So last month went overall pretty well. I had a few set backs and an ear infection from swimming so much, but I'm proud that I didn't let my mini weight plateau get me down for too long.
Weekly goals for June:
Log all food = 7x
Stay under calorie limit = 7x
30 mins of cardio = 3x
Strength train = 2x
My NSV from last month was finally being able to swim 2 laps without stopping. When I'd first started I could only swim half a lap and I get to the end of the pool/deep end and need to rest and gulp lots of air. Then I slowly was able to do a full lap, then a lap and a half. Now I can do two full ones!27 -

Ready for June!
Goals:
1) Step up my workout routine , daily resistance and HIIT-- 5-6 x a week
2) Keep tracking -- Daily!
3) Stay Positive and Focused!
4) Meet my budget / financial goals
Just restarted my journey (for the umpteenth time) on May 13th, so haven't seen "major" progress yet... Hopefully, pants will start to fit looser and my endurance will increase over the month. We will see!13 -
The last few months I have lost myself. The month of May was really bad. I'm trying to get back on track for June, eating healthier and exercise. I am also going to try to be more active in group.

I’ve been consistent since January but am making slow progress. I’m trying to put run a bad diet basically. My next goal weight is 193 or the 2nd 10% of my body weight. I log daily but do t have many friends on MFP.
NSV for May was that I was able to hike the Butte, which is a mini mountain, twice. It’s only a little over a mile but 1/2 way up you start climbing 505 steps. I was able to do it the second time a little faster without as many stops.
My June goal is to get under 200. It would be the first time In 10 years. Once I’m under 200 my daughter has challenged me to start jogging with her. Wish me luck on that, I haven’t jogged/ran since I was in the navy 20+ years ago.

I beat my May goal of dropping below 250, just barely. So June is at or below 240.
I also beat my 500 Squat Challenge. ^^
In June I mostly want to get more sun and eat more fiber. I don't want to set lofty goals until my doctor figures out what's wrong with my stomach. It's pretty bad.

Hi I'm new to the group but would love to join and make some friends to help motivate me. I started at 250lbs and now weigh 229, so my goal for the month will be to get to 220 or below.13

My goal is to track my food intake everyday and stick to my diet. Keeping it simple!9

My goals for June are to get to 225 by the end of the month minimum. I also would like to keep up my exercise regimen to at least 4 times a week, 30 minutes a day. My NSV for May is finally starting up again on the path to a healthy life. My weight is way higher than what it has ever been, and there are many reasons for that, but I’m done with excuses. I need to fix it, and MFP works for me. Let’s do this guys!14 -
Hello, this is my first time posting on the forum but I've tried using FitnessPal many, many times in the past, embarrassingly enough. Every time I've checked in after a certain amount of time has passed, it was only to log how much weight I've gained (68 pounds overall
)
But I feel like I'm at a place of my life right now where I feel more equipped with a determination to see things through, and that wasn't really there before. I've been logging what I eat for about 20 days now, so now I want to take that next step to engage with a community a bit more.
My goal this time is to take things slow and don't get too ahead of myself. I have a tendency to get down on myself when I don't see enough progress quickly, even though I know it's irrational. I want to take things one day at a time and look back on this thread when I'm dealing with those moments of self-defeat.

Getting these message boards figured out slowly. I just quit Weight Watchers because I always try to find the loopholes. I’m tired of cheating my weight loss. I’ve tracked everything for the past 24 days. Now to really focus on the next thing.

Salutations Ladies!
I'm working hard to achieve my goals and inspire others to achieve there's as well. There have been hurdles in May when I have cheated on my diet BUT I've never gone over my daily calorie limit. One thing I need to cut out is a new habit I've discovered is in the middle of the night snacking. Always something small but I shouldn't be doing it at all. A thing to work on for sure.

GW:180 (For now)
Goal weight for June: 299
I plan on achieving this through my cardio workouts. I have a Fitbit and use it daily to keep myself moving. I have also signed up for my first 5K which will be in August so that's something I'm training for starting next week via the running program Couch to 5K. So ive got 8 weeks to be whipped into running shape.
My victory for the month of June is that although the scale hasn't budged so far (weigh in on June 1st) I have dropped another dress size. I started at 26 pants the beginning of last year and then went down to a 24 now I'm a 22 and I'm hoping I will be 20-18 by the end of the year. So exciting!
Also if any of you want to be friends on here please add me. I am always looking for people to encourage and my food diary is always open for viewing.17 -

End GW: 150
Aiming for first mini goal by the end of June, 2nd by end of July, 3rd by end of August, 4th by end of September and final goal by the end of October or, more accurately, the middle of November. I lost 6 lbs last month while kind of slacking off, so I'm trying to focus and work harder this month to knock out ten pounds. Once I reach 150 I may adjust my goals to see how it looks on me and if I want to lose more or stay put. I'm 5'10" and haven't been 150 since I was young (I've always been a chubbo), so I have no idea how I'll look! Closest I've ever been was 155, but it was from severe deficit when I couldn't afford to feed myself and pay my rent at the same time, so we'll just have to see the difference with weight lifting.11 -

