Day 03-01/03 - 144.4 - Had a horrendous night, somebody on my porch at 1am, luckily I have my phone plugged in next to my bed (alarm clock) so opened my camera app, turned on the microphone and yelled "get off of my porch" and the guy ran off. After a few minutes I went upstairs (I sleep in the basement basically underneath the porch) and there was some sort of comforter, 2 pairs of pants, a glove. I threw those off of there and hastily put up yet more signs like "you are on camera" and attached them to chairs that blocked entrance to the top of the stairs to the porch. Needless to say, I got very little sleep, I was so disturbed. That porch is my happy place. Luckily I have only one job today instead of 2! Going to be tired.
OMG how scary!!! So glad he just ran off!! I bet the next day was hard bc your body was jacked from the cortisol and lack of sleep!! Hope there hasn't been a repeat occurrence.

So my husband and I have a "grateful jar" that we add notes to through the year of things we're grateful for - and we pull them out and read them every New Year's Eve. This year there was I had written that one my husband pulled out to read which I had totally forgotten about that I wanted to share:
Jan. 7, 2023
I am writing in gratitude to my future self for really focusing on her goals of better health and weight loss. My greatest hope is that when this is read on the eve of 2024, that she can smile with pride and say "You're welcome, past me!" And if there is more work to be done in 2024 - GET TO IT!
So you can imagine how exciting that was to hear after finally dropping 40 of the 50 pound goal I had set for myself!! I was beaming and my eyes filled with tears and I shouted "You're welcome, past me!!" And full disclosure - I faltered after writing that letter. I lost some, then gained it all back AGAIN. By June I was at an all-time high, about to hit the 230's. The moment that stuck with me was trying to find an outfit to go to a college friend's graduation party she was throwing for her son who graduated med school...and being in tears because nothing fit, even recent things I'd bought in bigger sizes. Something clicked - I needed to change, for real and for good. And that's when I found my current plan and finally started seeing results. I haven't been perfect, and I've had setbacks even since then, but have so far mastered the skill of getting back on track quickly enough so that any weight gains are eradicated fairly quickly. It feels a little like magic after so many years, but I was beyond grateful that when I heard that letter to myself I was filled with pride instead of regret!!! For anyone struggling - and we all struggle or we wouldn't be here - make this the year you make yourself PROUD!!!
Your future self will thank you!! 9 -

Day 05-01/05 - 145.8 - I thought that today was our end of week weigh in, kind of glad that it isn't. 2 jobs today, but only 1 job Saturday and Sunday, so hoping that I can bust through some stress, get some rest, and let my body get rid of some weight : - )
I was thrown off too, I liked the Friday end of week weigh-in from the last challenge because that's usually my lowest weight for the week! And I don't weigh on weekends because my schedule is off...so think I'll just keep my own weekly weigh-in on Fridays. And I think I prefer the end format from the last challenge, just posting the loss or gain from the week and the accumulated loss or gain and focusing on the overall downward trend vs. my tendency to beat myself up over missed goals. So...
Day 01-01/01: 183.4 - I missed weighing in during the last week of the last challenge because of holiday craziness, and given I gained during the holiday week I am posting my lowest weight here so that I’m accurately tracking my overall weight loss.
Day 02-01/02: skipped - first day back on track after a week of debauchery
Day 03-01/03: 188.8 – Burpee Girl cardio/weight workout & yoga stretch, and first day stepping on the scale…it could be worse! Onward & downward!
Day 04-01/04 – skipped – had a follow-up sonogram that turned out to be clear, so good news! Walked to and from the subway through the park for my exercise, and remembered there was a time in my life not so long ago I wasn’t able to do this because of my knee issues. Starting the year out with gratitude!
Day 05-01/05: 184.6 – Yay! A nice water whoosh! It’s thrilling to be almost back to my lowest weight so quickly. It’s always a struggle to “start” again but by Day 3 or 4 I feel so good!!! Did a longer BG workout alternating cardio & weights, those are my favorites – plus a nice stretch.
Day 06-01/06 skipped - will do a pool workout today with the hubby
Day 07-01/07 skipped
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN 1.2 pound gain
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.2 pound gain

