    My Name is Donna, Age 64. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
    Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.2
    Goal This Round: 182.2 (12 pounds)
    Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx

    Thoughts at the start of this round:
    Approximately this time last year (Challenge #15) I began to slowly gain weight throughout the rest of my winter and well into my Spring. I am still battling some of those pounds as we start this new challenge. This is a new opportunity to prove to myself and my family that I AM serious about getting healthier. I know I have bad eating disorders that bring about horrible eating habits. I also battle cravings because I haven’t gotten away from sugar or chocolate long enough to stop the cravings. I have such a long way to go and only a sketchy road to get there but I’ll never give up on myself or lose faith in my strength or my resolve. I’ll admit that I’m not super confident that I will ever be in the 140’s again (my ultimate goal), but I AM 100% confident that I will shed these 190’s like a bad dream and NEVER weigh this much again. I don’t know when this will happen exactly. But I do know that it will. Thanks for sharing my journey and letting me travel with you on yours.

    Day 25-02/28-197.8-(Trend weight 196.1) Normally a no-weigh Friday because of the early rise and medication changes on Fridays. However, I decided to weigh today because it’s the final day of my monthly challenges. So weight is after 3 hours of sleep. Scale is the same as the last time I stepped on it. After the travel day Wednesday, I guess I shouldn’t be too awful mad. What I am mad about is that (according to my monthly challenges) I gained 6.6 lbs in February. And Feb is the shortest month of the year!!!! Boy, do I ever have my work cut out for me. Anyway, after weighing I got my DGS on the bus at 7:15 and then the snow began to fall. Winter in Michigan, beautiful but l…o…n…g. Tomorrow is the funeral for my friend. You can tell I am getting old because there have been too many goodbyes.

    Day 26-03/01-196.4-(Trend weight 196.4) My power was out until 8:00 am this morning so there was no sleep because I had no C-Pap machine. I tried but to no avail. Finally slept from 8:00 am until 11:00 am and I’m not in very good shape for the funeral this afternoon. My oldest DD will be attending with me. It is frigid cold but sunny, bright and beautiful otherwise. My friend Diane would have loved seeing the birds happily flitting around in play this morning. This was a tough round. Coming down on the scale 1.4 lbs overnight helped to keep my gain at just 0.6 lbs for the round. This is 3 rounds in a row with some sort of gain. I need to get on a losing streak now. Great job to all for hanging in there and for the many accomplishments I’ve seen from you this round. See you tomorrow in the next one.

    @dawnbgethealthy Why are you concerned about not eating breakfast? Some people call skipping breakfast ‘intermittent fasting’.
    I’m a firm believer in eating when you are hungry.

    @dawnbgethealthy Why are you concerned about not eating breakfast? Some people call skipping breakfast ‘intermittent fasting’.
    I’m a firm believer in eating when you are hungry.

    Hi.
    Well, when I don't get my metabolism/furnace fired up in the morning I seem to gain weight.
    I am never hungry during the daytime. I always take fruit to work, and that is pretty much the extent of my eating and that doesn't happen until around 2pm. So I began last month having like 1/2 slice of toast or something in the morning to get my body/metabolism moving.

    Sundays (day off) are a different story. I normally have eggs and stuff, but not until noon and I get up fairly early. No kickstart to my day, but much more food than usual for the daytime.

    I guess that it is all experimentation for us all, as to what works for out individual bodies. It looks like if I eat just a little something before work that I lose weight, when I don't I gain weight? Lol, who knows, work in progress for sure!

    Hi everyone.
    I am Dawn, 64 years old, I live in SE BC Canada
    I'm not sure how many rounds of this 100 that I have done, but quite a few. I first joined this thread at 198 pounds.
    I was sitting at 130 pounds in 2021, working very hard to get into the 120s (ugw 110-118)
    The weight that I am currently at is very hard on the joints in my knees, ankle, and feet.


    Week 1 Start Weight: 149.6
    Week 1 Goal: 146.6 - The start weight of the previous 100. Putting that it each week until I hit it
    Week 1 Actual Weight: 151.2 - Superbowl backlash

    Week 2 Start Weight: 150.6
    Week 2 Goal: The start weight of the previous 100. Putting that it each week until I hit it
    Week 2 Actual Weight: 150.0

    Week 3 Start Weight: 150.2
    Week 3 Goal: Anything below 149
    Week 3 Actual Weight: 149.0

    Day 22—02/25— 147.4 - Normal eating and Fitness Marshall yesterday, but many more steps due to being very busy in the restaurant. Very happy to see a drop!! I feel like walking is the key to weight loss. If I get that desk job I am going to be in trouble! Right now I am getting paid during the time that I am doing most of my walking. Otherwise there wouldn't be enough time in the day to get in 13k+ steps, it is many hours.

    Day 23—02/26— 151.4 - 4 pound gain overnight??? Normal eating, lots of activity.

