100 day challenge #18 Monday January 1st – Tuesday April 9th 2024

tinathescreamer · April 2

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.

Day 50-02/19-- 67.5 kg. Halfway thru the Challenge and Halfway to Goal!

Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) or 50 grams per day.

Day 51-02/20-- 68.1 kg.

Day 52-02/21-- 67.9 kg.

Day 53-02/22-- 67.8 kg.

Day 54-02/23-- 68 kg.

Day 55-02/24-- 69 kg. Back on a bread binge.

Day 56-02/25-- 68 kg. Le sigh.

Week 8 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 8 actual weight: 68 kg. Well, at least it's not more than I weighed 7 days ago.

Day 57-02/26-- 67.5 kg. Have lost 18 (39.6 lb) kg in just over 10 months. Also down 32.5 kg (71.5 lb) since my highest weight - just after first lockdown, so nearly 4 years ago.

Day 58-02/27-- 67.6 kg.

Day 59-02/28-- DNW

Day 60-02/29-- 67.3 kg. ......Ithinkicanithinkicanithinkican.....

Day 61-03/01-- 67.2 kg. Last time I weighed this much/little was well over 20 years ago. Think I was living in another city in 2001? 2002? I was still doing karate then. Maybe I should look into Aikido, which is a softer martial art, or Tai Chi? I know one of the nearby church halls has a falls prevention exercise program for seniors which includes some Tai Chi.

Day 62-03/02-- 67 kg. Waist 30 inches. Hips 39 inches. I'd like to lose a little more round the waist, mostly because I'm concerned about visceral fat - but I'm too old to regain the hourglass figure I had at 22!

Day 63-03/03-- 67 kg.

Week 9 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 9 actual weight: 67 kg. Only 2 kg to lose over the next 5 weeks!

Day 64-03/04-- DNW

Day 65-03/05-- 67.5 kg.

Day 66-03/06-- 67.2 kg. Somewhat surprised at the loss as there was no restraint yesterday. Dear Universe, please stop sending cheese my way. If it's in the fridge it begs to be eaten - oh, that's right. I'm the one what bought it and placed it in the fridge.....

Day 67-03/07-- 68.1 kg. Need to lose 100 g per day for the rest of the Challenge to meet my goal.

Day 68-03/08-- 67.9 kg.

Day 69-03/09-- 68 kg. How come I'm putting on weight in Lent? Well.... tonight was the Spencer-Smith (chaplain on Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition 1914-17. Buried in the ice) Memorial Mass and Lecture, with unveiling of the new stained glass window. Followed by Big Supper - more than a few of us forgot we are supposed to be fasting....

Day 70-03/10-- 67 kg. It is what it is......nevertheless, she persisted.

Week 10 Goal: 66.5 kg.
Week 10 actual weight: 67 kg.

Day 71-03/11-- 66.9 kg. Forecast for the next few days is not great, don't know how much outdoor exercise I'll get. May have to do some dancing to You Tube videos or something to burn up the calories - keeping below limit will be a challenge otherwise.

Day 72-03/12-- 67 kg.

Day 73-03/13-- 66.7 kg. Back at the lowest weight I've been since back on 11/18 last year, before realising my scale was inaccurate. So really I have lost 23.8 kg (over 52 lb) in just under a year. Go me!

Day 74-03/14-- 66.5 kg. Hang on for Just.A.Little.Longer.

Day 75-03/15-- 66.2 kg. So Close to my Final Goal! Just 1.2 kg (2.64 lbs) and 25 days to go!

Day 76-03/16-- 66.1 kg.

Day 77-03/17-- 66.5 kg.

Week 11 Goal: 66.5 kg.
Week 11 actual weight: 66.5 kg. Yay!

Day 78-03/18-- 66.1 kg. Used an online body fat calculator that used my measurements to tell me I am 31% fat. I realise this is only an approximation and I should get it measured more accurately, but I am not happy with that amount of visceral fat still around my organs - it's deemed "normal" at my age, but what is considered "normal" isn't always healthy, at least in one's 60s. As a senior, a certain amount of allowance for degeneration sneaks in. I would like to get to 25% body fat, so I'm looking to build up some muscle, and I think I will lower my ultimate goal to 60 kg. Another 100 Day Challenge coming up!!??

Day 79-03/19-- 66 kg.

Day 80-03/20-- 65.9 kg.

Day 81-03/21-- 66.1 kg.

Day 82-03/22-- 66.2 kg.

Day 83-03/23-- 66.4 kg.

Day 84-03/24-- 66 kg. I will confess - a fair few no noes have crept into my Lenten fasting. I blame the supermarkets for beginning to stock Easter eggs at the end of January. (Seriously, they were on the shelf before St Valentine's Day.)

Week 12 Goal: 66 kg.
Week 12 actual weight: 66 kg. Just 16 days to shed those final 1000 grams (35.2 ounces). Does it make it easier or sound more impressive if I quote a larger number?

Day 85-03/25-- 66.1 kg. My wrist is playing up which prevents me from doing much knitting which usually helps me cut back on hand to mouth snacking - cos who wants greasy fingermarks on their fabric? plus I have to get to the end of the row before I wander into the kitchen to see what's in the fridge..... I went out three separate times for a walk today to keep me out of harm's way..... and wound up having tea and a bacon sandwich at a cafe! Next time Do,Not.Take.Debit.Card.

Day 86-03/26-- DNW

Day 87-03/27-- 66.2 kg.

Day 88-03/28-- 65.5 kg.

Day 89-03/29-- 65.2 kg. Today is the 366th day I have logged into MFP to track my food - a whole year complete with Leap Day. I have lost 20.3 kg (44.66 lb) not including the 5 kg when the scale was wrong. And my BMI is down to 22 - right slap in the middle of the healthy (or at least reduced risk) range. I call that a success. Would like to lose a little more, but not too worried if I don't hit 65 kg exactly - just hope to maintain.

