Ultimate goal 70 kg
Day 1 Thursday June 15 Already the 15th on my side of the world. 79 kg. I am at 25 BMI but my ethnicity calls for a lower BMI to get in a healthy weight range. Went for a 3 hour walk. went 1 cal over my net limit.

Day 3 Saturday June 17 78.8 kg
Day 4 Sunday June 18 78.4 kg. still coughing quite badly and food doesn't taste great, so keeping the calories down.

About me:Hi all, I'm Rowan, I live in Northamptonshire, UK.
I have been off and on MFP since 2013 and have been 128lbs at my lowest, 180.8lbs at my highest.
In the summer of 2021, I was at my highest weight and feeling utterly sick, tired, and depressed. I restarted tracking my calories, with no exercise other than walking 5 miles a day most days, and managed to lose 43lbs in about 5 months. But then I took a break in March last year and didn't come back until January this year, by which time I'd regained 26lbs. So I got back in the game and am now down 23lbs since then. It's taking me twice as long to lose weight this time, possibly because I was eating an unhealthily low amount of calories last time and lost a lot of muscle mass rapidly.
For exercise I walk 4.5 miles in the morning most days and do strength training at the gym for 1hr+ 4 days a week.
I have a health tracker watch which tells me that I have a BMR of 1258 calories a day and on days that I work out and walk I burn around 2,200 calories in 24hrs, 1500 calories on days that I don't, so exercising is very important in helping me get a calorie deficit, as well as being great for my overall health. I aim to eat around 1200 calories a day with a focus on fibre and protein and am doing my best to cut out alcohol but am still having the occasional drink at the moment, so something to work on.
The maths suggests I should be able to eat more than 1200, but in practice I have found I don't lose on anything higher but I might try to play around with increasing my intake on my more active days and see what happens.
I have a BMI of 24.8 and I have a high body fat percentage of 36.5%, so I need to lower my body fat by about 18lbs whilst maintaining my muscle mass as much as possible, to get it down to 28% and be within a healthy range.
So that's 63,000 calories to burn to equal 18lbs of fat, yikes! I'm just going to focus on 7lbs for this challenge, or 24,500, or 1,750 for half a pound a week, lol.
Sorry for the essay! Good luck to everyone, we can do this!

Info from last day of round #15.
Day 100: 6/14 - 230.8 / 231.4 - 12452 steps 4.9 miles (3.1 mile walk)
Day 1: 6/15 - 229.7 / 231.2 - 11781 steps 4.58 miles (3 mile walk) - I use free version of Happy Scale app to track trend weight and next 5 lb goal. Spent time today catching up my weight entries to monitor trends. Cannot believe I’ve not entered the updates since Oct 20, 2022! I probably could have just skipped since my Trend Weight doesn’t really reflect since I was on vacation and not tracking daily weigh ins but I did it anyway. Feels like I’m back and focused.
I have it set to track trend weights based on the previous 14 days using Happy Scale smoothing method
Day 2: 6/16 - 229.6 / 230.8 - 6328 steps 2.4 miles Lots of water, 2 days of walking the dog 3 miles and journaling every bite with remaining calories in the green is paying off. No walk Friday to rest my knees.
1st week goal weight: < 230
1st week actual weight: 229.6
1st Week Weight Loss: 1.2

Challenge weight to go: 10.6
Working my way back down from the 4.5 lb gain on a 15 day vacation. The initial weigh in for this challenge was a day after 24+ hours of travel on 3 flights with layovers. So lots of bloat which I expected to peal off easily. Now for the hard work. I’m happy to be back under 230!
Day 3: 6/17 - 229.7 / 230.5 - 4533 steps 1.77 miles Gardened instead of walking to continue resting my knees. Yesterday snacked a little too much while also skipping exercise to baby my knees! Started off well with blueberries but then ended up eating rainbow sherbet, cheese & crackers, and Pepperidge Farm cookies. Journaled everything which is my positive note. -957 remaining calories.
Day 4: 6/18 - 229.1 / 230 - 5738 steps 2.27 miles Plans to weed more today as the garden got out of hand while we were on vacation. Better snacking day yesterday and pre-journaled my day with the exception of the veggies since I wasn’t sure what DIL had in mind as we celebrated Father’s Day with them last night. -836 remaining calories but my net carbs 84 for the day was great since they do Keto LOL
Day 5: 6/19 - 230.7 / 230.1 - Let myself slip back into the 230s ARGH! To much pie this weekend and no formal exercise since I’m resting my knees. Can’t seem to get enough sleep. 10 hrs of sleep during the night and still took an hour nap in the afternoon Sunday. Really good not snacking but did polish off the Father’s Day lemon meringue pie after lunch & dinner. Journaled everything again -151 remaining calories but feels worse than yesterday.

