Wish I could take credit for the idea, but I "stole" it from another. I'm more than happy to keep kicking it off though, and weighing in (literally and figuratively).
Name: Matt
Height: 6'3"
Starting Weight (6/1): 299.6 lbs
Goal Weight (6/30): 285.0 lbs
6/1: 299.6
6/4: 298.8
6/11: 294.8
6/18: 290.2
6/25: 290.6
6/30:
Loss/gain for the week: Gain 0.4
Loss/gain for the month: 9.0
Struggles or successes of your week:
I expected there would be a lull in my weight loss to account for the acceleration the last few weeks; so I'm not discouraged by the slight gain.
I haven't had the weather/time for cardio the last week (Storms most nights & when it's not I'm tied up otherwise), so I've slacked off the last week. I have a 5K this weekend (Insane Inflatable 5K), so that will be fun. Will end up walking though as my wife's friend is attending and she can't jog due to health issues. We're going to find another to jog later in the summer or fall.
Hopefully the weather stays clear, and the stressors stay away too.0 -
Does this challenge start over every month?0

Yep, I'll keep putting up new months as long as people keep logging in; I try to set one up on the last day of the previous month (If I disappear, hopefully someone else will pick up the torch).0

Great Job; I have trouble with this one.
Me too-- I finally succeeded by packing all my meals (well, most of them, except for the towns where I knew I could get a restaurant meal ordered how I needed it). I bought a couple coolers and some food trays that fit just right inside them. One cooler holds 3 trays for overnight trips, the bigger one holds 5 or 6.
It takes a bit of planning and batch cooking on Sunday, but I can prep an entire week's meals. Luckily I don't mind eating similar meals through the week
If it keeps me on track, at least! 0 -

Height: 6'0"
Starting Weight (6/1): 342
Goal Weight (6/30): 328
6/1: 342
6/4: 338
6/11: 337
6/18: 332
6/25: 326 (goal +2 +another weigh in!)
6/30: 324
Loss/gain for the week: -2.0
Loss/gain for the month: -18.0
Successes:
This month I have begun the c25k program and have completed w3d1 so far. I've logged 122.5 miles so far, and by the end of tomorrow should be close to 130 miles for the month (in excess of 300,000 steps!). I've gotten excited about getting fit and run (sloooowly) outdoors a bit. I exceeded my goal of 14# for the month.
Failures:
I still struggle to drink enough water, maintain some type of strength training routine, and lazy weekend days beg me to do nothing and eat a lot. I'm getting better about forcing myself to move on Sundays, but I could do much better!
Figured I'd put this out there today in case I forgot tomorrow!0 -

Struggles or successes of your week:
Jogged the Insane Inflatable 5K last Saturday, we were thinking we'd walk with my wife's friend, but her husband came, so we jogged when we could. Pulled what I think was ITB on one of the early obstacles when the ground shifted, but I'm feeling better.
Took the dogs for a jog last night and started them off on C25K. We need to continue or longer runs for us, but we can do tempo runs with the dogs.
Pretty happy with the way the month turned out, wish weight loss was more smooth (less stalls and wooshes), but such is life.
I week start next month's post later today.0 -

Struggles or successes: Made my exercise goal all but 2days this month, and stayed on my meal plan since re-starting the AIP. Feeling much better in terms of joint pain and swelling, still having a lot of Myasthenic symptoms though, so I'm going to continue the full eleimination AIP through July, most likely. Loving the ease of weight loss with the keto diet!
