    Successes/struggles - I'm so pleased, but my biggest success is my disabled son walked a longer distance than ever before, after joining me on daily walks :smiley: no struggles to speak of, have been getting black spots when I stand - suspect low blood sugar. Hoping it goes away or will start incorporating a wee bit more sugar.

It's ALL about the clean eating this month, so it will be interesting to see how much I an affect my weight with motivation, walking less than 20mins at a time, and eating as clean as I can. No excuses. Follow through.

    Successes / struggles this week: Two frustrations this week: first I recorded my start weight wrong on this thread and then had that number in my mind all week until I actually looked at my log and I was a pound more. Second is that I stayed under calories and got my workouts in all week and the scale hasn't budged. I'm hoping it's just TOM bloat. We are headed out for an 8 day family vacation tomorrow morning and I really wanted to see a loss to motivate me to stay on track while away.

    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.
