100 DAYS OF WEIGHTING IN #12
Replies
-
Hi all, I am jumping in late. But I will carry whatever I achieve here to the next 100 days' challenge. I have been facing the problem of weight cycling for a while now. Started at 87 kgs -> achieved 72 kgs, 72 kgs -> gained 81kgs, 81 kgs-> achieved 75 kgs, 75 kgs -> 80 kgs. Now I just want to get rid of this for good and never want to see these numbers again. I am currently @ 80kgs (177 lbs). The ultimate goal weight is 50 kgs (110 lbs). I am fairly active, I work out at least 4-5 days/week and get in 10k steps almost daily. It is my diet that puts me off many times. Hopefully not this time! I’m setting off a very ambitious goal of losing 2 lbs per week, but there are a lot of factors that I counted in, this is just to keep me going.

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 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
6th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5751 - That averaged out to 821.5 per day - a few very heavy calorie burn days toiling in the yard.
7th week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
7th week actual Weight: 137.3 - Restaurant food behind me now, time to drop some lbs
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4247 - averaging out to 606.7 each day. Always happy to have 500+ in the Green overall
8th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
8th Week Actual Weight: 136.2 - This in a week where I topped out at 140.1
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5091 which works out to a good average for me. A few very heavy calorie burn days working in my yard. 5091/7 = 727.3
9th Week Goal Weight: 135 until I hit it
9th Week Actual Weight: 137.7 - started the week with a 2 pound gain overnight, 138.4
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4330. Divided by 7 = an average of 618 per day, my goal is 500 per day average or I don't lose.
10th week goal: 135 until I hit it
10th week actual weight: 140.2 - Saturdays are usually my highest weigh of the week, but they are inching up each week.
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4974 = 704 average daily
11th Week Goal Weight:
11th Week Actual Weight: 139.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5751 - lots of calorie burn this week! Averaged 821.5 per day
Day 76: Sun, 7/24: 140.5 - Pizza Hut. Small amounts, but pizza hut nonetheless. Probably the first time that I have eaten that in over a year. It was delicious, but no doubt very salty.

Day 75…..07/23…..198.8…..(Trend weight 199.9)
Day 76…..07/24…..199.6…..(Trend weight 199.8) I was perfectly within calorie and carb limits yesterday. A large amount of calorie burn. Closed all my circles on fitbit in a great way. My sodium was high due to the Chinese leftovers. Still one serving to go on that. This must be fluid retention. Traveling today for some wedding decorating supplies so lunch will be out. The last of the Chinese will probably be later tonight for dinner so I don’t expect tomorrow’s weight will be very good. I really don’t feel firmly planted in new decades unless it ends in a 7. I hope to hit 197 this week so I will feel confident on the fluctuations and fluid retention days.
Day 77…..07/25…..203.2…..(Trend weight 200.2) Over 3 ½ pound gain overnight? Yikes! Tons of sodium yesterday in all 3 meals/travel. I took a magnesium supplement last night because of the bloat, so this weight is after a TMI (finally). I honestly don’t know what is going on with anything since covid. The glucose is wonky, the weight has been wonky and my blood pressure is wonky. Who knows what other things would show in bloodwork? Long Covid is real folks and I may be experiencing it according to the doctor. Ugh! So last week was a 5.2 pound gain, and now this week is a 2.4 pound gain. That is 7.6 pound gained in the last two weeks! And I have been dieting pretty consistently and certainly increasing exercise! I Travel again this week tomorrow and Thursday so I may post extra early or extra late. Tomorrow is the CTA test on the heart at the hospital. This will look for blockages in the heart and is in lieu of a heart cath which is more invasive. Thurs I see cardiologist for the results of all this testing this past month, and the plan. I am enjoying all of your posts and love to see the successes!

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

Success this week is that I actually journaled every bite and started walking a little again.

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!

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 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 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/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.
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.
Day 38: Thurs, 6/16: 220.4 Walked 3 miles.
Day 39: Fri, 6/17: 220.2 Strength Training 1 hr
Day 40: Sat, 6/18: 219.2 Walked 3+ .6 miles

