My June Goal may seem low to many but i’ve been struggling with colitis symptoms. I’m closely tracking what foods and situations are triggering my water retention and bloating.
My most difficult challenge the past two months is stress from things I can’t control and re-learning how to let go’
I know stress alone can be the roadblock hindering my progress.7 -
I’m hoping to avg 1/4 pd loss per week.0

Hey @SamanthaLouiseMence - Is there any reason you posted this odd array of dates? The first are just a couple days apart from each other, then there's a 10-day jump. I think we usually do the 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29th days of the month, and usually I add the last day of the month. One neat thing about that is the weight reporting dates change each month. I think that's kind of neat. I weigh every day, but I like having different "official" dates on different challenges. It helps me keep steady whether it's a work day or weekend day. I usually also post the last day of the previous month, but I am not going to do that this month. My weight was up that day, and it would make it look like I'm losing more than I actually am. Context ya know.
On the other hand, just doing Mondays might be fun, too -- June 3, 10, 17, and 24. Maybe June 30 too to close the month. That would just continue the pattern from last month as the last weigh in May (other than last day of the month) was the 26th.
I'm just curious if there's significance to this pattern and if there was an intent.

Today's Thoughts: Over-indulged today (the 2nd). Expect to play a bit of catch-up this week. 🙊
June Game Plan:- Continue weekly meal planning
- Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500
- No calorie intake after 8pm
- Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000
- Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30
- Hit strength building exercise goal of 6 days, then increase to 7

Happy Sunday!
I'm still stuck but I'm still in this! I've been following @SamanthaLouiseMence 's challenges for 2.5 years now. Thanks for keeping us going - if I didn't have this challenge every month I might have given up by now. I'm stuck but I'm still not quitting.
In May I had more steps walked than any month since December 2016 when I started wearing a fitness tracker. If the weight won't go, there are other things I can do to keep my health improving. The scale number is just one facet.
Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.
Lowest since 1991: 194.4 November 25, 2018, post gallbladder surgery.
Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.
MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233.
Goal: 180 in however long it takes. And it's taking a LOT longer than I thought it would!
Weekly Averages:
May 27-June 2: 197.7
Loss for June:
MFP Loss: 35.3 lbs.
Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 45.3 lbs.
Move more, eat less.

There’s no set dates - people just change them to their weigh in days - I post it in that format every month just for an example x 5 -

I will be super happy to just be solidly under 155 by the end of the month. In December I had set a goal to be 150 by July 13th when we leave for Beach week. I’m so close but I’m definitely having to push harder to attain 5lbs per month. I might not make it but I’m going to stick to trying my hardest for the 5.
July is a planned maintenance month so I really, really want to kick serious June butt!!!8 -

Total loss for June: By scale weight AND by ten-day average, I have GAINED AGAIN this week (1.5 pounds by scale and exactly one by ten-day average). Uh oh. Add this to the three pounds I gained in May, and I'm heading to the ceiling of my maintenance range. Before mid-may, I had been maintaining within about a half pound of my goal since mid March.

I think it’s amazing that you are in maintenance and holding it there even if it’s not always easy. How do you compare staying at maintenance with the weight loss phase?1 -

Don't be that amazed -- I have been struggling to maintain for at least two weeks going on three.
Maintaining is way easier, just as hard, and way harder than losing. It's way easier because when you get to your goal, you obviously figured out how to balance energy in and energy out. If you were losing at a reasonable 0.5 pounds per week for your last five pounds, you get to add 250 calories when you get to your goal. It's easy to add 250 calories. In fact, it's too easy, so that's why it's just as hard. It's way harder because you still must be vigilant, and it's a life-long commitment. You also don't get the reward of watching the scale move down. You have to change your response to the scale and get excited when it doesn't move at all. I got down below my goal, and I was actually worried for a while I'd keep losing. Ha. That's funny now. I'm back at the top of my maintenance range, and it would be SO easy to blast through the ceiling. I know I could lose again, but that's not healthy.
I'm slowly also working on my body composition. I'd like to have less fat mass and more lean mass. So that's a new goal that's even slower. For sure I lost some lean mass when I was in weight loss mode. I tried to minimize/mitigate it with strength work, but I am not consistent. So when I gain again, it is fat that I gain. This is another reason it's difficult, and it's a real reason it's so important to maintain.
YOU will get here! You WILL maintain when you get here. And then after a few months, let us know how it goes. I'll check back in again as the months go by, and I hope I get to a place where it's easier again. I had given myself permission to go off the path for a while, so it's no surprise my weight is up. It happens. I need to start enjoying the "emptier" feeling again. Honestly, all I need to do is be more mindful in the evenings because I sometimes sabotage my efforts when I grab healthy snacks but eat unhealthy amounts of 'em. Nothing wrong with Akmak crackers, but take it easy man. (that was a note to myself, not you).2 -
