    Day 16 – 08/03: 172.6 Busy day ahead getting ready for extra shifts next week then Grandson is arriving next Sunday. Swapping cell phones around in hopes of better reception; yardwork, housework and con’t search for hubby’s lost hearing aides. Crossing fingers I also find a couple of hours to get out for a paddle.
    @Lynn__W Oh no on hubby's hearing aides! Good luck on finding them.

    Thoughts at the beginning of this challenge:

    Last round I had my normal goal of a 12 pound loss which is approximately 4 lbs per month. That comes to about 90 days leaving the other 10 open for special holidays and social occasions. In theory, it’s a good plan. In practice it is a Mountain to Crawl, uphill, both ways. However, each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I CAN make, no matter how big or small. Sadly, I gained a little over 6 pounds last round. I hope to turn all that back around this round. After all, here in Northern Michigan I wait a very long time each year to finally get to good weather and more outside activity. I really want to capitalize on the good weather in the summer months and increase activity and drop pounds. I’m failing miserably with this so far in 2024. Time to maximize the rest of summer and early fall with challenge #20 and make the magic happen! I am so very 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.



    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Day 15-08/02- DNW -(Trend weight DNW) No weigh Friday for me due to medication and early rise day. Decent day yesterday but not perfect ( chocolate snacks). I had no real exercise other than being pulled this way and that with work crew and then DGS. Staying on track today so far. The heat is almost unbearable and with no air there is not relief! My guys are finishing up the 4 smaller windows on the (doghouse) dormers on the upstairs roof. Next week they will install the 3 larger windows on the two reverse peaks and the front of the garage. I feel sorry for them in this heat. I would love to get in some exercise later but I probably won’t because its just too hot inside and out. At the very least I could try to AT LEAST stick to my eating plan.

    Day 16-08/03-188.4-(Trend weight 189.9) I’m grabbing whatever nuggets I can when I say I’m happy my weight is holding its own and glad that my trend weight is still turning back around. Now to capture that ever-illusive progress! Have a great Saturday Ya’ll.

    Excited to join, with the goal of getting fitter, stronger and healthier!

    Stats: 5’5”, F, 40
    Starting Weight: 126.9lbs
    UGW: 118 lbs (concentrate on body fit & strength than weight)
    Round GW: 124.5lbs
    Week 1 Goal: 125.9 lbs
    Week 1 actual weight: 124.5 lbs (-2.5 lbs)

    Day 01--07/19 – 126.9 lbs. Soft start on IF to kickstart fat loss.
    Day 02—07/20 – 126.1 lbs. Ate large meal at end of day. I was able to enjoy good food at party w/ everybody with no worries because of IF.
    Day 03—07/21 – 125.2 lbs. OMAD yesterday, Had protein shake, some drinks and then food at restaurant. Feel hungrier this morning. Restaurant food and alcohol is not conducive to OMAD
    Day 04—07/22 – 126.1 lbs. IF 20:4, surprised by gain but will take it at face value. Snacks, Protein shake, peanuts, burgers, strawberry cake for meal. Should have avoided cake.
    Day 05—07/23 – 125.4 lbs. IF 20:4. Had balanced healthy meal at end of day. But after consuming large calories at end of day felt like there was stone tied to my stomach and felt immediately sleepy. Need to switch to calorie dense light food choices. Started and ended window early. Will move window earlier from today to have enough time to digest before sleep. After 3 days, it was really easy today.
    Day 06—07/24 – 124.5 lbs. OMAD. Balanced healthy meal at end of day. Started and closed window early. Walked and was active for next 2 hrs. Felt better last night compared to night before. Seeing difference in measurements and fat loss. Think I will do another week of OMAD and fat loss and then switch to higher calories and workouts to build/tone muscles.
    Day 07—07/25 – 124.5 lbs. IF, stuck to healthy meal. Wavered from the planned meal but still went well because OMAD allowed keeping myself on track without calorie tracking.


