Women 200lb+, Let’s Have A Jazzy June!!!

@lisakatz2 I am really sorry! You for sure have a lot to be proud of and I am in the same boat as you. was actually about 80-100 lbs overweight depending on who you ask or how you look at it. I think I'd be happy if my overall weight loss hit 80lbs lost, however that would put me at about 150 and the professionals think I should be somewhere between 124-126 which would put me at being 104 lbs overweight when I started. I am not naive enough to think I will ever get to anywhere near that number as I too, have struggled my whole adult life as well as my whole adolescent life with trying not to gain weight and or trying to lose it. We're in this together and We can be your support team!

Non weight Successes:
- Was gifted a new fitbit as an early birthday present, so now I can accurately track my exercise!
- I'm signed up for 3 more classes at my gym this week
- I unfortunately got some bad news that I failed a pretty important test for my career, however instead of canceling my gym session to wallow in self pity I went anyways an felt a bit better after sweating. I swear I'm going to trauma-bond with exercise 😂 (Also I can rewrite the test in August, it's just a bit of a financial burden to have to do so, but I'll be okay)
- While I only had 2 people book in to see me at work this week, I have 3 booked in on Sunday ALONE, so I'm hoping it will be a busier week to make up for this one
- In lieu of having to retake my test I've decided to apply to be a barista as a "summer job" which is something I've always wanted to do but never could rationalize financially, but here I am now, so hopefully they hire me!
- I've been able to maintain healthy eating habits, AND today I treated myself with Starbucks (I had enough stars for a free drink, and I figured the stress of this week warranted a little self love)
- I've spent a lot of my free time this week reading and spending quality time with my boyfriend, which over all has helped de-stress me in a fairly unfortunate time
- Lastly, I've been able to appreciate the general down-trend of my weigh-ins, rather than stressing over the ups and downs

I'll be doing one more check-in on Sunday, to wrap up June, but I'm excited to continue in July. I think the daily weigh-ins are actually really helpful for me, because ironically I can plug them into a graph and see the trend, and not let myself get too in my own head about the daily number but instead appreciate and respect the overall decrease.
It will also be interesting to see how I do in July since now that I have to retake my test, I'm financially NOT doing to hot, so I'll have to get a bit crafty with groceries next month 😅 I'll be okay, I just won't be able to buy tropical fruits any time soon LOL

I went out for Korean food yesterday with my boyfriend, and got crepes for dessert. I was still within maintenance calories, but eating out definitely left me with some bloat today so my weigh-in isn't as dramatic. That's okay! I know over the next couple days of eating food at home it will even out and continue dropping slowly but surely. I'm excited to see what July brings!

Non weight Successes:
- Logged all my meals accurately every day since starting
- Have a regular sustainable gym routine that I'm committed to go to
- Shifted my mind from "dieting" to "mindfulness" and don't sweat the small ups and downs
- Feel better day to day, with less cravings
- Enjoy talking walks around my neighborhood several times per week
- Actually excited for the process of losing weight, not just the destination

See you all in the July thread when it's posted!
