    I am Dawn. 61yrs old, 5'2"
    Ideal healthy body weight for my stats is 112. Many rounds away from that, and quite honestly I would be happy to get to 118 some day.
    I would really like to lose 7 pounds this round.

    I lost 1.8 pounds the last 100, which was a departure from gaining in the last 4 of them.


    1st Week Goal Weight: 135.0
    1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8
    Excess calories burned (in the green): Shorter week, 1874, which only averages to 372.8 per day, less than usual

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 135.0 - seems ambitious.
    2nd Week Actual Weight: No idea, wonky scale on holiday with me read 48 pounds
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 5167 - very happy with that.

    3rd Week Goal Weight: N/A
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 138.3 - had Ribs this week
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 3976. Even after having a RED from Ribs, I still averaged 568 per day overall.

    4th Week Goal Weight: 136.1
    4th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 3568 - Not as much as usual, and it is reflected in my weight.


    5th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
    5th Week Actual Weight: 139.4 - lunch out contributed to this gain.
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 4477 - 639.5 daily average

    Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 139.4 - Playing catch up with so many things around the house after getting behind with the eye injury. I play catch up at the best of times, this is just moreso. Lots on the agenda today, grass cutting, planting, cleaning, laundry etc. I have had lots of activity over the weekend, but also had cocktails, so hoping that this weight will drop off this week.

    100 Days of Accountability 5/10-8/17
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

    Female, Age 61, 5’3”
    Challenge Starting Weight: 216.4 (5/9)
    Challenge Goal: <200
    History & Goals
    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:

    * Onederland: 199
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195


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

    My goal for 2022 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
    Plans:
    🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
    🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
    🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
    🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
    🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)


    Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment

    Day 1: Tues, 5/10: 216.5 No exercise. 1532 cal (-180 red), 66 net carbs, 1.5 glass wine. DH & I tested positive on Tuesday 5/3 for COVID19. We quarantined per CDC for 5 days. I was asymptomatic except for a headache the first day and then tested negative for Covid on Monday 5/9 so I’ve been cleared. DH still has flu like symptoms and tested positive on Mon. We are using the CUE system which is a PCR like test that DH’s company provided employees.
    Day 2: Wed, 5/11: 216.4 Short walk .6 miles. 1725 cal (-346 red), 45 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
    Day 3: Thurs, 5/12: 216.4 No exercise. Played with my 4 month old granddaughter instead :) 1631 cal (-330 red), 107 net carbs, 2 glass wine. Lunch at Mexican restaurant with DIL where we split fajitas making salads and neither of us at the rice, beans or tortillas. But of course we ate chips! Happy that the scale did not blow up on that minor splurge.
    Day 4: Fri, 5/13: 218.4 Cancelled our trip. DH still has congestion and fatigue from his bout of COVID. My students from ESL class gave me a dozen beautiful roses :) No exercise. 1839 cal ( -507), 126 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Blew my focus on healthy eating … sabotaging myself with fried okra & cornbread for lunch and pizza at dinner! What am I thinking!
    Day 5: Sat, 5/14: 217.3 Walk 3.2 miles. Why can’t I get back into the groove. I know my knee hurts but that is not excuse for skipping my strength class! 1562 cal (-73 green), 93 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not bad given that DH & I picked up lunch and took it over to our daughter today to check on her … she had the pregnancy blues. Made up for it with salmon with spinach & white beans easy light dinner.

    1st Week Goal Weight: <215
    1st Week Actual Weight: 217.3
    1st Week Weight GAIN: .9
    Success this week is that I actually journaled every bite and started walking a little again.

    Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
    Day 6: Sun, 5/15: 217.5 Walked 3.7 miles, trimmed bushes. 1624 cal (59 green), 91 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
    Day 7: Mon, 5/16: 217.2 No exercise. Did not even wear my Apple Watch so no credit for steps either. 2518 cal (-1218 red), 164 net carbs, 2 glasses wine, 2 bourbon & diet cokes, THREE cupcakes! Did okay until DH asked for me to cook a dessert and I made something I liked too. Sent home most of the cupcakes with my kids after dinner. Thought about not completing my journal but then I didn’t want to get into bad habits so reporting in the mess of a day!
    Day 8: Tues, 5/17: 219.2
    Day 9: Wed, 5/18: 219.1 Strength Class 1 hr
    Day 10: Thurs, 5/19: 219.4 Walked 3.2 miles
    Day 11: Fri, 5/20: 219.2 Strength Class 1 hr
    Day 12: Sat, 5/21: 218.4 Walked .5 miles, Strength Class 1 hr

    2nd Week Goal Weight: <215
    2ndWeek Actual Weight: 218.4
    1st Week Weight GAIN: 1.1
    Success with picking back up on my Strong & Fit classes again but my walking is still a struggle in the heat. My knee feels a little better and I think the lunges and squats are helping. However, I blew off journaling every bite because I was eating everything. That has to stop! Starting to journal again this morning.

    Day 13: Sun, 5/22: 218.4 Walked 2.6 to drop off library book instead of taking the car. 2041 cal (-397 red), 146 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Spent most of the day practicing both sketching and spanish.
    Day 14: Mon, 5/23: 219.5 Walk 1.25 miles. 1701 cal (-227 red), 132 net carbs, AF. Pancakes for breakfast and hamburger w/ tater tots for dinner blew up my carb count for the day.

    Day 16: Wed, 5/25: 218.3 Strength training class 1 hr, 2534 cal (-1010 red), 256 net carbs, 3 glasses of wine but the real indulgence was the 5 homemade pumpkin cookies!

    Day 20: Sun, 5/29: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 with my sister cleaning out mom’s house since she has an offer … mom will move into my smaller house next door if the sell goes through. Tons of stuff there as she loved shopping garage sales and it was my grandfathers before. The house has been in the family since 1954 and it grew organically with many additions and remodels over the years.
    Managing my mother’s expectations and the entire situation has been really challenging and I’ve totally derailed on my weight loss journey losing all focus on myself.
    Day 21: Mon, 5/30: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣
    Day 22: Tues, 5/31: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣

    Day 28: Mon, 6/6: 219.1 Walked 3.2 miles
    Day 29: Tues, 6/7: DNW
    Day 30: Wed, 6/8: 219.8 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr. Heading in the wrong direction while eating cookies, Cheetos, and cornbread. Really need to clean up my eating habits and clear my mind of the junk that has me turning to comfort food. TODAY is a good day to start!
    Day 31: Thurs, 6/9: 219.0 Walked .8 miles. My normal 3 mile walk was cut short by a call from my sister. She had an allergic reaction to the dye in her annual CT scan. So I turned around hurried home and picked her up. She came to my house to rest in bed till noon then felt better but still had a headache. She is the only one of our family that still has the symptoms (fatigue, drainage down the throat, etc) from Covid well over a month ago. She is also the one in the poorest health having had stage 4 breast cancer 15 years ago. She is fine but went to bed still with the headache last night.
    Then after lunch my 37 weeks pregnant daughter calls. She lost her mucus plug with lots of blood, scared her, went home from work and called the doctor. So she too was resting with her feet up.
    DH & I babysat my granddaughter at their house while the parents had a movie & sushi date night :)
    More calls and setting up viewings of my mom’s home.
    Overall I’m not sure where the day went but I accomplished nothing on my todo list! I also didn’t snack!
    Day 32: Fri, 6/10: DNW Walked 1 mile, Strength Training 1 hr.
    Day 33: Sat, 6/11: 219.0 No Exercise. Busy day but lazy and did not join my Strength Training class.

    Interesting Quote: “I feel like I’m constantly worrying about the next part of my life without realizing that I’m right in the middle of what I used to look forward to.”

    Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
    Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 220.1 Walked 4 miles. Wrong direction! Do NOT like seeing that number. When am I going to start focusing on me? Problem last few nights … Asleep before 10pm but I’m up and totally awake around 3-4 which is not healthy for me. So many things running through my mind that I have no control over … selling my mom’s house, my daughter is due any day, caring for my son’s dogs this weekend. At least I did get out and walk the dogs! Caught up the laundry, grocery shopped, menu planned. Today I’ll focus on me myself and I.
    Day 35: Mon, 6/13: 219.0 Walked 3 miles. Much of what I did today was again for the sell of my mom’s home following up with the buyer and their questions after the inspection on Friday. BUT I did walk, wash my hair, file my nails, color a mosaic mandala, read and cooked 3 new meals (breakfast lunch & dinner). Baby steps focusing on me.

    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 4.4 GAIN


    Day 29…..06/07…..205.0…..(Trend weight 204.1) I need to lose 10 pounds just to be comfortable in my clothes. Focusing on that first. The first 10 will require the most changes in habits and the most dedication and resolve. Still no good kitchen and lots of travel in the picture this month. This won’t be easy but it never is.


    Day 30…..06/08…..204.4…..(Trend weight 204.1) Traveling shortly for a root canal. Oh Joy!

    Day 31…..06/09…..205.4…..(Trend weight 204.3) Dentist couldn’t finish the root canal. He found two extra pathways and one of them sideways so after drilling and finding all that, he filled the hole with cotton, put in temp filling, ordered me an antibiotic and is sending me to an endodentist/endodontist. I’ll be calling to make that appt today for asap. Apparently he is located in the same city as the dentist. Got in some shopping and obviously some lunch. My older lady friend went with me and it was nice to spend the day with her.

    Day 32…..06/10…..204.8…..(Trend weight 204.3) Travel today for building supplies. Maybe finally getting more done in the reno? Yay!

    Day 33…..06/11…..205.6…..(Trend weight 204.5) All the travel catching up to me? Yesterday was not a bad day at all, even in travel. More travel on Monday and again Tuesday for that heart doctor consultation. I’ve got to move more without getting out of breath to mitigate all the car sitting! Truly surprised at the scale. I ordered a reuben sandwich which came with fries. I didn’t eat the fries and I only ate a little over half the sandwich. But like @dawbegethealthy said…..restaurant food. Drats!


    Day 34…..06/12…..206.0…..(Trend weight 204.6) No words. Travel tomorrow and Tuesday. I’ve been traveling so much I have not been able to take my water pill, this may be contributing.



    Day 35…..06/13…..205.6…..(Trend weight 204.7) Travel today for my friend’s dr appointment. Also getting in some shopping while in the city. Weight down a touch today but bound to go back up with the travels out of town today and tomorrow. I still need to move more but my breathing remains labored. Tomorrow is my heart doctor appointment. I hope for answers.

    @deepwoodslady

    Best of luck with the new doc tomorrow. He will likely do a whole bunch of fitness testing, bloodwork, blood pressure and stuff?
    I hope that you get some answers <3<3

    I am Dawn. 61yrs old, 5'2"
    Ideal healthy body weight for my stats is 112. Many rounds away from that, and quite honestly I would be happy to get to 118 some day.
    I would really like to lose 7 pounds this round.

    I lost 1.8 pounds the last 100, which was a departure from gaining in the last 4 of them.


    1st Week Goal Weight: 135.0
    1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8
    Excess calories burned (in the green): Shorter week, 1874, which only averages to 372.8 per day, less than usual

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 135.0 - seems ambitious.
    2nd Week Actual Weight: No idea, wonky scale on holiday with me read 48 pounds
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 5167 - very happy with that.

    3rd Week Goal Weight: N/A
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 138.3 - had Ribs this week
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 3976. Even after having a RED from Ribs, I still averaged 568 per day overall.

    4th Week Goal Weight: 136.1
    4th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 3568 - Not as much as usual, and it is reflected in my weight.