    Day 24—02/27— 151.0 - 3rd day of no breakfast, I have to get back to that to get my metabolism going for the day.

    Day 25—02/28— 150.2 - Rushing. I read everyone's posts, I will fill in my numbers and comments in the evening/after work.

    Day 26—03/01— 149.6 - No breakfast as of yet, going to finally get my hair dyed, my appointment was cancelled and then I couldn't take any of the ones that she offered because of work. I basically took the day off of work today so that I can get some of this white disguised. Completely don't feel like having even a 1/2 slice of toast this morning. The hair place is 1/2 block from here, so I don't mind walking up the street with foils and a cape on. I will try to get some sort of food in me during that 1/2 hour when the dye is sitting on. I had been doing so well with choking something down in the mornings. I know that I have to get back to that, but I can't seem to.

    Day 27—03/02— 150.6 - No breakfast yesterday, plus I had chicken wings for dinner. I am actually okay to see a gain if I actually did something to cause it.

    Day 28—03/03—

    @dawnbgethealthy They say that if we will eat something in the morning, we will eat less later during the day. I haven't tried it as I am very used to naturally intermittent fasting as I'm not hungry in the morning. I just want the coffee. But I may try it when my life settles down a bit. They say to try to include some fiber (maybe in the type of toast?) and some protein in there each morning (maybe a yogurt, or boiled eggs to take on the run?) It will be interesting to see your experiment with this. When I can, I may try it too.

    Good Afternoon! Hoping you all have a restful Sunday!

    Day 22-- 02/25 - I forgot what I weighed

    Day 23—02/26— 175.2 - Yesterday was a bad day....depression, eating wrong. Today has to be better!

    Day 24—02/27— 175.8 - Another not so good day....nuff said.

    Day 25—02/28— 174 - Yesterday wasn't too bad. I think the worst thing I had was bread. Today not sure what's on the menu....could be spaghetti, could be stew. We'll see.

    Day 26—03/01— 174.2 - Yesterday was a frustrating day except I didn't eat badly.

    Day 27—03/02— 173.8 - Gotta eat some of the food in the freezer that's been in there since Christmas. Not the most carb friendly but in moderation, it should be ok. I can't afford to waste food.

    Teri, 61, 5’4”

    Challenge Starting Weight: 146 lbs
    Challenge Goal Weight: 140 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbs

    During this challenge I hope to prioritize self-care by being mindful of what I nourish my body with and committing to regular physical exercise for my overall well-being.

    Day 01—02/04— 146.0 Starting this challenge out with a whoosh. Focused on progress not perfection and staying on track as much as I can. 🤞 🤞

    Day 02—02/05— 146.0 No increase. So relieved. A bit of unhealthy snacking last night, but the rest of the day went well. No exercise.

    Day 03—02/06— 146.8 (+ .8) Carby dinner last night. No exercise either. Will be extra busy the rest of the month (full-time job, part-time job, prepping the house for a puppy, tax preparation, off-island trip, etc) which will hopefully be a distraction for mindless eating.

    Day 04—02/07— 146.5 (- .3) Fairly good day of eating yesterday. And I finally got a 60-min workout in.

    Day 05—02/08— 146.4 (- .1) A bit surprised this morning. I thought for sure I’d be up at least a pound after the carby/sugary evening I had last night, plus wine. I ate healthy earlier in the day tho. Maybe it’ll show up on the scale tomorrow... not that I want it to. Lol Excited for the Super Bowl tomorrow!

    Day 06—02/09— 147.4 (+ 1) Weekends are hard. Will keep pushing thru tho. Go Eagles!

    Day 07—02/10— 146.7 (- .7)


    Week 1 Start Weight: 146.0
    Week 1 Goal: 145.0
    Week 1 Actual Weight: 146.7

    Total Challenge gain/loss to date (week 1): ↑ .7

    Week 2

    Day 08—02/11— 147.0 (+ .3) Typical post weekend upswing.

    Day 09—02/12— 146.7 (- .3) Eating was fair, not horrible. Workout: 45-min cycling on the Peloton & 10-min. upper body toning.

    Day 10—02/13— 147.0 (+ .3) I was hungry all day yesterday. Ate mostly good stuff and nibbled on not so good stuff. BUT I know all in all, I overate. I need to stick to not eating anything until after 12 noon. Workout: lower body, core, short Peloton ride.

    Day 11—02/14— 148.1 (+ 1.1) Ugh! Short workout: knee strengthening exercises, core

    Day 12—02/15— DNW

    Day 13—02/16— DNW

    Day 14—02/17— 147.8 So busy this past weekend with our new 8-week old puppy named Kaya. No time to think about healthy meals or exercise, and with very little sleep. I know it’s just temporary until we get a solid routine going. I’ll still try my best to do better this week taking care of myself. Will be off-island this weekend so no scale.

