@RavenStCloud Thank you for the group.

What are your goals for June? - Remaining active, eating healthy and staying hydrated
How about for the summer as a whole? - Staying hydrated and getting more sunshine
Is there anything you're looking forward to that you missed out on last summer? - Not that I can think of at this time
Any concerns or things that might be a problem this month? - Trying to remain polite to a couple of classmates that seem to be more concerned with what I am doing and eating (being nosy and basically stalking all I am doing) instead of studying for our big exams coming up. 🙄🙄

@CariTJR LOL!! I remembered to update mine too!!!!😀 Good job starting the packing early. I think regardless of a weight drop, you will see changes in your body with all the moving and hauling boxes etc. (weight workouts)!!! Look to lose some inches!!

@VickyEltonGreen Awesome NSVs!!

@JNettie73J Awesome loss and progress so far. You've got this!! Oh!! I saw and accepted your friend request!!

@goal06082021 Nice!! Happy 30th in advance!!!

@sandramarshall200 Sorry you don't feel well. Feel better soon!!

@M0th3rGoose LOL!! I lost my first post as well. Had to switch and type it up in my notepad and then copy and paste!!🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

@jazzadesigns I think meeting 9000 steps is already a workout goal. What types of workouts are you considering or do you think you like?

@holdthefries You are right. You are still here and that is all that matters. The weight can be lost again. 😉

Welcome to all the newbies and great to see you again to the regulars!! Success everyone!!We've got this!!

My pictures didn't reflect as much progress as I had hoped but there have been many other positive changes that I am okay with it. My A1C is in a decent place, my doctor thinks I can eventually come off my medication for diabetes, I am sleeping better, I have more engery, most days (not all) I am averaging 10K steps or higher, my chronic cough has completely gone away, I am not tired all the time, it is easier for me to sit and get up off the ground when playing with my daughter, I don't have the same aches and pains as I did before - now my aches are exercise induced LOL, I am so much happier than I was before, I wake up happy and ready to seize the day, I don't get tired and winded from playing with my daughter outside, I listen to my body, I have finally made time for myself and taking back my life and so much more!


These are such great results! Love to hear it.

Hi! I lurk in the background being completely inspired by each and every one of you, so this is my first goal post.
I am 60 yrs old:

SW: 315
CW: 275.5
GW for June: 270

I haven't been consistent on taking measurements but have recently started wearing summer clothes I couldn't last summer so I know I've lost inches, just not sure how many.

My goals for June:
1) Water, water, water
2) Reduce added sugar
3) Protein and a veggie/fruit at every meal
4) no evening snacking
5) add yoga to my weekly activities for flexibility and toning

I am about 2/3 through the process to qualify through my insurance for gastric surgery, has anyone here had it? I'm curious about personal anecdotal experiences. I have some great support in an online group I have joined through Facebook but can use all the information I can get.
have a great day ladies, here's to a great June!

Hi ladies

I am stepping out if my comfort zone posting here, but I feel like this could be the group for me. I have been on MFP on and off for a long time, and at 40 I'm learning community and vulnerability are good and necessary! If I haven't let me know if I haven't misunderstood, and it is ok for me to jump on here as a group newbie. I would really like to share support. 💖Best wishes!

goal06082021

@MaryRose1180 Welcome! Just like it says in the OP, you can jump in any time and if you think you belong here, you do! I love this group, it's a good combo of regular updates and just good conversations throughout the month. You don't have to post your full stats block if you aren't ready to share, it's enough that you're here, but we'd all love to cheer you on!

I love seeing all the new faces every month, I hope to continue seeing you all going forward.

@sandielewis2001, I'm right there with you. I was managing my weight ok when I was working in an office as I was up and down stairs and walking every day at lunchtime etc, now I'm working from home I can go days with barely hitting 3k steps, especially through the winter months. I really need to try and move around more during the day.

