100 day Challenge #22 February 04.25 – May 14.25

Lilylady3k · March 13

@dawnbgethealthy The picture is inspiring me to want to paint mountains again. Love the view of the Canadian Rockies and the small town. Thinking of you while I garden. I'm keeping it simple since I know I'll be out of town during the summer a bunch and everything will burn up in the Houston heat. But enjoying gardening and the outdoors while I can this spring.

love the drawing. great work!

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 6

Day 36—03/11— 150.8 ⬆️ did not exercise, walked, did not log water, calories out 2141, calories in 2344, caloric deficit (300), score for the day 1/4 —> not a great start to the week! but my weight this morning is a little down, so I think taking a few days off from exercise helps my body recovery. I also stayed active yesterday by cleaning windows and vacuuming.

Day 37—03/12— 149.9 ⬇️ exercised, walked, 8 glasses of water, calories out 2088, calories in 2036, caloric deficit (100), 3/4 score for the day

cumulative caloric deficit for the week (400) —> ah, that's a surplus, but the scale has gone down.

I was expecting my weight this morning to be higher and was pleasantly surprised by the drop. I know daily fluctuations are normal. I started this morning with an hour walk before breakfast. I feel great and think I should do this every day.

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.

Saturday March 08 - 15 minutes on that same path as the day before. Planning it again during my break today, it is the only place where it isn't spring muddy, it is paved.

Sunday March 09 - Ditto to Saturday, 15 minutes on the path around Idlewild lake during my break.

Monday March 10 - only a few minutes here and there out the back alley of work, smoking witt the chefs. Still nice to be outside looking up at the sky. Got my 5 minutes. Tuesday I won't be wearing shoes after my pedicure, so I will at least aim to sit on my steps or out on my porch in the fresh air.

Tuesday March 11 - Only about 7 minutes in my flip flops with fresh polish on my toes. It got quite cool out. Wednesday and Thursday I run from one job to another, so only if I have time to go into the back alley at my first job will I get outside.

I once posted a photo of the small mountain. This town is surrounded by the Rockies on one side and the Purcells and Selkirks on the others.

We do have big mountains here.

A photo of my town from where I was getting my feet done yesterday:

Wednesday March 12 - Probably only like 7 minutes out the back alley of my first job of the day, smoking with the Red Cross guy from a few doors down and chatting. So hard for me to get outside on certain days even though I really want to. Some day I will retire, but not for a couple of years, and then I can be outside way more. Today will be ditto to yesterday, and then I have split shifts where I certainly have time to walk a short trail during my break.

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

Week 4 Start Weight: 147.4
Week 4 Goal: 146.4
Week 4 Actual Weight: 150.6 : - (Week 5 Start Weight: 150.4
Week 5 Goal: end the fibre supplement
Week 5 Actual Weight: 149.6

Day 36—03/11— 149.4 - 6 work days last week and this week, but today off : - ) I am heading up to Jimsmith Lake for my pedicure. She is a nurse and a massage therapist, I really need her today!

Day 37—03/12— 150.0 - Sob.

Day 38—03/13— 150.4 - No sobbing, since I had delicious spaghetti and meatballs and salad…and wine. If I eat something "good" and gain, I am okay with it. And by good, I mean a high calorie treat. I remember Julia Louis Dreyfus on the red carpet and the interviewer was remarking on how she always manages to stay slender and asked her what she eats to stay that way. She said "nothing good!!". When asked like what, she said Chicken Fingers, that she would rather eat chicken fingers lol.

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 36 🌷 —03/11—194.6-(Trend weight: 196.2)

Day 37 🌷 —03/12—193.6-(Trend weight: 195.9) ) I made an amateur mistake yesterday. Due to a few hours of obligations & errands I did not eat my first meal, lunch, until 5:00 p.m. Dinner is usually around 7:30 or 8:00 but I wasn’t yet hungry. So I thought, “Wow, I can probably just skip dinner then and maybe have a better scale reading tomorrow." I had pre-logged in the morning so when I got hungry around 10:30 or 11:00 I went straight to my snacks because that is usually when I eat them. (I stay up very late). I ended up overeating snacks going above & beyond what I had pre-logged because I was starving by then. Why, oh why did I not just eat my dinner instead even though it was later than normal? Am I not adaptable to changed situations? Or am I THAT addicted to my snack foods which serve as treats to me? The dinner food would have been more fulfilling and healthier! In retrospect, I think I should have grabbed a snack in the afternoon while running (almonds or such) and skipped it last night choosing my dinner instead. I’m glad to see a 1 lb drop today on the scale, but this is NOT the way to do it. I must admit, all those snacks were not within plan or healthy. I remained under calories due to missing the meal but I’m sure the carbs were WAY over. Lesson learned.

