    I had ankle surgery June 1st, I swore I would never weigh more than 250 lbs. When I took the cast off I tipped the scale at 258.5 lbs. I started counting calories again and I've lost 8 lbs. in June. It's aggressive but I'm committed become active again and lose another 10 pounds this month.

    Not new here but been away for far too long. A few years ago I lost 75 pounds and have since gained it all back. Not happy with myself and how I look so committed to starting again and achieving my goals.

    Trying to avoid the scale so when the number doesn't change I don't get discouraged. Also curbing my sweet tooth and Coke Zero addiction.

    I'm ready to truly commit to something. So a challenge should be a good way to dive in.

    Starting Weight: I think it's 203, but I'm not certain as I'm mid move and my scale is elsewhere... to be updated on the first weigh in...
    Goal Weight: 195 lbs by the end of July

    Struggles/Success:
    Okay so I can never seem to truly commit to any actual diet plan and I lack motivation. I would really like to be more accountable for my dietary actions.

    This month will be interesting, I have to carb load at the end of this week which means 2 days of lots of carbs and calories because the 9th I'm doing a marathon, I'll miss the weigh in on the 10th because after the marathon we are headed to see my in laws for 5 days, but I can be good with my eating there.

    Like others here, I am not new. I want to get back on track since I regained all that I had lost once upon a time. I've done well so far this week but could really use the motivation so that I don't fall back off the wagon. Lets do this!

    I am new here A few years ago I lost 75 kilos and have since nearly gained it all back. Had 9 surgeries in the last 2 years. Still limp badly and have taken leave from work for intense physiotherapy. I think this is my second chance and intend to put everything I can into this.

    No dreams just goals

    Successes / struggles this week: I'm allowed to exercise again after none for four weeks following minor surgery, horray!
    Only lost 2lbs during last month's challenge but have to remember to not be hard on myself, focus on food intake, and remember I've lost more than 20lbs since January. It's the big picture that counts!

    Good luck everyone :smile:

    I struggle with low blood sugar and have taken it to the extreme eating all the time which has caused me to gain 20 lbs this year. I have got to get my diet back under control! Looking forward to seeing all the accomplishments this coming month! Good luck to everyone:)

    Successes / struggles this week: I did my monthly fast of 3 days this last week so that could be (probably is) why I'm down so much. None of my measurements are down kind of discouraging if the body hasn't changed. If I'm down more then a pound or two next week I may need to change my goal.
