In the evenings I crave something cold, smooth and creamy with a bit of a sugary taste … aka, ice cream etc.
Well have found the magic solution!!
1 tub 0% fat Greek yogert, with 1/2 pkg chocolate pudding (sugar free) mix + frozen raspberries etc. I use a mixer, then refrigerate it. Keeps well just in the frig or some can be frozen. {**if seems too thick, then add 1 or 2 small containers of sugar free flavored yogert}
Satisfying and filling. WW says "0" points but I watch my portion sizes, and sometimes log it as a "1" or "2".

Week 3 Ending Weight: 144.3
Week 4 Ending Weight: 144.1Day 29—06/12— 143.4. Another stressful day, where I just didn't feel like eating much. There's just a lot going on right now. Long walk. No gym, I fell asleep on the couch around 8pm instead.
Day 30—06/13—141.6. Wow, what a drop. I feel a lot less bloated. Food was good, walk but no gym.
Day 31—06/14— 141.9. Food was okay, but lazy day- no walk or run. I'm planning to get a lot done this weekend. Chores and errands, as well as a couple of long runs, healthy grocery shopping and meal prep.

This is moving so slowly. I'm adjusting my food calorie goal from 1600 to 1500 because the first couple of weeks were better because of that goal. Have a great day, everyone.

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
Week 4 Start Weight: 139.6
Week 4 Goal: 138.0
Week 4 Actual Weight: 141.8, saw 139.0
Day 29—06/12— 141.2 - Down a touch from yesterday. Power went out downtown and I almost got out early from my second job, then it came back on. 19 more days now until 1 day off. I can do it : - ) 2 jobs today.
Day 30—06/13— 140.6 - Rushing this morning.
Day 31—06/14— 140.6 - I was home from work just after 6pm and worked in the garden until almost dark out. I opted for hummus and water crackers + the last of my fresh asparagus from last week's farmer's market for "dinner". So glad that I got the asparagus while it was at the end of the season. Weighed quite early this morning, no bathroom trip as of yet. I do feel leaner this morning, but the scale doesn't reflect it. Burned more calories than I took in yesterday including hours in the yard, fitness marshall, plus always lots of steps waitressing. The "in 5 weeks" comment always just teases me. My calories in are usually somewhere between 1100 and 1200. Missed breakfast completely yesterday trying to get things done in the morning before work since I have zero days off to get stuff done. Stanley Cup playoffs game 5 tonight, surely I burn some calories with all of the anxiety of that lol. I had better add some beans to whatever I am going to have for dinner later, my Fiber intake could be better. They do help with protein, but pretty much all protein elevates the Fat column.
Tracker from yesterday….

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
250’s💋-- 240’s🎵-- 230’s🐸-- 220's📘-- 210's-- 200's🎨--Thoughts at the start of this round:
My goal from the very beginning has been to lose one pound per week for a total of 12 pounds per challenge. I have never considered that to be too much and I never thought in a million years I would find it this difficult, even at my age and with my health problems. But it’s proved to be nothing but an uphill climb and in most cases, impossible. I am going to lower my goal to 10 pounds per challenge and see if that will feel more right, more do-able. This breaks down to 0.7 lbs per challenge week. I don’t think that is too much to ask of my mind, my body and my spirit! I, again, thank you for sharing my journey with me and allowing me to travel with you on yours. It is reassuring, refreshing, enlightening and inspiring and I am forever grateful.

