I've had three really good food days. It will probably take a few days for the 10-day average columns to turn green. I'll reassess the goals if I'm still stalled. This is a sustainable and amount of food for me - whole foods and lots of produce. Exercise has been great. Yesterday was an easy day - lots of walking and a fun dance workout after work.

unexpected day. Long story short …. Spent a couple of hours in the truck dealing with a mechanical issue on the trailer. Had lunch (or was it dinner) at 4, including a Mojito.
IN 2244
OUT 2075
Surplus 200 —> considering the day and lack of movement, I thought this would be a higher surplus. Overall, I have a deficit for camping, which I think is a first for me!
good news … trailer repair is almost done and we’re heading home later this morning5 -

So, having concluded that a weight trendline is only that, i.e. it shows a trend, and wanting something with more predictive power, but not wanting to have to track calories in/calories out (obviously the primary independent variable), let alone other factors like salt, hydration, muscle effort, etc., I decided to stop trying to make a trendline what it isn't.
Thinking out of the box, I created the following scatter chart that shows weight over time, with weight being the x-axis and time the y-axis. The x-axis goes from heaviest to lightest, left to right, while the y-axis goes from past to future. I like it, although I'm a little disappointed in what it's telling me (like I don't already know 🙄).

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 again.
Week 5 Start Weight: 141.2
Week 5 Goal: 138.0 - trying for that again
Week 5 Actual Weight: 141.6. Hit 138.4 this week.
Day 36—06/19— 139.0 - Hummus with water crackers and other snacks like nuts in lieu of dinner last night. I think that I will do the same tonight, being that Wednesday and Thursday I work at 2 different jobs, so I am home later and not really interested in dinner. I like snacks better than food anyway lol.
Day 37—06/20— 139.4 - This is my last weekend to work the 11-7 shifts at my primary job, then I go back to split shifts the following weekend and beyond. I was so bagged yesterday that I left my second job early last night, so I had an actual dinner. I don't plan on keeping that job longterm, just until September. When I get back from my holidays in October I will do shifts at my 3rd job (which will become my second job) instead. I know that I talk about work too much. I have been on 7 days a week instead of my usual 6 days per week, so that is pretty much all that I do…work. I do get up extra early in the mornings to try to accomplish a few things in the garden. House is a disaster, but that isn't going anywhere, I will eventually get to it…possibly lol. I will always find any reason to do stuff outside rather than clean my house. I did wash the floors a week ago, and haven't been home much to dirty them. Tiny win : - )
Day 38—06/21— 139.0 - We are absolutely having April weather here right now. Horrific for my peppers and tomatoes : - ( My furnace even came on last night! Argh. Raining still since yesterday. I am going to sprinkle some grass seed and do another portion of my porch before work this morning.
Day 39—06/22— 140.4 - 2 black russians last night and accompanying snacks. I do love 1/8 cup of wasabi almonds, but try not to have that more than once per week because although delicious, there is no doubt too much salt. I do love cocktails, but I also understand that as soon as alcohol goes in the fat burning process stops because it is busy dealing with the alcohol. Still, at the end of the night when I want more snacks I chew gum instead. That seems to work for me. Cocktail party Monday night, so I shouldn't have had drinks last night, but I really felt like it and did have them, so gained the weight and will move on.
Day 40—06/23— 140.6 - I had 8 wings last night and cocktails again. I deserve the gain.
Day 41—06/24— 140.8 - Steady gain, but only a little each day instead of a 3 pound jump like I am used to. 3 busy workdays where I didn't get to eat anything except for my 6 strawberries a slice here and there. Last night I had Butter Chicken! I was very hungry, but Restaurant food is a no-no for me. No breakfast this morning and I have to get going to work. Short workday, I am looking forward to that. Only 7 more days until a day off. Extremely happy about that because I am soooo tired doing this 35 days straight. For sure I won't be making goal this week.
Day 42—06/25—
Week 6 Start Weight: 139.0
Week 6 Goal: 138.0 - sticking with this goal, I got very close in week 5

@frankwbrown You got this, now that you know the trend, change it, you are the one in control, just keep logging and eating a little less, you will get to your goal. It isn't about getting to the destination it's about the journey! So enjoy the little wins and you will get there before you know it!