Day 41: Sun, 6/19: 219.2 Walked 1.5 miles but my son’s dog laid down at least 2x because he is not use to walking. 6mo old very large Doberman. DH did the normal 3 mile walk with our dog.
Day 42: Mon, 6/20: 219.7 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog … this is very challenging. In addition, he is pulling up my plants in the back yard!!! Looks like my son will not be out of the hospital until mid week and has follow up with surgeon on Friday. Hopefully he is able to fly home this weekend and then we’ll need to return his dog to Austin.
Day 43: Tues, 6/21: 219.6 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog. Skipped all my daytime Monday leisure classes and book club that evening so that I could concentrate on the sell of mom's house. Also cancelled my plans to study Spanish on Mon & Wed evenings this summer. I had taken too much on with the new grandbaby, DH's retirement, Mom's sell of her home and her moving into my camp house. Renegotiated on the owner financing once again. Basically changed Mom's address online for everything except doctors and pharmacy which she will handle! Rural area and since I didn't have a mailbox for the camp house ... got that too taken care of.
-- Medical Insurance
- Car Insurance
- Post Office Forwarding 12 months & Change of Address
- Bank - checking & savings
- Social Security
- Voters Registration
- Drivers License
- Credit Card
- Paypal
- Retail Cards
Ordered internet for the camp house to separate it from mom's. Renegotiated mowing contract to break it away from mowing the larger house's 2 lots and just mow my 1 lot. Transferred trash service to the camp house, too. Got the updated contracts and they are now executed!
Day 45: Thurs, 6/23: 219.1 No exercise. A little less stressful. When on the phone with DD … DH came in with a can of pumpkin wanting me to bake pumpkin cookies. Of course this was just the distraction I needed! Not the calories LOL Mom is having a moving sale and I'm not sure what all she is getting rid of or keeping. She is being unreasonable about a number of things but then I can't be down there since I need to be here to help my daughter. My sister is heading down to help mom and plans to stay through the closing. Oh and I designed a budget and plan for setting up new Fidelity account for mom so that we could ensure she doesn't burn through the monthly income from the owner financing since she never saves and this was to be her savings for moving to Houston and getting an apartment or assisted living in a few years. Made sure she has more income now than earlier for monthly use so she can travel with a friend.
Day 46: Fri, 6/24: 221.1 We have a beautiful little granddaughter! Margot 7l bs 15 oz 20.75 inches.
Day 47: Sat, 6/25: 220.7 Walked 1 mile. DD had to stay in the hospital an extra day but baby and mom are doing well.

Day 48: Sun, 6/26: DNW Walked 1 mile. Unusual schedule since I stayed with my daughter & her husband when she and the baby came home. Almost everything else went on hold.
Day 49: Mon, 6/27: DNW My daughter is doing really well with her new baby. DH picked up our son and wife at the Austin airport and took their dog home. Whew that was a bundle of energy.
Day 50: Tues, 6/28: DNW Skipped all my leisure classes and focused on my new granddaughter.
Day 51: Wed, 6/29: 221 Stressful day … selling boat on consignment, reading contracts for mom’s sell by owner with owner financing, issues with setting up internet for our camp house where my mom is moving, etc etc. All I wanted was to be supporting my daughter and holding my granddaughter instead I was on the phone a ton of the time.
Day 52: Thurs, 6/30: 221.5 Continued getting corrections on the contracts for the sell of mom’s house. Confirmed the buyer transferred the funds and got insurance before the closing. Also disconnected internet at the old house now that we have it working at the little house. I did though catch up with a friend shooting sporting clays for a couple of hours! Also DH and I got our medical insurance straight since we’ll no longer be covered by his old company starting July 1.
Day 53: Fri, 7/1: 220.9 Walked 3+ miles. Completed mom’s closing but the wire transfer will not happen until Tuesday due to the title company closing for a 4 day weekend. Felt like I accomplished nothing except grocery shopping and investigating medical insurance plans. Need to find a new focus … oh yeah right … it should be me!
Day 54: Sat, 7/2: 220.6 No exercise. The house closed and the wire transfer is pending in mom’s acct. The last time my mom received a large sum from inheritance she blew the whole $300k in less than a year. So with her permission I worked on mom’s financials and set up an investment acct for the house downpayment. This for a woman that didn’t have a savings account for the past 40 years until her husband passed away at the end of 2020 and then I set her up a savings acct with automatic deposits from her checking. Doing the same for the owner financing where the majority of the loan payments will go to her investment account, then some to savings and minor portion to checking.
Afterward I spent the afternoon with my new granddaughter.
Needless to say meals were not great either. Chili & Fritos for lunch then Grimaldi’s pizza and wine for dinner.
8th Week Goal Weight: Not focused!

