The new mattresses are being delivered on March 31st so it BETTER be before then. I don't know if the bathroom will be done by then, but I think so since most of the "big" things have been completed. But boy, oh, boy, the devil really is in the details!

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.

CURRENT WEEK:
Day 43 🌷 —03/18—194.8 (Trend weight: 193.4) I expected an increase due to the various typical travel reasons but HOLY COW! My son chose Golden Corral for dinner. Every single thing I put in my mouth tasted like the lid fell off the salt shaker. I could only eat a few bites of each thing due to the saltiness but it adds up apparently. Honestly, I think the main problem was that I spent too much time at the dessert bar. Coupled with all the sitting as it was a very long day trip (not home until well after dark), I shouldn’t expect anything less than what I got. Today will need to be a banner day. Prayers and excitement for our Astronauts returning home this evening! Let’s hope for an uncomplicated re-entry and splash landing!
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 Day 44 🌷 —195.0 03/19—(Trend weight: 193.5) I just couldn’t get enough food yesterday. Usually it’s self-sabotage but not this time. It really was INCREDIBLE hunger which usually signifies that my glucose levels are way up. The severe hunger and cravings are usually the biggest indication of diabetes problems. Also thirst. Probably a layover from the dessert table at Golden Corral on Monday. Especially since I forgot to take my diabetes meds with me. I’m sure, unmedicated, that my numbers skyrocketed. Higher numbers also affect fat storage and much much more. It’s a complicated process and I really don’t need to be putting myself through this. I ate a lot of starchy foods that also turn to sugar in the body due to the carbs (bread, potatoes etc.) so double whammy! It will probably take a few good days to get back in sync. It just sux. I’ll be monitoring my glucose numbers much more closely over the next few days.

Good Afternoon, All!
Day 43—03/18— 173 - Got myself back on track. I can get that pound off and more, if I try. Yesterday, my urologist suggested I try Mounjaro. Not sure....will have to think about it and talk to my Endocrinologist.
Day 44—03/19— 172.2 - Nice to see a bit of a loss. Really determined to get out of the 170's. Need to get more salad fixings. Going to watch the Phillies/Yankees game today and do some chores....plenty to do.

About me and previous weeks 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?

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 43, Tue 85.0 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $291. Average food intake is 7253 kilojoules.
Another kilogram lost
I'm not losing weight particularly quickly. So I'm giving myself a challenge. How many days in a row can I eat below 6,000 kilojoules? I think I've achieved about 12 days in the past. The challenge starts on Thursday. I'm also giving myself a food 'rule'. Sausage and chips only allowed when I do laundry (once every 14 days). Basically I just like it too much.
Day 44, Wed 85.2 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $308. Average food intake is 7245 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

Loss this week: - 2.4Loss this challenge: - .43/4: 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 - YYesterday 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. No longer AF.
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.
3/15: 211.6 - Yesterday took a long walk with my 3 yr old granddaughter to play at the park but it did not cover the calories in crawfish étouffée for lunch and then fried fish shrimp French fries as the rodeo last night. Back to more normal routines today!
3/16: DNW - Bike 30 min
3/17: 210.8 - Book Club at Mexican restaurant tonight. Looking up the menu and planning to be careful around the chips and salsa! Planning to bike daily before our cruise. Bike 20 min.

3/19: 210.4 - Book Club this evening at another restaurant plus I broke my rule and ate drive through fast food hamburger and fries for lunch.

Week 7 Actual Weight:3 -
My tweaked strategy:
- exercise minimum of 5 days per week —> exercise before breakfast.
- 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. —> To achieve this focus on keeping daily calories at 1600/day. Approach to tracking remains unchanged: 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 7
Day 43—03/18— 148.8 ⬇️ - exercised before breakfast, 8 glasses of water, calories out 2296, calories in 1481, caloric deficit 700, score for the day 5/5
Day 44—03/19—148.8 - did not exercise, walked, did not track water, calories out 2264 (but I didn’t have my Fitbit on while vacuuming and mopping floors, so I’m going to round up today), calories in 2287 (we went to a matinee followed by a 7 course tasting menu dinner with wine pairing - delicious), caloric deficit 0 ( better than a surplus), score for the day 1/5.

