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.
Day 03-09/25: 173.4, kinda slipped into “I don’t give a da**” mood yesterday. Paying for it today.
Day 04-09/26: 173.2
Day 05-09/27: 171.8 .. feeling hopeful that I’ll soon get out of the 170’s. later: Once again late evening snacking zero’d out this loss. *sigh* Really need to get a handle on that habit.
90 minute hike on gasline w/Cindy.
Day 06-09/28: 173. Regretting last nite’s snacking. Happy with not feeling hip etc stiffness or discomfort after yesterday’s hike.
Today I will: 10 water ( 12) ,
30 min circuit workout ( treadmill, bike & stepper; quads on fire!),
max of 23 WW pts (24) .
Hubby is going to bake sourdough bread this afternoon so Please Lord, Give me Strength! Thinking of rearranging my afternoon so I’m out of the house.
Day 07-09/29: 171.8 Had the crazy idea of joining my GF camping .. was excited but doubts began creeping in around 4am. Checked the weather for the area and rain this afternoon, nighttime low of 1degree C. Cancelled.
Today I will: 10 water, 10
30 min deliberate exercise, 26 min. free weights & stretching
max of 23 WW pts.; went over ☹
Week one goal: 170.?
Week 1 actual wt: 171.8 Not thrilled but it is what it is.
Week 2:
Day 08-09/30: 173.4 Daily goal: 10+ water __ ; <23WW pts: __ ; Exercise __ ;

Just a few thoughts/ideas on your leg cramps that seem to be persisting.
1. I know you are lifting them to drain them and that it feels very good. I just want to make sure you are not doing too much of that all at once since you are not a heart patient and you may not be retaining as much as you think. However, with that said, you ARE on your feet for an incredible amount of time each day. Maybe breaking the draining up to about 2 minutes at a time a couple of time per day is something you could try.
2. Are you perhaps low on sodium/salt? I would watch your diary and see if that may be the case. That has happened to me many times and a pinch of himalayan salt or sea salt shortly before bed helped me.
3. When I was a Postal worker many years ago we were told by management to take a one pill supplement of calcuium, magnesium, zinc for leg and foot cramps as it was very common for us to suffer with the cramping since we were on our feet so much. Wow, it really did help.
4. Keep your eyes peeled for swelling in any part of your leg. It could be a sign of a blood clot.
If the pains are in both legs it is probably not a clot, if only in one leg, that is not a good sign.
You would need to have it checked right away for a clot. Of course, having had the shot in just one confuses the situation, but if it persists I would go to an ER so that they can assess it. It is better safe than sorry.
Just a few ideas because I hate to see you suffer or in pain, especially when it is affecting other important things like sleep.
I hope this helps.
Thanks Donna!
Maybe you remember 2 or 3 years ago I was getting leg cramps in the night, googled, and began eating 1/2 a banana each day and they went away. I fell off of that regimen. I was talking to some regular customers at the restaurant yesterday and that came up. I went and bought some bananas after work so I will try to get myself back into that habit. Natural cures aren't quick like a pill, but it did work for me before. I do also take Magnesium before bed each night.
As for the leg draining, it really feels fantastic since I work on my feet each day, my legs really pulse when I have them up, so no doubt I have lots of blood pooling from my daily work.2 -
@Lilylady3k
Ah, ribs!! I am keeping them to once each 100, and we just started this one lol. I have 3 racks in the freezer for when I am ready to have my rib day : - )
I did a huge harvest on Thursday night for fear of a hard freeze. I mean, I have been eating peppers and tomatoes and onions (along with beans, sugar snap peas, herbs) for more than a month, but they would turn to mush if I left them out (covered) and the temps dropped too low.
One box of green tomatoes that will ripen that way, but those are not like sandwich quality, they will be used in the cooking spree of Jambalaya, chili etc. in a month from now when they are all red. 3 huge bowls of beautiful peppers. I will keep eating them raw for now, but those will need to get cored and seeded and put in the freezer for future cooking. I have red, yellow, and white onions.
Beets, carrots, and the remaining potatoes will be fine for another month or so, but thinking that it is getting close to the time to get my garlic planted for next August's harvest. Once my Maple tree sheds its leaves is when I do it, because I put 4 inches of leaves over top of the garlic bed after planting.
Haha, of course I will attach some photos!
Stuff is protected on my covered front porch for now...
Under the canopy before harvest:
Some real beauties under there to save (yes, of course there is dirt under my nails lol)
Yum!
I would have liked to wait another 2 weeks for the tomatoes to ripen further on the vines, but they would be unusable if I waited I think. I have about 20 beautifully ripe ones to eat each day in a sandwich, and these will be my cooking ones once they ripen in the box:

