    Today's Thoughts: Staying calm. I've been stuck at my desk the last couple days and my body seems to be fighting something. Gastro. Inflammation. Stress. Settling into the 140's. I don't know. I'm going to practice not over thinking it. I'm down. I'm keeping it down. I seem to know what I'm doing. And, I have a good shot at hitting a new low heading into July. If not, if it bobbles again, it's 3 10th's of a pound away. I've got this.

    June Game Plan & Goals:
    • Continue weekly meal planning
    • Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500 This is very reasonable for me
    • No calorie intake after 8pm
    • Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 - 7 day average 4294
    • Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 - 7 day average 88
    • Hit strength building exercise goal of 6 days, then increase to 7 - 7 day average 3

It might tip the scale for a few days, but I got a little tired of depriving myself all of the time and barely losing any weight. I don't regret this. Nor can I eat only 1 rib for 270 calories, I had 6 plus accompaniments. I suppose that I will have to stay away from them again for a long while.

    Geez Tia, maybe that is the weight that you are supposed to be at, you have stayed right around that number for many months.
    75 pounds is a significant weight loss.

    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.

    📌 28th - 149.2 (Trend Weight 149.5) << corrected
    📌 30th -

    Today's Thoughts: Geeze. I thought yesterday was Friday. And I typo'ed the weigh in. I'm doing ok, and I'm gradually getting the early & late month spikes down. This is going much slower than I anticipated, but I am making steady progress. I tend to have to fight with myself at the end of the month when I'm not at my 5 lb goal. I keep telling myself that it's a Big Audacious Goal, and that baby steps count. I'm getting there. And the slow progress is setting me up for long term maintenance. I know what I need to do, and the lifestyle changes that are necessary to not have to continually focus on weight loss and just concentrate on maintaining healthy.

    June Game Plan & Goals:
    • Continue weekly meal planning
    • Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500 This is very reasonable for me
    • No calorie intake after 8pm
    • Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 - 7 day average 3869
    • Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 - 7 day average 88
    • Hit strength building exercise goal of 6 days, then increase to 7 - 7 day average 3

    I'm at the 6-month point, and it's encouraging to look at the overall progress:

    @mari_moulin - great job! Sorry to hear about the impending surgery - and the pool 😥 So you said you eat back some of your exercise calories? I don't usually, and my calorie limit is 1200 as well - is there a benefit to doing so? And can you remind what your IF schedule is? Mine is 8pm-8am and I'm ready to extend it.

    Why I know I’m very bummed about it all. So yea I decided instead of eating my maintenance calories which I found to be way too much and honestly I think I was using it as an excuse to go overboard, I thought that instead I would stay at 1200 and eat some of my workout calories back which as worked well. I always say if you want to eat a bit more work out a bit more and all is good. It worked well for me this week. Let’s see if I can continue to have this success next month. My current IF is 16:8 and my eating window is between 12 and 8pm. Occasionally I will move that depending on certain special occasions. It on a regular day this is what it is.

    Thanks @mari_moulin That makes sense. I forgot you're on maintenance. I think I'm going to stick to not consuming my exercise calories and move my eating window to 10am - 8pm and see if I can boost the loss rate

    Weight/Comment:
    …..195.3…..Starting Weight
    June 01 –     …..195.3…..
    June 08 – …..194.5….. On my way to a better me!
    June 15 – …..198.6….. After two days of car travel & restaurants. UGG.
    June 22 – …..197.4 ….. Back home & back on track. I’m working on fat adaption.
    June 29 – …..196.8 ….. I was hoping to AT LEAST get back to my starting weight but that’s pretty impossible right now. Lucky for me I don’t give up. I will work hard today to end even better tomorrow, even though it won’t be goal it will still be success! One day at a time……
