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 2x45 min walk, lowest weight in 47 days. My walking is definitely working because I wasn't walking 47 days ago. So I had 3 "excellent" days and 3 days in a row of eating less than I burned. That's not a particularly big achievement, I scanned back some old records and I saw 17 days in a row where I ate less than I burned. So I'm going to aim to beat that record, starting October 13. Mark your calendars. Threewins will attempt a lifetime record.
Day 11 85.4 911 KJ total overeating, 2x45 min walks
Day 12 85.5 320 KJ total under eating, 2x45 min walks
Day 13 84.4, lowest weight in 76 days
@threewins You are doing so wonderfully!
Haha thanks. But if you asked me why I am doing well now, and wasn't doing well say 6 months ago, I wouldn't be able to tell you. It's like my motivation juice is created and depleted by things I have no knowledge about.

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.

Day 12-10/04-186.6-(Trend weight 188.5) Finally TMI after 3 days of no action and the scale went up? Go figure! My calories were under, my carbs were under, I got in 32 minutes on the exercise bike using HIIT with it, I did some floor exercises and strength training. my water was so-so. The only thing bad was my sleep last night. 3 hours and 48 minutes. So many things are in play with weight loss including hormones. I’ll just roll with the punches and let the universe even things out. As Billy Joel sang, it’s a matter of trust.
Day 13-10/05-185.8-(Trend weight 188.2) I was happy to dip into the 185 range this morning, However, I travel today for my bone density scan. I’ll do my shopping while out-of-town and also have a nice lunch or dinner with my son so I know the weight will be back up tomorrow. I did chose my highest calorie/carb allowance day on zig-zag for today because of the travel. I know I went over that but I will be following today with the lowest allowance for the zig-zag week tomorrow as part of my plan. Hopefully this will mitigate the damage and will be gone like a bad dream before you know it. Unfortunately, this after travel weigh-in occurs on the 2 week tally weigh-in. That will make both week one and week two of this challenge show a weight gain, even if I’ve dipped down during the middle of the challenge week.

Accumulated Loss or Gain: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
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.4 kg gain. Not off to the best of starts. Trying to keep the total calories in at less than 1600 regardless of amount lost through exercise.
Accumulated Loss or Gain:
Day 08-09/30-xxxxx- 72 kg. Normally I drink my coffee black, but today I had my annual treat of pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks. (the smallest size)
Day 09-10/01-xxxxx- 71.5 kg. ....number on the bathroom scale, whither will you wander? Upstairs, downstairs, in the refrigerator....
Day 10-10/02-xxxxx- 71.7 kg.
Day 11-10/03-xxxxx- 71.3 kg. Hopefully have recovered from the mindless snacking of the last 10 days and back to better habits ..... but now I am stress shopping online a lot .... telling myself that it is all for Christmas gifts....
Day 12-10/04-xxxxx- 71.2 kg.
Day 13-10/05-xxxxx- 71.2 kg. Second day in a row off eating less than I burned ..... hopefully I can go the next 5 days and see some results. Picking up the exercise to 90 mins walk a day.
Day 14-10/06-xxxxx- 71.1 kg. Ate some cheese I hadn't planned for, walked for an extra 60 mins to burn it off. Tired but in a positive mood.
WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.8 kg - more than anticipated - seems like I was eating a lot and not losing much, but I started Week 2 heavier than at the start of Week 1.
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.4 kg. Hopefully I can lose this much every week in order to meet my goal of 67 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 01: 09/23 - 231.7 / 231.8
Day 02: 09/24 - 232.4 / 231.8 - V, W .5 mile
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 goal weight: < 230
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 - Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, A 80 oz, J V. 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! UPDATE: I exercised BEFORE going to the bday party. BUT had pizza for dinner so very much in the red.
Day 10: 10/02 - 228.6 / 228.3 - Strength Training 1 hr, A 80 oz, J V AF. Bump up on the scale is totally expected given the carb loaded food I had yesterday. I skipped all snacks yesterday but I was fully in the red. Today I stayed in the green!
Day 11: 10/03 - 229.0 / 228.3 - WI at 3am! Yikes I was up too early. No exercise. A 64 oz J V … definitely not AF plus ribs for dinner.
Day 12: 10/04 - 229.2 / 228.5 - Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, A 80 oz, J V AF. Slipped and grabbed a Snickers at the store today after art class then continued to eat lots of carbs all day. Grocery shopped yesterday for my menu plan for the next week. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies!
Day 13: 10/05 - 228.2 / 228.3 - This was a surprise given yesterday’s eating pattern. No exercise. A 64 oz J V. 1000 calories over planned because I decided to have a shake at lunch! Poor decision. I should never order when I’m tired and hungry and it’s raining.
Day 14: 10/06 - 229.3 - We are babysitting our granddaughter this weekend Friday lunch through Sunday. Decided before she arrives that I will get out and exercise.
Week 2 goal weight: <227
Week 2 actual weight: 229.3
2nd Week Weight GAIN: 1.7
Accumulated weight loss: 2.7
Challenge weight to go: 10.3
Good days and bad days. I need to be more careful about the slide giving into instant satisfaction like milk shakes and Snickers. What’s great is that I’m clearly under 230 and didn’t bounce back up over it. Now to drive getting below 227 and make it stick!4 -