@Lynn__W
Would that have been tent camping? Frigid lol.
Yes, it was 3c here on Thursday morning, I got terrified for my food for the year so didn't bid on the Thursday night job, came right home after the restaurant and worked almost until dark digging onions and harvesting those things that won't survive the cold. It was 20c at 3:15pm, but I didn't want to risk it.
You sure are adventurous in your lifestyle!2 -
Thank you for keeping us going @deepwoodslady !!
Hi everyone.
I am Dawn. 5'2" (used to be 5'3"), 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
Week 1 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 1 actual weight - 142.0 - Started the week at 143.2
Day 08-09/30 - 142.2 - I don't have any jobs at all booked for today. It is raining and 6c so I won't even be going hiking. I did laundry this morning and little else so far. Kind of not used to having free time without outdoor activity. I will for sure get a bunch of Fitness Marshall songs in here and there. I usually burn 400+ calories each day on my pedometre from working, but it appears that I won't be working today, feels weird after having worked 7 days a week almost the entire summer starting in May. I think that I don't know how to relax? Today is Truth and Reconcilliation Day in Canada, so many of my normal radio shows that I listen to are pre-empted today. I do have a mini Prosecco and some Camebert lol, but we'll see about that in the afternoon.

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

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 Yes, the potassium could really help especially when it has worked in the past. Keep us posted!2 -
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

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

Previous WeeksWeight 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 07-09/29-188.6-(Trend weight 189.6) I was way under calorie but way over carbs. Just not the right food combinations for my macros and it was such a busy day that I didn’t have time to keep tweaking. I wondered what this would mean for the scale. Weight up a tad, trend weight down a tad. Up early this morning for the school bus with DGS. Today I take him in for a haircut as we prep for school pics next week. I love the time I get to spend with him although I always dread the early mornings/lack of sleep on Fridays. Gotta push water today. I realized I’ve not had more than 4 or 6 oz per day for the past couple of days which may have contributed to the explained uptick day before yesterday that I’m still fighting.

Day 08-09/30-188.2-(Trend weight 189.5) I am shocked and pleased at the scale reading today after having a horrid snack last night. I hope it doesn’t catch up to me in the coming days. I’m going to work really hard to stay ahead of it. I changed the day to a higher calorie zig-zag day before closing out, which means that today I will have to tighten my belt. I really want to get to the mid 180’s soon. I’m sure last night was self-sabotage since it was the end of the month and the end of some of my monthly challenges (final weigh-in).

@dawnbgethealthy - What a fantastic harvest! Our vegetable garden didn't produce well this year so I'll harvest vicariously through your photos! We've got a thick crop of winter rye started and I hope that will result in big harvests for us next year. 5

Day 01-09/23-237.5 (guessing here, since I'm using an analog "dial" type scale. Think I'm going to invest in a digital scale in the next couple of days)
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.
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.
Day 3 - 09/25: 241.6 - Weight is up from before, but now at least I know it's accurate and should be consistent from now on. Don't use a broken scale, folks!
Day 04-09/26-...was a bust. Super busy with school today and by the time I remembered to record anything, it was nearly day 5 anyway.
Day 05-09/27-241.4 (Trend weight 242.4--thank you deepwoodslady and Lilylady3k!) Another busy day, but I remembered to weigh in and the trend points downward. Even if school fries my brain, it's getting me walking across campus, and that's more walking than I was doing before!
Day 06-09/28-239.4 (Trend weight 241.3) Had to go help my mom move some furniture and was running late this morning, so no time for my usual at-home breakfast. I felt the temptation to splurge on a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant and latte from the local shop. Instead, I filled a coffee cup from home with my daily splash of oat milk and the sugar I normally take when I'm not eating out, took that to the shop, and filled it with brewed coffee. Then bought a couple of hard-boiled eggs. A good, healthy breakfast on a morning I was feeling weak. That's a win!
Day 07-09/29- 238.3 (Trend 241.0) I think sticking to my calorie counts is really working so far. Who knew?
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN:
Accumulated Loss or Gain: Loss of 3.3*
*Counting only from the first day of my new scale.
Day 08-09/30-239.4 (Trend 240.7) - Back up a little, probably due to either the sodium from the slice of evening pizza, the unusual amount of wheat I ate yesterday, OR maybe it's just my body catching its figurative breath before another string of losses (one can hope). Regardless, I felt it was time for another long walk, and the fall colors and scents of burning leaves and cut grass made for a lovely outing.

