Day 18 – Sunday July 02 76.8 kg. BMI 24.5. 2 more kilos to lose and I will be in the healthy range for my ethnicity. Hint - if you calculate BMI, use a calculator that takes into account age, gender and ethnicity, not just weight and height.
@tinathescreamer - What BMI calculator did you use? My go to is a Smart BMI that uses advice according to age and gender. It don't like the results but it is what it is until I lower my weight!

@dawnbgethealthy and @deepwoodslady - I've missed 2 days during our challenge due to getting off track with caring for my 1 year old granddaughter. We are only on day 7 today! I'm planning to make 1 up today and another tomorrow to "catch up". But in reality I'm feeling really good about our daily exercises. It is really helping me on the mindset of daily planning.
However I need to track this separately like Dawn!

Day 2 - 6/26 - 10 min on bike. 5 min strength using 3 lb weights!
Day 3 - 6/27 - Skipped exercise
Babysit younger granddaughter who couldn't go to daycare due to eye infection. Out of the house by 6am and home late.

21 Days to a NEW HABIT!2 -
Day 1 84.1 kg
Day 2 84.9 salt
Day 3 83.6
From now on I'll be posting calculated days until goal weight, probably highly optimistic initially, I'm hoping for 250-500 days
Day 4 84.1, 155 days until goal weight
Day 5 84.0, 200 days

Day 14 85.0
Day 15 85.4
Day 16 85.8
Day 17 85.4 Apologies for going quiet, I kind of was waiting for something to happen, and nothing happened. My weight has jumped up because I've been consuming a lot of noodles, which contain heaps of salt. Anyway, I saw a video of a woman who lost huge amounts of weight in a commercial 90 day weight loss challenge, I decided that I wanted to achieve 1/3 of what she achieved, so from today onward I'm aiming for 54 grams a day. That's totally achievable assuming that I'm in the right mind space.

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ June 15, 2023 thru September 22, 2023
My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
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
Previous Rounds Tally & Thoughts:
This shows the ending weights of each round:
Round #1 --- 199,8
Round #2 --- 186.8
Round #3 --- 195.6
Round #4 --- 211.0
Round #5 --- 211.3
Round #6 --- 205.4
Round #7 --- 207.6
Round #8 --- 195.2
Round #9 --- 185.2
Round #10---195.2
Round #11---200.8
Round #12---200.4
Round #13---196.2
Round #14---191.2
Round #15---194.0
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 17-07/01-197.8-(Trend weight 197.4) Today I am celebrating my son’s 27th birthday and my oldest grandson’s 17th birthday who were born on the same day. There will be food that is out-of-plan so the key will be portion control. A new month always feels so hopeful. I’m starting with a small drop on the scale which feels even better. I completed my 5 minute strength training. Let’s make July a banner month, my friends! Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian Friends.
Day 18-07/02-197.6-(Trend weight 197.5) I celebrated my son’s 27th birthday yesterday with dinner out and a very special dessert. It was nice. I gave him a few small gifts but the big one comes next month when he goes to WWE Summerslam Wrestling down in Detroit in August. An expensive trip since each ticket was $315.00 each and lots of extra expenses on top of it. But it’s a dream come true for him. His autism keeps him fixated on certain things and pro wrestling is one of them. Summerslam has not been in Detroit in 17 years so this is a rare treat. He’s very excited. I’ve added the daily strength training chart being used by Dawn & Lily. I hope I’ve done it correctly as I added it quickly based on my notes. My Scale weight is s..l..o..w..l..y trickling down this last couple of days but the trend weight is inching up each day. “Oh, Ye of Little Faith!” I say to the trendweight app.

