@cyndiesstuff love the soup and the art! Are those herbs from your garden?
@DananaNanas lovely picture!
@sleepymom5 I loved your story too!
@CassieGetsFit2013 so happy your with us here for June. Hope your feeling better.
@twyla77 I forgot about your tooth ordeal. You hang in there. I found that eating yogurt helped when taking antibiotics. My dentist told me to do that and it has helped ever since.
@kirsten11872 look at you go. Your not messing around! Lovely photos and your sooooo skinny 😁

@GingerPwr I am so glad you're here too. You've come a long way since I first met you. This is the month you're going to make your monthly goals. What are they? What is your commitment? We have to remember everything we've learned so far and build on it.
@Mrsbell8well yes. I used last seasons dried parsley oregano and basil in the soup broth. And the chives were fresh this year from the garden. Mmmmmmm diet food!!1 -
Hello everyone. Welcome new team members. I'm Tracy from New Hampshire. 47 with 2 boys 22 and 24, with a granddaughter on the way. Married 24 years. Yikes!! I love Zumba and walking. I have been struggling with losing weight, it goes away and comes right back.
My plan for June is go through my Zumba class, get up early to get Leslie Sansone video done and I'm going to add in 2 of the 21 df videos just the upper and lower fix. On Wednesdays my son has an appointment and it's by a walking trail so weather permitting I will be walking while I'm waiting for him instead of driving back home and then back to get him. He starts his new job tomorrow and everyone needs to be out of the house at the same time so this will be interesting.
Went out to lunch yesterday with my extended family and only ate half, no drinks. I did have a drink at my in laws last night though. All yard work is done today and pool is open, almost ready to swim. I'm exhausted. Done for the day.3 -
@cyndiesstuff your soup looks amazing and your garden looks so pretty!😊
@Mrsbell8well thanks! I’m trying, giving it all I got! You’re kicking butt as well!😊👍🏻1 -
Well the brunch went well and I ate like a “normal person “ not a pig!!
And to answer a few questions - it wasn’t me who was interested in Jenny Craig!3 -
Wow, this team had a busy weekend - hikes, trips, gardening/yard work, a 10k – way to go everyone! I was gone most of the weekend for a wedding and a birthday party. Although I didn’t log food, I felt good about how much and what I ate at both! I didn’t wear my Fitbit for much of the day yesterday because of the wedding, so my Fitbit steps seem low, but pretty sure I would've had enough steps. It was a great weekend with family and I feel recharged and ready to put in the effort for June!
My introduction... My name is Shirin. I'm 39 and live in Minnesota. I’m married and a stay at home mom to our 2 kids (7 and 3 years old). My starting weight in August 2018 was 192 pounds. I’m down 30 pounds since then, but I’ve been losing weight very slowly the past few months. My goal weight is 130 (5’3”). This team has helped me be accountable and I always appreciate the ideas and support from other members!
My June goals:
- Log food every day this month
- Drink 64 oz of water per day
- 10,000 minimum steps each day
- Exercise at least 3 days a week (cardio/yoga)
- Lose 4-5 pounds – I need to reevaluate what I’m doing to achieve this!

Didn't do that great today but not terrible either. I decided to rest my hip so the steps were low and no exercise. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I will check in tomorrow.
@Zumba_Luvah Maintaining is better than gaining. Maybe you should take measurements. You may have gained muscle and lost fat. Are your clothes fitting differently? Don't give up, there are so many factors that go into your weight.
@DananaNanas I am so happy you are still here! I thought that you left us! What a great pic, you are so pretty! Hope the recital went well!
@carlsoda . I love that 1% better. I am going to do that tomorrow!
@Mrsbell8well I have been doing stretching that were given to me from my doctor. I do like the idea of the yoga for hips. I already have it bookmarked to do tomorrow. It looks like some of the stretches the doctor gave me were in the video.
@twyla77 Nice loss! I am sorry you had such a rough time with that tooth. I hope that will be better soon!
@CassieGetsFit2013 Nice loss! Glad that you are back with us! Hope all is well.
@nstephenson01 I love your goals for June. I need to get it moving in June too!
@cyndiesstuff I love your garden! Your house too! I hope things are getting better for you. Sounds like you are starting to have some good days. Hugs my friend!
@kirsten11872 That looks like a beautiful place to take a hike! 7 Miles?! Awesome job! I am glad you enjoyed!
@GingerPwr We are lucky to have you as part of this group too! xo
@ljdanny What a productive weekend you had! Love your June plan! Good luck with the bathroom situation in the morning! Since you are the only lady, you should get the most time I think...and maybe be the first one in too
@lennoncpa Great job at brunch! Doesn't it feel good to go out and not regret it later!
@Shirin_K Sounds like a fun and successful weekend! Awesome goals for June5 -