Day 55: Sun, 7/3: 222.4 Walked 1 mile. All the kids were here for our family celebration with the new grandbabies. Huge spread of hamburgers & brats, tater tots & zucchini fries + key lime pie for our mid day meal. DH & I will have leftovers for days. I ate the hamburger as a salad without bun and the zucchini fries but obviously the 2 pieces of pie hit me hard … or was it the one Heineken 0.0? Not sure since I thought I had been pretty good. Called a neighbor and got a great family photo since we had all of us together! Now to get myself slimmer for the next family photo! I need to get out of the 220s.
Day 56: Mon, 7/4: 220.0 Walked 3 miles, meal planning was good, the rest of the day I either read, caught up on my sleep or shopped the sales online (2 granddaughters to buy magneticme & simply magnetic sleeping outfits).
Day 57: Tues, 7/5: 221.8 Gardening in the heat.
Day 58: Wed, 7/6: DNW Strength Training class 1 hr. Helped DD after she had a rough night with the baby. Ensured DD got lunch, afternoon nap, a shower, picked up the house for her, helped her figure out her breast pump, and gave her lots of hugs and support. Mom & baby are doing fine. Then fed my sister dinner and wine to celebrate her return from a week+ of helping my mom with the move and unloaded her car of all my stuff she brought back.
Day 59: Thurs, 7/7: 221.5 No exercise … my knee is bothering me. But I did go up and down the stairs a million times LOL. Unpacked and found a new home in my house for everything that came back from the camp that my mom doesn’t need so she had space to put her own stuff. Cooked a tasty Hello Fresh dinner of Bulgogi Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Carrots & Lemony Rice
Day 60: Fri, 7/8: 221.6 Swam with my granddaughter. No real exercise for the day.
Day 61: Sat, 7/9: 222.4 No exercise. Wonderful girls day hanging out with my DD, DIL, sister and the 2 grandbabies over lunch that I brought to DD’s house. Dinner out too. DH and I found a new to us Italian restaurant about 11 miles away which was very good. Ran into friends and sat with them in the bar area for dinner. Fun time and really great food. DH & I split toasted ravioli and Cappellini Crusted Red Snapper - red snapper filet wrapped with angel hair pasta topped with artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, and green onions in bianco sauce. Served with a side of steamed vegetable medley. YUMMY!

Day 78: Tues, 7/26: What’s the damage? 224.6 Wonderful trip but long days driving which meant lots of sitting on top of the heat 100+ which prevented us from really getting out to walk or hike. DH gained 5 lbs and I gained .5 lbs but then I was already up on the scale before we left.

Day 76…..07/24…..199.6…..(Trend weight 199.8) I was perfectly within calorie and carb limits yesterday. A large amount of calorie burn. Closed all my circles on fitbit in a great way. My sodium was high due to the Chinese leftovers. Still one serving to go on that. This must be fluid retention. Traveling today for some wedding decorating supplies so lunch will be out. The last of the Chinese will probably be later tonight for dinner so I don’t expect tomorrow’s weight will be very good. I really don’t feel firmly planted in new decades unless it ends in a 7. I hope to hit 197 this week so I will feel confident on the fluctuations and fluid retention days.
Day 77…..07/25…..203.2…..(Trend weight 200.2) Over 3 ½ pound gain overnight? Yikes! Tons of sodium yesterday in all 3 meals/travel. I took a magnesium supplement last night because of the bloat, so this weight is after a TMI (finally). I honestly don’t know what is going on with anything since covid. The glucose is wonky, the weight has been wonky and my blood pressure is wonky. Who knows what other things would show in bloodwork? Long Covid is real folks and I may be experiencing it according to the doctor. Ugh! So last week was a 5.2 pound gain, and now this week is a 2.4 pound gain. That is 7.6 pound gained in the last two weeks! And I have been dieting pretty consistently and certainly increasing exercise! I Travel again this week tomorrow and Thursday so I may post extra early or extra late. Tomorrow is the CTA test on the heart at the hospital. This will look for blockages in the heart and is in leiu of a heart cath which is more invasive. Thurs I see cardiologist for the results of all this testing this past month, and the plan. I am enjoying all of your posts and love to see the successes!

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.

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
6th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
6th Week Actual Weight: 138.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5751 - That averaged out to 821.5 per day - a few very heavy calorie burn days toiling in the yard.
7th week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
7th week actual Weight: 137.3 - Restaurant food behind me now, time to drop some lbs
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4247 - averaging out to 606.7 each day. Always happy to have 500+ in the Green overall
8th Week Goal Weight: 135.0 until I hit it
8th Week Actual Weight: 136.2 - This in a week where I topped out at 140.1
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5091 which works out to a good average for me. A few very heavy calorie burn days working in my yard. 5091/7 = 727.3
9th Week Goal Weight: 135 until I hit it
9th Week Actual Weight: 137.7 - started the week with a 2 pound gain overnight, 138.4
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4330. Divided by 7 = an average of 618 per day, my goal is 500 per day average or I don't lose.
10th week goal: 135 until I hit it
10th week actual weight: 140.2 - Saturdays are usually my highest weigh of the week, but they are inching up each week.
Excess calories burned (in the green): 4974 = 704 average daily
11th Week Goal Weight:
11th Week Actual Weight: 139.5
Excess calories burned (in the green): 5751 - lots of calorie burn this week! Averaged 821.5 per day
Day 76: Sun, 7/24: 140.5 - Pizza Hut. Small amounts, but pizza hut nonetheless. Probably the first time that I have eaten that in over a year. It was delicious, but no doubt very salty.
Day 77: Mon, 7/25: 143.3 - Ouch, but ??
Day 78: Tues, 7/26: 141.4 - Eating food that I didn't prepare myself on the weekend (rare) is disastrous. I am working late almost every night this week, so late dinners which don't help the scale either. Can't help that, I must eat and can not do so while on the run other than berries and stuff like that. Dinner needs to be had by me.

