Week 3:
Focus: #1 - Stop eating while standing
#2 - food journal, if I eat it, write it!
Day 15 – Friday 08/02: 173.4 Think we’ve finished at the house. Just one more trip next Wednesday.
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.
08/04: 172.6
08/05: 174.8 Not a good evening; blew off ‘my diet’; mini (well actually, more like a binge) ☹
08/06: 173.4 oh oh, totally forgot what I was focusing on . . . today needs to be a heck of a lot better!

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: 124.5lbsWeek 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-- 08/04 - 125.8 lbs. followed IF. Shopping and Movie night. I stuck to eating plans. Easier to control eating and keep it healthy when I keep myself busy.
Day 18-- 08/05 - 126.7lbs. Changed scale batteries, so this number should be more accurate than readings from this week. Followed IF but went ham last evening. Still better than not IF. Did not drink this weekend, yay for me.
Day 19-- 08/06 - 125.4lbs. Followed IF, ate within calorie limits, enjoyed raspberry filled bismark at end of day and started the eating window with junk food. I should focus on more clean eating

Hi : - )
I am Dawn.
5'2"
63 and will turn 64 during this 100
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.
Day 18—08/05 – 147.8 - Lots of sleep again. Big weather change here, we went from 42c to 12c. Perhaps that is why I was so tired and aching joints? Not happy to see a gain, feeling leaner than that. Just one small job today, 4 hours. I got quite a lot done in the garden yesterday before the torrential rains and thunder storm. It was so lovely sitting on my covered porch and watching it with a glass of Prosecco after having accomplished some stuff. What a soothing sound the rain made. Historically we don't get any rain here between April and October, but as we all know the weather is cuckoo in the past few years. 30c change in one day is insane. Of course I am worried about my peppers and tomatoes. I pulled one row of garlic just as the rain was starting. The rest will have to wait until the soil dries out and I don't know when that will be.

Hi, Folks! My name is Darin, and this is my 3rd 100 days challenge (non-consecutive). I do better when I am obligated to post daily – it really makes a difference for me – and I love the community aspect. I’m looking forward to another great 100d!
Starting Weight: 159.2Day 01--07/19 – 159.2 My company was affected by the Crowdstrike problem. I spent all day on hold with IT. My computer is finally working, but it’s after an entire wasted day. Note to self: next time there’s a system-wide failure, just leave the computer and do something fun instead. It wasn’t worth hanging around my work computer, looking at messages come in. I could have had a nice day of paint-by-numbers! Well, that’s my weekend.Day 15—08/02 –158.6 survived the workday. Looking forward to a peaceful weekend ahead. One of the activities is taking my mom out for birthday dinner, so that’ll be a real test of moderation.
Day 02—07/20 – 158.6 Happy Weekend! I hope y’all are doing well. I’m so glad to have some time to relax and putter around the house. Also in charge of dinner for tonight, so will try to come up with something satisfying but healthy.
Day 03—07/21 –159.6 mixed results for last night. I made a kung pao chicken noodle dish which turned out very good, but I also baked cookies which were not part of the plan. So four cookies later, I had nulled out any positivity from the dinner.
Day 04—07/22 –159.9 COOKIES. Too many cookies! Stopped at four yesterday straight out of the oven. But cookie breakfast AND snack isn’t the way I want to go. I also feel kind of bleh afterwards – I think it’s just the empty calories/sugar. Logging it all, though. No matter what!
Day 05—07/23 –159.2 Hard to focus at work today. Migraine did not help matters at all.
Day 06—07/24 –158.6 Almost done with week 1! We’re walking early in the day due to the heat. Tonight it’s back to trivia. We won first place last week, so it remains to be seen how well we do tonight 😊
Day 07—07/25 –158.7 Got 4th place yesterday in trivia. Boo! Next time around…. Looking forward to Friday tomorrow. My husband bought some apple fritters which are now in the house. It’s going to be hard to do that in moderation!
Week 1 Goal: 158.2
Week 1 actual weight: 158.7
Day 08—07/26 –159.2 Moderately stressful Friday today. So glad it’s the weekend.
Day 09—07/27 –158.7 Got a haircut and did some paint-by-numbers today. Looking forward to a gentle Sunday 😊
Day 10—07/28 –158.3
Day 11—07/29 –158.5
Day 12—07/30 –158.0 terrible night last night – have some kind of stomach bug. On the up side I’m not that hungry. ON the downside, lots of GI problems right now.
Day 13—07/31 –159.0 Feeling better and think that the weight is due to the salty soup I ate for dinner yesterday. Had a fairly productive day today, though. Lilylady3k I love it! Your calendar is the tops!
Day 14—08/01 –158.0 Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. Long, tough workday today. At least got the walk out of the way early in the very humid day.
Week 2 Goal: 156.2
Week 2 actual weight: 158.0
Day 16—08/03 –156.9 Woot! Maybe I’m out of the 158s now? That would be super. I’ve been hanging out there for some time now. Had a lovely day of painting and playing around, then cooked a nice dinner for Josh and me – it wasn’t calorie-conscious, but I only ate one serving 😊 There’s a berry cheesecake defrosting, though, so I’m going to have to be very wary around that!!!
Day 17—08/04 –157.0 That cheesecake was delicious. It was hard to keep it to one serving! I was very close to just saying “too delicious for just one slice” lol. It’s still in the fridge, though – so if I can hold it together for the rest of the day, maybe I can have another slice. *maybe*
Day 18—08/05 –157.8 Eating out yesterday plus the cheesecake equalled a bit of a slide backwards. But today I’ve been doing okay. Going to give that last slice of cheesecake to my husband – he’ll appreciate that!
Day 19—08/06 –158.4 Well all good intentions, my husband ended up giving me back the cheesecake slice. I swore, then I ate it. So the scale is definitely deserved.

