Good Morning! How did we all do this week?
@Zaxa2021, I am basically writing off the next couple weeks. Keeping things under control is the watchword for holidays. 🙂
Day 43—12/08— 174.2 - Shooting for one pound a week now. It's supposed to get temporarily warmer for a couple days....hoping to get in some walking. But also might have to go to court for jury duty. Had a bagel for breakfast and made sure I took enough insulin to compensate. Chicken for dinner, I think.
Day 44—12/09— I forgot what I weighed.....grrrrr.
Day 45—12/10— 174.6 - I think my diabetes is fighting me for the weight....that and age. Still, I am trucking along. I am eating well so I am not concerned. December is tough anyway. I have a party on Saturday and I do want to enjoy it. I am not a big drinker....might have a glass of wine, but then just water after that.
Day 46—12/11— 174 - Going grocery shopping in a bit, despite the deluge of rain. I ordered a cinnamon cake for Christmas and am putting it in the freezer so I won't be tempted.
Day 47—12/12— 172.8 - Going out to dinner tonight (seafood) so I don't expect that loss to hold, but for now I'll take it.
Day 48—12/13— 174.6 - I expected the weight, and that's fine. I know its mostly water. Back on the stick today!
Day 49—12/14— 174.8 - S'ok...I am patient. I am still down 15 pounds from when I started. Not expecting much of a change until after the New Year.

Beginning of Round Thoughts:
I am Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired. I mean, I am LITERALLY both Sick with many ailments and Tired of putting myself through this back & forth! I weighed 181.6 on January 1st, 2024. This has not been a good year for me. How much progress I can make in November, December and January is very very questionable, at the very least. Those months are riddled with holidays, baking pies and cakes, making cookies and fudge. Lots of decadent dishes high in calories and carbs. And lots of shopping excursions away from home which always include restaurants and long car rides. So many celebrations including multiple family birthdays as well! These are the hardest months of the year for most of us. But I’m not throwing in the towel just yet!. I will do ALL I can, As I can, When I can. Life is going to happen and I will definitely live it, but there are lots of days where progress can still be made and/or damages can be mitigated. I must stay steadfast and strong in my resolve. This is about my health journey, not just my weight journey. I will not give up based on what month the calendar page is on!

Day 47-12/12-194.6-(Trend weight 193.3)
Day 48-12/13-194.4-(Trend weight 193.4) I made some pretty bad choices yesterday. A neighbor brought over some thick slabs of fresh homemade bread which we slathered with butter and ate with coffee. Not exactly a good choice with my T2D. I skipped my entire dinner because of it which means any chance of nutrition went straight out the window. Then late last night I got hungry watching TV (which is to be expected with such a stupid dinner) and the snacks were less than desirable. I’m glad the scale did not go up but it really didn’t go down much either. It was not a good path to weight loss progress or better health. I hope she leaves her bread home today because it’s something I have a hard time saying no to. I’d like a real meal today! The choices are always up to me, this I do know. But sometimes the willpower is out of my hands!
Day 49-12/14-191.8-(Trend weight 193.3) I have no idea why there was such a bug whoosh today. I am questioning the scale reading and wish I would have weighed in a second place or with my second scale. Especially when I questioned it just the other day for a large drop. DGS had me hopping at the time so I’m stuck with just one reading. I’ll take the weight as a win today but will eagerly wait to see what happens tomorrow. Even though my goal is to lose ANYTHING per round, my micro mini personal goal is to stop focusing on the big picture and focus on just 5 pounds at a time. I think I was at 193.6 when I started focusing on this current 5 pounds. I need to land at 188.6. 3.2 lbs to go if the scale is accurate. T-Minus 1.8 lbs gone (I hope). We are already to the halfway point tomorrow? Yikes!!!!!

