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 backlashWeek 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: 150.0Week 3 Start Weight: 150.2
Week 3 Goal: Anything below 149
Week 3 Actual Weight: 149.0Week 4 Start Weight: 147.4
Week 4 Goal: 146.4
Week 4 Actual Weight: 150.6 : - (Day 29—03/04— 150.4 -
I am bound and determined to keep up the clear inulin fibre with B vitamins until it has been a month (the 11th). It bloats me terribly, almost immediately, which tells me that it is working? Idk. Day off today, then working 6 straight between 2 jobs. I must get some stuff done around home today since I am not going to have much time.
Not happy to be hovering around 150. I could easily be back at 200 pounds if I keep climbing. I was at 150 once before after losing 50 pounds and stopped tracking thinking that I knew the measurements, amounts etc. that I was consuming. I went right back to 200. I was at 130-ish for a full year, and was upset that I couldn't break into the 120s at that time. Yikes, so far from that now. For sure I will be tracking for life, and actually like doing it.Day 30—03/05— 150.6 - Well, I was trying to make it a full month with the added fibre supplement. Yesterday as soon as I had the first one I bloated up terribly within minutes. Very uncomfortable. I decided that since I am working the next 6 days in a row that I couldn't go on feeling like that. I have quit the extra fibre supplement, I will look at adding some things into my daily instead. I already eat a great deal of vegetables and one serving of fruit, but my fibre numbers definitely need a boost. I am going to try to add some grains and beans/legumes. That won't happen this week since I am pretty much prepped for the next 6 days. From what I have read about inulin it may take weeks to get it out of my gut. Today is day one of that.
My close friend was taking a fibre supplement years ago and I jumped on that bandwagon since she felt higher energy, clearer skin and stuff. She moved away 3 years ago and I stopped taking it. When we were on the telephone she asked if I was still taking it (she is) and I said that I wasn't, but that I would begin again. I don't remember it affecting me so dramatically the first time, but I am officially done with that and will find extra fibre somehow.
Day 31—03/06— 151.0 - Expected my weight to be wayyyy less this morning. Maybe a woosh coming?

100 Days of Weighing In #22 ^^^^^ February 4th 2025 thru May 14th, 2025

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.

[b][b][color=darkturquoise]Day 30[/b][/b][/color=darkturquoise]-03/05-[b][color=black]195.6[/b][/color=black]-(Trend weight [b]196.2[/b]) Wow! Yesterday was the best day I’ve had in Forever. Meals have been good but those snacks were so much better than they have been lately. I did try to slow down my eating but kept forgetting. I’ll keep working on that. My dinner was later (9:30 pm) so maybe that helped. I need to work harder on exercise and movement. I’m really trying to make a lot of changes that get me back in the game. I just wish the scale would have reflected how well I ate yesterday! “Good things come to those who wait”. I must remember that.
It looks like I managed the spoiler but all my BBC Code colors are showing but in black & white. At some point I will have to remove all of that until it is bland and with no personality. I am in several challenges, all with their own form. It will take me awhile so I apologize for the inconvenience. Also, the ticker is not showing. The HTML for bold is not working but it does have a button to bold.
Day 31 🌷-03/06-194.6-(Trend weight: 196.0) Finally the drop I was looking for! Another good day with meals AND snacks. I also continued to work on eating slower. I did well with my lunch but ate my dinner a bit too fast forgetting my goal. I’m still failing miserably on water intake and exercise. Knowledge is power, right? T-Minus 1.2 lbs with 8.8 to go by May 10th goal. QUESTION: I copy/paste my test for Microsoft Word on my Desktop. Do I have to re-bold and re-strike thru etc. EVERY SINGLE DAY? What is "Save Draft" next to the Post Reply button? I'm not understanding that if we save draft, how do we pull it back up for usage? Sorry, I'm old and not very tech savvy.