CURRENT WEEK:
Day 29—06/12—193.2 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 192.3)
Day 30—06/13—192.0 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 192.3) A late weigh-in. I usually don’t weigh on Fridays because of the time table but I wanted to see if any of the bloat from the Mexican food yesterday dropped off. About half. It takes one day to add it and way longer to lose it. Oh, the complexities of the human body! Emergency travel required today as DGS age 6 is being taken by ambulance to a hospital downstate a couple of hours away for emergency appendix removal. Meals will be hospital food or a local restaurant later. Lots of travel and hospital sitting. I don’t expect good things on the scale tomorrow and may skip weighing altogether. My main focus right now is getting on the road. Prayers for Asher. Today is also my oldest daughter’s birthday. She’s 42 now. Where does the time go? Just yesterday she was wearing a little sunsuit and learning to walk on the scratchy lawn of our little humble rental house! Now she’s a beautiful wife, mother and headstart teacher. I couldn’t be prouder of her!
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️Day 31—06/14—194.4 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 192.5) This reflects a 2.2 lb gain overnight (restaurant food/travel) and a 3.2 lb gain over 3 days (again restaurants). Now I’ve got my work cut out for me! I was supposed to go to a Festival in town today with my son that we’ve managed to miss every year. Food trucks galore which would be hard to resist. At this point, I think I should skip it yet another year.
My DGS made it through the emergency surgery late last night at 10:00 pm. It was a very long day and a long travel home. Not back until 1:00 am and no sleep last night with worry. His appendix had burst. Reports today show that he is doing well but they are having to use the drainage bag on the tummy so he will be in for 3-5 days now. What a trooper!

Thanks for the well wishes for my DGS. He said the bed is very comfortable and that it is his own personal "motel" room, just not as pretty as the last hotel room (a real one) and they do not have a pool lol.

Good Afternoon, Group! Hope your weather is better than mine here...bleah!
@deepwoodslady , hope your grandson is continuing to get better!
Day 29—06/12— 170 - I have stopped taking my daytime insulin and doubled up on my metformin dose, as per my Endo. Been tracking my before and 2 hour post meal blood sugar and it is within healthy parameters. It would be nice not to have to take insulin 4 times a day anymore....we shall see.
Day 30—06/13— 168.8 - Just had lunch...cheesedogs (no buns) and a salad. Dinner I have not yet decided. Supposed to be another dreary weekend here....sigh…
Day 31—06/14— 168.8 - Had eggs and sausage for breakfast, with a slice of banana bread and small glass of OJ to take my pills. Not having lunch. Dinner will be spaghetti and meatballs.

Hello: We are back from our 'weekend' camping (Tuesday to Friday). I read through the posts from this past week. Congratulations to everyone for sticking with this and making progress. Even if you are not at the place you thought you might be, you are learning about your habits and your body. Special notes to:
@deepwoodslady So glad Asher is recovering well and everything was caught early enough. Such a stress. Take care of yourself.
@bteri107 So glad your back is finally feeling better and you are able to exercise again.
@plantpowered Love your charts.
@Lynn__W Love the melted half pound of butter example. When I hear people comment about losing 'only 1 or 2 or 5 pounds', I tell them to go to the grocery store and look at the butter.
I can't remember who wrote it "You can't complain about the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do." —> I've used that quote before too. I love it and it reflects where I am this week.
I did not weigh while we were away. I prorated the increase over the days away. The blue shading represents days away camping.
Week 4 start and end weight 146.9 (average for the week)
Week 4 goal weight 145 —> I'm going to keep that goal for Week 5, even though I'm half way through week 5 and unlikely to meet it by Wednesday. I need a push to keep me consistent. I'm where I was at the end of April before we went to my daughter's convocation.We are home for a week and then camping again for five days.