Day 43 ~ 12/08: 175.8 Work
Day 44 ~ 12/09: 177, Monday morning weigh ins con’t to be brutal ☹ Joined a WW virtual meeting, WW is shifting it’s plan to include lean red meats and potatoes as Zero point foods. Focus needs to be on portion sizes and being aware of saity levels.
Day 45 ~ 12/10: 177.4 Worked. My enthusiasm for this job is waning. Makes for a longer work day. Last 3 days I’ve had different cooks every day so it’s okay but . . .
Day 46 ~ 12/11: 175.4 not totally on plan but walked/hiked for 90 minutes. Still no snow!
Day 47 ~ 12/12: 174.8 yeah!! Jeeeez, found mouse turds in another cupboard so deep cleaning continues. Off to town soon to buy more bleach!
Who’s going to join me in my daily CHALLENGE?? How many times today do we pop something in to our mouths while standing up? Only eat when sitting at “our place” at the table.
Day 48 ~ 12/13: 174.6 Failed horribly at my own challenge last nite; obviously a worse habit than I realized. So shifting it for me to track/count how many times I mindlessly pop food into my mouth while standing. Hope to lessen the number each day.
Day 49 ~ 12/14: 176 Realizing that 90% of yesterday’s eating happened when standing. Working on it.

Hi : - )
I am Dawn.
5'2"
64 years old
Cranbrook, BC, Canada
The most that I have ever lost on one of these 100s is 7lbs.
I am not sure what it is going to take, but I would like to get back to 130 and below.
I started my weight loss journey because my doc threatened to put me on blood pressure medication for the rest of my life. I joined MFP at 198 pounds although I had been heavier than that.
I lost enough weight to chase away high blood pressure, but now the doc is saying that my arthritis in knees, feet, and ankles would benefit greatly by me dropping another 30 pounds. That number used to be 15 pounds, but I have been gaining and gaining these last couple of years.
I am an active person, and eat nutritious food.
Week 1 Goal: 145.6
Week 1 actual weight: 143.6- Started the week at 146.6
Week 2 Goal: 143.0
Week 2 actual weight: 144.8 - Started the week at 145.0
Week 3 Goal: 144.9
Week 3 actual weight:144.4 - Started the week at 147.8
Week 4 Goal: Didn't put one
Week 4 actual weight: 146.2 - Started the week at 146.0
Week 5 Goal: 146.6
Week 5 actual weight: 147.2 - Started the week at 146.8
Week 6 Goal: 144.8 - a bit ambitious but maybe do-able since I shouldn't be exhausted all week and eating dinners at 1am
Week 6 actual weight: 146.4 - Started the week at 146.8
Day 43—12/08— 146.6 - back to my start weight of this 100. I have been up and down and all around it. Ice skating today : - ) And...chipping away at the last bit of my ice bank which was around 3 feet high at one point.
Day 44—12/09— 147.8 - Eh??? Like last Sunday, I went hard on the ice mound, plus workouts plus ice skating, and barely ate. It took me all week to get that off. However, the "hill" is now gone! There was one massive boulder that came out intact so that I didn't have to chip small bits of it away : - ) I can barely move my hand this morning.
Day 45—12/10— 147.2 - Going out for dinner. Eating out is always a recipe for a 3 pound gain for me, even if I just have a salad with Grilled Chicken...and I won't be, it is a Thai place, so will likely be Noodles of some sort. I try to eat out only 6 times per year, but I was in Cancun for almost 14 days, so ate out twice per day every day during that time. I am going to pre-log. I will be having chicken satay as an app, and then Drunken noodles. Going to make sure to get a good workout in.
Day 46—12/11— 147.2 - Whew, really expected to see a jump after dinner out. No chicken satay : - ( The table before us got the last order of it. The main thing that I was looking forward to, I do love peanut sauce with grilled chicken skewers. I had only 200 calories prior to going out, to mitigate. 2 jobs today and tomorrow, but it is the new job, which finishes at 9pm instead of midnight : - )
Day 47—12/12— 147.2
Day 48—12/13— 147.8 - Quick fly by. Yesterday morning before work I began working on my "complaint" to the BC employment standards (labour board) to try to recoup my 3k of lost wages. When I went in to continue it this morning everything that I had added was gone. It looked like each page that I entered saved when I went to the next of the lengthy process. Apparently not. Staff party for my day job tonight beginning at 9:30pm, company tomorrow, company and a play on Sunday. Busy lol
Day 49—12/14— 147.4 - I got my complaint to BC employment standards yesterday after work and before our Christmas party at my job at the Indian restaurant. The food, drinks, karaoke, presents and dancing were so great. A bunch of Filipino girls that work there made things like Adobo chicken, Cassava cake etc., plus the restaurant put out rice, beef masala, and daal mahkni. Super fun. I got home at 1:30am. Today I have company coming for Mulled Wine, Camembert and snacks. I put the mulled wine together when I got home from work at 5:30 yesterday and will turn it back on again soon so that I have that lovely smell : - )
Surprised that I didn't gain any weight, but I danced lots :- )
Week 7 Goal: Anything under 145.0 until I hit it.

