    101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date

    My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA

    My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!

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


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

    Goal This Round: 181.2
    Starting Weight (from End of Last Challenge): : 196.2

    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 01-11/26-196.6-(Trend weight 198.1) My day one starts immediately on the day following the final day of the last challenge. It will end on March 6th with everyone else but that will make it 101 days for me.

    Day 51-01/15-NO SCALE-(Trend weight DNW)

    Day 52-01/16-198.8-(Trend weight 198.7)

    Day 53-01/17-197.8-(Trend weight 198.6) Lots of sleep last night, although not enough REM or Deep sleep according to fitbit. Diet as far as macros and carbs were on point yesterday but the choices could have been healthier. I did stop at a major grocery chain while I was in the city and picked up some fresh veggie items I can sneak into some of my dishes. There are not too many I can handles, but anything is better than nothing! My fasting glucose this morning was 236. Better but still not acceptable. Once I eat something it will shoot back up to between 300 and 400 and that is not good. I really need to see the 100’s in fasting. I’ll continue tweaking those carbs. It’s not just how many, it’s what type, even distribution throughout the day, slowing them entering into my system by adding proteins directly with them, etc. etc, etc. It’s complicated but I’m really feeling strong and ready for the task right now. Gonna grab the ball and run with it!


    Day 54-01/18-196.0-(Trend weight 198.4) A nice whoosh this morning. Likely some water loss due to medication and to really watching my carbs. Now…..to hang onto it. I was within my limits on carbs yesterday but on the high end of the range. Still tweaking.

    I agree that writing down your food aversions ahead of meeting with the dietician is a good idea rather than trying to think of them on the spot.

    Mini challenge by Donna, December 10-April 9th
    December 10th weight: 143.2 (but I was 141.8 the following day so I might use that)

    1st Week Goal Weight - 139.9
    1st Week Actual Weight - 141.2 Started the week at 142.2
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 4738 - average over 7 days 834

    2nd Week Goal Weight - 141.0
    2nd Week Actual Weight - 142.2 - Started the week at 143.0
    Excess calories burned (in the green): Forgot to add this earlier - 4948 = 706.85 average over 7 days.

    3rd Week Goal Weight: 139.4 - (Ambitious)
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 144.2 - Somehow put on 3 pounds while down sick for 1 day! Started the week at 142.4
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 6063 = 866.14 average over 7 days - Really big calorie burn this past week except for the day that I was sick

    4th Week Goal Weight: 139.6 - (Ambitious)
    4th Week Actual Weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.6
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 3563 = 509 average over 7 days

    5th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Not likely with holiday eating, but going to plunk in this number until I hit it. Turned out that Turkey dinners carefully portioned actually lost me weight this week.
    5th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 143.4
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.

    6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
    6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.


    7th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
    7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.

    Day 50 – 1/15 - 143.8 - Not too much fallout from the Ribs. I took out a Mumbai chicken breast for dinner later, will have potato (or rice) and veg with it. I seem to do well during the weekdays with my weight and then it jumps on the weekends. I need to address that I suppose, I do generally indulge in a bit of "bad" stuff on Friday nights, I don't get the steps in on the weekends like I do on weekdays from waitressing, although I do work out more on the weekends. I want to do a workout with weights every Saturday, I did yesterday. The weather has been awful here, 5-7C the last few days, puddles on top of ice, huge ruts in the icy road where it has melted weird. Definitely no trails or anything. There is public skating today, I may try to go. Ankle is sore today, so we'll see.
    Day 51 – 1/16 - 144.2 - Ouch. Continued fallout from the weekend. No split shifts this week (so far) so hoping to get this down fast. Cooking veggies for 2 nights of dinners this morning.
    Day 52 – 1/17 - 143.4 - I had souvlaki marinated pork, 2 veggies and a bit of potato. Delicious. Going to have that again tonight, or I might make some palak paneer. I am also ready to do another batch of jambalaya/gumbo with a new (to me) type of sausage, Hungarian. I have lots of my own peppers and tomatoes frozen, plus lots of onions and garlic left from my garden, shredded chicken and prawns are also in the freezer ready to go into it.
    Day 53 – 1/18 - 143.6 - I didn't end up cooking after work yesterday, but I have lots and lots of food in the freezer that I pre-portioned after all of that harvest cooking that I did before closing my garden for the winter.
    Day 54 – 1/19
    Day 55 – 1/20
    Day 56 – 1/22

    8th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
    8th Week Actual Weight: Started the week at 143.8
    Excess calories burned (In the green):


    Start weight of the 100: 142.2

    I’m Teri

    Jumping in halfway into this challenge. I fell off the wagon during the last challenge.