    Thoughts :: IF helped significantly to curb appetite, kept thoughts off food and freed day, allowed staying on track without micromanaging. Need to keep eating window earlier and stay off heavy/greasy restaurant food and alcohol. Follow another week of 20:4 IF to cut fat but then should increase eating window to allow more calories and start strength training. Overall loving this daily accountability sub.

    Day 08--07/26 – 124.7 lbs. Followed plan and ate healthy meal, but slipped late at night and had some cake and snacks. Late night snacking is trouble and I need a good handle on this. I follow IF pretty well but hubby deviating triggered me to deviate as well. Need to plan and stick to it. Weekends are hard for me, so need to be extra careful.

    Day 09--07/27 – 124.7lbs. Night out planned with food and drinks. Deviated from IF window and closed it much later. Accounted for everything in food log

    Day 10--07/28 – 124.7lbs
    Day 11--07/29 – DNW ( broken scale showed +20 lbs)
    Day 12--07/30 – DNW ( broken scale showed -10 lbs)
    Day 13--07/31 – DNW (gave up on scale)
    Day 14--08/01 – 125.8 (not sure if reliable?)

    Week 2 Goal: 123.5 lbs
    Week 2 actual weight: 125.8 (+1.1lbs)
    Thoughts :: This week was difficult. Tried to monitor and keep on the program but the scale started acting wonky and one day add 20 lbs to my weight and another day drop it by 10 lbs. Was super disappointed and lost interest once I could not track and ended up in binges the next 2 days with no accountability. Hoping to come back on track and use alternate scale. The numbers might not be super reliable but will order a new scale. I plan to change my method of measurement meanwhile from weight to inches if need be to keep on track and motivated.

    Day 15-- 08/02 - 125.8lbs. Followed IF 20:4, stayed in limits, following plan. 2 days I swerved from IF, I felt heavy and uncomfortable in the day.
    Day 16-- 08/03 - 125.8lbs. Loose IF but remained in calorie limits. No drinking and kept busy which kept mind off eating
    Day 17--
    Day 18--
    Day 19--

    2022 SW: 209 BMI 37.0 (1/1/2022) Lost focus on myself while helping with 2 new grand babies (Jan & June); also started teaching ESL on Tues & Thurs morning and no longer went to in person Strong & Fit class … EXCUSES EXCUSES
    2023 SW: 232 BMI 41.1 (1/1/2023) Lowest 226

    2025 SW: ⁉️ It’s totally up to you and within your control



    Strategy:
    Bike 30 min 3-4x weekly
    Strong & Fit 1 hr class 2x weekly
    Water 72+ oz daily
    Journal every bite focusing on low net carb <100g
    Weekly weigh in on Mondays



    226.6 - Ending weight last round on 7/11/2024 before vacation.
    7/11-7/25: DNW - Vacation Iceland & Norway
    7/26: 229.2 / 229.0 - Gained 2.6 lbs on vacation at first weigh in. I expect some of this to be travel bloat and disappear by tomorrow but not all! I did walk most days 2-6 miles which I'm proud of! Pushed through the knee pain. And one day I actually got on the bike in the gym on the boat. :)
    Not surprised that my weight is up. After a day of travel leaving at 3am Thursday morning from the hotel in Oslo … hour drive to the airport… flights to Paris, Detroit, Houston (airplane food on each leg of the journey and 3 bags of chips on the last flight) … landed in Houston at 6pm … picking up our dog & dinner with our son’s family at 7:30pm, another hour driving home finally home at 10:00pm Thursday night (which was 5am Friday morning Oslo time). So all in all a 26 hour travel day.
    Broke my promise to myself so vacation eating plan was a fail in that I ate the bread basket every night at dinner and dessert at lunch, dinner and 4pm tea time on a 11 night cruise! Oh boy such bad habits on vacation to over come. Otherwise my eating was really healthy with small portions and no snacking. Lots of room to improve on my next cruise in October.
    Now to tackle these pounds and not let them continue to slip back into the 230s.
    7/27: 227.5 / 228.6 - The real weight gain from my trip is .9 lbs! Less than a pound. Shedded the bloat from the long 26 hours of travel and got my body reset to this time zone. I’ll take it and tackle that little gain before it slips away from me. 😊 Now to make progress … meaning I need to focus on WATER, exercise and journaling every bite remembering small portions pay off big dividends helping me toward my goals.
    Biked 30 min, journaled, water 80+ oz
    7/28: 226.0 / 227.8 - Back to clean living and better habits. Grocery shopping was huge since before leaving due to the hurricane electrical outage for 3-4 days we had to throw EVERYTHING out of our 2 fridge/freezers. So lots of fresh food and very few temptations or snacks in the house. DH didn’t even buy cookies so there are no sweets to add calories after dinner. Created menus and bought only what was needed though I did forget salad dressing … guess the selection balsamic my sister gave me for Christmas will due in a pinch. LOL
    Bike 30 min, journaled, water 80+ oz
    7/29: 225.5 / 227.1 - Didn’t make strength training class since DH has Covid and I had to deal with the AC guy for our annual checkup. He was early and showed up when my class was suppose to start. So after he left I got on the bike instead.
    Bike 30 min, journaled, water 80 oz

