100 day Challenge #24 August 23.25 – November 30.25

Good Monday Morning!

@plantpowered , have a great trip!

@Jon4189 , I am not an outdoor winter person either. I plan on milking fall for as long as possible.

@tinathescreamer , great job with the consistent losses!

Day 22— 163 - 09/13— Keeping my goal the same....gonna get there. I went through the same thing when I was trying to get to the 160's from the 170's. And I did it. It gets harder the closer you get to your final goal. But it's not a race, as the saying goes.

Day 23—09/14— 163.4 - Back on the stick today. Had 2 sunny-side-up eggs and toast for breakfast. I will probably skip lunch and have a light dinner….maybe a sandwich. Too much sodium yesterday and not much physical movement. It's supposed to be warmer today…will probably have to turn on the a/c….bleah! And there are two BIG games today….Phillies could clinch the NL East, and the Eagles play the Chiefs!

Day 24—09/15— 162.2 - That's better! I had an Atkins shake for breakfast and will probably have a ham sandwich for lunch. Dinner may be fish.

Got an order of yarn delivered this morning so I can crochet some fall pumpkins. I also plan on making a sweater with some yarn from my stash I have had for years. I need to use some of it up.

Oh…Phils lost but Giants lost so they are in the playoffs. Eagles WON, but there needs to be some work on offense....too predictable. Even I knew what they were going to do half the time. Hopefully they will figure it out in the coming weeks.

Goal This Round: 175.6 (10 pounds)

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.

PREVIOUS WEEK’S CHALLENGE

CURRENT WEEK:

Day 22—09/13—184.0 ❌ (Trend Weight:184.8)

Day 23—09/14—186.2 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.9) Bowling with the three littlest littles yesterday was lots of fun but two out of three of them actually beat my scores (the pre-school 4 yr old and the first grader). I used to be a pretty good bowler in my younger days! Lunch out was a Chinese buffet (Foodie DD’s choice). Within the hour of the buffet lunch (she ate a LOT), she ordered Two Large Pizza’s at the bowling alley! Unbelievable! It can’t be food insecurity, I promise she had a normal eating life growing up. I avoided the pizza and was done with food for the day after the buffet. Weight is up 2.2 today which is pretty typical for me after any restaurant meals of any kind. Hopefully I can stay home for a few days and get back to routine. I did shop while away and pick up more of my plan foods. I should be good to go. Enjoy your Sunday!

Week 4 Actual:

Hi All,

I'm Jenny, 60 years old, 5’6” and hit my goal weight in Feb. 2024 with the help of this group - maintained for 8 months and then just hit a really stressful stretch of life with toxic work situations, long hours and the stress of building a new home in DE and selling our old home in NY. It's like I defiantly watched myself start binge eating, drinking more alcohol and gaining almost every pound back. So here I am again - finally settled in the new house and doing what worked for me the first time - daily weighing, IF, logging and exercise. I’m also adding Noom to the mix to help me find better ways of coping with stress. My goal for this challenge is to simply keep with it – even after a slip. I can do this – I’ve done it before, I can do it again!

Day 25—09/16: 220.0 – speaking of slips…been MIA for a bit with a very stressful work situation that I didn’t handle well in terms of food and alcohol. Finally got through the gauntlet last week and spent the weekend prepping soups for lunches, enjoying the sunshine doing pool workouts with DH, and resolving to not let work derail every good thing in my life. Back on track yesterday, a cardio/weights workout & stretch today, and ready to move forward again.

Day 27—09/18—

Day 28—09/19—

Goodish day yesterday. We walked to the tip of mainland Canada.
Had tacos for lunch at 2pm. We’re camping in a vegetable growing Mecca in southwestern Ontario. We realized that there are more than two dozen really authentic looking Mexican shops and restaurants. Then we put it together …. In Canada, Mexican workers come to work on farms. After walking around a bit, I believe there are more Mexican living in this town than any other nationality. The food was amazing.
We had ice cream after that. The ice cream took me over on IN calories. But the flavours were fall —- Pumpkin and Caramel Apple. One scoop of each on a waffle cone. Lately ice cream has been giving me an upset stomach, but yesterday’s did not; I’m happy about that.

Yesterday’s workout: weights, core, leg extensions to strengthen my knees and hip stretches for mobility.

Week 4 Actual Weight: 

@Jon4189 I'm in New Zealand. In the Southern Hemisphere, so we are just entering Spring. That means fresh produce is still a bit expensive atm - it will get cheaper as we head toward a Summer Christmas.

Day 22—09/13— 141 lb. Off to a good start. MFP tells me that at current calorie level (Base level 1500. Today I ate 1557 + 30 mins walking) I will weigh 138.4 in 5 weeks.

Day 23—09/14— 140 lb. See - you can lose weight eating carrot cake! Turns out it is healthy after all! My measurements are Waist 29 inches. Hips 39 inches - so a bit bigger all round than I was at 134 lb. But I forget to measure until after breakfast, so I will remeasure tomorrow, hopefully if I remember before eating/drinking.

Day 24—09/15— 139.5 lb.. Waist 28.5 ins. Hips 38.5 in. Dropping more rapidly than I anticipated! But I am eating only 3 meals a day - no snacks. I prefer salty to sweet, so likely the lower salt consumption is resulting in water loss.

Day 25—09/16— 139.6 lb

Day 26—09/17— 139.8 lb. I had to go to the other side of town, and felt I needed a little something to keep me going until I could get back home for lunch. I had brought an apple, but it was sooooo sweet I couldn't finish it. So I looked for some nuts in a supermarket. It would have been cheaper per oz. to buy a value pack - but I knew then I wouldn't stop eating till they were all gone. But I saw some raw almonds in the bulk bins on special, so just bought a dozen of those. It was only 15 grams worth, but still 84 cals. Nevertheless, I stayed under my calorie limit.

Day 27—09/18—

Day 28—09/19—

Week 4 Start Weight: 141 lb.

Week 4 Goal: Not sure I want to set an actual weekly goal. I aim to eat around 1600 cal and walk 40 mins daily. According to MFP, that should drop me 0.5 pounds a week, but I know the loss will not always be perfectly consistent.

I agree on the sizes, I needed to get more shorts, so I got the smaller size, so that they don't require a belt when I am at home, and I am going through my winter shirts getting rid of really big shirts… One the bright side I am getting new bicycle jerseys.
