100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ January 30, 2022 through May 9, 2022
My Name is Donna, Age 61. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA




Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s




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

Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 195.2

Day 01…..01/30….197.6…..(Trend weight 194.6) Gaining 2 ½ pounds a day is crazy. Small drops in-between but then large 2 ½ lb leaps. Yesterday was pizza for lunch and pizza for dinner. Real Chocolate and regular milk. All bad news! I’ll work harder today. I’m not hitting the 200 mark again! I’ve worked too hard!
Day 02…..01/31…..197.0…..(Trend weight 194.9) This had GOT to be a better round and it’s not just for vain reasons. Health, health, health. Good luck Everyone. Let’s go get real proud of ourselves!

Day 03…..02/01…..197.0…..(Trend weight 195.1) No change. Grateful for no uptick. Yesterday was not perfect.

Day 04…..02/02…..197.4…..(Trend weight 195.3) Good meals. Bad snacks. No TMI. No exercise/movement worth noting. I did get on my exercise bike late night for what seemed like hours (probably about 5 minutes.) DGS work me up this morning at 5:10 so I am floating on just over 3 hours sleep and this is an early weigh-in. Nothing going right this morning. I hope the day gets better. At least I figured out how to fix his TV!

Day 05…..02/03…..195.8…..(Trend weight 195.4) Glad to see a better drop. A little frustrating going up big-time and down a smidgen at a time. But I know it’s all part of the soup and my choices are the main ingredient. As I’ve said before, we can’t outrun the fork or the spoon!

Day 06…..02/04…..196.4…..(Trend weight 195.5) Mexican tasted high sodium but I kept the rest of the day good. Lots of sleep last night but no TMI this morning worth nothing. Surprise restaurant food later from my daughter is coming. I will split it into late lunch and dinner if it’s big. Very very very low calorie burn, steps and miles yesterday according to my fitbit. A record low most likely!

Day 07…..02/05…..196.4…..(Trend weight 195.6) I had such a horrible binge last night that it was actually partially parked in my throat with no more room in the stomach. Likely the worst I’ve ever had with no understanding of what triggered me or why. It was a particularly difficult day babysitting the DGS. His fits are difficult. Could it be that? I’m not sure but I am shocked the scale did not reflect even an ounce (yet). I’m sure it’s coming for my scale soon!

Day 08…..02/06…..194.6…..(Trend weight 195.5) Nothing showed up from that horrid binge. Divine intervention or I’m still waiting? We shall see. In any case, it was the opposite affect. A nice drop on the scale. I did burn about 300 more calories than I have been of late due to normal unplanned busy circumstances. Smiling today and hoping I can stay on track. I’m going shopping at dollar store today for certain things I need. I’ve got to stay away from junk!

Day 09…..02/07…..195.4…..(Trend weight 195.5) I had a day yesterday that made me prouder than I have been in awhile. Scale tipped up from prior transgressions most likely, but trend weight is holding steady and I’m feeling pretty good. Last stages of Livingroom temporary project is completed but furniture will remain covered and a bit askew so that the new wall(s) can be put in. There is a header between the dining area and the livingroom that juts down and is stupid looking. I plan on making it a bit lower, building walls (small ones to keep the open concept idea) slightly arching both sides to tie into the rest of the general area and making it look more like a door header instead of a supporting beam. After the build it will be drywalled, primed and painted and trimmed out as needed. My guy is slow but dedicated. This will take way longer than it should. But it will be worth it. Tomorrow I go pick up a free jacuzzi jetted bathtub that has been given to me by my seamstress. I’m so happy to get this. I will use it in my master bathroom reno when we get there. THAT is going to be a big project! I’m moving my bedroom closets, taking the old closet space to widen the bathroom and moving ALL the plumbing and drains. It opens in the hallway now, but when completed, it will open from inside my bedroom to make it a master suite. There is the other full and newly remodeled bath nearby for the rest of the floor. I don’t need two as bad as I need one in my bedroom. I will lose some bedroom space but it’s 24 feet long and I’m only going to take around 2.5 feet of it so it is well worth it. That’s another day, another dollar though. Right now I need that horrible supporting beam addressed!

Day 10…..02/08…..193.4…..(Trend weight 195.3) A welcomed whoosh! Kept yesterday pretty clean. Sugar-free chocolate only!

Day 11…..02/09…..193.4…..(Trend weight 195.1) I am thrilled the whoosh is sticking. So, I didn’t expect much of a change today due to that whoosh. I will try to be thoughtful today and maybe move a little more if possible.

