hour each way to drive, I bought him dinner out for his extra time and effort. I kept the meal reasonable and had been fasting most of the day so the hit on the scale was not bad. Today I will try again for the low cal but it is pouring the rain today so likely there will no no outside activity.
Day 12 – 07/25 …..194.8….. I was finally able to go extra low calorie yesterday. 1004 calories and felt satisfied because of my good choices. Extra veggies. Only 48 oz of water (besides my black coffee) for the day. Only 12 minutes of walking up and down my steep driveway (couldn’t get away). But I did my best to stay the course. Only 4 hours of sleep last night. None of that helps but my efforts (no matter how small) payed off on the scale. I am excited for today. My very best childhood friend is here in Michigan for a visit from Tennessee. I am meeting her halfway downstate this afternoon for a quick visit and lunch. She had to come back home to Mich for a memorial service of a relative. Another restaurant meal today. Oh the ups and downs of it all! However, I will make up for it and will try to get extra movement in tonight or tomorrow. I’m excited to see her! #enjoyinglifetoday.
Day 13 – 07/26 …..194.8….. So happy to see the scale didn’t go up after yesterday’s special lunch with Audrey. I hope it doesn’t show up tomorrow! My weight is still trending down and so is my fat % but is still higher than my actual scale weight. It has not caught up with the recent weight loss yet since my birthday in May. It moves slowly both ways and I like that since it doesn’t reflect those small fluctuations that correct theirselves. I am hoping the rest of July will keep me at home with no travel. I do so much better.
Day 14 – 07/27 …..193.4….. A nice whoosh. Good day yesterday all around although dinner was late. Scared Sh**less last night. A damn bat was flying over my bed under the ceiling fan! I got it out of my room, opened the attached garage doors and then locked myself and Pebbles back into my room. I have no idea if it is still in here. I’ve looked this morning and see nothing on any of the floors but where would it be during the day if it is still in here? Help!!! Advice?
Day 15 – 07/28 …..193.2….. I am going out of town today afterall. I think I am going to buy a new car today. Actually a used car from a dealership that I’ve dealt with in the past. It is very clean and very nice and exactly the vehicle that I now have (only a lot newer). This little champ gets me through the hard winters, snow and ice like a champ so I am getting another one for sure, and hopefully that is today. I will take my son with me and get him out to a nice dinner. I already know where he will want to go and while I can watch my portions, I know what I order will be filled with sodium. I will push water the next few days and solve that issue. One day and one meal does not a girl make. Are you listening @Lilylady3k ??? LOL We will be fine!
Day 16 – 07/29 …..194.4….. Expected after the travel yesterday. I will have leftovers today for dinner so I’m not sure how that will affect the scale tomorrow for the weigh-in. I will, otherwise, IF 16/8 today, push water, and watch my nighttime snacks I signed on the newer used car at the dealership yesterday. I asked them to add remote start, change the grill in the front because I found a small crack in it although it’s never been in an accident (grocery cart?). They are also going to deliver it to me when all is done. That is great considering it is almost 100 miles away each way. Spoil me already! No bat detected last night before sleep…….

Day 17 - 07/30 …..194.2….. I had a great day yesterday. Calories and carbs within plan. I got in some extra calorie burn. However, no TMI day 2, very low water intake and no sleep for days now because of the bat situation. I suppose a 0.2 loss is better than nothing! I am planning another good day today. I’ll try to watch the sodium today as that has been through the roof!
Day 18 – 07/31 …..192.4….. A new low for me since before Covid. After 4 days of travel this past week, I didn’t expect this. However, on the days I was at home I really stuck to plan. Yesterday was a so-so day as I seemed hungier than usual. That often happens after higher calorie days. However, I stuck to plan and ate at the upper half of my range to avoid temptations. Very little movement yesterday but I did fit in a short walk as it was getting dark. Lots of water shedding last night interrupted my sleep. It was so bad that between 4:00 am and 5:00 am I actually got up 6 times to pee. So I think that explains the loss on the scale. The sodium and water retention should be all gone now! No TMI day 3 for me. All these fluctuations in how my body is working really makes a difference. I’m hoping to add some extra fiber today and make a good difference in the coming days. Even with the interruptions, I slept a little over 6 hours and that is a lot for me. I think that was key to my loss this morning too. My well is being worked on today. I pray they can fix the horrific and very rusty leaks without breaking anything. Going without water would be horrible! Fingers crossed for me everybody!

Weight Loss in July……………….. 3.8 lbs lost (partial month)
Total Accumulated Weight Loss…..3.8 lbs

Day 19 – 08/01 …..191.4….. Didn’t have much time to eat yesterday and dinner was very late (within 1 hour of bed). No water here since yesterday morning due to well problems. Seal was fixed (???) but no one can get the pump primed. Perhaps the check gauge went out when it was turned off? IDK but this is horrible!

