I'm feeling really good. Dynamic Recovery day for my workout program, so only did 15 minutes of warm up low impact cardio and stretching. Walked the dog. Stayed within IN target. 7 day average is at my week 6 goal. Old scale (140.0) and New scale (139.4) are inconsistent with each other. If I change yesterday's & today's to old scale, then 7 day average is 141.1. I know I can meet and beat my week 6 goal if I stay consistent. Average of just the 4 days of week 6 is 140.1. The last time I had a weight in the 130s was in 2022. Soon I'll be half way to my ultimate goal.
Thank you Dawn & Donna for starting these 100 day challenges and to everyone for participating. These challenges with the daily updates has made a big difference for my motivation, consistency and progress.

@tinathescreamer Food scale is a worthwhile purchase. I'm sure you know how to use it. Awhile ago I got tired of people in the Health & Weight Loss category saying they didn't know how to use their scale so I created this post How to use a kitchen scale — MyFitnessPal.com. I use mine to measure my breakfast every day. I don't use it all the time for lunch and dinner, just periodically to get a 'reset' on what a portion really weighs. I also use the package sizes, for example, last night my husband made sausage and the package was 0.855lbs, so I recorded 200 grams (which is a little more than half of the package). I do my best to over record food rather than under record.
@JimnKC Look at you dialing in the IN calories and how quickly it is reflecting on the scale number. Way to go!

I took a rest day on 9/29, but otherwise, I've been in a good groove. I've found that my appetite has stabilized lately, and I've become more picky—meaning that I genuinely don't want some of the things I was eating before, mainly because of how they affect my energy and moods. Some foods make me feel on edge and anxious, and I do not want those feelings. Life is nutty enough. Have a great day, everyone.

“We will encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.” - Maya Angelou
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.

CURRENT WEEK:
Day 36—09/27—183.6 ❌ (Trend Weight: 184.3)
Day 37—09/28—183.4 ✅ (Trend Weight – 184.2) A small drop today which seems to be a miracle because I know what I ate last night and what time I ate it. It was ridiculous! I’m so glad I got my lazy *kitten* on that exercise bike when I just didn’t feel like it. I’m sure that helped. I also raked leaves and burned for 3 hours just trying to keep up. So the extra calorie burn apparently paid off.
Day 38—09/29—182.0 ✅ (Trend Weight – 184.0) Travel Day. Time to go get my $2000.00 crown replaced due to receding gums. Oh Joy!
🐝🐝🐝🐝 Day 39—09/30—DNW ↔️ (Trend Weight: DNW After travel, giving it a day or two will allow the most accurate true numbers to reveal themselves. There is no point in starting Oct with a falsely inflated number and then making a loss in October look easy when we all know it never is. I prefer giving myself credit for actual weight/fat loss. I didn’t get the crown done (yet). The x-ray showed an abscess below the crown. Luckily no pain but I had no idea. I already have a root canal under that crown but apparently the rod did not go down far enough into the canal which left a pocket open for bacteria. Now I need another root canal AND still the crown replacement. I am waiting for the final quote and appointment. I know it will be upwards of $4000.00. Darn, I could have completely redone my son’s 700 sq foot basement “apartment” with that amount of money which is a project that is badly needed.

Hi : - )
I am Dawn. I will turn 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week.
Week 1 Start Weight: 137.8
Week 1 Goal: 136.8