    Week 2 Start Weight: 147
    Week 2 Goal: 146
    Week 2 Actual Weight: 147.8

    Total Challenge gain/loss to date (week 2): ↑ 1.8

    Week 3

    Day 15—02/18— 147.8 Eating yesterday was better than on the weekend, but still could use improvement. Lack of sleep with new puppy. 1.5 Hours of exercise. I hope to see a drop tomorrow. Don’t want to go on my trip this Thursday with so much inflammation weighing me down. lol

    Day 16—02/19— 149.2 (+1.4) I was hoping for a whoosh but not in the opposite direction. LOL Need to get a handle on my eating habits, but I’m not sure I believe the scale this morning. Core & lower body workout yesterday.

    Day 17—02/20— 147.8(-1.4)[ Ate a little better yesterday and got a work out in. I really need to get rid of this inflammation, and now to be mindful on my 3-1/2 day out of town trip.

    Day 18—02/21— DNW

    Day 19—02/22— DNW
    Day 20—02/23— DNW
    Day 21—02/24— 146.7 This drop is hard to believe but I’ll take it. Enjoyed my long weekend getaway, especially the meals. Maybe it was all the walking we did that kept my weight at bay.

    Week 3 Start Weight: 147.8
    Week 3 Goal: 146.8
    Week 3 Actual Weight: 146.7

    Day 24—02/27— 147.3 (+ .4) Ugh! I deserve this increase.

    Day 25—02/28— DNW Forgot to weigh. Was so busy with puppy shenanigans first thing in the morning. Didn’t get a chance to workout yesterday either. Disappointed.

    Day 26—03/01— 146.9 Ate less yesterday and got a workout in. All good things.

    Day 27—03/02— DNW Forgot to weigh again. A puppy is hard work! Haha. Ate well yesterday though so there’s that!

    @dawnbgethealthy They say that if we will eat something in the morning, we will eat less later during the day. I haven't tried it as I am very used to naturally intermittent fasting as I'm not hungry in the morning. I just want the coffee. But I may try it when my life settles down a bit. They say to try to include some fiber (maybe in the type of toast?) and some protein in there each morning (maybe a yogurt, or boiled eggs to take on the run?) It will be interesting to see your experiment with this. When I can, I may try it too. [/quote]

    Having a little something in the morning makes me hungry lol. Otherwise I am never hungry during the day. Does feeling hungry mean that I am losing weight whilst hungry lol :D
    I don't know Donna. But I feel like getting the digestive juices going seems right for me.
    Like you, I have a belly full of coffee before anything : - )

    Hi everyone.
    I am Dawn, 64 years old, I live in SE BC Canada
    I'm not sure how many rounds of this 100 that I have done, but quite a few. I first joined this thread at 198 pounds.
    I was sitting at 130 pounds in 2021, working very hard to get into the 120s (ugw 110-118)
    The weight that I am currently at is very hard on the joints in my knees, ankle, and feet.


    Week 1 Start Weight: 149.6
    Week 1 Goal: 146.6 - The start weight of the previous 100. Putting that it each week until I hit it
    Week 1 Actual Weight: 151.2 - Superbowl backlash

    Week 2 Start Weight: 150.6
    Week 2 Goal: The start weight of the previous 100. Putting that it each week until I hit it
    Week 2 Actual Weight: 150.0

    Week 3 Start Weight: 150.2
    Week 3 Goal: Anything below 149
    Week 3 Actual Weight: 149.0

    Day 22—02/25— 147.4 - Normal eating and Fitness Marshall yesterday, but many more steps due to being very busy in the restaurant. Very happy to see a drop!! I feel like walking is the key to weight loss. If I get that desk job I am going to be in trouble! Right now I am getting paid during the time that I am doing most of my walking. Otherwise there wouldn't be enough time in the day to get in 13k+ steps, it is many hours.

    Day 23—02/26— 151.4 - 4 pound gain overnight??? Normal eating, lots of activity.

    Day 24—02/27— 151.0 - 3rd day of no breakfast, I have to get back to that to get my metabolism going for the day.

    Day 25—02/28— 150.2 - Rushing. I read everyone's posts, I will fill in my numbers and comments in the evening/after work.

    Day 26—03/01— 149.6 - No breakfast as of yet, going to finally get my hair dyed, my appointment was cancelled and then I couldn't take any of the ones that she offered because of work. I basically took the day off of work today so that I can get some of this white disguised. Completely don't feel like having even a 1/2 slice of toast this morning. The hair place is 1/2 block from here, so I don't mind walking up the street with foils and a cape on. I will try to get some sort of food in me during that 1/2 hour when the dye is sitting on. I had been doing so well with choking something down in the mornings. I know that I have to get back to that, but I can't seem to.