10/18-10/26: DNW - Vacation Northeast coast & Canada
10/27: 222.9 - Up 5.4 lbs in one week of vacation indulgence. I really hope that some of this is water retention from travel and will shed quickly in the next 2 days. The trip with my sister was great but I drank cocktails that had way more calories than my normal glass of wine. Think that was probably my biggest mistake. Starting this round in the RED!
🎂 Not the way I wanted to kick off my birthday … 64 years. Will I get to Onederland before I’m 65??? Bike 30 min
10/28: 220.1 / 221.8 - Not under 220 but I’ll take it. Today taking care of my granddaughter since she has fever and can’t go to daycare. My daughter is flying to North Carolina for work and her husband has 4 meetings at work today so they need Nana’s help with the little one. The other is going to daycare.

Actual Weight: 220.1

Challenge Weight Loss: 0
🎯 Still in the red so I’m going to work this coming week to get back down to pre vacation weight.
10/29: 218.8 / 221.1 - Gradually shedding the travel water retention and vacation weight gain. Wondering if this is my real weight which would mean I gained a real pound on this trip ... much like all my other 4 vacations in the past 2 years. Now will be the real challenge to get rid of this pound!
10/30: 217.9 / 220.1 - My knees are bothering me again after all the walking on vacation. Today I’m going to focus on the bike exercise and go back to my PT exercises to help stretch out and strengthen the muscles around the knees.
10/31: 216.5 / 219.0 - 🎃 Yeah! A new low and my trend is under 220. All the grandkids are getting together at my daughter’s home for chili and to trick-o-treat together tonight. I’m looking forward to it! This year we have Elsa and Ana from Frozen and a beautiful pink princess.
11/1: 217.7 / 218.4 - Indulged a little too much plus didn’t get on the bike but did walk with the grandkids trick-or-treating.
11/2: 216.8 / 217.8 - Great lunch out yesterday with an old friend. I chose a fun harvest salad with grilled chicken, spring mix lettuce, pumpkin seeds, roasted beets & butternut squash, goat cheese, quinoa with Fig Balsamic dressing. It was yummy! Never tried these veggies before roasted and never liked beets before but this I loved! Only ate half and stopped when I was full.
Today the families are going to the zoo. Lots of chasing grandkids in my future morning adventures.
11/3: 218.7 / 217.9 - Too much yesterday! Daughter brought both Kolaches and donuts which I had 1 of each. Then DIL brought key lime cup cakes she made for my birthday celebration which were yummy and I had 1 after a salad lunch and another after pasta dinner. The results of the indulgence showed up on the scale this morning.
11/4: 218.3 / 217.9 - 30 min bike

Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Water! ✔️
Actual Weight: 218.3
Gain / Loss this week: 1.8
Challenge Weight Loss: .8
🎯 Lost most of the vacation gain but I’m still in the red for this challenge as I’ve not gotten back to my starting 217.5 pre-vacation reading. Lots of things I could have and should have done this week … bike, not eat so many cupcakes, etc.
11/5: 215.8 / 217.2 - I had a “spell” last night where my heart raced for over an hour (180 bpm). Drank water, lied down, breathing … tried everything I knew to get it to slow down. I have vascular syncope and almost blacked out at dinner when it kicked in. Of course this had to be the time when my DIL and granddaughter were staying over and my sister was here for dinner. Better this morning. Wondering if I burned off the calories LOL
11/6: 218.3 / 217.4 - Taking it easy today … bike 30, min walk 1 mil, paint, plan for potential move since remodeling as much as we want is out of the question cost wise.
11/7: 217.2 / 217.2 - Up at 3am … WHY!?!?
11/8: 217 / 217.1 - Biked 20 min
11/9: 217 / 217.0 - Biked 20 min, weed & mulch front bed, played with grandkids
11/10: 215.6 / 216.5 - Saw 215 during last round before vacation but didn’t hold on to it. Wondering if I’ll be able to this week. Biked 20 min
11/11: 215.5 / 216.1 - Took a 1.5 hr nap both Sat and Sun … I guess my body really needed sleep this weekend.
Weekly Goal: < Pre vacation weight 217.5 to get back to my starting challenge weight!
Weekly Positive Habit Focus: Bike 4x this week ✔️
Actual Weight: 215.5
Gain / Loss this week: 2.8

