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
Week 2 Goal: Didn't put one this week
Week 2 actual weight: 145.0 - started the week at 145.8
Day 15-01/15 - 145.4 - Rushing this morning. 2 jobs today and tomorrow
Day 16-01/16 - 145.4 - Didn't get to eat at (or before) my primary job (restaurant) because it was extremely busy. I always take lots of food there, portable stuff to eat throughout my shift: apple, banana, berries, rice cakes and nut butter, instant oatmeal etc. I just didn't get a chance. Ate a bit running home to change uniforms for my second job which is a non-stop job. I just have to get through the 2 jobs today, then only one job for 3 days then...I swapped some shifts so that I can have a mini getaway up to the Snowflake Festival/Bonspiel on the Lake at Invermere BC. Leaving straight from my primary job on Friday, I plan to have the car packed : - )
Day 17-01/17 - 144.6 - Ate more calories yesterday, a whole sandwich instead of my usual half in between jobs (which made me late by 2 minutes for my second job). 1450 calories yesterday and I lost weight. Another hmmm. I have lots to do before I go away. Finally snowing here, so I will be shoveling before work, my fave thing to do. It will be a happy day by getting it started that way, and not having to go to the second job.
Day 18-01/18 - 146.0 - Ouch. Really active day, shoveling a few times, workouts, walking (at work). Hate to see a jump up in weight of course.
I normally do take my scale and laptop when I go away, but I may have to pare everything down because the friend that wants to come with me (I prefer to travel solo) is having car troubles and may be packing into my car with me. I was looking forward to some alone time, at the very least in my car for the beautiful drive up there, and doing things in my own time. Also, I had planned to stop and see a few friends up there and along the route. I have a tiny car and the thought of having to rethink and repack everything is stressing me out. Trying to take deep breaths lol. Not much time before work today to begin the process, I only found out about her car last night. I was going to try to leave today straight after work, but now might have to wait until Friday to go because of her schedule. So travel and everything all in one day, not sounding like a relaxing trip at the moment, I just won't get to see any of my friends up the valley. Some very rare time off, I'm sure that I will make the best of it, I need to be open to it not being the kind of trip that I wanted it to be, it will just be something else : - )
Not sure if I will be weighing or posting the next couple of days.
MFP says that days like that will land me at 127 in 5 weeks, but I know better.
Here were my numbers from yesterday, basically input and output were close to the same:
Day 19-01/19 -
Day 20-01/20 -
Day 21-01/21 -
Week 3 Goal: 143.4
Week 3 actual weight:
Start weight of this 100: 145.6

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 16-01/16-183.4-(Trend weight 181.5)
Day 17-01/17-182.6-(Trend weight 181.8) I’m turning this weight around. I don’t feel like changing my colorful “cross off chart” on all my challenges and I don’t feel like changing my ticker. So I am going to have to stick to the plan if I want to be an honest woman. I’ve been doing well on my meals-it’s the snacks that I have to worry about. I think the main problem is that I am staying up too late which puts me hungry again so many hours after my dinner. I’ve mainly been sticking to “approved” snacks, but it’s still eating into my exercise calories on some days. I don’t want to maintain I want to lose, so I’ll have to work on bedtime. Wow, looking up I can clearly see that I needed a little pink ink in my entries this month. Happy to have added one today!

I’m Teri
Age 60, 5’4”
Challenge Starting Weight: 144.3 lbs
Challenge Goal Weight: 138lbsMission 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).

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 [√]

Yesterday: [ ] IF 12-16:8 hours [√] vitamin supplements [√] 6-8 hours of sleep [√] enough water [ ]
exercise:
Day 12-01/12 – 144.1 I fully expected a decrease on the scale this morning. Both eating and exercising were on point yesterday. And I do feel less bloated. I guess the jump in weight could be the result of my binge 2 days ago. And now it’s the weekend… oh lord.

