    06/20-196.8-(Trend Weight: 196.0)- I feel like I’ve just been wasting June. I really need to give it my all! The good news is that my trend weight (while moving a little throughout the week here & there) is still the same as last week even though my weight has went up. It is having faith in me that I haven’t had in myself. Time to show it that it was right!

    06/27-198.0-(Trend Weight: 197.1)- Clearly this has been an out-of-control week for me. A week which should have been much better on paper. 3 days left in the month to try to make nice before going into July. Ugh!

    We are still on our two week vacation. I am really relaxed and carefree. We eat fruit every morning for breakfast. And then we eat a lighter lunch. Our dinner is usually a protein and lots of veggies.

    We have been swimming and walking on the beach. My broken leg has healed well enough and I can walk very comfortably.

    June 20 12,535 steps
    June 21 16,804
    June 22. 16,636
    June 23. 10,433
    June 24 16,251
    June 25. 14,784
    June 26. 7,727
    June 27. 15,597

    At least we aren't just lying on the beach eating and drinking all day long.
    I am not near a scale but I'll weigh when I get back.
    Have a great day!

    I am a 5'3" retiree living in upstate NY.
    I started tracking again with MFP in January 2022.
    My final goal weight is 145.

    Starting weight as of 1/3/22: 230 lbs

    Apr 28: 159.6
    May 5: 158.2
    May 12: 158.4
    May 19: 158.6
    May 26: 158.4
    June 2: 159.3
    June8: 156.7
    June 16: 158.4
    June 25: 158.3
    June 30: 157.4

    Challenge Goal: 5 lbs (154.6)
    Challenge Actual: 2.2 (157.4)

    Nice to have a decent loss this week. I felt better than last week so I was able to get back to my normal workouts but I'm still tiring easily. The smoky air is back so I haven't been able to do too much outdoors. Calorie burns per my fitness tracker were weird for a few days this week and said my heart rate was up. As a result I burned more than twice as many calories as usual for those days. Not sure if that was wacky or not but I resisted eating those calories just in case.

    Have a great week!

But this has honestly been a bad month overall My total gain in June has been 3.4 pounds in the wrong direction. I’ve got to commit to making July better. I really need it for my health as everything goes further south when I gain weight. Congrats to everyone who rocked it in any way in June.