Just popping in to share the easiest possible recipe! You can hardly call it a recipe, really. I was craving some cauliflower rice mushroom risotto - well more like the idea of one. I had a recipe before that tasted fine - but to create the creaminess it required taking some of the cauliflower /mushroom mixture and making it a puree that you added to the dish. It didn't fool me, ha ha. Other recipes use heavy cream and butter - not for me - or want you to stir and reduce and take a lot of time like real risotto - not for me either, I am too lazy for that! I love Hungry Girl and she had a version that was super easy, but everything was basically boiled in one pot...nah, you gotta at least caramelize the onions right? So here's what I did:
I had picked up some whole portobello mushrooms this morning while food shopping, so I lined a cookie sheet with foil, sprayed with olive oil spray and preheated the oven to 400 degrees. I removed the stems & fins and used a damp paper towel to wipe them down. I put them fin side up on the cookie sheet, gave the tops another spray of olive oil and seasoned with salt & pepper. I baked them for 15 minutes, removed from the oven to turn them over & empty out the liquid, and baked for 5 minutes more. (in retrospect I could have reserved that liquid to add to the "rice" - next time!)
Meanwhile, I took frozen cauliflower rice & frozen chopped broccoli and cooked up 2 cups of each in the microwave. I diced a large onion & cooked it in a big pot with a little olive oil spray until it browned, added 1 tbs of chopped garlic and cooked one minute more. I added the cauliflower & broccoli to the onion along with 1 tsp Italian seasoning, turned off the heat and gave it a good mix along with a little salt & pepper. I divided into 3 portions, put two in the fridge then added a wedge of Laughing Cow cheddar cheese to the third and popped it in the microwave for 2 more mins (it was warm so it didn't take much, but probably making this cold it would need to nuke for maybe 2 minutes first before you add the cheese, then nuke 2 mins more). Gave the mixture a good mix, added 2 tbs of grated peccorino romano cheese, and topped with chopped roasted portobello. Because the LC cheese I had on hand was cheddar, it gave it a kind of mac & cheesy vibe...but I bet the Italian herb & garlic or plain swiss would be great too. But it was SUPER YUM, and very filling. OMG the roasted mushrooms made it! Why do I not roast mushrooms as food prep every week? So darn easy!!
Anyway that is my long-winded tale of creating my own yummy little dish that'll give me 2 more meals during the week, without spending hours doing it! I can easily make this alongside any other more complicated food prep I'm doing. Yay!

I want to lose at least 4.9 kg in this round. Bolded numbers means a new low.
Day 1 86.7 kg 2x45 min walks
Day 2 86.0 45 min walk
Day 3 85.9 2x45 min walks
--- Tracking my intake from now on, aiming for 6,000 kJ, posting total overeating above that number
Day 4 85.9 45 minute walk
Day 5 86.5 45 minute walk, 946 kJ under eating
--- Doing a little experiment, how many days in a row can I burn more energy than I eat? Starting day 7
Day 6 86.0 I had a bit of a sugar fest to celebrate the start of a new, 20 week online course. I don't know with accuracy what the energy value of it is, I'm going to reset the over eating counter to zero and start again
Day 7 86.2 5925 KJ, 2x45 min walks, losing 82 grams a day according to spreadsheet
Day 8 86.0 5929 kJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 9 85.5