    Weekly Goal: Lose any vacation pounds and ensure I’m back < 227
    Actual Weight: 225.5 - BMI = 40
    Challenge Weight Loss: 1.1
    🎯 Returning from vacation and getting myself started back on the healthy journey was key this week. I’m happy with my focus and determination. Now to focus on no longer being labeled “morbidly” obese.

    7/30: 224.8 / 226.2 - Bike 30, journaled, water 80 oz. Focusing on getting the 7 hrs recommended sleep.
    7/31: 224.5 / 225.5 - Since I missed strength training Monday I’ll tune into her private YouTube channel and do a make up session. I put it off not feeling my best so probably will test for Covid later today. Skipped all exercise instead this Wednesday. First time in the red since I had not activity to burn off extra calories. 1228 cal and 70 net carbs. Felt so awfully full in the evening that I had to stretch out and go to bed early. Journaled and 80 oz water.
    8/1: 224.4 / 225.0 - Feeling good this morning but still have an uncomfortably full sensation. Otherwise feel normal. Negative Covid test! Biked 30 72+ oz water. Journaled a big bowl of red beans and rice but the surprise was the 31 carbs in my store bought prepackaged salad! Roundtrip 3 hours to north part of Houston to watch my granddaughter for 2 hrs. DH is considering moving to be closer.
    8/2: 224.1 / 224.5 - Today’s focus … after my exercise class … prep for the party. Buying everything for the charcuterie board I’m making for the party, bake dark chocolate brownies, an then picking up wine & special iced cookies for the party tomorrow. The other grandmother is having tea sandwiches made, buying a dip, wine, variety of sparkling waters and she hired someone to act as bartender and to keep the place picked up during the party (la-di-da but that is how she rolls in her world … the party is at her house in a very nice upscale area inside Houston).
    Only did 20 min of my strength training class because I became dizzy and almost fainted. Had to lay down. Journaled. 72+ oz water.
    8/3: 224.8 / 224.4 - Not at all surprised by the up tic on the scale. Lunch out with my daughter yesterday and though we split the meal I let her order … chips with spinach artichoke dip, chicken strips, French fries. Nothing healthy about it! Then I ate brownies because they made a crumbled mess out of the pan and didn’t get a clean square … probably ate 2.
    Today I need to be a little more cautious in my eating! Sip & See for my new granddaughter. Myself and the other grandmother are hosting a large party of our lady friends (45-50) to meet all 3 of my grandchildren. No exercise, no journal but did drink my water. Didn’t eat anything at the party but did have a slice of brisket at my son’s and a cookie when I returned home.
    8/4: 223.5 / 223.9 - Nothing planned today but the bike and painting. May get out and weed some though the heat is stifling. Way too much charcuterie and cookie leftovers in the house. DH & I could have charcuterie for lunch or dinner every day this week LOL
    8/5:

    Weekly Goal: Obese stage 2 BMI 39.9 @ <225 No longer 🚫 morbidly obese!