Week 4
Day 29 - 03/04 170.8 lb
Day 30 - 03/05 170.0 lb
Day 31 - 03/06 169.6 lb long run of 14k this past weekend, plus hills last night. increasing hunger so a bit hard to curb the eating. weight is fairly steady so that's not terrible.
Day 32 - 03/07 lb
Day 33 - 03/08 lb
Day 34 - 03/09 lb
Day 35 - 03/10 lbAbout me under the spoiler
Hello! Last round was my first 100 day challenge and my goal was to lose 0.5 lb/week for a total of 7 lbs. With several treat filled holidays, a week long work trip aka the all-restaurant-food diet, I think I did fairly ok-ish with a total loss of 2.5 lb.
For the next 100 days, I still have the MFP settings set to lose 0.5 lb/week, but to lose 7 lbs would require me to stick to it 100% which I don't think is feasible. I'm going to give myself a more realistic target and aim for 3-4 lb.
As for my strategy, well based on my age, gender and activity level my target calories are in the 1500-1600 range in order to lose that 0.5 lb/week. Not a whole lot of calories to be honest, but knowing this absolutely explains how easily I can end up in a calorie surplus or maintenance. So...all I have to do now is track :D easy peasy right?? I'd love to hear what other people's strategies are. Are you more focused on exercise? Following a specific eating plan?
Now on to the numbers:

I haven't posted in a couple of days. I've had a couple of 'weight up' days and 'mood down' days. Finally, worked out today for the first time in almost a week and I feel great. It reinforces for me that I need to exercise for my mental health even more than for my physical health.
My strategy:
1) exercise minimum of 5 days per week
2) walk every day
3) log my water — I drink it, I just don’t log it, so I need to better understand how much I’m actually drinking
4) be at a weekly average caloric deficit of at least 3500.

Loss this week: [b][color=green] 2.4 [/color][/b]
Loss this challenge [b][color=green] .4 [/color][/b]
3/4: 213.1 - DH asked what really helped me last year to lose weight … I told him salads for lunch at home and less bread/starches. He has a habit of wanting bread for breakfast, sandwiches or fast food for lunch and bread & pasta for dinner. So we are going to tackle this together … I said you can have all the bread you want but I’m going back to my habits last summer and try to lose another 15 lbs.
3/5: 212.9 - Lent goals should help! DH decided to give up alcohol for lent until our Japan trip. I told him we should also give up drive thru fast food since we have a bad habit of grabbing something quick.
3/6: DNW
3/7: 212.6 - 2 days of homemade salads for lunch … I’m headed in the right direction.
Copy and paste really was challenging today … lots of spaces and new lines when there is a return. hmmmm

Still not going in the right direction. Going to try to get through a weekend without going off the rails.
Does anyone know how I can get this to stop double-spacing when I try to enter another paragraph? TIA for any suggestions!

Week 2 Ending Weight: 150.0
Week 3 Ending Weight: 145.0
Week 4 Ending Weight: 146.8Day 29—03/04— 145.3. Short walk and a 45 min treadmill run. Food was slightly high. Happy to shed some of the excess water weight. I have a theory that energy drinks are making me bloated. I'm going to try to give them up for a week and see if my weight stabilizes a little.
Day 30—03/05— 145.3. Walks, but skipped the gym. I was super tired so decided to listen to my body and get some extra rest.
Day 31—03/06— 146.2. A short walk and a 5k treadmill run. Food was pretty good, with minimal stray snacking. Not sure why weight is up, other than plain old fluctuations.
Day 32—03/07— 146.2. A walk, no gym. Food was good. I've been really dragging this week. I think it's because of TOM. I haven't done as much running as I would have liked due to just not having the energy, and wanting to sleep instead. I'm hoping I'll feel a bit better next week.

Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxxThoughts 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.Previous Rounds Tallys:

Day 31 🌷-03/06-194.6-(Trend weight: 196.0) Finally the drop I was looking for! Another good day with meals AND snacks. I also continued to work on eating slower. I did well with my lunch but ate my dinner a bit too fast forgetting my goal. I’m still failing miserably on water intake and exercise. Knowledge is power, right? T-Minus 1.2 lbs with 8.8 to go by May 10th goal. QUESTION: I copy/paste my test for Microsoft Word on my Desktop. Do I have to re-bold and re-strike thru etc. EVERY SINGLE DAY? What is "Save Draft" next to the Post Reply button? I'm not understanding that if we save draft, how do we pull it back up for usage? Sorry, I'm old and not very tech savvy.