    5th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
    5th Week Actual Weight: 139.4 - lunch out contributed to this gain.
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 4477 - 639.5 daily average

    Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 139.4 - Playing catch up with so many things around the house after getting behind with the eye injury. I play catch up at the best of times, this is just moreso. Lots on the agenda today, grass cutting, planting, cleaning, laundry etc. I have had lots of activity over the weekend, but also had cocktails, so hoping that this weight will drop off this week.
    Day 35: Mon, 6/13: 139.5 - It is a full 30c colder than last year at this time. Historically this should be the perfect time for peppers and tomatoes to set their flowers. Pouring rain here. Glad that I worked my butt off in the yard yesterday. Expecting (hoping for) some dramatic weight loss over the next few days.
    Day 36: Tues, 6/14:
    Day 37: Wed, 6/15:
    Day 38: Thurs, 6/16:
    Day 39: Fri, 6/17:
    Day 40: Sat, 6/18:

    6th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
    6th Week Actual Weight:
    Excess calories burned (in the green):

    Start weight for this round: 136.0
    Goal weight for this round 129.0

    100 Days of Accountability 5/10-8/17
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

    Female, Age 61, 5’3”
    Challenge Starting Weight: 216.4 (5/9)
    Challenge Goal: <200
    History & Goals
    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
    * Prior to Oct roadtrip damage: 205
    * Onederland: 199
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195


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

    My goal for 2022 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
    Plans:
    🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
    🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
    🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
    🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
    🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)


    Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment

    Day 1: Tues, 5/10: 216.5 No exercise. 1532 cal (-180 red), 66 net carbs, 1.5 glass wine. DH & I tested positive on Tuesday 5/3 for COVID19. We quarantined per CDC for 5 days. I was asymptomatic except for a headache the first day and then tested negative for Covid on Monday 5/9 so I’ve been cleared. DH still has flu like symptoms and tested positive on Mon. We are using the CUE system which is a PCR like test that DH’s company provided employees.
    Day 2: Wed, 5/11: 216.4 Short walk .6 miles. 1725 cal (-346 red), 45 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
    Day 3: Thurs, 5/12: 216.4 No exercise. Played with my 4 month old granddaughter instead :) 1631 cal (-330 red), 107 net carbs, 2 glass wine. Lunch at Mexican restaurant with DIL where we split fajitas making salads and neither of us at the rice, beans or tortillas. But of course we ate chips! Happy that the scale did not blow up on that minor splurge.
    Day 4: Fri, 5/13: 218.4 Cancelled our trip. DH still has congestion and fatigue from his bout of COVID. My students from ESL class gave me a dozen beautiful roses :) No exercise. 1839 cal ( -507), 126 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Blew my focus on healthy eating … sabotaging myself with fried okra & cornbread for lunch and pizza at dinner! What am I thinking!
    Day 5: Sat, 5/14: 217.3 Walk 3.2 miles. Why can’t I get back into the groove. I know my knee hurts but that is not excuse for skipping my strength class! 1562 cal (-73 green), 93 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not bad given that DH & I picked up lunch and took it over to our daughter today to check on her … she had the pregnancy blues. Made up for it with salmon with spinach & white beans easy light dinner.

    1st Week Goal Weight: <215
    1st Week Actual Weight: 217.3
    1st Week Weight GAIN: .9
    Success this week is that I actually journaled every bite and started walking a little again.

    Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
    Day 6: Sun, 5/15: 217.5 Walked 3.7 miles, trimmed bushes. 1624 cal (59 green), 91 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
    Day 7: Mon, 5/16: 217.2 No exercise. Did not even wear my Apple Watch so no credit for steps either. 2518 cal (-1218 red), 164 net carbs, 2 glasses wine, 2 bourbon & diet cokes, THREE cupcakes! Did okay until DH asked for me to cook a dessert and I made something I liked too. Sent home most of the cupcakes with my kids after dinner. Thought about not completing my journal but then I didn’t want to get into bad habits so reporting in the mess of a day!
    Day 8: Tues, 5/17: 219.2
    Day 9: Wed, 5/18: 219.1 Strength Class 1 hr
    Day 10: Thurs, 5/19: 219.4 Walked 3.2 miles

    2nd Week Goal Weight: <215
    2ndWeek Actual Weight: 218.4
    1st Week Weight GAIN: 1.1
    Success with picking back up on my Strong & Fit classes again but my walking is still a struggle in the heat. My knee feels a little better and I think the lunges and squats are helping. However, I blew off journaling every bite because I was eating everything. That has to stop! Starting to journal again this morning.