@the_reflex re “I'm also giving myself a food 'rule'. Sausage and chips only allowed when I do laundry (once every 14 days). Basically I just like it too much.” I love this strategy. It is kind of like habit stacking in reverse. It also reinforces a positive attitude to a relationship with food.

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 43 🌷 —03/18—194.8 (Trend weight: 194.4)
Day 44 🌷 —195.0 03/19—(Trend weight: 194.5) I just couldn’t get enough food yesterday. Usually it’s self-sabotage but not this time. It really was INCREDIBLE hunger which usually signifies that my glucose levels are way up. The severe hunger and cravings are usually the biggest indication of diabetes problems. Also thirst. Probably a layover from the dessert table at Golden Corral on Monday. Especially since I forgot to take my diabetes meds with me. I’m sure, unmedicated, that my numbers skyrocketed. Higher numbers also affect fat storage and much much more. It’s a complicated process and I really don’t need to be putting myself through this. I ate a lot of starchy foods that also turn to sugar in the body due to the carbs (bread, potatoes etc.) so double whammy! It will probably take a few good days to get back in sync. It just sux. I’ll be monitoring my glucose numbers much more closely over the next few days.
🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 Day 45 🌷 —03/20—195.2 (Trend weight: 194.6)I had a horrible eating day yesterday with all bad choices. I’m surprised the weight did not go up more. I’ll have to watch the scale the next few days to see if it catches up. I’m not trying to make excuses, it’s in the science. This Type 2 diabetes is kicking my butt lately. The hunger and the cravings (very common symptoms) are through the roof. I am quite sure that the better I get my glucose under control, the better those symptoms will be. To lose weight, those symptoms have GOT TO improve but it seems impossible. Like I’m running in circles chasing my own tail. First step, get the glucose numbers down and everything else will become normal struggles with possibilities! I know how this works. I’ve got to get back in the game and play to win!

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.
Friday March 14 - 4 times around the "park" path, so a glorious hour outdoors. Totally renewed my spirit.
Saturday March 15 - I got up to the park again during my split shift break. I plan to do the same today. Tomorrow possibly 2 different jobs, if so I won't get a break in between.
Sunday March 16 - Nice walk twice around the park path. It really restores me and stretches everything out.
Monday March 17 - Twice around the park during my break on my split shift. My pedometre usually shows 100 calories burned during this (although I am not doing it for that reason) but it was only 80 calories for some reason.
Tuesday March 18 - Didn't make it up to the park, very windy. I walked over to the post office and was out in my yard, so I got my 5+ minutes outside. Wednesday and Thursday I run from one job to the next, so outdoor time is limited to a few minutes here and there out the back alley of my day job.
Wednesday March 19 - I don't think that I got outside at all!!!!

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 6 Goal: 147.4
Week 6 Actual Weight: 149.4 - hit 148.6 onceDay 43—03/18— 149.6 - sucks when the weight goes up at the start or end of the week eh? Day off today finally, but not a whole lot of energy. I have been working 6 days a week for a couple of weeks. No bites on job applications that I have made yet.
Day 44—03/19— 149.2 - I spent my day off doing the usual: laundry, cleaning, errands. I also took the time to put Cerumol into my one ear and stay laying with it upward 3 times for it to penetrate. I wear a hearing aide, so this happens sometimes. Over the past week it has been getting blocked, but I didn't have the time to spend to do this until yesterday. I think that the last time that I had to do it I did the prescribed 3 days in a row. Otherwise one can go to the doctor and get it blown out but I didn't have an appointment.
Day 45—03/20— 150.2 - SOB!!!

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
I'm not losing weight particularly quickly. So I'm giving myself a challenge. How many days in a row can I eat below 6,000 kilojoules? I think I've achieved about 12 days in the past. The challenge starts on Thursday. I'm also giving myself a food 'rule'. Sausage and chips only allowed when I do laundry (once every 14 days). Basically I just like it too much.
Day 44, Wed 85.2 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $308. Average food intake is 7245 kilojoules.
Day 45, Thu 86.2 kg, exercise is same as Day 1. Food overspending is $296. First day of being below 6000 kilojoules eaten.