🎯 Finally shed the pounds from the cruise and I’m below my pre vacation weight and the end weight of the last round. Now to get to 210!!!

11/19: 215.0
11/20: 216.1
11/21: 215.4 Stepping on the scale daily but not much else. I've not even looked at the trend but it seems fairly flat. Need to find the want and the time to focus on me.
11/22: 215.4
11/23: 214.9
11/24: 214.8 / 214.9 - Finally got the moving average as well as the scale below 215. Can I hope that it goes below 210 before the end to he year with all the holiday celebrations I have ahead of me over the next 5 weeks? I’ve not been on the bike in a while … Think I’ll ad that to my must do today list. Bike 20 min.
11/25: 214.3 / 214.7 - Today’s focus … Bike plus PLANNING health insurance, flights for vacation next year and begin decorating for the holidays since we don’t have anyone here for Thanksgiving.
Weekly Goal: < 214
Actual Weight: 214.3 BMI = 37.9
Gain / Loss this week: 1.1
Challenge Weight Loss: 3.2
🎯 Minor progress. Seems like I’ve been at 215 forever but in reality that vacation at the end of October pushed me up to almost 223 temporarily. I’m glad to feel like I’m making a little progress again even if it is very very slow.
11/26: 214.1 / 214.4 - Hit yesterday with a terrible cold that makes me feel awful.
11/27: 213.6 / 214.0 - Slept most of yesterday … wasted day but I think the fever broke last night.
11/28: 213.4 / 213.7 - Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Just DH & I today. Tomorrow we join our son & wife in Austin for Thanksgiving meal with our DIL’s parents, one of her brothers and some of their friends.
11/29: 214.3 / 213.9 -
11/30: 214.5 / 213.9 - 6 hrs in the car and Thanksgiving feast on Friday shows on the scale. Not unexpected.

Previous and Future WeeksPrevious days' notes were lost when I got a new phone and my notes didn't get carried over. Copying and pasting from an old post proved to be too troublesome, especially for something that no one really needs or wants to re-read.
Day 36—12/01— 148.7. I was expecting my weight to be up from my sick weight yesterday, but wasn't expecting this much. I ate yesterday, but still well under my calories as I wasn't feeling great. Oh well.
Day 37—12/02— 149.1
Day 38—12/03— 148.3. I'm happy it came down a little.
Day 39—12/04— 147.9.
Day 40—12/05— 146.7. Woo-hoo! I'm super excited for this new low. Hopefully it'll stick for the end of the week goal
Day 41—12/06— 147.0. I feel like I'm in the zone right now. I'm motivated, my healthy habits are taking hold and becoming routine, and I just feel like I'm doing things "right". I know this feeling won't last forever, but I'm going to try to hold on to it for a few more pounds at least.
Day 42—12/07— 146.4. My boys are spending the weekend with Gramma, so I'll have some more time to myself today. Have some errands, chores and things to do, but hoping to also have some down time for Me Time and maybe a little extra at the gym.
Week 6 Goal: 147.0
Week 6 actual weight: 146.4
Day 43—12/08— 145.5. Hmmm... I'm dropping weight a bit too fast. Almost 2 pounds in 2 days? A bit of a woosh may have been building up, but I also think I'm a bit dehydrated. I haven't been focusing on water the last few days. So I'm going to try drinking more today, and see if my weight evens out a bit.
Day 44—12/09— 147.2. I drank more water yesterday, putting me around where I think I should be. I gotta stay hydrated.
Day 45—12/10—147.7. Took the day off from the gym, but went for a walk. Calories were just a smidge higher than I would like them to be. Going to pre-track my food today.
Day 46—12/11— 147.7. Anxiety was pretty bad. Exercise was pretty scarce yesterday. Eating was okay.
Day 47—12/12— 148.0. I was really tired yesterday so took it easy, again. Food wasn't the best. I'm going to do better today.
Day 48—12/13— 146.4.
Day 49—12/14— 148.0. My weight was everywhere this week. I'm just going to take this week's gain with a grain of salt.