🍀🍀🍀 Day 38 🌷 —03/13—193.8-(Trend weight: 195.7) Just a normal fluctuation today. Yesterday was a good day with everything in place. Going for another one today. I got a new computer installed yesterday along with new monitor and extras. Suddenly much of my information from the past week was missing from my word documents I use for MFP. Frustrating that it had to happen during the new MFP formatting on top of it all. I’m chasing down my numbers by reading backwards on my previous posts for the past 7 days. Ugh! I do want to keep a record of the numbers! We are experiencing unseasonable temps in my neck of the woods lately. Perhaps spring is really just around the corner. We usually get our last fleeting snow in May every year. The weather really lifts the spirits!

the_reflex · March 14

Day 1, Tue 87.2 kg, looking in the mirror I would describe myself as being about 40% obese and 60% overweight. I’ll update that on Day 50. I’m not sure how much I can lose because I don’t know what my current rate of exercise and diet produce. I guess I’ll find out in a few weeks. Using an app to track my food. I’m aiming for an average of 6,000 kilojoules. I’ll post how much I’m spending on food because I’m using this challenge to train myself to keep to a food budget. $800 for the whole period. Today I had a splurge and spent $37.16. I ate 9,889 kilojoules so that’s my average so far. At the gym I ran 5 minutes at 5.5 km/hr, 5 minutes at 5.4 and 20 minutes at 5.3. For the last 10 minutes I’m starting to notice how hot I am.

Day 2, Wed 87.7 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, it only gets harder at the start of a new month. Food spending $3.70 so I'm averaging $20.43 per day, average daily food intake is 7741 kilojoules.

Day 3, Thu 88.0 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 7011 kilojoules and average food spending is $14.85

Day 4, Fri 87.2 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 6780 kilojoules and average food spending is $13.39.

Day 5, Sat 86.9 kg I had a 5 kilometer run in a park, timed, average food intake is 7222 kilojoules and average food spending is $13.

Day 6, Sun 86.7 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 7027 kilojoules and average food spending is $12.28.

Day 7, Mon 87.0 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 6950 kilojoules and average food spending is $11.28. I need to eat less, starting Wednesday I'm giving myself a challenge: eat below 6000 kilojoules until my average is 6000. I'm allowed to break that challenge if I get a new personal best time on my Saturday runs.

Day 8, Tue 86.5 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake 6994 kilojoules and average food spending is $10.93.

Day 9, Wed 87.5 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 6859 Kilojoules and I'm $51 overspent on my food budget. I'm doing a little challenge of eating below 6000 kilojoules and I've completed one day successfully.

Day 10, Thu 86.6 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, average food intake is 6767 kilojoules and I'm $43 overspent on my food budget. 2 days of my little challenge to eat below 6000 kilojoules. I'm allowed to break that challenge for when I get a new personal best time on Saturday's runs, as well as February 20 and 1st Wednesday in March.

10 days - how is it going? I've lost 0.6 kilograms which is alright. I just need to eat less a little bit more often.

Day 11, Fri 86.6 kg so I only use treadmills at the gym which have emergency stop cord, so that means I can only use one treadmill. The other 3 have broken clips. It was being used when I arrived and also after my shower so I used the elliptical instead. I did 30 minutes at the highest setting with an average pace of 15:50. The next time I use that I'll aim for 15:45. My food spending is $35 over budget. My average food intake is 6696 Kilojoules. Still doing my little challenge to reduce my intake - 3 days.

Day 12, Sat 86.8 kg exercise I had a 5 kilometer run in a park (with 930 other people) and I had a personal best time on that route. Apparently I'm increasing by 4.9 seconds per week. I had a celebratory sugarfest. My average food intake is 6928 kilojoules and my food spending is $55 over budget. I chose a arbitrary average food intake of 6000 kilojoules at the start of this challenge, it's a bit slow so I'm now going for 5900 kilojoules average food.

Day 13, Sun 86.6 kg exercise is the same as Day 1, my food spending is $47 over budget and my average food intake is 6833 kilojoules.

Day 14, Mon 87.4 kg, exercise is the same as Day 1, my food spending is $39 over budget and my average food intake is 6769 kilojoules. The good news is that I've been losing weight for 9 weeks. The bad news is that my weigh loss is rather slow. I'm comfortable doing it at this rate but I want to speed things up. I want to get my average intake to 5900 kilojoules and I'm giving myself a small challenge - get down to 5900 kilojoules average in 28 days or less and I can have a sugarfest.