Hello June, hello team. I had a great weekend and I am in good spirits. Felt a bit like a woman possessed last week. i did my tough mudder 5k with my friends. I struggled a bit but I did more than I thought I could. I am now determined to crack those monkey bars once and for all. It was good fun but boy did I work hard. There was one point where my legs were trembling. It is really interesting that I managed to lose this week given the amount of crap I have eaten. On reflection rather than thinking phew got away with that I am thinking this: I ate loads of rubbish at work. It add to me feeling rubbish. When I came home I didn't eat the dinner my husband lovingly prepared for me because i was full. i felt bloated and had a sugar hang over the next day. I also sturggled with my workouts and my race because I didn't fuel properly. It is 26 days to my triathlon. I have the chance to go into it 6lbs lighter. I am going to respect my body and the wonderful things it can do if I let it.
Stop- eating sugar for this month. I have been at it 3 days. I am already feeling better. I am starting to think it is just not worth it.
Start - eating in a regular controlled way rather than grazing and snacking.
Keep - eating when I am hungry sticking to the hunger scale
Thanks to our wonderful team captains and motivators for all your support and encouragement.6 -

Food weekend was a success
Water 48
Exercise 20 minutes stretching and yoga, 20 minutes cardio
Steps 11947
i ate mindfully all weekend. stayed on track. i started my exercise yesterday. it felt good. i really need that stretching. my muscles from the chronic pain seem to have atrophied. so far i have stopped the binge eating cycle. one day at a time i will do this. i created my weekly food plan and did the shopping and the prep. i am set for a successful week. i spent time yesterday in continued learning and i journaled. if every day was like yesterday, i will be able to beat @eyesopennow in the pounds lost category. What are you doing today Team? Every day counts.
@ljdanny losing and gaining is a struggle for lots of us. we have to continually work on changing our mindset to it is just NOT optional. this is who we are. it is the new us. and the sooner we are able to break those old bad habits and replace them with good healthy ones, the closer we will be to this new life be automatic. keep working at it. the key is to never give up. this is it. it is the last time we are going to do this. i hope your morning went ok. i am sure it was a little chaotic.
@kirsten11872 the soup was sooooo good. and it was really healthy and filling.
@lennoncpa yayayayayay! you made it thru the brunch. that is really amazing. you should journal about how eating like a normal person made you feel when you were successful. it will help cement in the idea of accomplishment.
@Shirin_K and you are right. our team was very active over the weekend. activity burns calories!! and you ate like a normal person too at the wedding and the birthday party. look at the new shirin go!!
@sleepymom5 are you making your 24 hour plan? make a commitment to yourself to make your plan and stick to it. mark things off the list as you do them. show yourself that you mean business. this is the month girl.
@amsandos ohhh yea. going into june with a loss. that is awesome. and i love your start stop keep. this is going to be our month. No more sugar for you! its not for you.4 -

Happy June! I am Lisa, 52 years old from Toronto, Canada. My husband and I have been together for 20 years and we have two active boys ages 12 & 8. I started MFP last year at 168 lbs (I am 5’3’’), lost 25 lbs but put half back in when I got injured last fall. I am a 154 lbs now and want to get to 135. I started to gain weight in my thirties with a busy career & then pregnancies & then busy everything. I have been a huge fluctuator since then and it is my goal to stop. My plan for June is to stay in my healthy zone, eating healthy & logging, increasing my running gradually, managing stress through self care (which has been my challenge), and focusing on the things that bring me joy (yes, I am a Marie Kondo devotee!). Hope that everyone has a great month! Love all the photos posted already!3 -
Here’s my plan! I will reassess my goal weight when I get down, but this should be good. I want to take it slow and steady then when I switch to maintenance it will feel like a normal lifestyle I can maintain!

