Hi : - )
I am Dawn. I turned 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. I eat everything, just less of it and/or less often. I topped out at 207, at 5'2" that is not healthy at all! I joined MFP at 198lbs. Ultimate health goal for my arthritic feet is 110-118.

Day 85—11/15 — 137.2 - Getting 2 days off per week officially came into play yesterday. I'm not sure if it will begin this coming week or later on. It will be an adjustment for me after years of 6 or 7 days per week. I will hit my stride after getting used to it.
Day 86—11/16 — 137.4 - I have been re-arranging my downstairs bathroom for the last couple of days, because the plumber comes tomorrow to service my pump down there and everything was in front of it. I had to take apart the over the toilet shelving unit which was a bit hilarious. This morning before work I will clean everything down there, which is my primary bathroom. I actually never use the one on the main floor. No final answer yet as to whether my schedule will change starting tomorrow or not. I really need the 2 days off in a row to get the rest of my garden harvested, turned over, mulched/composted, and covered until April.
Day 87—11/17 — 137.8 - Day off tomorrow, so tonight might be a bit indulgent, probably the 6 frozen cooked chicken wings left out of the box of 12. I almost skipped dinner last night, but I had made it, so ate it. Jump up on the scale, it was 400 calories that I didn't need I guess. Watched the Grey Cup from work, and then when I got home (I live close to work, so left during a commercial). Starting next week I am going to get 2 days off per week instead of 1!! Yay! I have one garden bed left to do, I will get a start on it after work today and then spend all day tomorrow on it. Awaiting the plumber this morning. Argh to having to take apart the over toilet cabinet, moving everything, and cleaning. I will slowly put it back together over the course of this week.
Day 88—11/18 — 137.4 - My neighbour had a pack of frozen chicken cordon bleu that she inadvertently had thawed. She offered me 2, because as we know you can't refreeze thawed chicken. I cooked them both in the toaster over….and ate both!!! I had a half cup of basmati underneath. Delicious. Way over my usual calorie intake, but I still ended up with a deficit for the day and lost .4 of a pound. Maybe it will catch up with me in days to come. We are in a water advisory for 2 days, so I have many things filled with water. Raining on my one day off today, as I knew that it would be, so I went hard in the garden past dark.
I had planned to process all day today, but with the water advisory I think that I will have to wait, and save all of my buckets of water for flushing and stuff. I did trim all of the tops and put them as mulch before covering. I took the photo of the bed covered from my kitchen window once it became light this morning. Those are lettuces that I let go to seed in the foreground.
If the rain stops I will get out for a walk. Not wasting water on cleaning today lol. I had a fantastic bath last night after the garden in preparation for not having water for 2 days. Today will be lots of Fitness Marshall, and I don't know what else I will get up to today. All of the things that I normally do include water.

Good Morning!
@JimnKC , still going strong, I see....WTG!
@dawnbgethealthy , WOW....those veggies! Great job!
Day 85—11/15— 159.4 - My daughter called and I could tell she was sad so I decided to cheer her up and asked if she wanted me to go to the Amish Market and get some pretzel cheese dogs and she didn't say no. So I went over there. The LINES! I waited 15 or 20 minutes to get service. I also got 2 cinnamon sugar pretzels. Daughter was happier with the treat. I had one pretzel dog for lunch and one for dinner and finished off the grapes.
Day 86—11/16— 159.4 - Making dinner for my daughter at my ex's....coulotte steaks, roasted potatoes and asparagus....all on the grill. I hope it comes out OK. Not having a grill at my apartment, I don't get a chance to use a grill. But its the best way to do steaks, of course. 🙂
Day 87—11/17— 159.4 - I seem to be holding my own this week. I won't complain.
The dinner came out great, if I do say so myself....everything was delicious. My daughter said it was the best meal she'd had since she started staying with my ex. It was a bit labor intensive since I was doing everything myself, but worth it. I was SO tired when I got home....but it was a good tired.
I had one of my chicken breakfast sandwiches with an added slice of cheese, because they really skimp on the cheese. Not sure what the rest of the day holds.