Day 20 – 08/02 …..189.6….. Thrilled with this number but I must be honest and say that I could be slightly dehydrated. Due to the well problems and no water since Saturday morning, I have had to be a bit stingy with my water usage and intake. This may go back up when the well pump is fixed. Plumber is going to try to get out here this evening. If not, then tomorrow. Ugh!!! In any case, yesterday was a good day overall in the journey. I ate at the top of my calorie allowance due to peanut butter on a plain bagel. After counting carbs for the past few years with no mind to calories, I was S.H.O.C.K.E.D at what the calorie content was when I later logged it. 500 calories for a plain bagel with 3 measured TBSP of Jif creamy peanutbutter! Never will those 2 things go together again and in my mouth at the same time! I was trying to up my protein as my logging shows I have been consistently under in the protein department. I also added yogurt nearly everyday to help boost it. I need to do more. Anyway, I was happy to see a new decade on the scale but I will not trust it until I get to 187 point anything.
Day 21 – 08/03 …..190.4….. So, I was starving yesterday after a couple of days of weight loss. My body wants it’s fat back! I caved in and ate cheese pizza (no crust). 700 calories worth. However, I stayed within all my goals. I guzzled water with it as the well man got the well flowing again. I always gain after pizza and guzzling water with it sunk me for sure. However, I made my other meals small and healthy to make up for it. 1275 calories in / 2528 calories out. 13,091 total steps. 5.5 total miles, 7 floors, 44 minutes of planned and documented extra exercise, I slept 4 hours 33 minutes last night and my trend weight went down 0.4. My fat percentage according to my scale and verified by trendweight went down 0.1. I am going to work toward getting into the 180’s now that I briefly touched them. My doctor’s appointment is on Thursday (blood glucose and overall checkup). My doctor would be thrilled to see that. I am still happy to report that I haven’t had a severe glucose drop in awhile.
Day 22 – 08/04 …..191.6….. Decided on an impromptu trip out of town with my son to get him out of the house and to shop for DGD’s 1st birthday in August. Steps inaccurate on tracker because when pushing the cart without arm movement, it doesn’t actually count the steps and I shopped for many hours in many stores and a strip mall. Quiltingjaine recommends putting tracker on ankle during shopping times but mine doesn’t fit around my ankle. I guess that means my legs are still way too thick lol! In any case, my meal was moderate (brought half home for lunch today) but was still way over plan. Arrived home at 10:15 pm due to travel time also. Staying on point today. Doctor appointment tomorrow.
Day 23 – 08/05 …..191.2….. I was hoping to drop down a little more than this overnight but I can’t get my water intake in as I am conserving what I can. The well went out again yesterday morning. I waited all day for the guy to show up to fix it and he finally texted at 7:30 pm he wasn’t coming afterall. Doctors today and my body is in need of a deep cleaning first! I’m going to hit up the part-time neighbor for shower for me and my son as we are both going to the doctors. I feel like I’m in a nightmare!
Day 24 – 08/06 …..190.0….. That is an unexpected drop after making some bad choices yesterday. I ate all my calories back from exercise. Although I was in the green, it showed only 79 calories left (I ate about 1690). I must stop eating my emotions! So disgusted with this well situation although he finally came by yesterday evening and got it going even if it is loud and kind of rattling/banging. Now, this afternoon he has cancelled the replacement appointment for this weekend saying his schedule is busier than he thought. He is aiming for next week. I pray this prime on this well pump will keep the water flowing until then. Last time it last about 1 ½ days. My mammogram and oncology appointment down in Ann Arbor Michigan (about 4 hours from home each way) is coming up next Thursday. What I weigh now is very close to what I weighed last time I saw them (pre Covid). Thank goodness I reigned it in. Keeping my weight down is actually key with the type of breast cancer that I have (in remission). All the more reason to just keep going……

How are you enjoying those fitness classes? I just did 20 minutes to warm my body up before crouching, digging, pulling, reaching, squatting etc. in the yard. Going to do a few more Fitness Marshall songs, then get my bathing suit on so that I can tan my belly while I play in the garden. You know the saying, brown fat looks better than white fat lol.

@dawnbgethealthy - The Dodge Dart is low to the ground! hmmmm I'm sure you will adjust driving in snow in it just don't get stuck.
TOTALLY agree about tan vs white tummy LOL
Fitness Class is good. The teacher is great (70 years old and very fit ... an inspiration). The class is mainly age 50+ and is a full hour @ our community rec center. Lots and lots of reps with weights, lunges, squats, planks, etc. Killer arm and shoulder exercises. I'm enjoying it and knew one person going ... and another person I sort of know joined this week. Fun group of guys and gals.

Sample of her class

Doctor's visit went well. My blood pressure was through the roof but they came back in at the end of my visit and it was okay. Whew ... she was about to send me to the heart doctor. She is no longer testing my A1c since it has stayed below 5.7 in all her tests and my glucose is okay. Other blood results TBD. She is mainly monitoring cholesterol, LDL (HDL is good), B12, D3 and now blood pressure ... everything else is going fine.
She wants me to take the shingles shot which I'm like ... I heard that really hurts. She agreed but said I should take it.
Also advised me to take a booster covid19 vaccine when it becomes available. No reason to take a 3rd shot of Pfizer until they release a reformalized booster (doc expects it out maybe in December).

