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 66-01/30-194.8-(Trend weight 197.2) Whoosh! I’m very happy today and I plan on not allowing my travel for the next 3 days to upend my progress. I’ve been working very hard for this. Gotta stay strong! On my personal Easter challenge: If I can get to the halfway point in time (Feb 9th) and find myself at the halfway point in weight (193.4) I will be so proud of myself and hopeful that I can do this if I really really put in the work. Sometimes it feels like no matter what I do…….. Well, you get it! Anyway, today my frown is upside down! Yay! Pre-planning and Pre-logging is making all the difference for me!
Day 67-01/31-194.8-(Trend weight 197.0) I had a horrible binge last night on my “diet foods” that ended up putting me at over 3000 calories and over 200 carbs, Amazingly, my weight stayed the same after fervent prayer before weighing in. I know it can show up a day or two later so I’m not feeling super confident yet. This was self-sabotage because of my recent weight drops and because of the final weigh in this morning for another challenge I participate in. My self-sabotage has got to stop. I deserve to do well and to be healthier.

Hi Donna.
I was thinking about sweeteners and remembered Stevia. Where does it fall in spiking blood sugars? It is just leaves, and again, much sweeter than white refined sugar.
Personally, I don't use sweets (prefer the same calories to be used on a steak), but I have grown Stevia just because. Very easy, a small pot and a plant grows very easily, at least in Canada.
I see lots of it on the grocery shelves in its processed states also.1 -
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.
8th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
8th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 143.8
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2983 = 426.14 - a little closer to my goal of 500 per day averaged out over the week.
9th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
9th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3791, which works out to an average of 541.57 over 7 days. First time that I have hit my goal of 500+ per week in quite a while, and it shows on the scale!
Day 64 – 1/30 - 143.2 - Up a bit from yesterday, but not too much. Going to make yet another Jambalaya today and pack it into portions for the freezer. Of course I will eat one of those portions for dinner tonight. Shovelled like crazy yesterday, which I love. The weather was perfect, but has dipped to minus 25 this morning, so I am glad that I got out to do that activity before the deep freeze. I will fit lots of bits of dancing in today, not even going to go outside I think.
Day 65 – 1/31 - 145.8 - No!! No idea where that came from. Lots of exercise, calories low. I don't get it. Hoping that it is just some weird sort of fluctuation in the wrong direction.
Day 66 – 2/1 - DNW - I have been having some elimination issues from running out the door for work before work (yesterday), so had a huge glass of water and coffee this morning, too late to weigh. Yesterday I weighed before running out to do a job, but my routine was disrupted.
Day 67 – 2/2
Day 68 – 2/3
Day 69 – 2/4
Day 70 – 2/5

Hi Donna.
I was thinking about sweeteners and remembered Stevia. Where does it fall in spiking blood sugars? It is just leaves, and again, much sweeter than white refined sugar.
Personally, I don't use sweets (prefer the same calories to be used on a steak), but I have grown Stevia just because. Very easy, a small pot and a plant grows very easily, at least in Canada.
I see lots of it on the grocery shelves in its processed states also.
@dawnbgethealthy I have Stevia and I think it is an acceptable sweetner but it really doesn't taste that great. That is currently what I use in the occasional tea that I have. Hoping for something that tastes better that is acceptable but if all else fails, I will stick with Stevia.1 -
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 67-01/31-194.8-(Trend weight 197.0) I had a horrible binge last night on my “diet foods” that ended up putting me at over 3000 calories and over 200 carbs, Amazingly, my weight stayed the same after fervent prayer before weighing in. I know it can show up a day or two later so I’m not feeling super confident yet. This was self-sabotage because of my recent weight drops and because of the final weigh in this morning for another challenge I participate in. My self-sabotage has got to stop. I deserve to do well and to be healthier.
Day 68-02/01-194.6-(Trend weight 196.7)Travel was cancelled yesterday so I went to the school and walked for almost 50 minutes. It was more interesting than the treadmill at home. I also visited my older friend who is having a birthday. I stopped and got her a Chocolate Mocha Frappe’ to enjoy and only got myself a black coffee. I am very proud of myself for that but I knew I didn’t deserve anything more after yesterday’s fiasco. I’m proud of myself for resisting. Travel today.