Day 15, Tue 87.0 kg, exercise was 30 minutes on the elliptical, pace 15:45. The next time I use that I want it to be 15:40. Food overspending is $40. Average food intake is 6727 kilojoules.

Day 16, Wed 87.2 kg, exercise was 30-40 minutes walking. Food overspending is $40. Average food intake is 6747 kilojoules.

Day 17, Thu 86.4 kg, exercise was same as Day 1, food overspending is $37, average food intake is 6965 kilojoules.

Day 18, Fri 87.4 kg, exercise was same as Day 1, food overspending is $45, average food intake is 6951 kilojoules.

Day 19, Sat 87.5 kg, exercise was a 5 km outdoor run (I had a personal best time on that route), food overspending is $64, average food intake is 7129 kilojoules.

Day 20, Sun 87.2 kg, exercise is same as Day 1, food overspending is $77, average food intake is 7001 kilojoules.

20 days - how is it going? I'm losing weight (10 weeks in a row) but I'm eating too much, my weight loss is too slow. I'm also spending too much but I've figured out what I can eat which is low cost and also beneficial to my eczema - green peas. My eczema has reached a point where it's keeping me awake at night.

Day 21, Mon 87.1 kg, exercise is same as Day 1, food overspending is $73, average food intake is 6886 kilojoules.

Day 22, Tue 86.6 kg, exercise is 30 minutes on elliptical, average pace is 15:40, the next time I want my pace to be 15.38. Food overspending is $68 and average food intake is 6800 kilojoules.

Day 23, Wed 86.4 kg, exercise is same as Day 1, food overspending is $64 and average food intake is 6720 kilojoules.

Day 24, Thu 85.8 kg, 30 minutes on the elliptical, the energy estimator on that is massively off, so I'm just going to call it 230 units. Next time I want to do 235. Food overspending is $92. Average food intake is 6817 kilojoules.

Another kilogram lost

Day 25, Fri 86.5 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $88. Average food intake is 7100 kilojoules.

Day 26, Sat 86.3 kg, exercise is a 5 kilometer parkrun event. Average food intake is 7160 kilojoules. Food overspending is $130.

Day 27, Sun 86.0 kg, exercise is 241 units on the elliptical. Food overspending is $130. Average food intake is 7155 kilojoules.

Day 28, Mon 86.4 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $159. Average food intake is 7213 kilojoules.

Day 29, Tue 87.7 kg, exercise is the same as Day 1. Food overspending is $154. Average food intake is 7202 kilojoules.

Day 30, Wed 87.9 kg, exercise is 250 units on the elliptical. Food overspending is $149. Average food intake is 7176 kilojoules.

Day 31, Thu no scale, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $167. Average food intake is 7205 kilojoules.

Day 32, Fri 86.3 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $162. Average food intake is 7181 kilojoules.

🎯 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

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 - Yesterday healthy snacking carrots & hummus before lunch then no snacks in the afternoon & evening paid off. Bike 20. AF

3/10: 212.1 - Today gardened and an evening walk. AF

Gain / Loss this week: -.2

Loss this challenge: -.6

🎯 Better frame of mind. Salads most days for lunch and no fast food has helped. Trying to be a little more active to prepare my knees for all the stairs and walks in Japan.

3/11: 212.4 - WALKED 2 MILES! Yeah me. Got outside and enjoyed the walk. Planted pot at the back door. I loved walking around the family owned rural garden center yesterday … it is heaven to me to see all the blooming plants and very hard to decide what to buy when I’m limiting myself in order to have less yard work. 7th day of AF!

3/12: 211.6 - Didn’t do it yesterday so today … Planning at home PT today and the bike! Need to keep this in my routine! I also want to prep my veggie garden soil before my 3 yr old granddaughter comes over tomorrow. Grocery shopping, sitting down to watercolor paint and read my book club book … this month it is science fiction 'Starter Villain' by John Scalzi. I didn’t get to paint until 6:30-8:30pm but I completed my entire list of to dos! AF

3/13: 210.8 - Yesterday bike 30 and PT. Turned and amended the soil in the veggie garden. Bought some premade salads when grocery shopping to help with lunch when I don’t feel like making one. Today I biked 30 min before my busy day kicked in! Met my DIL and my sister for lunch. Picked up granddaughter age 3 to stay over for the night. We went plant shopping … lots of different cherry tomatoes. Granddaughter and I planted all the herbs, tomatoes and flowers in my veggie bed, watered them with her can then turned on the sprinklers and she played in the sprinklers! DH bought wine so not AF but I did limit mine to 1 glass.

