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.

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.

Day 58-11/19 - DNW
Day 59-11/20 - 143.1 Busy week: full-time job, cleaning & prepping for Thanksgiving. I need to find time to fit in my workouts. Excited to see my daughter who flies in with her roommate on TG morning.

Day 65-11/26 - DNW
Day 66-11/27 - DNW Back on track today.
Day 67-11/28 - DNW Thanksgiving weekend was definitely a trigger. Slowly weaning off the carb/sugar cravings. Yesterday was ok and today should be better. Yesterday’s workout: 20-min high intensity bike ride, 30-min “walking” bike ride.
Day 68-11/29 - DNW
Day 69-11/30 - DNW Stopped eating by 7:45pm last night. Yesterday’s workout: 20-min chest & back, 5-min core, 30-min biking. 10-min stretch class this morning, which I hope to do on a daily basis to combat pain & stiffness and to help with flexibility.

Day 74-12/05 - 143.9 – Lost a few ounces but I still feel the bloat and one of my old faithful tops is fitting pretty snugly. I know what I have to do. Got my stretching in this morning. Trying to make this become part of my morning routine. Otherwise, I foresee stiffness in my lower back and hips becoming a chronic issue. Sunny and breezy in my neck of the woods. Currently 75° F.

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 :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.
Day 59-11/20-xxxxx- 67.6 I didn't worry about eating under my limit today, I just ate healthy (no sugar) and drank lots of water. I'm thinking I may have been losing weight a bit too fast and that accounts for the weakness yesterday. So I will just concentrate on keeping my weight stable until New Year. If I do get down to 67 kg that's great, otherwise I'm already slap bang in the middle of the healthy BMI range. I'd like to get my waist back down to 30 inches, but I'm taking my time.
Day 60-11/21-xxxxx- I did check with my doctor today, and she said it was likely due to dehydration. I need to be more vigilant about drinking water whenever I feel the urge for coffee, instead of opening the fridge door and grabbing whatever's there. She did weigh me, and on her scale I am 73 kg! (albeit fully clothed) I am 5.3 kg (11.66 lb) heavier than I thought I was! But still in the healthy weight range. Maybe I will drop another kilo by NYE, maybe it will have to wait till 2024.
Day 61-11/22-xxxxx- 72.5 kg. Alleluia! Dropped a half kilo overnight! Which Saint do I thank for this miracle?! Is there a patron saint of weight loss?
Day 62-11/23-xxxxx- 72.4 kg.
Day 63-11/24-xxxxx-72 kg.
WEEK 9 LOSS OR GAIN: PLUS 4.2 kg!!!! Durn scale.
Accumulated Loss or Gain:plus 0.5 kg. Not so bad after all. If I can end this 100 Day Challenge at the same weight as I started, despite scale variation, I'll be happy.
Day 64-11/25-xxxxx- 71.5 kg. Yay! back where I started.
Day 65-11/26-xxxxx- 71.4 kg. Just 5 weeks to the end of the Challenge and the end of the year. With today's deficit, MFP tells me I will get down to 69 kg.
Day 66-11/27-xxxxx- 71.3 kg. Today I decided to eat up what was left in the fridge and pantry (not much left from my Eat Down The Pantry Challenge). For breakfast I had butter flavor popcorn and 2 apples. Lunch I mixed a spoonful of ricotta with some milk powder, an egg and a little Italian seasoning and turned a poppy seed bagel into savory French toast - I prefer mine savory to sweet. Dinner I cooked up some potato gnocchi with the last of the frozen broccoli and a can of mushrooms, and instead of sauce I stirred in a generous amount of garlic hummus. Sounds like a weird day of eating but it was all quite tasty, and I still came in under my calorie limit. Oh and a banana for a snack. I still have plenty of rice and flour and lots of canned veges, beans and fish which will last me till next Tuesday when I get paid. I will also be able to access my Christmas Club money then and will use some of that to stock up again.