Week 5 Start Weight: 136.0 - on my 65th birthday
Week 5 Goal:
135.0136.5Week 5 Actual Weight: 136.2
Day 36—09/27 — 136.8 - That was a long slog of travel, plane delays etc. I packed lots and lots of food: 2 apples cut up into 3 containers, an entire green pepper cut up into 2 containers, a container of hummus and 8 water crackers, 2 halves of a turkey sandwich. I ate all of that except 1/2 of a sandwich, plus I had pretzels and a cookie on the plane. My suitcase was overweight, so I had to take out my jeans, slippers, and coat and squish them into my carryon/laptop bag.
I would have liked to sleep longer this morning than I did. Way too much to do at home, but trying desperately to keep having the memories of my trip alive so that I can think about the feelings and emotions that I had.
Planning Ribs tonight or tomorrow. I will take the 3-5 pound gain.
Day 37—09/28 — 136.4 - Nice weight considering that I had Ribs last evening. I attribute the weight to a few things: I was feeling so strong up at the cabin, gathering wood, up and over so many rocks eating healthy, many squats when making the fire, I felt lean the whole time that I was there but my weight didn't reflect it, maybe that is catching up. I ate early last night, 5pm, went to bed early but woke up with terrible cramping at 1am. I got up, took 2 magnesium and had 2 small glasses of Cran10. I drank water all day, but I didn't put anything in it even though I do have lemons and lemon juice. I know better, water robs electrolytes when you drink quite a bit of it. I will be sure to add lemon today. Got up at 5am like I have been, but was very tired so went back to bed and listened to the radio for a half hour and went back to sleep. I put the bedside radio on for my usual 7am Classical music hour on CBC and got out of bed at 8am and weighed. So later weigh time. Most things (for me) take many days to show up on the scale. The next 2 days I have a great deal of work to do outside because after that it is going to rain until October 10th. I will cut the grass, begin digging the potato garden which will likely take 8 hours to complete, getting the weeds out, digging up the potatoes, then covering the area with the thick black plastic. I did some harvesting yesterday, and I had done a bunch before I left. There are still 24 pepper plants in 2 6'X3' beds to uncover and harvest what grew while I was away plus weed those. I eat an entire pepper raw each day, so I will save about 14 of those in the fridge and begin prepping the rest for freezing during the rainy days before I go back to work on Friday. I will make Nachos tonight with all of my fresh peppers and tomatoes, and pita pizza tomorrow night with the same.
Day 38—09/29 — 136.4 - I expected a large gain today because yesterday I definitely overheated in the digging in the potato garden under the sun. I will try to get a bunch done in there this morning once it gets light out. Smoky skies, (air quality advisory) but I have to do this before it begins to rain tomorrow. Potatoes won't tumble if it is mud, they become too hard to find. The thing that takes so long is getting the weeds out. I hope to be able to get it all covered also, so that airborne weeds don't plant themselves. Sadly the ones that are tightly wrapped around the potato plants and have to be untangled (bindweed) grow their network 8 feet underground. I see that there are green beans ready to pick : - ) Those can be picked in the rain, keeping my priorities straight : - )
Several rows are done. There are a few potato plants that aren't ready though. They stop being green when they are ready, they turn like yellow and dehydrated looking when they are ready. So in the photo there are 2 green ones in rows that are complete. Not sure what I am going to do about that yet, I will think about it.
Day 39—09/30 — 135.8 - Well, I usually gain when I am so physical in the yard. The temperature was the same, but the sun wasn't beating down on me making sweat drip into my eyes despite my terry headband. I basically spent the entire day out in my yard, plus Fitness Marshall before all of that so that I would be limbered up and not hurt myself. Having said that, my right shoulder and right hand and fingers are very sore this morning from all of that digging. Lots of squatting and lunging and twisting. Putting on the big black tarp was hilarious because it was windy. but it is done. I had some potatoes down the side too, I often do because the potatoes that I have leftover in the bucket after planting my big space need to be planted somewhere. The 2 green plants only had quite small potatoes. All of the tiny ones I just leave in the ground. Normally I leave the potatoes on the soil that they came out of for 24 hours, but I did not want them to get wet so into buckets they went.
I've still got some lovely flowers growing:
Black plastic on, and clear plastic over everything else that isn't quite finished yet (peppers and tomatoes)
Look at these beautiful carrots! Beets and carrots will be good for quite some time yet.
Before photo of where else I have some potatoes, up against the neighbour's ugly wall
And here is what I got out of that little area:

Sorry to hear about the tooth. I’ve been there and know having a root canal redo isn’t the most pleasant way to spend the day. I hope the rest goes well.

