July Weight Loss Group

tattoodfreek

We are carrying over our wonderful weight loss group from our June thread. It's a new month, so it's time for a fresh start and brand new goal! It's summer time, so that means bikinis and tank tops! Let's all do our best to reach our goals this month! Let's celebrate the successes, both small and large. Checking in often is a great way to keep motivated and on target! If you haven't mentioned already what your goal is for the month, post it here on the list. I will do my best to keep up on updating the thread in JoJo's absence.

If you're new to the thread, please introduce yourself! Add yourself and your goal to the list, and then be sure to come back and check in again!

I would LOVE to join! My name is Sarah, and I'm from Indy. I'm new to MFP and wish I would have found it sooner. I've been journaling what I eat by hand for months!!! I came to MFP for added accountability and support, and I'm finding it! :happy:

Goals for July are to lose SOMETHING each week...a minimum of 1 pound per week. I really fluctuate as to how much I lose different weeks, but I want to see the scale going down every time I step on it! Thanks and good luck to everyone!!!

Welcome Newbies!!

Hey guys a new month is here I am so ready to be more focused than last month my goal is to lose 12lbs I know I'm stretching further than my last mnth goal. I also know I didn't push myself as hard as I could have that's why I am raising my goal to 12 and I am planning on meeting it this mnth for sure I lost 7 last month and I had some really tough weekends so since my goal is to be good on the weekends I should be able to increase my weight loss success at least that is what I am hoping!!

Welcome to all the newbies!! I am happy to see so many of us returning from the last challenge! Thanks to everyone who helped to keep the list updated! I think we have everyone so far

Man oh man.... My final weigh in for June was this morning. I started eating back all of my exercise cals this week in hopes of really boosting my metabolism. I was still 750- 1000 calories under maint most days. It was actually pretty much fun to see all of the calories still left at the end of the day and eat them, but most of the time I was eating them when I wasn't even slightly hungry. Then Wednesday we took our kids to a chocolate factory tour, and I totally sabotaged my day with chocolate, but it was oh so good.

Then yesterday was my b-day, and my hubby surprised me with a carrot cake (oh dear) and grilled burgers on the grill for lunch. THEN took me to Texas Roadhouse (a steakhouse) for my bday dinner. OMG did I eat.... by the time we left, I was so sick.

Laying on the couch 4 hours later, I was DYING of thirst. I felt like I had been through a sandstorm and eaten mouthfuls of sand. But I was still so full, that I could barely sip water without feeling like I was going to be sick. I couldn't even lay down horizontally, because doing so made my throat burn from the stomach acid! I laid there thinking about what I had done to myself. Had I enjoyed it? NO, not really. Actually not even a little bit. It didn't feel good to be stuffing that garbage into my mouth. I had wanted to order a dinner salad, but ordered an entree figuring I would catch h*ll from my hubby for ordering a salad for dinner on my b-day. The dinner didn't even taste good. I could feel the effect the food had on my body both times where I filled it with crap. I had no energy, and was sluggish and grumpy and sick to my stomach. I didn't want to exercise.

All of this is a positive change. I no longer CHOOSE to be destructive to myself. Eating good foods that fuel my body and give me energy feels so much better than what I used to get out of stuffing myself.

Anyway, long story short, all of this, coupled with TOM being due tomorrow, resulted in a +4 pound gain. LOL, oh dear me. I knew this morning it was going to be bad, but I chose to take responsibility for it. I do believe it to be mostly water weight.

So, this has me reassessing my goals for the month of July. I am changing my number from 6 pounds to 10. That 4 pounds of (hopefully) water is going to make it look like I hit my goal when I really haven't. I hope it will be gone and then some next week. I am going to work more on just listening to what my body needs rather than some arbitrary idea of "needing to eat all of my exercise calories" or some random number of calories.

Cnbethea- I am with you in having problems with losing my focus on the weekends lately. I am considering changing my weigh in day to Monday. I am hoping that this may help me avoid the weekend temptations, but I fear that the reality will be that I will just have bad weigh ins every week! LOL.

I haven't logged my gain yet. I am deciding if I want to drink water like crazy today, and reweigh tomorrow to see what happens.

I've been tracking for a bit on MFP and am down over 40 pounds since mid-February. I would be jumping for joy if I can lose another 10 pounds in July. I weigh in on Thursdays so I have a starting weight for this challenge as of end of June.

Do people chat on this topic group, or just join the monthly weigh in?

Good luck to everyone and happy July 4th.

Thanks,
Sunny