Disappointed in this morning's wt. Biked Friday and something really irritated my hip. Super sore hip yesterday plus digestive tract is retaining, Will have to rethink the meds I'm taking for the arthritis. Retired in 2019. A year later I felt there was still "more" to my life so applied for a parttime job as, what I thought was a chef's helper ( dietary aide) at an assisted seniors' centre. Midway thru the interview I realized the 'job' was as a server ... paused, thought about stopping the interview, then thought "what the heck, let's see where this takes me". Now 2 1/2 years later I love my job. Work 3 days a week and it's hard work, but working with 80 and 90 year olds is so rewarding. But I struggle on work days because I'm right in the midst of amazing food and it's so hard to resist a taste here of cake here, a sausage there etc. But today I regroup (Thank God for Mondays!), and back to getting the next 3 lbs off.
Dawn, I'm just ?5hrs north of you at 108/100 Mile area. Must run, start work at soon.7 -
@tinacuso
Upstate New York is soooo beautiful!!
I really do enjoy knowing approximately where we all are : - )5 -
@Lilylady3k
I am sure that your sleep is out of whack after traveling.
Also I remember how you were getting NO sleep basically when you were on those meds.
Totally relate to the garden getting out of control - in my case because I had no days off for 12. I just had 2 days off and got a bunch done, but not enough. We are extremely windy right now, and dropped down in temperature severely. This day last year was 42c here, this morning it was 7c. Really not good at all for my garden.
I am ready to reseed my lettuce bed amongst other things, but the gusty winds are preventing me from being able to do that.
Due for a photo of your garden : - )4 -
@Lynn__W
Wow! That is exactly the second job that I will be starting over the next few weeks. Just waiting on my CRC (Criminal Record Check) to clear. I have completed all of the other processes.
I feel better knowing that you enjoy it, and also that it is busy. My shifts will be 4 hours, 5 evenings per week. I can get through 4 hours easier if I am busy : - )5 -
Hi everyone.
I am Dawn. 5'2", 62 years old.
My BMI and stuff like that shows my optimum healthy weight should be between 110 and 118.
I am not cutting out any food groups, or anything at all really because I want weight loss to be sustainable for life. I have learned to have less of certain things, and have moved some other stuff to once per week or once per 3 months (Ribs, very fattening). If I thought that I couldn't have them at all I believe that it would be worse. For the most part I eat very healthy foods.
I have had quite a bit of success since I started MFP October 28.18, but this past year has been an almost 15 pound gain after being in the 130s for 2 years.
I love this long length of 100 days, and seeing how each week is going,
I have made a decision to limit restaurant food to 6 times per year since I seem to gain a few pounds each time which could take 3-6 months to get back off from one visit.
Rolling total so far: 2 out of the 6
Best of luck to everyone.
1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
1st week actual weight: 144.4
Day 3 Saturday June 17 - 142.2 - I was so busy with 2 jobs yesterday that I had a hard time getting food in. That was day 12 of 12 workdays in a row. I went grocery shopping at 8pm and Ribs were on sale. Yup, I ate a rack of Ribs last night. I was feeling very lean all day, leaner and leaner as the day went on. I wonder what my weight would be today had I not eaten Ribs. Soooo, that it is for Ribs for me for 3 more months. I used to eat them once per week, that was part of me ending up at 207 pounds, not ideal for 5'2". I really love Ribs, I might have even enjoyed them more since I no longer have them every week. The extra pounds might come over the next few days, or not since I have been mostly burning more calories than I ate over the past week. We'll see.
Day 4 Sunday June 18 - 142.6 - Not too bad. I worked for hours digging in the yard yesterday, so burned a bunch of calories. Planning more yardwork for today, but at least the grass is all cut now : - )
Day 5 Monday June 19 - 144.0 - Not happy to see that number, hopefully tomorrow will be different. This could be fallout from Ribs on Friday.