@dawnbgethealthy Another great garden extravaganza! I’m tired just reading about all the work you do in the garden. I’m impressed that you preserve and feed yourself from your garden.

Hi. I’m an unretired (by choice) senior from central B.C., Canada. Back for another round. Am an absolute turtle at losing and a hare at backsliding! This round my hope it to hang on to each loss then move down from there. Put an end to this eternal yo-yoing.

@age_is_just_a_number Thanks for that handy link. I used to have a food scale which I mostly used for weighing yarn scraps, but I had forgotten about the trick of weighing a bowl, then resetting to zero. Very handy for weighing ingredients when baking.
Day 36—09/27— 138.5 lb. See - just a little more effort in the bathroom before hopping on the scale!!!
Day 37—09/28— 138.6 lb.
Day 38—09/29— 138.4 lb.
Day 39—09/30— DNW. I bought a digital kitchen scale at the Sally Army - only $3. The idea is to weigh my food so I can get a more accurate calorie count, rather than just listing eg one bread roll, without an idea of whether it's the same size as the one I'm eating.
Day 40—10/01— 138 lb. Only 4 lb to go!

Today 139.6 New scale vs 140.2 old scale.
7 day trend 140.8 New scale vs 141.0 old scale.
The new scale seems to weight .5lbs lighter than the old scale. It is a weird way to lose a half a pound; in a few weeks, months, years, a half of a pound won't matter. I get more data with the new scale and will be giving my old scale to my eldest son.

Hi : - )
I am Dawn. I will turn 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week.