Hi all, I am jumping in late. But I will carry whatever I achieve here to the next 100 days' challenge. I have been facing the problem of weight cycling for a while now. Started at 87 kgs -> achieved 72 kgs, 72 kgs -> gained 81kgs, 81 kgs-> achieved 75 kgs, 75 kgs -> 80 kgs. Now I just want to get rid of this for good and never want to see these numbers again. I am currently @ 80kgs (177 lbs). The ultimate goal weight is 50 kgs (110 lbs). I am fairly active, I work out at least 4-5 days/week and get in 10k steps almost daily. It is my diet that puts me off many times. Hopefully not this time! I’m setting off a very ambitious goal of losing 2 lbs per week, but there are a lot of factors that I counted in, this is just to keep me going.

Hopping back into the thread for a 2nd time today just because I have to state ... "I did NOT buy a Snickers at the grocery checkout!"
After making my grocery list and menu plan my daughter called and said she needed help with the baby ... could she come out and hang with us for the day. Of course.
So my day got off track almost immediately.
BUT I did a few things for me:
1. My strength training exercise class before DD got here.
2. Ran out while she was breast feeding my granddaughter before lunch to get the groceries ... and talked myself out of the Snickers I felt I deserved for finishing exercise class
3. Made the planned taco salad for lunch even though my daughter wasn't that interested. But I said DH likes it so she said she would try and she liked it.
4. Made arrangements for lunch tomorrow with DIL and DD and the 2 granddaughters since my son is in Alaska for work this week and it is DIL 30th birthday. Made sure it is a place I can stay on plan!
YEAH me! Off to a good start.3 -

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.

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!

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 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/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.
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.
Day 38: Thurs, 6/16: 220.4 Walked 3 miles.
Day 39: Fri, 6/17: 220.2 Strength Training 1 hr

Day 41: Sun, 6/19: 219.2 Walked 1.5 miles but my son’s dog laid down at least 2x because he is not use to walking. 6mo old very large Doberman. DH did the normal 3 mile walk with our dog.
Day 42: Mon, 6/20: 219.7 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog … this is very challenging. In addition, he is pulling up my plants in the back yard!!! Looks like my son will not be out of the hospital until mid week and has follow up with surgeon on Friday. Hopefully he is able to fly home this weekend and then we’ll need to return his dog to Austin.
Day 43: Tues, 6/21: 219.6 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog. Skipped all my daytime Monday leisure classes and book club that evening so that I could concentrate on the sell of mom's house. Also cancelled my plans to study Spanish on Mon & Wed evenings this summer. I had taken too much on with the new grandbaby, DH's retirement, Mom's sell of her home and her moving into my camp house. Renegotiated on the owner financing once again. Basically changed Mom's address online for everything except doctors and pharmacy which she will handle! Rural area and since I didn't have a mailbox for the camp house ... got that too taken care of.

Ordered internet for the camp house to separate it from mom's. Renegotiated mowing contract to break it away from mowing the larger house's 2 lots and just mow my 1 lot. Transferred trash service to the camp house, too. Got the updated contracts and they are now executed!
Day 45: Thurs, 6/23: 219.1 No exercise. A little less stressful. When on the phone with DD … DH came in with a can of pumpkin wanting me to bake pumpkin cookies. Of course this was just the distraction I needed! Not the calories LOL Mom is having a moving sale and I'm not sure what all she is getting rid of or keeping. She is being unreasonable about a number of things but then I can't be down there since I need to be here to help my daughter. My sister is heading down to help mom and plans to stay through the closing. Oh and I designed a budget and plan for setting up new Fidelity account for mom so that we could ensure she doesn't burn through the monthly income from the owner financing since she never saves and this was to be her savings for moving to Houston and getting an apartment or assisted living in a few years. Made sure she has more income now than earlier for monthly use so she can travel with a friend.
Day 46: Fri, 6/24: 221.1 We have a beautiful little granddaughter! Margot 7l bs 15 oz 20.75 inches.
Day 47: Sat, 6/25: 220.7 Walked 1 mile. DD had to stay in the hospital an extra day but baby and mom are doing well.