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 10 LOSS OR GAIN: 3.0 loss
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
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!
Day 16-10/08: 204.0 – Ok this is getting a little crazy. Either my scale is going cuckoo…or it did occur to me maybe my whole back issue was causing a lot of inflammation & keeping the scale inflated? My husband suggested a lumbar pillow for my desk chair and it has made the WORLD of difference, that pain is essentially gone…but we’ll see if the loss sustains through the week. I did stay within my calories yesterday so that helped as well I’m sure! Today I’m proud bc DH and I were supposed to go for a walk on the beach like we did last Sunday, then chores got away from us and he felt like it was too late to go…and I took a look at the sun shining outside and went for a walk on my own through the park Did 2 miles and feel really proud I didn’t just follow his lead and sink into the couch to watch football. Yay for me!
Day 17-10/09: 204.4
Day 18-10/10: skipped, started work at 6:30am
Day 19-10/11: 202.8 – So exciting!! This is a pound before my pre-vacation weight in August, so I am officially in (recently) new territory – and it’s just a pound above my lowest weight in 2 years. I think I am FINALLY in the right headspace to get out of this CENTURY on the scale that I had no business being in the first place!! Did a great BG workout & yoga stretch, the sun is shining, and I am feeling tremendous today!
Day 20-10/12: 202.8 – Holding steady. I’ll take it! Had a great pool workout with the hubby this morning - it’s a beautiful day here in the Bronx, hopefully I can steal away for a quick walk later today and feel the sun on my face. I love working from home, but sometimes realize it’s been an entire week and I haven’t left the house!!
Day 21-10/13: 202.2 – unbelievable!!! I’m not sure when this train will slow down but I am thrilled!
WEEK 3 LOSS OR GAIN: 4.0 lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 9.8 lost
Day 22-10/14-skipped
Day 23-10/15-skipped
Day 24-10/16: 202.4 – indulged a little this weekend so expected a bigger bump up! I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop with the scale but I am taking every win I can! I went over my calories yesterday but it wasn’t a junk food binge or anything, just over my calorie limit with relatively healthy food. I did a ton of food prep – chicken zucchini noodle soup for lunches (plus a few for the freezer), and seasoned cauliflowerrice/broccoli mix with roasted portabello mushrooms for dinner. I made FF turkey burger sliders & air-fried French fries for football, and also prepped DH’s chopped salads he takes to work for lunch. We’ll be away next weekend so I needed to make sure I was ready to go with food in the freezer for next week. Did a BG workout & stretch this morning and ready to get back to weekday strictness!
Day 25-10/17-202.4 – a NSV this morning, did a yoga stretch where you pull your knees to your chest and then twist to the side – and realized I could get them all the way to the floor! 20 pounds ago that was an utter impossibility, due to my stomach being in my way. Feels good!!
Day 26-10/18: 202.0 – Ok, so now we’re back to last week’s weigh-in. I guess that weekend stuff hung around longer than expected, only two more days to show any kind of loss for this week…or the scale is simply adjusting to the big week I had last week. It never lets you get too far ahead, does it? I've been very consistent with workouts and am starting to feel more fit, which is wonderful on its own. (You gotta let the scale think you don't care, or it will torture you on purpose ha ha) I just measured though and am down 1.5 inches in my waist and .5 inch on my hips since before my vacation in July (the start of the last backslide) so progress goes on with or without the scale!!
Day 27-10/19: 200.8 –A new 3 year low! 5 more pounds till my pre-pandemic weight!! We’re leaving early tomorrow morning for a long weekend away – I’m sure I’ll do some damage eating at multiple restaurants all weekend and there for sure will be cocktails involved – but I’ll try to keep it moderate so I don’t do too much damage. I won’t have time to post a weigh-in though so this will count as my weekly weight, and we’ll see what next week brings! Hopefully I can eliminate any weekend indulgences and get close to onederland by the end of next week…we shall see!
Day 28-10/20-skipped
WEEK 4 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.2 lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 11 pounds lost
Day 29-10/21-skipped
Day 30-10/22-skipped
Day 31-10/23: 204.2 – weight jump to be expected after a veerryy indulgent weekend. We’ll see as the week goes on how much of that is water…did a quickie BG workout & yoga stretch just to get my head back into the healthy mindset. It was a great weekend though – we think we found our dream home! Worth the fight back to the new low.
Day 32-10/24-skipped
Day 33-10/25-skipped
Day 34-10/26: 198.6 – ONEDERLAND AT LAST! I’ve had two back to back 14 hour days starting at 6am, so this is the first weigh-in since Monday…and I was so shocked I changed the batteries in the scale and re-calibrated to make sure it was real!!! After an indulgent 3 day weekend I was only hoping to make it close to my low of last week…surpassing it was not even an expectation. I haven’t done any exercise the past 2 days but I did stay on plan in terms of intermittent fasting and calories…frankly the fact I got right back on Monday is the biggest victory of all – that is ALWAYS my downfall, I let 3 days turn into 2 weeks turn into 2 months…until I’m starting all over again. NOT THIS TIME BABY! I mean I know it’s just one time I’ve managed to do this but it’s one time more than I ever have before, so I am celebrating a NSV along with the victory on the scale! Let’s see if it holds up tomorrow….