Day 90-03/30-- 65.1 kg. There was feasting - with wine! - galore after the Great Vigil tonight. Actually I was very restrained, because oddly I wasn't really hungry. People who fast regularly tell me the body gets used to it and loses the sense of hunger after a while. I only ate two egg sandwiches and a marzipan rabbit. And half a glass of red wine, which still made my head buzz a bit, so I left the celebration early. I'm hoping there's not much impact on the scale tomorrow.

Day 91-03/31-- 65 kg! Hit my goal!

Week 13 Goal: 65.5 kg.
Week 13 actual weight: 65 kg. Yes!

Day 92-04/01-- 65 kg. Readjusted my settings so I will be losing 0.25 kg per week. Allowed calorie intake is up to 1380 per day, before doing exercise (which increases appetite and allowed calorie intake.)

Day 93-04/02-- 65.1 kg.

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

Week 3 Goal: 143.4
Week 3 actual weight: 144.8

Week 4 Goal: 143.8
Week 4 actual weight: 144.6 - Used Saturday's weight

Week 5 Goal: 143.8 - Just putting this number in until I hit it
Week 5 actual weight: 144.8 - started the week at 145.6

Week 6 Goal: 143.8 - Just putting this number in until I hit it
Week 6 actual weight: 144.4 - Started the week at 144.0

Day 50-02/19 - 143.4 - Wow, somehow dropped a pound!! That has made my day! I have been working at this for so many years, and have almost felt like giving up because it seems like I just don't lose any weight no matter how "good" I am. This loss will motivate me to keep on keeping on : - )

Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.2

Week 8 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it
Week 8 actual weight: 145.8 - started the week at 143.0

Week 9 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it. Seems a bit unrealistic at this point
Week 9 actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week (and the 100) at 145.6

Week 10 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it.
Week 10 actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week at 144.4

Week 11 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it.
Week 11 actual weight: 146.8 - Started the week at 144.4

Week 12 Goal: anything less than my start weight of the 100 would be welcome.
Week 12 actual weight: 146.8 - started the week at 147.2

Week 13 Goal: 143.2
Week 13 actual weight: 147.6 - started the week at 146.4

Day 92-04/01 - 146.8 - New week. May have avoided a giant gain from Ribs by fasting during the day before eating them. Really going to do everything I can to drop the 1.2 to get back to my start weight of this 100

Day 93-04/02 - 148.4 - Yikes!! Up almost 2 pounds overnight. Ribs finally kicking in? Sunday and Monday were on point. I weighed that in January of 2020 and lost 7.3 more pounds that year up until September, where I weighed 141.1 on my 60th birthday. Trying to not let today's weight bother me too much. The halfway point of the 100 looked promising. I don't want to fight my body, but I feel like I have to.

Day 94-04/03 -

Day 95-04/04 -

Day 96-04/05 -

Day 97-04/06 -

Day 98-04/07 -

Week 14 Goal: Oh my, really running out of time! I guess that I just want to be a little less than the start of this 100
Week 14 actual weight:

Day 100-04/09…..(Final Weigh- In)-

@dawnbgethealthy Yes, the ribs for sure. It's difficult to gain 2 lbs of actual fat overnight. I'm sure it will settle back down in a couple of days. You've seen mine jump way up after a restaurant meal, then settle back down within 24 to 48 hours so no real damage is done and I've enjoyed my outing. In the long run, it makes getting to goal take a little longer while we wait out these delays, but it doesn't stop the journey or cause any real or lasting damage. For me, that's okay. I want to enjoy life too....

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ January 1st thru April 9th, 2024

“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 183.8
Goal This Round: 171.8
Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

Round #15---194.0
Round #16---188.0
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.

tinathescreamer · April 3

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.

Day 50-02/19-- 67.5 kg. Halfway thru the Challenge and Halfway to Goal!

Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) or 50 grams per day.

Day 51-02/20-- 68.1 kg.

Day 52-02/21-- 67.9 kg.

Day 53-02/22-- 67.8 kg.

Day 54-02/23-- 68 kg.

Day 55-02/24-- 69 kg. Back on a bread binge.

Day 56-02/25-- 68 kg. Le sigh.

Week 8 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 8 actual weight: 68 kg. Well, at least it's not more than I weighed 7 days ago.

Day 57-02/26-- 67.5 kg. Have lost 18 (39.6 lb) kg in just over 10 months. Also down 32.5 kg (71.5 lb) since my highest weight - just after first lockdown, so nearly 4 years ago.

Day 58-02/27-- 67.6 kg.

Day 59-02/28-- DNW

Day 60-02/29-- 67.3 kg. ......Ithinkicanithinkicanithinkican.....

Day 61-03/01-- 67.2 kg. Last time I weighed this much/little was well over 20 years ago. Think I was living in another city in 2001? 2002? I was still doing karate then. Maybe I should look into Aikido, which is a softer martial art, or Tai Chi? I know one of the nearby church halls has a falls prevention exercise program for seniors which includes some Tai Chi.

Day 62-03/02-- 67 kg. Waist 30 inches. Hips 39 inches. I'd like to lose a little more round the waist, mostly because I'm concerned about visceral fat - but I'm too old to regain the hourglass figure I had at 22!

Day 63-03/03-- 67 kg.

Week 9 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 9 actual weight: 67 kg. Only 2 kg to lose over the next 5 weeks!

Day 64-03/04-- DNW

Day 65-03/05-- 67.5 kg.

Day 66-03/06-- 67.2 kg. Somewhat surprised at the loss as there was no restraint yesterday. Dear Universe, please stop sending cheese my way. If it's in the fridge it begs to be eaten - oh, that's right. I'm the one what bought it and placed it in the fridge.....

