    with me.....

    Day 07-01/07-- 69 kg!!! Ummm.... this maybe TMI, but has anyone ever weighed themselves, then needed to go, then felt a strong desire to weigh themselves again - to see how much they dumped? ....not to boast - but, 0.5 kg? like, over a pound? Wow.

    My, that is impressive!! :D:o ha ha I definitely wait to weigh in until AFTER!!

    Donna, wow, never thought of looking on Amazon. Thx. :)

    I like the little Merkury Geeni cameras, I think that you can get a 2 pack on Amazon. Best to order a micro SD card at the same time, 32gb gives you playback for a month.

    I was a video surveillance technician/supervisor for 7 years and used very expensive cameras and hundreds of them, but these little geenies work great. I could see my house even when I was in Dallas on holiday. The app for the phone works great. They require AC power, and wifi.

    What kind of music is Old Dominion?

    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.

    Week 1 Goal: 143.2 (beginning of last 100)
    Week 1 actual weight: 145.6 - Start weight of the week 145.6

    Day 08-01/08 - 145.8 - 1126 calories consumed yesterday, lots of activity including ice skating for 47 minutes. I will be doing that every Sunday, the only day when there is public skating at an arena. It was awesome, loved it so much. Of course dinner was late from working late. This is how it is going to be, can't change that or I would only have around 700 calories from the day. No time to eat at my night job, and most days I am running from one job to the next so only have the time to eat a tiny bit in between.

    Week 2 Goal:
    Week 2 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 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.

    Sadly, I am going to have to drop this challenge, it really exacerbates my very sore shoulder, caused by my second job. I plan on keeping the second job only until the end of August 2025. I may drop my "line" come May and go "casual" so perhaps I will take this challenge up again until October when I plan to take another line. My garden needs to be my priority and the second job really screwed that up in 2023.

    Start weight of this 100: 145.6
    Measurements: Waist - 33", Hips 37"

    Yes, it was such a fun night! Old Dominion is a contemporary country music band from Nashville. It was a full-house. :)

    I’m Teri
    Age 60, 5’4”

    Challenge Starting Weight: 144.3 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 138lbs

    Mission for this challenge: Avoid refined sugar and keep meals low carb, IF 16:8, exercise at least 4 times per week, drink lots of water, get enough sleep, keep up with vitamin supplements. Simple right? ;);)

    Day 01-01/01 - DNW

    Day 02-01/02 - 145.3 All sugar & water retention in this gain as a result of a fabulous Holiday season with friends and family, but I’m not depressed about it. I know what I have to do. Now the work begins.

    Day 03-01/03 - 144.7 Food intake wasn’t the best yesterday, but it was better than all of last week.
    My daughter returns to college today (sad), and so I’ll begin my exercise routine later today.
    Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [ ] enough water [ ] exercise

    Day 04-01/04 - 144.4 Stayed away from the leftover Christmas goodies and though I did not go
    overboard on carbs, I could have done better. Today is the day I get on the exercise wagon. [I think I said
    that yesterday].
    Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [ ] exercise

    Day 05-01/05 - 144.8 A little snacking last night but kept the 2 main meals low carb, so not sure
    where this uptick is from. And it’s the weekend – yikes – I’ll try to keep the cocktails to a minimum.
    Concert tomorrow night (Old Dominion).
    Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [√] exercise: 15 min core, 20 min upper body, 30 min cycling

    Day 06-01/06 - 143.9 Enjoyed my pasta for sure.
    Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [√]
    exercise: 10 min core, 20 min lower body, 20 min cycling

    Day 07-01/07 – 143.5 Home is finally getting back to normal (decorations put away, cleaning out the fridge, etc) after the Holiday festivities which all happen at my house. Though I love all the gatherings – from Thanksgiving thru New Year’s – there’s a lot of time and effort that goes into it. So last night I treated myself to some cocktails and live music (Old Dominion concert). Great start to the New Year!
    Yesterday: [√] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [√]
    exercise: 20 pilates, 30 min cycling

    Week 1 Goal: 143.3
    Week 1 actual weight: 143.5

    WEEK 2

    Day 08-01/08 – 144.1 Had a really good day yesterday as far as eating goes. Homemade vegetable soup and a nice salad for dinner. Also watched ‘You Are What You Eat’ on Netflix. Very eye-opening.

    @dawnbgethealthy Since you & I are the only ones who actually use the format, I will not be posting my strength training going forward. However, I will continue to do it along with whatever exercises I can fit in.

    @bteri107 I also watched "You are what you eat: the twin experiment" on Netflix. I was horrified on so many of the conditions on which we get our food (especially meat) sources!
