Happy Monday! I didn't see it started so hopefully I didn't miss it further down...

Well it is here. Tomorrow is officially June again. Our 1 year anniversary. WOW. I am so proud of all of us that have stuck to it. We are very fortunate to have such an amazing group to rely on for support. Goodness knows we have ALL had our ups and downs. Thanks to all of you for being here when I needed a nudge ( or kick) in the right direction.

To celebrate our 1 year anniversary I finally appear to have broken my plateau. I think I have been hovering around 147.5 for around 3 months now (up a little, but never below 147) Today I am finally down.

LW 147.4
CW 145

Goal is still 135. My goal last June was a year which is up in 10 days so that will not be achieved, but I am happy where I am for now so C'est La Vie!

Hope all of the June Starters in the USA are having a fantastic long weekend.

    Wow!! One year ladies! Look how far we have come :) I am so proud of each and every one of you keeping up with this, and I hope it has helped you to achieve your dreams. And if there are still dreams to be realized, June Starters is still here!

    I am proud to say that I got to my original goal weight. I of course moved it down 5 lbs., but I think that is just to keep myself honest :blushing: I don't care if I ever see 135, I just want to be in shape and feel good about my body. Hooray!!! I don't know what I will do to celebrate today, but I will do something! Anyone going shopping or anything?

    H A P P Y ~ A N N I V E R S A R Y ! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Happy Anniversary ladies!! What a year it has been! After struggling with my weight for most of my life, I never thought I would see the day where I was 132 lbs, and excited to buy a bikini for beach season! Its really too bad that my beach season will be mostly spent inside, infront of my computer, writing my thesis. But in the grande scheme, graduating is more important than the beach.

    Sorry I've been massively awol these past few weeks, I hadn't been logging or weighing in. For most of it I was away, eating out, or eating food I had no way of logging. But, I'm back at home (for now) and can keep track of what I'm eating!

    I leave again a week from today to go back to my hometown, where one of my best friends is getting married. I bought my dress and it looks great! I'm really excited about wearing it, definitely a major change from a year ago!

    And to celebrate our one year anniversary, my body timed things just right that I would reach quite a milestone. I don't remember what my stats were on my last weigh-in (or even when it was) :embarassed:, but I do know this..
    SW 182.4
    CW 132.2 (-50.2 lbs)!
    I have officially made it to the 50 lbs lost mark! It feels great, and I owe it all to you wonderful gals! :flowerforyou:

    Happy anniversary girls, and here's to another great year! :drinker:

    AWESOME! We've all come so far! I :heart: our group! I love that even when we've only had 2 weigh in's we've still posted and kept up with it all!

    :flowerforyou:

    My goal was to be at my goal weight by now but since I'm smaller in size than I've ever been- I'm happy! I still want to work towards my goal and I will but I'm by no means considering this a missed goal. I'm in a size SIX!! I'll be celebrating by going shopping soon. Gonna charge a new wardrobe and pay it off. LOL :laugh:

    Don't mind the way I'm standing or the lack of makeup in the second one. (And oh how I hate the first picture up there. GRRR never again!)

    Happy Anniversary Girls!!!

    I'm so proud of every one of us. This journey has not been easy and is not over, but look how far we've all come. KJ, I too have mixed feelings. I would like to be a little further along but I'm trying not to take for granted how big my accomplishment is so far. Let's keep it up ladies!

    i :heart: June Starters!!!

    Yollie - Wow, just a little over a month to go. Do you have a set C-section date yet? I assume they wont let you go into labour if your placenta has not moved yet. I bet you are getting to the point that you just want the baby to be here. I am so excited for you. I also remember well how nice it is to reclaim your body.

    Busymom- amazing transformation. You should be so proud. BTW you look awesome even without hair and makeup. Your daughter is adorable!

    Shanna- Don't beat yourself up. The gain could be anything. The important thing is that you are still here with us.

    June Starters are amazing! :heart:

    Time to get serious. I have 8 weeks until my dress fitting. I would love to lose 12 lbs by then.

    Had a good start to the day, strawberries, granola and a banana...mmmm!

    happy anniversary everyone :flowerforyou:

    I've had a bad week, eaten out and oh dear i had a chocolate binge. i don't know what it is but i lost motivation totally this week. Middle of the week i was up 2 lbs but there was a little miracle this morning.

    SW- 180
    LW- 133.2
    CW- 133.0

    I actually made a loss. really don't know how that happened but i ain't complaining.

    Heres to a brand new year of mfp. :drinker:
    just look at how much all of us have lost. its amazing.

    Busymom and Maggs - it is okay. Shake it off and get back on the horse. Busymom - find it hard to believe that you could possibly be up 4 pounds, I don't blame you for not logging that I wouldn't either. Maggs- 1 pound could be anything, don't get discouraged!

    Kaja- look at you losing weight even after bad eating. Congrats! But don't let it go to your head.

    WTG Friday weighers for sticking with it!!

    Well, they wanted to do the c-section on July 6th but that is just 4 days shy of my due date and I am moving an hour and a half from the hospital. I am terrified that I will go into labor before then and have to drive to the hospital and not make it. I have a doc appt on the 9th and I'm gonna beg and plead for her to move it to June 28th.

    I hope you get your way, although I am sure the doctor will weigh the pros and cons of an earlier delivery and make the right decision. Depending on when you had your other kids they probably aren't worried about you going early. Keep us posted!

    Well, I will be 38 weeks and you are considered full term at 37 weeks so I don't see why there would be a problem. I would be worried more about me going into labor and not making it to the hospital if I were her! Haha :)
