OSW: 242 lbs (Jan '17)MFP; Heaviest 262 (2009) before MFP
June starting weight: 199.8
June goal weight: 184--goal met!!
Ultimate Goal Weight: 160--Anything!

"It's the final countdown...dun dun-dunna dun-dun dun!" (Europe 80s band) Remember that song? lol

Anyway, God is too good!!! June has been just as good! I made some of the biggest landslide whoosh moments since I started this journey, and now, I can't believe I'm down to my final 10 pounds before I start the maintenance process. Ahhhhhh! Just think earlier this month was just 205.0 and now I'm......

6/1: 199.8 (Indulged way too much in May)
6/3: 205.0 (Lymphedema flare-ups/carbs/water weight)
***6/3th-7th: Broth/Tea Detox/Nutrient Fast***
6/8th: 188.8 Yay!!
6/15: 183.6 Amen!!
6/22: 186.0 TOM
6/29: 179.8 woooosh!!!! Amen! Praise the Lord!! I'm in the 170s!!!

I can't believe I'm in the vanity weight-loss stage!! This is when it get super real because you they say the last 10 lbs are the hardest to lose. Well, I'm up for the challenge. My sister's birthday is July 1st, I will celebrate and enjoy myself just that day only--but I'm going to get back on track the next day! I've come too far to mess this momentum up! I lost 20+ lbs in one month! Albeit a lot of it was due to edema fluid/weight but, still, it's a major loss and most importantly, I feel great!!

Onward to July!!
All glory to Jesus Christ!!

End of Month Thoughts: Did not make my June goal, but ended the month with a net loss and a new low. I'll take it - I'm firmly in the 140's, despite a family greet together and a night out with friends!

My average steps have slacked off, as has my strength training routine - but I've had some labor intensive projects going on. They count even when I don't log them. 😏

I have noticed a weight spike immediately following one of those heavy project days. Guessing it's some sort of fluid response to the stress on my body. But I've also noticed I skip the actual exercise routine and don't hawk the steps that day and the day after, which may nite be helping.

My not consuming calories after 8pm has me on a 12 hour IF schedule. We've had a couple of late dinners on project days, so I need to pay closer attention to that as well. I think I will extend my IF 2 hours, to 8pm to 10am, and see if that makes a difference.

To everyone who hit goal - and everyone who hung on there - congrats! See you on the July challenge!

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 2852
Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 - 7 day average 43
Hit strength building exercise goal of 6 days, then increase to 7 - 7 day average 3

June Progress:

dawnbgethealthy · June 2019

Oct 27.18 joined MFP Start weight 191
June goal 158.3

June loss - 0.7 - Still not into the 150s
May loss - 1.8 - Really wanted to get into the 150s. Not yet.
April loss - 7.7 - Maybe all of that calorie burn from February and March finally showed up.
March total: loss 1.7 lbs - This is all that I lost with a deficit of 18,713 calories
February total calories burned (not the deficit) - 20,350 - loss 1.4 lbs

June 01 - 163.3
June 02 - 163.0
June 04 - 163.2
June 05 - 163.1
June 07 - 163.4
June 08 - 162.8
June 09 - 164.1 - Didn't get to eat until extremely late last night. Hopefully the number is better tomorrow.
June 10 - 165.0 - Not sure why I am up today.
June 11 - 162.9 - Glad that spike is over, hopefully back on the losing track
June 12 - 161.5 - I didn't make the best choices last night, so I expect this might catch up with me.
June 13 - 162.2
June 14 - 161.4
June 15 - 162.3 - Halfway through the month. Had hoped for more of a loss, but will keep trying.
June 16 - 161.8 - Really fluctuating this month.
June 17 - 163.2 - Argh. Had way more water yesterday than usual.
June 18 - 162.9
June 19 - 160.3 - I had a hard time getting enough water in the last few days. If it is not just water loss then woo-hoo!
June 20 - 161.0 - 161 is my 30 pound loss mark
June 21 - 160.9
June 22 - 162.2
June 23 - 163.0 - 7 days to get this number down
June 24 - 162.5
June 25 - 162.1
June 26 - 160.6 - I was short on water yesterday, this might account for a drop in weight
June 27 - 161.0 - I really hope that it doesn't take me 5 months to lose the next 10 pounds!
June 28 - 162.1 - I had a nice rib feed last night. I used to have ribs once a week, then once a month, now this was the first time I have had them in 5 months. It might tip the scale for a few days, but I got a little tired of depriving myself all of the time and still barely losing any weight. I don't regret this. Nor can I eat only 1 rib for 270 calories, I had 6 ribs plus accompaniments. I suppose that I will have to stay away from them again for a long while.
June 29 - 162.4 - Residual still from the rib dinner, I am sure that tomorrow's weigh in will be better - my body is always slow to catch up. I am glad that there is one more day in the month to establish the end of month number.
June 30 - 162.6 - Well, I didn't end out the month with a bang or a whoosh for weight loss. I had ribs dinner again last night! Albeit just half of what I had on the 27th. Lol, it means there is half left! I got close to the 150s this month, maybe July, better be : - )