    Day 13: Sun, 5/22: 218.4 Walked 2.6 to drop off library book instead of taking the car. 2041 cal (-397 red), 146 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Spent most of the day practicing both sketching and spanish.
    Day 14: Mon, 5/23: 219.5 Walk 1.25 miles. 1701 cal (-227 red), 132 net carbs, AF. Pancakes for breakfast and hamburger w/ tater tots for dinner blew up my carb count for the day.
    Day 15: Tues, 5/24: 218.1 Walked 2+1 miles, 1420 cal (-120 red), 42 net carbs, AF.
    Day 16: Wed, 5/25: 218.3 Strength training class 1 hr, 2534 cal (-1010 red), 256 net carbs, 3 glasses of wine but the real indulgence was the 5 homemade pumpkin cookies!

    Day 20: Sun, 5/29: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 with my sister cleaning out mom’s house since she has an offer … mom will move into my smaller house next door if the sell goes through. Tons of stuff there as she loved shopping garage sales and it was my grandfathers before. The house has been in the family since 1954 and it grew organically with many additions and remodels over the years.
    Managing my mother’s expectations and the entire situation has been really challenging and I’ve totally derailed on my weight loss journey losing all focus on myself.

    Day 30: Wed, 6/8: 219.8 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr. Heading in the wrong direction while eating cookies, Cheetos, and cornbread. Really need to clean up my eating habits and clear my mind of the junk that has me turning to comfort food. TODAY is a good day to start!
    Day 31: Thurs, 6/9: 219.0 Walked .8 miles. My normal 3 mile walk was cut short by a call from my sister. She had an allergic reaction to the dye in her annual CT scan. So I turned around hurried home and picked her up. She came to my house to rest in bed till noon then felt better but still had a headache. She is the only one of our family that still has the symptoms (fatigue, drainage down the throat, etc) from Covid well over a month ago. She is also the one in the poorest health having had stage 4 breast cancer 15 years ago. She is fine but went to bed still with the headache last night.
    Then after lunch my 37 weeks pregnant daughter calls. She lost her mucus plug with lots of blood, scared her, went home from work and called the doctor. So she too was resting with her feet up.
    DH & I babysat my granddaughter at their house while the parents had a movie & sushi date night :)
    More calls and setting up viewings of my mom’s home.
    Overall I’m not sure where the day went but I accomplished nothing on my todo list! I also didn’t snack!
    Day 32: Fri, 6/10: DNW Walked 1 mile, Strength Training 1 hr.
    Day 33: Sat, 6/11: 219.0 No Exercise. Busy day but lazy and did not join my Strength Training class.

    Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 220.1 Walked 4 miles. Wrong direction! Do NOT like seeing that number. When am I going to start focusing on me? Problem last few nights … Asleep before 10pm but I’m up and totally awake around 3-4 which is not healthy for me. So many things running through my mind that I have no control over … selling my mom’s house, my daughter is due any day, caring for my son’s dogs this weekend. At least I did get out and walk the dogs! Caught up the laundry, grocery shopped, menu planned. Today I’ll focus on me myself and I.
    Day 35: Mon, 6/13: 219.0 Walked 3 miles. Much of what I did today was again for the sell of my mom’s home following up with the buyer and their questions after the inspection on Friday. BUT I did walk, wash my hair, file my nails, color a mosaic mandala, read and cooked 3 new meals (breakfast lunch & dinner). Baby steps focusing on me.
    Day 36: Tues, 6/14: 219.2 Walked 3.2 miles. WAY TOO MUCH snacking through stress today. Attended morning spanish class, afternoon sketching class (I’m definitely the amateur!), evening spanish assessment for another M & W evening class with DH, many calls and scheduling for my mom’s house, lots of interruptions while in classes.
    ALSO my daughter started having minor contractions but no baby movement … they went to the hospital to make sure the baby was okay and were sent home to continue the early labor after finding the baby’s strong heartbeat and the monitor recognizing more contractions that my daughter was feeling. She thought they were 10 min apart but they were 6 min apart, 2cc dilated, 80% effaced. Exciting that their baby due July 1 with a scheduled inducement for June 23 will likely be earlier than expected. Good news because they are having what the doctor predicts as a big baby.

    I am Dawn. 61yrs old, 5'2"
    Ideal healthy body weight for my stats is 112. Many rounds away from that, and quite honestly I would be happy to get to 118 some day.
    I would really like to lose 7 pounds this round.

    I lost 1.8 pounds the last 100, which was a departure from gaining in the last 4 of them.


    1st Week Goal Weight: 135.0
    1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8
    Excess calories burned (in the green): Shorter week, 1874, which only averages to 372.8 per day, less than usual

    2nd Week Goal Weight: 135.0 - seems ambitious.
    2nd Week Actual Weight: No idea, wonky scale on holiday with me read 48 pounds
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 5167 - very happy with that.

    3rd Week Goal Weight: N/A
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 138.3 - had Ribs this week
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 3976. Even after having a RED from Ribs, I still averaged 568 per day overall.

    4th Week Goal Weight: 136.1
    4th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 3568 - Not as much as usual, and it is reflected in my weight.


    5th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
    5th Week Actual Weight: 139.4 - lunch out contributed to this gain.
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 4477 - 639.5 daily average

    Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 139.4 - Playing catch up with so many things around the house after getting behind with the eye injury. I play catch up at the best of times, this is just moreso. Lots on the agenda today, grass cutting, planting, cleaning, laundry etc. I have had lots of activity over the weekend, but also had cocktails, so hoping that this weight will drop off this week.
    Day 35: Mon, 6/13: 139.5 - It is a full 30c colder than last year at this time. Historically this should be the perfect time for peppers and tomatoes to set their flowers. Pouring rain here. Glad that I worked my butt off in the yard yesterday. Expecting (hoping for) some dramatic weight loss over the next few days.
    Day 36: Tues, 6/14: 138.4 - It would be great to see a drop like that again tomorrow. Staying diligent.
    Day 37: Wed, 6/15:
    Day 38: Thurs, 6/16:
    Day 39: Fri, 6/17:
    Day 40: Sat, 6/18:

    6th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
    6th Week Actual Weight:
    Excess calories burned (in the green):

    Start weight for this round: 136.0
    Goal weight for this round 129.0

    100 Days of Accountability 5/10-8/17
    I need to quit losing the same pounds over and over. If you are tired of starting over, STOP giving up.

    Female, Age 61, 5’3”
    Challenge Starting Weight: 216.4 (5/9)
    Challenge Goal: <200
    History & Goals
    Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
    Ultimate Lifetime Goal: Weigh Less Each Year Than the Last
    2019 SW: 245 BMI 43.4 (1/2/2019) Lost 15 lbs in 2019 then regained 5
    2020 SW: 235 BMI 41.6 (1/1/2020) Then back up to 241 before refocusing in Aug
    2021 SW: 212 BMI 37.6 (1/1/2021) NOTE: Low 201.1 in August 2021
    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022)
    UGW: 165 BMI 29.2 Overweight NOT Obese
    🎯 Mini Goals & Weight:
    * Prior to Oct roadtrip damage: 205
    * Onederland: 199
    * Obese stage 1 BMI 34.9: 197
    * 50 lbs lost never to be found: 195