@jennysweet58 That sounds delicious! Yum!4 -
@dawnbgethealthy - We smoked 2 racks of ribs and I made the decision to only eat 2 ribs. We have at least a rack of ribs left after the 4 of us and the baby ate. I froze half and decided we'll eat the other sometime next week. But the bump in scale is real!
I think bananas is a great way to combat your leg cramps! I too have had success with it in the past.
Plenty of dirt under my nails as well after weeding for hours! Love the pics of your garden's results and the tree in fall color.4 -
@dawnbgethealthy Wow! That's a great haul you had. Do you do any canning?
Also, I was wondering what you meant when you said you hadn't "bid" on a Thursday night job. Just curious.
BTW, I haven't been ignoring your question about what my handymen are up to. I've been meaning to take a few pics. I'll try to take some tomorrow and post them.4 -
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.
Day 03-09/25-xxxxx- 72 kg. Found a whole $NZ3.00 (USD1.80) out walking today. Wish it was like that everyday!
Day 04-09/26-xxxxx- 71.5 kg. Went to an Art Exhibition opening and demolished a plate of sandwiches. I am not safe in the presence of bread.
Day 05-09/27-xxxxx- 72.1 kg. Whatever has happened! Could it be something I ate last night?
Day 06-09/28-xxxxx- 71.3 kg. I think the scale has a sense of humor and is playing pranks on me.
Day 07-09/29-xxxxx- 71.9 kg

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)

Day 03: 09/25 - 231.1 / 231.7 - Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, S&F form video. A 80oz, J V AF. Getting back into better habits!
Day 04: 09/26 - 230.2 / 231.4 - Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, A 80 oz, J V AF.
Day 05: 09/27 - 229.3 / 230.7 - Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, A 80 oz, J V AF. I got real snacky in the afternoon diving into kettle chips DH eats for lunch. Measured and tracked and moved on. But I can’t do that everyday! Still stayed under my personal targets of 1400 calories and less than 100 net carbs which is working until it doesn't. I know I lost 40+ lbs quickly on Keto in 2020-2021 targeting less than 20 and then 20-50 net carbs but I just don't think that is sustainable in the long run for me ... given that I gained almost all of it back!
Day 06: 09/28 - 229.0 / 230.1 - W 1.6 mile (no car so walked to and from ESL class I volunteer teach), A 64 oz, J V AF. Still in the green but selected 2 Oreo Thin cookies for an afternoon snack then grabbed a banana so I wouldn’t eat more! These actions took me over my 100 net carb target.
Day 07: 09/29 - 227.6 / 229.2 - No exercise skipped my S&F class to drive into town to pick up my granddaughter and visit my other one at daycare. A 64 oz, JV. Today I’m chasing my granddaughter as I babysit. Oh and @dawnbgetheathy DH is cooking 2 really large racks of ribs since my son & his family are joining us for dinner. Wishing you could join us! Trying to clean out the freezer and those take up a lot of space!
Week 1 actual weight: 227.6
1st Week Weight Loss: 4.4
Accumulated weight loss: 4.4
Challenge weight to go: 8.6
First week back on a real diet and not just playing around / pretending. Journaling kept my calories and net carbs in check for a first time since May earlier this year! Now the challenge will be to keep it up!
Day 08: 09/30 - 228.4 / 228.8 - Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, A 80 oz, J V. Bump up in weight expected with ribs and wine. Today I’m planning to weed weed weed! And I really want to get out my fall decorations … usually they are out by the first of Sept but with the heat and vacation I missed my normal routines. Also I’m going to get on the bike at some point.
Day 09: 10/01 - 228.1 / 228.3 - We are getting together with all my kids to celebrate my oldest son’s birthday. DIL is making jambalaya and carrot cake for lunch. My plan is to exercise later today to keep things in check … I’m not passing on the food but portion control will be key!

