    For anyone who would also like to participate in the 21 day strength challenges, here are the dates for the 1st one which started last round and will finish in this round. All that is required is that you try to incorporate some sort of strength training for 5 minutes or more per day for 21 days in a row (or as best as you can). This can include arm or hand weights, resistance bands, isometrics, or anything you feel is strengthening any muscle group you choose to work on. Some of us are also putting our legs up before, during or after to help with lymphatic or general draining in our feet, ankles and legs although that is not necessary for you to do in order to join in. Here are the current 21 days:

    Hi everyone.
    I am Dawn. 5'2", 63 years old as of September 20th.
    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: 4 out of the 6

    100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Sept 23, 2023 thru Dec 31, 2023
    My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA


    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

    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
    Round #16---188.0

    Thoughts at the start of this challenge:

    1. I am down 23.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
    2. I up 2.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
    3. I am still down 11.8 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 continue to dedicate myself and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.


    “We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
    Goal This Round: 176.0 (12 lbs)
    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 188.0
    Challenge Ending Weight: xxxxx

    Strength Training Mini Challenge Round 5:
    I will continue to work on batwing arms and flabby thighs. I will also try to engage in some floor/standing/chair exercising to tighten stomach area especially.

    Day 01 - Sept 18 – 8 min with 5 lb weights, 25 min of aerobic dance, 75 min of walking in the school halls track, 15 min of regular floor exercises.
    Day 02 - Sept 19 – 5 min with 5 lb weights. Travel day for dental cleanings. Shopping day too. Not as many steps as I had hoped though.
    Day 03 - Sept 20 – 5 min with 5 lb weights. 115 min of walking at 2.5 mph. I closed all my circles on my fitbit easily (for once).
    Day 04 - Sept 21 – 5 min with 5 lb weights. 47 min on exercise bike including HIIT. Iso knee therapy x 3.

    This will be an exiting new 100 day challenge (#17) as we venture into the holiday Candy and Foodie seasons of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and Christmas.

    This is the time of year we usually beginning filling our candy dishes and it doesn't stop until our New Years Resolutions in January! This is the time that many of our weather/seasons change (depending on where you live) and outdoor activities become difficult to impossible for fitness. This is the time that many begin to gain weight.

    Some of us are here to LOSE weight, not gain it. Some of us are here to add fitness to their daily lives. Some of us (or maybe all of us) are here to get and stay as healthy as possible. Let's focus on our individual goals for this 100 days, whatever they may be. We can accomplish anything if we work together and put in the work. Weight loss is not linear. It has it's peaks and it's Valleys. It's wins and it's losses. Its numbers, patterns and NSVs that show up in unexpected ways and places. It's exciting to see what the next 100 days holds for each of us.

    I appreciate each and everyone of you for sharing your knowledge, your methods, your recipes, your product recommendations, your regimen, your vitamin or supplement protocol, your exercise routines and preferences, your downfalls and weaknesses, your great ideas and your wins. There is always more to learn and something to share. And we all love to hear about your life and your families so feel free to use this these pages as your journal or your diary. It's great that we are here for each other and its nice getting to know each and every one of you.

    Welcome back to all the old friends and a big Hello and Welcome to all the new friends. Good Luck everyone. Let's make it happen and have a little fun along the way!

    100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ Sept 23, 2023 thru Dec 31, 2023
    My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA


    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

    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
    Round #16---188.0

    Thoughts at the start of this challenge:

    1. I am down 23.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
    2. I up 2.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
    3. I am still down 11.8 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 continue to dedicate myself and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.


    “We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
    Goal This Round: 176.0 (12 lbs)
    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 188.0
    Challenge Ending Weight: xxxxx


    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 01-09/23-187.8-(Trend weight 190.6) Just a teeny tiny little drop on the scale. I will continue to experiment with zig-zagging my calories and see what happens. I think I am adding too much bread (or bread products like wraps or pita) to my day even though they are low calorie AND low to zero carb. That may be slowing me down. I will back off a little on that today though that is tough for me. I have it stuck in my head that I can’t get full unless I have bread of some sort with every meal. Working on new habits and thoughts is so hard! Good luck everyone this round. Let’s crush it!

    Back again! I went from 79 kg to 71.5 kg in the last Challenge. Planning to get down to 67 kg (147.4lb) in the next 100 days.
    Day 01-09/23-xxxxx- 71.5 kg. Received news this morning that a family member in Ireland has had a heart attack. It was partly her fault because she heard of my weight loss success and tried to go on a crazy sort of almost religious diet with nothing but raw fruit and walking 18,000 steps a day. At 62 years old! Luckily she is recovering well, but it makes me more careful about sticking to a slow, sustainable rate. The tortoise always beats the hare.

    Day 02-09/24-xxxxx- 72 kg. Unsure of my BMI because I used to be 5' 10" (177.8 cm) but now I've lost, maybe an inch? Or Two? I'll tentatively say 175 cm. So 23.5 BMI. PRetty good, but I'd like to, ideally, 22. But will settle for 22.5.

    Hi. I’m Lynn, 76, 5’2”, from B.C., Canada. Just printed the previous 100 Day challenge and titling it “Diary of a Backslide”. This’ll be my 2nd 100 day challenge ..


    Day 01-09/23- 171.4 Met Clare at Lac des Roche; slow 2 ½ hr paddle yesterday. Struggled a bit carrying kayaks back up to cars. Need to work on rebuilding climbing strength and ‘getting my breath back’. Spent a lot of time on phone with DS1 and his triangle of people.