Day 48: Sun, 6/26: DNW Walked 1 mile. Unusual schedule since I stayed with my daughter & her husband when she and the baby came home. Almost everything else went on hold.
Day 49: Mon, 6/27: DNW My daughter is doing really well with her new baby. DH picked up our son and wife at the Austin airport and took their dog home. Whew that was a bundle of energy.
Day 50: Tues, 6/28: DNW Skipped all my leisure classes and focused on my new granddaughter.
Day 51: Wed, 6/29: 221 Stressful day … selling boat on consignment, reading contracts for mom’s sell by owner with owner financing, issues with setting up internet for our camp house where my mom is moving, etc etc. All I wanted was to be supporting my daughter and holding my granddaughter instead I was on the phone a ton of the time.
Day 52: Thurs, 6/30: 221.5 Continued getting corrections on the contracts for the sell of mom’s house. Confirmed the buyer transferred the funds and got insurance before the closing. Also disconnected internet at the old house now that we have it working at the little house. I did though catch up with a friend shooting sporting clays for a couple of hours! Also DH and I got our medical insurance straight since we’ll no longer be covered by his old company starting July 1.
Day 53: Fri, 7/1: 220.9 Walked 3+ miles. Completed mom’s closing but the wire transfer will not happen until Tuesday due to the title company closing for a 4 day weekend. Felt like I accomplished nothing except grocery shopping and investigating medical insurance plans. Need to find a new focus … oh yeah right … it should be me!
Day 54: Sat, 7/2: 220.6 No exercise. The house closed and the wire transfer is pending in mom’s acct. The last time my mom received a large sum from inheritance she blew the whole $300k in less than a year. So with her permission I worked on mom’s financials and set up an investment acct for the house downpayment. This for a woman that didn’t have a savings account for the past 40 years until her husband passed away at the end of 2020 and then I set her up a savings acct with automatic deposits from her checking. Doing the same for the owner financing where the majority of the loan payments will go to her investment account, then some to savings and minor portion to checking.
Afterward I spent the afternoon with my new granddaughter.
Needless to say meals were not great either. Chili & Fritos for lunch then Grimaldi’s pizza and wine for dinner.
8th Week Goal Weight: Not focused!
8th Week Actual Weight:
Day 55: Sun, 7/3: 222.4 Walked 1 mile. All the kids were here for our family celebration with the new grandbabies. Huge spread of hamburgers & brats, tater tots & zucchini fries + key lime pie for our mid day meal. DH & I will have leftovers for days. I ate the hamburger as a salad without bun and the zucchini fries but obviously the 2 pieces of pie hit me hard … or was it the one Heineken 0.0? Not sure since I thought I had been pretty good. Called a neighbor and got a great family photo since we had all of us together! Now to get myself slimmer for the next family photo! I need to get out of the 220s.
Day 56: Mon, 7/4: 220.0 Walked 3 miles, meal planning was good, the rest of the day I either read, caught up on my sleep or shopped the sales online (2 granddaughters to buy magneticme & simply magnetic sleeping outfits).
Day 57: Tues, 7/5: 221.8 Gardening in the heat.
Day 58: Wed, 7/6: DNW Strength Training class 1 hr. Helped DD after she had a rough night with the baby. Ensured DD got lunch, afternoon nap, a shower, picked up the house for her, helped her figure out her breast pump, and gave her lots of hugs and support. Mom & baby are doing fine. Then fed my sister dinner and wine to celebrate her return from a week+ of helping my mom with the move and unloaded her car of all my stuff she brought back.
Day 59: Thurs, 7/7: 221.5 No exercise … my knee is bothering me. But I did go up and down the stairs a million times LOL. Unpacked and found a new home in my house for everything that came back from the camp that my mom doesn’t need so she had space to put her own stuff. Cooked a tasty Hello Fresh dinner of Bulgogi Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Carrots & Lemony Rice
Day 60: Fri, 7/8: 221.6 Swam with my granddaughter. No real exercise for the day.
Day 61: Sat, 7/9: 222.4 No exercise. Wonderful girls day hanging out with my DD, DIL, sister and the 2 grandbabies over lunch that I brought to DD’s house. Dinner out too. DH and I found a new to us Italian restaurant about 11 miles away which was very good. Ran into friends and sat with them in the bar area for dinner. Fun time and really great food. DH & I split toasted ravioli and Cappellini Crusted Red Snapper - red snapper filet wrapped with angel hair pasta topped with artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, and green onions in bianco sauce. Served with a side of steamed vegetable medley. YUMMY!
9th Week Goal Weight: <220
9th Week Actual Weight: 222.4 TOTAL MISS! Refused to exercise daily as well as I’m not drinking much water nor journaling which combined leads to a gain.
Day 62: Sun, 7/10: 222.8 No exercise. Too much food. I know what causes the gains but haven’t wrapped my head around turning things in another direction. Today I concentrate on me myself and I.
Day 63: Mon, 7/11: 222.6 Walked 3 miles. Crazy heat 108 degrees.
Day 64: Tues, 7/12: DNW
Day 65: Wed, 7/13: 220.4 Strength Training class 1 hr.
Day 66: Thurs, 7/14: 221.6 Walked 1.4
Day 67: Fri, 7/15: 222.1 Walked 3.1, sporting clays too.
Day 68: Sat, 7/16: 223.6 WHOA!
10th Week Goal Weight: <220
10th Week Actual Weight: 223.6
Getting out of my own way and reminding myself of the reasons I want to lose weight and get in better shape:
* Better health
* More active & outgoing
* I'll look better in pictures
* Not always biggest person in room
* Fun shopping for clothes
* Example for my adult kids
* Live longer & enjoy those years more
Day 69: Sun, 7:17: 224.0 Walked 1 mile
Day 70: Mon, 7/18: 223.2 Walked 3.8 miles, started journaling 1892 cal (-91 red), 130 net carbs
Day 71: Tues, 7/19: 224.1 Walked 3.1 miles, 2420 cal (-771 red), 241 net carbs. The cookies did me in both homemade and store bought.
Day 72: Wed, 7/20: Leaving on a 2000 mile roadtrip! Long Travel Days planned. 14 hrs over 2 days not including stops for gas, food, potty. Ax Throwing & Brewery at the end of the long drive to Topeka.
Day 73: Thurs, 7/21: DNW Shorter Travel Day + conference in the afternoon. Walked to a little French place in Old Market area of Omaha and stayed for dinner at La Buvette Wine & Grocery.
Day 74: Fri, 7/22: DNW Strategic Air Command Museum (SAC) & conference. Italian dinner at Nicola’s Italian Wine & Fare.
Day 75: Sat, 7/23: DNW Long Travel Day. 10 hrs not including stops. Wine & broiled crab cakes for dinner.
11th Week Goal Weight: <224
11th Week Actual Weight:
Day 76: Sun, 7/24: DNW Walking around Hot Springs. Grateful Head Pizza for lunch & leftovers for dinner.
Day 77: Mon, 7/25: DNW Long Travel Day. 7 hrs not including stops. Fried Shrimp, Fish and Potatoes for lunch. Yummy but a fry fest.
Day 78: Tues, 7/26: What’s the damage? 224.6 Wonderful trip but long days driving which meant lots of sitting on top of the heat 100+ which prevented us from really getting out to walk or hike. DH gained 5 lbs and I gained .5 lbs but then I was already up on the scale before we left.
READY TO LOSE WEIGHT!
Day 79: Wed, 7/27: 221.7 Functional Strength Training. 1534 cal (-10 red), 19 net carbs. So glad I passed on the Snickers at the grocery check out! Menu planned and followed through … on track for the first day back.