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.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

CURRENT WEEK:
Day 86—11/16—180.2 ↔️ (Trend Weight: 182.5)
Day 87—11/17—178.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 182.1) Woot Woot! I’ve made it into the new decade of the 170’s. Now for the dancing back & forth over the line stage. I envision the scene of Jimmy Steward and Donna Reed in “It’s a Wonderful Life”. As George & Mary Bailey (before marriage) dancing to and from that line that opens to the pool. Legs dangling over the edge, poised to fall in over and over. And they absolutely do. And I will too. Likely many times. However, I’ll try not to focus on the water but, like them, enjoy the dance. I’m so happy today I could scream! I’ve looked over my records for the past (many) years and traditionally I gain 2-4 pounds just in November alone. And then there is December. I am going to focus on the fact that it’s mine to keep or mine to lose. I can decide.
🦃🦃🦃🦃 Day 88—11/18—179.4 ❌ (Trend Weight: 181.8) A bounce back up a bit today but I’m not sweating it. Still thrilled with recent results. I did finally scratch that itch for pizza yesterday but stayed within my calorie goal and hit all my macros. Probably not the best choice, but I’m over that craving so it can’t lead me into a “feeling denied binge”. Today I’m back on track with healthier foods planned. My goal is plenty of water and some extra movement. Lots of sleep last night which caused a bit of a late weigh-in, but I’m feeling rested and prepared!

@deepwoodslady Congratulations on getting into the 170s. I knew you'd get there!
Regarding history…. it is true, we can learn a lot from history, but it does not define us and we can also break with historical trends.
Regarding drinking lots of water…. I definitely find that when I am more mindful and tracking my water, my scale results are more favourable. It fills me up, I eat less, I feel better.@Crochetluvr Glad your grilling turned out well.
@frankwbrown I'll take your comment as agreement to a mini-challenge within the 100 day challenge to lose 4 pounds in the next six weeks. Let's do it!
@Lilylady3k What does the "AF" mean in your posts?
Eating away from home always seems 'harder' than eating at home. Planning ahead is important. I hope your DIL and grandkids are feeling better.
@dawnbgethealthy I've been tracking those 'if every day were like today' MFP predictions. So far, I'm no where near their predictions. At the same time, my average IN calories have been no where near where they were five weeks ago. It is all interesting data and another motivating factor to keep on track.
As always, your garden is amazing.
@bteri107 Depending on who you ask, a little wine is good for you. The older I get the more I find it disrupts my sleep. I still enjoy it, in moderation.

Posting late today. Had a really great workout yesterday and walked the dog. But I think I over did it and my left ankle is complaining today. Just did two FitOn mobility videos to stretch my lower body. I also iced my ankle and took some Aleve. Hopefully, one day of rest will be sufficient and I'll be back to my exercise area tomorrow.

I keep forgetting to mention: Last week my husband and I finally installed my new pull up bar.
In challenge 23, I shared pictures of my at home workout area (100 day Challenge #23 May15.25 – August 22.25 - Page 30 — MyFitnessPal.com).
Update with the new pull up bar. I can't do a pull up yet. But it is one of my goals. What I'm doing to work up to being able to do a pull up is to get myself up on the bar and hold as long as I can and then slow lower myself down. Any other suggestions on working up to do a pull up are welcome.

@age_is_just_a_number That's an affirmative on the six week mini-challenge! 👍
I've seen a lot of good advice on the Squat University channel. Here's one re: pull ups:

To everyone: Of course, anyone else want to join this mini-challenge within a challenge, you are more than welcome! It will cross over into Challenge #25. Just a little year-end push to start 2026 on a good footing.
@frankwbrown Great on the mini-challenge. I've put together a little tracking chart. Please confirm I picked up the correct starting weight and goal weight for you. To keep things easy, I've stuck with the 100 day challenge week end dates.

