    Ashley, I love your Mindset! I’m going to let that be my mantra. Would it be so wrong to add that I’m weird too? Is that what you mean when you say life is weird?
    “Things are weird, people are weird, <I’m weird>, life is weird.” The best I can do is to roll with the punches and take control where I can.
    The hard part for me is figuring out where I need and can take control. And knowing when I should “roll with the punches”.

    It would definitely not be wrong to add in that you're weird too! Everyone has their weirdness, we just express it in different ways. Besides, if it's your new mantra, you can make whatever choices you want to make to customize it to work for you.

    As for rolling with the punches, it takes a lot of time and self-awareness to determine where you're willing to take control and where it isn't worth spending the energy. I consider most of my life to be a trial-and-error science experiment, which helps me remain patient with myself. Otherwise, I'm sure I would be frustrated with this process.

    Not a great month, pretty much just maintained my weight. I hadn’t been logging very accurately or been very active on this group either so not my best month, June I plan to be more active and post more as well as when I was I found myself much more motovated.

    1.5 stones to go until I get to my ideal weight! If I lose 1/2 stone in June, I’ll be at 145lbs. Losing another 1/2 stone in July will put me at 138, and another by the end of August, I will be at 131 pounds. I’m not going to beat myself up if it doesn’t happen, but it will feel awesome if it does. I’m already scared about the maintenance phase because of what has happened to me every other time that I’ve lost weight in my life. I’ve gained it back and more each time.

    Agree on weird. Everyone is in their own way. People who aren't are boring, which is weird. Whoops...even them...
    Choosing your battles is important though, lately, I'm not so much rolling with the punches and curling up in a ball and waiting for them to stop. It has been a rough couple of months.

    Also...loved the zombie meme...

    Maybe don't look at it as an end to weightloss but a time to maintain and test the lifestyle changes that will make you healthier?

    Yay!

    I know y'all haven't heard much from me lately. I've been having a month. Maybe more on that later, maybe not. End of the school year is always stressful and crazy. I don't know what the scale will say tomorrow (I know what it should say but not what it WILL say). We'll just say I'm here but not saying much. Second time in a week I'm posting in the middle of the night because I'm inexplicably awake...

    Hello. I’ve just joined and been assigned to this group for the June challenge. I’m looking forward to getting started and hopefully making new friends. A bit about myself...

    I’m a married mum of one, in my early forties and live in Yorkshire. I hit my highest weight (11 stone) last spring and took the plunge on a diet and fitness overhaul in June. I really embraced the new lifestyle and by October I had lost 2 stone and was fitter and stronger than I had ever been. I maintained my weight loss until earlier this year when a member of my family was killed in a freak accident. I then spiralled out of control from a diet and exercise point of view. In the early days my every waking moment was spent on the practical duties which I had to take charge of and supporting my family through the loss. My way of coping with awful situations (as has been the case throughout my life) is to be there for others and hold everything together, that’s the only way I know.

    I don’t mean for any of this to sound ‘woe is me’, I just want to give you a bit of background. I feel my head and heart are finally emerging from the darkness of the past few months and I need to take back control if my life and happiness. The confidence, motivation and feelings of self worth that I had at the back end of last year seem a distant memory now but I know I can get back to it. I don’t have a lot of close friends (none if I’m being brutally honest) as I’m a bit of an introvert and have always been very shy in social situations so I am hoping I can find some supportive friends on here. I promise to be supportive and encouraging in return and will always make myself available if anyone needs a chat or some encouragement.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my message.

    Hey Team Weight No More! As we are about to enter the 6th month of 2021 it’s time to stop and review how we are doing with our weight loss goals. Look over the June Reset graphic below and spend time evaluating what’s working and what needs improving.

    We also have the JUNE HABIT TRACKER up and ready for you. So, choose the habits that you want to track, and let’s make June our best month of 2021!! B)

    Hi. I’m new to the group so apologies for having to ask but how do I access the June Habit Tracker? When I click on the link it says I don’t have permission to access it. Thank you.

    Hi @Cocopops8

    Looks like there's currently a permissions issue with the habit tracker. I left a note for Teresa and she should be able to fix it.

    Welcome aboard! If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask. We have plenty of people around to provide whatever type of support you may need.

    It's all fixed now! Sorry about that - all the links should now allow everyone to edit to their heart's content.

    My steps are below average for me but I’ve been very busy at work and my active minutes went from typically 40 to averaging about 200 a day. I’m not sure how accurate that is since my Fitbit is clipped to my bra. But I have been a lot busier and having to do more physical labor instead of just walking from place to place. An fit seems to be working so I hope to continue that.