My strategy:
- exercise minimum of 5 days per week
- walk every day
- log my water — I drink it, I just don’t log it, so I need to better understand how much I’m actually drinking
- be at a weekly average caloric deficit of at least 3500. Tracking this with goal of 500 caloric deficit each day. Rounding calories out down to the next 100 and calories in up to the next 100 —> this is to account for inaccuracies on both and to achieve a conservative result.
Week 5Day 29 - 03/04 151.4lb did not exercise, walked, 8 glasses of water, Calories out 2083, calories in 1799, caloric deficit 200; score 2/4

About me under the spoilerHello! Last round was my first 100 day challenge and my goal was to lose 0.5 lb/week for a total of 7 lbs. With several treat filled holidays, a week long work trip aka the all-restaurant-food diet, I think I did fairly ok-ish with a total loss of 2.5 lb.
For the next 100 days, I still have the MFP settings set to lose 0.5 lb/week, but to lose 7 lbs would require me to stick to it 100% which I don't think is feasible. I'm going to give myself a more realistic target and aim for 3-4 lb.
As for my strategy, well based on my age, gender and activity level my target calories are in the 1500-1600 range in order to lose that 0.5 lb/week. Not a whole lot of calories to be honest, but knowing this absolutely explains how easily I can end up in a calorie surplus or maintenance. So...all I have to do now is track :D easy peasy right?? I'd love to hear what other people's strategies are. Are you more focused on exercise? Following a specific eating plan?

I tried to do a "quote" but I got all of @age_is_just_a_number's post, couldn't seem to just quote the part that I agreed with.
This new format is maybe a little less frustrating for me than for others since I never used any BBcode or anything like that. Today was the first day that I tried to use a "quote" since the changes. Sux!
Anyway, the post stating that exercise is more about mental health I totally agree with! Emotional health is really where I get my boost from exercise. Getting oxygen to the blood, brain, body parts…so important, so that is the physical benefit.
I had such an upsetting morning the other day when I found out that my new windows and doors were going to cost me 300% more than I thought. It...gutted me. I did a bunch of fun Fitness Marshall songs and it really helped me so much to get on with my day.
Let's all get outside today, even for 5 minutes.

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 backlashWeek 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: 150.0Week 3 Start Weight: 150.2
Week 3 Goal: Anything below 149
Week 3 Actual Weight: 149.0Week 4 Start Weight: 147.4
Week 4 Goal: 146.4
Week 4 Actual Weight: 150.6 : - (Day 29—03/04— 150.4 -
I am bound and determined to keep up the clear inulin fibre with B vitamins until it has been a month (the 11th). It bloats me terribly, almost immediately, which tells me that it is working? Idk. Day off today, then working 6 straight between 2 jobs. I must get some stuff done around home today since I am not going to have much time.
Not happy to be hovering around 150. I could easily be back at 200 pounds if I keep climbing. I was at 150 once before after losing 50 pounds and stopped tracking thinking that I knew the measurements, amounts etc. that I was consuming. I went right back to 200. I was at 130-ish for a full year, and was upset that I couldn't break into the 120s at that time. Yikes, so far from that now. For sure I will be tracking for life, and actually like doing it.Day 30—03/05— 150.6 - Well, I was trying to make it a full month with the added fibre supplement. Yesterday as soon as I had the first one I bloated up terribly within minutes. Very uncomfortable. I decided that since I am working the next 6 days in a row that I couldn't go on feeling like that. I have quit the extra fibre supplement, I will look at adding some things into my daily instead. I already eat a great deal of vegetables and one serving of fruit, but my fibre numbers definitely need a boost. I am going to try to add some grains and beans/legumes. That won't happen this week since I am pretty much prepped for the next 6 days. From what I have read about inulin it may take weeks to get it out of my gut. Today is day one of that.
My close friend was taking a fibre supplement years ago and I jumped on that bandwagon since she felt higher energy, clearer skin and stuff. She moved away 3 years ago and I stopped taking it. When we were on the telephone she asked if I was still taking it (she is) and I said that I wasn't, but that I would begin again. I don't remember it affecting me so dramatically the first time, but I am officially done with that and will find extra fibre somehow.
Day 31—03/06— 151.0 - Expected my weight to be wayyyy less this morning. Maybe a woosh coming?
Day 32—03/07— 149.6 - Not exactly a woosh, but I may have stopped gaining. All of that experimental insoluble fibre that I took sitting in my gut hopefully will go away within the next couple of weeks. Haha, I am on a new bandwagon now: 1/4 cup granola, 1/2-3/4 cup of fibre plain yoghurt - breakfast. Choked it down in the morning for 2 days, it is made and in a bowl in the fridge, I somehow have to get myself to eat it this morning. 21 days to a new (healthy) habit right? Next week I am going to try to incorporate some sort of legumes/beans for dinner in an attempt to get more fibre. (This weeks dinners were already prepped). I still eat loads of vegetables each day and a serving of fruit, but I have to up my grains for sure.

