Mini challenge
Get outside each day for at least 5 minutes in whatever weather.
Anybody else willing to give it a try? Lol, with this new format I am not even sure how to do that! They don't even consult with users before implementing a Rich Text Editor from the 1990s?
Some days I have to run from one job to another, but I have 2 days of split shifts at the same place, so this should be easy for me the next 2.
Friday March 7 👍️
More than 5 minutes. I could have accepted a second job for the day, just didn't.
I didn't even get to skate on that this year, weather was too weird
When we see all of the snow come off of this little mountain it is time to plant tomatoes. A few more months maybe.
Getting outside did a lot for my emotional health.

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.
Day 33—03/08— 149.8 - This was 4:30am, and I expected to go back to bed, but I didn't, so I think that my weight would have been lower today. Glad I took the 1.5 seconds to weigh just in case I didn't get back to bed and started drinking water, coffee, etc. Which happened.
Day 34—03/09—
Day 35—03/10—
Week 5 Start Weight: 150.4
Week 5 Goal: ??
Week 5 Actual Weight:2 -
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
Day 30 - 03/05 151.7lb did not exercise, walked, did not track water, Calories out 2023, calories in 1927, caloric deficit 0; score 1/4
Day 31 - 03/06 151.2lb exercised, went for two walks, 9 glasses of water, Calories out 2826, Calories in 2203, Caloric deficit 500; score 4/4
Day 32 - 03/07 150.3lb exercised, walked, 10 glasses of water, Calories out 2609, Calories in 1891, Caloric deficit 600; score 4/4
cumulative calorie deficit for the week: 1300 —> behind on target to get to 3500, but got back on my exercise routine for the last two days and am already seeing the scale going back to where it was last week. I'll end up this week with an average weight higher than last week, but I know that is normal in a weight loss journey.
Day 33 - 03/08 149.7lb
Day 34 - 03/09 lb
Day 35 - 03/10 lb
Week Start 5 Weight: 150.0 (average of prior week daily weights)
Week 5 Goal: 149.0

thank you @age_is_just_a_number ! So I drive to Costco only to discover I forgot my wallet, right when I found a good parking space too. I drive home and also grabbed a protein bar since it was 1130am and I was feeling hungry. I think having that bar saved my trip, never shop when hungry. My one impulse purchase was a case of protein drinks Oreo flavour. First time buying this premier protein brand.
I’m with you in that I simply can’t have unhealthy choices at home, I have zero control. I like your delicious but not nutritious line, I will use that next time I’m talking myself out of Costco sized biscoff spread!

It is not better on the phone interface. Pasting seems to lose all formatting and is adding 'hard return' line spacing. Kind of annoying. I think we should post replies to their change announcement or put comments in the technical discussion category. That way MFP tech people might see it.

this is such a struggle on my phone, when I hit quote it zooms up to the top of the thread. Same with anytime I try to move my cursor or expand the quoted section. I keep having to scroll way down again to get back to the message box

I recently joined this 100 day challenge. I was scanning through the earlier posts and noticed your question. Yes, anyone can join the challenge. It is just like joining any MFP discussion group. Just post your goal and your daily weight and anything else related to how you are doing. We'd be happy to have you join at any time.

Of course, you can log a reply whenever it is convenient for you. We are all here to support each other. I hope everything is going well and that you'll provide us with an update and that you'll continue to provide a weekly entry.

Love the pictures. Also love the way you call them "little mountains". It is rare for me to not go outside everyday. We have a 126lb Newfoundland Dog. She requires a minimum of one 60 minute walk a day. We also go out with her in the backyard.
I'm in the Greater Toronto Area. We have a lot more snow that you have in those pictures. But with rain the last several days, it is melting fast.
My youngest son is in Huntsville. They have twice as much snow as us. Interestingly, in between here and there, we drive past Gravenhurst and Bracebridge, they have have twice as much snow as he has in Huntsville.

Yup - That is what is happening for me too. I've moved to my computer. I find the interface a little easier to navigate and I can type significantly faster on a keyboard.
When you do a quote on the computer, it takes you to the Leave a Comment box.
It does seem that it is not possible to parse out only the portion of the original post that you want to highlight. It is now all or nothing.

@age_is_just_a_number Oh How I Wish We Had a Costco near me!!!!
@dawnbgethealthy I'm not sure what program you used in Canada for your window & door upgrades. I assume now it was a loan program with zero interest or low interest loan? 300% is shocking!!!!! How did that happen if there is a contract? Yikes!!!! Also, I also tried to quote and remove the parts I didn't need and it did work. It puts in the entire conversation! I guess we will just have to do it like this:
re: your doors and windows price increase: Wow! I think the quote button will only be good if the post we are responding to is not very long.
@MUSCLES4HUSTLES Welcome to the group. It's Wonderful to have you here!

@deepwoodslady Becareful what you wish for. Costco can be a dangerous place. They sell everything from cucumbers to car tires. You go in for cucumbers and cheese and come out with a bicycle or patio furniture!
You have to have a lot of self control in Costco. Both from a healthy eating perspective (1kg (2 pounds) size bags of chips) and a financial perspective. They bring in road shows for a limited time, which creates a sense of urgency to buy now.