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.

Day 13-10/05-185.8-(Trend weight 188.2) I was happy to dip into the 185 range this morning, However, I travel today for my bone density scan. I’ll do my shopping while out-of-town and also have a nice lunch or dinner with my son so I know the weight will be back up tomorrow. I did chose my highest calorie/carb allowance day on zig-zag for today because of the travel. I know I went over that but I will be following today with the lowest allowance for the zig-zag week tomorrow as part of my plan. Hopefully this will mitigate the damage and will be gone like a bad dream before you know it. Unfortunately, this after travel weigh-in occurs on the 2 week tally weigh-in. That will make both week one and week two of this challenge show a weight gain, even if I’ve dipped down during the middle of the challenge week.
Day 14-10/06-188.0-(Trend weight 188.2) Well, it is almost as bad as I expected so I have my work cut out for me. I am down 0.6 since the beginning of the challenge so I guess that is something. My menu is pre-logged and I’ve already done 21 minutes of my planned exercise. Handymen will be here any minute so more exercise will likely be late tonight. No worries.

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: skipped a weigh-in, went for a morning walk on the beach boardwalk near our house, super lovely sunny day…finally!
Day 10-10/02-208.6 – up and down, up and down…maybe the popcorn I had yesterday?
Day 11-10/03-: 208.2 – I stopped messing around, back to weekday strictness! Workouts & stretches are feeling really good
Day 12-10/04: 207.0 – strictness has its rewards! My lower back as been so sore the past couple of weeks, I hope it’s not a kidney issue. I don’t have any other symptoms though so hopefully all the stretching will eventually help.
Day 13-10/05: 207.6 – wouldn’t it be nice if the scale just slowly and consistently moved downward? But I got to the pool this morning with the hubby and that felt really good. My back has been KILLING me the past couple of weeks so the lack of gravity felt amazing.
Day 14-10/06: 206.2 – Yay! The yo-yo hit the down mark just in time for the week 2 tally! Did a combo cardio/strength BG workout and a nice yoga stretch. I’m in a nice groove!
WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN: 3.0 lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 5.8 lost