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 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
1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
1st week actual weight: 144.4
2nd week goal weight: Less than the beginning of the week, 142.2
2nd week actual weight: 142.6, so gained 0.4
3rd week goal weight: 141.4
3rd week actual weight: 144.6 - Started the week at 142.4, so 1.8 pound gain this week
Day 17 – Saturday July 01 - 144.6. Big holiday here, Canada Day. Not really planning to be "good".
Day 18 – Sunday July 02 - 145.6 - Early weigh in, I hope that it will be gone by tomorrow
Day 19 – Monday July 03
Day 20 – Tuesday July 04
Day 21 – Wednesday July 05
Day 22 – Thursday July 06
Day 23 – Friday July 07
4th week goal weight:
4th week actual weight:
Mini 21 day Challenge - legs in the air arm weights exercises, 4-5 minutes. Will 21 days turn this into a daily habit? Hope so. Very good for us.
Day 1 - 4.5 minutes, various including skull crushers (batwings)
Day 2 - 5 minutes
Day 3 - 5 minutes - 3 exercises of 20 reps each - chest presses, flys, skull crushers. That went fast! Really nice to have legs up for a change. Tried to slow them as suggested by @Lilylady3k
Day 4 - Completely missed, I somehow couldn't find 5 minutes out of an extremely busy day.
Day 5 - 10.5 minutes. I did an extra to make up for not getting a chance the day before. Did one of them with my legs up on the bed, the other with my legs in the air which is maybe better for core. Geez, wouldn't it be great if we all changed our batwings after 21 days? We all should have measured them before this.
Day 6 - 12.5 inches is my upper arm today. Did my 5, but I think that I will need to increase the time since I am trying to do it more slowly and I want 4 essential arm/chest exercises
Day 7 - 9 minutes of legs on the bed. My four: Skull crusher, flys (flies?), bicep curls, chest presses
Start weight of this 100: 144.4 - Up one pound from the start of the last 100 of 143.4, and the previous was 142.24 -
I heard a very interesting science show on craving vs. hunger.
I will attach the link, but it is 30 minutes long so I will break down what I understand.
Since the advent of industrial food (1980 on?) the 3 main crave items have been combined: sugar, fat, salt. No food in nature contains all 3, it is not natural, but highly addictive. The cravings masquerade as hunger, they are not.
We are also influenced by settings.
We can change our bodies reactions to these offerings, but it takes time and work.
These "foods" are very bad for our bodies, cause obesity, diabetes, and other health issues.
Here is the link in case anyone wants to listen to bits of it:

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 2 Friday June 16 79 kg. No loss but maintaining is better than gaining. Didn't do much today as I'm coming down with a cold.
1st week goal weight: 78.8
1st week actual weight:79 kg
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.
Day 5 Monday June 19 78 kg. 1 kilo in 5 days? Holy cow! I feel I'm eating enough. remind self that weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. Prob this rate won't continue
Day 6 Tuesday June 20 78 kg
Day 7 Wednesday June 21 78.1 kg. Every day it isn't raining I go for at least a 60 min walk. While walking I look out for dropped coins. So far I have found 90 cents (US 54 cents) I plan to save it all and buy myself a non food treat at the end of the Challenge.
Day 8 Thursday June 22 78 kg. Keeping the salt down - but it's fat I want to lose, not water.
Day 9 Friday June 23 77.8 kg. Found $2 (US1.27) while walking. This week has def gone well.
2nd week goal weight: 78.3 kg
2nd week actual weight: 77.9 kg. Wow. Just wow. Don't know if this rate will continue, but I'll take the loss so far.
Day 10 Saturday June 24 77.8 kg
Day 11 Sunday June 25 78kg. Going in the wrong direction! So what did I do? Spent the day eating buttered toast and honey.
Day 12 Monday June 26 77.8 kg. Feeling lazy today so bought some potato salad for lunch. The spuds were undercooked and the mayo so sweet my teeth almost fell out. Maybe my tastebuds are becoming accustomed to less sugar? I am trying to avoid sauces and dressings and just using herbs and spices in cooking.
Day 13 Tuesday June 27 77.9 kg. Eating too much bread.
Day 14 Wednesday June 28 77.5 kg. Raining today so didn't walk. Drinking a load of black coffee which acts as an appetite suppressant for me.
Day 15 Thursday June 29 77.6 kg. Tried on a size 16D bra, was a little loose. Tried on an old 14C, was a bit too tight. How uncomfortable do I want to be until I lose a little more weight?
Day 16 Friday June 30 77.4 kg
3rd week goal weight: 77.2
3rd week actual weight: 77.4 Didn't quite reach target but I'll take the loss anyway.