3/14: 210.6 - Taking care of granddaughter today, made lunch already so I can spend time with her … crawfish étouffée! DIL and her mom (visiting from out of town) are coming for lunch then we plan to go shopping in a historic district. Houston Rodeo tonight. With all the walking at the rodeo I might count that as my exercise. Not sure what this evening out with friends will look like with food and drink … but I’ll definitely buy at least a water bottle.

Week 6 Actual Weight:

age_is_just_a_number · March 14

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 6

Day 36—03/11— 150.8 ⬆️ did not exercise, walked, did not log water, calories out 2141, calories in 2344, caloric deficit (300), score for the day 1/4 —> not a great start to the week! but my weight this morning is a little down, so I think taking a few days off from exercise helps my body recovery. I also stayed active yesterday by cleaning windows and vacuuming.

Day 37—03/12— 149.9 ⬇️ exercised, walked, 8 glasses of water, calories out 2088, calories in 2036, caloric deficit (100), 3/4 score for the day

I was expecting my weight this morning to be higher and was pleasantly surprised by the drop. I know daily fluctuations are normal. I started this morning with an hour walk before breakfast. I feel great and think I should do this every day.

Day 38—03/13— 149.0 ⬇️ did not exercise, went for two walks, drank 8 glasses of water, calories out 2355, calories in 2137, caloric deficit 100, 2/4 score for the day

cumulative caloric deficit for the week (300) —> still a surplus for the week

I didn't go for a before breakfast walk this morning, but I did go outside with my dog. Our house backs on a little park, which always has some garbage in it. I often go out and pick up the garbage and I did that this morning. The garbage typically gets there by the wind on recycling day. While picking up I get a bunch of squats in, fresh air and a sense of accomplishment. Not the most glamorous activity, but it really makes me feel good.

Day 37 - 03/12 168.6 lb
Day 38 - 03/13 DNW lb
Day 39 - 03/14 169.0 lb Just sort of hovering, that might be these theme of this challenge round. I'm ok with that as I'm making progress in other areas like managing my binge eating, sugar cravings. I'm definitely getting more protein and overall much more active due to run training. Once this training block is over I'll get more serious about maintaining an accurate calorie deficit. I enjoy reading everyone's progress! Way to go!

About me and previous weeks 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?

I love that ritual that you do on recycling day. Fresh air, a sense of accomplishment, and movement : - )

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.

Saturday March 08 - 15 minutes on that same path as the day before. Planning it again during my break today, it is the only place where it isn't spring muddy, it is paved.

Sunday March 09 - Ditto to Saturday, 15 minutes on the path around Idlewild lake during my break.

Monday March 10 - only a few minutes here and there out the back alley of work, smoking witt the chefs. Still nice to be outside looking up at the sky. Got my 5 minutes. Tuesday I won't be wearing shoes after my pedicure, so I will at least aim to sit on my steps or out on my porch in the fresh air.

Tuesday March 11 - Only about 7 minutes in my flip flops with fresh polish on my toes. It got quite cool out. Wednesday and Thursday I run from one job to another, so only if I have time to go into the back alley at my first job will I get outside.

Wednesday March 12 - Probably only like 7 minutes out the back alley of my first job of the day, smoking with the Red Cross guy from a few doors down and chatting. So hard for me to get outside on certain days even though I really want to. Some day I will retire, but not for a couple of years, and then I can be outside way more. Today will be ditto to yesterday, and then I have split shifts where I certainly have time to walk a short trail during my break.

Thursday March 13 - Ditto to Wednesday, no time in between jobs. Today I am not taking the 3rd job, I am just going to go up to the path that is paved and have a nice walk.

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

Week 4 Start Weight: 147.4
Week 4 Goal: 146.4
Week 4 Actual Weight: 150.6 : - (Week 5 Start Weight: 150.4
Week 5 Goal: end the fibre supplement
Week 5 Actual Weight: 149.6

Day 36—03/11— 149.4 - 6 work days last week and this week, but today off : - ) I am heading up to Jimsmith Lake for my pedicure. She is a nurse and a massage therapist, I really need her today!

Day 37—03/12— 150.0 - Sob.

Day 38—03/13— 150.4 - No sobbing, since I had delicious spaghetti and meatballs and salad…and wine. If I eat something "good" and gain, I am okay with it. And by good, I mean a high calorie treat. I remember Julia Louis Dreyfus on the red carpet and the interviewer was remarking on how she always manages to stay slender and asked her what she eats to stay that way. She said "nothing good!!". When asked like what, she said Chicken Fingers, that she would rather eat chicken fingers lol.

Day 39—03/14— 149.6 - Not enjoying the clocks change. I like extra light in the morning, not at what will become 10:30pm on June 21st. Kind of a shake up at job #1 last night that I found out about after job #2. I feel like I might need to make some changes.