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ January 1st thru April 9th, 2024
My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Round #17---183.8
Thoughts:
While other challenges may show bigger losses (or gains), it really depends on what date you are looking at with me because I do go up & down quite a lot, especially with my frequent required day trips. However, from Jan 1st through Dec 31st, I lost 16.0 pounds in the full year of 2023. That is what I have lost and KEPT OFF. While I am very proud of that, I know that the road ahead is long and will be a difficult one since I still have so far to go and so many health related obstacles in my way. Each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I can make, no matter how big or small. I am also grateful for all the support from all of you that I get on a daily basis. Working on my health has become my #1 priority. My main goals are to maintain my remission by staying cancer free and to keep my diabetes in control. Losing weight is key to both goals.

Day 05-01/05-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) Back to my school bus schedule for DGS in Kindergarten. Up at 6:15 which is about 4 hours earlier than usual so I typically do not weigh on Fridays. Yesterday I worked on finishing up removing and packing up the Christmas décor. So many steps! It felt like the old days when I worked before retirement!
Day 06-01/06-183.0-(Trend weight 180.5) I have not been doing well since Christmas. I have let the festivities get the best of me. I have abused the leftovers. I have done way more sitting than moving. It’s time to get my butt in gear. I usually get “on a roll” and do well. I go in streaks and right now I’m on a bad one. It’s time to get back on the good side of the tracks. I know I can do this if I try harder. Sometimes I just get burned out. Today I take my grandsons out for haircuts and then to lunch. I think I will just watch them eat and not order anything. I can eat at home later. I can’t afford (physically) to have a bad day today.

My daughter returns to college today (sad), and so I’ll begin my exercise routine later today.

that yesterday].

Chad here day 6 173.4 when i started around 3rd week of december. I am trying to get to BMI 24
I have known for quite some time my calcium score is elevated and i have high blood pressure but i literally just worked out more and tried different diets but i would still eat way too much and drink too often thinking my exercise would help but clearly that was not correct. so for the first time ever i am writing things down and adding in my exercise aiming for 300 calories under. not snacking after dinner and trying not to drink.

Looking fwd to my 3rd 100 Day challenge.
My personal goal for 2024 is to just lose 15, 20, 25 then ?30 pounds; I need this achievement
Have a couple of pretty athletic goals for 2024; 80km KVR bike ride, the Grouse Grind, then as a reward I'll paddle my kayak on the turquoise waters just east of Jasper, Alberta.
Week 1:
Day 01-01/01: 174.4 worked as server at a Seniors' Assisted Living facility. Small things make a difference. We're using "Christmas" plates which are larger and heavier to handle. Back is sore ++.
Day 02-01/02: 175 Worked. 1st job after breakfast was to exchange dishware; double the dishes to put thru the sanitizer but worth it! Back isn't as sore. But exhausted from stress.
Day 03-01/03: 175.6 Edited my wt loss goal for this week as aware that I won’t achieve it is causing internal stress. Walked an hour. Frustrated with WW as they've changed their app so you can't do a "quick" entry of a food not in their database. Hopefully they'll 'fix' this. I've always believed in their approach but recent changes have left me feeling like the ship has sailed without me.
Day 04-01/04: 173 *whew* Tidying and decluttering is on the agenda then relaxing with friends. I’m a bit of a social creature so find it’s easier to stay on or close to plan with company than when alone.
Day 05-01/05: 175.2 Unexpected call in to work at 5:30; fortunately another server came in early so she was happy to finish the shift I was covering. Spent afternoon looking at properties with friends.
Day 06-01/06: 174.4 Finally snowed a couple of inches; temps are just below freezing. Chili’s on the menu. Not sure if I’ll get a walk in; 50 squats – ____; 100 heel raises - _____; back fat loss exercises _____.

It has been a rough start to 2024. I haven't been able to start walking or working out like I had planned. I've lost a bit of weight!...but I know that that will come back as I start eating again.

