    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 am 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 50-11/11-DNW-(Trend weight DNW)


    Halfway Progress Report: 5.0 lbs Pounds Lost so Far. I am using day 49’s weight since I will be on a short vacation travel during this weigh-in and still away from home.

    Day 54-11/15-181.4-(Trend weight 183.8)

    Day 55-11/16-179.6-(Trend weight 183.4)


    Day 56-11/17-179.8-(Trend weight 183.0) I am up just a blip after beginning to self-sabotage last night. Luckily I kept it to my “approved foods” and stopped before the damage was too bad with a 0.2 lb gain overnight. I’m hanging onto the 170’s by the skin of my teeth. Those of you who know me best know that I will not consider myself in the 170’s solidly until I reach 177 point anything so I still have a ways to go. However, I am grateful for the possibility. Tomorrow I travel by car 4 hours each way with oldest daughter for a medical appointment for her (to the University Hospital). So food will not be at home and there will be lots of sitting. I expect a gain tomorrow. For my mentality I might even skip the weigh-in since the numbers are temporary anyway and not indicative of my true weight. On another note, Thanksgiving is coming up for those of us in America. I’m hoping I can tip-toe all the way up to it, Bang it out on Turkey day, then tip-toe back out without too much lasting damage. The key will be what I keep for leftovers and what I send home with others. Will it be lean turkey that I keep or will it be pie and desserts? Oh boy!



    WEEK 8 LOSS OR GAIN: 3.2 lbs LOST
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 8.2 lbs LOST



    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 57-11/18-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) Awake very early today with not enough time between my last food intake and this post so I did not weigh. Day trip today that is lengthy. I probably will not weigh tomorrow but I will post. Good luck everyone this round. It will be challenging for all those in the U.S.A. with the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. All we can do is our best and then focus on recovery. That’s my plan and I’m stickin’ to it.

    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.

    Day 24-10/16-143.6 – Now back to my weekday routine of eating better, no alcohol and making more of an effort to fit in my workouts.

    Day 25-10/17-142.9 – Improvement. Yesterday’s workout: 20-min full body kettlebells, 5-min core and 20-min spin class. Eating was on track. Ready for a productive day!

    Day 26-10/18-143.0 - Yesterday’s workout: 50 min spin class, 5-min core.

    Day 27-10/19-142.4 – Yesterday’s workout: 45 min ride on the Peloton. Nothing too intense but better than nothing. Slowly getting around to decluttering my home office. Got a new desk so that area is now organized. I don’t know why but I’m suddenly more productive. It’s like my brain has more room to process and follow thru with tasks. Something to be said for getting rid of clutter. Now to declutter the rest of my office.

    Day 28-10/20- 143.1 Having dinner & cocktails out tonight. Expecting a weekend gain as usual.


    WEEK 4 GAIN: +.04 [weigh-in: 143.1]
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: +.30

    Day 29-10/21-DNW

    Day 30-10/22-DNW

    Day 31-10/23-143.3

    Day 32-10/24-142.3- Surprised at this dip. It will probably go up again tomorrow though. Always starts with the weekend. It would be fine if I could get right back on track come Monday. I’ll have to work on it. Planning on shrimp tacos for dinner. Low carb tortillas for me.

    Day 33-10/25 - 142.8- Dinner before 6pm yesterday and nothing afterward. Surprised myself!

    Day 34-10/26 - 142.8

    Day 35-10/27 - 142.8- Same weight 3 days in a row and back to the weight I started this challenge with. Now it’s the weekend which always derails me. I will try harder.

    WEEK 5 LOSS: -.3 [weigh-in: 142.8]
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.0 [Challenge start: 142.8]


    Day 36-10/28 - DNW

    Day 37-10/29 - DNW

    Day 38-10/30 - 143.4 Worked all weekend. No workouts.

    Day 39-10/31 - 143.9 I will have to limit the wine, pizza and candies tonight. Fingers crossed. Happy Halloween!

    Day 40-11/01 - 143.6 Not too bad considering the wine & pizza I had last night. Didn’t go overboard though so that’s a good thing.

    Day 41-11/02 - DNW

    Day 42-11/03 - 143.6 Gaining and losing the same pound over and over. Whatever I’m doing is just maintaining. I need to figure out how to actually lose weight.