100 Days of Weighing In #21 ^^^^^ October 27th, 2024 thru February 3rd, 2025
“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” ~Maya Angelou
My Name is Donna, Age 64. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 191.6
Goal This Round: 178.6
Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx
Beginning of Round Thoughts:
I am Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired. I mean, I am LITERALLY both Sick with many ailments and Tired of putting myself through this back & forth! I weighed 181.6 on January 1st, 2024. This has not been a good year for me. How much progress I can make in November, December and January is very very questionable, at the very least. Those months are riddled with holidays, baking pies and cakes, making cookies and fudge. Lots of decadent dishes high in calories and carbs. And lots of shopping excursions away from home which always include restaurants and long car rides. So many celebrations including multiple family birthdays as well! These are the hardest months of the year for most of us. But I’m not throwing in the towel just yet!. I will do ALL I can, As I can, When I can. Life is going to happen and I will definitely live it, but there are lots of days where progress can still be made and/or damages can be mitigated. I must stay steadfast and strong in my resolve. This is about my health journey, not just my weight journey. I will not give up based on what month the calendar page is on!

Day 49-12/14-191.8-(Trend weight 193.3) I have no idea why there was such a bug whoosh today. I am questioning the scale reading and wish I would have weighed in a second place or with my second scale. Especially when I questioned it just the other day for a large drop. DGS had me hopping at the time so I’m stuck with just one reading. I’ll take the weight as a win today but will eagerly wait to see what happens tomorrow. Even though my goal is to lose ANYTHING per round, my micro mini personal goal is to stop focusing on the big picture and focus on just 5 pounds at a time. I think I was at 193.6 when I started focusing on this current 5 pounds. I need to land at 188.6. 3.2 lbs to go if the scale is accurate. T-Minus 1.8 lbs gone (I hope). We are already to the halfway point tomorrow? Yikes!!!!!

Day 50-12/15-191.4-(Trend weight 193.1) Yay! The whoosh yesterday was real. Checked and double-checked. T-Minus 2.2 lbs. 2.8 lbs to go on my mini goal of 5 lbs in no set time frame. I’m in a wrapping frenzy and hope to get a lot more done today. A new contractor is coming in the morning for some tile work. A female which is unusual around this very small town. She will work in conjunction with my current contractor who doesn’t have a tile guy at the moment. I anticipate jealousy by my 1st contractor as she will be working around and behind his work (plumbing, drywall etc.). He has a lot of pride but is not as picky as she is. Pride goeth before a fall. I hope he will mind his manners!
Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: 0.2 lbs Lost Time to kick it into high gear and do as much As I Can, When I Can, Where I Can, even through December!