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 / Weight Daily Weigh In / Trend Weight / Comments report day of steps & activity with notes from the day before
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 (walk 1.34) 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 - 4209 steps 1.63 miles. No gardening or exercise. 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 - 229.9 / 230.2 - 10024 steps 3.77 miles (2.81 mi walk) Today I plan to walk!! I'm also going to help DD prep for my granddaughter's first birthday party on Saturday before heading to book club tonight at a Mexican restaurant. I did my mammogram and went to watercolor class yesterday. Great day on snacking but fast food for lunch and too much wine watching LSU baseball. -457 remaining calories.
Day 8: 6/22 - 230.2 / 230.2 - 4795 steps 1.91 miles SODIUM?? DH & I talked … I think I’m going to not walk for a while because I barely made it home yesterday and my knees are worse. So instead the plan is to build up strength in my knees with on my indoor bike for the next month. It will be a lot less pounding than walking. Yesterday at book club I planned to eat a salad at the Mexican restaurant but chose half order of chicken quesadillas. -315 remaining calories.
Day 9: 6/23 - 228.6 / 229.7 - 7272 steps 2.7 miles (1.06 mi walk) biked 10 min and then did my Strength Training class skipping anything that might harm my knees more … so mainly upper body stuff. Sporting clays with Lady Clay Shooters Summer League now on Thursdays in this darn heat for 1.5 hrs! Fun but I’m a terrible shot since I’ve not gone shooting for a year. But I did walk the course to the 10 stations even though I was offered to ride in a friend’s golf cart. AF when I got home in the evening. I like sporting clays because it is an activity with friends where I’m not eating or drinking!!! -76 remaining calories.
2nd week goal weight: < 230 until I maintain it! Don’t let it slip back up into the 30s
2nd week actual weight: 228.6
2nd week weight loss: 1
Challenge weight lost: 2.2
Challenge weight to go: 9.6
Got back under 230 now to keep that over the weekend with my granddaughter’s first birthday party. Next target it 226 which was the lowest I hit last round before vacation.
Day 10: 6/24 - 230 / 229.8 - 6331 steps 2.44 miles, 10 min on the bike. Too much olive tapas! Trader Joe's Olive Tapenade spread on toasted French bread YUMMY, homemade spaghetti, and wine last night. Enjoyed watching Avatar Way of Water (3 hrs!) Lots of little exercises yesterday … baby steps. Today’s challenge will be my granddaughter’s 1 year old birthday party. -405 remaining calories.
Day 11: 6/25 - 230.1 / 229.8 - 3829 steps 1.44 miles, 10 min on bike and 5 min strength with feet up using 3 lb weights! Darn scale! Not doing my 3 mile walks is killing me. The weekend indulgences need to come to an end … such a hard habit to break. Stayed away from the birthday cake, popsicles, watermelon margaritas, beer, etc yesterday. Stuck with the fruit on the table. Actually came home hungry! LOL DH and I then had ice cream at home! My activity for yesterday was picking up and running after my little granddaughters which is a lot of fun. -238 remaining calories.
STARTING 21 day challenge ... feet up and 5 mins of hand weights (or even cans from the pantry) doing flys, tricep extensions, chest presses. Something simple that doesn't require much effort but gets us in to better habits. JOIN US!!!
Day 12: 6/26 - 230.2 / 230.0 - 4130 steps 1.59 miles, 5 flights, 10 min on bike and 5 min strength with feet up using 3 lb weights! Then my regular strength training class. Well the Marie Calendar Chicken Pot Pie for lunch yesterday is NOT diet friendly! Oh my! Then too much wine with dinner resulted in my trend going back up to the 30s. -818 remaining calories.
Day 13: 6/27 - 230.3 / 230.1 - 5780 steps 2.22 miles Well I’m not eating diet food nor controlling portions so the results are earned. Need to focus. Taking care of my granddaughter today since she can’t go to daycare so away from my normal routine as well as skipping my watercolor class. LSU Baseball won the College World Series! Way to GEAUX Tigers! -245 remaining calories
Day 14: 6/28 - 230.5 / 230.2 - 3263 steps 1.26 miles Great day babysitting my older granddaughter. Left the house later and was able to get my 5 min of strength and 10 min on bike! -958 remaining calories
Day 15: 6/29 - DNW - 6384 steps 2.44 miles Crazy day! Totally forgot to weigh in and obviously forgot to post early in the morning as my habit. Also didn’t make it to Lady Clays Sporting Clays Summer League. But I will survive. What went right? I did 15 min on bike, 5 min strength for challenge and also gardened. Then discovered DD & her husband both had fever. So picked up younger granddaughter at daycare and have her over night. -181 remaining calories.
Day 16: 6/30 - 229.7 / 230.1 - Did not journal yesterday!!! Missed my 1 hr strength training class cause I was watching my 1 year old granddaughter while DH walked the dog. But went swimming with my granddaughter today, biked 15 min and 5 min of strength.
3rd week actual weight: 229.7
3rd week weight GAIN: 1.1
Challenge weight lost: 1.1
Challenge weight to go: 10.7
Let my weight slip back up into the 230s this week and then had to work it back down. So much going on that I’m not planning food which never works because if hungry or busy I usually make poor choices.
Day 17: 7/01 - 228.9 / 229.7 - 6090 steps 2.31 miles. 2 days and nights chasing a 1 year old! That was what I was missing before in my weight loss plan LOL! Didn’t journal yesterday and also didn’t wear my Apple Watch to track steps. I did get in my daily exercises yesterday! I was busy and the scale shows that I choose well. DH & I were both hungry before bed. He had ice cream and I choose a bowl of cherries I slept like a baby 8 hrs.
Day 18: 7/02 - 230.7 / 230.0 - 6515 steps 2.53 miles biked 15 min and 5 min of strength. Thoughts of yesterday… Well this is where you get when you don’t exercise! AND my DD & SIL brought us breakfast tacos, lunch Popeyes fried chicken & leftovers for dinner from lunch as a thank you for watching our younger granddaughter for 2 days & nights. They left around 3pm when DH & I had to run to the grocery store and prep for tomorrow’s feast. Seems the adult kids decided they are gathering at our house on Sunday for lunch. They are bringing brisket and dessert … I have the potato salad and baked beans. This weekend the scales are going wild.
Day 19: 7/03 - 230.2 / 230.0 - Weekends are a mess for my WL journey. I expected many more pounds on the scale and was nicely surprised. Yesterday kids game over and we had a feast! Today I get back on track … journaling and gardening!

