    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!

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

    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).

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.

    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!

    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!
    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.

    8: 199.1- busy week. Had the roof of our house replaced, had our facia boards wrapped in aluminum to keep the carpenter bees away… and getting new gutters this Tuesday. Luckily it was all hands on deck with the puppies. My son had to carry Nova outside over the roof debris to use the bathroom. She’s getting so big!!

    12: 199.4…time to stop the creep back. My Father-in-Law’s 85th celebration was great. He is currently building a canoe in his workshop. I just love how active he is. I overindulged in cookies and birthday cake though and tonight we’re having a work dinner at a restaurant in Ann Arbor. I just have to keep it in check. No alcohol tonight since I’m such a light weight with drinks and I have a 45-60 minute drive home. Plus, alcohol makes me sleepy. Happy Monday!
    13: 199.5… no alcohol last night and was home by 9:30pm. Today I’m playing with my new hedge trimmers…. I should have taken a before picture!

    Hi, Everyone! I am a 5'4", 45 year-old married female with four kids. I am a two-time cancer survivor, which put me into Early Menopause, and also have Hypothyroidism. Nothing has been consistent in my life for a while now and it is reflecting on the scale.

    6/01 - 192.6
    6/02 - 190.9
    6/03 - 191.4
    6/04 - 191.5
    6/05 - DNW - lost job.
    6/06 - 191.4
    6/07 - 191.6 - Mini-binge.
    6/08 - 191.8
    6/09 - 190.6
    6/10 - 191.6 - Mini-binge again
    6/11 - 189.9
    6/12 - 191.6 - I had a good day yesterday. I'll focus on that and not the bump back up.
    6/13 - 190.5- So close to the 80's club...
    6/14 - 188.3
    6/15 - 188.5 - Busy day hosting my daughter's 7th bday but happy to have my own '80s celebration!
    6/16 - 187.8
    6/17 - 189.8 - I am wishfully hoping this is sodium bloat from popcorn I over-snacked on.
    6/18 - 188.9
    6/19 - 188.8
    6/20 - 188.9
    6/21 - 189.5 - Hubby's dinners have been loading me up with too many carbs.
    6/22 - 189.9 - Hubby and I went out for a date finally and enjoyed a good meal and a beer.

    I am catching up on everyone's journey these past few days. It's been a busy couple of days for me with many doctor's appointments for the whole family, moving furniture, trying to apply for Unemployment while looking for a new job, and then starting PT.

    @jm216 - Congrats for dancing back into the 190's.
    @ddainiak - Thanks for sharing such a beautiful hike!
    @MBSenlighten and @39flavours - great progress!
    @Buckeyebabe7l7 - Such a beautiful family and a beautiful dress on you!
    @Nahamilton127 - Welcome! I struggle with eating my emotions too. This group is wonderfully supportive
    @tassieboy - Great progress!
    @deepwoodslady - Hoping you long day at the mechanics worked out ok for you.
    @joans1976 - Thinking of you. I have had a few months too where I cannot find the groove. There are things going on the inside of us with medications and healing that we are unaware of which takes its toll. Keep continuing to check in when you can and things will change one day. Hugs!

    I have a lot of reading to do to get caught up on myfitnesspal, but I am back. I am three days late as it is Thursday, not Monday, but better late than never, as they say. I was overwhelmed with what I had to do to get the house ready for Father's Day (10 people for a barbecue) and when I am overwhelmed at home I eat. It's not what I need to do but I need to be doing something, so I eat. This very effective avoidance technique is EXACTLY the reason I am in this overweight, excuse me, Obese, boat! Going to a wedding shower on Saturday and getting out of my routine was a small part of it, and also my knee still being really sore, but it was predominantly my feeling of mental overload that did me in. And once started down that road it is very, very difficult to make a u-turn. And just for context, it was completely my idea to host this gathering. My dad is 87 and in a retirement home for just over a year. Mom passed away in November and Dad is so bored. He still drives, but he has nowhere to go. I needed to get him out of there and when my sister wasn't considering hosting something at her house, but visiting him instead, I took the bull by the horns.

    WEDNESDAY WEIGH-IN

    201.8

    First order of business is to get back to Onederland!!

    I just read through all of the posts I had missed. Seems there are a few of us struggling, but also a few inspiring the rest of us with their successes and/or just their dedication to the process!

    @Buckeyebabe7l7 That dress is very flattering on you! You look amazing!
    @ddainiak Thanks for sharing your hiking pictures with us. It is always nice to visit another part of the world, even if it is just virtually! And I agree with you about the 80's being the "fun" years. I started high school in 1980 and graduated from university in 1990, so the whole decade had some fun times, and some late nights, studying!
    @39flavours I hope you are having an amazing vacation and I can't wait to hear all about it when you return!

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight (from May 31st): 194.8
    Goal: xxxxx (Five lb Loss): 189.8
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


    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.

    06/21-196.6-(Trend Weight 196.2)- I Stayed the course yesterday. Ankles feel so tight without the water pills. I can feel fluid retention that I can’t do much about. 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 teen grandson’s 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.

    06/22-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I traveled today for the truck repairs. I hit the coffee hard before I remembered to weigh and didn’t have any time to post before travel. It’s been a long day. Tomorrow’s scale will likely be a morale zapper as it is usually up after travel. I may skip weighing and just check in as I’ve found that looking doesn’t change anything. It may even make it worse. So we will see.