    Day 27—03/02— 150.6 - No breakfast yesterday, plus I had chicken wings for dinner. I am actually okay to see a gain if I actually did something to cause it.

    Day 28—03/03— 150.6 - Argh. Really good day yesterday food/exercise wise. This week has been such a bust for me wight wise!!

    Week 4 Start Weight: 147.4

    Week 4 Actual Weight: 150.6 : - (

    Good Morning!

    Day 22-- 02/25 - I forgot what I weighed

    Day 23—02/26— 175.2 - Yesterday was a bad day....depression, eating wrong. Today has to be better!

    Day 24—02/27— 175.8 - Another not so good day....nuff said.

    Day 25—02/28— 174 - Yesterday wasn't too bad. I think the worst thing I had was bread. Today not sure what's on the menu....could be spaghetti, could be stew. We'll see.

    Day 26—03/01— 174.2 - Yesterday was a frustrating day except I didn't eat badly.

    Day 27—03/02— 173.8 - Gotta eat some of the food in the freezer that's been in there since Christmas. Not the most carb friendly but in moderation, it should be ok. I can't afford to waste food.

    Day 28—03/03— 172.8 - Wow....made goal! Went out for breakfast and had scrambled eggs and a short stack (but no toast or potatoes). I haven't had pancakes in probably a year and I had a craving so I gave in and it will probably be another year before I have them again.

    Week 4 Start Weight: Don't know
    Week 4 Goal: 173
    Week 4 Actual Weight: 172.8

    100 Days of Weighing In #19 ^^^^^ February 4th 2025 thru May 14th, 2025

    weight.png

    “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: : 194.2
    Goal This Round: 182.2 (12 pounds)
    Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
    Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx

    Thoughts at the start of this round:
    Approximately this time last year (Challenge #15) I began to slowly gain weight throughout the rest of my winter and well into my Spring. I am still battling some of those pounds as we start this new challenge. This is a new opportunity to prove to myself and my family that I AM serious about getting healthier. I know I have bad eating disorders that bring about horrible eating habits. I also battle cravings because I haven’t gotten away from sugar or chocolate long enough to stop the cravings. I have such a long way to go and only a sketchy road to get there but I’ll never give up on myself or lose faith in my strength or my resolve. I’ll admit that I’m not super confident that I will ever be in the 140’s again (my ultimate goal), but I AM 100% confident that I will shed these 190’s like a bad dream and NEVER weigh this much again. I don’t know when this will happen exactly. But I do know that it will. Thanks for sharing my journey and letting me travel with you on yours.

    Day 27-03/02-195.4-(Trend weight 196.5) Day 2 of no heat in my house. In Northern Michigan that’s dangerous! When power went out Friday night and came back on Saturday morning I didn’t realize it had done something to my furnace. Auto ignition of pilot just won’t work. It comes on but then goes right back off and nothing but very cold air blowing out of ducts. I had to shut it off at the fuse box and turn the gas off to make sure it would not build up gas so it would quit trying to run and warm it up in here. My thermostat has no “off” and the house is colder than the lowest selection so it just kept running. Because I was at the funeral service and dinner until after dark last night, I didn’t realize my house wasn’t getting any heat. Last night was night two of freezing to death. These little ceramic space heaters are only spot heaters so they are not warming up a room, but at least I can stand within 2 feet of them and feel some relief for myself and the cat. They are very tiny but I have 2 of them. Not much help in a 3200+ sq foot house! Of course it’s Sunday and I’m in a very rural area where nothing would ever be open on Sunday’s except the churches. No big box stores here anyway! So I’ve got my 30 year old nephew coming over who’s pretty handy. He has changed out thermo couplers and such in the past. He works as a handyman in the area, but mostly ships off to Oregon to work. Thankfully he’s home right now and will come look at it this morning. I hope he can fix it. He thinks that when the power came back on it may have pushed through some sediment that has to be cleaned. We will not be able to get any parts until tomorrow if we need something new. Fingers crossed for me please. Thank you all for the kind words about my friend Diane. She was beautiful yesterday.

    Day 28-03/03-195.4-(Trend weight 196.4) I know what I did under the veil of darkness last night (snack-wise) so I am happy with my weight staying the same. My trend weight even dribbled down a bit. I also know I need to increase my exercise. My lack of true movement has been ridiculous. I’m not making excuses, but I spent a lot of time in the past months just sitting (or laying down) with my friend Diane as she bravely fought her cancer. She’s in heaven now and it’s time for me to refocus. I still feel ready to do that, even after more emotional eating last night. I am grateful for MFP and all the support from all of you here. My actions need to better reflect that. My BHAG (Big Hairy-*kitten* Goal) looms front & center. { I pirated BHAG from another challenge and MFP friend.) Bring it on! I can do better than just staying exactly the same after 7 full days. I hate just being stagnant but I’m grateful for no gain. It’s been an especially rough week!