Day 67-03/07-- 68.1 kg. Need to lose 100 g per day for the rest of the Challenge to meet my goal.

Day 68-03/08-- 67.9 kg.

Day 69-03/09-- 68 kg. How come I'm putting on weight in Lent? Well.... tonight was the Spencer-Smith (chaplain on Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition 1914-17. Buried in the ice) Memorial Mass and Lecture, with unveiling of the new stained glass window. Followed by Big Supper - more than a few of us forgot we are supposed to be fasting....

Day 70-03/10-- 67 kg. It is what it is......nevertheless, she persisted.

Week 10 Goal: 66.5 kg.
Week 10 actual weight: 67 kg.

Day 71-03/11-- 66.9 kg. Forecast for the next few days is not great, don't know how much outdoor exercise I'll get. May have to do some dancing to You Tube videos or something to burn up the calories - keeping below limit will be a challenge otherwise.

Day 72-03/12-- 67 kg.

Day 73-03/13-- 66.7 kg. Back at the lowest weight I've been since back on 11/18 last year, before realising my scale was inaccurate. So really I have lost 23.8 kg (over 52 lb) in just under a year. Go me!

Day 74-03/14-- 66.5 kg. Hang on for Just.A.Little.Longer.

Day 75-03/15-- 66.2 kg. So Close to my Final Goal! Just 1.2 kg (2.64 lbs) and 25 days to go!

Day 76-03/16-- 66.1 kg.

Day 77-03/17-- 66.5 kg.

Week 11 Goal: 66.5 kg.
Week 11 actual weight: 66.5 kg. Yay!

Day 78-03/18-- 66.1 kg. Used an online body fat calculator that used my measurements to tell me I am 31% fat. I realise this is only an approximation and I should get it measured more accurately, but I am not happy with that amount of visceral fat still around my organs - it's deemed "normal" at my age, but what is considered "normal" isn't always healthy, at least in one's 60s. As a senior, a certain amount of allowance for degeneration sneaks in. I would like to get to 25% body fat, so I'm looking to build up some muscle, and I think I will lower my ultimate goal to 60 kg. Another 100 Day Challenge coming up!!??

Day 79-03/19-- 66 kg.

Day 80-03/20-- 65.9 kg.

Day 81-03/21-- 66.1 kg.

Day 82-03/22-- 66.2 kg.

Day 83-03/23-- 66.4 kg.

Day 84-03/24-- 66 kg. I will confess - a fair few no noes have crept into my Lenten fasting. I blame the supermarkets for beginning to stock Easter eggs at the end of January. (Seriously, they were on the shelf before St Valentine's Day.)

Week 12 Goal: 66 kg.
Week 12 actual weight: 66 kg. Just 16 days to shed those final 1000 grams (35.2 ounces). Does it make it easier or sound more impressive if I quote a larger number?

Day 85-03/25-- 66.1 kg. My wrist is playing up which prevents me from doing much knitting which usually helps me cut back on hand to mouth snacking - cos who wants greasy fingermarks on their fabric? plus I have to get to the end of the row before I wander into the kitchen to see what's in the fridge..... I went out three separate times for a walk today to keep me out of harm's way..... and wound up having tea and a bacon sandwich at a cafe! Next time Do,Not.Take.Debit.Card.

Day 86-03/26-- DNW

Day 87-03/27-- 66.2 kg.

Day 88-03/28-- 65.5 kg.

Day 89-03/29-- 65.2 kg. Today is the 366th day I have logged into MFP to track my food - a whole year complete with Leap Day. I have lost 20.3 kg (44.66 lb) not including the 5 kg when the scale was wrong. And my BMI is down to 22 - right slap in the middle of the healthy (or at least reduced risk) range. I call that a success. Would like to lose a little more, but not too worried if I don't hit 65 kg exactly - just hope to maintain.

Day 90-03/30-- 65.1 kg. There was feasting - with wine! - galore after the Great Vigil tonight. Actually I was very restrained, because oddly I wasn't really hungry. People who fast regularly tell me the body gets used to it and loses the sense of hunger after a while. I only ate two egg sandwiches and a marzipan rabbit. And half a glass of red wine, which still made my head buzz a bit, so I left the celebration early. I'm hoping there's not much impact on the scale tomorrow.

Day 91-03/31-- 65 kg! Hit my goal!

Week 13 Goal: 65.5 kg.
Week 13 actual weight: 65 kg. Yes!

Day 92-04/01-- 65 kg. Readjusted my settings so I will be losing 0.25 kg per week. Allowed calorie intake is up to 1380 per day, before doing exercise (which increases appetite and allowed calorie intake.)

Day 93-04/02-- 65.1 kg.

Day 94-04/03--64.7 kg.

Day 93-04/02--75.8kg not hungry thankfully, but bloated , feel periody even though I finished last week, didn't eat much yesterday in the end as after hungar abated I just felt normal.

Day 94-04/03--75.5kg feel much better today. Just realised I'm not going to be able to weigh in the last two days as I'm away. Going to see the Dutch bulbs with Mum,coach trip around Amsterdam ,whoop whoop!

jennysweet58 · April 3

Hi I'm Jenny from the Bronx, NY - 59 years old, 5' 6", and have struggled my whole life with food. 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 – and then 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…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!

