Are you over 200pds, let's diet together

@gcreardon: Moving is giving us a chance to do that. I don't have a lot of that in my clothing, though, because I already purged 90% of it because I was losing weight and it didn't fit.

Also, I now know my weight loss pattern, and it's a downward staircase. Sudden loss of 3-5 pounds over 2-3 days, then two to three weeks at a lower weight, then down again, plateau again. So I can be pretty patient through a plateau.

June starting weight- 226.6
June goal weight- 219

6/3- 225.8
6/10- 222.6

SW 210
LW 195.5
CW 195
8 pounds is crazy and tv worthy

Jan starting weight: 239
Jan ending weight: 228.5
Feb ending weight: 219.6
March ending weight: 215.1
April ending weight: 205.2
May ending weight: 196.7

June 4: 194.6
June 11: 195.5

Whew. It's been a very busy work week for me, and I think it will continue that way. I haven't really taken the time to plan meals well or cook much, so I've been getting take-out more than usual. Plus I celebrated my 49th birthday on Monday which involved a good bit of sugar and fat. The scale actually read 193 over the weekend, but today was back to 195.5. I'm not sure that I will be getting back to my very best healthy behaviors right away, but I am giving myself a break during this busy work time. I'll do the best I can without losing my mind.

@gcreardon , thanks and congratulations to you on your liaison position! I'm giving myself a "grace period" for my whole birthday week and then recommitting to healthier eating on Monday! I've at least managed to keep up with some kind of workout schedule! I rediscovered Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home videos, so that change of pace has renewed my motivation for working out a bit.

I am going to stop questioning my body and let it say it lost whatever it wants. Guess it was super tired of the extra weight and is kicking it to the curb.

This past week was a rollercoaster of emotions. In addition to the good news (and my mom's pet sitting client, our U.S. House Rep, saying she would speak to me anytime about gun reform and inviting me to her Washington office), I found out my ankle ligaments are as lax as before. I'm hyper flexible, so he wasn't surprised. Guess I'll just have ankle issues forever! One more reason to lose the weight!

Amazing losses so far in June!

We put it on one pound at a time, we can take it off one pound at a time! Slow and steady wins the race, and I bet by now you're seeing some changes!

Hello all, I tried joining you all earlier this year, but quarantine hit and it didn't help my weight or mental state. I have really been struggling. Things are slowly getting back to normal and I am mentally doing better, but now I have even more weight to lose. Yesterday was day 1 (again) and it went ok. I need accountability and support though. I am looking forward to getting to know you all.

SW (6/15/20): 223.5
GW: under 200
UGW: 160

TOM starts tomorrow. Going to try to get through without falling off the bandwagon.