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

    My goal for 2022 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
    Plans:
    🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
    🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
    🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020)
    🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
    🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)


    Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment

    Day 1: Tues, 5/10: 216.5 No exercise. 1532 cal (-180 red), 66 net carbs, 1.5 glass wine. DH & I tested positive on Tuesday 5/3 for COVID19. We quarantined per CDC for 5 days. I was asymptomatic except for a headache the first day and then tested negative for Covid on Monday 5/9 so I’ve been cleared. DH still has flu like symptoms and tested positive on Mon. We are using the CUE system which is a PCR like test that DH’s company provided employees.
    Day 2: Wed, 5/11: 216.4 Short walk .6 miles. 1725 cal (-346 red), 45 net carbs, 2 glass wine.
    Day 3: Thurs, 5/12: 216.4 No exercise. Played with my 4 month old granddaughter instead :) 1631 cal (-330 red), 107 net carbs, 2 glass wine. Lunch at Mexican restaurant with DIL where we split fajitas making salads and neither of us at the rice, beans or tortillas. But of course we ate chips! Happy that the scale did not blow up on that minor splurge.
    Day 4: Fri, 5/13: 218.4 Cancelled our trip. DH still has congestion and fatigue from his bout of COVID. My students from ESL class gave me a dozen beautiful roses :) No exercise. 1839 cal ( -507), 126 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Blew my focus on healthy eating … sabotaging myself with fried okra & cornbread for lunch and pizza at dinner! What am I thinking!
    Day 5: Sat, 5/14: 217.3 Walk 3.2 miles. Why can’t I get back into the groove. I know my knee hurts but that is not excuse for skipping my strength class! 1562 cal (-73 green), 93 net carbs, 2 glasses wine. Not bad given that DH & I picked up lunch and took it over to our daughter today to check on her … she had the pregnancy blues. Made up for it with salmon with spinach & white beans easy light dinner.

    1st Week Goal Weight: <215
    1st Week Actual Weight: 217.3
    1st Week Weight GAIN: .9
    Success this week is that I actually journaled every bite and started walking a little again.

    Day 6: Sun, 5/15: 217.5 Walked 3.7 miles, trimmed bushes. 1624 cal (59 green), 91 net carbs, 2 glasses wine.
    Day 7: Mon, 5/16: 217.2 No exercise. Did not even wear my Apple Watch so no credit for steps either. 2518 cal (-1218 red), 164 net carbs, 2 glasses wine, 2 bourbon & diet cokes, THREE cupcakes! Did okay until DH asked for me to cook a dessert and I made something I liked too. Sent home most of the cupcakes with my kids after dinner. Thought about not completing my journal but then I didn’t want to get into bad habits so reporting in the mess of a day!
    Day 8: Tues, 5/17: 219.2
    Day 9: Wed, 5/18: 219.1 Strength Class 1 hr
    Day 10: Thurs, 5/19: 219.4 Walked 3.2 miles

    1st Week Weight GAIN: 1.1
    Success with picking back up on my Strong & Fit classes again but my walking is still a struggle in the heat. My knee feels a little better and I think the lunges and squats are helping. However, I blew off journaling every bite because I was eating everything. That has to stop! Starting to journal again this morning.

    Day 13: Sun, 5/22: 218.4 Walked 2.6 to drop off library book instead of taking the car. 2041 cal (-397 red), 146 net carbs, 3 glasses wine. Spent most of the day practicing both sketching and spanish.
    Day 14: Mon, 5/23: 219.5 Walk 1.25 miles. 1701 cal (-227 red), 132 net carbs, AF. Pancakes for breakfast and hamburger w/ tater tots for dinner blew up my carb count for the day.

    Day 20: Sun, 5/29: DNW @ fishing camp 🎣 with my sister cleaning out mom’s house since she has an offer … mom will move into my smaller house next door if the sell goes through. Tons of stuff there as she loved shopping garage sales and it was my grandfathers before. The house has been in the family since 1954 and it grew organically with many additions and remodels over the years.
    Managing my mother’s expectations and the entire situation has been really challenging and I’ve totally derailed on my weight loss journey losing all focus on myself.

