    TOTAL LOST IN THIS CHALLENGE:



    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


    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.

    06/04-182.6-(Trend Weight: 184.9)-

    06/11-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- I had so many different out-of-town appointments and/or engagements over this past week that it seemed useless to even try weighing when I know the bloat is temporary and any gain will be lost again in short order. I need to get back on the exercise train too. All these obligations are beginning to really cramp my style. Have a great week everyone!

    06/18-186.4-(Trend Weight: 184.9)- I weighed in at a whopping 187 yesterday after a day of travel, another day of food fest graduation open house, another day of sitting all day driving out-of-town then sitting in the movie theater with grandson (Disney Pixar Inside Out 2), then a Father’s Day BBQ. It’s been a food filled week. I dropped 0.6 since yesterday and am committed to shedding this excess. It sure goes on faster than it comes off! Today I will be sitting for 3 hours at the hairdresser, then coming home and trying to avoid the heat. I won’t get in much movement but I will stick to my plan. I sure wish I had A/C when the weather hits in the 90’s like this. Yesterday was miserable and filled with cold wet towels. The Salon should have A/C so that’s a plus!

    Starting MFP for the 2nd time. Lost 20lbs many years ago. Gained some of the weight back after life happened. Looking for motivation and accountability. Drinking more water, less Diet Coke. Plan on weighing daily and wanting to lose 10lbs.

    @Xcmomma01 Welcome to the group. It's so very nice to have you here!

    Thank you Ruby for doing this challenge.
    Just home from a brief holiday where I visited many friends, and all except one are much thinner and fitter than I am. Became very aware of being ‘heavy’, esp for my 5’1”.
    I’m so happy I found this challenge group. Sorry I'm late joining but need an 'official' restart point.
    These past months have been disasterous; weight has crept up, struggling with arthritic issues in ankle and foot preventing me from nature walks which is a favorite exercise. I've fallen into the rut of been looking back, missing recreation options of 'where we used to live'. I have to start looking forward and building new habits, using home equip and build a routine.
    Present weight is 177ish, goals are to lose in 5# increments to 155, but to shed 30 pounds would be heavenly. I'm a senior who still works part time. Some days it's a struggle, fatigue becomes an issue, but the rewards of assisting and helping older seniors outweigh the negatives. I'd be quite lost without this contact.
    Late starting this Challenge so dates adjusted to Fridays.

    May 24: 175.6
    May 31: 173.6 ( -2 )
    Jun 07 : 173.6 Recovered from wt flare. Back to food jrnling.
    Jun 9th: 175.2, no mercy, no wiggle room.
    Jun 17 : 175.6 Feeling less fatigued. Weird but not feeling discouraged by my lack to wt loss, but instead optimistic that I’ll be successful. Just need to finish each day with the same self-control as pre-3pm.
    Jun 21 : 175
    Jun 27th: 172.2 … just putting this in here to anchor my motivation

It doesn’t matter what my dinner is, how full I am, when the binge starts it doesn’t stop sometimes for hours. All I can do is take the win since my last weigh-in and focus on good habits as often as I can. I need to exercise more too. There is really no excuse. I gained 5.2 pounds this month and I’m up 1.4 for the whole challenge. I hope that July will find things better. It comes in streaks.
