Not really comfortable posting my weight here but I lost 8lbs in June. I rode my bike every day. A major milestone is that I went from BMI 42 morbidly obese to Obese

Another month has ended. If you’ve lost ounces, you’re doing GREAT!! No such thing as a little loss. Just exercising is a win for living healthier❣️

End of June weigh in

Starting weight: 307 (4/8/2019) Total loss to date is 120.8 lbs.
CW: 6/30 186.2
June GW: 185 (close)
GW: 160 (By 6/1/2021)

Total loss for June is 3.2 lbs. Not great but not bad 🤷🏽‍♀️

See you all on the July thread❣️

I am indeed finding muscles that I didn't know I had... but I am also finding capacity to do physical work and endurance that I didn't have. I stopped painting today because the roller rubbed a blister on my hand... not because I was too tired to keep going. I worked another two hours taping plastic down over the nice wood flooring in the halls and bedrooms before I got tired. I am LOVING this new ability to work. I know it's due to the 35 pounds I've lost, and I look forward to getting moved and getting back to work losing weight.

Another victory. I know that if I have homemade cookies in the freezer, I can't stay out of them. And yep, over the course of the week, I ate the entire dozen that was in there. But I ate them two cookies at a time as dessert over six days. Which is way more balanced eating than, you know, sitting down with the dozen and just eating them one after another. So I really have changed, and I'm delighted and grateful for that.

I've missed my crew on here. June turned out to be a bad brain month. Everything felt wrong. Everything seemed overwhelming. I didn't want to move. Didn't care about what I ate. I am starting to feel better and my bosses have recommended a vacation. Even if it is driving to the beach and dipping my toes in the water for a few minutes. Let's see if that works.

Beaches really helps me too!

Great progress!

SW (09/08/2019): 239.2 lbs
June SW (6/1/20): 159.6 lbs
6/7/2020: 169.2 lbs
6/14/2020: 165.8 lbs
6/21/2020: 162.2 lbs

June GW: 155 lbs
GW: 150 lbs (then reconsider)

Goals for June
• Running: I started increasing my running distance again. I’m amazed that I no longer really think a six mile run is a big deal. My last two long runs have been 8.5 miles each.
• Water: Keep drinking water, at least 128 ounces a day – I met this most likely every day. I don’t really have a problem meeting this goal, the days I don’t meet it are really the exception, not the rule.
• Skin: Really slacked off this one lately. And I do have to keep saying it…ugh. The extra skin!

The first month I’ve had a gain in a year. And not a small one, seven pounds! Once I had the dental issue and some of the other problems, getting the scale under control was like herding cats in a closet or something equally difficult. There are a lot of factors at play here. I’m not sure 166.2 this morning was a real number, but I know I could not have been close to 160. I’ve been waiting most mornings to weigh, and I had to reset. Hopefully I’ll be down tomorrow morning.

I did lose 3” all around in terms of measurements. That’s what really matters, right? Still it will be nice to be on track again.

I’ll get my last stitches removed this Friday. And my gym is open, hopefully for good. I may not lose next month, either. Now that the gym is open, I want to start lifting again.

I think not having goals to work toward is probably what got me this past month. I am going to be setting some goals for myself for next month. No more giving myself passes!

I’ll keep reminding myself that at least I’m nearly half the size I once was.

I’ll see everyone over on the July thread!

Good morning everyone. Closing out June at 189.4, for a 2.6 lb gain for the month. It does not seem like a big number but I do feel changes in my body and would like to get that fit feeling back. Ready for July!!!

But, before I go -

@speyerj Congratulations on reaching maintenance! You have been such an inspiration and support for me during my journey. I appreciate you sharing your wisdom with everyone and am so excited for you. You have really transformed over the past year; not just by losing weight but by becoming an incredible athlete!

@mmdeveau You are doing great. I'm excited for you to resume at the gym and catch up with the guy you were interested in. Use the past few months as a conversation starter and say you've missed seeing him!

@sweetirish sending you the best wishes for your test result.

@Tarzan37 sending you best wishes for your cat. I hope the tumors are treatable and am glad you have stuck with everything over a hard month.

@cesse47 you have have had a rough few months as well; what an accomplishment to maintain through all of that for the month!!

Goodbye June!!!

mmdeveau · July 2020

@aliciap0116 - Glad to see you back! Thanks for the support! How sweet of you to remember the gym guy! He wasn't there yesterday morning. However, it is the holiday week and many people in this area are probably down at the shore this week. Also, the gym did not send out notification they'd be reopening. It would be an exaggeration to say there were more than 25 people at the gym yesterday morning, and prior to the quarantine closing every treadmill would be in use, and almost each of the other cardio machine types would also be occupied.

Hopefully he hasn't given up!

It was nice to see some of the regular familiar faces at the gym in any case. I'm hoping to see more of them back at it, for their own sakes.

@aliciap0116 Thank you.

Unfortunately, my cat has a very aggressive form of this cancer and to try to treat it would take surgery followed by radiation treatments for six weeks. To the tune of 8-10k with no guarantee they would work. He's only 11 and this cancer is rare in cats.

I have medications to help keep him comfortable and hopefully will have a few months left with him. It is tough. Most cats live well into their teens or even early 20's. The vet said he just drew the short straw unfortunately. He is the sweetest boy.
