@AlexandraFindsHerself1971 isn’t it a great feeling being able to do things more easily than before?
@uyister hope your stress lessens soon!
@goal06082021 congrats on your loose pants and meeting your June goal!
@sargemarcori congrats on reaching your initial June goal!
@changeforeverlj welcome back! I live in PA, USA and stopped wearing my mask at work the 1st week of June. It is such a freeing feeling! I can wear lip gloss and bigger earrings again.
Hope everyone is having a good week! 🙂3 -

I didn’t make my (pretty aggressive) June goal, but this was a good transition month for me to go from the first four months of pretty fast weight loss to the slightly slower reality of what I’m calling Phase 2. I’m determined to make to UG, no matter how long it takes - and I still lost 6lbs this month, which is pretty great!
See you guys in July!6 -
Well, the scale didnt move much in June - only 4 lbs - but I have to remind myself that I'm eating well, sticking to my calorie limits, and recording everything. And that, along with 4 lbs, really is something. Plus the month has been rough and I've stuck with this and not given in to eating anything I could grab so should consider it a success.
I still need to move more and drink more water (ick), but I'm in a good, sustainable pattern food-wise, so I will celebrate this!8 -
@NEhandweaver 4 lbs in a month is excellent progress, that's a pound per week. You should not be trying to lose faster - at best you will burn out and regain, at worst you could do permanent damage to your body. You did great this month, and it sounds like you're on track to bid adieu to another 4 lbs in July. You can do it!5

Happy with this month. Back to work yesterday, only teaching one course for the remainder of the semester .
Had a good break. Got my second shot on Monday so fully vaccinated
Plan to keep up the things that are working for me including;
Walking
Logging everything
Keep connected to our community daily
Water
Be positive
Biggest difference I see happening
My diet mindset is shifting from diet to healthy lifestyle
Let go of stuff I have little control over
Have reconnected with a friend from 30 years ago that has been so much fun
Realize I have missed connecting with people so much due to the Pandemic
Goal for July 195
Celebrating with you all in your victories whatever they may be.This journey isnt easy but so important 5 -

Didn’t meet my monthly goal but still lost 1.5 lbs so that’s good. I guess eating out 3 times in my birthday week really threw me off. I still haven’t gotten back to where I was before gaining 3 lbs that week. Looking forward to July!🙂5 -

Using today's as the official weigh in today. I did see 217 yesterday but wanted the last day of the month. Weight just melted off the last week. Not too sure on the differences but taking it and running with it.
@changeforeverlj I'm in Ohio, USA. We've been opening up rather fully since the beginning of the month. Masks are mostly optional. At first I was still wearing one and the last week I've slowly opted to not. I'm vaccinated and keep seeing the cases go down so I was getting more comfortable and very quickly was forgetting. The state has had large pushes to get folks vaccinated; including having a lottery for 5 adults to win 1 million and 5 students to win college scholarships. We're a fairly political state so I don't think the lottery swayed as many people as desired; but they were trying everything within their capabilities to push those at are more in the middle. I think we'll end up being 50% vaccinated. I think the last I saw was at 48%. Some offices have been open for a while, mine goes back completely next month.6 -

Started this month at 209.6. I knew this would be a rough month because of all the company we have had from out of state. Still, very pleased with overall average of -4lbs per month. Found out 2 weeks ago that is am going to have knee replacement surgery August 20 so getting my walks in is almost nil. I am still shooting to be in Onederland by that date. Everyone is doing great this month! See you all in July!5 -

I am very excited to have completed June below by goal. I did a fantastic job staying within my calorie goal every day this month and keeping up with my weekday morning walks. My office has just posted the return to work plan so I will be starting to go in 2x per week. This will shorten my morning walk on those days but I think I can increase NEAT calories by walking around more while in the office.
I look forward to seeing everyone on the July post. Keep up the great work!6 -
I didn't get a chance to update on Sunday. We had a very busy weekend. I maintained my weight from last week. I stepped on the scale this morning and to my surprise I am ending June lower than I expected.

All my new equipment that I bought during Prime Day came. I have been playing around with it and love everything. I set up a new exercise routine that I started this month. My goal for July is to continue with my new routine. My daughter is on summer vacation now. She is 6. Every morning she asks if she can join me for my workout then sits and draws while I bike. She watches and imitates me when I do the rest of my routine. It is really adorable. I love that she wants to join me. I am looking forward to a great July!
Welcome to all the new members!
@itisjessdarling Congratulations on Onderland. I am so happy for you!!!
@RebekahAnn88 Welcome. I send you a friend request.
@goal06082021 I love the advice you always give to members of the group. Even though you are speaking to others, I always read it. You are always very insightful. Thank you.
@girlinkaz It sounds like you had a great vacation. Congrats on your NSV and posting a bathing suit picture on social media. I am happy for you!
@VickyEltonGreen I don't have any recipes for salad dressing but I love squeezing a lemon or lime over my salads instead of using salad dressing. It's so delicious.
@Skeebee If it makes you feel better I am a returning MFPer too. I am heavier now than my lowest MFP weigh. I try not to get too hung up on that because I know I am putting in the work. Eventually I will get back there. I have confidence that you will to. Welcome back!
@abbydking218 I am not sure if anyone answered this for you yet. Yes, there will be a group for July. Just look for the July post.
@changeforeverlj Happy 50th!

OK, I waited an extra day to check in to make it to the last day of the month.
Here we go:
Age 59
Height 5'6.5"
SW: 278 (March 2021)
CW: 247.5 (30# GONE!)
GW for June: Below 240
FGW: 150
6/1: 247.5 lbs
6/8: 246.7 lbs (-0.8)
6/15: 242.5 lbs (-4.2!)
6/22: 243.5 lbs (+1.0)
6/30: 241.3 (-2.2)
Total month loss: 6.2 pounds
Total loss so far: 36.7 pounds
So I missed goal by 1.3 pounds.
But I'm not surprised. I realized I was getting a little burnt out after nearly 4 months of SOLID dieting, and gave myself a little slack the 2nd part of the month. I'm back on plan, as the last week shows, and ready to go for the next month.
What I learned this month: That I can take a few days above ultimate calorie goal and still lose. I can splurge but I don't have to go "hog wild."
Ready for July!
P.S. If anyone has any sure-fire Poison Ivy remedies they can share PLEASE DO! I'm on day 5 and it still itches like HE11. My dog ran thru poison ivy without my noticing and I unknowingly got the oil all over me from her coat when I picked her up. The dog is fine, but I have it all over stomach, arms, etc. It SUCKS!4 -
I’m still getting used to this but for June I started on the 6th at 280 and I’m finishing June at 272. See you all in July 😃8

Starting to feel a bit more human than I was on Saturday although I definitely went overboard with my gardening this week my back and the back of my thighs are still sore but I'm hoping after burning those calories and my body starting to get back to some kind of normality that I might see a drop soon, cause I'm pretty sure that my muscles are repairing themselves and holding extra fluid just now hence the pain. Didn't meet this months target, missed it by 2lbs but hopefully it won't be long till I get there. Looking forward to joining all you ladies again for July.

Love the idea of using app metals as NSV. I’m off to find myself walking challenge, just the one challenge though! 😌0 -
@JNettie73 you're too kind! I was just reading back over the thread and was reminded about that stray cat you took in way back at the start of the month - whatever ended up happening with her, surely she's had her kittens by now? Were you able to get her spayed?0