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

Day 20-01/20--

Day 21-01/21--

WEEK 3 LOSS OR GAIN : 0.8 gain
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 0.6 loss

Day 22-01/22: 183.4 – a smaller than expected bump up from the weekend, and I have that “skinny & fit” feeling this morning, so I have a good feeling about getting a good loss this week and finally getting past that holiday hump! Did a 30 min BG kickboxing/abs workout and a great yoga stretch. I tried on a dress I bought during a trip to New Orleans in February 2020, right before the world stopped – it was a little small for me then but I was “sure” I’d lose weight and would be able to wear it that summer…well, we all know the end to that story don’t we? The tags are still on that dress, and something made me try it on this morning – and it fit! It’s a wrap dress so will look better if I’m a little smaller but I could wear that damn thing tomorrow if I wanted to! (But I won’t because it’s very low cut and summery, ha ha) I made a couple of new soups this weekend for lunches – a spicy cabbage & turkey sausage and an Italian wedding soup using 99% FF ground turkey for the meatballs. The 99% FF works well for the ‘faux’ turkey sausage in the first one but not so great in meatballs, they need more fat – but till ok. It’s fun to try new recipes but both of these I had to doctor up a lot because they needed much more spices than the recipe called for…so I feel kind of “meh” about them both but it’s good to switch up my lunches in any case! I have an Asian Mushroom soup I want to make too (this one I know I like) but I have to make room in my freezer, I got a little too ambitious with all my food prep this weekend!

Day 23-01/23: 182.6 – That’s right scale, keep it moving…let’s get rid of this weekend water weight and see where we are tomorrow! I was feeling energized this morning and did a longer than usual BG metabolic cardio/weights workout, though was careful to modify when needed. I love these kind of workouts with the lighter weights and compound moves, they remind me of the old-school “Firm” videos I used to love. I’m so conscious these days of feeling fit, strong and flexible (I mean in comparison to where I was a year ago- not that I’m ripped or anything ha ha). It’s kind of freeing as I get older to simply focus on health and function (my bikini days are long gone) and after spending the past few years hobbled by multiple injuries (made worse by my own unhealthy eating and lack of exercise) it feels so amazing to be able to MOVE.

Day 24-01/24: 181.0 – ok well that was lower than expected!! If that holds till the end of the week I’ll be thrilled! Did a BG cardio/body weight toning tabata workout & yoga stretch, and ready to make today a good one!

Day 25-01/25: 180.8 – very happy yesterday’s number wasn’t a fluke! Had a great BG metabolic cardio/weights workout & yoga stretch. I’ve also been enjoying my Italian Wedding Soup for lunches more than I thought I would! One thing I like about making my own is that I can control the salt and also have a gigantic serving size, which helps my brain feel “fed.” It would probably be better to train my brain not to feel deprived at a smaller serving size, but one thing at a time!

Day 26-01/26: 180.2 – So close to a new decade! But it will have to wait until next week, as this is my final weigh-in for this week and I expect a bump up after the weekend. But I feel accomplished, calm and happy about having a solid week with good progress, finally shaking off that holiday yo yoing! Did a sweaty BG HIIT tabata workout this morning, I really love those short 20 second intervals…no time to get bored!

WEEK 4 LOSS OR GAIN: 2.6 pounds lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 3.2 pounds lost

Day 29-01/29: 182.0 – to be expected after a more-indulgent-than-usual weekend with football food yesterday…I made 2 ingredient pretzel bites (just self-rising flour and nonfat greek yogurt, and dipped in a melty Laughing Cow cheddar triangle - they taste so good! But I had way too many) and also turkey burger sliders and air-fryed French fries. So. Darn. Yum. Back to weekday strictness! I still expect to break into a new decade this week, let’s see how it goes. I prepped some spicy Asian Mushroom Soup for lunches and did a variation of my cauliflower rice/mushroom risotto adding some “faux” turkey sausage (99%FF ground turkey with spices) to the mix. I also have spaghetti squash /spiralized zucchini for some “pasta” dinners with boca crumbles - like a faux Bolognese. So many “fauxs” ha ha! But it’s all tasty to me, and saves more calories for my true love, the grated pecorino romano cheese. That’s all I need to be happy.  This morning I did a BG kickboxing workout with 1 pound cardio gloves, and a good stretch. On to a new week!

Day 30-01/30: 181.0 – on my way down…hopefully will break new ground by Thursday? Did a cardio/weights workout & yoga stretch, feeling strong.

Day 31-01/31: 179.8 – AHHHH! New low, new decade – less than 5 pounds away from my original goal!! I definitely will want to go 10 lower than that but am going to pause and celebrate the first one for sure!!! It’s my reward for sticking to my guns and getting a quick workout & stretch in this morning even though work is breathing down my neck.

Day 32-02/01: 180.4 – The scale is toying with me! But the good news is I tried on a pair of jeans I haven’t worn in 4 years, and they fit like a glove!! We’re seeing friends I haven’t seen in a long time, so it will feel good to sport them tomorrow!

Day 33-02/02: 179.2 – ok then, back into the new decade and can record a loss for the week!

Day 34-02/03: Happy Birthday to me! Last year of the 50’s…DH and I went to dinner with friends we haven’t seen in close to 3 years, so it was really fun to reconnect and wear my “new”old jeans! I saw a journal entry from this time last year (journaling was one of the many things I tried that didn’t stick) and I thought I’d share:

To my Future Self…who will you be?
My future self is relaxed.
My future self is wearing clothes I haven’t worn in years.
My future self is sleeping wonderfully!
My future self feels free.
My future self exists in a space where I am not “on” or “off” – not failing or succeeding – I am simply healthy most of the time and not worrying about the rest.

And guess what? I AM THAT FUTURE SELF! Well…Still working on the last one a little bit but what a great feeling to start my birthday!  Thank you for this challenge, it really has helped me get to this place I secretly didn’t think I would ever actually achieve.

WEEK 5 LOSS OR GAIN: 1 pound lost
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 4.2 pounds lost

Day 36-02/05: skipped, but back on track after an indulgent birthday weekend – did tabata cardo & ypga stretch

Day 37-02/0: skipped, work is insane – did cardio/ weights &yoga stretch.