Some good reminders from a recent Precision Nutrition newsletter. They are a coaching company. I have not used their services or have any affiliation with them. I like their attitude and newsletters and articles. I could have edited this one to remove the 'sells pitchy' parts of this entry, but then it didn't seem to flow quite right. Link to another of their articles that I read earlier today, "Fat loss hacks!?!? 10 charts show why you don’t need them."
Precision Nutrition newsletter extract
Can you recall the last “bad” day you had?
Bad days usually aren’t about what went wrong. They’re about what didn’t go the way you hoped. The food choices, the skipped workout, the “ugh, what even happened today?” feeling.
You finish the day shocked at yourself—and not in a good way.
You think, “How did I let myself slip so much? All those crappy food choices! I thought I was better than that…”
You marvel at all the things you know—but still didn’t do.
Worse, you have zero confidence that—if faced with a similar day again—you’d do any better.Not many people know this, but…
Improving often means having more good days, yes.
More days where you look at yourself in the mirror and think, ‘You really nailed it today, kid.’ And you go to bed feeling that swell of pride and confidence in your chest.
But actually, the secret—and arguably more important—skill behind any self-improvement initiative is simply to make your bad days… less bad.
“Less bad” doesn’t sound as fun.
True.
(Don’t worry—we don’t call our program “Less Bad Nutrition Coaching.” But we do take damage control seriously.)
But when it comes to making progress, damage control is your best friend.
Damage control means being able to:
▶ Put away the chips before you finish the whole bag (even if you’ve already eaten more than you intended to)
▶ Return to the gym—even if you missed the past four workouts (instead of giving up completely)
▶ Have a moment of self-awareness that it’s time to put yourself to bed (rather than stay out later and have yet another Aperol spritz)
▶ Continue to show up and give C+ effort (even when your perfectionist side tells you you’re doomed to fail with anything less than A+)
In PN Coaching, we emphasize this skill heavily.
We call it “progress over perfection.”
And it can be THE thing that helps you keep going and—over time—achieve your goals.
With a “progress over perfection” mindset, imagine if your new “worst” day could look like this:
You wake up late (dumb alarm!).
When you go to get your kid up, they’ve peed the bed so now you have to add laundry to your already jammed morning routine. Forget packing a healthy lunch.
Traffic is horrible, work is nuts, your usual lunch workout class gets canceled, and it’s raining buckets outside.
At the end of the day, more traffic.
By the time you get home, you’re too exhausted to cook. Plus, takeout pizza (and maybe some wine) would really take the edge off.
Your old self would’ve said, “Screw it! Healthy eating and exercising are NOT happening today!”
But your new self:- Grabbed an apple on your way out the door
- Found a courtesy umbrella at the office and went for a brisk walk at lunch
- Ordered pizza, but added baby carrots as a side—and felt satisfied after 2 slices
- Poured a half glass of wine and sipped it mindfully
As you drift off to sleep, you huff in disbelief at all the stuff that went off the rails today.
But you also feel a little smile come over your face.
You did your best. Better than before.
And not because it was easy.
But because you’re strong.6 -

E, 49years old, 5’8
Challenge Starting Weight: 166 lbs
Challenge Goal Weight: 140 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight: 135 lbsI used to be a highly active person, but a spinal issue caused my life to become extremely sedentary. A sedentary lifestyle was compounded by depression which brought about new medications causing lots of weight gain and emotional eating. But the worst of all has been the body transformation happening as the result of perimenopause.
I have no muscle left in my body. I’m beginning to see the body of my grandmother in the mirror instead of myself. I know much of this is simply aging but the rapid onset of weight and drastic changes in my appearance have triggered childhood body issues. I want only to regain my strength and stamina. I’m hoping accountability will help me regain my sense of self.8 -
Sunday check in, doing good, the weight is coming off, I wasn't the best yesterday I got the munchies after riding 20+ miles, but still went under what MTP and Garmin said I could eat.

I'm 5'3, in my mid 30s, and a SAHM to my three year old twins.
Round 21 Ending Weight: 147.3

Week 2 Ending Weight: 146.2
Week 3 Ending Weight: 144.3
Week 4 Ending Weight: 144.1Day 29—06/12— 143.4. Another stressful day, where I just didn't feel like eating much. There's just a lot going on right now. Long walk. No gym, I fell asleep on the couch around 8pm instead.
Day 30—06/13—141.6. Wow, what a drop. I feel a lot less bloated. Food was good, walk but no gym.
Day 31—06/14— 141.9. Food was okay, but lazy day- no walk or run. I'm planning to get a lot done this weekend. Chores and errands, as well as a couple of long runs, healthy grocery shopping and meal prep.
Day 32—06/15— 143.3. I did a 10 mile run (my longest run yet!!) which made me super hungry the rest of the day. So I ate. Probably a little too much. I'm really proud of my running.
I did a little bit of cleaning, but was a pretty lazy day otherwise. I didn't get around to grocery shopping and meal prep, but I'm hoping I can be a bit productive today before my FIL comes over for Father's Day dinner.

@age_is_just_a_number Thanks for the article. Good advice.
I'm most successful when I maintain a positive outlook. When things don't go as I had hoped, I try to take it in stride and think, "I can do better." When things go better than I had hoped — like today's weight — I think to myself, "Cool! Now, don't blow it!" 😂
Not only is it important to not get discouraged, it's also important to not get overconfident.

