    Week 7 Goal: 230 (-20#)
    Week 7 actual weight:

    I had an appointment with an RD this week to get insight on diet reccs. My vitamin D level is always too low (which is common for people who are overweight since it’s a fat soluble vitamin). The problem is that I don’t really like eggs, milk, or fish (the biggest sources of the vitamin in most diets). I also work nights, so I don’t get as much sun exposure as the average Joe either. ☀️ For as long as I can remember, whenever I have my levels tested I’m always pretty significantly below the recommendations. One of my biggest health goals for weight loss is to finally have a normal vitamin D level and to not have to be constantly worrying about taking huge doses of prescription strength vitamin D to catch up. The good news is that the RD yesterday had some great recommendations that I hadn’t considered before so I will try those once in done with my current megadose and see if I can reach AND stay at a somewhat normal level in the next few months. 🤞🏻

    Day 5 clean eating complete.
    I think I'm over the detox period. Today was easy peasy, no cravings and didn't look twice at unhealthy food around me.
    Glad to see my weight adjusted after yesterday's chaos.


    Day 44-02/13-- 184.7
    Day 6 clean eating with many challenges along the way as I was out of the house with many temptations 😀
    Weigh in was 4 hours early so I'm not concerned with higher number.
    I need to prepare for granddaughter 10yr coming out this weekend 🥺

    Day 45-02/14-- 184.0
    Day 7 clean eating. 😀 I'm not craving junk, but am getting bored with the same foods already. Time to find some new recipes.....

    Day 46-02/15-- 184.0
    Day 8 clean eating 😀 Chia seed pudding with kefir pm snack last night not a good idea. Very bloated today.
    Had Mexican today for our belated Valentine's lunch, ordered healthy but no way to avoid the sodium. Let's see what happens tomorrow????
    Day 47-02/16-- 184.7
    Day 9 clean eating 😀 well looks like the sodium took a little toll. Avoided many fast food obstacles today, wanted to stop at everyone, and don't forget the delicious smelling fish Fry's 😜

    Day 48-02/17-- 185.1
    Day 10 clean eating 😀
    Trying not to let the scale get me down. Having bathroom issues since eating chia seeds. I'm sure it will all work itself out. My clothes are fitting better and I feel stronger, so I will keep moving forward.

    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 over celebrating 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?

    Day 20-01/20-- 70 kg.

    Day 21-01/21-- 69 kg. Weather has been super hot and I think I may have eaten something that's gone a bit off - been feeling unwell for the last 24 hours.

    Week 3 Goal: 68.5 kg.
    Week 3 actual weight: 69 kg. As Scarlett O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day."

    Day 22-01/22-- 68.5 kg.

    Day 23-01/23-- 68.7 kg.

    Day 24-01/24-- 68.4 kg. I was given a fruit cake today - a whole 500 grams (over a pound). I try very hard not to buy sweets and baked goods or keep them in the house, but free food is fair game..... I ate it all in 2 hours ..... I'm thinking with Lent approaching I need to give it up completely - at least for long enough for my taste to change.

    Day 25-01/25-- 68 kg.

    Day 26-01/26-- 67.9 kg.

    Day 27-01/27-- DNW

    Day 28-01/28-- 68 kg. Made it!

    Week 4 Goal: 68.5 kg.
    Week 4 actual weight: 68 kg. 4 weeks, 2 kg down.

    Day 29-01/29-- 69 kg. Note to self - do not celebrate weight loss with toasted cheese.

    Day 30-01/30-- 70 kg. Another note to self - just because fruit mince tarts are reduced price after Christmas, doesn't mean there are less calories. You're not "saving" money, either - you're spending it!

    Day 31-01/31-- 69.8 kg.

    Day 32-02/01-- 69 kg. Easy come, easy go.

    Day 33-02/02-- 68.8 kg.

    Day 34-02/03-- 69.8 kg. What witchcraft hath possessed my scale? Oh right - I'm the one polishing off the goodies before Lent.

    Day 35-02/04-- 69 kg.

    Week 5 Goal: 68 kg.
    Week 5 actual weight: 69 kg. Only 1 kg lost in 5 weeks? Need to keep my eye on the ball.


    Day 36-02/05-- 68.8 kg. 64 days to lose 3.8 kg - around 60 grams per day.

    Day 37-02/06-- 68.5 kg. I am the only person who controls what goes into my mouth.

    Day 38-02/07-- 68.1 kg. Stay focused. Stay strong.

    Day 39-02/08-- 68.7 kg. I luuurve avocadoes and they are said to be very good for you, but oh my Lord, the calories!

    Day 40-02/09-- 70 kg. Yikes!

    Day 41-02/10-- 69 kg.

    Day 42-02/11-- 70 kg. Even footling around with cheat meals. Lent starts on Wed, and I am absolutely resolute on giving up sugar. (Yes, I know the primary aim is not to lose weight, but the self discipline will hopefully have a positive side effect.)

    Week 6 Goal: 68 kg.
    Week 6 actual weight: 70 kg. Epic fail. 6 weeks gone - and I'm back to starting weight.


    Day 43-02/12-- 69 kg.

    Day 44-02/13-- DNW. Pancakes galore! With bananas and chocolate sauce! Will repent tomorrow.

    Day 45-02/14-- 69 kg. Today is both Ash Wednesday and St Valentine's Day.
    Roses are red, violets are blue:
    Lent is beginning - no chocolate for you.

    Day 46-02/15-- 68 kg

    Day 47-02/16-- 67.9 kg. Per MFP this day deficit, I will weigh 65.4 in 5 weeks. Hope and pray!

    Day 48-02/17-- 68.1 kg. So close!

    Day 49-02/18-- 67.9 kg. Darn chocolate buttons,

    Week 7 Goal: 68 kg.
    Week 7 actual weight: 67.9. Try to find myself some non-food reward for coming in under goal.

    Hello,
    My name is Stephanie, I’m 34, and I’m from California. I am 5’7” and 250 lbs. Ideally I would like to get to around 150-155 lbs. (which would make me a normal BMI for my height) by the end of 2024. For this challenge, my goal is to lose 30 pounds since that’s about 2 pounds per week.
