    @age_is_just_a_number I love that chart! I love how you visually arranged the data. These charts and graphs are such a good way to tailor your program and suss out the problem areas. Very nicely done.

    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.

    Week 6 Start Weight: 139.0

    Week 6 Goal: 138.0 - sticking with this goal, I got very close in week 5

    Week 6 Actual Weight: 141.4

    Week 7 Start Weight: 140.2

    Week 7 Goal: 138.0 - I just keep plugging that one in. I have to start somewhere for my September goal of 130.0 right?

    Week 7 Actual Weight: 138.4

    Week 8 Start Weight: 139.8

    Week 8 Goal: 138.0 - I just keep plugging that one in.

    Week 8 Actual Weight: 140.4

    Week 9 Start Weight: 138.0

    Week 9 Goal: took out my weekly goal for this week.

    Week 9 Actual Weight: 139.6 - Hit 136.4 this week.

    Week 10 Start Weight: 140.4

    Week 10 Goal: 137.0

    Week 10 Actual Weight: 138.6

    Day 71—07/24— 138.2 - 2 jobs today. I agreed to do yesterday and today, I'm not sure about the remaining 4 weeks after tonight. I had originally given my notice until the beginning of September since I am going into the hospital for my foot procedure on September 8th (not supposed to drive or walk for a couple of days) and then flying out for my birthday vacation. I have never left a job without lots of notice. I have also worked for people where they and their spouses and kids help out - but unlike the owner's young wife at this job, never take all of the server's tables, or any tables. I had my first restaurant job at 14, so 50 years in and around this business. Protocol is "off". I have already kind of checked out, but I will fulfill the last 4 weeks if need be. Several times when she does this I just leave, like last Thursday when I left 10 minutes after I got there because 3 tables came in and she took them all with none going to me. I normally work alone there, she starts at 8am so there is no reason for her to stay past 4pm. Leaving meant that I spent some extra glorious time in my garden : - ) I easily could have taken a well paying job at Joseph Creek (long term care and independent living food server) for that shift, but it was too late by that time. Rambling this morning. This is what is on my mind.

    Day 72—07/25— 138.4 - That was my last shift at the small restaurant. The young wife asked if it was my last night before she left at 4pm. I said that it was, and she hugged me like 5 times before she left and told me how much that she would miss me. I do wish them success. I am a little long in the tooth now to stick it out and help them to grow the business. I may or may not take shifts elsewhere on those days, part of me just wants to Not.

    Day 73—07/26— 140.2 - Ouch!!! Almost 2 pounds in one day sigh. Possibly everything in transit? I had a great shift at my primary job yesterday, the Indian restaurant. I picked up extra hours there on top of my regular shift. Split shifts there today and tomorrow. I will get some weeding and stuff done during my breaks, and maybe a bit of a tan lol.

    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.

    CURRENT WEEK:

    Day 71—07/24—188.8 ✅ (Trend Weight:189.6)

    Day 72—07/25—188.0 ✅ (Trend Weight: 189.5) I’m grateful for the daily drops on the scale as I inch my way back down. But….. Boy, oh boy! It sure takes longer to come back off when it can leap on at 2-4 lbs easily in one day! Something to keep in mind I suppose…. I’m down 1.6 of the lofty 3.1 lb catch-up goal I made for this week. Half way there! I’ve got a few more days to put a bigger dent in it. I’m trying hard not to let my DD’s visit derail me. Owen is still grumpy today. He is still struggling with food. The only small amount of squeezable fruit or food of any type he takes is when I threaten to call the ambulance. I told him about IV feeding and he doesn’t want that! So he takes one bite or one squeeze. That’s about it. He is finally taking some of the Motrin so that’s a plus. He’s grumpy. I am staying out of his face as much as I can.

    🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️Day 73—07/26—187.2 ✅ (Trend Weight: 189.2) Finally I got that comforting #7 back in my weight. That gives me a little wiggle room with fluctuations or travel weights. I have such a long way to go to reach anything near goal weight so all progress is great. I need to get off my butt though and get more intentional exercise in. It has kind of went by the wayside since Owen had his surgery. Handyman is supposed to arrive today to begin pulling up kitchen flooring so that he can get old layers of subflooring out, level them and redo them to match the height of my primary bedroom space so floors can be matching and reconnected. It is going to be a mess here for awhile again. It’s always tough when it’s the kitchen and dining areas. And my privacy (for exercising) will be limited again. Humph….

    More than ever, I need to focus on my health. I know what to do, I just need to work on consistency.

    Week 11

    Day 71—07/24—146.2 Going in the wrong direction.

    Day 72—07/25—DNW

    Day 73—07/26—146.9  Yikes! Too much eating out this past week. I’m seeing a local production today, of the Broadway hit Come From Away. I’m typically not one for musicals unless my son is in it. But I’m excited for this one which is based on the events in the Newfoundland town of Gander during the week following the September 11 attacks. I’ll have to make it a point to eat at home first. Enough of eating out for awhile.

    Enjoy Come From Away!

    It is one of my favourite musicals.

    We’ve seen it twice at Mirvish in Totonto.

    It never ceases to amaze me as to how:

    1. Newfoundlanders open their arms and homes to anyone in need
    2. The writers managed to tell a humourous and inspirational story out of such a horrific event.

    I hope you leave the theatre uplifted.

    If you’re able to find it, there is also a documentary that includes interviews with some if the Newfoundlanders involved and the writers and actors. It is worth watching; but I recommend watching it after you've seen the performance.

    I've only been to Newfoundland twice. I can honestly say that people there are incredibly friendly, helpful, patient and open minded. More so than in the rest of Canada. I think it has something to do with the fact that they are on an island and need to rely on each other.