I just had an epiphany! Seriously, 2 minutes ago. Last spring is when we started the process of moving my Mom out of her house of over 30 years and into an independent living apartment (we have since moved her into an assisted living apartment). My brother had to take over her finances. I took over her medical things-meds, doctor appointment, bills, getting a caregiver and dealing with her. We also had to find a realtor and put the house on the market, clean out her house (she saved everything), return her car as she wanted to drive it still...There also was drama with my older brother that I wasn't expecting after always getting along. Not just with me but with my younger brother too but he didn't speak to him like he did to me. (Our relationship is ok now but hasn't returned to where it once was). I put on 15 lbs in a short amount of time. It just was a lot to handle in a short period of time and I did feel helpless . I couldn't find a good routine for my Mom as she was declining mentally pretty quickly. The caregiver was awesome at first and she took care of a lot of things I couldn't figure out. Eventually, she became overwhelmed with another patient and couldn't help my Mom as much. It seemed like there was an issue every day. I was really struggling and just watched my weight go up and up. I think it was either June or in July that I joined this group. I feel like the past two days I was starting to go in the direction I was going last summer again. I think just the emotional toll of seeing my friend and feeling absolutely helpless with her and then being so sad about how things have changed in Florida WAS starting to tug at me. I don't know why that realization is changing my attitude but I am going with it! Lol! I am not going to go back to last summer. I am here to spend time with my Mom for her BD. I did have to run down early because of a fall but she ended up being ok after a few days. Also, HELLO, my Mom is in Florida by the beach! She could be in the middle of nowhere. Not a bad place to have to visit! It was good to see my friend and we all had a good time even though it is a bad situation. I can not control how things are going to go but I can control how I react to them. I am heading out now for a walk on the beach before it gets too hot. I am aiming for 1/2 hr but I am going to see how my hip is. It seems to have gotten worse on this trip. I plan to do some hip yoga that @Mrsbell8well suggested tonight. I already have it book marked and ready to go. Hope everyone has an awesome day, I am pretty sure I will!
@amsandos Nice loss this week! Congrats on completing your tough mudder too! Love your keep stop start. I need to sit down and think about my goals for this month.
@cyndiesstuff I am so glad that you are turning things around. You are starting off the week with an awesome plan! You can do this! I haven't been making my plan since I don't know what to really expect but you know what, before I left for Georgia I made a plan and was getting a salad and not eating at my Moms food. I don't know why all of the sudden I thought I couldn't plan...Ugh! Back at it today!
@pacsnc6 That is an awesome daily plan!
@Moarrein Sunday wasn't bad at all! LOVE your plan for the day! Let's do this!!
@Cafelelia I love your goals for June! I also love that you are able to finally incorporate running into your plan after all that time. I know how much you missed it!
@carlsoda Awesome goals! You got this!4 -

Well I guess that was a great eating week as far as foods I shouldn't have indulged in but I did.
I was on vacation with the family and it was great. It will be better next week.

Well I did it, I got up at 415 and then my DVD player wouldn't work for my Leslie Sansone video because my husband has a million things hooked up but I did my 21df video that I have on Plex. So I still exercised just not the video I wanted today. I forgot I have to pick my son up from his job starting today so if I get out on time and go straight to his work there is 45 minutes of me waiting so I brought my sneakers to walk. So I figure when I'm early that will work good. I don't always get out on time though. But fingers crossed. On my family lunch date Saturday I had to pick up my aunt who lives near me and I came across a walking trail so I'm hoping to try that out this weekend.6

From last August:eyesopennow wrote: »
I have made a commitment (worse than that, I have made a spreadsheet) to give myself a treat for my next birthday -- my 60th. I am going to have walked at least three million steps between now and then. That's an average of about 8200 steps a day which sounds light, but it includes all the 100 degree days and 10 degree days here, and rainy or snowy or hurricane days, and my busy season at work. It includes yoga days when I average about 6000 steps. If I succeed, I will have walked about the distance from Washington DC to Dallas, TX. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Feel free to suggest places to visit along the way!
Here's my progress report, as of June 2:
Steps since 8/14: 2,612,014 (versus to-date target of 2,400,000)
Miles since 8/14: 1161 (versus target of 1067)
At my current pace, I will complete the challenge on July 15, which is 29 days early.
At my current pace, I will exceed the target steps by 264,999 on the end date of August 14.10