Thanks @Miyoka_Tata
I am Dawn. 60, 5'2
Began MFP Oct 28.18 at 191 pounds
UGW 110-115

This is my 7th round on this thread: Round 1 loss 3.7, Round 2 loss 2.7, Round 3 loss 8.9, Round 4 loss 4.0
Round 5 loss 4.6. Round 6 - gain of 0.08
24.8 pound loss over 601 days.
I always reach for a 10 pound loss each 100 even though that hasn't happened.
I keep track of calories left over at the end of each day, in the Green on the MFP tracker. My aim is 500+ average calories in the Green each day (deficit) - this would lead to a 5lb loss over 100 days.

Day 1 7/14:132.2 - Wish that I had weighed this yesterday instead of 133.9 to end the previous 100! 312 in the Green
Day 2 7/15: 132.2 - Usually my weight jumps around quite around a bit, nice to see that I didn't somehow gain. 489 in the Green
Day 3 7/16: 133.1 - Had Beef Palak last night 803 in the Green
Day 4 7/17: 132.9 - 390 in the Green

1st Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
1st Week Actual Weight: 132.9
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 1994. Divided by the 4 days is 798.5, very close to my goal of having a 500 calories deficit each day (3500 calories in a pound, so shooting to lose 1 pound per week)

Day 5: Sun, 7/18: 133.3 - owch. 616 in the Green
Day 6: Mon, 7/19: 133.9 - I didn't do anything to gain. I will keep plugging along though. I am working out of town today and have scheduled 2 visits with separate groups up there once I finish my work, and then another back here. Would have been nice to have a cushion since there will be drinks and snacks at all 3. 334 in the Green
Day 7: Tues, 7/20: 132.8 - I have an evening shift today and a split shift tomorrow. I don't like eating so late, but I eat so many vegetables with my dinner that I don't eat before work so that I am not gassy lol. 906 in the Green
Day 8: Wed, 7/21: 133.3 - Late dinner, as tonight will be because of my work schedule. I really do know that eating late is a killer to my weight loss, but it is what it is. 391 in the Green
Day 9: Thurs, 7/22: 132.8 - Bouncing around as usual. Of course i would rather be bouncing around in the 120s, hopefully eventually! 917 in the Green
Day 10: Fri, 7/23: 132.7 - Late dinner last night again due to work schedule. 313 in the Green
Day 11: Sat, 7/24: 132.1 - Tonight will be late dinner again. 389 in the Green

2nd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
2nd Week Actual Weight: 132.1
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 3866 - Average 552, so should have lost a pound and did.

Day 12 Sun 7/25: 132.4 - My work schedule is posted, I am working the day shifts until Friday, eating dinner earlier will be a benefit to my weight loss I believe. 970 in the Green
Day 13 Mon 7/26: 132.4 - I got a bunch of yard work done yesterday (drop in the bucket) even though it is smoky around here. 1070 in the Green
Day 14 Tues 7/27: 132.2 - Huge calorie burn yesterday, dance workout to warm up, HIIT with weights to follow, gardening/yard time before work and after work, plus the 300-400 that I usually burn at work running around. Back to start weight. 217 in the Green
Day 15 Wed 7/28: 132.1 55 in the Green
Day 16 Thurs 7/29: 134.8 - Ouch 595 in the Green
Day 17 Fri 7/30: 134.8 - Not happy about this of course, but taking it in stride. Hopefully my 500 deficit that I aim for will average out over the week, I haven't had time for workouts because of being wrapped up trying to fix my car issues. Spent the entire day yesterday buying a new one, but still have to deal with the dead one in the retail parking lot. On evening shifts for the next couple of weeks, so eating times are a challenge for me. 325 in the Green
Day 18 Sat 7/31: 133.8 - Down a pound since yesterday, carved out time to work out. My body will just have to get used to eating late after work. 866 in the Green

3rd Week Goal Weight: 131.1 - Aimed for this all last 100, starting there
3rd Week Actual Weight: 133.8 - Gain of 1.4 this week, don't want this to get away from me.
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): 4098


Day 19: Sun, 8/1: 132.9 - My internal clock is off working evening shifts, glad to see a tiny drop. Last week was kind of disastrous on the scale. I had planned an indulgent day after tonight's shift, we'll see. 243 in the Green
Day 20: Mon, 8/2: 133.3 - We had a bit of drizzle last night, hoping that it will help with the fires 574 in the Green
Day 21: Tues, 8/3: 133.3 - 738 in the Green
Day 22: Wed, 8/4: 132.9 - Maybe my body is getting used to the evening shifts and late dinner. 374 in the Green
Day 23: Thurs, 8/5: 132.8 - was planning some indulgence tonight after work, we'll see. 93 in the Green
Day 24: Fri, 8/6: 134.2 - Had wings last night, but also only 3 hours of sleep and water before weighing at 4am. I'm sure tomorrow's number will be better. Day off today, so will get lots of workouts and yard work done, not another day off until next Thursday. 371 in the Green
Day 25: Sat, 8/7: 134.3 - Wings again

4th Week Goal Weight: 131.1 -
4th Week Actual Weight: 134.3
Calorie Deficit (Green on the Tracker): Always shooting for an average of 500 per day in the Green - I don't lose weight otherwise, that is just my body.