Day 38-02/07: 179.6 – glad to see my indulgent weekend weight is almost gone! Did a nice 30 minute cardio kickboxing workout & yoga stretch.

Day 39-02/08: 178.0 – well I was hoping for a drop, but this is unexpected - especially after I ate my way through the weekend! Let’s see if it holds up through tomorrow. Did a strength tabata & yoga stretch, feeling really strong. I was walking this morning and suddenly became aware of how grateful I was that I could tighten my core…might sound weird but the past few years I haven’t felt muscle control in my abdomen because I was so heavy, so it makes me exceedingly happy to feel strong abs going on!

Day 46-02/15: 176.6 – This has been a crazy work week, compounded by heavy wet snow on Tuesday that took me 90 minutes to shovel and really strained my arms – so took a rest day yesterday and did a cardio tabata workout & stretch this morning. I was thrilled to see the number on the scale, that makes it officially 50 pounds down for me – 50.4 to be exact! It felt so good to stretch today, and I am really starting to see a difference in my body. You’d think after 50 pounds it wouldn’t feel so subtle but my brain does things to my perception when I look in the mirror – when I’m heavy I often don’t think I look as heavy in the mirror as I do in photos, and when I’m lighter I tend to still perceive myself as heavy. Weird! But a good reason to take photos once a month – seeing them side by side is undeniable proof of progress!

Day 47-02/16: 176.6 – did another tabata workout and stretch (since I’m still letting my poor biceps rest from the shoveling,) and I am DRAGGING today…it will be nice to have the long weekend to relax!

Day 60-02/29: 176.6 – Sorry I’ve been MIA the last couple of weeks – I had Moh’s surgery on my nose last week to remove a basal cell cancer recurrence – so workouts have had to be minimal while it heals and I may have been indulging in a fair amount of pity eating! But thankfully my strict weekdays seemed to have saved me from a gain, which is really good news for just continuing this way of eating for maintenance. I’m very close to my goal of 175, but for now I’m going to give myself some grace to simply maintain.

WEEK 9 LOSS OR GAIN: 0
Accumulated Loss or Gain: 6.8 lost

Day 64-03/04: DNW- Yesterday I went through my closet, putting aside clothes that are too big now and trying on clothes to see what should get a place back on a hanger again…and with the exception of a couple of pairs of jeans and one dress, EVERYTHING FIT. I think I may have donated all my size 12 and under clothing figuring if I ever lost weight again, I’d never get down to those sizes again…which may or may not be true, but for now I am thrilled to be comfortably back in my size 14 jeans, and able to wear a couple of dresses in my closet that I’ve never worn once! So it was a happy day for NSV’s. It was a beautiful warm sunny day here yesterday, so after my closet fun DH and I went for a walk on the beach and then out to lunch. The radiator has been working 2 days in a row now, so hopefully we’re out of the woods there? So lots of positive energy heading into the week! Back to strictness today, and I think my poor nose can handle a longer workout at this point since I get the bandages off on Wednesday. But I’ll keep it moderate…hope everyone is doing well!

Day 65-03/05: DNW

Day 66-03/06: 176.2 – got the bandages off on my nose today- was disappointed to see that they didn’t replace the old skin graft from the previous Moh’s surgery, but only created a new skin graft where the recurrence happened…so now I have two interlocking circles on my nose. I guess it was unrealistic to expect a full new nose…but it’s kind of a bummer. I had a mild pity party with a couple of glasses of wine and some spicy lentil chips…shared the bag with my daughter to minimize the damage.

Day 67-03/07: 175.0 – GOAL!! Well this was a nice surprise!! I celebrated getting my bandages off with a more intense cardio/weights workout and stretch, and was rewarded on the scale! So now I can officially set my next goal at 165…though I’m happy to just keep doing what I’m doing and get there at a leisurely pace. Or not. I guess it’s more of a ‘hey why not?’ than a necessity, but what a great head space to be in!

Day 68-03/08: 175.8 – not so fast, says the scale! It’s ok it’ll come. It’s still a loss for the week, I’ll take it!

Day 75-03/15: 175.4 – I have to say I am stunned and happy that I had a loss this week, no matter how small! I’ve been struggling with a UTI, tons of work pressure and sporadic exercise this week – not to mention some weekend indulgences that migrated into the week – but I guess it’s a good lesson for my “all or nothing” brain that I struggle with…every good choice counts, even if it’s not perfection! I at least got back on track enough to right the ship before it turned into a gain for the week, so taking the win!

Day 81-03/21: 173.6 – Ok well I feel like I can say GOAL again and this time it will stick!! It’s been a good week for workouts – I’ve felt really good and energized, and actually look forward to them! But I do feel hungrier – so have moved my eating window a little earlier, so lunch is at 1pm and I still cut off at 9pm. Feeling good!!

Day 82-03/22: 173.0 – Geez Louise I keep getting these drops – yes I’m working hard but still, I’ve been letting it all hang out on the weekends pretty much so this much of a drop is kind of unexpected. We’ll see if there’s a correction next week…I got up at 4am because work was eating away at my brain, and am already dragging. I sort of went through the motions of a workout and stretch just to make myself move away from my desk – it’s gonna be a long day.

It could also be a correction from my big loss last week…either way it’s all good! Did one my favorite BG workouts, alternating cardio & weights plus a good stretch. Feeling calm and strong!

Day 88-03/28: 174.0 – swamped at work, did a quickie 20 min BG tabata workout & 10 min stretch.

Day 89-03/29: 173.6 – ok, so a correction from last week. I’ll take it. Good cardio/weight workout & stretch, and the sun is out, hooray! Hubby is away this weekend so I'm going to try to keep my indulgences to a minimum and make a little more headway next week. I'm kind of in maintenance mode but would like to give myself a little more breathing room in terms of staying in a 3-5 pound window below 175.