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

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 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.
Day 32 🌷-03/07-DNW-(Trend weight: DNW) Stayed on plan yesterday. It was a good day. Today is no-weigh Friday. Have a great weekend everyone!
Day 33 🌷-03/08-196.0-(Trend weight: 195.9) Weight up, trend down. My nephew spent the day with me yesterday and we went out to dinner. We were discussing what he could do work-wise to help further my reno project along. I should not have had dessert with my dinner. It was a moment of weakness. Otherwise, my meals were not too bad but probably loaded with the typical restaurant sodium. Today is hair appointments with DS and DGS and myself. I will take them out to dinner but will probably not eat until I get home. Nephew will come today to work on a project. I know that I will not always be perfect but I will be persistent. Back at it today.

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— [b]146.0 [/b] 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— [b]146.0[/b] 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— [b]146.8 (+ .8)[/b] 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— [b]146.5 (- .3)[/b] Fairly good day of eating yesterday. And I finally got a 60-min workout in.
Day 05—02/08— [b]146.4 (- .1)[/b] 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— [b]147.4 (+ 1)[/b] Weekends are hard. Will keep pushing thru tho. Go Eagles!
Day 07—02/10— [b]146.7 (- .7)[/b]

Total Challenge gain/loss to date (week 1): ↑ .7
Week 2
Day 08—02/11— [b]147.0 (+ .3)[/b] Typical post weekend upswing.
Day 09—02/12— [b]146.7 (- .3)[/b] Eating was fair, not horrible. Workout: 45-min cycling on the Peloton & 10-min. upper body toning.
Day 10—02/13— [b]147.0 (+ .3)[/b] 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— [b]148.1 (+ 1.1)[/b] Ugh! Short workout: knee strengthening exercises, core
Day 12—02/15— [b]DNW[/b]
Day 13—02/16— [b]DNW[/b]
Day 14—02/17— [b]147.8[/b] 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 3
Day 15—02/18— [b]147.8[/b] 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— [b]149.2 (+1.4)[/b] 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— [b]147.8(-1.4)[ [/b] 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— [b]DNW[/b]
Day 19—02/22— [b]DNW[/b]
Day 20—02/23— [b]DNW[/b]
Day 21—02/24— [b]146.7[/b] 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.

Day 23—02/26— [b]146.9[/b] Eating was just ok yesterday. Had some unhealthy snacks. No exercise. Note to self: do not self sabotage.
Day 24—02/27— [b]147.3 (+ .4)[/b] Ugh! I deserve this increase.
Day 25—02/28— [b]DNW[/b] 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— [b]146.9[/b] Ate less yesterday and got a workout in. All good things.
Day 27—03/02— [b]DNW[/b] Forgot to weigh again. A puppy is hard work! Haha. Ate well yesterday though so there’s that!

The BBC codes are available if you highlight the word you want affected.
Clicking on the 'paragraph sign' at the side is 'interesting'. Perhaps that's where 'quoting' is accessible.
5’ 2” senior from B.C., Canada. Not a great fan of winter so anxiously waiting for the weather to lighten up so I can get out hiking, then by the end of this challenge hope to be biking and kayaking. Have goals other than to just lose weight!

Good Afternoon!
@Lilylady3k , no....its the same on a phone. I miss the preview function, too.
@age_is_just_a_number , Costco brings out the worst in me...lol! I have to be careful, too.
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.
Day 33—03/08— 173.2 - Today will not be an active day. I have to do an at home medical thing....won't go into details. And this is supposed to be the last day of colder weather...thank goodness!

That's gotta be water weight. I've over-indulged for weeks, staying the same weight or gaining some, so it's essentially like I'm just starting a diet, and the first week of dieting usually results in a significant loss. So it's not sustainable, but it's a good sign, and if I stick to it I'll lose a pound or two a week.

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.
Day 34—03/09— 146.8. Long walk, no gym. Food was a touch high. Ended the day with a beer.

Thanks for the response. I agree they need to do something about the hard return. Took all the BBC code out of my personal copy so it pastes a little cleaner but still there is SOOOOoooooo much spacing! Annoying.

@dawnbgethealthy - Love your pictures!!! I can't believe the snow is melting and you were not able to skate much at all this year. Hopefully you'll have lovely opportunities to hike in the near future.
I'm game for getting outside. Yesterday I worked in the yard … very different weather down here in Houston! My azaleas are budding and will be blooming soon. Cleaned out the veggie bed, weeded other flower beds and thinking about planting again. I love going to the plant nursery … DH says I waste my money though because everything just burns up in the summer heat. But I will try yet again for a few months of beautiful blooms and cherry tomatoes that the grand babies can pick!

🎯 Not in the right frame of mind to lose weight. Reminder to self … last year for our April cruise I was wearing size 18 jeans. My go to clothing for cruises had to be updated! This year I took in my favorite pants at the waist and bought size 16 jeans/pants for our cruise! I also fit in a little black dress that has been sitting in my closet for years and bought a new purple dress for the dressier nights on the cruise.
3/1:213.1
3/2: DNW
3/3: 212.3
Loss this week: - 2.4
Loss this challenge - .4
[/spoiler]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 - Yesterday fried shrimp, hushpuppies and fries for lunch and cheese pizza for dinner are not going to help me lose this weight! 20 min bike plus yard work. AF still! Much better food day.
3/9: 211.1 - Healthy snacking carrots & hummus before lunch then no snacks in the afternoon & evening paid off.
3/10:
Gain / Loss this week:
If anyone figures out how to get rid rid of the hard returns when doing a copy paste please let me know!!!
Took all the BBC code out of my personal version so it is a little cleaner again. I think I figured out spoiler finally so that I could hide most of it again.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