100 Days of Weighing In #23 ^^^^^ May 15, 2025 thru Aug 22, 2025

Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 194.2
Goal This Round: 184.2 (10 pounds)
Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx
Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx
🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there!)
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 39—06/22—189.8 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.8)
Day 40—06/23—188.4 ✅ - (Trend Weight: 191.5) I am never comfortable or confident in the numbers of a new decade until I hit the 7. That means 187 point anything in this case. That is because I can easily fluctuate up or down several pounds due to water retention, hormones, TMI (potty) or a special event/weight gain. I am cautiously optimistic that I’ll get there soon. Lots of heat warnings out there now including here in Michigan. Stay cool and stay safe my friends! Have a wonderful week!
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊 Day 41—06/24—190.6 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.4) Well, I’m certainly disappointed in this. But I’m not too surprised because until I hit that 187 point anything, I’m not overly confident in the 180’s decade. Yesterday was a solid C+ if I was grading. Meals were light but dinner was a homemade bowl of chicken noodle soup from the freezer which is noodle heavy. I also had one snack that is normally off limits so there’s that. I think, however, more so, that the increase is likely due to no sleep for two days (This Heat!) and no TMI x 2. I’m hoping that the trend weight which is continuing to inch down is a good indication that the 180’s are still in my very near future. Don’t throw in the towel Donna! Fluctuations happen. Know your body! I need to lose 0.6 in by tomorrow in order to make my whole weeks goal including the catch-up I needed. So that’s basically losing my entire 0.7 weekly goal overnight. I don’t know if I can do that, but so far I have made up for excess weight gained last week, plus the 0.7 I didn’t lose last week so there is that. Looks like there will be no off-plan snacks today and dinner will not include any pasta!

High sodium dinner & snack last night. Workout: Upper body strength training.
Day 37—06/20—144.2
Yesterday was a good food day. I feel like going to Costco was my exercise. lol. I’ve noticed my body reacts slowly to sugar and carbs—taking 2–3 days to show on the scale—but responds quickly to high-sodium foods, usually by the next day. Have to keep that in mind.
Day 38—06/21—144.0
Day 39—06/22—143.6
Made good food choices yesterday but had a lot of it so I was concerned about the scale this morning. Happy it fluctuated downward. Took the dog on a brisk 45-min walk.

HELLLLLLLLLLO Humpday! Enjoy your Wednesday!!!! Weight is high this week, I think it is all the salt from the weekend riding and golf… Ohhh well carry on a eat less and enjoy the little moments!
I am 57, 6'2", my goal for the 100 days is 189 or better. I started at 4/11/2025 at ~217.
Day 36—06/19— 200.5

Day 39—06/22— 201.0
Day 40—06/23— 202.0
Day 41—06/24— 201.5
Day 42—06/25— 201.5- Week 1 Start wt: 209.5
- Week 2 Start wt: 207.5 Total Loss: 2.0 lbs
- Week 3 Start wt: 205.0 Total Loss: 4.5 lbs
- Week 4 Start wt: 204.5 Total Loss: 5.0 lbs
- Week 5 Start wt: 203.5 Total Loss: 6.0 lbs
- Week 6 Start wt: 201.5 Total Loss: 8.0 lbs
- Week 7 Start wt: 201.5 Total Loss: 8.0 lbs
Look like I am tracking for the goal…
I am just going to keep doing what I have been doing, the body doesn't always do what we want or expect, so I am going to be careful logging and cutting down on some snacks. I know from previous weight loss times I have done this, you can get stuck in a plateau, it can be frustrating. Instead of giving up, I need to stop being comfortable with my daily routine and mix it up, and shake up the body. More walking, more riding, and less eating. Plus always more smiling!
This the Iris nebula, it is a dark cloud that is falling inward starting to produce new stars. I love the little features in this object! Enjoy and carry on!
Thanks,
Jon

That's still doable, but only if I can "get on board", "get with the program", and "get the lead out"!

