I'm joining in a bit late this month. June was rough but I'm hoping for a better July. Setting a modest goal of reaching 234 for a total loss of 20lbs from my highest recorded weight. Anything beyond that will be a bonus this month.7 -

Today was weigh-in and I lost 2 lbs!! Yea Me! I'm really behind in posting in this thread but will have to catch up tomorrow ... I plan to leave the house in a bit for the rest of the day ... mainly, so my darling granddaughter can continue to live another day!! Argggggggggggggggggg!!
It's not fair that the people we love the most irritate us the most, get under our skin the most, push our hot buttons ... YADA YADA YADA. As I said, so she continues to enjoy living, I'm heading out for a road trip. Catch y'all tomorrow!
Have a great 4th!!13 -

See if they'll let you talk to a nutritionist (either while you're in the hospital or out). I'm not an expert, but insurance should totally cover it. They will just tell you stuff you already know for the most part, but first off, it's good to have the voice of authority backing you up, and second, you never know what ideas they might have.
I'm trying to lose for September too! Got a lot of standing on my feet to do then at work.

Hi all!
I have posted on here a few months ago I think but found it a bit overwhelming with so many posts. Am going to try again now, as starting to get better at logging each day, and thinking seeing others success will be great motivation. I am from the UK so stating my weight in pounds means very little to me but I'll follow the trend :-)
Age: 30
SW: 244lb
CW: 194lb 😃
GW: 151lb 🤞🤞
Feeling super motivated at the moment as weight loss is going well.
Firstly allow me a moan 😂. Taken me over a year to lose 50lb. However, without sounding miserable, I don't feel like I look any different yet, I am wearing the same clothes. Yes they are looser and maybe I could get a smaller size, but shops are closed so who knows. Also my husband has now decided to join me, which is great of course, however he is only two months in and already lost over 30lb, how can that he fair?! I would never be so unsupportive to him to say this to him.
My goals are to stick to two meals a day, no snacking, aim for the 1200 calories allowed (is hard) and to go for two bike rides a week.
Some really amazing weight losses in this group and great suggestions for monthly goals too.
I wish everyone the best of great July!! Thank you for allowing me to moan!

Good luck April! You don't need to post in pounds, I post in kg and I still think in stones, I'm from UK originally, living in Australia. It's very annoying how fast men can drop weight!!! Stick with us, we are losing at all different speeds!
There's a quote button at the bottom but I think it only quotes the whole post, not part.7 -
I'll start doing morning weigh-ins and weekly check-ins again Monday the 13th, when I'm moved and have had a little time to breathe.
Packed the kitchen up tonight, and after a rest I will pack the dry goods. I'll pack the refrigerated goods and frozen foods the morning of the move, on Monday. I haven't got all the painting done due to the workmen being in the way, but they promise I'll be able to get to it tomorrow. And it's one room, two colors, and it will be okay.
I can't take the refrigerated stuff over yet because tomorrow the new house's power is being turned off because the entirety of the line from the pole to the outside box to the inside box are being upgraded. It should be back on tomorrow evening, but it just makes more sense to take it over first thing Monday morning.
This has been incredibly stressful, but I am almost done. And I am so tired that I bet I'll sleep through the fireworks, and that's saying something.7 -

@nickibeard3 - honestly losing weight does not need to be complicated and it does not need to be hard. It's simple: eat fewer calories than you burn. I promise you, that is all you need to do and you just need to do it say, 85% of the time. How much fat, carbs or protein you eat is a matter of preference. But most people feel less hungry when they are getting adequate protein, so try that and see how it goes. I also suggest you don't worry about whether the food you are eating is "clean". The only food in my book that isn't clean is one that dropped on the floor. Yes, you will feel better (less hungry, more energy) if more of the food you eat is not processed, but I believe there is no bad food, only bad logging.
Here's a great post to get you started on your journey:

Moving is hell, but I love the fresh start in a new place. You're almost there!