I was already at my top weight and then gained another 20 pounds during the pandemic that I am proud to say that I finally dropped during the last challenge! My initial goal is 175 – a weight where I feel healthy and fit in my clothes again –but who knows, I may decide to go lower since this plan is working so well for me. I’ll see how I feel once I get there….WHICH I WILL!!! (It is so great after struggling for so many years to simply KNOW I WILL GET THERE!!)For anyone interested, I’m doing Intermittent Fasting, with an eating window between 2pm and 9pm. I’ve been following the Fast800 plan with low-carb / Mediterranean-style diet, and have recently started loosening the reins on the weekends (what they’d call the 2:5 plan I think?) I also aim for moderate exercise and a yoga stretch 6 days a week- I do Burpee Girl Youtube workouts and yoga stretches using the Down Dog app.
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 BP workout alternating cardio & weights, those are my favorites – plus a nice stretch.
Day 06-01/06
Day 07-01/07--
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN 1.2 pound gain
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.2 pound gain
Day 08-01/08: 185.4 – Just did a BG 30 min tabata cardio / standing abs workout plus 20 min yoga stretch , and I’m definitely feeling the difference being able to go deeper into stretches as my belly slowly gets out of my way. I did some yummy food prep yesterday – made rainbow salad for DH’s lunches, then a cauliflower rice / mushroom “risotto” with chopped broccoli for my dinners that is so delicious I’ve been making it the past 3 weeks, I am obsessed! And also made a version of turkey chili that is 90% veggies and is now going to go into my rotation for lunches, I was almost shocked it came out so well. Both are big hearty servings with just over 200 calories each…ready for the week!
Day 09-01/09: 183.4 – ok, back to pre-holiday weight. Time to break new ground! Did a BG 20 min strength workout and 10 min yoga stretch – enough to calm down the stress and anxiety I have over a situation with my daughter…so hard to figure out how to help adult children struggling with mental health issues, and then I’m stressed because I feel like I’m falling behind at work trying to help…think I have at least an initial solution though so time to get on with my day.
Day 10-01/10: 183.6 – Do you ever wake up and just “feel” skinnier? Like you can suck your stomach in and it makes a difference? Ha ha -that’s how I was feeling this morning, and did a slightly higher intensity 30 min BG kickboxing/standing abs workout and a 15 min yoga stretch. I swear the yoga app (Down Dog) seems to know what I need to stretch, as my thighs were a little sore from all the squats yesterday and today’s stretch really worked them out – while yesterday I needed more upper body and it was right on track again! Because I was feeling skinny I took my measurements today – it’s been a month since the last time, and once again I was measuring over and over bc I couldn’t believe I lost an inch and a half on my hips, and half inch from my waist!! These numbers are getting down to ones I haven’t seen in close to 5 years, it’s really exciting!! I have a journal I started last January with weights & measurements, so I’m just re-using those same calendars for my new entries…seeing the old numbers amid the new is a stark reminder to see how far I’ve come, and to never go back!!!
Day 11-01/11: 182.0 – Hurray! Finally into new territory after the holidays – this also is officially 45 pounds down for me! Five more pounds till my first goal (that I’ve had for at least 5 years and never made .) Did a nice 25 min BG tabata workout and 15 min stretch.
Day 12-01/12: 182.0 – this will be my final weight of the week, since I don’t weigh on weekends. Happy with this result!
Day 13-01/13: skipped – today will do a pool workout with the hubby, food shopping and food prep. I am going to do the exact same food prep as last week because it was delicious!! Also I tend to go in phases, eating one meal for a long while and then transitioning to something else…for now I am loving my (mostly veggie) turkey chili, and my “faux” mushroom risotto with cauliflower rice. My freezer is still stocked with Eggroll in a Bowl and turkey zucchini noodle soup so I am in good shape!!
Day 14-01/14: skipped
WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN - 2.6 pound loss
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.4 pound loss
Day 15-01/15: skipped, went out to a local brewery with the husband, drank wine, ate fried food and got into a big fight…such a bummer! And the fight continued through the rest of the day…
Day 16-01/16: skipped – and then even after we sort of made up in the morning I continued the pity party the whole next day, deciding that bingeing was the perfect partner to wallowing in sadness and depression…
Day 17-01/17: skipped – thankfully I woke up this morning determined not to let all my hard work slip away. I did a great workout/stretch and got back on track with my food choices, drinking tons of water…man oh man, that binge monster is always lurking, ready to pounce! But I know as long as I don’t let it turn into weeks I can right the ship fairly quickly. We’ll see if it results in a gain for the week…work has been a little nuts so my routine is all screwed up! But at least the husband and I are back to normal.
Day 18-01/18: 184.2 - to be expected. Hopefully will get a dip down tomorrow so I don't have to end the week with an accumulated gain, fingers crossed I at least hit my original start weight...I really need to buckle down. I've made great progress and I have to be really careful not to allow myself to begin unraveling it!