Quiet day yesterday as I R-I-C-Ed my ankle. Did walk the dog. Was trying to target lower calories, but really I just need a good 1700 calories to have enough energy. Slow and steady. Scale is a little up today, but nothing drastic. Trend is coming back down and that is what I keep my eye on. Seeing more green on my summary… like @plantpowered , I find the green very motivating.
Also, related to motivation, I'm closing the gap in that 'where you'd be in 5 weeks':
Blue is actual 7 day trend. Orange is MFP 'where you'd be in 5 weeks' 7 day average from 5 weeks ago. They are all still below the MFP prediction. But seeing that orange line get closer to the blue line is encouraging. Everyday is a new day to get them even closer and possibly one day have the orange line above the blue line. Only time and consistency will tell the story.

I've got my food and exercise goals dialed-in right now. If I hit those consistently, I see progress. @age_is_just_a_number: the visuals help so much when you've got your targets dialed-in. Conditional formatting rocks!
I've only lost 10 lbs, but it feels like a bigger change, so I checked my scale's app. I'm normally only tracking the weight here. When I started round 1 in May, the scale was reading 40% body fat, and now it reads 35.5%, but here's the better news: the scale also gives a lean mass vs fat mass calculation, and my lean mass has remained constant, but the fat mass has decreased, for whatever that's worth. I have been very consistent with the exercise side, including weight training, flexibility work, VO2Max. I fear sarcopenia and frailty at my age, so this is encouraging. Have a great day, everyone.

Good Morning, Friends!
@deepwoodslady, CONGRATS on hitting the 170's!! I know what a great feeling that is! Onward and downward!!
@JimnKC , I bet you are excited! Onederland is on the horizon!
Day 85—11/15— 159.4 - My daughter called and I could tell she was sad so I decided to cheer her up and asked if she wanted me to go to the Amish Market and get some pretzel cheese dogs and she didn't say no. So I went over there. The LINES! I waited 15 or 20 minutes to get service. I also got 2 cinnamon sugar pretzels. Daughter was happier with the treat. I had one pretzel dog for lunch and one for dinner and finished off the grapes.
Day 86—11/16— 159.4 - Making dinner for my daughter at my ex's....coulotte steaks, roasted potatoes and asparagus....all on the grill. I hope it comes out OK. Not having a grill at my apartment, I don't get a chance to use a grill. But its the best way to do steaks, of course. 🙂
Day 87—11/17— 159.4 - I seem to be holding my own this week. I won't complain.
The dinner came out great, if I do say so myself....everything was delicious. My daughter said it was the best meal she'd had since she started staying with my ex. It was a bit labor intensive since I was doing everything myself, but worth it. I was SO tired when I got home....but it was a good tired.
I had one of my chicken breakfast sandwiches with an added slice of cheese, because they really skimp on the cheese. Not sure what the rest of the day holds.
Day 88—11/18— Forgot to weigh
Day 89—11/19— 161.4 - Went to the Asian buffet for dinner last night....my friend's treat....that's why the increase. I was expecting it. Back to normal today. But I got crab legs...my favorite!
Miserable day out...rainy and cold. And I have to go out and pick up an order at Macy's.

@age_is_just_a_number Yes, those starting and goal weights look good. Like you, I like @plantpowered's use of color. I'm too lazy to track calories, but I created this chart of my daily weight difference for the challenge so far. For me, my daily weight is irrelavent. What's important is my change in weight. So I focused on only that one metric. I'll try refining this for the next challenge.

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.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Day 87—11/17—178.8 ✅ (Trend Weight – 182.1)
Day 88—11/18—179.4 ❌ (Trend Weight: 181.8) A bounce back up a bit today but I’m not sweating it. Still thrilled with recent results. I did finally scratch that itch for pizza yesterday but stayed within my calorie goal and hit all my macros. Probably not the best choice, but I’m over that craving so it can’t lead me into a “feeling denied binge”. Today I’m back on track with healthier foods planned. My goal is plenty of water and some extra movement. Lots of sleep last night which caused a bit of a late weigh-in, but I’m feeling rested and prepared!
🦃🦃🦃🦃 Day 89—11/19—178.4 ✅ (Trend Weight: 181.5) I have never been so happy to be “overweight” ! According to the BMI charts I am out of the “obese” category and into the “overweight” category now. This is a big step for me as it’s all about health. This diabetic/thyroid belly is starting to deflate a bit and I envision my fatty liver getting better and my visceral fat shrinking with less strangulation on my organs. I added a little something to my exercise yesterday and I finally drank more water. Both helped. My sleep has been pretty good the past couple of days too. I did go for much lower calories yesterday after the pizzeria outing the day before tilted the scale back up a bit in order to make up for it. I treated it like a bill that needed paying. I’m out of debt on that and back to my normal macros today. It really helped that I did not have any out-of-town appointments or excursions this past week. That won’t be the case leading into Thanksgiving.