Nice to see new peoples joining us.
Donna, I've also slipped into a lack of enthusiasm / motivation. But recall a WW article where you think of your motivation level as the face of a clock. 12 is highest, 3 is slipping a bit, 6 is not really tracking, exercise is slipping, etc. 9 is just drifting away and this continues thru 10 and 11. However by 11 we realized we're headed for a shipwreck and get our act back together. So 11 is closest to 12, which means when we're at our lowest, we're also closest to getting right back on track.
Post Christmas I've slipped down to "5, 6 or 7"; weight is bouncing around 174 instead of 171-172. Do not want to get any higher so need to push back up to 3, then 2 and 1. This round of challenge WILL BE the beginning of my success story!
Dawn, how unsettling to have a midnight 'visitor'. Wonder if talking to RCMP would be of any value; they might have an idea of who it was. At times I wish we had a dog but I'm not into picking up poop.
Dawn, thought a bit about your predicument, and what about a motion sensor at your front porch, set high enough so cats etc wouldn't set it off; then what we did when we moved into a sketchy area, we put a copy of an alarm company's emblem inside our front and back windows ( neighbour had a ready supply )
found this on amazon .. " https://www.amazon.ca/Wireless-Motion-Sensor-LED-Light/dp/B0BX4349GJ/ref=sr_1_5?crid=31I8BQFBY8N7M&keywords=motion+detector+alarm&qid=1704573871&sprefix=motion+detector,aps,418&sr=8-5&th=1 "
Friends are due back soon so need to buzz around and get dishes done etc.
We got this!!!

This year there was I had written that one my husband pulled out to read which I had totally forgotten about that I wanted to share:
Jan. 7, 2023
I am writing in gratitude to my future self for really focusing on her goals of better health and weight loss. My greatest hope is that when this is read on the eve of 2024, that she can smile with pride and say "You're welcome, past me!" And if there is more work to be done in 2024 - GET TO IT!
So you can imagine how exciting that was to hear after finally dropping 40 of the 50 pound goal I had set for myself!! I was beaming and my eyes filled with tears and I shouted "You're welcome, past me!!" And full disclosure - I faltered after writing that letter. I lost some, then gained it all back AGAIN. By June I was at an all-time high, about to hit the 230's. The moment that stuck with me was trying to find an outfit to go to a college friend's graduation party she was throwing for her son who graduated med school...and being in tears because nothing fit, even recent things I'd bought in bigger sizes. Something clicked - I needed to change, for real and for good. And that's when I found my current plan and finally started seeing results. I haven't been perfect, and I've had setbacks even since then, but have so far mastered the skill of getting back on track quickly enough so that any weight gains are eradicated fairly quickly. It feels a little like magic after so many years, but I was beyond grateful that when I heard that letter to myself I was filled with pride instead of regret!!! For anyone struggling - and we all struggle or we wouldn't be here - make this the year you make yourself PROUD!!! Your future self will thank you!!
Please do share your current plan, that is working for you.