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.
Day 10-10/02 - 145.6 - Yikes! Well, I had an absolutely wonderful day outside. More calls came in to pick up a shift, but Saturday it rained all day and I truly felt that I needed to spend an entire day outside while it was 20c. I did some Fitness Marshall to warm up my body for some lifting, pulling and pushing. I then swept and washed the kitchen floor and front porch floor. I put laundry in before my workout and put it in the dryer after my workout was done. I got my kitchen window screen and wells cleaned, the inside and outside of the opening window, the storm window cleaned and installed. Lots of puttering in the yard, a nice little hike. 5:15 it was still sunny and blue. I came inside, sat in my sunny kitchen and had Prosecco and Camembert. So lovely...except for on the scale obviously.
Day 11-10/03 - 144.2 - Quite a late dinner, didn't get home from work until 9:30, the next few days will be the same. Prepping dinner this morning: raw peppers, onion, cucumber, parsley, tomatoes, it will be mixed with hot rice, black beans, and souvlaki chicken breast - all topped with tzatziki. It takes a long time to eat a big bowl of this, but not too many calories and lots of nutrients which I feel like I need on 2 job days.
Day 12-10/04 - 143.6 - Yesterday was a grind, I hadn't slept well the night before so was dragging all day. I was very happy to be home. My second job, server at a retirement/LTC home is the physically hardest job that I have ever had in my life. Basically scullery maid. Throwing numerous bags of garbage up and into the bin at the end of the night was so heavy. I understand now why my shoulders and back are so sore.
Day 13-10/05 - 143.2 - 2 more days of 2 jobs. During my holiday I resolved to not work 7 days a week, especially if 2 of those days are only 4 hour shifts starting at 4:30, not really a day off at all. Looks like the weather is going to be very nice this coming weekend, 20c and sunny on both days. Looking forward to that is getting me through this week.
Day 14-10/06 - 141.6 - Surprised with that since I had to work later than usual and dinner was very late. I'll take it!
Week 2 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 2 actual weight - 141.6 - Started the week at 142.2 - First week of eating 1/2 a banana each day

Week 3 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

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 14 - Oct 01 – 7:24 of the 3

Week 2:
Day 08-09/30: 173.4 Daily goal: 10+ water -yes ; <23WW pts: 30 ; Exercise loaded firewood
Day 09-10/01: 174 {LNS 0, Me 1 yeah!!} water, 10+;; ?? WW pts .. worked, then just sat and read until 9:45
Day 10-10/02: 173.4 Water, 10, WW pts 27, worked, visited friend. (oh oh, forgot about the ½ Dr Pepper I had, bet there was a lot of sugar in it). Co-workers have colds, wearing masks. Feeling tired ++; ready for bed at 9:30 which is a bit unusual.
Was going to join a Late Night snacking challenge but decided to just include that here. ( LNS=0; Me 2)
Darin, thanks so much for sharing the analogy of flat tires; a great reminder. Maybe I should change my user name to Tire Slasher. But no more!
Dawn, fabulous peppers etc etc. Our garden was pretty dismal. Oh well, next year.
My Plan is to catch up visiting Girl Friends … oh how I miss these long time friends. Will also visit the Rec Centre pool twice for lap swimming and a class. After Friday’s swim I’ll begin the drive home. Plan on stopping at Williams Lake Rec Centre and buying a 10 session pass so I’ll continue swimming. I found swimming was the one activity that really firmed my upper arms. I love deep water aerobics where one can do weightless exaggerated range of motion movements.
Day 11-10/03: 173
Day 12-10/04: 172.2 Leaving soon.. Bathing suit still fits! 😊 Lunch, visits with friends, dinner then stayed over. So good to be back with long time friends.
Day 13-10/05: away from scale. Excellent day began with swim and deep water aerobics class. Felt soooo good to be back in the water. Met friends for coffee etc, dinner etc. Quality visits. Arthritis acting up and feeling a bit “off” so drove home in the evening. Foot was super sore then realized I was developing gout! Diet hasn’t been over the top but thinking back I’ve been eating more beef and beans than usual over the past week. Water intake was okay so ???.
Day 14-10/06: 171.8 Thankfully had old meds for gout so started these last nite. Foot is improving but off to the hosp (dr clinic is closed Fridays) for new prescriptions. Have plans for paddling tomorrow so hoping system is settled down by then.