Accumulated Loss or Gain:

65 years old. 5' 8". Started back in March 2023 at 85.5 kg, down from my all time highest of 100 kg (220 lb) Since participating in the last two 100 Day Challenges I'm down to 70 kg (154 lb). My aim this time is to drop another 5 kg and reach my ultimate goal weight of 65 kg (143 lb) - and keep it off for the next two years at least - hopefully forever!
Day 01-01/01-- 70 kg. Waist 30.5 ". Hips 40 "
Day 02-01/02-- 70.2 kg. This is like investing for retirement in the stock market. The advisor told me 30 years ago "Think long term. Don't chase high returns for quick gains - aim for slow and steady returns. Don't worry about daily fluctuations - as long as you stick with it the overall trend will be upward." Happy now I took his advice.
Found a jar of Kalamata olives in the pantry. Delicious! but I'm trying to limit myself to 4 daily. And yes! - I already got rid of the cheese and crackers I'd normally have with them.
Day 03-01/03-- 69.9 kg.
Day 04-01/04-- 69.6 kg. who would've thunk there could be marshmallows in the pantry and I am only eating two per day?! Sloooowly breaking the impulse to Eat All The Goodies Quick while they're around because Lord knows when there'll be any more - food insecurity issues from childhood.
Day 05-01/05-- 69.5 kg. Yay! Hit my 1st week goal already - just have to maintain for another two days rather than going off the rails and overcelebrating with treats to reward myself for losing the weight.....
Day 06-01/06-- 69.8 kg. I started knitting a lace scarf last month. It is very fine yarn on tiny needles, and I can only work on it in daylight. For the last 4 weeks I have been knitting 8 rows a day, and now my scarf is 22 inches long! I was feeling very proud of my progress and thinking it was a good lesson in perseverance with the weight loss plan as well. Well! so today I went to pick it up and somehow - pulled out the needle! Oh, ye knitters of the world, weep 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.
Week 1 Goal: 69.5 kg.
Week 1 actual weight: 69 kg.
Day 08-01/08--69.8 kg.... ???
Day 09-01/09-- 69.2 kg. Grandma used to say "What you gain on the swings you lose on the roundabouts." I'm guessing this was originally an allusion to the old style carnival where you paid to go on the rides, but maybe the barker was also running some kind of "chance to get your money back" gambling dodge as well? Anyway, it seems appropiate to eating for weight loss - cut out a slice of bread here and lose some, drink a can of soft drink "just this once" and gain it back.
Day 10-01/10-- DNW
Day 11-01/11-- 68.9 kg. I'm always hearing "eat protein for breakfast" and "breakfast like a king", but I just can't do that. A big plate of bacon and eggs always leaves me feeling uncomfortably full, weighed down and heavy. I just don't want to go for my usual morning walk, whereas a bowl of oatmeal, or a couple slices of wholewheat toast, with a piece of fruit, fills me until lunchtime, while still feeling light and active. I'm thinking there are many cultures where no, or just a light breakfast is the norm - it's really only the last 200 years in the Western world that 3 meals a day has become the norm. Even in the 60s, when I was a kid, snacking was not the usual thing - there weren't all the granola bars and cheesy chippy things we have today. I'm wondering how much of being told what we "should" eat, is actually real science based, and how much is funded by food manufacturers who want us to buy their products - how many orders for pizza delivery have been placed after seeing an ad? and deciding then "I'm too tired to cook".
Day 12-01/12-- 68.8 kg.
Day 13-01/13-- 69.2 kg. We are having a heat wave and it's exhausting to walk outside. Also I'm on medication which makes my skin more photo sensitive, so no to being lots in the sun. Fortunately, my appetite has decreased with the heat and I don't feel like cooking, so lots of raw fruit and veggies are on the menu.
Day 14-01/14-- 69 kg. Some cookies and chips came ..... into my possession. "Them that asks no question, isn't told a lie. Watch the wall, my darling, while the chocolate cake goes by." So I just ate the treats (about 800 calories) and nothing else.
Week 2 Goal: 69 kg.
Week 2 actual weight: 69 kg. So no net loss or gain this week, but still on target.
Day 15-01/15-- 68.8 kg. I want to knit a sweater for myself and I'm in a dither over what size to make. I know I'm 2 dress sizes smaller than I was, but I need my actual measurements. And then I need to work out how big the completed sweater will be and how much ease I want - I don't want "sweater girl" negative ease, but I don't want baggy oversize either, since I still have a little more weight to lose.
Day 16-01/16 69.8 kg. I found a big jar of mayo at the back of the fridge......I would have taken it to the food pantry, but it was already open....spent the evening gorging on mayo and cucumber sandwiches. No, I regret nothing.--
Day 17-01/17-- 70 kg .....Well, the rest of the mayo is gone - I hate to waste food, but, yes, it went down the sink - and the fiber in all the wholewheat bread has worked, so here's to a drop on the scale tomorrow.
Day 18-01/18-- 69 kg. Hopefully back on track.
Day 19-01/19-- 70 kg. Is it the scale or is it me not being super careful over tracking? I am perflummoxedcombobulated! Maybe my body is telling me it's happy at current weight and doesn't want to go lower?