    WEEK 6 GAIN: +.8 [weigh-in: 143.6]
    Accumulated Gain: +.8 [Challenge start: 142.8]


    Day 43-11/04 - 142.7 Surprised at this number but I’ll take it. Got a cardio workout in yesterday... finally!

    Day 44-11/05 - 143.4

    Day 45-11/06 - 144.3

    Day 46-11/07 - 143.5 Back down a pound. Whew! It's a beautiful day here, although quite breezy.

    Day 47-11/08 - 143.6

    Day 48-11/09 - 144.9 Too much chili & rice yesterday. My favorite!

    Day 49-11/10 - 143.2

    WEEK 7 LOSS: - .4
    Accumulated Gain: + .4 [Challenge start: 142.8]


    Day 50-11/11 - DNW

    Day 51-11/12 - DNW

    Day 52-11/13 - 145 No words. Disappointed

    Day 53-11/14 - 144.3

    Day 54-11/15 - 143.1 Don’t know where this drop came from. lol I never know how accurate my scale is. Yesterday’s exercise: 1 hour (11.78 miles) Peloton ride. Nothing crazy, no climbs. Just at a flat road pace after dinner. Easing back into it.

    Day 55-11/16 - 143.4 Could have done better with what I ate yesterday. Glad I got in some exercise: 15-min low impact cycling and a 20-min kettlebell class. I’ll be hurting for the next 2 days for sure.

    Day 56-11/17 - 143.9 It’s the snacking / self-sabotage. Ugh! Yesterday’s exercise: 35 min cycling and 10 min. upper body strength training.

    WEEK 8 GAIN: +.7 [weigh in: 143.9]
    Accumulated Gain: +1.10 [Challenge start: 142.8]

    Day 57-11/18 - 142.1 Whoa…. Should I believe my scale? Almost a 2 lb drop in a day. Eating was on point yesterday and I stopped eating at about 7pm. Workout after dinner: 50-min bike ride.

    My BMI and stuff like that shows my optimum healthy weight should be between 110 and 118.

    Day 57-11/18 - 143.4 - Ribs last night. So yummy. I expected a gain, but I stayed in bed much longer than usual. Maybe it will show up in the coming days. Very sore arm from my Covid and Flu vaccines, kind of lethargic too, but that could be a Ribs hangover also. Beautiful and sunny out here today, but only -5c so far. Sipping away on my coffee. It is my favourite radio day. My favourite radio night starts at 3am Sunday mornings, international shows broadcast on the overnight. I will get out for a little walk later in the day when it warms up a bit. Loving sticking to my guns and not working on Saturdays.

    Round 2: 11.75" start, 11.5" Even though my weight is higher, my batwings are getting smaller?

    Round 4: 11.0" start 11.5- So pleased!!

    Round 6: October 09 - 29 - 11.4 - A bit higher, but I truly feel like my arms are tightening up
    Round 7: October 30 - Nov 19 -

    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 :minus 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.


    Day 15-10/07-xxxxx- 71 kg Ate over my limit. Start again and try for a week.

    Day 16-10/08-xxxxx- 71.3 kg. Ate under my limit, but then had a can of gin and soda....(a rare event for me)

    Day 17-10/09-xxxxx- 72 kg. Looking in my closet I found a size 4XL top I haven't worn since I was 100 kg (220 lb), back in 2021. I dropped it off at the Salvation Army after making a solemn vow never to get that heavy again.

    Day 18-10/10-xxxxx- 71 kg. Started off with avo on toast for breakfast, but later in the morning felt very unwell. Stayed in bed for the rest of the day with no food, just water/

    Day 19-10/11-xxxxx- 70.5 kg. Was able to get up and go out today. Still not much of an appetite, and coffee taste horrible, but at least I'm losing weight.

    Day 20-10/12-xxxxx- 70 kg Waist 31.5 ins, Hips 40.5 ins.- not the best way to reach the stretch goal I set at the start of the year, but I'll take it. Feeling much better today, still ate some extra protein and went easy on the fiber. At the start of the year I made myself a disincentive promise that if I didn't lose the weight I would send a $240 donation to a Politician I Very Much Hope Is Not Reelected. If I can keep at the current weight until the end of the year Mister Obnoxious will get nothing from me!

