    Hello, I am Amanda, a crazy cat lady from Michigan. This group is uplifting and supportive and I have been through many ups and downs the past year.
    Here’s to June! ☀️🌞🌅

    SW: 250
    GW: 150
    CW: 196
    June GW: 190 (?!)

    6/1: 196.0
    6/2: 197
    I was expecting this, pizza last night.
    6/3: 196.9 *walked*
    Paying the price for the pizza!
    6/4: 197
    Not having a strong start here for June. It’s okay.
    6/5: 196.0
    6/6: 196.0
    6/7: 196
    6/8: 197
    6/9: 196
    6/10: 197
    I’m having severe mood problems from the estrogen blocker I have to take due to my breast cancer diagnosis. I am anxious, paranoid, depressed and irritable. Overall just a ball of joy! I haven’t been logging food but have been paying attention. Hoping this mood thing will even itself out and I can get back to normal.
    It sounds like everyone is doing great with their goals and their NSV’s. That is something to be happy about.

    @39flavours Wow! Look at you go. Now you have some leeway for when you are on your trip. You got this in the bag! Keep it up. I also gave up the alcohol; made me want to eat.

    Hi, I'm Lisa. I am 57, 5'5", and just coming down from my highest weight ever at 212. I was only there for a fleeting moment, but a moment nonetheless. And that "moment" put me in the Obese Class II category....what a wake-up call!! I live in southern Ontario, have been married for 31 years and we have a family farm supply business that I work at very, very part time, filing invoices and stuffing monthly statements. We have two grown sons; The oldest, 29, works at the family business and lives here in town. He has a lovely girlfriend, but they haven't been dating that long, so no grand kids yet. The youngest, 27, is currently single and lives in Prague, CZ. He is coming home in July for three weeks for a family wedding!!

    My goals for June are to continue to log daily and walk often and to get my house in order for my son's extended visit!

    May weight loss: 9.8 pounds

    1. 199.6
    2. 198.6
    3. 199.2 I feel like I stepped on the scale 20 times, and got 20 different numbers! This is what I settled on.
    4. 198.6
    5. 198.2
    6. 197.6
    7. 197.6
    8. 197.4
    9. 196.4
    10. 196.2

    @Buckeyebabe7l7 Congratulations on your new smaller dress! Enjoy all your weekend festivities...it sounds like fun times!

    Thank you so much! I didn't know what size would fit but I was thinking a size 18 or a size 16. We found 1 dress I liked in a size 16 and then 2 other dresses I liked in a size 14 and a 12. That was all we could find. Tried the 16 on first and it was too big!!! I was shocked. Then I tried the 14 on and it fit perfectly and looked awesome. I am so happy with how I look in it too. I might post a picture of me in it if we get a good shot next weekend. (I hate pictures of myself) Anyway, I am excited about going to the wedding and having a great time.

    @Buckeyebabe7l7 Kicking butts and taking names. What is your actual challenge? Sounds like a wonderful weekend. Enjoy!

    It's an Apple fitness challenge. So, it tracks our progress each day for a week in the areas of step count, calories burned, and minutes of exercise. Each day there is a max number of points you are able to earn...600. I have been maxing out each day! The winner is the one who has accumulated the most points at the end of the week. It's fun because we can see what each other are doing on our watches and keep track of where we are in relation to each other. I get alerts when she's finished an exercise set...etc.

    You said,"Took the day off yesterday. First day since Mid March that I was over my calorie limit. The old me would say - "You go off your diet one day and you gain it all back; why bother"; the new me says "Let's hit the next fitbit badge today to make up for it". Woke up early - got a mile on the treadmill. Hoping I can beat my "best in a day" today and get that next badge."

    I was very much like your old self in the way I would think too and sometimes still struggle with it but I am learning to accept a day off is sometimes needed to refresh and rejuvenate myself so I can be even more motivated as I move forward. It's not a failure! It's self care so I don't burn out and give up.

    You have a great attitude and wonderful spirit!

    My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 63 years old and from the Michigan USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150’s



    Starting Weight (from May 31st): 194.8
    Goal: xxxxx (Five lb Loss): 189.8
    Actual Ending Weight: xxxxx

    **************************************ONE DAY, ONE STEP, ONE DECISION AT A TIME************************************


    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    06/09-196.0-(Trend Weight 195.7)- We’ve been invited to a Lasagna dinner by my younger daughter. It’s my son’s favorite dish. She wants me to help make it which means I’ll be doing all the work and she’ll be setting the table lol. We have to reserve a piece or two for my ex-husband (her dad) who still misses my cooking. I guess that’s what happens when you spend 27 years together and 21 years in marriage lol. Air quality here in my area of Michigan is still bad. It is forecasted to be worse today than yesterday due to the wind currents. My heart and prayers go out for those directly affected in Canada.

    06/10-196.0-(Trend Weight 195.7)- I kept my lasagna portion lighter and stayed away from the bread. It helped. Today is the big BBQ birthday party for my oldest turning 40. I haven’t been feeling well since yesterday evening (low blood pressure again) so maybe I won’t overeat today!

    Great job everyone here! I love this daily check-in. Hope it’s been a great weekend for y’all.

    Doing alright! I will fluctuate, and I don’t let it get to me. Once I’ve reached a lower weight, it will bounce back down. For, what goes up, must…

    Hi all, I'm glad to be back for another month of this great challenge, thanks so much @jm216

    I really want to ramp up my efforts this month and try and make some headway, as I've been slacking the last few months and trudging along. My birthday at the end of August is my target to get my trend weight to 140lbs, which is 6.4lbs away, so I need to FOCUS! I have a trip away for the last 9 days of this month so my challenge is to try to get to 144lbs by then, 1.6lbs in 20 days. It's going to be tough, my body can be very stubborn when it comes to weight loss, but I'm going to try and hit my goals every day.

    Jun 10 - 192.8 ☹️ Took the day off yesterday. First day since Mid March that I was over my calorie limit. The old me would say - "You go off your diet one day and you gain it all back; why bother"; the new me says "Let's hit the next fitbit badge today to make up for it". Woke up early - got a mile on the treadmill. Hoping I can beat my "best in a day" today and get that next badge.

I also rmet the 1,000 miles in 2023 milestone. I will be over halfway there today. So, I took a smile today. Somethings gotta happen! Maybe there will be a big swish tomorrow.

    I can totally relate. I am always shocked at how bad I look in pictures when on that same day when I looked in the mirror I thought I looked ok. I agree everyone else in the pictures look the same as saw them but I certainly don't. I have always wondered which version of me I see is more accurate to what others see. But that is why I loathe pictures of me. I suspect I don't ever actually see myself very accurately.

    Great posts everyone! Enjoy the birthday! Inspired by everyone’s steps and workouts, wow! This app has really helped me to plan, revise and analyze my calories and breakdown. The weekly reports are especially helpful. I definitely credit the app with my weight loss, as I am looking at my day in data format and able to stay within my goals (and if I haven’t, I know exactly the culprit).

    My name is Kelly. I am 52 and watch my grandkids 5 days a week. I watch 4 of them 5 days a weeks and 6 on Wednesdays so I keep busy with babies all week. They are all 3yrs and under. I weigh weekly.

    Goals for June:
    Walk for 30 minutes a day 6 days a week
    Log all my food daily
    Hit at least 10,000 steps 6 days a week

    SW:262
    June SW:192
    June GW:182
    UGW:150

    I hit all my goals for May so I am very pleased with my progress for last month. Now on to June!

    @deepwoodslady I can relate too. I tried to take a picture for a new profile picture and trashed them all.