The chefs are all from Nepal, so it is a real fusion

Everything from Pad Thai, to Souvlaki, to big steaks and lamb shank.
The Sambucca prawns appetizer is a big hit.
Several of my friends have been in to dine, and are raving about the food.
I am just there 2 dinners per week. I have picked up 3 dinner shifts at my day job while someone is away for 2 months. Still managing to carve out 2 days off per week even though they are full of appointments and stuff.5 -
Hi : - )
I am Dawn.
5'2"
64 years old
Cranbrook, BC, Canada
The most that I have ever lost on one of these 100s is 7lbs.
I am not sure what it is going to take, but I would like to get back to 130 and below.
I started my weight loss journey because my doc threatened to put me on blood pressure medication for the rest of my life. I joined MFP at 198 pounds although I had been heavier than that.
I lost enough weight to chase away high blood pressure, but now the doc is saying that my arthritis in knees, feet, and ankles would benefit greatly by me dropping another 30 pounds. That number used to be 15 pounds, but I have been gaining and gaining these last couple of years.
I am an active person, and eat nutritious food.
Week 1 Goal: 145.6
Week 1 actual weight: 143.6- Started the week at 146.6
Week 2 Goal: 143.0
Week 2 actual weight: 144.8 - Started the week at 145.0
Week 3 Goal: 144.9
Week 3 actual weight:144.4 - Started the week at 147.8
Week 4 Goal: Didn't put one
Week 4 actual weight: 146.2 - Started the week at 146.0
Week 5 Goal: 146.6
Week 5 actual weight: 147.2 - Started the week at 146.8
Week 6 Goal: 144.8 - a bit ambitious but maybe do-able since I shouldn't be exhausted all week and eating dinners at 1am
Week 6 actual weight: 146.4 - Started the week at 146.8
Week 7 Goal: Anything under 145.0 until I hit it.
Week 7 actual weight: 147.4 - Started the week at 146.6
Day 50—12/15— 149.0 - Uh-oh! I guess all that party food just took a couple of days to show up on the scale. I had company yesterday, Mulled wine and snacks, then after they left, more of the leftovers from the party. Eek.
Halfway Progress Report: …..Gained almost 3 pounds, I guess 2.4