Day 12…..02/10…..196.0…..(Trend weight 195.2) My daughter bought pizza last night for us and a handyman that was working. 2.6 lbs for a reasonable amount of pizza! The rest of the day (earlier) was on point. Wow! That pizza tasted salty. Just not used to it, I guess!

Day 13…..02/11…..194.8…..(Trend weight 195.1) An okay day yesterday reflected better on the scale. Doctor appointments today for son & I for diabetes. Also for heart for me. They are going to send me to a heart and vascular center I guess. It doesn’t pay to flunk two EKG’s. They were supposed to do it late last fall but had trouble with insurance. Then I let it go due to all the holidays and then my brother’s death. Time to get things right with my heart now. I’ve gotten to the point where I am a little afraid to even exercise with all the sinking and fluttering I am feeling. Need answers.

Day 14…..02/12…..197.8…..(Trend weight 195.4) Fasted until 3:00 for doctor appointment/bloodwork. Then subway and cake. Cake twice. Did I take advantage of the fact I won’t have glucose checked by doctor for another 3 months? Probably. Regrets today.


Day 15……02/13…..197.4…..(Trend weight 195.6) I was so sick last night from all of this weeks bad choices. Pizza, Subway, Cake etc. All too rich. My body could not get enough water yesterday as it tried to flush everything out to save this diabetic from a hospital trip. My sugar read 438 an hour after my medication. I’m smarter than this. I just need to win this staring competition with my diabetes. I will not blink today!

Day 16…..02/14…..197.6…..(Trend weight 195.8) A great day yesterday which I am disappointed did not reflect on the scale. Over 14,000 steps, over 6 miles and 3047 calories burned overall including my normal expenditure. Diet was light and on-point. No cheats. The scale is playing games with me but I know if I stay on point it will eventually have to be honest. I was proud of yesterday. The numbers were all in hard work cleaning out master bdrm to get new bedroom set and that was a back and forth chore. But I worked really hard! Going thru lots of clothes today too. No point in putting back in things I’m not wearing or no longer like. I know I had some dietary cheats this week that are probably reflecting on the scale today. So today I pay the piper and hope for a better tomorrow.

Day 17…..02/15…..196.0…..(Trend weight 195.8) There’s the drop I was hoping for. Lots of calorie burn again yesterday still sorting through the bedroom. Lots of storage in there from the living room project that is underway so extra stuff ugh! Living room is moving right along. Drywall dusty but looking good. I’ve been keeping the diet on point and hope to keep up the momentum today. Going through more clothing and “STUFF” today so there should be a good calorie burn again.

Day 18…..02/16…..194.4…..(Trend weight 195.7) This is a couple of good days in a row of diet and movement finally showing up in a bigger better way. Yesterday was another very good day on both fronts until…..that late night bagel (Starving!) with honey butter on it and the handful of jolly ranchers (couple hundred calories?). Glad I didn’t sabotage the scale with it, unless it shows up later……To be continued.

Day 19…..02/17…..196.0…..(Trend weight 195.7) Up & Down by about a pound and a half over and over. It’s getting annoying. Diet on point all day. A little less movement than the prior couple of days but still not too bad. I’m thinking it’s those jolly ranchers from the other day. But still…..that is a big jump on the scale!


Day 20…..02/18…..194.2…..(Trend weight 195.6) Well, after what appeared to be a very serious house fire filled with smoke I found out that it was my well pump that burned up. Smoke got into the cold air register making the smoke get transferred to all 3 floors. Breathing was difficult but it was obvious it was something I could shut down at the electrical box. Now, no water until God Himself knows. Rural area here. Limited resources. Need a 1.5 HP jet deep well pump with dual inlet. Can’t seem to find one anywhere in America. I would like new, but I can’t even find one used. House size requires no less than that. And the well man (only one in my town) is not sure he knows how to even install this type. I have no idea what I am going to do at this point. Smdh. No answers.

Day 21…..02/19…..194.4…..(Trend weight 195.4) I just need water. To drink, to bathe, to do dishes, to do laundry, to wash my hands! No answers. Where are my husband and brother when you need them? Oh, that’s right. They are in heaven. Maybe God will help then. Prayers requested please.


Day 22…..02/20…..196.0…..(Trend weight 195.5) The up & down of the 1.5 pounds is really getting annoying! Great quantities yesterday. Steps & movement back up again. No snacks whatsoever. I think maybe it was the choices even though I am sure they were all within proper calorie levels. Gotta trust & move forward I guess.