@lilylady3k I toasted some bread cases and filled them with a bean and cheese stuffing. They are very tasty - but also very moreish!
@deepwoodslady Unfortunately I wound up late night snacking after posting....normally I don't eat after 7 pm.....
Losing weight is not so much the aim, I'd really like to lose an inch all round, and maybe drop a dress size.
Day 15—08/02 – 64 kg
Day 16—08/03 – 64.1 kg
Day 17—08/04 – 64 kg
Day 18—08/05 – 64.9 kg. I've been feeling quite unwell the last 2 days - think it may be due to too much sugar and coffee.
Day 19—08/06 – 64.5 kg. Went to a potluck lunch - didn't eat any homemade baking even tho it all looked yummy. Stuck to devilled eggs and grapes.
Day 20—08/07 – 64.5 kg. Went for a very long walk to try and undo yesterday's damage.

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
Bike 30 min, water definitely but not sure of the oz, no journal.
20 min strength training, not enough water and no journaling.
Weekly Goal: Obese stage 2 BMI 39.9 @ <225 No longer 🚫 morbidly obese!
Actual Weight: 223.7 - BMI 39.7
Challenge Weight Loss: 2.9
🎯 I moved out of Morbidly obese stage 3 and into obese stage 2! ✔️
Now to work my way down to obese stage 1 around 197 but I’ll first have to hit many milestones to get there.
NSV - I “slid” my cellphone into my front pocket of my pants with lots of room to spare. (Aug 2024) ✔️
8/6: 224.6 / 223.8 - All the wrong food choices yesterday left a very heavy feeling and it shows on the scale this morning. Biked 30, some water but not enough and no journaling. Though I was really really busy. My day … bike, shower & wash hair, groceries, dry hair, lunch, art class, pick up granddaughter and take her to the Children’s Museum, drive back across town to my daughter’s house and help her for a while, then a sorority alumni wine kickoff … finally back home around 8:30. Every time I got into the car I was driving 45 min at a min. Exhausted drank more water and went to bed!
8/7: 223.4 / 223.5 - No planned exercise for Wed! Need to focus on water. Though I’m not journaling my portion control has been spot on and no time for snacking the last few days. Driving up to care for my other granddaughter 1.5 hrs away for the day while her mom goes to a pottery class.

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 19-08/06-189.2-(Trend weight 189.6) I did end up eating a very late dinner last night (about midnight). So I’m flip-flopping that same pound back and forth. I travel Wednesday which will probably affect Thur. weigh-in. I also travel Friday which will likely affect Sat. weigh-in. It will be a volatile week but I will try to make wise food choices since the exercise front will be greatly affected. I really, really, really would love to do well in August.
Day 20-08/07-188.2-(Trend weight 189.5) My weight keeps bouncing around the same exact pound—188.2 to 199.2 and then back. Weird pattern! At least my trend weight keeps creeping down. Today I travel for dental cleanings for myself and son, then meeting my contractor in that town for roof supply shopping at a big box home improvement store. I’ll take him to lunch afterward. I’ll choose wisely. It’s so much easier to order in front of other people LOL. Have a great hump day everyone.