Week 5 Goal:
135.0136.5Week 5 Actual Weight: 136.2
Day 36—09/27 — 136.8 - That was a long slog of travel, plane delays etc. I packed lots and lots of food: 2 apples cut up into 3 containers, an entire green pepper cut up into 2 containers, a container of hummus and 8 water crackers, 2 halves of a turkey sandwich. I ate all of that except 1/2 of a sandwich, plus I had pretzels and a cookie on the plane. My suitcase was overweight, so I had to take out my jeans, slippers, and coat and squish them into my carryon/laptop bag.
I would have liked to sleep longer this morning than I did. Way too much to do at home, but trying desperately to keep having the memories of my trip alive so that I can think about the feelings and emotions that I had.
Planning Ribs tonight or tomorrow. I will take the 3-5 pound gain.
Day 37—09/28 — 136.4 - Nice weight considering that I had Ribs last evening. I attribute the weight to a few things: I was feeling so strong up at the cabin, gathering wood, up and over so many rocks eating healthy, many squats when making the fire, I felt lean the whole time that I was there but my weight didn't reflect it, maybe that is catching up. I ate early last night, 5pm, went to bed early but woke up with terrible cramping at 1am. I got up, took 2 magnesium and had 2 small glasses of Cran10. I drank water all day, but I didn't put anything in it even though I do have lemons and lemon juice. I know better, water robs electrolytes when you drink quite a bit of it. I will be sure to add lemon today. Got up at 5am like I have been, but was very tired so went back to bed and listened to the radio for a half hour and went back to sleep. I put the bedside radio on for my usual 7am Classical music hour on CBC and got out of bed at 8am and weighed. So later weigh time. Most things (for me) take many days to show up on the scale. The next 2 days I have a great deal of work to do outside because after that it is going to rain until October 10th. I will cut the grass, begin digging the potato garden which will likely take 8 hours to complete, getting the weeds out, digging up the potatoes, then covering the area with the thick black plastic. I did some harvesting yesterday, and I had done a bunch before I left. There are still 24 pepper plants in 2 6'X3' beds to uncover and harvest what grew while I was away plus weed those. I eat an entire pepper raw each day, so I will save about 14 of those in the fridge and begin prepping the rest for freezing during the rainy days before I go back to work on Friday. I will make Nachos tonight with all of my fresh peppers and tomatoes, and pita pizza tomorrow night with the same.
Day 38—09/29 — 136.4 - I expected a large gain today because yesterday I definitely overheated in the digging in the potato garden under the sun. I will try to get a bunch done in there this morning once it gets light out. Smoky skies, (air quality advisory) but I have to do this before it begins to rain tomorrow. Potatoes won't tumble if it is mud, they become too hard to find. The thing that takes so long is getting the weeds out. I hope to be able to get it all covered also, so that airborne weeds don't plant themselves. Sadly the ones that are tightly wrapped around the potato plants and have to be untangled (bindweed) grow their network 8 feet underground. I see that there are green beans ready to pick : - ) Those can be picked in the rain, keeping my priorities straight : - )
Several rows are done. There are a few potato plants that aren't ready though. They stop being green when they are ready, they turn like yellow and dehydrated looking when they are ready. So in the photo there are 2 green ones in rows that are complete. Not sure what I am going to do about that yet, I will think about it.
Day 39—09/30 — 135.8 - Well, I usually gain when I am so physical in the yard. The temperature was the same, but the sun wasn't beating down on me making sweat drip into my eyes despite my terry headband. I basically spent the entire day out in my yard, plus Fitness Marshall before all of that so that I would be limbered up and not hurt myself. Having said that, my right shoulder and right hand and fingers are very sore this morning from all of that digging. Lots of squatting and lunging and twisting. Putting on the big black tarp was hilarious because it was windy. but it is done. I had some potatoes down the side too, I often do because the potatoes that I have leftover in the bucket after planting my big space need to be planted somewhere. The 2 green plants only had quite small potatoes. All of the tiny ones I just leave in the ground. Normally I leave the potatoes on the soil that they came out of for 24 hours, but I did not want them to get wet so into buckets they went.
Day 40—10/01 — 136.6 - This is heaven for me to be able to "work" straight through in the garden when I am on a roll, and not have to get cleaned up for work. I love being out there. My best garden was the year of the pandemic when many of us got laid off, but the government paid us $2k per month. How lovely it would be if I could retire some day, apparently 65 is not the magic number for me.

Good Afternoon!
Day 36—09/27— 161.4 - Got my apartment straightened up yesterday and went through my linen closet to do some purging and get out the fall linens. I still have to work on my pantry....it's a mess. Today I have to pick up salad mix and my prescription and take in my brother's mail. The weather is still lousy and I can't ride my bike.
Day 37—09/28— 161 - Got a taco bowl for lunch....actually, that will be my meal for the day, and that's ok. Its cooled off a bit today, but the Eagles are on so I am enjoying the game. Lots of water today...things are moving too slowly, if you get my drift. 😉
Day 38—09/29— 161.2 - I am in a bit of a plateau, but I have been here before. I wanted to get that WHOOSH before tomorrow when I have my Endo appointment, but I'll take what I can get...I am still lighter than at my last appointment. I had an Atkins shake for breakfast. Not sure about the rest of the day.
I found an AI rendering of a popsicle house decorated for the holidays and I thought it was very cute so I generated an AI tutorial (very appropriate) to create it and I really want to try and make it. We'll see if I can. First I have to be able to afford the materials needed.
Day 39—09/30— I cant remember and I couldn't post anyway because there is a problem with my WiFi.
Day 40—10/01— 161.8 - Problem with WiFi still exists. I am using mobile which I have to pay for, so I will make this brief....sorry. Will update when I figure out what is going on.

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.

