    Hi everyone.

    I am Dawn. I live in SE British Columbia Canada. I am 5'2" (or 5'3"?) and 64 years of age. I have done a bunch of these 100s now, I have lost count lol. I was sitting at 130 for quite awhile, trying desperately to get into the 120s, but gained little by little over the last couple of years. My "ideal" weight should be between 110-118 for my height, BMI, and stuff. At this point I just really want to get back into the 130s.

    Week 1 Start Weight: 144.4

    Week 1 Goal: 142.4 (seems lofty, but I was at 143.0 for two days in a row at the end of the last 100)

    Week 1 Actual Weight: 144.2- Hit 142.6 this week, the day before the end of our week, which was so close to my goal.

    Week 2 Start Weight: 143.2

    Week 2 Goal: 142.4 - Trying for the same goal as last week

    Week 2 Actual Weight: 143.0 (Once in 100 days Ribs eaten, hit 142.2 this week)

    Week 3 Start Weight: 143.6

    Week 3 Goal: 141.8

    Week 3 Actual Weight: 139.6 - Hit 139.0 this week

    Day 22—06/05— 139.6 - Same weight 3 days in a row. Going on day 3 of no poops, so hoping for a woosh soon. This is unusual for me since I consume so many vegetables and some fruit. I normally go 2-3 times per day. Or maybe my body is just not wanting weight loss so is holding on to everything to turn it into fat lol. (TMI I know)

    Day 23—06/06— 139.0 - Day 10 of 35 days without a day off. I was scheduled for a split shift at the Indian restaurant today. I asked (begged) to work 11-6 instead of 11-3 and 5-8, and got it. If we don't ask we don't get right? 6pm NHL Stanley Cup final game 2, Edmonton/Florida. A rematch of last year, where Florida won the whole thing in 7 games. Yes, we have TVs at Spice Hut (unlike my job at the other restaurant), but I like to pause, rewind, and watch in pjs or the like. Fake beer (40 calories per can) is chilling in the fridge : - )

    Day 24—06/07— 139.6 - Holding on to the 130s by my fingernais! Changed it up a bit last night, I had Konjac angel hair "pasta" with a bit of chicken, 1/4 cup shredded parmesan, 2 tbsp sour cream, with some of my own raw garlic on the top. I went out with a bowl into my garden and came back with lettuce, mint, and dill for a salad to accompany my alfredo. Delish. Turns out that the granola that I was using in my tracker didn't include the fibre. I got rid of that one and added the one that has the same nutrition as is on the box. I am always fighting for more fibre in my diet. Cherries is my snack at work each day now until they are finished, then back to strawberries. (both have fibre)

    Yesterday was a pretty typical day for me calorie and exercise output wise. I do tend to average around 1200 calories per day. The "if every day was like today" thing. If only, that would be awesome!

    Good Day!

    @deepwoodslady , I have to admit to missing Golden Corral...I used to take my kids there when they were young. I used to go to Old Country Buffet before they closed....and before I started my weight loss, of course. But I will still go to Asian buffets...I can have all the crab legs I want and not do any real damage to my weight.

    Day 22—06/05— 169.6 - Today was meatball day...47 meatballs! They smelled great....tasted great, too ! Plenty of future meals. Really going to try to get to that 169 mark this week.

    Day 23—06/06— 170.6 - National Donut Day....guess what I WON'T be eating?

    The wound from my tumor removal was bleeding, so I decided to leave it open to the air instead of putting Aquaphor on and covering it...it will probably heal faster. Its looking better after the last 18 hours.

    Day 24—06/07— 169.6 - I skipped meatballs yesterday and will again today. I had an apple for breakfast and will have steak, baked potato and green beans for dinner. Not sure about lunch yet. It's a grey, rainy weekend…bleah.

    Hi everyone.

    I am Dawn. I live in SE British Columbia Canada. I am 5'2" (or 5'3"?) and 64 years of age. I have done a bunch of these 100s now, I have lost count lol. I was sitting at 130 for quite awhile, trying desperately to get into the 120s, but gained little by little over the last couple of years. My "ideal" weight should be between 110-118 for my height, BMI, and stuff. At this point I just really want to get back into the 130s.

    Week 1 Start Weight: 144.4

    Week 1 Actual Weight: 144.2- Hit 142.6 this week, the day before the end of our week, which was so close to my goal.