Hi : - )
I am Dawn. I turned 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. I eat everything, just less of it and/or less often. I topped out at 207, at 5'2" that is not healthy at all! I joined MFP at 198lbs. Ultimate health goal for my arthritic feet is 110-118.

Day 85—11/15 — 137.2 - Getting 2 days off per week officially came into play yesterday. I'm not sure if it will begin this coming week or later on. It will be an adjustment for me after years of 6 or 7 days per week. I will hit my stride after getting used to it.
Day 86—11/16 — 137.4 - I have been re-arranging my downstairs bathroom for the last couple of days, because the plumber comes tomorrow to service my pump down there and everything was in front of it. I had to take apart the over the toilet shelving unit which was a bit hilarious. This morning before work I will clean everything down there, which is my primary bathroom. I actually never use the one on the main floor. No final answer yet as to whether my schedule will change starting tomorrow or not. I really need the 2 days off in a row to get the rest of my garden harvested, turned over, mulched/composted, and covered until April.
Day 87—11/17 — 137.8 - Day off tomorrow, so tonight might be a bit indulgent, probably the 6 frozen cooked chicken wings left out of the box of 12. I almost skipped dinner last night, but I had made it, so ate it. Jump up on the scale, it was 400 calories that I didn't need I guess. Watched the Grey Cup from work, and then when I got home (I live close to work, so left during a commercial). Starting next week I am going to get 2 days off per week instead of 1!! Yay! I have one garden bed left to do, I will get a start on it after work today and then spend all day tomorrow on it. Awaiting the plumber this morning. Argh to having to take apart the over toilet cabinet, moving everything, and cleaning. I will slowly put it back together over the course of this week.
Day 88—11/18 — 137.4 - My neighbour had a pack of frozen chicken cordon bleu that she inadvertently had thawed. She offered me 2, because as we know you can't refreeze thawed chicken. I cooked them both in the toaster over….and ate both!!! I had a half cup of basmati underneath. Delicious. Way over my usual calorie intake, but I still ended up with a deficit for the day and lost .4 of a pound. Maybe it will catch up with me in days to come. We are in a water advisory for 2 days, so I have many things filled with water. Raining on my one day off today, as I knew that it would be, so I went hard in the garden past dark.
I had planned to process beets and carrots all day today, but with the water advisory I think that I will have to wait, and save all of my buckets of water for flushing and stuff.
If the rain stops I will get out for a walk. Not wasting water on cleaning today lol. I had a fantastic bath last night after the garden in preparation for not having water for 2 days. Today will be lots of Fitness Marshall, and I don't know what else I will get up to today. All of the things that I normally do include water.
Day 89—11/19 — 136.8 - Water advisory was not lifted, not getting my Wednesdays off this week and next : - ( I could have taken a job at Joseph creek (LTC + Independent living) but I am feeling sorry for myself so I am going to go to my first public skating of the season after work today instead of taking a job/working : - )

@deepwoodslady Congratulations on getting into the 170s! Slow and steady wins the race!
@dawnbgethealthy Your garden vegetables look so healthy and hearty! I’ve had an area in my yard picked out for a garden for over a year now. I just need a kick in my you-know-what to get it started. I keep thinking I'll have more time after I retire, but maybe I can start now if I start slow.
@age _is_just_a_number Hope your ankle is feeling better today. Where did you get your workout bench from? I saw a 67 year old woman on IG do pull ups like there’s no tomorrow. I admire your ambition!