@darlin930 - Half the battle is knowing that you did, admitting it and not repeating. Try tracking even if you know it will put you in the red.
She says LOL I'm trying to take my own advice this week!
Good luck with your objectives today!

More (unexpected) travel today to take my older friend downstate to her dr appointment. Then my own travel again tomorrow for the cardiologist and some results/plans. Gotta keep it under control but all my fitbit circles remain open when I travel and my calories are always over. A recipe for disaster! I can’t wait to get through this week. Exhausted!

Lots of travel for you!
You never want to take a picnic with you instead to save on the sodium and high fat content of restaurant food?2 -
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 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.

Day 78: Tues, 7/26: 141.4 - Eating food that I didn't prepare myself on the weekend (rare) is disastrous.

Can't help that, I must eat and can not do so while on the run other than berries and stuff like that. Dinner needs to be had by me.
Day 79: Wed, 7/27: 141.3 - I swapped out my late shift for tonight to Friday, so dinner will not be so late tonight.

🔹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.

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!

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 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/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.
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.
Day 38: Thurs, 6/16: 220.4 Walked 3 miles.
Day 39: Fri, 6/17: 220.2 Strength Training 1 hr

Day 41: Sun, 6/19: 219.2 Walked 1.5 miles but my son’s dog laid down at least 2x because he is not use to walking. 6mo old very large Doberman. DH did the normal 3 mile walk with our dog.
Day 42: Mon, 6/20: 219.7 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog … this is very challenging. In addition, he is pulling up my plants in the back yard!!! Looks like my son will not be out of the hospital until mid week and has follow up with surgeon on Friday. Hopefully he is able to fly home this weekend and then we’ll need to return his dog to Austin.
Day 43: Tues, 6/21: 219.6 Walked 1 mile with my son’s dog. Skipped all my daytime Monday leisure classes and book club that evening so that I could concentrate on the sell of mom's house. Also cancelled my plans to study Spanish on Mon & Wed evenings this summer. I had taken too much on with the new grandbaby, DH's retirement, Mom's sell of her home and her moving into my camp house. Renegotiated on the owner financing once again. Basically changed Mom's address online for everything except doctors and pharmacy which she will handle! Rural area and since I didn't have a mailbox for the camp house ... got that too taken care of.