Day 35-10/27: 198.6 – holding steady! I’ll take it! I took some pix this morning, since this is a new low and it’s been a minute…and the difference between now and almost 30 pounds ago is so encouraging!! Did a nice BG barre fusion workout & a yoga stretch, ready to face the day!
WEEK 5 LOSS OR GAIN: 2.2 lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 13.2 lost
Day 36-10/28: 196.6 – Another nice drop! This makes it officially 30 pounds down since mid-June, and also officially my pre-pandemic weight...though it might be bc weigh-in was a little later in the day than usual and I haven’t had anything to drink in a few hours. So I won’t hold my breath for tomorrow, but even so it feels good! I had a great workout in the pool with the hubby and about to enjoy this unseasonably beautiful warm day!
Day 37-10/29: 197.8 – had a feeling yesterday was a fluke…but still maintained a drop from Friday, it’s all good. It’s a rainy day here – got in another great pool workout & focused on upper body strength work, and am about to embark on my food prep for the week- chopped rainbow salad for DH’s lunches, Eggroll in a bowl with FF ground turkey, seasoned cauliflower rice/chopped broccoli, roasted portabellos & some cauliflower mash to go with chicken stroganoff I have in the freezer. Later will make oven bbq drumsticks, air-fryer fries and cornbread for football food. Rainy days make food prep a sort of cozy activity!
Day 38-10/30: 198.6 – Hm, scale is being very fickle! It could be a combo of incorporating more strength into my workout yesterday & tending not to drink as much water on the weekend…or also simply getting back to my weekday weigh-in time which tends to be earlier in the morning. Whatever it is, I’m not concerned…I’m feeling really good and just trying to keep my head screwed on straight in terms of prioritizing my health. Got all my food prep done yesterday so am ready for the week!
Day 39-10/31-198.6
Day 40-11/01: 197.4 – ok hopefully this drop sticks! Have a deadline at work today but just stopped to do a 15 min strength/15 min stretch workout….it’s really important for me to fit in even quick workouts especially on more high pressure days, otherwise I find myself fighting that “bad” food craving … I’m really proud of the progress I am FINALLY making and am determined to never leave onderland again!
Day 41-11/02: 197.0
Day 42-11/03: 197.0 – It’s been a pressured last few days at work but I’ve stuck with tearing myself away to do at least quick workouts and stretching…I’m really proud of how far I’ve come and really appreciate this challenge keeping me motivated and honest!!
WEEK 6 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.8 loss
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 15 pounds lost
Day 43-11/04 - skipped
Day 44-11/05: 195.4 – Oh, so exciting to see these numbers keep getting lower! DH has a 40th HS reunion coming up the day after Thanksgiving, and I am so pumped to go shopping in my closet for something to wear!! I’m hoping to make it into the next decade by then, but I’ll take progress in any form. I got some food prep done yesterday, the usual Eggroll in a Bowl for my lunches and Chopped Salad for DH’s lunches…today trying a new thing for football food, 2 ingredient air fryer soft pretzels – just self-rising flour & FF greek yogurt. We got some SF honey mustard dip to go with it… We shall see! Also trying a recipe to make my own “turkey sausage” crumble using FF ground turkey – will put on a roll for DH with some FF shredded mozz, peppers & onions (I mean, how bad can that be?) and some air-fryer FF. I’m going to add some to my cauliflower rice/chopped broccoli/roasted Portobello mixture, along with some sautéed kale. If it’s any good that’s a versatile protein to add to zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, etc.an easy thing to prep on its own and freeze in portions, so fingers crossed!
Day 45-11/06: 197.8 – well, here’s where weighing daily is helpful! I did have a higher than usual calorie day yesterday, but not crazily high…so we’ll see how this shakes out as the week goes on. The scale can’t take away trying on a dress I haven’t worn in at least 4 years and having it look AWESOME! So a nice checkmark on an outfit for the reunion. Also those two recipes I tried yesterday ROCKED, though I did have to cook the pretzel bites a little longer than they said in order to be fully browned & cooked through, next time I think I’ll try cooking them in the air fryer…and the turkey sausage seasoning recipe really did mimic sausage – with much lower calories, sodium, processed whatever…DH approved both so those will definitely move into the regular football rotation! Here’s the links in case anyone is interested: https://cookingmadehealthy.com/easy-pretzel-bites-2-ingredient-dough/, https://confessionsofafitfoodie.com/how-to-make-homemade-italian-sausage-with-ground-chicken-or-turkey/
Day 46-11/07: 197.0 – ok, headed back in the right direction…did a good BG tabata walking/weight circuit, was a fun change in routine.
Day 47-11/08: 196.0 – Back in the loss column for the week, let’s see if I can eek out a bit more by Friday! I’ve been staying consistent with my workouts & stretching, even if I keep them a little shorter when I have a busy work day. For me, that’s the key to keeping my head screwed on straight health-wise!
Day 48-11/09:195.8 – eeking downward…I had to get 3 biopsies done on suspected basal cell carcinoma areas on my chest and nose – my poor nose has already had Mohs surgery about 4 years ago, taking a chunk of cartilage from my ear to replace the chunk they took out of my nose, and this small red spot appears to indicate it making a return in the same spot. The numbing needles hurt SO MUCH I wanted to just say skip it and just do it without!!! So I almost used that as an excuse to skip a workout this morning, then rallied to do a short 20 minute cardio workout and stretch. Feeling much better as a result!!
Day 49-11/10: 195.8 – took my measurements, and down an inch on my waist & hips from 3 weeks ago! It’s so nice seeing these numbers get back to things I feel like are more “me”.
WEEK 7 LOSS OR GAIN: 1.2 loss