Day 15 – Friday 08/02: 173.4 Think we’ve finished at the house. Just one more trip next Wednesday.
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.
08/04: 172.6
08/05: 174.8 Not a good evening; blew off ‘my diet’; mini (well actually, more like a binge) ☹

Hi, Folks! My name is Darin, and this is my 3rd 100 days challenge (non-consecutive). I do better when I am obligated to post daily – it really makes a difference for me – and I love the community aspect. I’m looking forward to another great 100d!
Starting Weight: 159.2Day 01--07/19 – 159.2 My company was affected by the Crowdstrike problem. I spent all day on hold with IT. My computer is finally working, but it’s after an entire wasted day. Note to self: next time there’s a system-wide failure, just leave the computer and do something fun instead. It wasn’t worth hanging around my work computer, looking at messages come in. I could have had a nice day of paint-by-numbers! Well, that’s my weekend.Day 15—08/02 –158.6 survived the workday. Looking forward to a peaceful weekend ahead. One of the activities is taking my mom out for birthday dinner, so that’ll be a real test of moderation.
Day 02—07/20 – 158.6 Happy Weekend! I hope y’all are doing well. I’m so glad to have some time to relax and putter around the house. Also in charge of dinner for tonight, so will try to come up with something satisfying but healthy.
Day 03—07/21 –159.6 mixed results for last night. I made a kung pao chicken noodle dish which turned out very good, but I also baked cookies which were not part of the plan. So four cookies later, I had nulled out any positivity from the dinner.
Day 04—07/22 –159.9 COOKIES. Too many cookies! Stopped at four yesterday straight out of the oven. But cookie breakfast AND snack isn’t the way I want to go. I also feel kind of bleh afterwards – I think it’s just the empty calories/sugar. Logging it all, though. No matter what!
Day 05—07/23 –159.2 Hard to focus at work today. Migraine did not help matters at all.
Day 06—07/24 –158.6 Almost done with week 1! We’re walking early in the day due to the heat. Tonight it’s back to trivia. We won first place last week, so it remains to be seen how well we do tonight 😊
Day 07—07/25 –158.7 Got 4th place yesterday in trivia. Boo! Next time around…. Looking forward to Friday tomorrow. My husband bought some apple fritters which are now in the house. It’s going to be hard to do that in moderation!
Week 1 Goal: 158.2
Week 1 actual weight: 158.7
Day 08—07/26 –159.2 Moderately stressful Friday today. So glad it’s the weekend.
Day 09—07/27 –158.7 Got a haircut and did some paint-by-numbers today. Looking forward to a gentle Sunday 😊
Day 10—07/28 –158.3
Day 11—07/29 –158.5
Day 12—07/30 –158.0 terrible night last night – have some kind of stomach bug. On the up side I’m not that hungry. ON the downside, lots of GI problems right now.
Day 13—07/31 –159.0 Feeling better and think that the weight is due to the salty soup I ate for dinner yesterday. Had a fairly productive day today, though. Lilylady3k I love it! Your calendar is the tops!
Day 14—08/01 –158.0 Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. Long, tough workday today. At least got the walk out of the way early in the very humid day.
Week 2 Goal: 156.2
Week 2 actual weight: 158.0
Day 16—08/03 –156.9 Woot! Maybe I’m out of the 158s now? That would be super. I’ve been hanging out there for some time now. Had a lovely day of painting and playing around, then cooked a nice dinner for Josh and me – it wasn’t calorie-conscious, but I only ate one serving 😊 There’s a berry cheesecake defrosting, though, so I’m going to have to be very wary around that!!!
Day 17—08/04 –157.0 That cheesecake was delicious. It was hard to keep it to one serving! I was very close to just saying “too delicious for just one slice” lol. It’s still in the fridge, though – so if I can hold it together for the rest of the day, maybe I can have another slice. *maybe*
Day 18—08/05 –157.8 Eating out yesterday plus the cheesecake equalled a bit of a slide backwards. But today I’ve been doing okay. Going to give that last slice of cheesecake to my husband – he’ll appreciate that!
Day 19—08/06 –158.4 Well all good intentions, my husband ended up giving me back the cheesecake slice. I swore, then I ate it. So the scale is definitely deserved.
Day 20—08/07 –157.4 Going out to play trivia tonight! Looking forward to a little relaxation at the local tavern. They have a “design your own salad” option that I’m very much anticipating.