Day 23…..02/21…..196.0…..(Trend weight 195.6) A better week for sure but the renovations are still limiting my ability to exercise or get in enough movement, as well as my privacy. My short term goal is to hit the 180’s again and then hang on for dear life. I am picturing the man from “Up” holding on to those balloons. I need to get moving, hang on for dear life but enjoy the ride! Oh, and I need to keep promises….even to myself.


Day 24…..02/22…..197.6…..(Trend weight 195.8) The well company never showed up for the appointment and never answered multiple calls. Pretty typical in my rural area. Not too many skilled trades like to travel to the multiple small towns that need service. My handyman put in a call to another company who said they would try to come today but we are in the midst of a winter storm warning with freezing rain and snow mix. I don’t know if they will come in this weather. Cortisol and stress eating and drinking last night (chocolate milk). The scale knows all your secrets.

The I don't give a dxxx attitude has got to stop. No more buying bakery cookies and eating a dozen. No more gobbling down chips at lunch and then snacking on them after dinner too. Eating out almost every day is also killing my good intentions. Mentally I'm a mess when it comes to wanting to lose the weight and it shows on the scale. I've gained back everything I lost in 2021.
Made my menu for this week. Plan to grocery shop today and put healthier items in the pantry. Also need to get back to more exercise ... slacking off on the walking because I'm driving into town more often to meet up with my daughter and daughter-in-law for lunch multiple days. No excuse ... I could still walk on these days.

Day 15: Sun: 2/13: 213.0 No exercise but busy all day meal planning, groceries, making decorations for baby shower, reading, visiting, etc. ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
Day 16: Mon: 2/14: 212.1 Walked 2.8 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Super Bowl and did fairly well food wise … since I brought the veggies & dips and boiled shrimp. Dinner grilled hamburger no bun.
Day 17: Tues: 2/15: 213.5 Walked 1.2 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, 1 glass wine.
Day 18: Wed: 2/16: 210.5 SICK (sinus infection tested negative for covid) all day Tuesday. No exercise. Lots of sleep. ? cal, ? net carbs, AF.
Day 19: Thurs: 2/17: 211.0 Walked .9 miles. Started my normal walk but then it started to rain. ? cal, ? net carbs, 1 margarita. Worked on my long to do list and led book club at a new restaurant we wanted to try out. Mexican food and it looks like it will be a popular place for our group in the future.
Day 20: Fri: 2/18: 211.9 Walked 2.9 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not a great eating day. Frozen pizza for lunch and then a pot pie for dinner. I did snack on bell pepper strips and carrots with black bean hummus as a snack.
Day 21: Sat: 2/19: 211.4 No walk, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. My son & DIL drove in from Austin to show us their new puppy. So much energy and you have to watch them all the time. But it was a wonderful socialization & intro to another dog since ours is calm and loving. They got a doberman w/ floppy ears and we have a standard poodle. Explosion of toys everywhere!
3rd Week Goal Weight: < 210
3rd Week Actual Weight: 211.4
2nd Week Weight Loss: 1.9

Day 22: Sun: 2/20: 212.1 Walked 2.9 + 1.3 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Completely lost my voice due to sinus infection. Took another covid PCR like test using CUE to ensure that DH and I do not have covid before leaving this morning to Baton Rouge. Did not want to expose everyone since there will be 3 sets of great grandparents, 3 sets of grandparents and lots of children under age 9 at the baptism.
Day 23: Mon: 2/21: DNW No exercise. Travel day for granddaughter’s baptism in Baton Rouge. Lots of cookies. 1 Bloody Mary @ brunch; 2 wine @ dinner
Day 24: Tues: 2/22: 213.8 Walked 2.8 miles, missed my Strength Training class since travel day. AF at book club in the evening but ate the entire meal and did not half it like I should. Still suffering from sinus infection.
Day 25: Wed: 2/23: DNW Walked .6 miles. AF! Taught class with very little vocal … which really makes it difficult for the adult students to understand me in the Learn English Ministry. Today we get my daughter’s dogs (2 golden doodles) while she and her husband go on vacation to celebrate her 30th birthday. How/When did I get old enough to have kids in their 30s? No getting enough sleep. This past week with the sinuses has made it very difficult to lie down and sleep. I’m a walking zombie and very much out of my routine of meal planning and exercise.