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 again.
Week 5 Start Weight: 141.2
Week 5 Goal: 138.0 - trying for that again
Week 5 Actual Weight: 141.6. Hit 138.4 this week.
Day 36—06/19— 139.0 - Hummus with water crackers and other snacks like nuts in lieu of dinner last night. I think that I will do the same tonight, being that Wednesday and Thursday I work at 2 different jobs, so I am home later and not really interested in dinner. I like snacks better than food anyway lol.
Day 37—06/20— 139.4 - This is my last weekend to work the 11-7 shifts at my primary job, then I go back to split shifts the following weekend and beyond. I was so bagged yesterday that I left my second job early last night, so I had an actual dinner. I don't plan on keeping that job longterm, just until September. When I get back from my holidays in October I will do shifts at my 3rd job (which will become my second job) instead. I know that I talk about work too much. I have been on 7 days a week instead of my usual 6 days per week, so that is pretty much all that I do…work. I do get up extra early in the mornings to try to accomplish a few things in the garden. House is a disaster, but that isn't going anywhere, I will eventually get to it…possibly lol. I will always find any reason to do stuff outside rather than clean my house. I did wash the floors a week ago, and haven't been home much to dirty them. Tiny win : - )
Day 38—06/21— 139.0 - We are absolutely having April weather here right now. Horrific for my peppers and tomatoes : - ( My furnace even came on last night! Argh. Raining still since yesterday. I am going to sprinkle some grass seed and do another portion of my porch before work this morning.
Day 39—06/22— 140.4 - 2 black russians last night and accompanying snacks. I do love 1/8 cup of wasabi almonds, but try not to have that more than once per week because although delicious, there is no doubt too much salt. I do love cocktails, but I also understand that as soon as alcohol goes in the fat burning process stops because it is busy dealing with the alcohol. Still, at the end of the night when I want more snacks I chew gum instead. That seems to work for me. Cocktail party Monday night, so I shouldn't have had drinks last night, but I really felt like it and did have them, so gained the weight and will move on.
Day 40—06/23— 140.6 - I had 8 wings last night and cocktails again. I deserve the gain.
Day 41—06/24— 140.8 - Steady gain, but only a little each day instead of a 3 pound jump like I am used to. 3 busy workdays where I didn't get to eat anything except for my 6 strawberries a slice here and there. Last night I had Butter Chicken! I was very hungry, but Restaurant food is a no-no for me. No breakfast this morning and I have to get going to work. Short workday, I am looking forward to that. Only 7 more days until a day off. Extremely happy about that because I am soooo tired doing this 35 days straight. For sure I won't be making goal this week.
Day 42—06/25— 141.4 - I am okay with this uptick, many many hours spent working in the yard when I got home from work at 3:30. That usually spells a gain for me. I really upped my nutrition last night since I have been lacking all of this week.
WTF MFP!!!???!! As of this morning the food and exercise diaries look like giant cartoons? Ridiculous. Not happy at all. Why change the formatting? Grrrrrrrr

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 Ending Wts:
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: 178.6 ( -0.4)
Week 5: 177.6 ( - 1 )
Week 6: 177.2 ( -0.4)
Day 36 ~ 06/19: 176.2 Out to book launch. Buffett of cheeses etc. Prob overindulged in cheeses but avoided sweets, baking etc.
Day 37 ~ 06/20: 176.2 Busy day, lots of food prep etc. No exercise per se. Rainey, cold wind etc.
Day 38 ~ 06/21: 175.8 WoooHoooo, haven’t seen this number since early March!! Worked. No snacking at work 😊
Day 39 ~ 06/22: 176.4 Water intake has been almost nil for past 4ish days so now dealing with a gout attack. ☹
Day 40 ~ 06/23: 178.6 at 5:30; 176.6 at 9:30. Drank 16 cups water yesterday! Foot pain is settling tho. Cold and rainy; Brrrr, have furnace turned on!
Day 41 ~ 06/24: 176.2 Focus today is to drop below 176. Busy day ahead but oh how I wish my “to do” list was empty because I’m in the middle one book ( The White Masai ), and have another I want to read plus have just put a hold on my fav author’s new book! Busy summer ahead!! Lol. May have to work less 😉 Decided to bike between rain showers however stepping off my bike caused major hip pain and muscle spasm. Not at all happy about this.
Day 42 ~ 06/25: 177.2 Gave in to snacking on crackers after dinner so gain isn’t unexpected. Today!!! Hip is still sore. Haven’t totally given up on biking but going to just use the stationery one for a bit; not nearly as interesting or fun but . . . .
Week 6 Wt Change: - 0.4 Challenge Change: - 4.6