A week late to this new challenge, after falling off the wagon for a while. But I’m so glad to be back. Celebrated my 60th on 09/23 and I’m feeling good. Now to get back into the habit of weighing and logging in daily. I believe this is my 4th 100-day challenge. Good luck everyone!
Day 10-10/02-142.8 – New day, new start! Looking forward to being productive with work and to get some exercise in today. Need to work on my eating habits.
Day 11-10/03-142.5 – No workout yesterday but eating was pretty much on point. Probably not going to exercise today as well since I’m meeting friends for Happy Hour. I’ll try my best not to go overboard with alcohol and carbs (“don’t slash the other tires” LOL). One of the friends I’m meeting has returned to Maui for a funeral for family members who perished in the recent wildfire here. Lots of healing still to be done.
Day 12-10/04-141.7 – Wasn’t planning on working out yesterday, but my anxiety was high for most of the day, so I decided to jump on the Peloton to try to relieve it. Good call. Also, great get together with friends in the early evening and the ‘everything in moderation’ attitude performed well: just one glass of wine and an appetizer!
Day 13-10/05-DNW – Had a great start to the day yesterday, even got in a work out in the afternoon, until uncontrollable late night snacking got me. So, I didn’t want to feel even more disgusted by seeing the number on the scale this morning. On another note, it’s a beautiful day outside!
Day 14-10/06-143.4 – Not happy about this gain, but not surprised. This is the result of the copious amounts of sugar 2 & 3 days ago. [sigh]. Did well yesterday and if I keep it up, I should be happy with progress by Sunday.

Day 14-10/06-177.7/178.6 – Depression makes self-care so much harder. I’m trying to take this one day at a time. But it’s tough.

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 2x45 min walk, lowest weight in 47 days. My walking is definitely working because I wasn't walking 47 days ago. So I had 3 "excellent" days and 3 days in a row of eating less than I burned. That's not a particularly big achievement, I scanned back some old records and I saw 17 days in a row where I ate less than I burned. So I'm going to aim to beat that record, starting October 13. Mark your calendars. Threewins will attempt a lifetime record.
Day 11 85.4 911 KJ total overeating, 2x45 min walks
Day 12 85.5 320 KJ total under eating, 2x45 min walks
Day 13 84.4, lowest weight in 76 days, 6160 KJ average, 2x45 min walks
Day 14 84.7, 5855 KJ average intake, 2x45 min walks
Day 15 83.9, lowest weight in 102 days, I weighed 87.0 kg on the 22nd September, now with my most recent loss I'm losing since then 157 grams a day which means I've gotten to 1 kg a week, something which has rarely happened in my life, maybe half a dozen times, always briefly. I know that it's not just caused by fat loss but it's nice to see anyway.

This week was tough--I think the workload and my schedule are just catching up to me and I felt down all week. So far I've been able to avoid my cravings, but I think I'm going to give myself a night of "who cares?" I know I'll pay for it tomorrow, but isn't the point not to care for just one day?

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
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.4 kg gain. Not off to the best of starts. Trying to keep the total calories in at less than 1600 regardless of amount lost through exercise.
Accumulated Loss or Gain:
Day 08-09/30-xxxxx- 72 kg. Normally I drink my coffee black, but today I had my annual treat of pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks. (the smallest size)
Day 09-10/01-xxxxx- 71.5 kg. ....number on the bathroom scale, whither will you wander? Upstairs, downstairs, in the refrigerator....
Day 10-10/02-xxxxx- 71.7 kg.
Day 11-10/03-xxxxx- 71.3 kg. Hopefully have recovered from the mindless snacking of the last 10 days and back to better habits ..... but now I am stress shopping online a lot .... telling myself that it is all for Christmas gifts....
Day 12-10/04-xxxxx- 71.2 kg.
Day 13-10/05-xxxxx- 71.2 kg. Second day in a row off eating less than I burned ..... hopefully I can go the next 5 days and see some results. Picking up the exercise to 90 mins walk a day.
Day 14-10/06-xxxxx- 71.1 kg. Ate some cheese I hadn't planned for, walked for an extra 60 mins to burn it off. Tired but in a positive mood.
WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.8 kg - more than anticipated - seems like I was eating a lot and not losing much, but I started Week 2 heavier than at the start of Week 1.
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.4 kg. Hopefully I can lose this much every week in order to meet my goal of 67 kg.