This is my 9th round on this forum, I joined it at 158.6


Day 15: Sun: 2/13: 139.0 - I didn't eat all day trying to mitigate Ribs from Friday. Dinner was not really nutritional, but kept the calories in check.
Day 16: Mon: 2/14: Spent the day continuing to empty and clean my friend's house that she has sold. Same as the day before, I basically did not eat during the day. I will get back to some more normal eating later this week, and then am planning a nice cleanse toward the end of the month to reset myself and figure out what foods should stay or go.
Day 17: Tues: 2/15: Missed forums, but kept tracking.
Day 18: Wed: 2/16: 139.2 - Getting back to my normal routine. My friend departed this morning for Calgary, and flies out of there in the wee hours tomorrow. Tearful and sad to see her go.
Day 19: Thurs: 2/17: 138.4 - Friday nights are usually when I have something indulgent to eat. Planning a cleanse on the 21st-28th. It basically ups certain foods and eliminates others. The idea is to clean out the organs and digestive system. I will detail it more later.
Day 20: Fri: 2/18: 138.2 - I have decided to postpone a nice cleanse until into March. I have so much food here from emptying out my friend's fridge and freezer before she moved, I don't want to bring in more stuff for the cleanse just yet.
Day 21: Sat: 2/19: 139.4 - Argh

3rd Week Goal Weight: 137
3rd Week Actual Weight: 139.4
Excess calories burned (Green on the MFP food tracker): 4410 - Surpassed my goal of 500 in the green on average.

Day 22: Sun: 2/20: 138.2 - Such a long way still to my ideal weight, healthy body weight. I feel like health becomes more important the older that we get, and weight is a huge part of that and something that is within our control.
Day 23: Mon: 2/21: 138.8 - Either a fluctuation or still paying for Friday eve. It is a holiday here today, glad to be working, extra $$ for a stat holiday.
Day 24: Tues: 2/22: Missed
Day 25: Wed: 2/23: 138.2 - Going to have a steak and prawns for dinner tonight. This cold snap has really affected my joints this time around, especially my hands. I will loosen up the other joints with bouts of Fitness Marshall throughout the day. Got to keep it all greased right?

Day 14…..02/12…..197.8…..(Trend weight 195.4)
Day 15……02/13…..197.4…..(Trend weight 195.6)

Day 16…..02/14…..197.6…..(Trend weight 195.8) A great day yesterday which I am disappointed did not reflect on the scale. Over 14,000 steps, over 6 miles and 3047 calories burned overall including my normal expenditure. Diet was light and on-point. No cheats. The scale is playing games with me but I know if I stay on point it will eventually have to be honest. I was proud of yesterday. The numbers were all in hard work cleaning out master bdrm to get new bedroom set and that was a back and forth chore. But I worked really hard! Going thru lots of clothes today too. No point in putting back in things I’m not wearing or no longer like. I know I had some dietary cheats this week that are probably reflecting on the scale today. So today I pay the piper and hope for a better tomorrow.

Day 17…..02/15…..196.0…..(Trend weight 195.8) There’s the drop I was hoping for. Lots of calorie burn again yesterday still sorting through the bedroom. Lots of storage in there from the living room project that is underway so extra stuff ugh! Living room is moving right along. Drywall dusty but looking good. I’ve been keeping the diet on point and hope to keep up the momentum today. Going through more clothing and “STUFF” today so there should be a good calorie burn again.

Day 18…..02/16…..194.4…..(Trend weight 195.7) This is a couple of good days in a row of diet and movement finally showing up in a bigger better way. Yesterday was another very good day on both fronts until…..that late night bagel (Starving!) with honey butter on it and the handful of jolly ranchers (couple hundred calories?). Glad I didn’t sabotage the scale with it, unless it shows up later……To be continued.

Day 19…..02/17…..196.0…..(Trend weight 195.7) Up & Down by about a pound and a half over and over. It’s getting annoying. Diet on point all day. A little less movement than the prior couple of days but still not too bad. I’m thinking it’s those jolly ranchers from the other day. But still…..that is a big jump on the scale!


Day 20…..02/18…..194.2…..(Trend weight 195.6) Well, after what appeared to be a very serious house fire filled with smoke I found out that it was my well pump that burned up. Smoke got into the cold air register making the smoke get transferred to all 3 floors. Breathing was difficult but it was obvious it was something I could shut down at the electrical box. Now, no water until God Himself knows. Rural area here. Limited resources. Need a 1.5 HP jet deep well pump with dual inlet. Can’t seem to find one anywhere in America. I would like new, but I can’t even find one used. House size requires no less than that. And the well man (only one in my town) is not sure he knows how to even install this type. I have no idea what I am going to do at this point. Smdh. No answers.