No idea why it shot up, but hands were so swollen this morning I couldn’t get my wedding rings on, and I typically have a hard time keeping them on.3 -
About me and previous weeks under the spoiler!Hey new friends! 🎉 This is my very first 100-day challenge, just in time to conquer the holiday season and I’m excited! My goal is to lose 7 lbs by the end or roughly 0.5 lbs/week.
For me, it's all about healthy eating and getting my portions under control. I don’t have any strict workout plans 'cause I’ve learned that juggling too many goals just makes my brain melt 🧠💥. I try to stay active, but I’m totally a "go with the flow" kinda person—no step counting here.
About Me - Canadian, work full time remotely, been on MFP since 2010 so I’ve been trying to lose the same 10, 15, 20 lbs for almost 15 years! 🤣 HW 184.6 May ’24, I love puzzles, Netflix, puttering around the house and my cats!
Week 1 - Down 0 lb- Day 1 (10/27) 171.8 lb. Ran 10k, goal was 1800 cal. Garmin said I burned over 800 cal during my run but those are wildly inaccurate so I count that as 400 cal, then ate back about 200. Ended the day at 1850.
- Day 2 (10/28) 172.8 lb. I'm sure this gain is due to my big run yesterday and muscle soreness, I'm trying not to get bothered by fluctuations due to good things like exercise or strength training. Have a family birthday dinner tonight, have already looked at the menu and nutrition and pre-selected something. While I'd love to splurge, its not my own bday and I just don't think it's worth it today. I'll probably steal a fry or two off someone! 🍟
- Day 3 (10/29) 171.6 lb.🌮 I’m loving these daily reflections so far! Last night’s dinner out strategy: I pre-selected fish tacos and a small soup for about 800 calories, plus I had a protein snack before heading out (because prep is key, right?). Someone ordered appies for the table, and I did have a few, but I restrained myself. Ended up skipping the soup, and the fish tacos were awesome! I even ditched the tortilla on the second one. Still over my daily calories, but let’s be real—it feels unpossible to stick to a deficit when restaurant food is involved! This year, I've been working on changing my mindset around food, reminding myself that food is NOT entertainment. Last night was all about the family vibes—we laughed, shared stories, and celebrated a birthday. The people were the highlight, not the food!
- Day 4 (10/30) 171.6 lb. Hit the gym yesterday for a lower body strength session, feeling sore. Ate well, then bff called right before dinner to see if I wanted to go out to eat. We shared a main dish and appie. No idea on calories so prob another day not within deficit but I’m happy to have developed better restaurant habits so each visit isn’t a complete calorie blowout. Intentionally have not bought my halloween candy yet, will do that today to limit the damage! 🍫
- Day 5 (10/31) 172.0 lb. No willpower around Halloween candy, someone brought me a giant cookie I ate it, rode the bike for an hour, tomorrow will be a better day.🫡
- Day 6 (11/1) 171.8 lb. Hmm I’m back to Day 1 weight, I suppose that’s ok and it’s not an overall gain and I have to accept that with 2 restaurant meals, and Halloween candy. I’ll take it as a maintenance week. Time to buckle down again!
- Day 7 11/02 171.8 lb. First week in the bag! Yesterday rode bike on Zwift for an hour, today did ParkRun (edging closer to my 50 milestone! Ate well today.
Week 2 - Down 2.8 lb- Day 8 11/03 170.6 lb Oh, the scale drama…anyway! I’m reading The Hungry Brain, and it’s so interesting. Just learned about “delay discounting” — basically, how much we value future rewards vs. right-now ones. Like in that classic marshmallow experiment where kids could eat one marshmallow immediately or wait for two. The kids who waited? They tended to make healthier choices as adults (roughly speaking!).
Another study had adults picture a happy, successful future self to resist temptation. So next time you’re eyeing the Halloween candy bowl, maybe channel Future You with superhuman willpower—or just grab one and call it research! - Day 9 11/04 170.6 lb. Yahoo!🎉 Two days in the 170’s. Ran 13k yesterday, just felt like a nice long run. Ate back some calories but overall kept it around 2000. Ate well today.
- Day 10 11/05 169.8 lb. I haven’t seen the 160’s in two whole years! I had a good calorie day yesterday so tried to recreate all the same foods today. Got derailed because I left my peanut butter and jam toast on the coffee table and when I came back I had a suspicious feeling the cat licked it. Upon close examination I’m pretty sure I could see a strip of jam missing and the texture was different, exactly the width of a cat tongue. Compost. Anyways, as long as I don’t have a huge snack before bed I should be ok for today.
- Day 11 11/06 170.4 lb Lousy day at work, went for a run to accomplish something of value. Ordered a giant fish burrito for dinner, logged it as 1000 cal.
- Day 12 11/07 170.6 lb 10% thru this challenge! flu and covid vaccines today, I've had fever and chills with prior ones so planned this one over the long weekend.[/color]
- Day 13 11/08 170.8 lb down and out with vaccine side effects
- Day 14 11/09 169.0 lb wow where’d this number come from?? craving comfort junk food due to feeling sick, but good thing is that I don’t have any at home. 2 week loss is 2.8 but I don’t expect the 169 to stick around tomorrow, sometimes i think my scale is pretty glitchy!
Week 3 - Up 1.2 lb- Day 15 11/10 169.8 lb Sunday long run 12.5km, made a half recipe blueberry muffins with splenda
- Day 16 11/11 169.0 lb Remembrance Day today
