100 day Challenge #24 August 23.25 – November 30.25

I agree with you. You have to use what you have available. I’ve been debating about getting one of those 4 point BIA scales, like the Hume Body Pod. But other than spending money, I don’t think it will really tell me anything more than what my current scale and tape measure already tell me.

Starting Weight from End of Last Challenge: : 185.6

Goal This Round: 175.6 (10 pounds)

Challenge Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

Total Lost/Gained this challenge: xxxxx

🔜🔜🔜🔜🔜Ultimate Goal: 145-155 (I’ll know Exactly when I get there!)

Thoughts at the start of this round:

This round will be challenging as it includes the U.S. holidays of Labor Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving. All are big foodie or party and dessert type holidays in the U.S. There are also multiple birthday celebrations in my family. In addition, there will be a lot of travel which is traditional in the fall for me as I try to avoid as many icy driving trips as possible in the winter months. There will be lots of doctor appointments away from home as well as Christmas and gift-giving shopping in this round. I will have to make sure I stay on top of my plan in every moment I can and to make the necessary corrections every time the scale goes up. We can’t control the ingredients in restaurant food so portion control will be key when away from home. I will again aim for a 10 pound loss this round. Thanks for sharing your journey with me and allowing me to share mine. I am grateful for you all.

On of the reasons I have big swings I think from day to day is … getting up and weighing at 4am vs 7am LOL

Good reason for me to look at that trend or moving average.

Enjoy the surprises on the scale .. it is just a number! The next day it might be better the one thing for sure it will be new and possibly different.

Happy Sunday, it's my funday aka Golf! A rode a lot yesterday, I am surprised my weight went down, normally it is higher the day after a long ride…

I'm 57 years old, 6'2", and my goal for this 100-day challenge is to reach 178 lbs. I started at 4/11/2025 at ~217.

Really good day yesterday. I exercised (leg day), picked up the garbage in the park behind our house, vacuumed the house and walked the dog. I felt like I didn't sit down for any length of time until dinner. Went to bed at 10pm because I was just tired. It made me feel a bit like Dawn and how active she is. I really need to move more throughout the day. My legs are a speaking to me a bit this morning though.

Met my protein target.

Yesterday's success: Had a glass of wine after dinner. I've never measured a glass of wine. Last night, we had what I thought was a glass of wine left in a bottle from a few days ago (almost never happens in our house). I took out a measuring cup and poured it in only to realize that it was 250ml. I poured 125ml in a glass and the rest back in the bottle. Had I not measured it, I would have had it all.

The scale this morning was exactly the same as the day before we left on vacation. Still have a pound to go to get the 7 day trend to be the same as before vacation. But it feels good to see things stabilizing.

One more day to say goodbye to that red calorie IN.

Good Morning, Everybody! Hope you are having a restful weekend!

@age_is_just_a_number , I approve of WEIGHT is just a number. I used to have a rainbow with a smiling face on my profile the first time I was on MFP. When I came back, it was gone because the new owners had gotten rid of some of the page options which I still don't understand to this day. But I still like the idea of a rainbow.

@bteri107 , I agree....I can't wait till Wednesday!

@Grandma16grandkids , I think you are doing terrific! Although we measure by quarters, I prefer to look at the big picture. Its 28 pounds since I started a year ago. But all do what works for us.

Day 15—09/06— 162.2 - Started today with a granola bar. Have to hit the grocery store later...no milk and need salad fixings. I was just getting used to the cooler weather. I need fall now. Goal is the same....maybe THIS week will be the charm.

Day 16—09/07— 162.2 - Started the day with blueberry yogurt and a roll. I could have skipped the roll, but it's ok. Not sure what the rest of the day holds. Yesterday my daughter was at my ex's and they fired up the grill so I was invited to lunch. Had a hot dog and tomato slices. And I was satisfied even though they had cheeseburgers too. So I was a good girl... lol!

I had company yesterday, so the foods were a bit richer. Back to normal today. I'll probably do spin bike/yoga. I'm going to try to get on the spin bike 2x/week from now on. This is when I see the best gains in VO2Max.

PREVIOUS WEEK’S CHALLENGE

CURRENT WEEK:

Day 15—183.4 ✅ (Trend Weight: 184.9) I tried a new recipe last night (baked ham, cheese and pineapple sliders) that is not as low carb as I normally try to go. However, by carefully managing my day in advance, it fit into my calorie and carb allowance. Definitely on the highest end of my carbs, but otherwise macros were very good. I’m just so proud that I managed to eat the pineapple as I don’t normally eat any fruit. Cut up into small tidbits and combined with the other ingredients and I was able to do, even enjoy it! I’m showing a small loss today which makes me realize I can make it again as long as I always carefully plan those days. I kept seeing a similar recipe on facebook and just couldn’t take it anymore! I’m going to try to bank up some calories for my upcoming overnight 2 day medical appointment at the University Hospital downstate Mon & Tue. It will all be primarily restaurants and so much sitting. I’m trying to tackle it both before and after.

Day 17—09/08—I will weigh before I leave for trip.

Day 18—09/09— No Weight while out of town.

Day 19—09/10— Travel damage report unless I decide to give myself a one day buffer.

@dawnbgethealthy I hope you are feeling better soon and that you foot surgery goes well.

@deepwoodslady Love your bully and shark analogies.

You must have a fancy scale that gives you visceral fat.

@bteri107 You CAN be consistent!

@plantpowered Yes! I would find that fun. I've already got spreadsheets for weight, body fat vs lean mass, inches and I just added visceral fat. At the end of the day, I just don't like spending money when I don't see the value.

@Crochetluvr It is so great that you have a good relationship with your Ex.