    Day 21-10/13-xxxxx- 70 kg. Exercising a little less, for maintenance, but also eating a little less - only half a lemon cupcake as a treat today, everything else was healthy. My focus now is less on continuing to lose and more on keeping the weight steady through the Holiday Season to the end of the year - which will be on us sooner than we expect! I do still have my rescued can of beer in the fridge, but will wait a few more days - alcohol once a week is enough.

    WEEK 3 LOSS OR GAIN: minus 1 kg.
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.5 kg - that's a little over one pound a week, just as MFP predicted.

    Day 22-10/14-xxxxx- 70.3 kg. I took some of the money I have found on the ground during my daily walks and bought a bag of colorful cotton yarn at the Sally Army. Intending to knit myself a pretty summer shawl. Then I met up with a friend for lunch and we shared a chicken salad wrap, which I thought would be healthy, but it turned out to have a bucketload of super sweet mayo.

    Day 23-10/15-xxxxx- 70.1 kg. Today was very wet so I stayed in and knitted. Changed my mind about the shawl and started to knit a lacy summer top - in size M!!! ..... well, a pretty loose size M, but M nonetheless. I did make pizza for dinner, but it had a sprouted seed base, not too much cheese and loads of veggies.

    Day 24-10/16-xxxxx- 70 kg. Started a new health goal - gradually cutting back on coffee. Hoping to have it down to one small cup a day by the end of the month, and cut it out completely in the New Year. In the past, when I was on stricter diets, I found coffee acted as an appetite suppressant. When I tried going cold turkey I started eating like crazy - after I was able to wean myself off for 18 months I was in a much better place both physically and mentally.

    Day 25-10/17-xxxxx- 69.8 kg

    Day 26-10/18-xxxxx- 69.9 kg. "Only" 4 cups of coffee today, and slightly over my calories allowed (but still in a deficit - just not a 500 cal deficit).

    Day 27-10/19-xxxxx- 70 kg. Grapes are fruit. Fruit is good, but the calories still count .... it couldn't have been the toasted cheese.....

    Day 28-10/20-xxxxx- 69.7 kg.

    WEEK 4 LOSS OR GAIN: minus 0.3 kg
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: minus 1.8 kg

    Day 29-10/21-xxxxx- 69.8 kg

    Day 30-10/22-xxxxx- 69.5 kg (152.9 lbs). Another 70 days to lose the last 2.5 kg - a little under 1.5 ounces per day (I switch from kilos and grams to pounds and ounces depending on which number seems more manageable - or impressive!) Losing 35.2 lbs sounds way better than losing 16 kg.

    Day 31-10/23-xxxxx- 69 kg. Mainly healthy eating today, but was shopping for canned fish and mushrooms when I got waylaid by a chocolate bar .... need to exercise more self control with the holiday season coming up.

    Day 32-10/24-xxxxx- 69.3 kg

    Day 33-10/25-xxxxx- 69.5 kg.

    Day 34-10/26-xxxxx- 69.3 kg.

    Day 35-10/27-xxxxx- 69 kg.

    WEEK 5 LOSS OR GAIN: minus 0.7 kg
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: minus 2.5 kg. Overall progress slow and steady - just over a pound a week. Just what the doctor ordered.


    Day 36-10/28-xxxxx- 68.8 kg. Down to a BMI of 22.5 or so, depending on how tall I actually am. It's harder to measure height accurately than weight. So long as I stay in the healthy range I'm not so concerned about BMI - more concerned about waist/height and waist/hip ratios which are also used for risk assessment.

    Day 37-10/29-xxxxx- 68.9 kg

    Day 38-10/30-xxxxx- 69 kg. So a slight increase, but I cheer myself on by realising I am down 31 kg (68.2 lbs) from my highest weight, about 3 years ago.

    Day 39-10/31-xxxxx- 68.8 kg. We don't really celebrate Halloween here (tho the marketers are trying hard to push it) The seasons are the wrong way round for us. Hope all my American online friends have a fun night.

    Day 40-11/01-xxxxx- 68.7 kg. Years ago I stayed for 3 months on a dairy farm. The family all drank raw milk and they were fine. The cows were free of disease. But after a few weeks of drinking it myself, I developed severe gastro-intestinal problems. Even after leaving the farm, I had diarrhea for 18 months and lost a ton of weight. It only cleared up after I cut out dairy completely. Nowadays, I can tolerate it in small amounts, but if I have more than half a cup of milk daily, after a while the gut/bowel problems come back. I rarely drink milk, but have been eating quite a bit of cheese lately, and it is definitely beginning to affect me. I need to give it up for a while, or at least cut back.

