    Hi all, I'm glad to be back for another month of this great challenge, thanks so much @jm216

    I really want to ramp up my efforts this month and try and make some headway, as I've been slacking the last few months and trudging along. My birthday at the end of August is my target to get my trend weight to 140lbs, which is 6.4lbs away, so I need to FOCUS! I have a trip away for the last 9 days of this month so my challenge is to try to get to 144lbs by then, 1.6lbs in 20 days. It's going to be tough, my body can be very stubborn when it comes to weight loss, but I'm going to try and hit my goals every day.

    Hello, I'm Darlene. I'm 62. I Married, and have one kid (28) and one pup (Monty), no grandkids. I have been retired since 2020. My husband was retired, but returned to work in January. I vowed to take this year to lose weight, get healthy, give up some bad habits, exercise, read more, etc. Back again this month! Thanks again Jill!

    June Goals
    Lose 4 pounds ⚖️
    Log 175+ Miles on Fitbit 🏃‍♂️
    Drink 6-8 Glasses of Water Daily 💦
    Read daily 📖
    Do something creative daily - Knit, Crochet, Color, puzzel etc. 🧶 🖍️ 🧩

    Highest Weight - 227

    Feb Loss - 5 pounds
    March Loss - 5 Pounds
    April Loss - 8 Pounds
    May Loss - 5.2 Pounds
    May Ending weight: 194.8
    Total weight lost to date: 32.2 Pounds
    Goal Weight - 160 (May change as I get closer)

    June 1 - 194.4 - My lowest weight in May was 194.2 - so not cheering yet.
    June 2 - 194 😁
    June 3 - 193.2 😁
    June 4 - 193 😁 - Very happy with this, went out for lunch yesterday, so expected to see a rise!
    June 5 - 192.6 😁
    June 6 - 191.6 😁
    June 7 - 191.6 :|
    Junr 8 - 191 😁 Don't know it's happening, but I'll take it while it lasts.
    June 9 - 191.8 ☹️ I guess I shouldn't be that unhappy - I had a lot of smiles lately.
    Jun 10 - 192.8 ☹️ Took the day off yesterday. First day since Mid March that I was over my calorie limit. The old me would say - "You go off your diet one day and you gain it all back; why bother"; the new me says "Let's hit the next fitbit badge today to make up for it". Woke up early - got a mile on the treadmill. Hoping I can beat my "best in a day" today and get that next badge.
    Jun 11 - 192.8 😁 Well got that badge yesterday; 25,789 steps! My goal is to only use 1/2 of calories gained by exercise, did that. Drank all my water. I also rmet the 1,000 miles in 2023 milestone. I will be over halfway there today. So, I took a smile today. Somethings gotta happen! Maybe there will be a big swish tomorrow.
    Jun 12 - :| 192.4 Not a big swish, but at least I'm down from yesterday.
    Jun 13 - 191.8 :| Making my way back slowly but surely.
    Jun 14 - 191.6
    Jun 15 - 191.2
    Jun 16 - 189.6 😁 Made it there. Hoping I can keep it there; It's going to be a challenging couple of days. Having lunch with my old work buddies today, then my daughter is coming over tonight to take us out to dinner to celebrate Father's day. Two outings in one day! We'll probably go out for breakfast on Saturday too before she goes back home. I'm going to have a good time, but hopefully make some wise choices and get a walk in before and after my lunch date.
    Jun 17 - 191 - Well is was a short stay, but hoping to relocate there for a longer stay this week! It is what I expected, so not disappointed. Had a wonderful day visiting my old work friends. They are all still there; reminded me how fortunate I am to have retired (they ciomplained a lot - LOL). Then had a nice dinner with my daughter and hubby. He decided he wanted to eat in, get pizza. She made a great dessert. I did stay within my calorie limit all day, but the sodium levels from lunch and pizza werre off the charts. Out for breakfast this morning to Hubby's favorite breakfast spot, then I'm back to the grindstone.
    Jun 18 - 190.6
    Jun 19 - 190.6 - Still struggling to see the 180s again. Beginning to think it was a figment of my imagination!
    Jun 20 - 190.4 -Still haning on to those 90s!

    06/19-196.6-(Trend Weight 196.0)- A great day yesterday but I gave in to a little late night hunger and cravings. Luckily I burned extra calories doing some yard work yesterday. I don’t know why my dinners are not holding me over better. On paper, the menus sound perfect for satiety and so do the snacks. I’ve got to figure this out.

    06/20-196.8-(Trend Weight 196.0)- I’ve really been wasting June. The opportunity to eat right is there every day and the weather has been good for extra outside activity. Lots of excuses but, in the end, really no excuse whatsoever and nothing that should stand in the way.

I usually use 1/2 of my earned calories from exercise - going to shoot for not using them at all and see if that gets me out of the 90s. Don't get me wrong, the 1990s were good years (that's when my daughter was born), but the 80s were fun times (my twenty years).