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.
8th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
8th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 143.8
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2983 = 426.14 - a little closer to my goal of 500 per day averaged out over the week.
9th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
9th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3791, which works out to an average of 541.57 over 7 days. First time that I have hit my goal of 500+ per week in quite a while, and it shows on the scale!
Day 64 – 1/30 - 143.2 - Up a bit from yesterday, but not too much. Going to make yet another Jambalaya today and pack it into portions for the freezer. Of course I will eat one of those portions for dinner tonight. Shovelled like crazy yesterday, which I love. The weather was perfect, but has dipped to minus 25 this morning, so I am glad that I got out to do that activity before the deep freeze. I will fit lots of bits of dancing in today, not even going to go outside I think.
Day 65 – 1/31 - 145.8 - No!! No idea where that came from. Lots of exercise, calories low. I don't get it. Hoping that it is just some weird sort of fluctuation in the wrong direction.
Day 66 – 2/1 - DNW - I have been having some elimination issues from running out the door for work before work (yesterday), so had a huge glass of water and coffee this morning, too late to weigh. Yesterday I weighed before running out to do a job, but my routine was disrupted.
Day 67 – 2/1 - 143.6 - I see that my dates are all off, not sure where I went wrong on that. Wednesday morning now.
Day 68 – 2/2
Day 69 – 2/3
Day 70 – 2/4

Day 50: Sat, 1/14: 144.6
Day 51: Sun, 1/15: 143.8
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.
Day 54: Wed, 1/18: 144
Day 55: Thur, 1/19: 143.3
Day 56: Fri, 1/20: 143.8
Day 57: Sat, 1/21: 143.6 - Stayed on track with my meals yesterday and got a workout in. No change in weight for 3 days.
Day 58: Sun, 1/22: 143.8 - 4th day no change in weight. I did have potato chips and a McDouble from McDonald's yesterday, so I guess I should be happy my weight didn't go up.
Day 59: Mon, 1/23: 144.2
Day 60: Tues, 1/24: 143.1
Day 61: Wed, 1/25: 143.1 - Lost only 1.5 lbs in 11 days. I've always been a slow loser, but it can feel discouraging at times.
Day 62: Thurs 1/26: 143.1
Day 63: Fri 1/27: 145.2 - Paying the price in weight for last night's wonderful dinner with friends!
Day 64: Sat 1/28: DNW - Rice included with dinner. 2nd day with extra carbs.
Day 65: Sun 1/29: DNW - Rice with lunch and pasta for dinner. Not good.
Day 66: Mon 1/30: 145.3 - Need to reel back on the carbs!
Day 67: Tues 1/31: 142.3 - This weigh-in was on a scale at the doctor's office. I should have weighed on the scale at home too, so I could compare. Anyway, just found out my cholesterol levels are high! Not good.
Day 68: Wed 2/1: 145.4 - Today is a new day. Need to figure out a plan to bring my cholesterol levels down. I don't want to be on medication for it.2 -

Didn't think I was going to make my goal as this week's been a bit unsettled with guests over the weekend and air travel mid week but thankfully things worked out. I expect my losses to slow down now as I get into the groove and past the initial water weight whoosh.