    Day 52: Mon, 1/16: 143.9
    Day 53: Tues, 1/17: 145.6 - Up two pounds. Maybe due to a high sodium dinner last night? Also had 1 glass of red wine, although I'm not sure if that was a contributing factor in my weight increase.

    Mini challenge by Donna, December 10-April 9th
    December 10th weight: 143.2 (but I was 141.8 the following day so I might use that)

    1st Week Goal Weight - 139.9
    1st Week Actual Weight - 141.2 Started the week at 142.2
    Excess calories burned (in the green): 4738 - average over 7 days 834

    2nd Week Goal Weight - 141.0
    2nd Week Actual Weight - 142.2 - Started the week at 143.0
    Excess calories burned (in the green): Forgot to add this earlier - 4948 = 706.85 average over 7 days.

    3rd Week Goal Weight: 139.4 - (Ambitious)
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 144.2 - Somehow put on 3 pounds while down sick for 1 day! Started the week at 142.4
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 6063 = 866.14 average over 7 days - Really big calorie burn this past week except for the day that I was sick

    4th Week Goal Weight: 139.6 - (Ambitious)
    4th Week Actual Weight: 143.8 - Started the week at 143.6
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 3563 = 509 average over 7 days

    5th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Not likely with holiday eating, but going to plunk in this number until I hit it. Turned out that Turkey dinners carefully portioned actually lost me weight this week.
    5th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 143.4
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.

    6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
    6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.


    7th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
    7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.

    Day 50 – 1/15 - 143.8 - Not too much fallout from the Ribs. I took out a Mumbai chicken breast for dinner later, will have potato (or rice) and veg with it. I seem to do well during the weekdays with my weight and then it jumps on the weekends. I need to address that I suppose, I do generally indulge in a bit of "bad" stuff on Friday nights, I don't get the steps in on the weekends like I do on weekdays from waitressing, although I do work out more on the weekends. I want to do a workout with weights every Saturday, I did yesterday. The weather has been awful here, 5-7C the last few days, puddles on top of ice, huge ruts in the icy road where it has melted weird. Definitely no trails or anything. There is public skating today, I may try to go. Ankle is sore today, so we'll see.
    Day 51 – 1/16 - 144.2 - Ouch. Continued fallout from the weekend. No split shifts this week (so far) so hoping to get this down fast. Cooking veggies for 2 nights of dinners this morning.
    Day 52 – 1/17 - 143.4 - I had souvlaki marinated pork, 2 veggies and a bit of potato. Delicious. Going to have that again tonight, or I might make some palak paneer. I am also ready to do another batch of jambalaya/gumbo with a new (to me) type of sausage, Hungarian. I have lots of my own peppers and tomatoes frozen, plus lots of onions and garlic left from my garden, shredded chicken and prawns are also in the freezer ready to go into it.
    Day 53 – 1/18 - 143.6 - I didn't end up cooking after work yesterday, but I have lots and lots of food in the freezer that I pre-portioned after all of that harvest cooking that I did before closing my garden for the winter.
    Day 54 – 1/19 - 143.4 - Bad ankle flare up in bed last night, so low on sleep this morning. As of this week no more split shifts for the foreseeable future. I went to public skating (33 minutes I lasted) for the first time since the steroid shot. I really hope that they aren't related and that it is just the steroid slow release attacking the inflammation. There was supposed to be a steroid "flare" in the first 48 hours, which I didn't get. Going to take it as easy as I can today, although I need at least a few dance songs to loosen up the rest of my body to prepare for the workday.
    Day 55 – 1/20
    Day 56 – 1/22