    Day 41-11/02-xxxxx- 68.6 kg. I am rapidly losing the battle to quit coffee .... but drinking it helps suppress my appetite and keeps me from snacking.

    Day 42-11/03-xxxxx- 68.5 kg.

    WEEK 6 LOSS OR GAIN: 0.5 kg
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 3 kg. Yes! I can have a slice of pizza now and then and still lose weight. How awesome that at the age of 65 I am finally learning to practice moderation.


    Day 43-11/04-xxxxx- 68.6 kg.

    Day 44-11/05-xxxxx- 68.7 kg.

    Day 45-11/06-xxxxx- 68.4 kg. I hadn't thought of this previously, but a few months ago my doctor reduced one of my medications - which has increased appetite and weight gain as side effects! I did, in fact, start to eat more and gain more after I was put on it. Now I am eating less, but I'm not hungry.

    Day 46-11/07-xxxxx- 68.3 kg. Went for a walk across the campus today and saw a dollar coin (USD0.60) on the ground. But when I went to pick it up some prank playing student had glued it to the sidewalk!

    Day 47-11/08-xxxxx- 68.2 kg

    Day 48-11/09-xxxxx- Forgot to post for the first time in 225 days! (I did skip one other day but I was out of town and had no net access.)

    Day 49-11/10-xxxxx- 68.2 kg.

    WEEK 7 LOSS OR GAIN: minus 0.3 kg. Now that I weigh less I need less calories to sustain me and given that my daily net limit remains at 1210, my deficit is less and the rate is slowing down. Still pretty confident of getting to 67 kg by the end of the year.
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: 3.3 kg

    Day 50-11/11-xxxxx- 68 kg! Yeah, scale, you goin' DOWN!

    Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 3.5 kg (7.7 lb) GONE!!!! I think I can .... I think I can ..... get to my goal in the next 50 days. 67 kg here I come - maybe even 65!

    Day 51-11/12-xxxxx- 68 kg. Waist 31 inches. Hips 40 inches.

    Day 52-11/13-xxxxx- 68.1 kg. I can fit comfortably into size 14 jeans for the first time in I don't know how many years - think that's a US size 10. But the dress size measurements vary so much between manufacturers you always have to try the durn things on anyway. Vanity sizing!

    Day 53-11/14-xxxxx- 68 kg. The students are all finished with exams and I had to be careful in my walk across campus today because there was a load of junk dumped outside all the abandoned digs. I did pick up a whole still wrapped dozen rolls of toilet paper and a couple other useful things.

    Day 54-11/15-xxxxx- 67.9 kg.

    Day 55-11/16-xxxxx- 67.8 kg. I have heard from my family member in Ireland who is recovering well from her heart attack, but she has also been diagnosed as prediabetic. I tell myself I don't eat much cake and cookies - well, I don't buy or bake them. But looking back at my food diary, the truth is whenever I'm at an event or just having coffee with a friend, if I'm offered goodies I can't say no. Also looking thru the pantry I'm shocked at the amount of sugar in cereals, baked beans, sauces, etc. I need to be much more vigilant.

    Day 56-11/17-xxxxx- 67.8 kg

    WEEK 8 LOSS OR GAIN: Only 0.2 kg lost this week, but it's still a loss. We are getting close to the feasting season, and I'm already succumbing to the offered treats.
    Accumulated Loss or Gain: Minus 3.7 kg.


    Day 57-11/18-xxxxx- 67.7 kg. Did Not Eat Sugar Today! Will try to avoid it for the whole of this week.

    Day 58-11/19-xxxxx- 67.7 kg. I fasted before early Mass as usual, only for 12 hours, which has never been a problem before. Father asked me to do the readings, OT, Psalm and Epistle. So 3 in a row, quite lengthy. I was part way thru when I started to feel a bit light headed, but kept going, and then the words started to blur. I just got to the end of the last reading, then blacked out. Everyone was very kind and helpful. Someone brought me some cold water and after a few sips I felt better. They wanted to call an ambulance, but I insisted it wasn't necessary and was able to walk home afterwards. I've had this problem for years. When I'm moving I'm fine, but getting up in the morning and standing for long periods always makes me dizzy. My doctor says it is low blood pressure, but doesn't want to put me on drugs. She says it isn't dangerous unless I hit my head falling.