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.
8th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
8th Week Actual Weight: 142.8 Started the week at 143.8
Excess calories burned (In the green): 2983 = 426.14 - a little closer to my goal of 500 per day averaged out over the week.
9th Week Goal Weight: 139.2 - Putting this number in until I hit it
9th Week Actual Weight: 142.6 Started the week at 143.6
Excess calories burned (In the green): 3791, which works out to an average of 541.57 over 7 days. First time that I have hit my goal of 500+ per week in quite a while, and it shows on the scale!
Day 64 – 1/30 - 143.2 - Up a bit from yesterday, but not too much. Going to make yet another Jambalaya today and pack it into portions for the freezer. Of course I will eat one of those portions for dinner tonight. Shovelled like crazy yesterday, which I love. The weather was perfect, but has dipped to minus 25 this morning, so I am glad that I got out to do that activity before the deep freeze. I will fit lots of bits of dancing in today, not even going to go outside I think.
Day 65 – 1/31 - 145.8 - No!! No idea where that came from. Lots of exercise, calories low. I don't get it. Hoping that it is just some weird sort of fluctuation in the wrong direction.
Day 66 – 2/1 - DNW - I have been having some elimination issues from running out the door for work before work (yesterday), so had a huge glass of water and coffee this morning, too late to weigh. Yesterday I weighed before running out to do a job, but my routine was disrupted.
Day 67 – 2/1 - 143.6 - I see that my dates are all off, not sure where I went wrong on that. Wednesday morning now.
Day 68 – 2/2 - 144.0 - Argh
Day 69 – 2/3

Goal 132.21 -
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.

It will end on March 6th with everyone else but that will make it 101 days for me.

Day 68-02/01-194.6-(Trend weight 196.7) Travel was cancelled yesterday so I went to the school and walked for almost 50 minutes. It was more interesting than the treadmill at home. I also visited my older friend who is having a birthday. I stopped and got her a Chocolate Mocha Frappe’ to enjoy and only got myself a black coffee. I am very proud of myself for that but I knew I didn’t deserve anything more after yesterday’s fiasco. I’m proud of myself for resisting. Travel today.
Day 69-02/02-196.6-(Trend weight 196.7) Travel, restaurant, no water pill x3, adult beverages. I didn’t like seeing this number, obviously. I will be home today and all of that will be remedied. I do have leftover Chinese food so I will be pushing water. Already sipping…..

Challenge Ending Weight:
Total Weight Loss for Challenge:
Day 50: Sat, 1/14: 144.6
Day 51: Sun, 1/15: 143.8
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.
Day 54: Wed, 1/18: 144
Day 55: Thur, 1/19: 143.3
Day 56: Fri, 1/20: 143.8
Day 57: Sat, 1/21: 143.6 - Stayed on track with my meals yesterday and got a workout in. No change in weight for 3 days.
Day 58: Sun, 1/22: 143.8 - 4th day no change in weight. I did have potato chips and a McDouble from McDonald's yesterday, so I guess I should be happy my weight didn't go up.
Day 59: Mon, 1/23: 144.2
Day 60: Tues, 1/24: 143.1
Day 61: Wed, 1/25: 143.1 - Lost only 1.5 lbs in 11 days. I've always been a slow loser, but it can feel discouraging at times.
Day 62: Thurs 1/26: 143.1
Day 63: Fri 1/27: 145.2 - Paying the price in weight for last night's wonderful dinner with friends!
Day 64: Sat 1/28: DNW - Rice included with dinner. 2nd day with extra carbs.
Day 65: Sun 1/29: DNW - Rice with lunch and pasta for dinner. Not good.
Day 66: Mon 1/30: 145.3 - Need to reel back on the carbs!
Day 67: Tues 1/31: 142.3 - This weigh-in was on a scale at the doctor's office. I should have weighed on the scale at home too, so I could compare. Anyway, just found out my cholesterol levels are high! Not good.
Day 68: Wed 2/1: 145.4 - Today is a new day. Need to figure out a plan to bring my cholesterol levels down. I don't want to be on medication for it.
Day 69: Thurs 2/2: 145.33 -

Didn't think I was going to make my goal as this week's been a bit unsettled with guests over the weekend and air travel mid week but thankfully things worked out. I expect my losses to slow down now as I get into the groove and past the initial water weight whoosh.

This week has gone by so fast! I've been feeling so fatigued lately, I don't know what's up but am thinking of making a doc appointment if it continues because I'm fed up with feeling slow and cold and down all the time. As predicted, I'm seeing my losses slow down now. I was trying to decide whether to adjust my weight loss goal for this challenge as I don't think 2lbs a week is realistic and I don't want to be demoralised by it, but I have decided to leave it as it is and see where I end up. If i lose 10lb rather than 15, that's still amazing!
Have a lovely weekend everyone