    Day 30: Wed, 6/8: 219.8 Walked .6 miles, Strength Training 1 hr. Heading in the wrong direction while eating cookies, Cheetos, and cornbread. Really need to clean up my eating habits and clear my mind of the junk that has me turning to comfort food. TODAY is a good day to start!
    Day 31: Thurs, 6/9: 219.0 Walked .8 miles. My normal 3 mile walk was cut short by a call from my sister. She had an allergic reaction to the dye in her annual CT scan. So I turned around hurried home and picked her up. She came to my house to rest in bed till noon then felt better but still had a headache. She is the only one of our family that still has the symptoms (fatigue, drainage down the throat, etc) from Covid well over a month ago. She is also the one in the poorest health having had stage 4 breast cancer 15 years ago. She is fine but went to bed still with the headache last night.
    Then after lunch my 37 weeks pregnant daughter calls. She lost her mucus plug with lots of blood, scared her, went home from work and called the doctor. So she too was resting with her feet up.
    DH & I babysat my granddaughter at their house while the parents had a movie & sushi date night :)
    More calls and setting up viewings of my mom’s home.
    Overall I’m not sure where the day went but I accomplished nothing on my todo list! I also didn’t snack!
    Day 32: Fri, 6/10: DNW Walked 1 mile, Strength Training 1 hr.
    Day 33: Sat, 6/11: 219.0 No Exercise. Busy day but lazy and did not join my Strength Training class.

    Day 34: Sun, 6/12: 220.1 Walked 4 miles. Wrong direction! Do NOT like seeing that number. When am I going to start focusing on me? Problem last few nights … Asleep before 10pm but I’m up and totally awake around 3-4 which is not healthy for me. So many things running through my mind that I have no control over … selling my mom’s house, my daughter is due any day, caring for my son’s dogs this weekend. At least I did get out and walk the dogs! Caught up the laundry, grocery shopped, menu planned. Today I’ll focus on me myself and I.
    Day 35: Mon, 6/13: 219.0 Walked 3 miles. Much of what I did today was again for the sell of my mom’s home following up with the buyer and their questions after the inspection on Friday. BUT I did walk, wash my hair, file my nails, color a mosaic mandala, read and cooked 3 new meals (breakfast lunch & dinner). Baby steps focusing on me.
    Day 36: Tues, 6/14: 219.2 Walked 3.2 miles. WAY TOO MUCH snacking through stress today. Attended morning spanish class, afternoon sketching class (I’m definitely the amateur!), evening spanish assessment for another M & W evening class with DH, many calls and scheduling for my mom’s house, lots of interruptions while in classes.
    ALSO my daughter started having minor contractions but no baby movement … they went to the hospital to make sure the baby was okay and were sent home to continue the early labor after finding the baby’s strong heartbeat and the monitor recognizing more contractions that my daughter was feeling. She thought they were 10 min apart but they were 6 min apart, 2cc dilated, 80% effaced. Exciting that their baby due July 1 with a scheduled inducement for June 23 will likely be earlier than expected. Good news because they are having what the doctor predicts as a big baby.
    Day 37: Wed, 6/15: 220.4 Strength Training Class 1 hr. I’m on watch for grand baby #2! DD has had what the hospital Monday evening called labor contractions (not Braxton Hicks) regularly about 6 min apart but not long enough or strong enough to keep her there. So yesterday she decided not to go into work and joined me in visiting my granddaughter and DIL. We helped out since my son is out of town this week working. My DIL asked if I could babysit so she could go grocery shopping and prep cook for her sister’s bachelorette party this weekend. It was a fun day. Did not stay into the evening like I originally planned since DD wanted to go home and rest. But all in all I ended up with 2 restaurant meals and snacks and the scale shows that I’m not on point and focused.