    8th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
    8th Week Actual Weight: Started the week at 143.8
    Excess calories burned (In the green):


    Start weight of the 100: 142.2

    Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
    Day 51: 01/15 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water … this is becoming a bad habit. No exercise but I did cut back the dead plants in the yard before they start to flush out again then I went shopping with my sister. Unplanned wine in the evening.
    Day 52: 01/16 - 230.0 - Did NOT Journal nor track water but I did drink more water, walked 1 mile, 2 glasses wine.
    Day 53: 01/17 - 232.4 - WHOA! Did NOT Journal nor track water but did drink more water. AF. I’m starting to sound like a broken record. Strength Training class for 1 hour then 2-3 hours of yard work. Ended up soaking in the bath and then using a heating pad on my back. But felt lovely in the evening and went out to meet my book club for dinner. Starting my food journal TODAY!
    Day 54: 01/18 - 231.8 - Still not tracking water and food. AF, no exercise. Teaching ESL, read, shopped, etc. Productive day except for getting myself back on plan.
    Day 55: 01/19 - 231.2 - No journal. AF last night skipping margaritas at book club, walk 1.3 miles.
    Day 56: 01/20 - 230.1 - No journal, wine, water. Granddaughter duty for the entire day then a nap before dining out with friends.

    Mind if I join? I could really use the accountability. I was here before, last year, and doing well but I fell off the wagon 😞.

    History:
    52 year old woman, 5’7”
    1990s—120s.
    2000s—140s.
    2008–160s.
    2012, my 1st diet—230.8, got down to 180s then relapsed.
    2021–212.6. Got down to 159.2.
    CW—185.8.
    GW—145


    Day 24–12/19 start 185.8
    Day 25–12/20–185.0
    Day 26–12/21–184.0. Looks like I had more water on board than I thought. I expect the loss to decelerate once I’m done getting rid of the water weight.🫤
    Day 27–12/22–182.4.
    Day 28–12/23–181.8
    Week 4 goal: 184.7 (-1.1)
    Progress to goal: -4.0

    Day 29–12/24–182.4–very busy shift last night, no water intake. Tonight doesn’t look much better, three nurses short. Gotta find a way to get the water in, though.
    Day 30–12/25–181.0–better. Got the water in and didn’t have time to do too much damage with the pot luck at work last night.
    Day 31–12/26–182.8. Sigh.

    Day 47–1/11–181.0 (T 181.2)
    Day 48–1/12–182.2 (T 181.4) Really?! I overate yesterday but not by 4000 calories. Frustrating.

    101 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Nov 26, 2022 Starting Date

    My Name is Donna, Age 62. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA

    My mini-challenge is to lose 10 pounds by Easter 2023. I started my efforts on Dec. 10th weighing 198.4. My wish is to weigh 188.4 by Easter April 9th, 2023. That gives me about 4 months to lose 10 pounds. Sounds easy but, trust me, it won’t be. Especially when outside exercise is so limited for me this slippery time of year!

    145320379.png

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


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

    Goal This Round: 181.2
    Starting Weight (from End of Last Challenge): : 196.2

    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 01-11/26-196.6-(Trend weight 198.1) My day one starts immediately on the day following the final day of the last challenge. It will end on March 6th with everyone else but that will make it 101 days for me.

    Day 55-01/19-196.0-(Trend weight 198.1) I am so so so so happy to see that 196 stuck, even without medication yesterday because of travel. It was not exactly a banner day yesterday for me. Lesson learned.


    Day 56-01/20-196.8-(Trend weight 198.0) Well….that non-banner day on Wednesday has shown up I suppose. Yesterday was all within calorie and carb goal. 40 minutes of exercise bike and food spread out nice and evenly throughout the day. My daughter and DGS are back until late Sunday evening. I pushed her cheesecake onto her and DGS. I made sugar-free jello for me and my son. Hadn’t had it in awhile. Yum! I allowed for a dollop of redi-whip in the can (only 1 carb). I’ll be making this more often I think. It was very satisfying.

    @deepwoodslady

    I eat sugar free jello pretty much every night, with very low cal cool whip sort of stuff. I make a whole package into one bowl, and always have 3 or 4 made and ready in the fridge. Right now it has been Strawberry and Raspberry, the cherry one is harder to find, but it is good too.
    Which flavour do you like?