There is no point in starting Oct with a falsely inflated number and then making a loss in October look easy when we all know it never is. I prefer giving myself credit for actual weight/fat loss. I didn’t get the crown done (yet). The x-ray showed an abscess below the crown. Luckily no pain but I had no idea. I already have a root canal under that crown but apparently the rod did not go down far enough into the canal which left a pocket open for bacteria. Now I need another root canal AND still the crown replacement. I am waiting for the final quote and appointment. I know it will be upwards of $4000.00. Darn, I could have completely redone my son’s 700 sq foot basement “apartment” with that amount of money which is a project that is badly needed.
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 Day 40—10/01—183.0 ❌ (Trend Weight – 183.9)$3800.00 for the dental work quote but my insurance will pay for 50%. $1900.00 is still more than I would like to put out, especially in December which is when the appointment is. Ah well, no point in crying over spilt milk, right? Anyway, it looks like 183 is my starting point after the travel. It’s the exact weight I started the week with. Time to get busy! August was a great month for me but September was not. I hope October will be a good one. I’m a little worried though. This is a Candy-filled month and I have that ferocious sweet tooth. Maybe I can sharpen that tool called Portion Control and make it through with some progress anyway.

@deepwoodslady I hear you about October. I'm already thinking about how to reduce the amount of chocolate I eat. Typically, we only get 12-20 trick or treaters, but buy full sized chocolate bars for 36 kids (2 - 18 packs). That translates into my husband and I each eating about 10 full sized chocolate bars over the course of a week. I know, I will suggest to my husband to only buy 20 bars, but then he'll say 'what if this year we get more kids?'. I love Halloween. I've got 30 days to figure this one out.

Day 36—09/27— 138.5 lb. See - just a little more effort in the bathroom before hopping on the scale!!!
Day 37—09/28— 138.6 lb.
Day 38—09/29— 138.4 lb.
Day 39—09/30— DNW. I bought a digital kitchen scale at the Sally Army - only $3. The idea is to weigh my food so I can get a more accurate calorie count, rather than just listing eg one bread roll, without an idea of whether it's the same size as the one I'm eating.
Day 40—10/01— 138 lb. Only 4 lb to go!
Day 41—10/02— 137 lb. Jeepers!!! how did that happen so fast? now I'm wondering if the scale is completely accurate - maybe it shifted position or something? I think I may have to wait to see how much I weigh next time I'm at the doctor. Her scale will likely be more accurate than mine (she does take off a couple of pounds for clothing).

Hi : - )
I am Dawn. I will turn 65 this round. I have changed my eating habits over time. I basically eat half of the amount that I used to, and have limited eating Ribs to once every 3 months instead of once per week.
Week 1 Start Weight: 137.8
Week 1 Goal: 136.8
Week 1 Actual Weight: 140.8 - Exactly a 3 pound gain : - (
Week 2 Start Weight: 140.2