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
Week 4 Start Weight: 139.6
Week 4 Goal: 138.0
Week 4 Actual Weight: 141.8, saw 139.0
Day 29—06/12— 141.2 - Down a touch from yesterday. Power went out downtown and I almost got out early from my second job, then it came back on. 19 more days now until 1 day off. I can do it : - ) 2 jobs today.
Day 30—06/13— 140.6 - Rushing this morning.
Day 31—06/14— 140.6 - I was home from work just after 6pm and worked in the garden until almost dark out. I opted for hummus and water crackers + the last of my fresh asparagus from last week's farmer's market for "dinner". So glad that I got the asparagus while it was at the end of the season. Weighed quite early this morning, no bathroom trip as of yet. I do feel leaner this morning, but the scale doesn't reflect it. Burned more calories than I took in yesterday including hours in the yard, fitness marshall, plus always lots of steps waitressing. The "in 5 weeks" comment always just teases me. My calories in are usually somewhere between 1100 and 1200. Missed breakfast completely yesterday trying to get things done in the morning before work since I have zero days off to get stuff done. Stanley Cup playoffs game 5 tonight, surely I burn some calories with all of the anxiety of that lol. I had better add some beans to whatever I am going to have for dinner later, my Fiber intake could be better. They do help with protein, but pretty much all protein elevates the Fat column.
Day 32—06/15— 140.4 - Long day ahead at work, and I was up way too early. All good. I have a few things that I would like to accomplish this morning, including breakfast, which I missed for a couple of days. Egg whites with 1/2 a slice of swiss cheese and one piece of toast is on the menu. Sunday morning breakfast. Happy Father's Day to the fathers.

We celebrated a birthday at our home yesterday. I did enjoy the food and had a rich dessert, but today will be back on track. Slow and steady habit changes… sloooooooow and steady. The trend line needs to keep pointing down.
The workouts are making me feel really good. I had a longer spin bike workout yesterday (on Zwift) and slept so well afterwards. I'm doing better with the higher end of my cardio range.

250’s💋-- 240’s🎵-- 230’s🐸-- 220's📘-- 210's-- 200's🎨--Thoughts at the start of this round:
My goal from the very beginning has been to lose one pound per week for a total of 12 pounds per challenge. I have never considered that to be too much and I never thought in a million years I would find it this difficult, even at my age and with my health problems. But it’s proved to be nothing but an uphill climb and in most cases, impossible. I am going to lower my goal to 10 pounds per challenge and see if that will feel more right, more do-able. This breaks down to 0.7 lbs per challenge week. I don’t think that is too much to ask of my mind, my body and my spirit! I, again, thank you for sharing my journey with me and allowing me to travel with you on yours. It is reassuring, refreshing, enlightening and inspiring and I am forever grateful.

Day 31—06/14—194.4 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 192.5) This reflects a 2.2 lb gain overnight (restaurant food/travel) and a 3.2 lb gain over 3 days (again restaurants). Now I’ve got my work cut out for me! I was supposed to go to a Festival in town today with my son that we’ve managed to miss every year. Food trucks galore which would be hard to resist. At this point, I think I should skip it yet another year.
My DGS made it through the emergency surgery late last night at 10:00 pm. It was a very long day and a long travel home. Not back until 1:00 am and no sleep last night with worry. His appendix had burst. Reports today show that he is doing well but they are having to use the drainage bag on the tummy so he will be in for 3-5 days now. What a trooper!
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️Day 32—06/15—190.4 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 192.3) I know that I did not eat 11,000 extra calories over and beyong my 1400 allowance to gain 3.5 pounds in 72 hours. Now, I know that I did not burn 14,000 extra calories over the 1400 overnight to lose 4.0 pounds overnight. It’s true, it does matter WHERE the calories come from. I finally lost some water/sodium bloat apparently from the foods I ate to gain in the days prior. I haven’t had my prescribed water pill in weeks, but it looks like today I won’t need one either! Back on track with my real weight (I hope) and I am going to try to stay on schedule.
