@johicks does the weight we posted last week matter for the July? Or will tomorrow's weight really be the starting Weight? Just making sure I post correctly as I am new to this!
When you joined the challenge you gave your starting weight......Username: kate_x4

Starting Weight: 255.6
For week #1 we now weigh-in to see what loss/gains are from the SW/PW to week #1 CW

One thing I did well:
One thing to improve:
SW: starting weight
PW: previous weight
CW: current weight
Hope that all makes sense.
And no worries, there are always questions at the beginning of the challenge. So I used you as my demonstration to help others if they are too shy to ask.
Thanks! Glad you asked and are part of the challenge!!

Here is our entire team for July. Let's make July the best month of the year. As much we may not want to admit it, half of the year is over. It's time to get serious, stay focused, and achieve some goals!

Week: Sunday, July Week 1 (6/30)
PW: 243.8
CW: 249.6 - 5.8# gain.
One thing I did well: Woke up today feeling “better,” even though I may not have ended June on a positive note; I still did good in 4 weeks for the June challenge. I lost 6.6#.
One thing to improve: When I fall hard, forgive myself and start fresh sooner. Feel my emotions… cry, shout, whatever!
No excuses. Just need to start fresh and work hard every day (& night!) to keep moving forward. Don’t worry team. I won’t let me or you down. Those 5.8# will be gone and some more in July! I’m going to focus on habits & determination!

One thing I did well: I moved my body everyday! I walked, roller skated, attempted jogging, and just moved my body.
One thing to improve: cooking at home, even though I stayed under my calories all but one day I need to eat good for my body food. DRINK MORE WATER!!!
Hoping that now that my feminine cycle is moving past I can get some lbs down. I did feel discouraged after my weigh in so I updated my measurements and since June 14 I've lose 3 inches in my belly! NSV!1 -

One thing I did well: I focused less on food and more on work.
One thing to improve: exercise!
Because work has been hectic since late May, I got out of the habit of taking the stairs and going for an afternoon walk while at work. I need to make time for me and my health.1 -

I showed a 6 lb loss in June which I’m super happy about! I’m hoping the weight loss continues! If I could do 6lbs/month I would be so happy; but honestly a loss is a loss, and that makes me happy, too.
Good luck and happy losing, everybody!!1 -

Weigh in day: Sunday, June 30- July Week #1
PW: 272.8 lb (that's the weight I put down when I joined; not sure if I have a previous weight, since this is my first week)
CW: 268.4 lb
One thing I did well: I joined this group!
Hi, my name is Cait. My weight loss journey started just over a year ago, in the middle of last June. From mid-June to mid-December, I lost about 55 pounds (which included starting a new job and moving half way across the country). Then I took a few weeks off for vacation and have struggled to regain that original momentum. I've lost another 15 pounds in the last six months, so it's not like I completely fell off the wagon, but I've really struggled to get in a rhythm again. The good news is I know what I need to do to be successful, and I know I can do it. Now I just have to, you know, do those things. I'm hoping the accountability of this group will help.1 -
Daily Post (Sunday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over
Exercise: 30 mins of cardio
Goal/Day: Well the morning didn't go as I planned. I was going to get up and do the extended bootcamp class but my daughter was still sleep and my bed was just to comfy to get out off. Spent part of my afternoon with my Goddaughter going over basic driving lessons, hopefully she'll get her license tomorrow. I did go over my daily calorie allowance but my exercise put me back under. Tomorrow back on my strict meals and workouts, I wanna have a great July!!!!1 -
Sometimes the switchover can be confusing from one month to the next.
Hopefully, this will help. All challenge weeks start on Sunday and end on Saturday.
Thank You for this! I do two separate Biggest Loser Challenges and the check in dates are different. I always end up confusing myself!0 -
Daily post Sunday June 30:
Tracked: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: no
Goal: haven’t really come up with one but open to suggestions
Day: typical Sunday for me. Groceries, laundry, popping into work to get a head start for Monday. Dealing with a newish puppy is a bit tiresome but she’s worth it.1 -

We had yet another weekend trip. Destination was close, and only an over night, but I covered alot of ground. Bad news is my phone is going to die a permanent death soon. I have a replacement ordered but it won't be in till Friday. So, @johicks , if I miss Thursday weigh in, you will know why.1 -

Creeping, but not backsliding. I have been exercising regularly. My calories have been not so good, so I know why I'm stilling creeping. Diet is 80%, so I'm just doing 20% with exercising alone. I'm not giving up though. See you all in July!
@Toyota100 ~ technically, June 30 is the first week of July's contest. So.. Welcome to July!! I'm going to post this in the July thread for you so we don't lose it when this thread closes. Thanks!! Good news - bad news ......I didn't see a weigh-in post for last Sunday, June 23 as in the spreadsheet your PW is recorded as 221.0 So this will start your July out with a bigger loss.

