    I’m right there with you! I’m afraid to get on the scale because I’m positive there’s a hefty gain I don’t want to see. We travelled last weekend, and the jet lag kicked my butt. It took a full week to recover. I was exhausted, so no working out and my diet was complete crap. Working to get back on track today. New week, new start.

    Avoiding the truth won't make it go away. You are the only one who can hold yourself accountable. Using the scale to tell you what you're already pretty sure of might help you make the changes on a day-to-day basis to achieve your goals. Just avoiding the scale because it might have a number you don't want to see is an avoidance behavior.

    Oh well, the last 4 days have been very busy for me- I was crewing for my husband who was running a long distance race, with no time to manage my food I relied on easily available food which was pizza and pasta. I tried very hard to limit portions and eat healthy but here I am — just a pound lighter than where I started.

    June Start Weight: 159.3 lbs
    June Goal Weight: 156 lbs
    Ultimate Goal Weight:137 lbs


    June 5: 159.8 . So disappointed !! But I am going to keep going !!
    June 12: 158.1 1 lbs is great
    June 19:157.3

    June 26:158 lbs

    Agreed, very much so… for some people. But, I also don’t need a scale to tell me what I already know. I had a gain. How much? I really didn’t want to know because I knew I would end up feeling really bad about it and would beat myself up over it. I had already had a very emotionally draining week, and I just needed a break from the “down-ness”. So, I opted not to weigh-in and just to try harder this week, and it worked. I lost. Sometimes avoidance is what I need, sometimes it’s not. Part of it is knowing my own limits and not exceeding them. The last time I was on this journey, I learned that about myself. It was a good lesson. Not everyone is wired the same, and it’s good to know what works for you. 🙂

    June 30:

    I was away for the week of June 22nd and will fly out again tomorrow. It does not look like I will make goal of 196.2lbs by the end of June, but I am actually very happy with myself. Did not gain while away last week (that's huge especially because I couldn't weigh the food and had to estimate my calories), and I have lost 5lbs for the month (officially in Onederland)

    My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.

    Start Weight (from May 31, 2023 ): 194.8
    Goal Weight: 189.8 (5 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Weight: xxxxx
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)



    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    06/01-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)-

    06/08-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)-

    06/15-196.4-(Trend Weight: 195.8)-

    06/22-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- Flew out the door with a ton of coffee in my belly before I could weigh this morning. Truck repairs out-of-town are now2 complete along with oil change/tire rotation and recall repairs. Next week the other vehicle will get done. This has not been a good month although I’ve tried harder this week than any other week (until today’s travel and restaurants.) Getting back in the groove though. \
    06/29-196.8-(Trend Weight: 197.1)- Since last week, things have taken a turn and I have lost all self control. So, for those of you also struggling, you are not alone. I will get back up on the horse, I just can’t promise if it will be tomorrow or not. I am totally committed to making July a better month than June. No excuses.
    06/30-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-



    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