Ordered internet for the camp house to separate it from mom's. Renegotiated mowing contract to break it away from mowing the larger house's 2 lots and just mow my 1 lot. Transferred trash service to the camp house, too. Got the updated contracts and they are now executed!
Day 45: Thurs, 6/23: 219.1 No exercise. A little less stressful. When on the phone with DD … DH came in with a can of pumpkin wanting me to bake pumpkin cookies. Of course this was just the distraction I needed! Not the calories LOL Mom is having a moving sale and I'm not sure what all she is getting rid of or keeping. She is being unreasonable about a number of things but then I can't be down there since I need to be here to help my daughter. My sister is heading down to help mom and plans to stay through the closing. Oh and I designed a budget and plan for setting up new Fidelity account for mom so that we could ensure she doesn't burn through the monthly income from the owner financing since she never saves and this was to be her savings for moving to Houston and getting an apartment or assisted living in a few years. Made sure she has more income now than earlier for monthly use so she can travel with a friend.
Day 46: Fri, 6/24: 221.1 We have a beautiful little granddaughter! Margot 7l bs 15 oz 20.75 inches.
Day 47: Sat, 6/25: 220.7 Walked 1 mile. DD had to stay in the hospital an extra day but baby and mom are doing well.

Day 48: Sun, 6/26: DNW Walked 1 mile. Unusual schedule since I stayed with my daughter & her husband when she and the baby came home. Almost everything else went on hold.
Day 49: Mon, 6/27: DNW My daughter is doing really well with her new baby. DH picked up our son and wife at the Austin airport and took their dog home. Whew that was a bundle of energy.
Day 50: Tues, 6/28: DNW Skipped all my leisure classes and focused on my new granddaughter.
Day 51: Wed, 6/29: 221 Stressful day … selling boat on consignment, reading contracts for mom’s sell by owner with owner financing, issues with setting up internet for our camp house where my mom is moving, etc etc. All I wanted was to be supporting my daughter and holding my granddaughter instead I was on the phone a ton of the time.
Day 52: Thurs, 6/30: 221.5 Continued getting corrections on the contracts for the sell of mom’s house. Confirmed the buyer transferred the funds and got insurance before the closing. Also disconnected internet at the old house now that we have it working at the little house. I did though catch up with a friend shooting sporting clays for a couple of hours! Also DH and I got our medical insurance straight since we’ll no longer be covered by his old company starting July 1.
Day 53: Fri, 7/1: 220.9 Walked 3+ miles. Completed mom’s closing but the wire transfer will not happen until Tuesday due to the title company closing for a 4 day weekend. Felt like I accomplished nothing except grocery shopping and investigating medical insurance plans. Need to find a new focus … oh yeah right … it should be me!
Day 54: Sat, 7/2: 220.6 No exercise. The house closed and the wire transfer is pending in mom’s acct. The last time my mom received a large sum from inheritance she blew the whole $300k in less than a year. So with her permission I worked on mom’s financials and set up an investment acct for the house downpayment. This for a woman that didn’t have a savings account for the past 40 years until her husband passed away at the end of 2020 and then I set her up a savings acct with automatic deposits from her checking. Doing the same for the owner financing where the majority of the loan payments will go to her investment account, then some to savings and minor portion to checking.
Afterward I spent the afternoon with my new granddaughter.
Needless to say meals were not great either. Chili & Fritos for lunch then Grimaldi’s pizza and wine for dinner.
8th Week Goal Weight: Not focused!