Day 88—11/18—147.1 Dinner out with one of my besties. We shared an appetizer and entree. However, 2 glasses of wine and a little snacking before bed probably aided in the uptick in weight.
Yesterday’s activity: Peloton cycle class
Day 89—11/19—147.1 Minor surgery tomorrow. In and out same day, but I probably won’t be able to exercise for at least 2 – 3 days.

Nice use of conditional formatting. I have something similar, but on a week average.
I need to track IN calories. I've tried ‘intuitive tracking’ and gained 7 pounds in a year. For certain, I will track IN calories until I've reached my goals. Likely, I will track them much longer than that. My husband has even stopped complaining about me tracking my food.

@bteri107 Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. Wishing you the very best results and a speedy recovery!

@deepwoodslady Congratulations!! You are doing great!

@bteri107 re”Where did you get your workout bench from? ” —> Costco. It is available other places. It is pretty basic, but does have two levels and storage. I have to admit, I don't use it that often.
I hope your surgery went well.
I scaled back my workout and iced my ankle. It's feeling somewhat better. Thank you

@deepwoodslady - Congrats on getting the 170s to stick for 3 days in a row!!! I totally get your excitement of being overweight instead of obese. Inspiring!

@dawnbgethealthy - Your mental and physical health are important too. Wonderful decision to go skating … it makes you so happy! I still remember a pic you posted and the smile on your face when skating … it is how I remember you.

🎯 Started strong and then just got back into the maintain mode. Not complaining since it is lower than my last 209-211 holding pattern. But really want to strive to feeling more comfortable in a bathing suit before cruising in the South Pacific in March. Pep Talk Time! 6 months … half a year! Plenty of time to lose 20-30 pounds if I focus on 5 lbs per month … basically a pound a week. Dedicate the next 24 weeks to breaking through those mental barriers and pushing the holding pattern lower and lower. Next month’s goal … <2039/1: 209.8 / 208.4 - Yikes! Strong & Fit class

9/5: 206.8 / 207.7 - Did a sleep study at home last night to rule out secondary causes for the blood lab results. Interesting sleeping with all these things connected to your body. No exercise; grandparents day event

9/9: 208.6 / 207.8 - Crazy busy day coordinating and testing 58 adult ESL students plus my art class. My Marley Spoon box came in. I love the variety that they offer and the meals are healthy though the portions are too big. It made it really easy to serve pork loin with butternut squash and Brussels sprouts.
9/10: 207.8 / 207.9 - bike 30 min Today I’m devoting to watercolor and making sure I get on my bike. I had 2 compliments that I’m trimming up (especially the legs) … due to the almost daily bike ride. My hematologist oncologist visit was cancelled for today after they tried for 3 weeks to get insurance approval for the lab work. No reason to see him if we have no lab results to review. When I switch to Medicare in October the lab work will not need approval and will be covered. I guess there is one good thing about turning 65 soon.

🎯 Proud of my efforts during cruising. Every little bit helps and not gaining when away from home is a huge win! Glimpsed 202 this month but then it slipped away. I’ll see it again hopefully next week.11/1: 204.5 / 203.7 bike 45

11/20: 202.3 / 202.8Dined out twice yesterday. Wonderful Italian wine bar restaurant called Enoteca Rossa "in town" for a celebration lunch with DH … 42 years. A taste of DH's caesar salad, half eggplant parmesan, taste of tiramisu, and a glass of wine (2 waters LOL). Eating out is EXPENSIVE but I don't need the big portions and did not justify eating it all due to $. New for me this year … but I ate till I felt comfortable not stuffed. I heard my mom in my head … clean your plate and ignored the thought.
Then since I run the book club and my backup peeps that would run the discussion for me were out of the country traveling … I drove back into town and hosted book club at a restaurant Mia's Table in the evening. I limited myself to an Asian chopped salad (which is cabbage, peanuts, some fried wontons) with dressing on the side and grilled chicken.
My choices seemed to work … nothing too salty and didn't finish either meal. Treated my eating out like I did my meals on the cruises. Win for me on the scale.