Losing weight is not so much the aim, I'd really like to lose an inch all round, and maybe drop a dress size.
Day 15—08/02 – 64 kg
Day 16—08/03 – 64.1 kg
Day 17—08/04 – 64 kg
Day 18—08/05 – 64.9 kg. I've been feeling quite unwell the last 2 days - think it may be due to too much sugar and coffee.
Day 19—08/06 – 64.5 kg. Went to a potluck lunch - didn't eat any homemade baking even tho it all looked yummy. Stuck to devilled eggs and grapes.
Day 20—08/07 – 64.5 kg. Went for a very long walk to try and undo yesterday's damage.
Day 21—08/08 -- 64.9 kg. Oh dear. School report reads Can Do Better.

Day 11—07/29 – 171.6 80oz water
Day 12—07/30 – 172.2 - And up again. Expected. I was up at 3a eating so I could take tylenol for a headache.
Day 13—07/31 – 171.0
Day 21—08/08 - I haven't posted due to some health issues that stopped me in my tracks. I love this challenge and plan on starting back up in a couple of weeks!!

180 / 170s / 160s / 150s / 140s / 130sDay 01—07/19 – 172.6 - So excited for Day 1!
Day 02—07/20 – 172.6
Day 03—07/21 – 172.6 - This is my 4th day at this exact weight. My plan today is to drink 80oz of water, lower my carbs and eat on the low end of my calorie cycyling.
Day 04—07/22 – 172.4 - Only a .2 loss but I'm glad 172.6 is gone. I am an impatient cook and really don't enjoy cooking at all so I tend to do whatever I can that is easy, and I make a lot of it to eat on for days. Yesterday, I cooked a lot of skinless, boneless chicken breast in a dutch oven with spices and a little chicken broth. Once cooked, I shredded them. The day before I cooked a ton of fresh organic carrots, and I steamed a big pot of broccoli. All are in the fridge to eat however, and whenever, we want.

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
Bike 30 min, water definitely but not sure of the oz, no journal.
20 min strength training, not enough water and no journaling.
Weekly Goal: Obese stage 2 BMI 39.9 @ <225 No longer 🚫 morbidly obese!
Actual Weight: 223.7 - BMI 39.7
Challenge Weight Loss: 2.9
🎯 I moved out of Morbidly obese stage 3 and into obese stage 2! ✔️
Now to work my way down to obese stage 1 around 197 but I’ll first have to hit many milestones to get there.
NSV - I “slid” my cellphone into my front pocket of my pants with lots of room to spare. (Aug 2024) ✔️
8/6: 224.6 / 223.8 - All the wrong food choices yesterday left a very heavy feeling and it shows on the scale this morning. Biked 30, some water but not enough and no journaling. Though I was really really busy. My day … bike, shower & wash hair, groceries, dry hair, lunch, art class, pick up granddaughter and take her to the Children’s Museum, drive back across town to my daughter’s house and help her for a while, then a sorority alumni wine kickoff … finally back home around 8:30. Every time I got into the car I was driving 45 min at a min. Exhausted drank more water and went to bed!
8/7: 223.4 / 223.5 - No planned exercise for Wed! Need to focus on water. Though I’m not journaling my portion control has been spot on and no time for snacking the last few days. Driving up to care for my other granddaughter 1.5 hrs away for the day while her mom goes to a pottery class.
8/8: 223.5 / 223.4 -

Weekly Goal (until I hit it): < 220 - Break through the 220s into the teens … 220's
I need to start journaling again because when I bite it and write it the numbers on the scale go down ... because I'm much more selective about what I put in my mouth!3 -
@DarinGettingFitNow I went to play trivia last night too! So much fun! I've been reading your cheesecake saga. LOL. I am the same way with desserts. If it's in my house, I can't stop thinking about it. It's so hard if you don't live alone! My daughter is home for the summer, and she made brownies a few days ago. When I read the box, one serving is 1/20th of the 8"x8" pan. It is one bite! She cut them into 16 pieces, so 225 calories for a little piece:( But I love those brownies and planned for one. Same for the next day. After that, I had her hide them so they were out of sight. I had another tiny piece last night when she and my husband were finishing them off. Why? Because I saw them. Haha. Yesterday, she made banana bread. I asked her to put that out of my sight now. Oh my. My child loves to bake, and she's really good at it. My husband has a big sweet tooth and has never had a problem with his weight, so he doesn't get it.
@Lilylady3k You sure stay busy. I love that you get to help out with your grandchildren. You sure stay busy! I agree with journaling every bite. If I don't, even if I think I'm eating within my calorie limit, I'm probably not because the scale goes up. It is sometimes frustrating because it is a lot of work to log every single thing accurately, but it works!3 -