June Running loss/gain - loss 0.7 lbs

dawnbgethealthy · June 2019

@LisaW57
For those that do the 16:8 IF, I think that it is the other way around, 8 is the eating window and 16 is the fasting window. (8 of the fast should be easy, sleep time)

May starting weight - 152
May goal - 148
Ultimate goal - 140

3rd - 152

10th - 153
Work conference/mini vacation in San Diego last week. Ate amazing fresh seafood everyday. Scale was up 3lbs when I returned, so I’m okay with 1lb up. It was TOTALLY worth it.
More likely than fat gained from my trip, I think it’s normal fluctuation. Seems I’m usually up week 2, TOM comes week 3 and I lose mostly at end of week 4. I’ll have to watch the trend and see if that’s what happens again this month.

17th - 151.8

Had a bit of diet fatigue this week. Probably from travel and TOM. Ate closer to maintenance, but nothing out of my normal routine, just a bit more here and there.

21st - 150.2

28th - 149.4
I actually danced around the bathroom this morning! It’s been around three years since I’ve seen the 140s!

30th - 148.8
35lbs GONE!!
Woosh at the end of the month trend continues! It’s slowing down now that I’m toward the last 10 lbs of goal.

Loss for June: -3.2 lbs/2.75”

I DON’T WANT THE WORLD TO CHANGE MY SMILE – I WANT MY SMILE TO CHANGE THE WORLD!!!!

I am weighing in on the First and the Last day of each month for a full monthly account.

MY STATS:
Highest weight ever (2014/2015): 253
Original starting weight for this current journey : (1-11-2018) 235.0
June starting weight – 195.3
June goal - 189.3
June Actual End Weight: TBD

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……
June 30 – …..196.0 ….. Higher than my starting weight but trending back down from a mid-month gain. Here I come July, fierce & ferocious!

Final Challenge Thoughts: I have lost 2.6 lbs since mid June. This was a month of getting back on track after holidays & travel. I have worked on fat adaption & getting into ketosis. Upping my protein & fiber has been a huge goal that I have accomplished. There is much work to still be done on portion control & resistance to sweets, but I am up for the challenge. See you all in July!

Celebrate that one pound loss! That's about a quarter pound a week! It could be worse. You could be UP a pound. Or three (like me).

Happy Sunday!

I missed checking in last week. Finishing the month with a gain. Been through some stress the last couple of weeks, but the issue is resolved, husband left his job and starts another this coming week, so it's all good. Hopefully HE will have less stress going forward. He has an exciting opportunity before him.

Hoping I can stay below 200. Not going lie, I am frustrated and discouraged. I have been here before. I lose to this point and I am stuck. I have only lost 5 pounds in the last 12 months.

But l am still here. See you in the July thread.

Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.

Lowest since 1991: 194.4 November 25, 2018, post gallbladder surgery.

Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233.

Goal: 180 in however long it takes. And it's taking a LOT longer than I thought it would!

Weekly Averages:

May 27-June 2: 197.7
June 3 - June 9: 197.3
June 10 - June 16: 197.9
June 17 -June 23: 197.8

Thanks so much Jenn for your support. I just had to get out of my comfort zone. I asked myself, "How bad do you want this? Enough that I just had to let go of few habits in order to finally see results. Believe me, Jenn it's worth it! Hang in there.

Lol I got so close. I think I was just a little sloppy with my eating this month in general. I need to tighten up my game.
July is a planned maintenance month with a relaxed vacation mid month. If I can clean up and focus before and after I’d like to get to 150 this month.