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 92-04/01-DNW-(Trend weight DNW)

Day 93-04/02-180.6-(Trend weight 180.9) This is my weight about 36 hours after the all-you-can-eat Easter buffet dinner. One lb up which I can handle. Today I’ll push water and focus on eating properly. I’ll need to space my meals out so I don’t overdue any night time snacks. Plan, plan, plan.

Day 94-04/03-181.4-(Trend weight 180.9) I went out to dinner locally with my son last night. I had waited too long to eat and suddenly had a sugar drop in the restaurant. I had the special: grilled chicken breast in a parmesan sauce (similar to alfredo) over rice mixed with spinach and mushrooms. I ate the rice which is a no-no but definitely my body craved it to get the carbs to pull me out of my state. I also ate the slice of garlic toast that came with it. I drank plenty of water at the restaurant but probably not enough for the rest of the evening. Today I will try a day of redemption but I will make sure I eat a little something earlier to avoid a glucose issue. I hadn’t had an incident in over a month so that was a disappointment.

Last week:

Day 90-03/30: 174.4 An early Easter dinner.

Day 91-03/31: 176 Indulged in hot cross buns. Crazy carb craving. A few small chocolate eggs.

Day 92- 04/01: 177.2 Continued to feel hungry, craving carbs. Gave in to cravings. Hubby bakes sourdough bread … deadly for me.

Day 93-04/02: 177.2 Weird day, not feeling unwell but not 100% well either; ended by pulling a muscle in upper leg ??? was just moving around setting tables. Will never allow myself to regain like this.

Day 94-04/03: 175.8 Awake much of the night. Iced thigh at 2am and awake for a couple of hours after that. Had to cancel walking plans as still limping ++; sometimes the coincidences are just too weird. Have to go back in to work today cuz forgot to do a food order yesterday. As I said, yesterday was a weird day.

@noynoyavery No problem missing the weigh-ins on the last two days. Just start the next challenge with your last known weight and it will be fine. The trip sounds Wonderful!

Ditto
Sounds like a great trip!
Take lots of photos for us : - )

@Lynn__W

Maybe I missed something.
What is up with your thigh?

dawnbgethealthy · April 3

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

Week 3 Goal: 143.4
Week 3 actual weight: 144.8

Week 4 Goal: 143.8
Week 4 actual weight: 144.6 - Used Saturday's weight

Week 5 Goal: 143.8 - Just putting this number in until I hit it
Week 5 actual weight: 144.8 - started the week at 145.6

Week 6 Goal: 143.8 - Just putting this number in until I hit it
Week 6 actual weight: 144.4 - Started the week at 144.0

Day 50-02/19 - 143.4 - Wow, somehow dropped a pound!! That has made my day! I have been working at this for so many years, and have almost felt like giving up because it seems like I just don't lose any weight no matter how "good" I am. This loss will motivate me to keep on keeping on : - )

Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.2

Week 8 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it
Week 8 actual weight: 145.8 - started the week at 143.0

Week 9 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it. Seems a bit unrealistic at this point
Week 9 actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week (and the 100) at 145.6

Week 10 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it.
Week 10 actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week at 144.4

Week 11 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it.
Week 11 actual weight: 146.8 - Started the week at 144.4

Week 12 Goal: anything less than my start weight of the 100 would be welcome.
Week 12 actual weight: 146.8 - started the week at 147.2

Week 13 Goal: 143.2
Week 13 actual weight: 147.6 - started the week at 146.4

Day 92-04/01 - 146.8 - New week. May have avoided a giant gain from Ribs by fasting during the day before eating them. Really going to do everything I can to drop the 1.2 to get back to my start weight of this 100

Day 93-04/02 - 148.4 - Yikes!! Up almost 2 pounds overnight. Ribs finally kicking in? Sunday and Monday were on point. I weighed that in January of 2020 and lost 7.3 more pounds that year up until September, where I weighed 141.1 on my 60th birthday. Trying to not let today's weight bother me too much. The halfway point of the 100 looked promising. I don't want to fight my body, but I feel like I have to.

Day 94-04/03 - 149.2 - Quardruple ouch!! I need a reset for sure. Made sure to eat breakfast this morning, first time in like 7 days. I used to do the Wild Rose Cleanse every 6 months for 30+ years until it went off of the market. I do know the 80% and 20& eating columns, but the herbs that accompanied the cleanse I don't. I need to get my digestive system cleaned out and back on track for sure. Not sure what is going on. Today I plan to get back to eating rice for dinner, with chickpeas and spices.

Day 95-04/04 -

Day 96-04/05 -

Day 97-04/06 -

Day 98-04/07 -

Week 14 Goal: Oh my, really running out of time! I guess that I just want to be a little less than the start of this 100
Week 14 actual weight:

Day 99-04/08--

Day 100-04/09…..(Final Weigh- In)-

Start weight of this 100: 145.6

tinathescreamer · April 4

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.

Day 50-02/19-- 67.5 kg. Halfway thru the Challenge and Halfway to Goal!

Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) or 50 grams per day.

Day 51-02/20-- 68.1 kg.

Day 52-02/21-- 67.9 kg.

Day 53-02/22-- 67.8 kg.

Day 54-02/23-- 68 kg.

Day 55-02/24-- 69 kg. Back on a bread binge.

Day 56-02/25-- 68 kg. Le sigh.

Week 8 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 8 actual weight: 68 kg. Well, at least it's not more than I weighed 7 days ago.

Day 57-02/26-- 67.5 kg. Have lost 18 (39.6 lb) kg in just over 10 months. Also down 32.5 kg (71.5 lb) since my highest weight - just after first lockdown, so nearly 4 years ago.

Day 58-02/27-- 67.6 kg.