Hi. I've been trying to lose weight for years and have a hard time sticking to any plan. But I'm turning 40 in September so... I need to do this!!
Sw/cw 281.6lbs
Goal for July: 275
Goals: drink more water daily, stationary bike 4x a week, healthier foods and maybe try intermittent fasting7 -
29F - 5'4"
SW: 224
CW: 208
July GW: 199
UGW: 120
I know losing 9lbs in a month will be tough but I desperately want to be under 200 and I'll do pretty much anything to get it.
My goal is to log 100% of the food I eat for the rest of July (at which point I hope it will become a habit). Please don't let me slack!7 -
@orangequilt thank you!! I think when I tried to trim the quote it lost it 🤷♀️
@speyerj great work on the half marathon! Completely agree with the no bad food. Also to add, no beating yourself up if you've had a bad meal, can continue after it is finished, all your hard work isn't wasted.
@wyndstar2000 I have been intermittently fasting, 18:6 whilst trying to keep my calories down in my 6 hours. Completely clean fasts so only water or black tea in my 18 hours of fasting, really keeps me focused to eat well in my 6 hours of eating. Highly recommend. I know they say you can eat what you like when not fasting but I don't think that would work for me. I use the app zero to track my times.
@SquidVonBob I am by no means great at tracking, but have found adding my own meals really helpful for the daily logging as tend to eat the same meals fairly frequently.

I'm gonna have to go over calories today, I'm starving.
I think it's a side effect of the several dozen painkillers I had to take after wrenching my neck.10 -

UGW: 165, but I'll evaluate if that feels right when I get there.
HT: 5'9"
I took a weekend off of eating to my calories limit and instead ate at maintenance or below just to take a little mini break and recharge myself. Yesterday I let myself have a carb heavy day eith chocolate and pancakes and I dont regret it one bit. Today, I'm back on track of eating only to my self set limit of 1,590 and focusing on good carbs, proteins and fats.
I've definitely been feeling the Covid blues around here, which is a current hot spot in the states. Sometimes, it feels like none of my other friends and family are taking it seriously. So I'm taking a break from social media as well and focusing on positive goals and healthy families.
School was supposed to start this month for my 8 and 5 year old kids, but they've delayed the start date to mid August. And honestly, I'm uncomfortable with sending them in, as my husband has chronic pancreatitis (he spent 60 days in thr hospital and 4 months of disability with this in 2019) and could possibly be high risk with covid symptoms. So, we are planning on home schooling for thr time being.
I run my own business and because of this damned virus, I'm putting much of my business on hold to care for my family instead. So here is to a healthy July where we all meet out goals or do a great job trying and not be hard on ourselves.12 -
Hi all,
I would like to jump back on the wagon and join in this too. Been around MFP for nearly a decade, back in 2012/2013 I somehow got down to my lowest adult weight of 171/172lbs. I have since gained it all back and a lot more due to varying reasons.. it is frustrating to think I would of been close to goal but now time to move forward and back down!

Good morning everyone!
I've read all your posts, but I'm only tagging the last page...
@Tarzan37 it's been so rough for you recently, but the important thing is, you're still here. You're a warrior.
@nadiasabrin92 welcome! Tell me more about this dance challenge!
@cesse47 congratulations on the loss! I hope the time away will help with annoyance, my husband and I have dreamed of giving each other a break by one of us taking the kids away for a day, leaving the other with the house to themselves, and then reverse it. One day...
@planktonbye that's great advice. And you can do it!
@darksunapril it's so annoying how men lose faster than us, isn't it? You can do it. And if 1200 is too low, no shame in that. I've never been able to stay at 1200 for very long, myself.
@AlexandraFindsHerself1971 you're almost there! It's going to be so nice to be in the new place!
@speyerj that's an amazing time, and you should be really proud.
@wyndstar2000 you've got this!
@SquidVonBob sending friend request now, for keeping you on track. I started about where you are. You can do it.
@Terytha One day isn't going to erase your progress. You've got this. I hope your neck feels better.
@k1975lr I feel you on the covid blues. My four year old is acting out because the poor thing hasn't seen friends in person in months. I hope that people stop being idiots with a quickness, and that somehow, we get to the point where we're testing and tracing enough to turn this around before a vaccine.
@mszoueb Welcome! You've got this, we're all here for you.
Whoo. That's everyone.
As for me, I'm currently a little up on the scale, but it's TOM, so it's expected. Got in about 4k steps on my very early morning walk, prelogged my food for today, and we're looking good so far.
Countdown to the end of this year: 25 weeks
Loss at 1 lb/week: 160
Countdown to Wedding Season: 41 weeks
Have a great day and, if I don't see y'all again until Friday weigh in day, a great week!