Day 21…..02/19…..194.4…..(Trend weight 195.4) I just need water. To drink, to bathe, to do dishes, to do laundry, to wash my hands! No answers. Where are my husband and brother when you need them? Oh, that’s right. They are in heaven. Maybe God will help then. Prayers requested please.


Day 22…..02/20…..196.0…..(Trend weight 195.5) The up & down of the 1.5 pounds is really getting annoying! Great quantities yesterday. Steps & movement back up again. No snacks whatsoever. I think maybe it was the choices even though I am sure they were all within proper calorie levels. Gotta trust & move forward I guess.

Day 23…..02/21…..196.0…..(Trend weight 195.6) A better week for sure but the renovations are still limiting my ability to exercise or get in enough movement, as well as my privacy. My short term goal is to hit the 180’s again and then hang on for dear life. I am picturing the man from “Up” holding on to those balloons. I need to get moving, hang on for dear life but enjoy the ride! Oh, and I need to keep promises….even to myself.


Day 24…..02/22…..197.6…..(Trend weight 195.8) The well company never showed up for the appointment and never answered multiple calls. Pretty typical in my rural area. Not too many skilled trades like to travel to the multiple small towns that need service. My handyman put in a call to another company who said they would try to come today but we are in the midst of a winter storm warning with freezing rain and snow mix. I don’t know if they will come in this weather. Cortisol and stress eating and drinking last night (chocolate milk). The scale knows all your secrets.


Day 25…..02/23…..196.4…..(Trend weight 195.8) Very low calorie burn yesterday but the diet was better. The other well company showed up bright & early this morning. This will cost way more than I planned and they are trying to figure out if a new type of pump (vertical) jet pump will fit in the space as they feel that will be more efficient than the horizontal pump that I have right now. They will call me later. Hopefully all will go well and they can get me on their schedule soon. Jury duty, however, tomorrow and Friday unless the evening call to the court house tells me the trial is off. Life is a tangled ball of yarn right now but it sounds like the knots are closer to being out. Continue prayers please and thanks to everyone for the well wishes.


Day 26…..02/24…..198.0…..(Trend weight 196.0) Alarming! Looking back, yesterday was actually a pretty good day. Not perfect but pretty good all around. I’m truly not sure what happened. I’ll see what the scale tomorrow brings. And Water…..I have water. The new company responded quickly. It was expensive and there is no doubt I will need a new well at some point, but I’m going to make this nearly $3000.00 spent count for awhile. Happy camper here. Jury duty was cancelled for today. I’m not sure about tomorrow yet. I have to call the court house later.

This is my 9th round on this forum, I joined it at 158.6


Day 22: Sun: 2/20: 138.2 - Such a long way still to my ideal weight, healthy body weight. I feel like health becomes more important the older that we get, and weight is a huge part of that and something that is within our control.
Day 23: Mon: 2/21: 138.8 - Either a fluctuation or still paying for Friday eve. It is a holiday here today, glad to be working, extra $$ for a stat holiday.
Day 24: Tues: 2/22: Missed
Day 25: Wed: 2/23: 138.2 - Going to have a steak and prawns for dinner tonight. This cold snap has really affected my joints this time around, especially my hands. I will loosen up the other joints with bouts of Fitness Marshall throughout the day. Got to keep it all greased right?
Day 26: Thurs: 2/24: 139.6 - Calories on point all week, activity on point. These fluctuations would be easier to take if they were in the 120s. I will get there one day. Late night ahead tonight.
Day 27: Fri: 2/25: 138.6 - Fridays after work are usually my indulgent day. Too bad our weeks on here always fall on a Saturday morning
Day 28: Sat: 2/26:

4th Week Goal Weight: 135
4th Week Actual Weight:
Excess calories burned (Green on the MFP food tracker):

Day 24: Tues: 2/22: 213.2- yesterday was off since I barely slept and then yesterday I had a salad for lunch and went to bed after work without dinner since I was so tired.
Day 25: Wed: 2/23: 211.6 - gotta love the first week woosh
Day 26: Thurs: 2/24: DNW
Day 27: Fri: 2/25: 213- had a girls night and getting back into the groove. Hoping most will fall off because I didn’t think I did that bad.
