Surprised by the lost, because struggled all week. I have to get my head back into this because starting to lose my motivation.
Week 4 – 5/23 - May Mini Challenge
Logged Food: yes
Under Calories: yes
Exercise: yes – 36 minutes of walking
@jlbtnc, hopefully a point six loss, when you weren't expecting it, is enough motivation to keep pushing forward and get your head back in the game!! You may have slowed down, but you have not stopped!!!
Thank you, I am pushing forward with my efforts, I did some binging this weekend. Primarily healthy items just over abundance of the healthy items. I tried getting my head back in it today and over calories better yet was over everything.
I am going to drop out of the mini challenge for now. I will continue to add my weight on Fridays and exercising yet, just stop the logging for a little bit.2 -
@cmhubbard92 WOW! There is an amazing difference! Great job!
June 1 is my 6 month date and I have also lost approx 30 lbs. I wish I would have taken some -any- before pics.3 -
Mini challenge
May 27
Tracked yes
Under yes
Exercise yes
Had to take a short walk for 2 reasons. 1- I needed more exercise minutes. 2- I was 19 calories over.3 -

Thank you @swauters ! I take a lot of pictures throughout the process! I don't take one every day, but I'm thinking it would be cool to do one of those progress video montages! Even if you haven't taken any pictures, I would recommend you take one now!!! It will be neat to look back on!
one goal for me this year is to have a substantial difference in my Thanksgiving picture! It was the picture that drove me to start this journey!2 -

@susanpiper57 you're welcome 😊 I believe Saturday is our last day for the May challenge, and they will close this thread for posting. I saw there is already a new thread for June TBBT on the main page, I just haven't posted in it yet. I currently have this one bookmarked(so I know when there are new posts) and will be bookmarking June's shortly. I tend to finish the mini challenge in the current month thread, and then roll over to the new month, so it is easier for @HASWLRS to keep track!2 -

I was feeling a little down this morning because of my arm(such a silly thing holding me back). Throughout the day, though, I was putting more thought into resting could just be what I need to get things going again. And then I realized:
Today is my 6month mark for my weight loss journey. I am down ALMOST 30 pounds, and the work is paying off. I feel better each day. I make better choices to keep myself full, but under my calories and accountable each day. I have made small changes that I know won't be just momentary, and I will get right back on my elliptical and my workout routine once my arm feels better. I know what I want to do and what I want to achieve. No matter what I end up doing, I've got this!
I don't have a 6mo total progress pic, as I only want to use pictures showing the same outfit(and I've misplaced my usual progress pic shirt to the laundry demons who have lost it somewhere), so this picture in the spoiler is my progress from January to now. Slow progress is still good progress!
@cmhubbard92, not, it's not silly to feel down when you have an injury!! It just shows how serious you are about your fitness and weight loss journey...otherwise you would be celebrating that you now have a valid excuse to not exercise!! Congratulations on sticking with this for six months, for losing almost thirty pounds and for learning a thing or two along the way and parlaying that knowledge into lifelong habits!! And progress pics that show actual progress, as yours do.....priceless!!1 -

@jlbtnc, a mental break may be just what the doctor ordered. Some people advocate a diet break, where you eat at maintenance for a couple of weeks before getting back into a deficit. That still requires logging your food, though.2 -

@Krysless2, don't beat yourself up....you did just come off of a long weekend. Up until then, maybe your head wasn't completely in the game, but you were still losing!! So this week you had a little stumble....it happens to everyone!! A new month is right around the corner... a perfect opportunity to start fresh, with a renewed determination!!1 -

@cmhubbard92, thank you for clarifying for everyone!
Yes, the last day of the May Challenge is Saturday, June 1st, and we will use this thread until then. On Sunday, June 2nd we will move over to the June thread, which is up and running. Everyone who is still with us right now will automatically be rolled over into the June Challenge. If you plan to continue on, make your way over to the June thread at your earliest convenience and introduce yourself to the new team mates. If you do not plan to continue, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!1 -

Thank you so much! I am still waiting to hear back about an orthopedic visit(playing phone tag with the office). I am hoping they can squeeze me in today or tomorrow. I am supposed to return to work tomorrow, and I don't know what I will be able to do(if anything). My arm is starting to feel better, but I am still having problems with limited range of motion and moving my arm in general is still bringing me pain... it feels defeating, but still trying so hard not to let it get me down.cmhubbard92 wrote: »@cmhubbard92 WOW!
