    Day 02-09/24: Weighed myself and the scale said 230. I figured I probably didn't lose 7 lbs overnight, so I stepped off and on again: 235. All of this to say I'm glad I've ordered a digital scale. :D It arrived this afternoon and we'll see where we're at tomorrow morning.
    Did manage to get out for my second 45-minute walk in three days, and I'm back to tracking my food. So far so good.

    Can’t figure out how to get back in & just edit my original post counting off the days do I’ll reply here.

    Day 2 … feel a little guilty I always allow myself a treat & whatever I want for dinner on Sundays it stops me from eating anything not healthy until then but felt guilty doing it today because of the 100 day challenge.

    Still pretty much kept to my Sunday norm as I know it stops me from falling off the wagon so to speak. But I decided to not do a treat & whatever I wanted for dinner… decided to just choose one so took the treat and made a basic brown rice & bean vegan “peasant soup” as I call it when I need to run to the store for more ingredients. Will add carrots tomorrow.

    MFP should always bring you back to your last post. If you want to edit one from before (you can only edit for 1 hour) I suggest just copy and paste it, then edit from there.

    @Lynn__W

    So glad that you got out for that paddle. Time will be running out for that kind of thing soon as the temps drop.

    Did you get any photos?

    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 : - )
    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.
    Day 03-09/25 - 143.2 - Had an awesome day at home even though I had woken up thinking that I was still in the Motel bed. Only one hour of time difference, but I am still "off" a bit as I got used to the PST. I had really great Fitness Marshall workouts, 3 or 4 songs at a time. This set me up to be limber enough to get outside. I got so much done in the yard yesterday, but nothing in the house lol. Maybe I can get to some unpacking today. I did make a full rice cooker last night and will measure that into containers for the freezer this morning now that it has cooled. So nice to not have to go anywhere today. I did need a few grocery items, but ordered them from Walmart shipping to arrive today. Kind of laying low since if anyone sees me from either place that I work they will want me to come in and I am not ready for that : - )

    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.
    Day 05 - Sept 22 – Skipped, on purpose
    Day 06 - Sept 23 – 9:51 of the 3
    Day 07 - Sept 24 – 8:13 of the 3 - felt so great to put my legs up straight

    @dawnbgethealthy - Welcome back Dawn! I totally understand the laying low ... you'll get more of your own personal time that way. Sounds like you are off to a great start.

    Day 03: 09/25 - 231.1 Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, S&F form video. V, AF, Getting back into better habits! So nice to have a day to focus on me! Working a new plan for weighing less this year than last year! So the countdown is on.

    When we came home from vacation Wednesday night ... Thursday was blown with washing clothes, grocery shopping, getting things put away, etc. Then Friday my other granddaughter had a fever so I went to care for her since she couldn't make daycare. This weekend wasted away with my daughter, her husband and granddaughter AND their 2 golden doodles staying with us Fri & Sat night. They went car shopping while we watched the lil one.
    Now I'm without a car as SIL car is dead and they've not bought one yet. But that is okay since I don't have many places I need to be and DH's car is available.

    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 #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.

    Goal This Round: 176.0 (12 lbs)
    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 188.0

    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)

    Day 02-09/24-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I wandered aimlessly around last night like the Cookie Monster trying to find Big bird. Yes, I ate ALL the cookies along the way. I couldn’t bear to weigh myself this morning because I knew it would include glycogen and all that other stuff when I eat too many carbs. Yesterday was pre-scheduled to be a [italics]slightly[/italics] higher carb day anyway, but not for (too many) cookies! So stupid. Anyway, today will be an extra low calorie and carb day according to schedule on this zig-zag experiment so hopefully I will feel confident in weighing tomorrow.

    Day 03-09/25-188.8-(Trend weight 190.4) Well $#!% It was only a few (well maybe a bit more than a few) cookies and it was day before yesterday and still, I am up a full pound. I know, I know, sometimes it shows up a couple of days later but wow. I’ve really increased my exercise in the past couple of days so I also wonder if it’s a bit of fluid retention. Also, I noticed in logging that my sodium has been up mainly from things like cottage cheese and tomato juice. It’s shocking how much sodium is in cottage cheese! The good news is that my trend weight is continuing to go down, my fat percentages continue to drop and I can physically feel the difference in my body shape and size. I will measure soon. Just keep going Donna. Keep Going. It’s not linear. (And STAY AWAY from your grandson’s JUNK).

    Yes, I use my phone but I’ll try from my laptop tomorrow. Thank you. 😎

    Day 3: Long, long day. Didn’t get many steps in but stayed under my calorie goal & made healthy food choices.

    Did get my Fitness watch charged & back on to start tracking steps tomorrow. Starting with 8,000 steps then will increase to 10,000 … and hoping to be back at my 12,000 steps a day over the next couple months. I have big dogs so it needs to be our normal to keep them active.

    Have any of you ever done Leslie Sansone’s Walk at Home videos? I love her older videos with just her or with the original group of people. Going to start back with them tomorrow with the 1 mile video, it’s less than 20 minutes. It’s like a light to medium aerobic but less jarring. I do skip doing the “kick backs” as my knees get sore from that.

    She’s great, motivating & not annoying. Even if you are just able to do the warm up & fast forward to the cool down it’s a start.

    @geminimoon73 - I have many of Leslie Samson's Walk at Home videos. But not viewed them in years since I no longer have a DVD player. Loved her active walks especially on rainy days. Might try to pull them back out.
    Is there a way to transfer my DVDs to a file on my computer? Curious minds trying to solve a problem.

    Interesting article ... What happens to your body if you exercise but don't eat well
    Even if your workouts are keeping you thin, health experts say it's virtually impossible to outrun a bad diet.
    Watch out for the habit to burn off what you eat ... visceral fat is less noticeable because it wraps around your organs.

    “It’s not good or bad food; it’s just fuel,” she said. “When you look at it from an addition standpoint instead of a restriction standpoint, it’s a healthier approach to fueling yourself.”