Hi
I am Dawn
5'2" (used to be 5'3"), 63 years old
Brand new year! Of course going to try to take off some greasy pounds.
Day 01-01/01 - 145.6 - I had a drop from my end weight of the previous 100, perhaps just getting over the stress and pain from my most recent ankle injections? Who knows. I see people posting their start measurements, so I think that I should do that too at the bottom
Day 02-01/02 - 145.0 - I almost ate 2 dinners last night after working 2 jobs back to back and being so hungry. So glad that I didn't. My norm is to have 1/2 of a tuna sandwich in between the 2, and I was so late getting off of the one that I only managed 1/4 of the sandwich. I had prepped 3 dinners (really just took them out of the freezer, I did massive cooking and portioning back in November) for my days of 2 jobs each day so that they would be ready to pop into the microwave. I am on track to work 136 days straight with zero days off, so really need to make sure that my nutrition is on point. Working on swapping some shifts so that I can get a weekend off this month : - )
Day 03-01/03 - 144.4 - Had a horrendous night, somebody on my porch at 1am, luckily I have my phone plugged in next to my bed (alarm clock) so opened my camera app, turned on the microphone and yelled "get off of my porch" and the guy ran off. After a few minutes I went upstairs (I sleep in the basement basically underneath the porch) and there was some sort of comforter, 2 pairs of pants, a glove. I threw those off of there and hastily put up yet more signs like "you are on camera" and attached them to chairs that blocked entrance to the top of the stairs to the porch. Needless to say, I got very little sleep, I was so disturbed. That porch is my happy place. Luckily I have only one job today instead of 2! Going to be tired.
Day 04-01/04 -145.4 - Somehow gained a pound yesterday?! Ended up working the second job last night after all. I tried to refuse it, but they said that they really needed me and that it would be an overtime shift since at that job we are required to get 2 days off in a row, maybe a union thing. Still, I am working 7 days per week between the 2 jobs. I am resolute to not accept a shift at the second job for tonight, too tired. I have been swapping some shifts so am planning to take a weekend away 16 days from now. Bonspiel on the Lake/Snowflake festival in Invermere BC. I have booked a motel already
Day 05-01/05 - 145.8 - I thought that today was our end of week weigh in, kind of glad that it isn't. 2 jobs today, but only 1 job Saturday and Sunday, so hoping that I can bust through some stress, get some rest, and let my body get rid of some weight : - )
Day 06-01/06 - 145.0 - prepping food for the next few dinners (or week), back to Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner, easy to just cook extra veggies every couple of days to add to it. Off to work shortly. Just one job today.
Day 07-01/07--
Week 1 Goal: 143.2 (beginning of last 100)
Week 1 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 - 11.25 - Glad to see this number even though I have gained quite a bit of weight recently.
Round 9: Dec 11 - Dec 31 - 11.0 - Happy to see this even after gaining weight in the last challenge. I do feel like my arms are firming up, and the leg draining feels so right.
Round 10: Jan 01-21
Going to keep this up. 4-5 minutes is easy to fit into a schedule. Positive new habit.
Day 01 - Jan 01 – 7:13 of the 3 - Very sore shoulder from work, might skip Tuesday night, we'll see.

Congratulations to everyone who completed the previous challenge. I have not been able to continue posting daily so I admire your perseverance. Who can resist a round starting January 1st? Anyway, I want to lose as much as possible in this round.
About me: male, 59, chronic yo-yo dieter. 43 percent on the way to lose 32 kg.
I'm going with a starting weight of 81.5 kg which is what I weighed on December 31.
Day 01 83.1 kg I'm tracking my intake and going for an average of 6,000 kilojoules. I'll post how much over that in total I am. I had a morning 45 minute walk, and it was raining in the evening so no walk then. My food was 6249 kilojoules so I'm over by 249, I want to get rid of that in the next few days.
Day 02 82.7 kg, two 45 minute walks and intake is 5839 KJ food which means I have overeaten in total by 88 kilojoules.
Day 03 82.4 kg, two 45 minute walks, 20 minute shopping walk, I ate 6584 kilojoules so I'm over by 672.
Day 04 81.8 kg, two 45 minute walks, I ate 5306 kilojoules of food so I under ate in total by 22.
Day 05 81.9 kg, two 45 minute walks and 40 minute shopping walk, I ate 6472 kilojoules so I'm overeating by 450 kilojoules
Day 06 81.4 kg New Low, lowest weight in 5 years 1 month, I delayed tracking my intake until late in the day, 7276 kilojoules eaten so I'm 1726 kilojoules over what I should be, that's going to take a long time to get back to zero, no biggie though, two 45 minute walks.
Day 07 81.5 kg

@Lynn_W @dawnbgethealthy I have also ordered the alarm company stickers from Amazon. I used them at my last house. I have no idea why I didn't think of them again when I moved but I'm going to be ordering them again! I hope you will also do that Dawn. They will think you are being monitored 24/7, including when you are not at home (and you are gone a LOT). Thanks for the idea Lynn!3 -
