    June starting weight - 149.6
    June goal -144.6
    Ultimate goal - 135.0

    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.

    📌 1st - 149.6 (Trend Weight 150.3)
    2nd - 149.3 (Trend Weight 150.2)
    4th - 149.8 (Trend Weight 150.1)
    📌 7th - 151.6 (Trend Weight 150.4)
    ⏩ 10th - 150.4 😏
    11th - 149.6 (Trend Weight 150.4)
    📌 14th - 149.0 (Trend Weight 150.1)

    Today's Thoughts: I'm feeling totally back on track and in the groove. Today is a new low since this effort began! I've lost 2 weeks of June recovering from the slip. Getting to the June goal may not be a reasonable expectation - but if I stay focused, I can meet or beat(!) May's loss. The Trend Weight graph is looking a bit wonky (projected weight), but it will take a sustained effort to pull it back in the right direction.

    We've got a Father's Day cookout on Sunday. As I mentioned, I'm hosting & in control of the menu. I've got that planned out in a way that pleases everyone, and keeps me on track without feeling deprived. Next week, I have a friend in town on business and we are planning to get together for dinner. Eating out is always a challenge, but I have time to plan around it, without sabotaging my progress. Reminder to self: Be Mindful.

    As we've hit the midpoint of the month, congrats to those making progress, and "hang in there" if you're facing challenges.

    June Game Plan & Goals:
    • Continue weekly meal planning
    • Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500 Back on track with 300-500 deficit
    • No calorie intake after 8pm
    • Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 - 7 day average 5091 YES!
    • Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 - 7 day average 26
    • Hit strength building exercise goal of 6 days, then increase to 7 - 7 day average 5

    Also, apparently I have a woo follower. Not sure what that's about but whatever.

    Ok. It might be me (I'd have to scroll back and look). I've been trying not to hit it because someone else mentioned it last month. So what is woo? I assume it is not "woo hoo" as in Way to Go!

    In MFP forums, woo is generally meant that you disagree with what someone has posted. Either false statements or things not backed by science.

    ETA: I doubt it is you. Someone has wooed nearly every post of mine in this thread and also in May's thread.

    Well, it could be me too. I also interpret "woo" as "woo-hoo!", not "whoa!". Haha, could be generational, LisaW57 and I are similar in age. I do tend to use it when I see that someone is making progress, as in "yahoo". I definitely don't mean it as disagreeing, more like encouragement and congratulations.

    There is a whole thread dedicated to this
    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10737777/woo-does-not-mean-woo-hoo

    Don't take it to mean anything bad as lots of people (including me) were confused about it. The official MFP line is it means Boo/Bad.

    Thank you so much and I do get that people tend to worry and out of concern question how I do things on this journey. I've heard so many opinions on so many things I’ve tried during my entire life lol. I think where I got the most concern was when I decided on doing my gastric bypass surgery. I’m used to people questioning me now. I have no regrets so far on my journey. I’ve tried it all, some methods have been successful and others crashed and burned. Some have been unhealthy and others have been a blessing. I’ve learned along the way and now apply the methods that have helped me and are healthy. Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging message ❤️
