Week 5
Weigh In Day: Sunday May 31
Previous Weight: 135.1
Today’s Weight: 134.5
Day 10 of the cleanse, 2 more to go!
Feeling great - bloating is gone, sleeping is better, no body stiffness or aches!
And mentally I’m pretty pumped that I have made it this far with no cheating!
I’ll come back later to do my June intro, heading out for a walk! Hope everyone has a good Sunday!6 -

I agree. Violence and looting doesn't do anything but cause more problems. Being peaceful is possible.
The news this morning showed people of all races working peacefully together to clean up the city. Some who were interviewed said they were at the protest for a couple of hours and had left before things got out of hand. The organizers of the original peaceful planned protest didn't want anything like this to happen.
I know it didn't just happen here but has been happening everywhere. Senseless violence. So sad!🙁3 -
Happy June everyone!
I woke up yesterday not sure how I wanted to spend this weekend. Bad or good? I decided to split it Saturday bad Sunday good. Yesterday Molly and I had a big discussion about my weight. She is very helpful. I have been wanting to make banana bread. So I did. First time veganizing it. Delicious. That, sweet tea, tortilla chips and 2 vegan hot dogs packed on another 3 1/2 pounds overweight. Starting today at 157.6. On February 1st I was 140. But now I’m really ready and back in the game. Molly bought all my favorite juices for my 1 week cleanse which I started today. My goal is 142 by our vacation August 1st. Molly is so clever. She did a show and tell video of me “coming clean” about where I am and where I want to be. I gave Angelina a good pep talk and lots of guidance on how to handle life.
Now when I’m at a crossroads, she’s going to play it back to me. We were planning on doing it monthly but maybe I will do it weekly for June. It was kind of fun.
Intro and goals coming soon.5 -

Welcome new and returning members!! I always enjoy the beginning of the month reading everyone's intro's and goals for the month.
I'm Nancy, originally from sunny California, relocated to Montana 8 years ago, married for 19 years and have 2 dogs...a pair of Brittany Spaniels named Gauge & Willow who are my exercise partners. My weight slowly crept on largely due to a long commute and desk job. I joined MFP January 2017 and F2F October 2017. Highest weight recorded on MFP was 220.5 I lost 50 pounds but have stalled out for sooooo long. Not sure about goal weight but would like to be in the range of 160 - 165. I'm 5'8". Lowest weight was 164 back in February but March and April were not good months for me. May wasn't much better, didn't lose my goal of 5 pounds, but did finish the month slightly less than I began and got into a routine of Intermittent Fasting.
My husband works on long term construction projects that take him away from home for extended periods of time. He was just home for a couple of months last winter then left for a project in Pennsylvania at the end of January. Mid March I packed up preparing to drive out to spend 2 months with him in Pennsylvania when the virus hit. The project was shut down, everyone laid off and he’s been home with me ever since. Its actually (surprisingly) really great having him home. Since we moved to Montana, he's never been home this time of year as he's always working out of state so we're able to complete many honey do projects with the better weather. Because he works in the Oil & Gas industry its not likely he'll return to work as quickly as originally thought.
We live on 45 acres so there's no shortage of opportunities to stay active. I exercise, especially hike, pretty much everyday. My downfall is food. I enjoy cooking and love eating! I struggle with portion control and and am disconnected from my hunger scale. I'm also a fast eater and fail at eating mindfully. Did I mention I’m also a confirmed plate cleaner and hate throwing away food. Gosh that's a lot of food related issues!!! LOL
Goals for June. I second the others who mentioned consistency. I was very inconsistent in May
Weight: Get back into the 160's and stay there.
Food: IF 5 days/week. Eat more fruits/veggies crowding out the bad stuff. When my husband and I get busy with outside chores I tend to reach for quick, less than healthy, foods if I get overly tired at the end of the day so I want to get back into the habit of planning our meals and possibly prepping some items.
Let's make June a successful month!

WEEK 1 Challenge is UP! Send your folks on over for an easy and practical one -
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10798612/two-magic-numbers-challenge-week-1-june#latest0 -
Saturday check in
Food - on target
Water - 2l
Exercise - 5 km walk
Just checking in quickly as the introductions keep rolling in. I had a good day yesterday and was on target for everything. I did a ton of healthy baking as promised to the kids. I forgot to mention in my goals that I am working on my sleep, which has been all over the place during quarantine. I am targeting an earlier bedtime and earlier wake ups, 8 hrs each night. Big hugs to everyone and here’s to a healthy June!
Welcome to our new members @dansip, @melaniedscott, and @Ademann!!! Please post an introduction when you are able!
Welcome back @Barbb1557!! We missed you!!
FYI re the new Goal Zone on our spreadsheet.
This zone was created to help team members stay at goal once they reach it. You provide your goal weight as a start (I advise your current weight or the upper end of your goal zone if you have one), and you weigh in each week for accountability to stay in your goal zone. If you rise above your zone, you can rejoin the weight loss team to get back. There are a few of you who are close to goal, so this may be useful for you. Participation is optional, but we are hoping this helps you with maintenance. Right now we have @brown6267 at goal, so let us know if you want to try this out. This is completely new and we are trying to figure out what works, so your feedback is welcome!
May Team Step Challenge
If you have not already, please post your steps on this thread for the last week of May (May 24th to May 30th). I will post the Week 4 and Grand Finale winners tomorrow. To be considered for the Grand Finale, you must have provided your steps for all four weeks of the May Challenge (May 3rd to 30th).