21 Days to a NEW HABIT!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!

Back from my holiday, we had a great time! Lots of swimming and cycling but not that much walking as it was so hot. I definitely ate and drank more than I intended, but it was wholesome food, lots of fish, veggies, olive oil and bread. But also a LOT of wine and beer...
Back on plan for the new month and only a 2lb gain, which I think was totally worth it!

@tinathescreamer
You are in New Zealand?!
How fun for us!
I have a great deal of family in NZ, but haven't been there yet since I think that I need to have an entire month. Possibly on my 65th birthday in a few years I will take the time off.3 -
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 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
1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
1st week actual weight: 144.4
2nd week goal weight: Less than the beginning of the week, 142.2
2nd week actual weight: 142.6, so gained 0.4
3rd week goal weight: 141.4
3rd week actual weight: 144.6 - Started the week at 142.4, so 1.8 pound gain this week
Day 17 – Saturday July 01 - 144.6. Big holiday here, Canada Day. Not really planning to be "good".
Day 18 – Sunday July 02 - 145.6 - Early weigh in, I hope that it will be gone by tomorrow
Day 19 – Monday July 03 - 145.6 - I feel like this will drop. Wasn't perfect yesterday because of adult beverages which both @Lilylady3k and I know inhibit weight loss 100% of the time despite lots of activity and careful eating.

Mini 21 day Challenge - legs in the air arm weights exercises, 4-5 minutes. Will 21 days turn this into a daily habit? Hope so. Very good for us.
Day 1 - 4.5 minutes, various including skull crushers (batwings)
Day 2 - 5 minutes
Day 3 - 5 minutes - 3 exercises of 20 reps each - chest presses, flys, skull crushers. That went fast! Really nice to have legs up for a change. Tried to slow them as suggested by @Lilylady3k
Day 4 - Completely missed, I somehow couldn't find 5 minutes out of an extremely busy day.
Day 5 - 10.5 minutes. I did an extra to make up for not getting a chance the day before. Did one of them with my legs up on the bed, the other with my legs in the air which is maybe better for core. Geez, wouldn't it be great if we all changed our batwings after 21 days? We all should have measured them before this.
Day 6 - 12.5 inches is my upper arm today. Did my 5, but I think that I will need to increase the time since I am trying to do it more slowly and I want 4 essential arm/chest exercises
Day 7 - 9 minutes of legs on the bed. My four: Skull crusher, flys (flies?), bicep curls, chest presses
Day 8 - 6 minutes with legs on the bed. This only afforded me 3 exercizes, but I feel that the skull crusher is the very most important - batwings exercise.
Start weight of this 100: 144.4 - Up one pound from the start of the last 100 of 143.4, and the previous was 142.24 -
Thank you for posting this challenge.
I’ve been around the sun 76 times, live in B.C., Canada. I have some arthritic issues but push to remain physically active. I’ve struggled with slow to nil wt loss for many years; much easier to gain than to lose. Evening / nighttime snacking is my nemesis. Use WW points to track plus working thru Noom’s new book to break bad habits and build new ones. Love kayaking (follow lakeshores) and biking.

Day 17 – Saturday July 01: road trip. Spent afternoon with a couple from Tx, who traveled up to do the 80km bike ride I had been registered for. Cindy and I have been internet friends for years ( met here when our group moved to Spark People from e-diets; then from SP we moved over to MFP). Love meeting friends in person.
Day 18 – Sunday July 02: On the road again. Picked up DGS from son's, dropped in to visit family on the way home.
Day 19 – Monday July 03: 166 . adding a self-challenge, getting back to Journaling ... how many consequetive days can I post total WW food points?