    BMI is broken down as follows:
    * Normal: 19.0–24.9
    * Overweight: 25.0–29.9
    * Obese stage 1: 30.0–34.9
    * Obese stage 2: 35.0–39.9
    * Morbidly obese stage 3: 40.0 or greater

    Thoughts at the beginning of this challenge:

    Last round I had my normal goal of a 12 pound loss which is approximately 4 lbs per month. That comes to about 90 days leaving the other 10 open for special holidays and social occasions. In theory, it’s a good plan. In practice it is a Mountain to Crawl, uphill, both ways. However, each 100 day round I am extremely grateful for any progress I CAN make, no matter how big or small. Sadly, I gained a little over 6 pounds last round. I hope to turn all that back around this round. After all, here in Northern Michigan I wait a very long time each year to finally get to good weather and more outside activity. I really want to capitalize on the good weather in the summer months and increase activity and drop pounds. I’m failing miserably with this so far in 2024. Time to maximize the rest of summer and early fall with challenge #20 and make the magic happen! I am so very 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.



    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Day 16-08/03-188.4-(Trend weight 189.9) I’m grabbing whatever nuggets I can when I say I’m happy my weight is holding its own and glad that my trend weight is still turning back around. Now to capture that ever-illusive progress! Have a great Saturday Ya’ll.

    Day 17-08/04-189.2-(Trend weight 189.8) We went to a Casino yesterday to celebrate my oldest DGS’ 18th birthday. It was one of the few casinos that allow an 18 year old in to gamble. My son and I lost about $250.00 over several hours but we had fun. The birthday boy was very conservative with his money and did much better than the rest of us. I was happy it was a fun experience for him. He had brought along a best friend. Both breakfast and dinner was out with the whole gang so it’s showing up on the scale today. However, my trend weight is still inching down so I am going to try to plan, as best as I can with DD and DGS here, to have a good low calorie, low carb healthy day. I want to hurry and get back on track before my trend weight notices that I strayed.

    @Lilylady3k

    You are steadily losing.
    Great job on having zero to eat at the party! A lesson for all of us, we can go out and have socialization and it doesn't need to include calories ingested.

    Hi : - )
    I am Dawn.
    5'2"
    Cranbrook, BC

    The most that I have ever lost on one of these 100s is 7lbs.
    I have gained in each of the last 6 of them!
    I am not sure what it is going to take, but I would like to get back to 130 and below.


    Week 1 Goal: 146.2
    Week 1 actual weight: 148.0 - Started the week at 147.2

    Week 2 Goal: 147s
    Week 2 actual weight: 147.8 - Started the week at 148.2

    Day 15—08/02 – 147.6 - Just catching up on posts this morning, I went out and got the grass cut yesterday morning so didn't post here. Watering all over the place this morning and have read the posts in between moving the sprinklers. Hot here.
    Day 16—08/03 – 146.8 - Touched 146.2 last week. Tonight is normally my indulgent night, scheduled to finish work at 8pm and off tomorrow. I might make myself nachos, we'll see. Very hot here, already missed the early morning window of digging in the garden. Not sure what I will get up to today, I don't work until later on Saturdays, I will begin to get ready around 3pm. Really enjoying my Italian roast coffee this morning.
    Day 17—08/04 – 147.4 - I ended up going back to bed yesterday until 1pm, I was soooo tired. I weighed 146.2 when I woke up. Didn't eat much of anything last night after work, I had a couple of cocktails and some snacks, no dinner which is emerging as the norm for me 5 nights a week. I will try to have some sort of dinner today because it is a day off, just one job tomorrow during the day tomorrow because it is a stat holiday here, then Tuesday off. More time to get some proper nutrition into me.