Thoughts:
1. I am still down 17.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
2. I am up 8.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
3. I am still down 5.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to try harder and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

Day 03-06/17-196.0-(Trend weight 195.8)
Day 04-06/18-196.6-(Trend weight 195.9) I was doing great yesterday until that huge bowl of cereal at 1:00 a.m. while I was binge watching Netflix. It was more craving (sugar) than hunger. I’ve pre-logged today. I don’t think I’ll have any trouble sticking with the plan today as I travel tomorrow for the truck repairs……. The repair itself they said would take 7 hours (plus 3 extra hours of total travel time) so there will be lunch out. I’ll try to bank some extra carbs & calories for tomorrow.
Day 05-06/19-196.6-(Trend weight 196.0) A great day yesterday but I gave in to a little late night hunger and cravings. Luckily I burned extra calories doing some yard work yesterday. I don’t know why my dinners are not holding me over better. On paper, the menus sound perfect for satiety and so do the snacks. I’ve got to figure this out.

@dawnbgethealthy - Thanks for the kind words. I love living in upstate NY. I'm outside of Albany and I really like the change of seasons.5 -
About me:Hi all, I'm Rowan, I live in Northamptonshire, UK.
I have been off and on MFP since 2013 and have been 128lbs at my lowest, 180.8lbs at my highest.
In the summer of 2021, I was at my highest weight and feeling utterly sick, tired, and depressed. I restarted tracking my calories, with no exercise other than walking 5 miles a day most days, and managed to lose 43lbs in about 5 months. But then I took a break in March last year and didn't come back until January this year, by which time I'd regained 26lbs. So I got back in the game and am now down 23lbs since then. It's taking me twice as long to lose weight this time, possibly because I was eating an unhealthily low amount of calories last time and lost a lot of muscle mass rapidly.
For exercise I walk 4.5 miles in the morning most days and do strength training at the gym for 1hr+ 4 days a week.
I have a health tracker watch which tells me that I have a BMR of 1258 calories a day and on days that I work out and walk I burn around 2,200 calories in 24hrs, 1500 calories on days that I don't, so exercising is very important in helping me get a calorie deficit, as well as being great for my overall health. I aim to eat around 1200 calories a day with a focus on fibre and protein and am doing my best to cut out alcohol but am still having the occasional drink at the moment, so something to work on.
The maths suggests I should be able to eat more than 1200, but in practice I have found I don't lose on anything higher but I might try to play around with increasing my intake on my more active days and see what happens.
I have a BMI of 24.8 and I have a high body fat percentage of 36.5%, so I need to lower my body fat by about 18lbs whilst maintaining my muscle mass as much as possible, to get it down to 28% and be within a healthy range.
So that's 63,000 calories to burn to equal 18lbs of fat, yikes! I'm just going to focus on 7lbs for this challenge, or 24,500, or 1,750 for half a pound a week, lol.
Sorry for the essay! Good luck to everyone, we can do this!

My goal for 2023 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; derailed in 2022; recommit 1/3/2023)
🔹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)

