I'm so motivated and inspired by this thread! Not sure if I should start now though since I'll be on vacation for 12 days in September. Should I?

Definitely jump in!!

It should always bring you back to your most recent post on this forum. I just copy and paste it.
I take the dates for each week from page one and copy paste them as well.

@Lilylady3k
I bet that you were glad to get some rain there! It has been hot here too, 39c yesterday.
I was up before dawn, as per usual and when it began to get light there was a drizzle and then a nice bit of rain. I had my coffee out on my front covered porch and it smelled soooo good. Bonus that I don't have to water the garden today!

@deepwoodslady

How exciting about the counter tops, the trim etc.

Hey, your late night snack sounded nutritious and yummy.
I bet that it wasn't very many calories either.
Put that in your tracker each morning to have late in the evening. Adjust the day's calories accordingly.
You seem to get hungry later at night and a version of that fits the bill perfectly : - )
The wedding is just a couple of weeks away. Push for good wedding photos Donna. You can do it and you seem to be getting into a good food groove. Grandson's party, smaller portions.

Thank you @Miyoka_Tata :):)

I am Dawn.
61 and 11/12ths
5'2"
I live in SE BC Canada

This will be my 11th round on this forum out of 13 of them.
I have gained weight in 4 out of the last 5 100s
I enjoy being on this journey with y'all. Weight loss requires a lot of work! We are worth it though.
I aim to have an average of 500 calories in the Green each day, so I track my excess. I get in a good deal of activity and dance workouts. Like, if you had to pick a body type that you wanted to have, you do that sort of activity I think. Dance for me unlocks my creaky joints, lifts my spirits, stretches me out, works all of the muscles and is super fun. I do the 3-4 minute song variety, it keeps me up with what the "kids" are listening to : - )

Day 1: Thurs, 8/18: 137.7 - I am down from the last 100's EW (yesterday), but still up almost 2 pounds from the last 100's SW of 136.0. I think that I can make some headway before I head off on vacation Sept 13th.
Day 2: Fri, 8/19: 137.8 - My calorie intake has been very low all this week, between 1000 and 1100 per day. That wasn't really intentional. I definitely don't want to eat such low calories over the long term, even if it does mean that I lose a little weight. Tonight I will be more indulgent after I get home from my split shift. I expect to see my weight go up tomorrow, but that is okay.
Day 3: Sat, 8/20: 138.8 - Worked late last night, ate late, Friday type choices, I had 4 Mozzarella sticks with a tablespoon of sour cream and 1/2 tablespoon of ketchup. I burned soooo many calories yesterday.

1st Week Goal Weight: 137.5
1st Week Actual Weight: 138.8 Started at 137.7,
Excess calories burned (in the green): I will fill this in after today's numbers.

Day 4: Sun, 8/21:

Day 10: Sat: 8/27:

2nd Week Goal Weight: 135.9 (ambitious I know, but my trip will be coming up)
2ndWeek Actual Weight: N/A
Excess calories burned (in the green):

Start weight this 100: 137.7
Goal weight this 100: 127.7 - Very unrealistic, especially since I will be in Mexico for a good chunk of September and I am going to eat all of the yummy foods and drink a few Margaritas/Cervezas for sure. The most that I have ever lost in the 100 day challenge was 7 pounds once. In the 7 100s in which I actually lost weight it was more like 2-3 pounds loss over 100 days.

I'm intentionally losing weight slowly, it's going to be about 2 years to get to goal weight (64 kg). Weight is in kilograms, did I eat sugary food, followed by how much I've overeaten above 6,000KJ per day since 1st August 2022, followed by my exercise on the treadmill (speed km/hr x minutes). Tracking intake and exercise will stop mid October 2022.

Oh Donna!! Yikes.
I too bought an old house, but addressed all of the electrical as the first job. Electrical is scary, one socket that the electrician opened was arcing, fire was a real and imminent probability.
Such bad timing with the wedding and everything coming up, but that electrical will have to be addressed by a ticketed electrician so that your house doesn't burn down. Handymen should not be *kitten* with the panel.

I feel so awful for all of the stuff that you have been going through. Please don't hesitate to share here.
Your karma is due for a big swing in the other direction. Take care of your health the best that you can while all of this is going on.
Huge hugs.

Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 200.4
Goal This Round: 185.4 (15 pound loss)
Ending Weight this round:

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

Day 01-08/18-202.6-(Trend weight 199.9)
Day 02-08/19-201.6-(Trend weight 200.0)
Day 03-08/20-201.8-(Trend weight 200.2)

Day 04-08/21-200.0-(Trend weight 200.2) Teetering on Onederland. Well, if you guys haven’t already heard enough about my problems, here goes a big one. Handymen were messing around in the electrical box in the basement while trying to hook up new drop in stove. The ignitor is electric tho the stove is gas. Now over half of my house doesn’t work. All the main floor is down except the bathrooms which each have one plug. Well pump stopped working too, so no water again. My part-time neighbor was next door and my handymen said we could feed my house with low level pressure water through garden hoses off our spickets to bring running water to faucets and toilets in my house (called backwashing) and neighbor said okay. So I can flush but not shower unless I want it cold. I ran an extension cord to the bathroom for my breathing machine last night. There is a plug upstairs that seems to be okay so son slept up there last night and DD & DGS stayed at boyfriend’s. Today is Sunday, I’m in the middle of nowhere with no real skilled tradesmen in the area and this old house has decided it’s not waiting any longer on the electrical upgrades. It’s spooky. The microwave is beeping on and off. The phone base. Not enough power to run the TV. Computer comes on if I unplug the fridge in the other room but I have to baby it. I am hearing the electrical surges run through the computer speakers. Oh, and the birthday party of my DGD is out-of-town today (not to mention the wedding in less than 2 weeks). Now I am going to go in the bathroom where I made coffee and hope it generated enough heat to get the coffee hot. No wonder my heart is giving out! Sorry to unload like this (yet again), but please ya’ll, count your blessings, pray for me and help me count mine!

Day 05-08/22-200.0-(Trend weight 200.2) Well, I missed my DGD’s birthday. The electricians showed up quickly and worked until 11:45 pm at night to get the problem solved which was a whole new electrical box with an upgraded service. Something I was going to do anyway, so why not tie it all up neatly with a bow at once? Grateful for electricity and grateful for water today. My weight, my trend weight and my fat % is exactly the same as yesterday and I was surprised to see that because it was a model day. However, I realized that I did not take the heart-healthy water pill (because of the birthday party) so I probably have fluid built up. Also, I was stuck in the house all day with electricians and stuck sitting in the dark for several hours last night so exercise of any kind was out the window. Slept well though when they finally left. I was exhausted! I’m ready to lose some weight my friends!