Good Afternoon!
Day 29—03/04— 173.2 - Got in a walk today, that's how nice the weather was. Looking forward to another walk tomorrow.
Day 30—03/05— 173 - Spent the day working in my crocheting. Did well with food. No walk today since the weather was a bit uncooperative. Hopefully tomorrow.
Day 31—03/06— 172.8 --Did more crocheting because it is bit of a blah day. Need spring....NOW!
Day 32—03/07— 172.6 - Still going down. Got in a little over a mile walk yesterday. The winds are terrible, but next week, temps are going up. Spring is almost here…and I can walk more. That will really jumpstart my loss.

I tried a quote. Let’s see what it looks like.

I consider myself very fortunate that my husband does all our shopping. Whenever I enter Costco, or any store for that matter, I find I’m extremely tempted to buy everything. I just keep saying to myself ‘is that going to help you get to your goals?’
The last time we were at Costco my husband wanted to buy this French Caramel Spread. We had it once before and it is absolutely heavily. I said “delicious but not nutritious”. Another customer heard me and laughed. We left it on the store shelf.
Overall, I find it a lot easier to leave unhealthy choices in the store, than to not eat them once they’re in the house.
I don’t know if I had to be in stores weekly if I’d get better or worse at saying no to things in the store.Here’s to wishing you strength at Costco.

I'm 36 years old, 5'3. SAHM to twin toddlers. I lost 8 lbs last round, and I'm hoping to lose at least 10 lbs this round.
Round 21 Ending Weight: 147.3
Round 22 Starting Weight: 148.3Week 1 Ending Weight: 148.9
Week 2 Ending Weight: 150.0
Week 3 Ending Weight: 145.0
Week 4 Ending Weight: 146.8Day 29—03/04— 145.3. Short walk and a 45 min treadmill run. Food was slightly high. Happy to shed some of the excess water weight. I have a theory that energy drinks are making me bloated. I'm going to try to give them up for a week and see if my weight stabilizes a little.
Day 30—03/05— 145.3. Walks, but skipped the gym. I was super tired so decided to listen to my body and get some extra rest.
Day 31—03/06— 146.2. A short walk and a 5k treadmill run. Food was pretty good, with minimal stray snacking. Not sure why weight is up, other than plain old fluctuations.
Day 32—03/07— 146.2. A walk, no gym. Food was good. I've been really dragging this week. I think it's because of TOM. I haven't done as much running as I would have liked due to just not having the energy, and wanting to sleep instead.
Day 33—03/08—145.8. No walk, 10k run at the gym. Food was on point. I felt much better and really enjoyed the run. I skipped the walks because we finally got a little bit of a winter storm. It rained and was quite chilly and windy. Too yucky to take my kids out in.

3/4: 213.1 - DH asked what really helped me last year to lose weight … I told him salads for lunch at home and less bread/starches. He has a habit of wanting bread for breakfast, sandwiches or fast food for lunch and bread & pasta for dinner. So we are going to tackle this together … I said you can have all the bread you want but I’m going back to my habits last summer and try to lose another 15 lbs.
3/5: 212.9 - Lent goals should help! DH decided to give up alcohol for lent until our Japan trip. I told him we should also give up drive thru fast food since we have a bad habit of grabbing something quick. AF=Alcohol Free
3/6: DNW Bike 30 AF
3/7: 212.6 - 2 days of homemade salads for lunch … I’m headed in the right direction. Bike 20 AF
3/8: 212.9 - Fried shrimp, hushpuppies and fries for lunch and cheese pizza for dinner are not going to help me lose this weight! AF still!
QUESTION: Why even with no BBC code is the copy and paste so messed up? It seems to have extra spacing and paragraphs on a line return which I removed some between the lines above before posting. Using my computer. Is it better on a phone interface?