- Day 17 11/12 170.2 lb Eating has been ok, I track daily but the accuracy of it has always stumped me as I cook a lot from scratch. i’ve often thought it would be easier from a tracking perspective to eat packaged foods, the barcode scanner in MFP is just so handy. went to the gym today for some lower body strength. anytime I want to eat or snack when bored i come to this discussion group and read the posts, this has been so helpful.
- Day 18 11/13 171.0 lb Hopefully just some water retention from sore muscles. Been eating well, did some easy biking 45 mins
- Day 19 11/14 170.8 lb 5k run with hill drills. Foodwise I’m doing terrible with protein, I wish I could consume premiere protein or other high protein milks but dairy gives me terrible cystic acne. i have pea protein powders but they are kinda ick.
- Day 20 11/15 171.0 lb Have really been on a rollercoaster with the scale this week. My eating has been more nibbly than before, there's quite a few things making it to my mouth but not the tracker! Going to focus on tracking well this weekend.
- Day 21 11/16 171.0 lb End of week 3 down 0.8 from Day 1, not really what I was hoping for. Well at least I’ve been consistent with logging in each day! I’m determined to make more progress.
Week 4 - Down 0.8 lb from Day 1- Day 22 11/17 171.2 lb
- Day 23 11/18 171.8 lb Not letting this get me down! Trust the process
- Day 24 11/19 171.2 lb
- Day 25 11/20 171.8 lb
- Day 26 11/21 170.8 lb Food tracking going well, keeping the exercise up too. Scale doesn’t reflect it but feeling good and clothes fitting better
- Day 27 11/22 170.6 lb
- Day 28 11/23 171.0 lb Was feeling blah yesterday after a long day at work, just wanted to curl up on the couch and netflix. was scrolling this group and saw someone post how they rode their stationary bike. that instantly motivated me to hop on mine for a 45 min ride. that’s what i love about this challenge! i hope someone sees this today and decides to make a better food choice or get some movement.
Week 5 - Up 2.2 lb from Day 1- Day 29 11/24 173.4 lb Staying positive despite the scale, went out for dinner last night, had wine and split a dessert 3 ways. Brought half my entree home for lunch today. Did ParkRun yesterday and got my fastest time this year! I was still beaten by someone “power walking” and looked 20 years beyond my age LOL! Its a grey and rainy day here, going to finish my coffee and head to the gym for some strength.
- Day 30 11/25 173.2 lb Super sore from the gym, I’m telling myself I’m gaining muscle 💪
- Day 31 11/26 172.2 lb Busy week, not much time for exercise so trying to focus on healthy eating. I’ve also stopped drinking diet soda, not sure why because I love it but I think it was making me snacky and hungry. Switched to flavoured bubble water which is growing on me, esp the pineapple coconut flavour!
- Day 32 11/27 171.0 lb
- Day 33 11/28 170.6 lb
- Day 34 11/29 171.4 lb
- Day 35 11/30 174.0 lb
Week 6 - Down 2.2 lb from Day 1- Day 36 12/01 171.0 lb Gosh it’s been a busy several days and I have not had a moment to myself. I’ve been weighing each morning but haven’t had the time to update my posts. Well I’m a third of the way through this challenge and nowhere near where I thought I'd be. I’m not getting down about it and will just look back on the last few weeks as a learning experience. I’ve done a quite a bit of exercise, and this just reinforces what I already knew which is that exercise has no effect on weight loss (for me). Other benefits yes - but does not change the scale one bit. So, more focus on calorie deficit is needed! I ran 5k yesterday and 8k today, and tracked all my food so far. Going to have an apple as my after dinner snack. Congrats to everyone who is crushing it!
- Day 37 12/02 170.8 lb
- Day 38 12/03 170.0 lb
- Day 39 12/04 169.2 lb
- Day 40 12/05 170.6 lb In my mind I only missed posting a day or two, but obvs much longer than that. Work has been busy, trying to cram everything in before holidays…who says Dec is a slow month. Was ecstatic to see my weight drop into the 160’s again, albeit not for long. Its all good tho, still continuing to track my food. I really need to eat some protein, been snacking on too many carbs.
- Day 41 12/06 169.6 lb Yay another day in the 160’s!
- Day 42 12/07 169.6 lb
Week 7 - Down 2.8 lb from Day 1- Day 43 12/08 169.0 lb
- Day 44 12/09 170.0 lb
- Day 45 12/10 169.4 lb
- Day 46 12/11 DNW
- Day 47 12/12 169.0 lb Work is very stressful, and I constantly feel like I’m fighting a cold with a sore throat that comes and goes. Managed to get out for a run yesterday but otherwise have barely been going to the gym or stationary biking. I don’t beat myself up about it too much as long as I have my food under control. Sometimes by dinner I’m down to very few calories left but i try to reflect on where i went astray during the day and try to do better the next day.
- Day 48 12/13 168.2 lb Wow where did this come from!
- Day 49 12/14 169.0 lb Yep didn’t last long
- Day 50 12/15 169.2 lb Ran a total of 20km this week over 3 sessions, plus one stationary bike workout. Happy with my activity level. I have a gingerbread house kit that I put together on Friday. Ate a few of the candies plus one of the christmas tree cutouts hee hee! All in all I’ve been pretty good with treats the last few weeks.

I won't be posting until Friday. We are taking a much needed vacation for a few days. Going to beautiful white sand beaches tomorrow morning. My son can't come with us, so he'll be here with the dogs. So it will be a real break because we won't have the dogs with us:) Should be relaxing. See y'all when I get back!6