Hi Team! My name is Jessica and I've been doing this challenge since March. So far I've lost 20 pounds! June's challenge proved to be frustrating as my weight loss really slowed down. As I would still like to lose another 25 pounds, I'm trying to find ways to refocus, or at least minimize frustrations. Normally I weigh myself daily, but I planned to take last week off from doing that. Turns out old habits die hard and I only took yesterday off from weighing myself....So I didn't weigh myself this morning and I don't plan to until I feel in a better mental space to step on the scale, at the longest I will wait until my weigh-in day for this challenge on Friday. I also took yesterday off from tracking. I made mental notes and paid attention to labels and serving size, but just took a one-day break from entering it in MFP. Hopefully the break from the scale will give me the mental break and refresh I need to power through this month's challenge and see better progress. Today I'm back to normal tracking on here and the goal of staying within calorie range.3

Sorry for being a day late everyone! I’m still getting myself refocused and in a better place. But, I am awake and feeling strong and will do my best to keep that going through the day and into the night!! So now let’s see how you are all doing…..
@mawash9~ Mike. Good loss for week #1. Awesome! And you are posting right on time! Thanks. The weight you gave when you signed up is what is used to determine week #1 loss/gain when that weigh-in is posted. So right on!
@Kate_X4~ I understand the TOM junk. So here is to a better week for the both of us! Good job on moving everyday! Sometimes my movement is marching in place while doing dishes. And to get in more water, I try to fill all my different water bottles for the entire day; then I feel like I am drinking something different. And then I don’t have to count. A 2-mile hike. Awesome! Who cares how long it took, I bet it was great!
@skullsandskeletons~ Good job on another pound gone! And it is way too easy to push our health and wellness to the side. Glad you are recognizing this and are going to make some changes. WE can do it! Good Sunday, yeah you. Goal…. Something that you can do daily. You mentioned walking the stairs. Can you do that 3x/week? Or eat a salad with dinner or for lunch? Or increase water by 2/day?
@red1185~ Good June loss! Now let’s go=et ourselves regrouped, refocused, and ready for July! Let’s do this!!
@bhlavac5560~ Yeah! A loss!! Thanks for reminding about that exercise list. It’s a good thing to do daily for sure. I’ll do it with you. I will post tonight and hope to see yours too.
@bootssowhite~ Cait, Wow! That’s a great loss! Yes, I too hope that we will be able to not only help with accountability and encouragement. That’s awesome that you are still losing and not giving up. I bet your body is ready to get back into a fast rhythm again as you took a slow go for a bit. And now it probably has reset. Let’s do this!
@ajaia2001~ Again… congrats on your June loss. And even though it didn’t go as planned, you still got in exercise!
@lovethyneighbor~ You are welcome for the calendar. And our group is flexible. Do you want to change your weigh-in day to coordinate with the other one? It’s easy to do. Just let me know. We have you down as Friday weigh-ins. So whatever you need to make it an easy journey.
@wander216~ Good job on the hike! Doing great!
@Terry111330 ~ You can do it! Let’s work extra hard together. Let’s post tonight to update each other.
@JamieD328~ You sure do a lot with your little ones. Good job, Mom! And if you need to report your weigh-in on Friday, you can.
@JammyPea~ Awesome loss. Doing great you are! If you like cucumbers…. Try cutting thick slices and using salsa as a dip. I did that last week…. LOVED IT!
@Toyota100 ~ Yep… I hear ya! I fell off and am still getting back on. WE can do it!! But creeping IS losing!
@klilev~ I understand. It seems like for me it’s all or nothing. Ugh! We’ll find balance. You have a good vacation. Prepare some snacks and hydrate hydrate hydrate. You will lose that in no time!
@Rozbee1~ Yeah… a loss! Still work hard this week to keep the losing going.
@jwall309~ Jessica… thanks for sharing your journey. Being real and honest I think are a key to success. And believe it or not, your story helps others. Me!
Remember we are . . .
The three elements of what it takes to be successful at weight-loss and keeping it off are:
Run -keep moving
Track -know what you’re eating/ drinking
Mind -train your brain to be positive about yourself and okay with change(s).
