Adjusting check-in dates to use my regular Friday weigh-ins (pins) for my personal tracking. Checking in between weigh-ins helped keep me focused, will keep that up in June.

Today's Thoughts: So the scale has caught up with my efforts to get back on track! It will take a sustained effort to pull the trend weight back down, and get my 7 day exercise averages back up. That's how that works, so I'm ok with it.
I took a proactive step staring down the week to another family gathering. My daughter in law likes to host, but she's got a crazy Friday & Saturday looming so I volunteered to host Father's Day here. I've set on a menu that will please the kids, my son, and my husband - and give Jesse & me some healthy options ...
* Veggie Tray & Chips to start
* Burgers or Brats & Grilled Chicken Breast
* Hot Dogs
* Corn on Cob
* Broccoli Quinoa Tabouli
* Mac or Potato Salad
* Cream Cheese Swirled Carrot Cake
* Watermelon
What are some of your strategies for staying on your program during all the summer activities?

I have been logging on MFP daily but I have not posted on this month's thread until now.
I'm very happy that I have lost 1/2 inch off my waist since I last measured - maybe two months ago. The weight loss trend is moving down slowly and I like to think that adding sit-ups and plank to our warm up at the gym has helped lately.

I was doing a detox as my tummy has been really bad and bloated for over a week. I do this once a month but usually just stick to the usual intermittent fasting 16:8.3 -
I don’t always fast and often switch up different strategies when I have stalls. Fasting has always been good for me and I’m a firm believer in the benefits of fasting as a believer in detoxing as well. I am also a bypass patient so my calorie intake is much less than most. When I do fast, it has always made me feel much better afterwards. I respect your opinions and thank you for sharing with me.
Just in case there was any misunderstanding, I do not promote self starving. I use intermittent fasting 16:8 and once a month I do a week of Intermittent Fasting 5:2 which is the above 48 hour fast. There are several groups on MFP community about this and for people who use this method.4 -
Starting this a little late. I haven't used the app consistently in years. But I'm feeling excited and motivated right now. I'm going to start w/ small goals and this seems like a great first step! I struggle the most over the weekend so I will be weighing myself on Mondays (UGH) and Fridays.

Weekends are also my biggest struggle. I always spend most of my week repairing weekend damage. We can do this !3 -
Remember guys, this is a supportive and friendly challenge!
If someone’s method bothers you, then speak about it to either myself or the actual person on a private message nicely and we will do our best to resolve what someone is finding inappropriate or offensive.
I have read through the comments, no-one is promoting starvation, and no-one is suggesting or forcing anyone todo something they are uncomfortable with.
A lot of people do fasting to help their metabolism, or for bloating and many more reasons. So long as they are doing it safely then there is nothing wrong with that.
Please be respectful to one another and support each other.
Just because a method does not work for you, does not mean it does not work for another.10 -

Many people fast at Summer Equinox. I know a few people who fast 1 day per week, and some do 2 days per week (David Suzuki is a proponent). It is also a part of some religions. It purportedly resets the mind and the body.
Some consider a fast anything less than 500 calories in a day. Do you eat anything on those days or just water?
I am thinking that I might incorporate a fast day every once in awhile, but I am not sure that I can do without my coffee ; - )
I love watching your progress, you are truly inspiring.

Yes actually on those days I do have water tea and coffee but no sugar. I use stevia to help with the coffee. When I do a 48 hour I do the under 500 calories a day. I’ve never done longer than that but I know a few people who have. I’m not made for that tho lol. Muslims just finished doing Ramadan which is a month of fasting everyday from sunrise to sunset and only eat at night. So yes because of this and so many other reasons I truly believe in the benefits of fasting physically and spiritually. Thank you so much for your kind message Dawn ❤️❤️6 -

May was not a great month for me. I had way to much going on (vacation, graduation, end of the year programs/projects, and parties) every time I turned around. School is out for the summer though and I am ready to get back on track. Being a mother of 5 (2 which are adults supposedly) can take a toll on you sometimes. Thank goodness I have an amazing family and husband that help me.

@dawnbgethealthy I have an all called BodyFast
It’s a fasting app I use when my weight it stuck for a long time and it helps get it moving again
It’s not often I use it, but there’s loads of different options for fasting.
If it’s something your considering I would recommend that app too you.
It’s a safe way to fast and I’ve known it to help a lot of people
