    As seems to be my pattern the past few months, I gain a pound or so in the first week and then fight to get that off and miss the 5lb target. Started off the same this month, so it's a bit tricky to hit the 5lb target but I'm going to try my best, 12 days to get more off.

    1/6 = 175.0
    11/6 = 176.0 (+1)
    17/6 = 174.4 (1.6)

    So far a net loss of 0.6 lbs !!!

    @Frannybobs, a loss is a loss! Always better to be down than up! We know how easily that weight can creep up on us so to me the most important this is that we stay motivated and we always keep the loss/gain in our control!!!! I know you are not where you wanted to be right now but the main thing is you haven't given up (even when it was tough going) and you are making changes for the better each day - in the long run this is going to work in your favor!

    @dis5150 & @wellbur : Well done on your loss (not just this week but for the last while) - you are so close to your goal and your ultimate goal! I cannot wait until the day I am as close to mine as you are to yours!!! I have 9lbs to go to get to my initial goal and then another 10lbs - 14lbs (depending on how I look/feel) - seems so far away but I know I will get there some day.

    @Norsegodess, make this a good week :wink: and the last week will be forgotten about :smile:

    @JNJN25, You are doing so well and so close to the target for this month. Well done ... keep up the good work.

    Best of luck to everyone for the second half of the month! Still plenty of time to finish with a loss (or an even bigger loss :laugh: )

    5/28: 140.6
    6/4: 136.4 lost a lot in one week but that is partly due to being sick.
    6/11 140.0 Had a very tough week but it's my fault, I ate whatever I wanted and didn't stick to it at all. Can anyone give me advice on staying on target when you get to a low amount of weight because every time I get to a good weight which makes me happy i cheat really bad.
    6/18 -138.6

    I'm so impressed with how well everyone is doing. AND that many have already hit if not exceeded the 5lbs for the month already. Great job everyone!!!

    I wish today was my weigh in day. It would be an AWESOME number. But I have to wait until Friday. My challenge will be to maintain over the next 4 days.

    Keep up the great efforts everyone!! :flowerforyou:

    Weight at start of challenge (6/1): 144
    CW: 142
    GW: 141

    (6/6) : 144 (0)
    (6/13): 143 (-1)
    (6/20): 142 (-1)
    (6/27):
    (6/30) :

    Two down :happy: , one to go for this month :wink:

    Ilb to go to meet my target for this month! Hopefully I will hit it by the end of the month. I am now 7lbs away for my 'initial' goal weight of 135lbs (which will put me a healthy BMI range for the first time in about 7 years - I know BMI is a bit controversial but tell that to my doctor who lives by BMI ranges :laugh: ).

    Well done to everyone with their efforts so far, and best of luck for the remainder of the month.

    Belle, so proud of you! I wish I could be more like you! I think I have gained 2 pounds instead of losing! Ugh. I need to get back to exercising, and I need more sleep. So tired that I've been making bad food decisions.

    Really we are the same weight now? We are also the same height and work in the same area - we are practically twins!!!! Is your goal weight the same as mine?

    My weight loss has slowed down this last month so I think every loss from now on is going to be hard fought!!! I am no longer going to aim to loss 5lbs a month - I think that would be unrealistic so I am going to focus on smaller monthly goals from now on. I set it to 3lbs for this month and will probably only aim for 2lbs next month! I figure if the goals are smaller and I am still achieving them that it will keep me more focused!

    I know if it going to take me longer to get to my goal weight doing it this way but I set a target weight of 135lbs by the end of the year - so I am still on track! We will get there. It may take time but we will get there.

    Belle, just saw this now... We do have the same initial goal - to get to "normal" BMI. I was doing really well for about a month, but now am feeling a bit discouraged. I am normally doing ok during the day, but then evening hits, and I go a bit crazy.