So far eating better has been going pretty well but I’ve only met my exercise goal once this week. Luckily, I have a fairly physical job and I walk a lot in general, but it’s not quite enough for my current goals. No more excuses! I need to get off my booty and start trying to get up and move at least 3 times a week. 🏃🏻♀️ 🏋🏻♀️ 🚴🏻♀️

Lynn_w snow clearing is an amazing workout, well done.
82kg
Week 1 80.8kg
Week 2 80.3kg
Day 15-01/15--80.1kg crossing everything for tomorrow weigh in 🤣
Day 16-01/16--80.3kg...why?! Might need to look at tweeking foods if no change by end of week, I'm eating under goal a little, intermetent fasting and almost zero snacks between meals as well as logging everything.
Plus side tummy fat is very very soft and not hard. Woosh waiting perhaps?
Day 17-01/17--80 kg..horray! I've been watching lots of food lifestyle programs Dr Mosely (sp) has been quite eye opening "Secrets of the big shop" Also a new one where they use visualization as a tool to manage food portions rather than cutting out food groups and not seeing food as good and bad. It helps keep me on track much like my cleaning after watching a hoarding program. Half day at work 5 hrs normally rack up about 10-12k steps.
Day 18-01/18--80kg...scale is doing a teeter yot between a lower weight, hopefully I'll break into the 79s. Having read on it realistically 0.5kg is a better loss to aim for , Im used to weighing in lbs.
Day 19-01/19--79.5kg at last after being stuck for about ten days. "Trust the process"🤣 I wonder if my trend is to stay in the 79kg for another ten days. Today I do look a little more compact rather than wobbly and round, a double win. First mini goal 73kg then I'll be back to pre steriods weight while still being on steroids.

So, I got this new scale and it displays the weight differently to my previous one. Where I used to have it displayed with a numerical decimal point, now there are fractions! So while it looks like I've been bang on 165 for the past three days, it's actually gone up and down between 165.1/4 and 165.3/4 but I wasn't planning to write out these fractions as they look weird. I think I might start rounding them up to .3 and .8 as that's probably easier. In other news, last night I tried on some PJs that I'd not worn for ages as they'd been uncomfortably tight, but now they're not. Yay!

