    I was pumped this morning to note I was down to 154, a one-pound loss. Alas, when I looked on my reports, I realized I was 154 the last two weeks, albeit not on Mondays. I just logged it when I thought I had lost something, I guess. But I've wobbled from155 up to 156 all week which is why I thought 154 was a new low. Was all psyched to say I'd lost a pound this week, but I do feel skinny, my clothes are beginning to really fall off, and several, not one but several, people have commented that I look skinny. So I'll take that and try for 153 this week.
    I' m doing the same thing and I'm bouncing between 154 and 153. I have never taken measurements while I was dieting but I've actually recorded my measurements twice now on MFP and even though I haven't lost anymore weight I had actually lost inches. That's encouraging.

    Monday weigh in. Still at the same weight of 117, but I can tell I'm getting leaner. My clothes are fitting me much better, and I don't have to suck in as much to hide my gut. :laugh:

    Kept mostly within my calories last week, but the foods I was eating were not the healthiest. Going to try to do healthy dinners this week and hopefully be down a pound for next week.

    Hi everyone, the weigh in for this Monday is under "weigh in, June 29". If you write your weigh in there, I'll be able to track them better for the chart then having to check all of the messages. Thanks!! And congrats on the great weigh ins!! :happy:

    :wink: Hey Melody ... it's so great to see you on this site ... way to go ... congrats on the loss. But you reported on the wrong thread ... go to the following link and do your Monday weigh in there so it will be recorded onto the web site. It makes it a lot easier for Meags23 to keep track. She's the wonderful person doing our spreadsheet for our June Starters.

    I am joining thanks to some great encouragement. I am starting over, and it is very hard to start again. Right now I am at 177 and I would love to lose 5lbs a month. I need the support and to remain focused. The past 6 months have been very hard and now I feel it is time to move on. :smile:

    I'm really fitting this in under the wire!

    Starting weight: 170
    Weight goal: 155
    Mini Goal: To feel really great in my clothes when we go on vacation at the end of August! :glasses:

    I'm a SAHM to a very, very active 2 year old, which means I fit plenty of movement into my day, but that I also often eat her leftovers, grab unhealthy snacks, or pig out when I finally get to sit down at night. I also have fibromyalgia, so the thought of any exercise after a full day makes me cringe. I do have a stationary bike and I enjoy that, and I "found" my yoga video last night and that felt pretty good! It's just a matter of sticking to it.

    I look forward to helping each other make this happen! I've heard from so many other fibro people that every "extra" pound lost is truly a load off, and I'm sure that's true for everyone! :laugh:

    We're not really having a competition, but we're all weighing in and there's a chart to keep track. It's more of a way to be accountable but not necessarily trying to beat each other. If you wanna join just weigh in on the message "JUNE STARTERS -- June 29 weigh in"