Goal 160
Hey ladies need some encouragement and some friend adds to keep me motivated. I lost a lot of weight before (was 175) and slowly gained it all back over the last 7 years. I did it with tracking before so I know it works !!
Goals for June:
Log every day
3 times to the gym per week
Walk dog at least 5 days
12 -
Hi ladie!
Definitely looking for some support. I feel so unmotivated right now. My SW was 237 back in September 2018 and I started with only cardio (treadmill) 3 times a week at the gym. I gave myself mini rewards for each month I stayed consistent but fell off a bit around the holidays with working out and eating right. I got back into full swing in February of this year at a new gym and started incorporating weights/weight machines along with cardio 3 days a week. I’ve been consistently tracking my food and trying to watch (not super strict though) my carbs and increase my protein intake.
My husband and I saw (and still see) changes in my body but when I got weighed at the doctors in May, it showed my weight was at 248 😫😫😫. I wanted to cry so bad. I confirmed my weight at home with my digital scale. I’m hoping to get back on track and out of this funk!10 -
Hi Ladies, excited to give it another try. I’ve been struggling with my weight for years and I’m at my all time high. With constant health issues stemming from my weight. It’s a must that I get it together so here I am.

Hi ladies. I'd like to join in on this. I'm getting back into the swing of things after maintaining since November of last year. I've started tracking again and I know eating better makes me feel better and right now it seems it's the only thing in my life I can control. Lots going on with work that's stressing me out. I'd like to get a gym membership (again) and start going 2-3 times a week. I looked at the gym near me and they have a cycling class in the mornings but it's at 5:15 am My much younger brother has expressed interest in going to the gym, so I may see if I can get him to go with me after work some nights. My husband is also wanting to go to the gym again.

It would be great to get back into the 240s by August, when my birthday is. I was 245 when I met my husband and I'd love to get back to that and then continue from there.6 -

It could be that you weighed more than that before you had your doctors visit or it could be that although you've lost weight you've also gained muscle. The scale can only show us so much.

Pre-SW 130’s or 140
SW - was post menopause pregnant way way over 200lbs
After SW - baby born 195 yo-yo up y down around that number
CW - 175
GW- 140’s 150’s anything besides where Im at still.
Perimenopause (menopause restart button got hit),tubal tie,placental abruption, multiple surgeries to fix my insides from baby, bed rest for a year on left side only, 2yr old so trouble excersicing with him wanting me to hold him to eating his snacks call to me on a bad day so growing my willpower! Being old doesn’t help anything.
Was born with inside out uterus to IBS/ colitis/Spastic Colon. So used to be thin no matter what I did...now my metabolism blew a tire lol. I got less stomach symptoms after my son so no more chronic diarrhea. Probably was helping me to stay thin. Feel healthier just normal old folk aches to pains now . Can’t get up off the floor without help need to be able to keep up with the baby! Since my Navy Daughter 20’s grandkids might be in my future to chase too someday. I need to live long enough to see my son graduating college!

Logging daily - 1100 cals. Swimming 4 times a week, Walking 2 twice a week. Add hand weights in the morning when getting up. Food - Tortilla Chips only 1 time a week only. Increase Seafood to once daily. Increase water with lime and mint. Aim for minimal processed food - fresh. My NVS is whiter skin (less yellow tone from cholesterol deposits apparently). If you have yellow below or above your eyes, apparently excess bad cholesterol forms there...the condition is called Xanthelasmas.
These are my eyes in May (no make up)- they are improved and hoping to get even better

June goal weight: 10 lbs changed—either lost or converted to muscle.
I was dreading 2019 owing to looming family illnesses menacing the holidays. Unfortunately, the year has not disappointed. However, it has given me a much-needed kick in the pants. At this rate, I’ll need to shave my head in sisterhood solidarity with chemo-affected family, and I’m no Sinead O’Connor. Mini goal and short term focus is to get 1-2 hrs weight and cardio in, 5 days a week, so that I can rock the shorn look a bit better. Looking at 4-6 weeks max for this first change.8 -
In keeping with this June restart and 10 lbs. changed mini goal, today, (May 31,) I have:
- 5 minutes full out on workplace rowing machine
- 20 minutes front and back lateral pulls workplace weights
- 30 minutes bodyweight glutes/core workout at home
- 5 minutes jumping rope at home
It’s a start, which is miles more than dreaming about starting.7 -
My stomach is better but now the world is on fire and the smoke has blotted out the sun.
Oh well. Down to 247.8 today. I have so far to go still but it's coming off pretty good. It may be possible to hit my mini goal of 200 by Christmas.9 -
Just looking to stay committed to this app. I used it during my second pregnancy and it help me stay on track and not gain a ton of weight. I gained 70lbs with my 3rd and now I’m trying to get back on track while breastfeeding. My goal this month is to log my food diary every day.