I was already at my top weight and then gained another 20 pounds during the pandemic that I am proud to say that I finally dropped during the last challenge! My initial goal is 175 – a weight where I feel healthy and fit in my clothes again –but who knows, I may decide to go lower since this plan is working so well for me. I’ll see how I feel once I get there….WHICH I WILL!!! (It is so great after struggling for so many years to simply KNOW I WILL GET THERE!!)For anyone interested, I’m doing Intermittent Fasting, with an eating window between 2pm and 9pm. I’ve been following the Fast800 plan with low-carb / Mediterranean-style diet, and have recently started loosening the reins on the weekends (what they’d call the 2:5 plan I think?) I also aim for moderate exercise and a yoga stretch 6 days a week- I do Burpee Girl Youtube workouts and yoga stretches using the Down Dog app.
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 BP workout alternating cardio & weights, those are my favorites – plus a nice stretch.
Day 06-01/06
Day 07-01/07--
WEEK 1 LOSS OR GAIN 1.2 pound gain
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.2 pound gain
Day 08-01/08: 185.4 – Just did a BG 30 min tabata cardio / standing abs workout plus 20 min yoga stretch , and I’m definitely feeling the difference being able to go deeper into stretches as my belly slowly gets out of my way. I did some yummy food prep yesterday – made rainbow salad for DH’s lunches, then a cauliflower rice / mushroom “risotto” with chopped broccoli for my dinners that is so delicious I’ve been making it the past 3 weeks, I am obsessed! And also made a version of turkey chili that is 90% veggies and is now going to go into my rotation for lunches, I was almost shocked it came out so well. Both are big hearty servings with just over 200 calories each…ready for the week!
Day 09-01/09: 183.4 – ok, back to pre-holiday weight. Time to break new ground! Did a BG 20 min strength workout and 10 min yoga stretch – enough to calm down the stress and anxiety I have over a situation with my daughter…so hard to figure out how to help adult children struggling with mental health issues, and then I’m stressed because I feel like I’m falling behind at work trying to help…think I have at least an initial solution though so time to get on with my day.
Day 10-01/10: 183.6 – Do you ever wake up and just “feel” skinnier? Like you can suck your stomach in and it makes a difference? Ha ha -that’s how I was feeling this morning, and did a slightly higher intensity 30 min BG kickboxing/standing abs workout and a 15 min yoga stretch. I swear the yoga app (Down Dog) seems to know what I need to stretch, as my thighs were a little sore from all the squats yesterday and today’s stretch really worked them out – while yesterday I needed more upper body and it was right on track again! Because I was feeling skinny I took my measurements today – it’s been a month since the last time, and once again I was measuring over and over bc I couldn’t believe I lost an inch and a half on my hips, and half inch from my waist!! These numbers are getting down to ones I haven’t seen in close to 5 years, it’s really exciting!! I have a journal I started last January with weights & measurements, so I’m just re-using those same calendars for my new entries…seeing the old numbers amid the new is a stark reminder to see how far I’ve come, and to never go back!!!
Day 11-01/11: 182.0 – Hurray! Finally into new territory after the holidays – this also is officially 45 pounds down for me! Five more pounds till my first goal (that I’ve had for at least 5 years and never made .) Did a nice 25 min BG tabata workout and 15 min stretch.
Day 12-01/12: 182.0 – this will be my final weight of the week, since I don’t weigh on weekends. Happy with this result!
Day 13-01/13: skipped – today will do a pool workout with the hubby, food shopping and food prep. I am going to do the exact same food prep as last week because it was delicious!! Also I tend to go in phases, eating one meal for a long while and then transitioning to something else…for now I am loving my (mostly veggie) turkey chili, and my “faux” mushroom risotto with cauliflower rice. My freezer is still stocked with Eggroll in a Bowl and turkey zucchini noodle soup so I am in good shape!!
Day 14-01/14: skipped
WEEK 2 LOSS OR GAIN - 2.6 pound loss
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 1.4 pound loss
Day 15-01/15: skipped, went out to a local brewery with the husband, drank wine, ate fried food and got into a big fight…such a bummer! And the fight continued through the rest of the day…
Day 16-01/16: skipped – and then even after we sort of made up in the morning I continued the pity party the whole next day, deciding that bingeing was the perfect partner to wallowing in sadness and depression…
Day 17-01/17: skipped – thankfully I woke up this morning determined not to let all my hard work slip away. I did a great workout/stretch and got back on track with my food choices, drinking tons of water…man oh man, that binge monster is always lurking, ready to pounce! But I know as long as I don’t let it turn into weeks I can right the ship fairly quickly. We’ll see if it results in a gain for the week…work has been a little nuts so my routine is all screwed up! But at least the husband and I are back to normal.
Day 18-01/18: 184.2 - to be expected. Hopefully will get a dip down tomorrow so I don't have to end the week with an accumulated gain, fingers crossed I at least hit my original start weight...I really need to buckle down. I've made great progress and I have to be really careful not to allow myself to begin unraveling it!
Day 19-01/19: 182.8 – ok, I’ll take it! A gain for the week but at least still an accumulated loss. I tried a new workout this morning – getfitwithrick on youtube – there was a 30 minute body combat one that caught my eye, I used to LOVE body combat I find it so motivating! But it did solidify that I prefer workouts without commentary (like my usual burpeegirl on youtube) –he has some no commentary music-only ones that maybe I’ll give a try when I feel the need to mix things up. I find I am so curmudgeonly in my old age and hate the constant chatter and laughing at their own jokes that most videos have! Bah humbug! Ha ha