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 45 🌷 —03/20—195.2 (Trend weight: 194.6)I had a horrible eating day yesterday with all bad choices. I’m surprised the weight did not go up more. I’ll have to watch the scale the next few days to see if it catches up. I’m not trying to make excuses, it’s in the science. This Type 2 diabetes is kicking my butt lately. The hunger and the cravings (very common symptoms) are through the roof. I am quite sure that the better I get my glucose under control, the better those symptoms will be. To lose weight, those symptoms have GOT TO improve but it seems impossible. Like I’m running in circles chasing my own tail. First step, get the glucose numbers down and everything else will become normal struggles with possibilities! I know how this works. I’ve got to get back in the game and play to win!

🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 Day 46 🌷 —03/21—194.2 (Trend weight: 194.5) Spring break started today for DGS in school so I did not have to get up early for the bus and was able to weigh-in at a normal decent time. I had a good day yesterday on the food-front, but exercise was still non-existent. There’s so much more room for improvement for me on this journey. When I’m on, I’m on. But when I’m off, well….. Time to get back on the bandwagon. I can't believe we are almost to the half-way point in the challenge! Oh boy!

Day 43—03/18—146.2(+ .6) I really need to get back to working out consistently.
Day 44—03/19—145.4(- .8)
Day 45—03/20—145.1(- .3) Got a workout in yesterday! Yay!! Eating was ok. And now the big question of the morning… What’s for dinner?
Day 46—03/21—143.9(-1.2) Feeling great about this whoosh! I had a solid day of eating yesterday – kept my carbs and refined sugar in check. Dinner was vegetarian, so it was light and not too heavy before bed. For my after-dinner snack, I had Greek yogurt with a little honey, along with an apple banana. I also got in a good workout, focusing on upper body weights, abs, and some cardio.

Good Evening Everybody!
@dawnbgethealthy , that's a good challenge! I did it today....takes me that long to get my trash to the dumpster, pick up my mail and walk back to my apartment. The weather is getting cold again which keeps me from long walks.
Day 43—03/18— 173 - Got myself back on track. I can get that pound off and more, if I try. Yesterday, my urologist suggested I try Mounjaro. Not sure....will have to think about it and talk to my Endocrinologist.
Day 44—03/19— 172.2 - Nice to see a bit of a loss. Really determined to get out of the 170's. Need to get more salad fixings. Going to watch the Phillies/Yankees game today and do some chores....plenty to do.
Day 45—03/20— 173 - I feel bloated ttoday. Not sure what's up....at least I know its not a women's issue...ha, ha.
Day 46—03/21— 173.6 - Still feel blah. I hate getting old....you have good days and then not so good. Sigh…I sure hope tomorrow's better.

🎯 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: - 2.4Loss this challenge: - .43/4: 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 - YYesterday 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. No longer AF.
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.
3/15: 211.6 - Yesterday took a long walk with my 3 yr old granddaughter to play at the park but it did not cover the calories in crawfish étouffée for lunch and then fried fish shrimp French fries as the rodeo last night. Back to more normal routines today!
3/16: DNW - Bike 30 min
3/17: 210.8 - Book Club at Mexican restaurant tonight. Looking up the menu and planning to be careful around the chips and salsa! Planning to bike daily before our cruise. Bike 20 min.
Gain / Loss this week: 1.9
Loss this challenge: 2.5
🎯 Capturing my lows finally on my official weekly weigh in! Wondering iff I can break through the 210 before our trip and then stay out of the 210s with all the challenges ahead.3/18: 210.1 - Now if it would just go below 210!!! No exercise. AF
3/19: 210.4 - Book Club this evening at another restaurant plus I broke my rule and ate drive through fast food hamburger and fries for lunch. Bike 30 min.3/20: 211.5 - See yesterday … yep expected the scale to jump up after eating out twice yesterday and getting up at 4am to weigh in. Oh well. And then I top it with another day of fast food and then creamy pasta, bread and salad in the evening.
3/21: 212.9 - The scale is killing me but it is my fault … the last 2 days of poor food choices. Found out a friend passed away by googling her name (she has been sick for the past year) wondering why she had not responded to my email earlier this month. Turns out she passed away and the memorial is Monday evening. This hit me hard especially since I’m attending a memorial service today for another friend.
I'm sabotaging myself … eating my feelings. I know this and need to stop now!
