Sorry I have been MIA the last couple of days. I’ve started a spiral down and felt toxic. I’ve gotten out of control and the scales will show it. I’ve hardly tracked, my exercise has gone by the wayside, and habits have started back. But then realized, THIS is where I need to be. So I’m doing my best to shake it off and to regroup to get back on track. So hopefully I can muster up some good mojo by reading all your posts.

@jwall309~ You’re right. One “blip” in the entire scheme of it all. Thanks, I needed to hear that to help pull me out and put a proper perspective on it. You have got the right mindset for this process. Your posts help. Thanks for sharing. And you are still losing. Maybe not as fast, but I don’t recall you gaining (like me) on any week to have to work extra hard to get it back off. You have a great approach. I look forward to your July to see how you tackle it.

@perla4686~ Good for you STOPPING yourself. Sometimes that is the hardest part. Moderation, and not overindulgence. Thank you for sharing. As far as weigh-in… stay the same is better than a gain. And overall for the month, you had a loss. Which I hope you find as a solid stepping stone to next month’s start.


@ajaia2001~ You’re exercise days are intense. A day off is alright. As a working mom, I bet you rarely get a “day off.” That’s why you inspire me. You give yourself “me” time for exercise. Awesome!! And all that is paying off. Great weekly loss and 8.3# for the month. Wooohooooo!!

@lovethyneighbor ~ Awesome loss! And an overall loss for the month, too! Exciting!!

@red1185 ~ I’m right there with you. It’s a slippery slope sometimes. But that’s why we have signed up for this challenge. To be accountable, receive support, and offer encouragement. So let’s pull ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and do this!

@skullsandskeletons ~ You’re doing great. Only over 58 calories on the one day and back on track the next. That’s the way!

@germaine_yee ~ you still had an overall loss for the month!

Please continue to post your daily posts for Saturday and any last weigh-ins for June week #4, in this thread. June ends today June 29th.


I believe Ashley our Biggest Loser moderator posted this link, but just in case...... The July challenge starts on Sunday, June 30th. Please post your daily posts for Sunday and weigh-ins starting on Sunday for July week #1 at this link below.

One thing I did well: I did show an overall weight loss for this June challenge. I also TRIED to monitor what I ate, and make smart decisions
One thing I need to work on: I did not do a lot of exercising this week. I only clocked 2 exercise days instead of my usual 4-5.

I’m very frustrated with myself.

lost 1.4
I am housing and feeding 16 people this month and have managed not to gain, although I haven't lost. I have managed not to overeat or to eat flour and sugar. I haven't done IF which I think is why I am just maintaining. I still have 20lbs to lose but I can't see it happening while I have guests. I am proud of myself for doing as well as I have when it the past I would have surrendered and thrown in the towel. I also walking about 5 miles a day and swimming 2, so that's not too bad. I just wish I could get in bed before 1 am!

Last daily post for June:
Tracked: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: no

See you all tomorrow for the July challenge!

I've fallen off the wagon again, which is always do after s disappointing weigh-in. Ugh...why do I do this to myself?

I don't know. I've fallen and it's taking me several days to get back up. But I try not to beat myself up. Focus on the positive of getting up every day and starting fresh. And tracking!! No matter what. It will click again, soon.

Hi.
Thanks for the reminder.
Week 4 Check in on Friday
Name Fivepts
PW 144.1
CW 143.6
Loss: .5

Please let me know if you have something different. Here's in hope that we are on the same page.... your Friday weigh-in is Friday's, so this CW will be for week #3. Week #4 starts Sunday 6/24/19.
For you @Fivepts this is what shows posted in the spreadsheet:
SW: 144.1
WK1: 143.7
WK2: 143.7
WK3: 143.6

So yes, overall for the June contest you have lost .5lbs. Congrats! One more week left in June work hard and keep losing! Please weigh-in and post on Friday. Thanks! You ARE losing!

@Fivepts - It appears I went back once already to verify the posts you had to that I could make sure I posted your weigh-ins correctly and that we matched.

I went back again and found those posts so you can see my dilemma in verifying current weigh-ins from week to week w/ the previous weights from post to post. I'm not sure how you are keeping track.

I can only post in the spreadsheet the numbers you put as current weight and verify the previous weight based on the previous post. So this is what I have for June(below). I know you have a house full and there is alot going on. But I wanted you to be able to see why I posted what I did in the official spreadsheet. If there is anything I can do for July to help with the process, please let me know.

Creeping, but not back sliding. I have been exercising regularly. My calories have been not so good, so I know why I'm stilling creeping. Diet is 80%, so I'm just doing 20% with exercising alone. I'm not giving up though. See you all in July!

@Toyota100 ~ technically, June 30 is the first week of July's contest. So.. Welcome to July!! I'm going to post this in the July thread for you so we don't lose it when this thread closes. Thanks!! Good news - bad news ......I didn't see a weigh-in post for last Sunday, June 23 as in the spreadsheet your PW is recorded as 221.0 So this will start your July out with a bigger loss.
