congratulations am change x precious times x I've had a few pass days 4 I think will go back to each June day and add my passes and read up on everyone's progress x been struggling and trying to work out how can I make this easier and concluded I would create a few set meals to eat regular instead of 'what do I fancy?' and…

ah my first pass day x I exercised and tracked and counted but went over my limit by 4 biscuits x how about : best advice for recovering quickly after a pass day??? I like the other questions suggested too; there is aoooo much we can learn from each other x

hi x 3xyes for me x another successfil day x why did i join? my first diet was age 11 i am 45 now. i got heavier and heavier via the restrict binge cycle and got to about 300lbs then in my late 30s I found the 80s book "diets make you fat' which was devastating and a release at the same time. I gave up all hope then for a…

Hi there x Thank you to Craig and Jan who have reassured me with their comments on my post last night. Another successful day 3xyes for exercising tracking and being under limit x

looks like we're all making a great job of June so far x my less obsessive less perfectionist behaviour this month feels better and I still find I have achieved as well by the end of the day x walking for exercise okay for now. tracked every bite of food and am under by 300 or so - which i need to watch as I.worked out…

have a wonderful time Rick x I have tracked everything, come in just under my limit and have exercised - walking - nice and achievable for now x 3X yes. feeling calm and in control......taking it very steady this month x hope everyone is well x

lovely photo Rick you must be very proud congats x good day today exercised, tracked, and am under calorie limit. pleased but not as emotionally intense about challenge as I was this time last month x I'm focused but it's a looser fit if you know what I mean, not as all encompassing not as perfectionist x let's see how it…

Hi there x well done winners circle folk - I am starting to appreciate how much commitment and focus it takes to get there. I'm going to have another try this month. A nice beach walk for my exercise x i tacked all my calories and stayed under my limit x 3 times yes for me today x

congrats to everyone who made the winners circle x see you in June x

hi there another pass day today. thank you for the support the other day I did read comments gratefully I just don't know how to lift up the user names to add them in my mesage Have joined for June and not the easiest start as we are off to the beach for the day - good opp for exercise though x congrats on your sons…

just saying hi x I went seriously off the rails for about a week and am just getting back on having tracked today and yesterday. I just thought I would be able to stick to this challenge no problem and now I wonder if I ever will - it's all in the mindset isn't it. I am trying to work out what I can learn from recent…

Hi there x Pass day number 2. decision made this morning no particular rationale just needed a break maybe x am hoping it's not the beginning of the end. need to plan some of my food tonight ready to pick back up tommorow. I supposed I just wanted the weight to 'drop off' but it doeant does it it's going to be a long haul…

hey there x I've enjoyed reading the thread this evening x 3xyes for me 3 walks with my daughter today so this challenge is good for her; the more physical activity we do together (shes 7) the more she wants to do she's loving it - what a NSV!! 3 x yes today but to be honest I'm eating some rubbish food even though am…

morning all x I've got more energy for sure and clothes feel better on even after only 7lb lost. I also feel that I am treating myself well, better. I have a better sense of self esteem because I am treating myself as someone worth looking after, worth investing time and effort in, giving myself something as opposed to…

hi there x 3x yes for me today. went for a walk round town park this evening x nice sunny weather x

Hi there x 3xyes today.

Hi all x 3xyes today but it was a close call totally mismanaged my food and have left myself poorly fed today. nearly left the path but held on through sheer frustration. 20 mins step. tracked everything and eat a little into my exercise calories for the first time. still an overall deficit of about 200. best wishes all.

Hi there x 3xyes today even managed a couple of mini jogs as part of my walk x tracked everything and under my calories x good day really x sadly my mom died when I was 14. that's me sitting on her lap in my avatar picture (if anyone knows how I can rotate it the right way let me know?) she always called me Amanda even…

good evening! my daughter brings me joy easy answer I didn't know what love was until I had a child x I like gardening too: a beautiful rose or dahlia can bring me almost to tears. 3xyes again. this group does hold me accountable as advertised - no way I would be exercising I would be thinking the calorie tracking is…

Hi all, hope you're well!! 3xyes again today and no pass days used yet; this is the longest I've stuck to anything health related. ever. went for a 75 min walk in the woods with my family which includes our 3 Springer spaniels, they've had a bath, dried themself off on my bed! and are all fast asleep now aah x tracked all…