@uyister, I'm rubbish, I once spent a year thinking I was a year older than I am, it took a friend of mine who was born the same year as me to point out that I wasn't the age I'd been thinking I was.. I don't even know how I managed it, I can count, I work in finance for flips sake! What a total numpty. 😂

Goal for June 30th - 169
Ultimate goal -135

I am not much on exercise, but I love yard work and gardening. Bending and lifting and up and down from cleaning out flower beds. I work like a farm hand some days. I told my husband that I was his ole mule!! LOL. Adding that work to exercise entry really adds up. I am disappointed that laying concrete and hanging gutters is NOT listed.
Glad I have found this blog. Its so motivating.

I'm a newbie and hope that is ok. I've used MFP for years on and off. Lost a bunch of weight and then gained it all back. Looking for a support group as I don't get it at home. My super sweet but skinny hubby loves pizza and wings. Lol. I could use the motivation.

@uyister I’ve been doing some dance workouts on youtube and lifting dumbbells. I just haven’t been as consistent as I’d like.

Welcome to all the new people! 🙂

I have to admit I didn't read carefully, but you're right, it is a very welcoming post! Thank you!

Welcome to everyone who is new! I’ve only been here for four months, but I have to say that this is one of the most inspiring, encouraging, uplifting groups of strangers that I have found anywhere on the internet! So glad to see all the new faces and best of luck on all of your journeys!

Hi! I'm starting over (again). I am a constant yo-yo with my weight. Started at 214 in Dec '19 lost to 180 by July '20 then gained back up to 203 now! I am disappointed that I cant seem to keep the weight off because I fall back into old habits. Hoping this time to learn new habits and keep the weight off as well as keep it going!

Well, TOM showed up June 1st, so I'm going to let that go past before I try to weigh. That, and this one is hitting me a lot harder and I'm staying on the couch/in bed more, because trying to do much other than breathe shallowly hurts a lot.

I lost ~50lbs in 2018-19 and then promptly regained it all back due to a death in the family and covid. I was able to participate in a program through my insurance, and found that a small group with a weekly check-in and a health journal really helped keep me motivated. Now my insurance has changed and I can no longer participate in the program. I've looked at Noom (wanted to speed me through my weightloss X_x I'm a firm believer in slow and steady) and WW (check in groups WAY too big, no actual accountability, personal connection imo)... so I decided to see about accountability buddies/groups on MFP and found this post! I love the vibe and how everyone wants to be accountable and uplifting for each other.

I've been struggling to get back on track, find and keep some motivation, and start over all year.. and I just can't do it alone any more. I'm tired, y'alls. I'm tired of being so unhealthy. I'm tired of being so stiff and sore, I'm tired of having trouble walking, moving, and doing stuff around the house. I'm tired of not having any energy. I'm here to do better. Today I'm starting over.

This has been a really good week for a lot of reasons. Part of it is that I am fiiiinally able to do my HIIT workouts again after having to take four weeks off due to an injury, and those particular workouts really make me feel GOOD. Part of it was that I meal planned REALLY well on Sunday and so cooking and eating this week has been both super easy, super healthy, and super delicious. And part of it is that almost every outfit I have worn this week has been something I couldn’t wear since 2016! 😉

My goals for June are to stay consistent with my current exercise: 3 days a week HIIT, 3 days a week swim, drink 3.5-4L of water a day, and meal plan every week so that I have all the ingredients I need on hand to cook delicious food. I find that if I have put in the time to make something really yummy that fits within my macros and calories, I don’t even want to be eating anything. The trouble comes when I HAVEN’T managed to plan well.. so, that’s what I’m going to work on this month!

Another shocker was when I realized I “only” have 25lbs left to lose. I’ve been used to being in the category of “50 or more lbs to lose” for so long (even more I started this journey) that the idea that I now fall in a different category (not obese, just overweight with some weight to lose) feels astonishing to me. I still catch myself looking in the mirror regularly thinking “I can’t BELIEVE that that girl is me!” I still have a ways to go, but I’m proud of what I have accomplished so far.

Have a marvelous week!