Day 59-02/28-- DNW

Day 60-02/29-- 67.3 kg. ......Ithinkicanithinkicanithinkican.....

Day 61-03/01-- 67.2 kg. Last time I weighed this much/little was well over 20 years ago. Think I was living in another city in 2001? 2002? I was still doing karate then. Maybe I should look into Aikido, which is a softer martial art, or Tai Chi? I know one of the nearby church halls has a falls prevention exercise program for seniors which includes some Tai Chi.

Day 62-03/02-- 67 kg. Waist 30 inches. Hips 39 inches. I'd like to lose a little more round the waist, mostly because I'm concerned about visceral fat - but I'm too old to regain the hourglass figure I had at 22!

Day 63-03/03-- 67 kg.

Week 9 Goal: 67 kg.
Week 9 actual weight: 67 kg. Only 2 kg to lose over the next 5 weeks!

Day 64-03/04-- DNW

Day 65-03/05-- 67.5 kg.

Day 66-03/06-- 67.2 kg. Somewhat surprised at the loss as there was no restraint yesterday. Dear Universe, please stop sending cheese my way. If it's in the fridge it begs to be eaten - oh, that's right. I'm the one what bought it and placed it in the fridge.....

Day 67-03/07-- 68.1 kg. Need to lose 100 g per day for the rest of the Challenge to meet my goal.

Day 68-03/08-- 67.9 kg.

Day 69-03/09-- 68 kg. How come I'm putting on weight in Lent? Well.... tonight was the Spencer-Smith (chaplain on Shackleton's Antarctic Expedition 1914-17. Buried in the ice) Memorial Mass and Lecture, with unveiling of the new stained glass window. Followed by Big Supper - more than a few of us forgot we are supposed to be fasting....

Day 70-03/10-- 67 kg. It is what it is......nevertheless, she persisted.

Week 10 Goal: 66.5 kg.
Week 10 actual weight: 67 kg.

Day 71-03/11-- 66.9 kg. Forecast for the next few days is not great, don't know how much outdoor exercise I'll get. May have to do some dancing to You Tube videos or something to burn up the calories - keeping below limit will be a challenge otherwise.

Day 72-03/12-- 67 kg.

Day 73-03/13-- 66.7 kg. Back at the lowest weight I've been since back on 11/18 last year, before realising my scale was inaccurate. So really I have lost 23.8 kg (over 52 lb) in just under a year. Go me!

Day 74-03/14-- 66.5 kg. Hang on for Just.A.Little.Longer.

Day 75-03/15-- 66.2 kg. So Close to my Final Goal! Just 1.2 kg (2.64 lbs) and 25 days to go!

Day 76-03/16-- 66.1 kg.

Day 77-03/17-- 66.5 kg.

Week 11 Goal: 66.5 kg.
Week 11 actual weight: 66.5 kg. Yay!

Day 78-03/18-- 66.1 kg. Used an online body fat calculator that used my measurements to tell me I am 31% fat. I realise this is only an approximation and I should get it measured more accurately, but I am not happy with that amount of visceral fat still around my organs - it's deemed "normal" at my age, but what is considered "normal" isn't always healthy, at least in one's 60s. As a senior, a certain amount of allowance for degeneration sneaks in. I would like to get to 25% body fat, so I'm looking to build up some muscle, and I think I will lower my ultimate goal to 60 kg. Another 100 Day Challenge coming up!!??

Day 79-03/19-- 66 kg.

Day 80-03/20-- 65.9 kg.

Day 81-03/21-- 66.1 kg.

Day 82-03/22-- 66.2 kg.

Day 83-03/23-- 66.4 kg.

Day 84-03/24-- 66 kg. I will confess - a fair few no noes have crept into my Lenten fasting. I blame the supermarkets for beginning to stock Easter eggs at the end of January. (Seriously, they were on the shelf before St Valentine's Day.)

Week 12 Goal: 66 kg.
Week 12 actual weight: 66 kg. Just 16 days to shed those final 1000 grams (35.2 ounces). Does it make it easier or sound more impressive if I quote a larger number?

Day 85-03/25-- 66.1 kg. My wrist is playing up which prevents me from doing much knitting which usually helps me cut back on hand to mouth snacking - cos who wants greasy fingermarks on their fabric? plus I have to get to the end of the row before I wander into the kitchen to see what's in the fridge..... I went out three separate times for a walk today to keep me out of harm's way..... and wound up having tea and a bacon sandwich at a cafe! Next time Do,Not.Take.Debit.Card.

Day 86-03/26-- DNW

Day 87-03/27-- 66.2 kg.

Day 88-03/28-- 65.5 kg.

Day 89-03/29-- 65.2 kg. Today is the 366th day I have logged into MFP to track my food - a whole year complete with Leap Day. I have lost 20.3 kg (44.66 lb) not including the 5 kg when the scale was wrong. And my BMI is down to 22 - right slap in the middle of the healthy (or at least reduced risk) range. I call that a success. Would like to lose a little more, but not too worried if I don't hit 65 kg exactly - just hope to maintain.

Day 90-03/30-- 65.1 kg. There was feasting - with wine! - galore after the Great Vigil tonight. Actually I was very restrained, because oddly I wasn't really hungry. People who fast regularly tell me the body gets used to it and loses the sense of hunger after a while. I only ate two egg sandwiches and a marzipan rabbit. And half a glass of red wine, which still made my head buzz a bit, so I left the celebration early. I'm hoping there's not much impact on the scale tomorrow.

Day 91-03/31-- 65 kg! Hit my goal!

Week 13 Goal: 65.5 kg.
Week 13 actual weight: 65 kg. Yes!

Day 92-04/01-- 65 kg. Readjusted my settings so I will be losing 0.25 kg per week. Allowed calorie intake is up to 1380 per day, before doing exercise (which increases appetite and allowed calorie intake.)