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!)
Day 03-09/25: 209.8 - Booyah! I love when I move into a new decade...though it was a big drop, we'll see if it holds up tomorrow! Did BG walking/toning workout today plus yoga stretch. The consistent exercise/stretching over the past week has made my back feel much better, it was so sore at the beginning of last week - I think it finally started letting go of the inflammation which is good news on the scale!
Day 04-09/26: 210.0 - So it seems I am not quite free of this decade just yet! But I'll get there. Just finished BG cardio & yoga stretch, feeling good and onto another day!
Day 05-09/27-xxxxx-
Day 06-09/28: 208.2 - I missed a weigh in yesterday bc I started work at the crack of dawn and simply forgot - but a nice surprise with today's weigh in! Hopefully it sticks! It was even nicer bc DH had the day off, so we went to happy hour & ate dinner at a local restaurant. It's a little under 2 miles away so we walked there (so at least got some exercise for the day) and then I stuck with tequila, seltzer & lime (in a pint glass, so basically the alcohol content of a hard seltzer) and had a garden salad with grilled chicken and plain balsamic vinegar as dressing. I tracked it all and went a bit above my calories for the day, but proud I kept it reasonably healthy in the face of DH's steak sandwich & fries!! And it was fun to get out. Got in a good workout & stretch this morning and ready for another day!
Day 07-09/29: 209.2 - drats! My weight is pingponging a bit - but still a good loss for the week! No workout today except for running to put pumps in the backyard so our basement doesn't flood *__* - luckily they worked and we didn't have damage.
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN: 2.8 loss
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 2.8 loss
Day 08-09/30: 207.4 – OK I the scale is just jumping around! But it’s probably due to me weighing myself at different times the past couple of days. Just probably means yesterday’s was not real, which is good news!
Day 09-10/01: 208.6 – up and down, up and down…maybe the popcorn I had yesterday? During the week my weighing is much more consistent, let's see how that shakes out this week.

Also, I was wondering what you meant when you said you hadn't "bid" on a Thursday night job. Just curious.
BTW, I haven't been ignoring your question about what my handymen are up to. I've been meaning to take a few pics. I'll try to take some tomorrow and post them.
I tried canning a couple of times in the past. I just don't like it. Freezer is my preferred method.
There is a call board when shifts come up, it happens via text. Yes, I have had shifts booked - blocks, months in advance, but many shifts come up daily. I worked all of my pre-booked shifts before my holiday and was exhausted by the time that came around. I have learned a few things about the different types of shifts and how bidding on one might make me lose out on my preferred ones that seem to come up seconds after. I like serving on the independent side, running food to the pods is a horrible job, but the same amount of hours, 4. I decided on my holiday that I would try a different tack and maybe not take any "blocks" so as to prevent working 7 days per week yet again. It is not really worth it for me to give up a day off for a 4 hour shift that starts at 4:30. This morning an 8 hour shift came up for serving, 11-7. I bid on it then was told that it had already been taken. I went on with my day and then at 10 minutes to 11 they were texting and trying to call me to come in for it. Nope. It is a sunny day and I am going to get my storm windows up and go for a nice hike. I think if it was raining like yesterday I might have taken it and rushed to get there.
Yes, I look forward to hearing about what the handymen are working on now!
Are you getting your son out for walks along the river now that it isn't so hot out anymore?
I see that you are listing progress from all of these 100s. I didn't discover this thread for quite some time, so I was well into my weight loss journey. I had been doing a monthly challenge which disappeared, and I did the 10 day for awhile, but it took too much time out of my day. I also did the "less alcohol" challenge for years, but gave that one up in August when I was far too busy with work to commit to the time that it took to read and comment on everything. I am keeping track of that on my own. The 100 is the only one that I do now. I joined it 2 rounds behind its inception, so in round 3
I am going to see if I can look up my progress since starting the 100.....
My MFP start date was October 29 2018 - I had lost 16 pounds from my highest weight before joining MFP
My first round of the 100 was November 22 2019 - I had already lost 32.9 pounds by that time, so I started the 100 at 158.1 and ended my first round at 154.4 - 2.7 pounds lost in the first round. I had lost 24 pounds since then, but have backslid (is that a word?) since then, now it is sitting more like 10 pounds over all of these rounds. Better than nothing I guess, but extremely slow going.3 -
Thank you for keeping us going @deepwoodslady !!
Hi everyone.
I am Dawn. 5'2" (used to be 5'3"), 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
Week 1 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 1 actual weight - 142.0 - Started the week at 143.2
Day 08-09/30 - 142.2 - I don't have any jobs at all booked for today. It is raining and 6c so I won't even be going hiking. I did laundry this morning and little else so far. Kind of not used to having free time without outdoor activity. I will for sure get a bunch of Fitness Marshall songs in here and there. I usually burn 400+ calories each day on my pedometre from working, but it appears that I won't be working today, feels weird after having worked 7 days a week almost the entire summer starting in May. I think that I don't know how to relax? Today is Truth and Reconcilliation Day in Canada, so many of my normal radio shows that I listen to are pre-empted today. I do have a mini Prosecco and some Camebert lol, but we'll see about that in the afternoon.
Day 09-10/01 - 144.0 - Ouch! I have been sitting in the 142s for quite some time, not ideal, but better than 144. Oh well, I am not going to let it ruin my day off, it is beautiful and sunny. Definitely going to get outside for the day.