Day 54-11/15: 194.6 – It’s been a crazy work week, yesterday I started at 4am and went straight to 6pm…almost gave them two full days for the price of one! I found out those biopsies were all positive for basal cell skin cancer – no risk of death or anything but I have to get the two on my chest burned off today and then deal with getting another chunk taken out of my nose. Alas, my modeling career is going to take a hit!! But at least the scale is continuing to cooperate…
Day 55-11/16: 194.0
Day 56-11/17: 194.0 – Had the cancer areas burned off my chest, it hurt but was over more quickly than I expected so counting that as a win. Work is still nuts, hanging in there and trying to make sure I still get some movement/stretch in…

Day 60-11/21: 192.6 – I had a higher calorie day on Sunday so expected a bump up…glad to see getting right back on track yesterday still resulted in a drop in the scale! So fricking excited!! I can’t wear the “hot” dress I planned to DH’s high school reunion because you can see the open wounds on my chest (decidedly un-sexy!) but I was able to still go shopping in my closet for another outfit- a little more conservative but probably for the best, wouldn’t want to cause gossip ha ha! I have to hold on to this feeling over the next few days, as challenges will abound…my goal is to get right back on track and fingers crossed simply maintain my low from this week. ..I will try not to let the air out of all 4 tires!!!
Day 61-11/22: 191.4 – So close to a decade I haven’t seen since Feb. 2020…my boss wrapped us all early so I am getting a jump on some cleaning. DD21 comes home today for Thanksgiving, and I can’t wait to have our little family brunch tomorrow…but for now I’m alone in the house and feeling like I’m on my own little vacation!
Day 62-11/23: 191.0 – I imagine this weight won’t sustain through next week (or even till tomorrow) – just had a yummy Thanksgiving brunch with the fam to kick off 4 days of traveling/potentially being off-plan. I will do my best to make good choices, and will bring my own non-alcoholic wine to share so I at least have some healthy options for myself. (I picture myself saying that last sentence in my Girl Scout uniform, right hand with 3 fingers in the air…)