Week 2 Actual Weight: 137.6
Week 3 Start Weight: 137.6

Week 3 Actual Weight: 136.5
Week 4 Start Weight: 135.2
Week 4 Goal: 135.0
Week 4 Actual Weight: 136.0
Week 5 Start Weight: 136.0 - on my 65th birthday
Week 5 Goal:
135.0136.5Week 5 Actual Weight: 136.2
Day 36—09/27 — 136.8 - That was a long slog of travel, plane delays etc. I packed lots and lots of food: 2 apples cut up into 3 containers, an entire green pepper cut up into 2 containers, a container of hummus and 8 water crackers, 2 halves of a turkey sandwich. I ate all of that except 1/2 of a sandwich, plus I had pretzels and a cookie on the plane. My suitcase was overweight, so I had to take out my jeans, slippers, and coat and squish them into my carryon/laptop bag.
I would have liked to sleep longer this morning than I did. Way too much to do at home, but trying desperately to keep having the memories of my trip alive so that I can think about the feelings and emotions that I had.
Planning Ribs tonight or tomorrow. I will take the 3-5 pound gain.
Day 37—09/28 — 136.4 - Nice weight considering that I had Ribs last evening. I attribute the weight to a few things: I was feeling so strong up at the cabin, gathering wood, up and over so many rocks eating healthy, many squats when making the fire, I felt lean the whole time that I was there but my weight didn't reflect it, maybe that is catching up. I ate early last night, 5pm, went to bed early but woke up with terrible cramping at 1am. I got up, took 2 magnesium and had 2 small glasses of Cran10. I drank water all day, but I didn't put anything in it even though I do have lemons and lemon juice. I know better, water robs electrolytes when you drink quite a bit of it. I will be sure to add lemon today. Got up at 5am like I have been, but was very tired so went back to bed and listened to the radio for a half hour and went back to sleep. I put the bedside radio on for my usual 7am Classical music hour on CBC and got out of bed at 8am and weighed. So later weigh time. Most things (for me) take many days to show up on the scale. The next 2 days I have a great deal of work to do outside because after that it is going to rain until October 10th. I will cut the grass, begin digging the potato garden which will likely take 8 hours to complete, getting the weeds out, digging up the potatoes, then covering the area with the thick black plastic. I did some harvesting yesterday, and I had done a bunch before I left. There are still 24 pepper plants in 2 6'X3' beds to uncover and harvest what grew while I was away plus weed those. I eat an entire pepper raw each day, so I will save about 14 of those in the fridge and begin prepping the rest for freezing during the rainy days before I go back to work on Friday. I will make Nachos tonight with all of my fresh peppers and tomatoes, and pita pizza tomorrow night with the same.
Day 38—09/29 — 136.4 - I expected a large gain today because yesterday I definitely overheated in the digging in the potato garden under the sun. I will try to get a bunch done in there this morning once it gets light out. Smoky skies, (air quality advisory) but I have to do this before it begins to rain tomorrow. Potatoes won't tumble if it is mud, they become too hard to find. The thing that takes so long is getting the weeds out. I hope to be able to get it all covered also, so that airborne weeds don't plant themselves. Sadly the ones that are tightly wrapped around the potato plants and have to be untangled (bindweed) grow their network 8 feet underground. I see that there are green beans ready to pick : - ) Those can be picked in the rain, keeping my priorities straight : - )
Several rows are done. There are a few potato plants that aren't ready though. They stop being green when they are ready, they turn like yellow and dehydrated looking when they are ready. So in the photo there are 2 green ones in rows that are complete. Not sure what I am going to do about that yet, I will think about it.
Day 39—09/30 — 135.8 - Well, I usually gain when I am so physical in the yard. The temperature was the same, but the sun wasn't beating down on me making sweat drip into my eyes despite my terry headband. I basically spent the entire day out in my yard, plus Fitness Marshall before all of that so that I would be limbered up and not hurt myself. Having said that, my right shoulder and right hand and fingers are very sore this morning from all of that digging. Lots of squatting and lunging and twisting. Putting on the big black tarp was hilarious because it was windy. but it is done. I had some potatoes down the side too, I often do because the potatoes that I have leftover in the bucket after planting my big space need to be planted somewhere. The 2 green plants only had quite small potatoes. All of the tiny ones I just leave in the ground. Normally I leave the potatoes on the soil that they came out of for 24 hours, but I did not want them to get wet so into buckets they went.
Day 40—10/01 — 136.6 - This is heaven for me to be able to "work" straight through in the garden when I am on a roll, and not have to get cleaned up for work. I love being out there. My best garden was the year of the pandemic when many of us got laid off, but the government paid us $2k per month. How lovely it would be if I could retire some day, apparently 65 is not the magic number for me.
Day 41—10/02 — 137.6 - Weighed 3 hours earlier, so 1 pound up. I made some fake pasta alfredo for dinner. I used to be able to buy it around here, the stuff was called Kanjac and from a root. Now I get it from Amazon, and it is a 2 pack. I always like things that have fiber. I had some nice sauteed peppers and onions as a side.

@tinathescreamer Home scales are almost never that accurate. If you're curious, you can do a test with anything you have that you believe has an accurate weight.