Week 2 actual weight -
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
Day 08 - Sept 25 – 8:15 of the 3
Day 09 - Sept 26 – 7:36 of the 3
Day 10 - Sept 27 – 9:04 of the 3
Day 11 - Sept 28 – 8:20 of the 3 - I just start the stopwatch when I begin. Conscious of trying to keep it slower for better results as @Lilylady3k suggested.

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

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 08-09/30-188.2-(Trend weight 189.5) I am shocked and pleased at the scale reading today after having a horrid snack last night. I hope it doesn’t catch up to me in the coming days. I’m going to work really hard to stay ahead of it. I changed the day to a higher calorie zig-zag day before closing out, which means that today I will have to tighten my belt. I really want to get to the mid 180’s soon. I’m sure last night was self-sabotage since it was the end of the month and the end of some of my monthly challenges (final weigh-in).
Day 09-10/01-187.2-(Trend weight 189.2) Yesterday everything was on point—diet, exercise, water, Potty. I wish everyday fell in line like that but that is not typical of my normal day. I had no handymen, no babysitting, no kids stop buy (with treats), no invitations from friends to go have lunch or dinner, it was a care-free day of self focus. Yesterday was one of the lower calorie/carb days on the zig-zagging I am doing so I’m not surprised to see the scale a bit more down because of that. It certainly likes to tip up a bit on the scheduled higher days so fair enough!

Accumulated Loss or Gain: -3.0/-1.4
Day 08-09/30-177.1/179.5 – Soo glad it’s the weekend. Went to the hair salon and got a cut which was long overdue – a nice non-caloric treat!
Day 09-10/01-178.0/179.3 – Bit of a gain, which was not surprising, given the weekend’s eating. But as Jillian Michaels says, if you have a flat tire, you don’t get out the car and slash the other three tires. Went out birding with Josh this morning – a peaceful morning walk in the woods is good for the soul. Then gym this afternoon.3 -