240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's
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 02: 09/24 - 232.4 / 231.8 - V, W .5 mile
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 goal weight: < 230
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 - Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, A 80 oz, J V. 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! UPDATE: I exercised BEFORE going to the bday party. BUT had pizza for dinner so very much in the red.
Day 10: 10/02 - 228.6 / 228.3 - Strength Training 1 hr, A 80 oz, J V AF. Bump up on the scale is totally expected given the carb loaded food I had yesterday. I skipped all snacks yesterday but I was fully in the red. Today I stayed in the green!
Day 11: 10/03 - 229.0 / 228.3 - WI at 3am! Yikes I was up too early. No exercise. A 64 oz J V … definitely not AF plus ribs for dinner.
Day 12: 10/04 - 229.2 / 228.5 - Biked 20 min, 5 min strength w/ 5 lb weights, A 80 oz, J V AF. Slipped and grabbed a Snickers at the store today after art class then continued to eat lots of carbs all day. Grocery shopped yesterday for my menu plan for the next week. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies!
Day 13: 10/05 - 228.2 / 228.3 - This was a surprise given yesterday’s eating pattern. No exercise. A 64 oz J V. 1000 calories over planned because I decided to have a shake at lunch! Poor decision. I should never order when I’m tired and hungry and it’s raining.
Day 14: 10/06 - 229.3 / 228.5 - Walked ~3 miles, A 64 oz. We are babysitting our granddaughter this weekend Friday lunch through Sunday. Decided before she arrives that I will get out and exercise.
Week 2 actual weight: 229.3
2nd Week Weight GAIN: 1.7
Accumulated weight loss: 2.7
Challenge weight to go: 10.3
Good days and bad days. I need to be more careful about the slide giving into instant satisfaction like milk shakes and Snickers. What’s great is that I’m clearly under 230 and didn’t bounce back up over it. Now to drive getting below 227 and make it stick!
Day 15: 0/07 - 229.1 / 228.6 - Up early with granddaughter and forgot to weigh until after a glass of water and coffee. Oh well it is what it is. Still stepped on the scale.

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.WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN: 3.0 lost
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: skipped a weigh-in, went for a morning walk on the beach boardwalk near our house, super lovely sunny day…finally!
Day 10-10/02-208.6 – up and down, up and down…maybe the popcorn I had yesterday?
Day 11-10/03-: 208.2 – I stopped messing around, back to weekday strictness! Workouts & stretches are feeling really good
Day 12-10/04: 207.0 – strictness has its rewards! My lower back as been so sore the past couple of weeks, I hope it’s not a kidney issue. I don’t have any other symptoms though so hopefully all the stretching will eventually help.
Day 13-10/05: 207.6 – wouldn’t it be nice if the scale just slowly and consistently moved downward? But I got to the pool this morning with the hubby and that felt really good. My back has been KILLING me the past couple of weeks so the lack of gravity felt amazing.
Day 14-10/06: 206.2 – Yay! The yo-yo hit the down mark just in time for the week 2 tally! Did a combo cardio/strength BG workout and a nice yoga stretch. I’m in a nice groove!
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 5.8 lost
Day 15-10/07: 205 – the scale is all over the place, another drop of almost a pound today! I’m prepared for a bump up tomorrow, especially since I tend to loosen the reins a bit on the weekend. I’ll try my best to stay on track though because I am enjoying the results! It’s a rainy day here so will transition my downstairs décor to something more autumnal…picked up a bunch of pretty little pumpkins & gourds to add to my flower arrangements, plus something called a “turban squash” that I’ve never seen before but will make a cool centerpiece!