    Speaking of pictures I promised a pic of me from the wedding. I am not at my ultimate goal weight but I am so glad I am 80 lbs down from where I started. This picture is with my twin daughters, the pregnant one is in flats and the other is in ridiculously high heels otherwise they are the same height. The 3rd pretty lady is my daughter in law and with her is one of my grands!

I’ll try pushing water today again. I had my truck repair appointment out-of-town at the dealership wrong. It wasn’t Monday, it is tomorrow. Luckily my daughter has her head on straight and we didn’t go. LOL. Today I take my two teen grandsons for their haircuts at my salon. Lunch afterwards. Since I’ll be out of town tomorrow for that 7 hour repair and 3 hour total drive, I’ll skip lunch today and just watch them eat.

    @Buckeyebabe7l7 Congrats and beautiful family!
    @Nahamilton127 What a great way to start your days with prayer. For the challenges, may I suggest something once taught to me called the “3 Ds” - Delay, Distract, Distance.

    Another suggestion is to have some nice flavored sugar-free gum out on the kitchen counter, herbal teas, along with liquid vanilla stevia. Maybe even a candle. It’s fun to light a candle and have a warm tea and this may soothe emotions too. My mom recently gave me a lovely flowery smelling gift set from Bath and Body Works (candles, lotion, body wash, bath salts, etc) to celebrate my hard work on my diet. I kept this all right on the entry of my kitchen counter for the first few weeks as a reminder that there are so many ways to reward ourselves. Even just interacting with the sense of smell, and these scents have lasted longer than a bouquet of flowers.

    June 1 - 194.4 - My lowest weight in May was 194.2 - so not cheering yet.
    June 2 - 194 😁
    June 3 - 193.2 😁
    June 4 - 193 😁 - Very happy with this, went out for lunch yesterday, so expected to see a rise!
    June 5 - 192.6 😁
    June 6 - 191.6 😁
    June 7 - 191.6 :|
    Junr 8 - 191 😁 Don't know it's happening, but I'll take it while it lasts.
    June 9 - 191.8 ☹️ I guess I shouldn't be that unhappy - I had a lot of smiles lately.
    Jun 10 - 192.8 ☹️ Took the day off yesterday. First day since Mid March that I was over my calorie limit. The old me would say - "You go off your diet one day and you gain it all back; why bother"; the new me says "Let's hit the next fitbit badge today to make up for it". Woke up early - got a mile on the treadmill. Hoping I can beat my "best in a day" today and get that next badge.
    Jun 11 - 192.8 😁 Well got that badge yesterday; 25,789 steps! My goal is to only use 1/2 of calories gained by exercise, did that. Drank all my water. I also rmet the 1,000 miles in 2023 milestone. I will be over halfway there today. So, I took a smile today. Somethings gotta happen! Maybe there will be a big swish tomorrow.
    Jun 12 - :| 192.4 Not a big swish, but at least I'm down from yesterday.
    Jun 13 - 191.8 :| Making my way back slowly but surely.
    Jun 14 - 191.6
    Jun 15 - 191.2
    Jun 16 - 189.6 😁 Made it there. Hoping I can keep it there; It's going to be a challenging couple of days. Having lunch with my old work buddies today, then my daughter is coming over tonight to take us out to dinner to celebrate Father's day. Two outings in one day! We'll probably go out for breakfast on Saturday too before she goes back home. I'm going to have a good time, but hopefully make some wise choices and get a walk in before and after my lunch date.
    Jun 17 - 191 - Well is was a short stay, but hoping to relocate there for a longer stay this week! It is what I expected, so not disappointed. Had a wonderful day visiting my old work friends. They are all still there; reminded me how fortunate I am to have retired (they ciomplained a lot - LOL). Then had a nice dinner with my daughter and hubby. He decided he wanted to eat in, get pizza. She made a great dessert. I did stay within my calorie limit all day, but the sodium levels from lunch and pizza werre off the charts. Out for breakfast this morning to Hubby's favorite breakfast spot, then I'm back to the grindstone.
    Jun 18 - 190.6
    Jun 19 - 190.6 - Still struggling to see the 180s again. Beginning to think it was a figment of my imagination!
    Jun 20 - 190.4 -Still haning on to those 90s!
    Jun 21 - 190.4 - We have a small vacation coming up July 7-10 (Nashville) so I am going to go above and beyond for the next couple of weeks. I usually use 1/2 of my earned calories from exercise - going to shoot for not using them at all and see if that gets me out of the 90s. Don't get me wrong, the 1990s were good years (that's when my daughter was born), but the 80s were fun times (my twenty years).
    Jun 22 - DWN -Don't Wanna Know! Trivia night last night, was under my calorie range for the day, but the salt from the pizza! We tied for first place, but lost the tie breaker so got second. I don't have any othre committments or distractions until our trip, so time to focus, focus, focus.