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 19-01/19-DNW-(Trend weight DNW) Today is no-weigh Friday. Such cold freezing temps this morning to have to get DGS to the bus stop. It is just to the end of the block but we will drive. Taking my Fosamax with water while I get him ready since I have an hour for the process of that medication. Back to bed and then I will post later. Today he has ½ day because it’s the end of the marking period so I will meet the bus at about 12;10. The snack monster continues to chase me, but meals have been clean. I tried Zumba yesterday and stopped after about 15 minutes. I felt like an uncoordinated bumbling fool. And it’s not for the faint of heart either! Wow it’s different as you age and when you are out of shape! This seems much easier than the Richard Simmons I did years ago in the 80's. But that was 40 years ago so I guess I get it. I will try several different Zumba videos though and fit in into my rotation for a bit and see if my body can come around. I am looking to shake it up a bit.

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
Week 2 Goal: Didn't put one this week
Week 2 actual weight: 145.0 - started the week at 145.8
Day 15-01/15 - 145.4 - Rushing this morning. 2 jobs today and tomorrow
Day 16-01/16 - 145.4 - Didn't get to eat at (or before) my primary job (restaurant) because it was extremely busy. I always take lots of food there, portable stuff to eat throughout my shift: apple, banana, berries, rice cakes and nut butter, instant oatmeal etc. I just didn't get a chance. Ate a bit running home to change uniforms for my second job which is a non-stop job. I just have to get through the 2 jobs today, then only one job for 3 days then...I swapped some shifts so that I can have a mini getaway up to the Snowflake Festival/Bonspiel on the Lake at Invermere BC. Leaving straight from my primary job on Friday, I plan to have the car packed : - )
Day 17-01/17 - 144.6 - Ate more calories yesterday, a whole sandwich instead of my usual half in between jobs (which made me late by 2 minutes for my second job). 1450 calories yesterday and I lost weight. Another hmmm. I have lots to do before I go away. Finally snowing here, so I will be shoveling before work, my fave thing to do. It will be a happy day by getting it started that way, and not having to go to the second job.
Day 18-01/18 - 146.0 - Ouch. Really active day, shoveling a few times, workouts, walking (at work). Hate to see a jump up in weight of course.
Day 19-01/19 - 144.8 - I guess all of Wednesday's shoveling finally was refected on the scale this morning : - )
Late getting it together, but leaving shortly. I will take lots of photos. I won't be posting to the forum tomorrow. Have a great weekend everybody : - )
Day 20-01/20 -

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.

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].

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).

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!

Maz 2024, that's weird how your scale displays weights / fractions. Does it have anything on the back that allows you to change the display to decimals rather than numeric? Can you exchange it for a different one?
Week 3:
Day 15-01/15: 176.2 WW 30/23 Worked. Only squats & heel raises.
Day 16-01/16: 176.4 ☹ WW 26/23 pts. Worked. No additional exercise.
Day 17-01/17: 174.4 😊 WW 22/23 pts. Cleared snow from yard etc 2 hrs. Then retreated downstairs to sit infront of wood fire. Hoping I have a workable revised eating/food pattern.
Day 18-01/18: 172.8 WW 33/23 pts. Cold out so stayed inside reading. Hope to get out for walk etc tomorrow. Tough day, couldn’t stop grazing for food, none of my usuals satisfied.
Day 19-01/19: 174.4 Will be so glad when these cold temperatures are in the past; not a great fan of winter. But on the other hand, "yeah it's snowing a bit' because I get to clear the yard and driveway again later today ... the only winter exercise I like.
