    @dawnbgethealthy - I'm not having any issues on my computer using the website version. I'm not on my phone much for community posts ... just logging food.

    Yes, I use my computer too.
    It seems fine today, so just a glitch I guess : - )
    Haha, it was Friday the 13th yesterday.

    I expect that your temps are a little more bearable around this time of year to get out and play in your garden : - )

    @dawnbgethealthy - Yes we are having beautiful weather!!! I can actually sit outside and soak up the sun :)

    Glad that you are joining us : - )
    I did the same thing, lost weight on MFP, then in my case thought that I didn't need to track anymore (because I knew amounts?) and gained 50 pounds back.
    I plan to track for life now, because it is way too hard to lose.

    24 hours shifts?!? Yikes. That must mess with your body and head in so many ways. And yes, make it difficult on the food choices so that you are feeding yourself well nutritionally to sustain that type of schedule!

    Good point, extra weight is hard on our joints.
    My doc wants me to lose weight.
    It is so dang hard to lose though!
    131 is the magic number to take me out of the overweight category according to the newest BMI stuff from Oxford University.
    https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/bmi.html

    I was there at that weight. Sucks that I am having such trouble getting back there, but I will keep trying.
    My ankle and opposite knee bother me too much. I'm not sure if it is from getting older or having gained back 15 pounds.
    The other thing I think is that when we walk outside it doesn't hurt as much as walking inside on concrete. I don't really have a choice about that since I work indoors, walking non-stop on concrete.
    I feel like walking every day outdoors while on holiday and pushing a lawnmower around my yard on a day off didn't bother my ankle and knee.
    Today I will try to do more of my little dance workouts on my mini tramp instead, and aim to get out to a trail of some sort.

    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

    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


    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 Rounds Tally :
    This shows the ending weights of each round:

    Day 22-10/14-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) My DGS got me up very early. He was already full of energy and hungry for his pumpkin pancakes so I forgot to weigh before drinking my coffee. Yesterday I was over on calories and carbs due to foodie DD bringing fall treats so I’m sure there has been no progress. I did jump on the exercise bike late last night for 32 minutes even though it was a very busy evening and it was very late when I did it. I also canceled all my own planned snacks because of it. Today is scheduled to be a normal calorie & carb day on zig-zag so while there should not be a dramatic drop, especially after the goodies yesterday, I’m hoping it will keep any collateral damage at bay. I was polite yesterday but today I will not be eating any of her kind, thoughtful, generous junk.

    Day 23-10/15-187.0-(Trend weight 186.6) One perfect day with just a couple of evening gifted goodies can do so much more damage that I ever imaged. I’m sure the glycogen has refilled in my liver and I am experiencing that water increase in my body, among other things. Yesterday was picture perfect. I just need to remember that the body has it’s processes and this too shall pass. I am also still having some TMI issues that I’m sure is not helping. It will all work itself out. I just have to stay diligent and committed. I really like that I am managing to eat much healthier than any other time in my life. Baby steps!

    Strength Training Mini Challenge Round 6:
    I will continue to work on batwing arms and flabby thighs. I will also try to engage in some floor/standing/chair exercising to tighten stomach area especially. I will try to add in some aerobic exercise like walking or dancing or the exercise bike AT LEAST 5 days a week. This is not my dream, it is my pledge to myself.



    Day 01 - Oct 09 – 6 min with 5 lb weights, 70 minutes walking inside the school, 15 min of regular floor exercises, Iso knee x 3.
    Day 02 - Oct 10 – 5 min with 2 lb weights, 15 minutes of general floor exercises. Iso knee x 1. I didn’t do much in the form of exercise yesterday. I was so sore and I think it was from the walking on the hard floors of the school the day before. I did do about 15 minutes of floor exercising and stretching after I closed out my MFP last night to try and loosen things up. It feels slightly better today. I lowered my weights down to accommodate sore shoulders.
    Day 03 - Oct 11 – 5 min with loop arm bands, 33 min on exercise bike including HIIT, 16 min of aerobic dancing, 15 min of general floor exercises, Iso knee therapy x 3.

    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.

    WEEK 2 GAIN: +0.6
    Accumulated Gain: +0.6


    Day 15-10/07-143.5 – Nothing exciting to report. Just trudging along.

    Day 16-10/08-DNW

    Day 17-10/09-144.3 – Have to work harder. I don’t remember it being this hard.

    Day 18-10/10-144.4 – Had a productive day yesterday, but no workout. Did not go off the rails with “bad” foods. I’m too close to 145 lbs. Need to reel it in.

    Day 19-10/11-144.3 – Yesterday’s workout: 50 min spin class. But snacking gets me everytime.

    Day 20-10/12-143.8 – Yesterday’s workout: 20-min full body kettlebells, 5-min core and 20-min spin class. I hope I worked off the calories & carbs from my hamburger & fries from McDonald’s. No chips all day… yay me!

    Day 21-10/13-xxxxx-142.7 – Happy with this scale read. Low carb day yesterday and no “bad” snacking. Took a break from working out. My body was hurting from the kettlebell workout the day before. Harder to recover the older I get.

    WEEK 3 LOSS: -0.70 [weigh-in: 142.7]
    Accumulated Loss: -0.1

    Day 22-10/14-142.8

    Day 23-10/15-143.8 – Can’t explain this jump.

    Week 3 goal weight: <227 until I hit it!
    Week 3 actual weight: 231
    3rd Week Weight GAIN: 1.7
    Accumulated weight loss: 1
    Challenge weight to go: 12
    Two weeks in a row gaining 1.7 pounds puts me back where I started above 230. YIKES!

    Day 22: 10/14 - 229.8 / 229.6 - No exercise.
    Day 23: 0/15 - 228.9 / 229.4 - Walked 1.6 miles. Enjoyed the church bazaar down the street from us with the littlest granddaughter!
    What I need to remember is that in 2024 my activities include being active, walking, hiking, swimming! In order to do that I’ll need to be slimmer and not have knee problems. I imagine if I can take some of the weight off my knees then I would be more mobile. Like they say use it or lose it! Mobility is key to the aging.