    It last me I feel like 1/2 hour while I am watching some HGTV show or another. I think that it is 20 calories, I have it in my tracker so just click on it with 3-6 tablespoons of the whip. Apparently gelatin is good for the hair and nails?

    December 10th weight: 143.2 (but I was 141.8 the following day so I might use that)

    3rd Week Goal Weight: 139.4 - (Ambitious)
    3rd Week Actual Weight: 144.2 - Somehow put on 3 pounds while down sick for 1 day! Started the week at 142.4
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 6063 = 866.14 average over 7 days - Really big calorie burn this past week except for the day that I was sick

    4th Week Goal Weight: 139.6 - (Ambitious)

    Excess calories burned (In the green): 3563 = 509 average over 7 days

    5th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Not likely with holiday eating, but going to plunk in this number until I hit it. Turned out that Turkey dinners carefully portioned actually lost me weight this week.

    Excess calories burned (In the green): 4496 = 642 average over 7 days.

    6th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
    6th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 145.4
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 986 - Even 1150 eating days didn't give me much excess because of low exercise during my sore ankle and subsequent steroid injection into it.


    7th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
    7th Week Actual Weight: 143.6 Started the week at 144.2. I had Ribs, and may have them one more time during this 100
    Excess calories burned (In the green): 2762, 394.7 average over 7 days, I know that this needs to be higher to lose weight. Ankle is getting there, so hopefully soon I can get back to it.

    Day 50 – 1/15 - 143.8 - Not too much fallout from the Ribs. I took out a Mumbai chicken breast for dinner later, will have potato (or rice) and veg with it. I seem to do well during the weekdays with my weight and then it jumps on the weekends. I need to address that I suppose, I do generally indulge in a bit of "bad" stuff on Friday nights, I don't get the steps in on the weekends like I do on weekdays from waitressing, although I do work out more on the weekends. I want to do a workout with weights every Saturday, I did yesterday. The weather has been awful here, 5-7C the last few days, puddles on top of ice, huge ruts in the icy road where it has melted weird. Definitely no trails or anything. There is public skating today, I may try to go. Ankle is sore today, so we'll see.
    Day 51 – 1/16 - 144.2 - Ouch. Continued fallout from the weekend. No split shifts this week (so far) so hoping to get this down fast. Cooking veggies for 2 nights of dinners this morning.
    Day 52 – 1/17 - 143.4 - I had souvlaki marinated pork, 2 veggies and a bit of potato. Delicious. Going to have that again tonight, or I might make some palak paneer. I am also ready to do another batch of jambalaya/gumbo with a new (to me) type of sausage, Hungarian. I have lots of my own peppers and tomatoes frozen, plus lots of onions and garlic left from my garden, shredded chicken and prawns are also in the freezer ready to go into it.
    Day 53 – 1/18 - 143.6 - I didn't end up cooking after work yesterday, but I have lots and lots of food in the freezer that I pre-portioned after all of that harvest cooking that I did before closing my garden for the winter.
    Day 54 – 1/19 - 143.4 - Bad ankle flare up in bed last night, so low on sleep this morning. As of this week no more split shifts for the foreseeable future. I went to public skating (33 minutes I lasted) for the first time since the steroid shot. I really hope that they aren't related and that it is just the steroid slow release attacking the inflammation. There was supposed to be a steroid "flare" in the first 48 hours, which I didn't get. Going to take it as easy as I can today, although I need at least a few dance songs to loosen up the rest of my body to prepare for the workday.
    Day 55 – 1/20 - 142.4 - I slept longer than usual, so that might account for the drop. I took Tylenol PM last night since my ankle kept me awake all of Wednesday night after skating : - ( Short shift today and then I will try to stay off of it for the most part. I really really want to do the public skating at the arena on Sunday, but ankle is very sore.
    Day 56 – 1/22

    Day 53: Tues, 1/17: 145.6 - Up two pounds. Maybe due to a high sodium dinner last night? Also had 1 glass of red wine, although I'm not sure if that was a contributing factor in my weight increase.