    Week 2 Start Weight: 143.2

    Week 2 Goal: 142.4 - Trying for the same goal as last week

    Week 2 Actual Weight: 143.0 (Once in 100 days Ribs eaten, hit 142.2 this week)

    Week 3 Start Weight: 143.6

    Week 3 Goal: 141.8

    Week 3 Actual Weight: 139.6 - Hit 139.0 this week

    Day 22—06/05— 139.6 - Same weight 3 days in a row. Going on day 3 of no poops, so hoping for a woosh soon. This is unusual for me since I consume so many vegetables and some fruit.

    Day 25—06/08— 140.6 - 1 lb up. Never happy about a jump on the scale unless it is warranted. However, I know that fluctuations are normal. Somebody reminded me that Asparagus season is just about over, so I went to the Farmer's Market before work yesterday and got 2 big bunches. I had some along with dinner last night. Yum! I have developed some sort of big lump on the side of my foot that I noticed in the bath last night. I will have to get in to see my doc some time this week. I do have foot problems because of being on my feet and running around waitressing every day. I know that losing weight would help me immensely. Really working on that. Got to keep plugging with the work thing. My plan is to cut back to 4 days a week in January of 2026. Meanwhile, heading into day 12 of 35 without a day off today. I will get the garden watered this morning before I go, and hopefully some weeding and other stuff.

    Thanks @dawnbgethealthy! But, I had gained a bit over 12 pounds in 7 weeks between the 7th of April until the day I found and started this challenge on May 26th. So, back in early April I was in the lower 190s. I knew I had to do something serious to turn that “stress eating binge fest” around. I’m so disgusted with what I did, but couldn’t find a way to stop or turn it around. Being conscious of trying not to go there again and trying to get back into the 190s as a motivator helps. But, usually I’ll get to the lower 190s and then lose motivation again. We’ll see if I can keep at it for the rest of this 100 day challenge and then continue into the next one.

    BTW - you’re doing GREAT!!!

    . Hi. I’m an unretired (by choice) senior from central B.C., Canada. Back for another round. After being an absolute backsliding turtle for the past ?18 months, my Ultimate challenge goal is to lose 20lbs.

    SW: 181.8 ; GW: 161 ; UGW 140

    Week 1: 178.6

    Week 2: 180.8 ( +2.8) Need to be more resilient when dealing with a lot of moody people

    Week 3: 179 ( - 1 )

    Week 4:

    Day 22 ~ 06/05: 179 yard project 75% finished. Road trip to Kamloops; packed lunch etc but forgot utensils ☹ so off plan.

    Day 23 ~ 06/06: 180.8 Here we go again. Shoveled sand until ds (dear son) arrived and took over; paddled 90 minutes then shoveled a bit more after dinner. Slept well!!

    Day 24 ~ 06/07: 178.2 Happy dance. Not a lot accomplished before heading in to work.

    Day 25 ~ 06/08: 179.2 Stayed close to “on plan” yesterday(27/23 WW pts) but broken sleep; awake from 1;45 to 5! Then slept in so morning’s shot. Expect work to be chaotic this afternoon (kitchen ‘issues’) plus dh (dear husband) is baking sourdough buns so hoping I can resist temptations.

    Day 26 ~ 06/09:

    Day 27 ~ 06/10:

    Day 28 ~ 06/11:

    Week 4 Wt Change: 179 - ___

    Good Evening....hope y'all had a nice weekend!

    @age_is_just_a_number , thank you! The meatballs were a project, but my SO acted as my sous chef.....I don't like the chopping and grating. As for the wound, its looking better....I hope that continues.

    Day 22—06/05— 169.6 - Today was meatball day...47 meatballs! They smelled great....tasted great, too ! Plenty of future meals. Really going to try to get to that 169 mark this week.

    Day 23—06/06— 170.6 - National Donut Day....guess what I WON'T be eating?

    The wound from my tumor removal was bleeding, so I decided to leave it open to the air instead of putting Aquaphor on and covering it...it will probably heal faster. Its looking better after the last 18 hours.

    Day 24—06/07— 169.6 - I skipped meatballs yesterday and will again today. I had an apple for breakfast and will have steak, baked potato and green beans for dinner. Not sure about lunch yet. It's a grey, rainy weekend…bleah.

    Day 25—06/08— 169.6 - Had a tuna sandwich for lunch and spaghetti with meatballs for dinner....and a granola bar for dessert. And that will be it for food....no snacking. I may have a diet Snapple.

    This weekend was definitely better than last weekend. I managed to stay out of the red zones. I didn't have to eat out, so that helped immensely. Exercise is going well. I'm feeling more limber and am sleeping better.