Day 68-11/29: 192.6 – this is a shocking number, I expected it to be at least 3 pounds higher after being off-track for nearly a week. I made some decent choices and some terrible choices but am thrilled the damage isn’t too bad! DH’s HS reunion was nice, I felt good in my outfit and the two of us had so much fun just being away together. Got back on track yesterday, and just got a workout/stretch in. My head is back to being screwed on straight in terms of health and now setting my sights to see how low I can get by Christmas!
Day 69-11/30: skipped – another 5am start for work…
Day 70-12/01: 191.0 – I mean, I’m just thrilled to death to make it back to my low of last week! And since I didn’t do an official week 9 total, I’ll just claim it for this week. I did a BG tabata workout this morning and just feel so damn GOOD – a far cry from how crappy I felt on Tuesday morning when I finally stopped my holiday indulgences…it’s hard to remember that in the middle of partying & seems a lesson I have to learn over and over again! BUT getting back on track within a day or two of getting back from traveling is still a huge win for me, and really helps with my all-or-nothing mindset. I don’t have to be perfect, I just have to get right back on track!! Can it be I’m finally starting to master that skill????

Turns out she had a mass in her abdomen that had already spread to her lymph nodes, and there were no meaningful interventions we could do that wouldn't just prolong her suffering with no hope of her lasting more than a few weeks. Our family is devastated, especially our daughter since it was her cat. We drove Molly up to her in college so they could say goodbye, and then drove back to the vet and put her at peace. It's horrible and surreal and I'm going to start crying again just typing this... poor Molly we love you so much.

@Lilylady3k
Thank you for sharing that menu and photos!
Cauliflower mash, seafood, not too many calories there, a bit of linguine. Really only the dessert looked high in calorie.
Interesting pairings! I wouldn't have thought of a petite syrah with shrimp or marinara. I will have to try that some time.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
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 5 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it

WEEK 6 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it

WEEK 10 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 10 Actual weight: 144.8 - started the week at 144.2
Day 71-12/02 - 144.4 - Had a wonderful pedicure after work. She is a nurse and my feet have taken a pounding over the years. So lovely. Prosecco and Camembert followed. Snowing today so beautifully. I will definitely be getting out to shovel later on when it slows. My boots are in my car though lol. I love the snow!!
Day 72-12/03 - 145.2 - Cooking today, then going for a hike with a friend. We are due for another Arctic River this year, heavy rains and +6 degrees are in the forecast this coming week. I would much rather have snow : - (
Day 73-12/04 - 145.8 - I ate a lot of calories yesterday, more than usual, but mostly healthy. 10 portions of Borscht now in the freezer. I did this batch with Farmer's Sausage, so it is nice and smoky. I had bought myself a new giant stock pot, red : - ) It worked great and was easy to clean enamel. I also came down with something late Saturday, like many of you. Runny nose, sore sinus and eye, but only on one side of my face weirdly. I took two Nyquil capsules before bed and it cleared up within 1/2 hour. The night before I couldn't sleep with the runny nose. So far looking like an easy workweek ahead, but shifts could add as the week goes along. More cooking could get done : - )
Day 74-12/05 - 145.6 - Picked up a shift at the other job for tonight, so mixing up some tuna for a quick bite in between jobs today. Arctic River beginning to happen here for over the next few days. My cold is much better today, I think that I was in bed at 7:30 after a nice hot bath.
Day 75-12/06 - 146.2 - Of course not happy with this. 1400 calories, lots of activity. Definitely feeling bloated.