    Day 02-09/24: 173.4 Kinda bummed about my wt but probably a ‘catch up’ from the cake etc on Thursday. Made a BD supper complete with carrot cake but friend canceled at last minute; pleaded covid contact. Purchased stair stepper. Did short workout on bike and stepper but cut short because of darkness.

    Hi I'm Jenny from the Bronx, NY - 58 years old, 5' 6", and struggled my whole life with food. I was already at my top weight and then gained another 20 pounds during the pandemic that I keep gaining and losing. I'm working hard to get back to a weight that's not super skinny but something I can maintain and feel good at - for me that's about 175. Let's see how far I can get by the New Year! :)

    Day 01-09/23: 212.0 - Did a burpeegirl workout and yoga stretch focusing on the low back - does anyone use the Down Dog app? It's amazing & one of the few pay things ($60 US per year) I feel is totally worth it! I actually only use the yoga app - you can input the time you want, they have all sorts of different types & intensities, you can even choose the type of music and the level of voice to music, then a real person leads you through a routine that's different every time. It comes with multiple other apps - HIIT, Barre, and a meditation app as well where you can customize in the same way. I only use the restorative/gentle yoga and even then feel it's totally worth it, I love the woman's calming voice. Not to sound like a commercial but I really love it and thought I'd share. :)

    Day 02-09/24: 211.2 - So yesterday's weight was a bump up from the day before which was 211.6 - good to know that was fake! Did a longer more abs focused BG workout and yoga stretch. Today is Day 7 for me getting my act back together, and feeling so much better inside & out. Digestion (and related activites :# ) are much better, mood is stable...good to be back on my "meds" (exercise & healthy eating!)

    Thank you for keeping us going @deepwoodslady !!
    Hi everyone.
    I am Dawn. 5'2", 63 years old as of September 20th.
    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: 4 out of the 6


    Day 01-09/23 - 143.2, up 0.4 from the previous day, final weigh-in for that 100. It was a travel day so I didn't post in here until now. It was raining, so it was a very lovely drive albeit long since there were a few construction stoppages. I stopped at a small hike to a waterfall : - )

    g3dgn9mrbuyw.jpg
    Up at the summit of the drive, one actually drives through clouds. Cool : - )
    j0tpx6clo1td.jpg



    Day 02-09/24 - 143.8 - Ouch. I did 20 minutes of Fitness Marshall before hitting the road, but had done 65+ minutes of it each day that I was in the Shushwap. Other than the small hike to the waterfall I sat in the car for 9 hours. Taking a couple of days off at home before going back to work. I may (probably will before the temps drop too low and I am too busy working 2 jobs) do some garden harvest and possibly some cooking.

    Week 1 actual weight
    Accumulated Loss or Gain:

    Mini 21 day Challenge
    Legs straight up (draining) with arm weights exercises, 4-6-ish minutes.
    Round 1, June 25.23 start: 12.5" start, 11.75" end.
    Round 2: 11.75" start, 11.5" Even though my weight is higher, my batwings are getting smaller?
    I have a mole, so it is easy to measure in exactly the same place.
    Round 3: 11.5" - Wow, a whole inch off of my upper arm since beginning this!!
    Round 4: 11.0" start 11.5- So pleased!!
    Round 5: September 18 - October 08

    Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive new habit.


    Day 01 - Sept 18 – 5:42 of 20 reps of the 3: skull crushers, biceps, chest presses
    Day 02 - Sept 19 – 6:48 of the 3
    Day 03 - Sept 20 – 7:38 of the 3
    Day 04 - Sept 21 – 6:48 - My elbows were sore in bed last night, could be any of the 3 exercises. I might try to skip it for tonight. I will copy paste this over to the new 100 as well.

    @deepwoodslady

    I am the opposite as far as getting outdoor activity in the spring, fall, and winter.
    I rarely hike in the summers because it is too hot and I am busy in the garden or if I have the time off just laying on my floatie in a lake : - )

    I think that I generally lose more weight in the other 3 seasons, because I get outside.

    Trudging through the snow and shoveling burns lots of calories, as does cross country skiing and skating on the lakes. Sadly, I don't think that I will be doing much skating going forward since the x-rays came back showing arthritis in the knee. Of course the best way to deal with arthritis is to stay active and keep those joints lubricated. Skating is like a continual squat however.

    If you are zig-zagging (I will have to Google that) you will be making time for the foods that you like to eat around the holidays, but placing them strategically in your zig-zag for the big days : - )

    @dawnbgethealthy

    Glad to see you made it home safely. It's great that you have a few extra days to yourself before going back to your grueling schedule.

    In regards to zig-zagging: I don't get to add too many calories and it's not as often as I'd like lol. I don't think it will help too much during the holidays. I normally try to eat around 1400 so the highest day on zig-zag would be 1600, but I have to take away from other days to get it. I've been adding things like 3/4 c of cottage cheese on that day which puts me just a bit under the 1600 for the day. Or sometimes a bag of skinny girl popcorn (165 cals) and a TBSP or two of sugar-free applesauce. My lowest day is 1050 calories. On the two high days (1600 and 1520) I am trying to add in something healthy but, as you know, I am not the healthiest eater. The other day I added in frozen corn with butter. An extra 200 (or 120 on the 1520 day) doesn't leave a lot of room for what is on the Christmas platters in such variety and abundance, but if I can learn restraint and control it does leave room for a cookie or two on those days. Hmmmm Restraint and Control......Nope, not yet LOL.