    “We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

    Round #3 --- 195.6
    Round #4 --- 211.0

    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 am 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 57-11/18-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) Awake very early today with not enough time between my last food intake and this post so I did not weigh. Day trip today that is lengthy. I probably will not weigh tomorrow but I will post. Good luck everyone this round. It will be challenging for all those in the U.S.A. with the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. All we can do is our best and then focus on recovery. That’s my plan and I’m stickin’ to it.

    Day 58-11/19-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) I avoided the scale today after the traveling yesterday. With both lunch and dinner at restaurants, I just didn’t need to see the damage that I can feel. I have leftovers today so I’m trying to decide whether to eat them, freeze them, or possibly give them away if my foodie size 0 daughter comes by. Whenever I hit a new weight decade I usually teeter back and forth between the two decades (in this case 170s/180s) for a bit before finally and firmly settling into the new decade. This week complicates it with it being Thanksgiving week but I will be working very hard on it every day in-between. My large family Thanksgiving Dinner will be on Saturday. I’m not yet sure what my son and I will do on Thursday. All my other children will be with their in-laws. Ours is always delayed because I am the retired one and free most anytime.

    @tinathescreamer Wow, that's very scary that you blacked out. I think maybe you should eat a little something just on the day of your Mass. Maybe shift your fasting window slightly the night before? I don't think it would have anything to do with weaning down on the coffee. Hopefully you can figure this out. Falling can become very dangerous. {{{hugs}}} to you.

    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

    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 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 3 actual weight - 143.2 - Started the week at 141.8

    Week 4 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 4 actual weight - 142.4 - Started the week at 142.6

    WEEK 5 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 5 Actual weight: 142.2 - Started the week at 142.2

    WEEK 6 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 6 Actual weight: 142.6 - Started the week at 142.2 - Hit the 141(.6) once during the week

    WEEK 7 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 7 Actual weight: 144.8 - Started the week at 143.0

    WEEK 8 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
    Week 8 Actual weight: 143.4 - Started the week at 143.4

    Day 57-11/18 - 143.4 - Ribs last night. So yummy. I expected a gain, but I stayed in bed much longer than usual. Maybe it will show up in the coming days. Very sore arm from my Covid and Flu vaccines, kind of lethargic too, but that could be a Ribs hangover also. Beautiful and sunny out here today, but only -5c so far. Sipping away on my coffee. It is my favourite radio day. My favourite radio night starts at 3am Sunday mornings, international shows broadcast on the overnight. I will get out for a little walk later in the day when it warms up a bit. Loving sticking to my guns and not working on Saturdays.

    Day 58-11/19 - 143.8 - I was up just before 3am to listen to the overnight shows that I love. Not working today. I did go back to bed for awhile at 6am. There is snow on the ground today, just a skiff. I will do laundry and stuff and some more cooking. My arm where I got my vaccines feels quite a bit better today. It didn't stop me from Fitness Marshall yesterday. I heard the key is to keep moving it around anyway. I am short one pack of prawns for my Jambalaya batch, so I will get out to the grocery store this morning to pick some more up. Laundry and stuff today too. I need 2 days off a week and will try to get as many of those as I can.

    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. 11.25 started with 11.0 but completely okay with that, maybe building some muscle there.
    Round 6: October 09 - 29 - 11.4 - A bit higher, but I truly feel like my arms are tightening up
    Round 7: October 30 - Nov 19 -

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

    Round 7 start measurement: 11.4 upper arm (batwing)

    Day 14 - Nov 12 – 5:49 of the 3 - must have rushed through it?
    Day 15 - Nov 13 – 7:22 of the 3
    Day 16 - Nov 14 – Missed. I really could have used the legs up portion of it, but I was tired and just couldn't get motivated to put myself on the floor.
    Day 17 - Nov 15 – 6:22 of the 3
    Day 18 - Nov 16 – 6:27 of the 3
    Day 19 - Nov 17 – Nada, very sore arm from the 2 shots in it.