Day 93-04/02-- 65.1 kg.

Day 94-04/03--64.7 kg.

Day 95-04/04-- 65 kg.

Day 96-04/05--

Day 93-04/02--75.8kg not hungry thankfully, but bloated , feel periody even though I finished last week, didn't eat much yesterday in the end as after hungar abated I just felt normal.

Day 94-04/03--75.5kg feel much better today. Just realised I'm not going to be able to weigh in the last two days as I'm away. Going to see the Dutch bulbs with Mum,coach trip around Amsterdam ,whoop whoop!

Day 95-04/04--75.3kg, so umm, I ovulated this morning, which hasn't happened in years! (Ladies will know, how I know) I still have a cycle of some sort but this was totally unexpected, but explains the feeling the other day, I bet my luteral phase will be longer than two weeks though 🤣 Menopause seems to be a bit of a guessing game for me.

dawnbgethealthy · April 4

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

Week 3 Goal: 143.4
Week 3 actual weight: 144.8

Week 4 Goal: 143.8
Week 4 actual weight: 144.6 - Used Saturday's weight

Week 5 Goal: 143.8 - Just putting this number in until I hit it
Week 5 actual weight: 144.8 - started the week at 145.6

Week 6 Goal: 143.8 - Just putting this number in until I hit it
Week 6 actual weight: 144.4 - Started the week at 144.0

Day 50-02/19 - 143.4 - Wow, somehow dropped a pound!! That has made my day! I have been working at this for so many years, and have almost felt like giving up because it seems like I just don't lose any weight no matter how "good" I am. This loss will motivate me to keep on keeping on : - )

Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 2.2

Week 8 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it
Week 8 actual weight: 145.8 - started the week at 143.0

Week 9 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it. Seems a bit unrealistic at this point
Week 9 actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week (and the 100) at 145.6

Week 10 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it.
Week 10 actual weight: 145.0 - Started the week at 144.4

Week 11 Goal: 141.8 - Putting this number in until I hit it.
Week 11 actual weight: 146.8 - Started the week at 144.4

Week 12 Goal: anything less than my start weight of the 100 would be welcome.
Week 12 actual weight: 146.8 - started the week at 147.2

Week 13 Goal: 143.2
Week 13 actual weight: 147.6 - started the week at 146.4

Day 92-04/01 - 146.8 - New week. May have avoided a giant gain from Ribs by fasting during the day before eating them. Really going to do everything I can to drop the 1.2 to get back to my start weight of this 100

Day 93-04/02 - 148.4 - Yikes!! Up almost 2 pounds overnight. Ribs finally kicking in? Sunday and Monday were on point. I weighed that in January of 2020 and lost 7.3 more pounds that year up until September, where I weighed 141.1 on my 60th birthday. Trying to not let today's weight bother me too much. The halfway point of the 100 looked promising. I don't want to fight my body, but I feel like I have to.

Day 94-04/03 - 149.2 - Quardruple ouch!! I need a reset for sure. Made sure to eat breakfast this morning, first time in like 7 days. I used to do the Wild Rose Cleanse every 6 months for 30+ years until it went off of the market. I do know the 80% and 20& eating columns, but the herbs that accompanied the cleanse I don't. I need to get my digestive system cleaned out and back on track for sure. Not sure what is going on. Today I plan to get back to eating rice for dinner, with chickpeas and spices.

Day 95-04/04 - 147.6 - Dropped my input to just over 1,000 calories yesterday.

Day 96-04/05 -

Day 97-04/06 -

Day 98-04/07 -

Week 14 Goal: Oh my, really running out of time! I guess that I just want to be a little less than the start of this 100
Week 14 actual weight:

Day 99-04/08--

Day 100-04/09…..(Final Weigh- In)-

Start weight of this 100: 145.6

@noynoyavery I'm feeling much better. I was very careful yesterday to balance keeping my calories and carbs low but spreading them out more evenly to avoid another glucose drop. I usually naturally Intermittent Fast in the morning hours as I don't really want food until the afternoon. But if I get really busy, I sometimes wait way too long to eat. That's what happened the other day when my son & I were running so many local errands. I'm glad we went into a restaurant and ate a meal instead of stopping at a gas station or party store and filling up quickly with Little Debbie's! Thanks for asking.

100 Days of Weighing In ^^^^^ January 1st thru April 9th, 2024

“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou

My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 183.8
Goal This Round: 171.8
Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s

Previous Rounds Tally & Thoughts:

This shows the ending weights of each round:

Round #13---196.2
Round #14---191.2
Round #15---194.0
Round #16---188.0
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 94-04/03-181.4-(Trend weight 180.9) I went out to dinner locally with my son last night. I had waited too long to eat and suddenly had a sugar drop in the restaurant. I had the special: grilled chicken breast in a parmesan sauce (similar to alfredo) over rice mixed with spinach and mushrooms. I ate the rice which is a no-no but definitely my body craved it to get the carbs to pull me out of my state. I also ate the slice of garlic toast that came with it. I drank plenty of water at the restaurant but probably not enough for the rest of the evening. Today I will try a day of redemption but I will make sure I eat a little something earlier to avoid a glucose issue. I hadn’t had an incident in over a month so that was a disappointment.

Day 95-04/04-181.2-(Trend weight 181.0) I’m honestly shocked that the scale didn’t go down more. I had such an excellent day yesterday of following all the “rules and routines” of my diet and exercise. Not enough water and no TMI today but I still expected to see a bigger drop as my swings on the scale are usually dramatic. I guess I’ll practice the character trait of patience today. In other thoughts, will winter ever end in Michigan USA?

I just happened to run into this article on a subject several of us talked about the other day. I expected diabetes and/or pre-diabetes to be on the list, but several of the others really surprised me. I just thought I would share.