Day 55: Sun, 7/3: 222.4 Walked 1 mile. All the kids were here for our family celebration with the new grandbabies. Huge spread of hamburgers & brats, tater tots & zucchini fries + key lime pie for our mid day meal. DH & I will have leftovers for days. I ate the hamburger as a salad without bun and the zucchini fries but obviously the 2 pieces of pie hit me hard … or was it the one Heineken 0.0? Not sure since I thought I had been pretty good. Called a neighbor and got a great family photo since we had all of us together! Now to get myself slimmer for the next family photo! I need to get out of the 220s.
Day 56: Mon, 7/4: 220.0 Walked 3 miles, meal planning was good, the rest of the day I either read, caught up on my sleep or shopped the sales online (2 granddaughters to buy magneticme & simply magnetic sleeping outfits).
Day 57: Tues, 7/5: 221.8 Gardening in the heat.
Day 58: Wed, 7/6: DNW Strength Training class 1 hr. Helped DD after she had a rough night with the baby. Ensured DD got lunch, afternoon nap, a shower, picked up the house for her, helped her figure out her breast pump, and gave her lots of hugs and support. Mom & baby are doing fine. Then fed my sister dinner and wine to celebrate her return from a week+ of helping my mom with the move and unloaded her car of all my stuff she brought back.
Day 59: Thurs, 7/7: 221.5 No exercise … my knee is bothering me. But I did go up and down the stairs a million times LOL. Unpacked and found a new home in my house for everything that came back from the camp that my mom doesn’t need so she had space to put her own stuff. Cooked a tasty Hello Fresh dinner of Bulgogi Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Carrots & Lemony Rice
Day 60: Fri, 7/8: 221.6 Swam with my granddaughter. No real exercise for the day.
Day 61: Sat, 7/9: 222.4 No exercise. Wonderful girls day hanging out with my DD, DIL, sister and the 2 grandbabies over lunch that I brought to DD’s house. Dinner out too. DH and I found a new to us Italian restaurant about 11 miles away which was very good. Ran into friends and sat with them in the bar area for dinner. Fun time and really great food. DH & I split toasted ravioli and Cappellini Crusted Red Snapper - red snapper filet wrapped with angel hair pasta topped with artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes, and green onions in bianco sauce. Served with a side of steamed vegetable medley. YUMMY!

Day 62: Sun, 7/10: 222.8 No exercise. Too much food. I know what causes the gains but haven’t wrapped my head around turning things in another direction. Today I concentrate on me myself and I.

It's time to stop making excuses and procrastinating.
Getting out of my own way and reminding myself of the reasons I want to lose weight and get in better shape:
* Better health
* More active & outgoing
* I'll look better in pictures
* Not always biggest person in room
* Fun shopping for clothes
* Example for my adult kids
* Live longer & enjoy those years more

Day 78: Tues, 7/26: What’s the damage? 224.6 Wonderful trip but long days driving which meant lots of sitting on top of the heat 100+ which prevented us from really getting out to walk or hike. DH gained 5 lbs and I gained .5 lbs but then I was already up on the scale before we left.
READY TO LOSE WEIGHT!
Day 79: Wed, 7/27: 221.7 Functional Strength Training. 1534 cal (-10 red), 19 net carbs. So glad I passed on the Snickers at the grocery check out! Menu planned and followed through … on track for the first day back.

Had to add tracking the bread I ate but other than that it was a really good day. Fresh crusty warm French bread is hard to pass up!

Hi all, I am jumping in late. But I will carry whatever I achieve here to the next 100 days' challenge. I have been facing the problem of weight cycling for a while now. Started at 87 kgs -> achieved 72 kgs, 72 kgs -> gained 81kgs, 81 kgs-> achieved 75 kgs, 75 kgs -> 80 kgs. Now I just want to get rid of this for good and never want to see these numbers again. I am currently @ 80kgs (177 lbs). The ultimate goal weight is 50 kgs (110 lbs). I am fairly active, I work out at least 4-5 days/week and get in 10k steps almost daily. It is my diet that puts me off many times. Hopefully not this time! I’m setting off a very ambitious goal of losing 2 lbs per week, but there are a lot of factors that I counted in, this is just to keep me going.

Well I had a terrible week (weight-wise), some time away and some work done on the house. so I missed a handful of weigh-ins. I am finally checking in with some numbers.
In that week among other things I had a weird health issue that required me to take steroids so my water weight went up exponentially. Grr. Then I was away for the weekend. Then had a family birthday with ice cream cake...
The bad weeks numbers were finally tamed in the last couple of days.I'm joining in late. I started this diet and myfitnesspal on May 31st. I do track my weight everyday. I find that it works for me mainly because it avoids making a weekly weigh in so impactful and therefore stressful. I am trying to lose 33.6 pounds in total. At my height the extra 33 pounds was making me borderline obese with a BMI of 29.5.
Hoping to do 1.5 pounds a week for now and then taper off to 1 pound and finally half a pound.

Day 79…..07/27…..202.6[-/b]…..(Trend weight 200.4) A drop in weight after travel? Hmmmm. It’s bound to show up sooner or later so I’m bracing myself. More (unexpected) travel today to take my older friend downstate to her dr appointment. Then my own travel again tomorrow for the cardiologist and some results/plans. Gotta keep it under control but all my fitbit circles remain open when I travel and my calories are always over. A recipe for disaster! I can’t wait to get through this week. Exhausted!