Back from camping and pleased with today's scale. I ended the 5 days of camping with a small surplus. Weight did not fluctuate as much as it usually does after camping. The light blue are camping days on which I did not weigh; the weight is the increase prorated over the number of days away. I need to do this for one of my charts. The 7 day trend weight if I leave the DNW days blank is 144.2. I'm not going to worry about .2lbs one way or the other. No more camping planned until September. We have our cruise in 7 weeks. My goal was 140 by the cruise. A few weeks ago, that goal seem unreachable, but now, I'm feeling confident I'll reach it and maybe even beat it.
Week 6
start 146.4
goal 145.0
end 144.0
Week 7 —> setting my goal to 143.0 —> It is aggressive for me, but I think it will give me the focus I need.By the way, I am really loving this challenge thread. The daily check-ins really keep me accountable. Thank you so much everyone for your participation and sharing your successes, struggles and suggestions.

Day 36—06/19—145.2
High sodium dinner & snack last night. Workout: Upper body strength training.
Day 37—06/20—144.2
Yesterday was a good food day. I feel like going to Costco was my exercise. lol. I’ve noticed my body reacts slowly to sugar and carbs—taking 2–3 days to show on the scale—but responds quickly to high-sodium foods, usually by the next day. Have to keep that in mind.
Day 38—06/21—144.0
Day 39—06/22—143.6
Made good food choices yesterday but had a lot of it so I was concerned about the scale this morning. Happy it fluctuated downward. Took the dog on a brisk 45-min walk.
Day 40—06/23—143.7
Day 41—06/24—144.1
Bread and fatty protein for dinner, but portion size wasn’t excessive. All other food choices earlier in the day were on point. Took Kaya on our daily brisk walk.

🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know when I get there!)
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 41—06/24—190.6 ❌ - (Trend Weight: 191.4) Well, I’m certainly disappointed in this. But I’m not too surprised because until I hit that 187 point anything, I’m not overly confident in the 180’s decade. Yesterday was a solid C+ if I was grading. Meals were light but dinner was a homemade bowl of chicken noodle soup from the freezer which is noodle heavy. I also had one snack that is normally off limits so there’s that. I think, however, more so, that the increase is likely due to no sleep for two days (This Heat!) and no TMI x 2. I’m hoping that the trend weight which is continuing to inch down is a good indication that the 180’s are still in my very near future. Don’t throw in the towel Donna! Fluctuations happen. Know your body! I need to lose 0.6 lbs by tomorrow in order to make my whole weeks goal including the catch-up I needed. So that’s basically losing my entire 0.7 weekly goal overnight. I don’t know if I can do that, but so far I have made up for excess weight gained last week, plus the 0.7 I didn’t lose last week so there is that. Looks like there will be no off-plan snacks today and dinner will not include any pasta!
🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊♀️🏊 Day 42—06/25—190.0✅ - (Trend Weight: 191.3) Oh, what a tease! Scale kept flashing upper 189’s and then settled the last possible second on the homestretch at 190.0 which is EXACTLY my goal for this week without any cushion, so I’m okay with that number. I’m still trending down too so that is a plus. Possible dinner this evening or BBQ at home with daughter, her boyfriend and my son later. Not sure if it will materialize yet but I am being very careful with lunch choices in case dinner is a bit off plan. If so, I am going to chose to make some healthier dishes that are prepared with some lower calorie and lower carb ingredients. They’ll never know!

I’m happy that I’ve been able to keep my daily food calls within goal for four days in a row. Things are starting to move back in the right direction.
I also noticed that I’ve made some strength gains during my workout last night. I was able to use heavier weights.
This chart is for the 10-day weight average.
This is encouraging.
Have a great day, everyone.