Info from last day of round #15.
Day 100: 6/14 - 230.8 / 231.4 - 12452 steps 4.9 miles (3.1 mile walk)
Day 1: 6/15 - 229.7 / 231.2 - 11781 steps 4.58 miles (3 mile walk) - I use free version of Happy Scale app to track trend weight and next 5 lb goal. Spent time today catching up my weight entries to monitor trends. Cannot believe I’ve not entered the updates since Oct 20, 2022! I probably could have just skipped since my Trend Weight doesn’t really reflect since I was on vacation and not tracking daily weigh ins but I did it anyway. Feels like I’m back and focused.
I have it set to track trend weights based on the previous 14 days using Happy Scale smoothing method
Day 2: 6/16 - 229.6 / 230.8 - 6328 steps 2.4 miles Lots of water, 2 days of walking the dog 3 miles and journaling every bite with remaining calories in the green is paying off. No walk Friday to rest my knees.
1st week goal weight: < 230
1st week actual weight: 229.6
1st Week Weight Loss: 1.2
Challenge weight lost: 1.2
Challenge weight to go: 10.6
Working my way back down from the 4.5 lb gain on a 15 day vacation. The initial weigh in for this challenge was a day after 24+ hours of travel on 3 flights with layovers. So lots of bloat which I expected to peal off easily. Now for the hard work. I’m happy to be back under 230!
Day 3: 6/17 - 229.7 / 230.5 - 4533 steps 1.77 miles Gardened instead of walking to continue resting my knees. Yesterday snacked a little too much while also skipping exercise to baby my knees! Started off well with blueberries but then ended up eating rainbow sherbet, cheese & crackers, and Pepperidge Farm cookies. Journaled everything which is my positive note. -957 remaining calories.
Day 4: 6/18 - 229.1 / 230 - 5738 steps 2.27 miles Plans to weed more today as the garden got out of hand while we were on vacation. Better snacking day yesterday and pre-journaled my day with the exception of the veggies since I wasn’t sure what DIL had in mind as we celebrated Father’s Day with them last night. -836 remaining calories but my net carbs 84 for the day was great since they do Keto LOL
Day 5: 6/19 - 230.7 / 230.1 - 7852 steps 3.06 miles Let myself slip back into the 230s ARGH! Too much pie this weekend and no formal exercise since I’m resting my knees. Can’t seem to get enough sleep. 10 hrs of sleep during the night and still took an hour nap in the afternoon Sunday. Really good not snacking but did polish off the Father’s Day lemon meringue pie after lunch & dinner. Journaled everything again -151 remaining calories but feels worse than yesterday.
Day 6: 6/20 - 230.4 / 230.2 - Avoided journaling yesterday but finally came to terms with it. Lunch out with a friend at a Mexican restaurant which never helps the scale and of course is hard to journal. I didn’t eat the whole basket of chips! Counted out 12
-548 remaining calories. Not excited that my weight is in the 230s and that my trend line is going up! Need to quit resting my aching knees.
Day 7: 6/21 - -
Day 8: 6/22 - -
Day 9: 6/23 - -
2nd week goal weight: < 230 until I maintain it! Don’t let it slip back up into the 30s

I am sure that your sleep is out of whack after traveling.
Also I remember how you were getting NO sleep basically when you were on those meds.
Totally relate to the garden getting out of control - in my case because I had no days off for 12. I just had 2 days off and got a bunch done, but not enough. We are extremely windy right now, and dropped down in temperature severely. This day last year was 42c here, this morning it was 7c. Really not good at all for my garden.
I am ready to reseed my lettuce bed amongst other things, but the gusty winds are preventing me from being able to do that.
Due for a photo of your garden : - )
@dawnbgethealthy - I have the opposite problem with weather! With temps over 100 my garden is fried except for the weeds! I'm just basically cleaning things out in hopes that the weather will cool down and I can plant more herbs to help with the Mediterranean dishes I want to cook this summer.
I'm so glad to have gotten off those meds right as my cruise started. At least the sleepless nights paid off ... I've not coughed since!
Today mammogram then later this week a follow up visit with the pulmonologist. I know there is still something wrong there but not sure I'm with the right doc yet ... though he did knock out the dry cough with the steroids and heavy dose antibiotics.3 -
Disappointed in this morning's wt. Biked Friday and something really irritated my hip. Super sore hip yesterday plus digestive tract is retaining, Will have to rethink the meds I'm taking for the arthritis. Retired in 2019. A year later I felt there was still "more" to my life so applied for a parttime job as, what I thought was a chef's helper ( dietary aide) at an assisted seniors' centre. Midway thru the interview I realized the 'job' was as a server ... paused, thought about stopping the interview, then thought "what the heck, let's see where this takes me". Now 2 1/2 years later I love my job. Work 3 days a week and it's hard work, but working with 80 and 90 year olds is so rewarding. But I struggle on work days because I'm right in the midst of amazing food and it's so hard to resist a taste here of cake here, a sausage there etc. But today I regroup (Thank God for Mondays!), and back to getting the next 3 lbs off.
Dawn, I'm just ?5hrs north of you at 108/100 Mile area. Must run, start work at soon.
@Lynn__W - I retired in January 2019 as well! By September I was volunteering teaching English (ESL) to adults free through my church program Learn English Ministry 2 days per week. The students which are usually 40-80 years old are from all over the world. I love it. Definitely gives me something that feels like I'm not just being self indulgent
Congrats on taking the job and finding joy in it!!!
Oh and the aches and pains these days ... when will they sort themselves out? Got to keep moving! Senior mobility and all. Use it or lose it!4