My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
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
Previous Rounds Tally & Thoughts:

Round #12---200.4
Round #13---196.2
Round #14---191.2
Round #15---194.0
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 17-07/01-197.8-(Trend weight 197.4)
Day 18-07/02-197.6-(Trend weight 197.5) I celebrated my son’s 27th birthday yesterday with dinner out and a very special dessert. It was nice. I gave him a few small gifts but the big one comes next month when he goes to WWE Summerslam Wrestling down in Detroit in August. An expensive trip since each ticket was $315.00 each and lots of extra expenses on top of it. But it’s a dream come true for him. His autism keeps him fixated on certain things and pro wrestling is one of them. Summerslam has not been in Detroit in 17 years so this is a rare treat. He’s very excited. I’ve added the daily strength training chart being used by Dawn & Lily. I hope I’ve done it correctly as I added it quickly based on my notes. My Scale weight is s..l..o..w..l..y trickling down this last couple of days but the trend weight is inching up each day. “Oh, Ye of Little Faith” I say to the trendweight app.
Day 19-07/03-196.6-(Trend weight 197.4) A nice step in the right direction. I’ve been doing my strength training with the weights by laying on the floor and putting my feet up on the couch. I don’t have any weights between the 2 pounders and the 5 pounders. But I do have some arm/ankle weights I can add to my wrists when the time comes. I am also using the bands which offer me much more weight resistance than my 2 pound arm weights. Bat-wings be gone or at least firm up a bit!

Day 5 Monday June 19 142.5
Day 6 Tuesday June 20 142.7 – Still hanging in the 142s. Leaving for a short trip on Thursday night. Won’t be weighing in from Fri – Sun. I just hope I can at least maintain my current weight. Next Mon / Tues will tell all.
Day 7 Wednesday June 21 143.1 – Unnecessary carb intake yesterday. Need to put in a workout this afternoon.
Day 8 Thursday June 22 141.4 – Almost to my goal for this week. Stayed on course yesterday with what I ate, and had a workout session on my Peloton bike, as well as some upper body toning. I leave tonight for a long weekend trip to Oahu so won't be able to log my weight for the next 3 days. I’ll try my best to keep the carbs and sugar at a minimum. And will try to get some laps in at the hotel’s pool. But mainly I want to spend time with my daughter who goes to school there and to shop for some clothes as Maui is very limited on clothing stores these days.
Day 9 Friday June 23 –
2nd week goal weight: 141.1
2nd week actual weight: DNW [travel]
3rd/ Current week:
Day 10 Saturday June 24 DNW – [travel]
Day 11 Sunday June 25 DNW – [travel]
Day 12 Monday June 26 142.8 – So I gained a little over a pound since I last weighed (last Thurs). Tomorrow’s weight should show the final weight gained from my weekend travels… usually shows up about 2 days later. Back on the wagon today.
Day 13 Tuesday June 27 142.4 – Stayed in control with food yesterday and got a workout in (15-min kettlebells, 15-min core, 10-min peloton climb).
Day 14 Wednesday June 28 142.8 – I deserve this bump up. Gave in to sugar cravings yesterday and did not exercise.
Day 15 Thursday June 29 142.1 – Moderate consumption of sugar and potato chips yesterday, but I got a 50-min Peloton workout in which maybe kept the insulin spike in balance. I have one more day to lose a pound to put me at my goal weight for this week.
Day 16 Friday June 30 142.4 – Shucks, didn’t reach my weekly goal. Oh well, just keep going. Got a workout in yesterday: 20-min kettlebell, 10-min abs, and 15 min. Peloton ride. Had some unhealthy snacks (Oreos & potato chips) in the afternoon and a late, heavy dinner last night.
3rd week goal weight: 141.1
3rd week actual weight: 142.4
3rd week result: .4 lb loss
Overall challenge result: .9 lb loss
Week 4:
Day 17 – Saturday July 01 142.4
Day 18 – Sunday July 02 DNW
Day 19 – Monday July 03 DNW – Still need to work on my all or nothing tendency. Went to a party yesterday and enjoyed the food and desserts. I should have been satisfied and stopped there. But no, once I got home I continued with the junk food. Why can’t I just be satisfied with an intermittent splurge? Why do I have to continue until I go to bed? The trigger is real. I have to find a way to balance food.