WEEK 11 Goal: 139.8 - this will be my goal each week until I hit it
Week 11 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. 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 - 11.25
Round 8 November 20 - Dec 10 -
Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive new habit.

@jennysweet58 I know the love and the bravery it takes to put your beloved furry family member at peace. You have shown her the greatest of all loves. My thoughts and prayers are with you today as I hope that you will find your own kind of peace with it. I hope the memories of her warm and wonderful life will stay with you in the coming days, weeks, months and years. My deepest condolences to you, your daughter and your entire family.

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 74-12/05-180.6-(Trend weight 181.7) My goal today is to not self-sabotage. I will be home all day due to this horrible chest cold that just isn’t giving me any breaks. There is no excuse for me not to stick to my eating plan. My appetite is not being affected whatsoever so the battle rages on! Exercise, however, is still tough because I’m so weak. I have tested Covid Negative twice now. Yesterday I was finally able to at least get on the exercise bike for a leisurely stroll. I’ve pre-logged my food so I think I’ll be okay. I really need to dip back down into the 170’s so that all progress is not lost. I’m very close……
Day 75-12/06-179.4-(Trend weight 181.4) So FINALLY, after multiple travels, a large food-infested birthday party and a Thanksgiving Feast, CRAWLING, Scratching, HISSING, begging, SNARLING, fighting, I am back into the 170’s. However, I need to see my 177 to feel firmly planted so that one meal, one social event, one travel doesn’t put me back over. Plenty of those are coming! I wish I felt better so I could get in a bit more exercise but I’m still full of phlegm and coughing badly. I’m doing my best to get up some of my Christmas Décor so at least I’m getting in more steps with more time on my feet and less time on the couch. Fa-la-la-la-la.

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 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.

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.

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 58-11/19 - DNW
Day 59-11/20 - 143.1 Busy week: full-time job, cleaning & prepping for Thanksgiving. I need to find time to fit in my workouts. Excited to see my daughter who flies in with her roommate on TG morning.
Day 60-11/21 - 143.0 Not the greatest with food choices yesterday, but what else is new? One more trip to Costco this morning and I’ll be ready to start TG food prep tomorrow. Will be decorating and setting-up today. Last night’s workout after dinner: 45-min bike ride.

Day 66-11/27 - DNW Back on track today.
Day 67-11/28 - DNW Thanksgiving weekend was definitely a trigger. Slowly weaning off the carb/sugar cravings. Yesterday was ok and today should be better. Yesterday’s workout: 20-min high intensity bike ride, 30-min “walking” bike ride.

Trying to make this become part of my morning routine. Otherwise, I foresee stiffness in my lower back and hips becoming a chronic issue. Sunny and breezy here today. Currently 75° F.
Day 75-12/06 - 142.6 Morning stretch [√]. Feeling a little better today. Inflammation has subsided a wee bit. Did not go crazy with food yesterday, and no potato chips!

@Lilylady3k – Wow, your pictures of dinner last night look absolutely delightful! Thanks for sharing… I can almost taste it through the screen!3

@ deepwoodslady – I like your idea of being at least 3 lbs into the lower decade on the scale to feel more securely planted. I’m changing my challenge goal weight to be 137 lbs instead of 138. Don’t think I’ll meet it during the current challenge but maybe the next. Hope you feel better soon.2