@melaniedscott Hello and welcome! I love my walks too, but when it's raining, I like to put on a Leslie Sansone video on You Tube - I got introduced to her by people in this group - the videos are easy and you stay in a good fat burn zone pretty much the whole time. Here's a link to her channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/walkathomemedia/videos
@kirsten11872 and @twyla77 Great losses!
@lenka1 You're doing great! Keep up that momentum through June!!!
@Barbb1557 Welcome back!!!
@Mrsbell8well That sounds like an amazing strategy! I know you'll see lots of improvement this month!
Yesterday was great - ate clean throughout the day EXCEPT for having chips and cheese dip from one of our favorite restaurants now that it's open again. I was up a total of 2 pounds since last week's weigh-in, but It's cool because I feel completely in control and tomorrow starts a long two months of intense workouts.
Did my fitness test today. Won't post numbers yet, because I'll post before and after pics and data when I'm done.
Y'all, we're going to kill it in June!4 -

You can add me to the maintenance part of the spreadsheet.
My maintenance range is 132 - 137. My current weight is 134.2 with weigh in on Saturday.
Thanks!2 -
My name is Patsy, I am currently on the "cheer squad" while I am undergoing the last month (hopefully) of chemo for liver cancer.
I am 67 years old, married 50 years this coming August with two grown children and two teenage grandchildren. I started here on F2F in Nov 2017 around 175 pounds and got down close to 160 before my diagnosis in March. Even doing chemo every two weeks I have maintained that weight with no side effects from the treatments. One more to go then the CT scan to see if I am ready for surgery. I hope to be back here in July working on my weight loss again.
This is a great supportive group for your weight loss issues as well as other issues we all deal with on a daily basis so don't be afraid to rant about issues if you need to. Of course we want to hear the good stuff too. And bring on the pictures of places, animals, anything.5 -
Hi Everyone,
My name is Jill and I live in Los Angeles. On Tuesday I will be "celebrating" my 24th wedding anniversary with my super supportive husband. I put celebrating in quotes because we will not be able to go out. We have been quarantined the last 10 days and might have more days, see below. I have a 20 year old son who is home from college. And I manage my parents health and their entire lives as they both have dementia and still live in their home
@Cafelelia and @sleepymom5 I apologize for not posting weight or steps this past week. I'm bummed I couldn't walk this week because I was doing so well. Here is a summary of what I have been dealing with.
My 20 year old son came down with symptoms that presented like Covid 10 days ago. he went down fast, got him a Covid Test last Sunday and it came back negative. He continued to get worse. Doctor had us take him back to urgent care on Thursday for a 2nd Covid Test and blood work. Put him on antibiotics. Again negative Covid test but Liver enzymes super high, so they had him come back yesterday for more blood work and a mono test and a hepatitis test. Waiting for results. The kid is finally feeling a little better today. So scary. He has seen no friends for the last 10 weeks the only thing that he has done is gone surfing one day by himself. We have eaten take out food. Maybe he got this mystery virus from that? We haven't left the house because we did not know what we were dealing with and we did not want to give anyone what he has.
This made it difficult for me to manage my parents as I could not go there, I've had to bring in a nurse to help the caregivers and my mom is hallucinating and yelling in the backyard thinking there are small kids swimming in their pool. It's so sad
AND THEN this horrible situation in Los Angeles. There are groups of peaceful and powerful protesters who are law abiding. Then you have a group that sees this as an opportunity to loot and damage and hurt people. This group gives the rest of Los Angeles a bad name. @tryingagain5 I know how you feel. I live a mile away from Santa Monica. There was a great huge peaceful protest that was getting their message across and then while attention was on them a group in cars (appears organized) pull up to stores on the other end of Santa Monica, jumping out of cars with bats, hammers, grabbing cloths / shoes and jumping back in their cars. They have their license plates covered.These looters are NOT seeking justice for George Floyd! We need to speak up and get justice for him. But that message is getting lost in the horrific fires, and looting some people feel they have a free pass to do. Peaceful protesters are getting hurt!
Rumor is that there are people who are posting on social media to cause more violence and to take advantage of the police being busy and to steal. I really hope that is not true.
I am just so emotionally drained from everything. I hope to get back on track once we are not quarantined from whatever my son has and our city calms down. Sorry for the long introduction.

I still wanted to come here and add my weigh in that I accidentally posted in another reams thread! This is my home though, not there! Lol.
Also, I was basically my Aunts slave for the day...She fussed at me all day yesterday so today I just did everything she wanted me to so she wouldn't fuss...It was frustrating and I hated it, the only bright side is that I burned 1,003 calories today...I only consumed 810 though, but we ordered some dinner so that will be here soon. I am pretty hungry, but also pretty dang tired as well!
Goodnight everyone! 🥰5 -
@pacsnc6 My parents-in-law have been married for 50 years on August 15th, they celebrated their 30th anniversary the month after my husband and I became a couple
What an achievement! And I'm happy that your treatments are going well also. I'll post a funny pic of my cat a bit later, he's gone completely daft now that winter is here down under! 5 -