Also, I was wondering what you meant when you said you hadn't "bid" on a Thursday night job. Just curious.
BTW, I haven't been ignoring your question about what my handymen are up to. I've been meaning to take a few pics. I'll try to take some tomorrow and post them.
I tried canning a couple of times in the past. I just don't like it. Freezer is my preferred method.
There is a call board when shifts come up, it happens via text. Yes, I have had shifts booked - blocks, months in advance, but many shifts come up daily. I worked all of my pre-booked shifts before my holiday and was exhausted by the time that came around. I have learned a few things about the different types of shifts and how bidding on one might make me lose out on my preferred ones that seem to come up seconds after. I like serving on the independent side, running food to the pods is a horrible job, but the same amount of hours, 4. I decided on my holiday that I would try a different tack and maybe not take any "blocks" so as to prevent working 7 days per week yet again. It is not really worth it for me to give up a day off for a 4 hour shift that starts at 4:30. This morning an 8 hour shift came up for serving, 11-7. I bid on it then was told that it had already been taken. I went on with my day and then at 10 minutes to 11 they were texting and trying to call me to come in for it. Nope. It is a sunny day and I am going to get my storm windows up and go for a nice hike. I think if it was raining like yesterday I might have taken it and rushed to get there.
Yes, I look forward to hearing about what the handymen are working on now!
Are you getting your son out for walks along the river now that it isn't so hot out anymore?
I see that you are listing progress from all of these 100s. I didn't discover this thread for quite some time, so I was well into my weight loss journey. I had been doing a monthly challenge which disappeared, and I did the 10 day for awhile, but it took too much time out of my day. I also did the "less alcohol" challenge for years, but gave that one up in August when I was far too busy with work to commit to the time that it took to read and comment on everything. I am keeping track of that on my own. The 100 is the only one that I do now. I joined it 2 rounds behind its inception, so in round 3
I am going to see if I can look up my progress since starting the 100.....
My MFP start date was October 29 2018 - I had lost 16 pounds from my highest weight before joining MFP
My first round of the 100 was November 22 2019 - I had already lost 32.9 pounds by that time, so I started the 100 at 158.1 and ended my first round at 154.4 - 2.7 pounds lost in the first round. I had lost 24 pounds since then, but have backslid (is that a word?) since then, now it is sitting more like 10 pounds over all of these rounds. Better than nothing I guess, but extremely slow going.
@dawnbgethealthy I don't can either but my oldest daughter does. She truly takes after my mother more than I even do lol. She is a very healthy all natural kind of person. She is NOT the one that brings me the "goodies" although she does give me jams and jellies. That is her attempt to get real fruit into me. I have to be careful with them though because of my diabetes. When she gives me the black raspberry jam, it becomes my night time snack every single night until it is gone. I MUST tell her to turn me down when I ask for more.
It is very interesting to hear the explanation on the call board. I thought you were being forced basically to work so many hours and/or days in a row. It is nice to see that you do have some flexibility in there in case you need it.
In regards to my challenge tally, my original starting weight was 253 but this challenge was not around back then. I am an original member of this challenge. However, Challenge #1 started on May 6th, 2019 and I didn't find it and jump in until day 30 on June 4th, 2019. At that time I weighed 194.8. I have definitely went up and down during the past couple of years, some with good reason (medical) and some with just stuffing everything in my mouth I could find, especially when out-of-town. Right now I am doing well again. I knew I could have good days, good months. The real challenge is not in getting there, but in staying there. Feel proud of yourself Dawn for your staying power. For your strength. As far as the little bit more you want to take off, you will get there over time. You are actually doing so much better than you think! Everytime it goes up (or tries to) you make another change. Cutting the ribs down to 4 times per year instead of 12. Limiting your restaurant food to 6 times per year etc. etc. I'm not sure exactly what will work for you since you are reasonably close to your desired weight but I do know that you will get there. It's not as easy at our age of 63 as it was in our 20's and 30's. You are doing great!4 -
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN:
Accumulated Loss or Gain: Loss of 3.3*
*Counting only from the first day of my new scale.
Day 08-09/30-239.4 (Trend 240.7) - Back up a little, probably due to either the sodium from the slice of evening pizza, or the unusual amount of wheat I ate yesterday, OR maybe it's just my body catching its figurative breath before another string of losses. Regardless, I felt it was time for another long walk; the fall colors and scents of burning leaves and cut grass made for a lovely excursion.
Day 09-10/01- 240.5 (Trend 240.7) - Not sure what's going on, but gonna just stick to the calorie counting, steering clear of sugar, cutting down on the wheat, and maybe drink more water today. I did overdo it yesterday, so maybe it's inflammation, or maybe it's the dreaded monthly visitor on its way. Who knows.

I want to lose at least 4.9 kg in this round. Bolded numbers means a new low.
Day 1 86.7 kg 2x45 min walks
Day 2 86.0 45 min walk
Day 3 85.9 2x45 min walks
--- Tracking my intake from now on, aiming for 6,000 kJ, posting total overeating above that number
Day 4 85.9 45 minute walk
Day 5 86.5 45 minute walk, 946 kJ under eating
--- Doing a little experiment, how many days in a row can I burn more energy than I eat? Starting day 7
Day 6 86.0 I had a bit of a sugar fest to celebrate the start of a new, 20 week online course. I don't know with accuracy what the energy value of it is, I'm going to reset the over eating counter to zero and start again
Day 7 86.2 5925 KJ, 2x45 min walks, losing 82 grams a day according to spreadsheet
Day 8 86.0 5929 kJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 9 85.5 5896KJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 10 85.0
