Jumping into June Monthly Weight Loss Challenge **Newbies always welcome!**

[bonna girl]

I haven't lost any weight and I'm getting discouraged. I have been good on my diet AND I have been working out HARD for an hour everyday. For the last week, the scale has said 165 and hasn't budged.

Don't give up NWPrincess - weight loss is a novel with many chapters. Don't let one bad chapter end your novel.... corny but it is a thought.

I was down 4.6 today - so that makes 6.5 down out of a 5.

I did set a very conservertive number this month as I'm leaving on vacation in a few days. In any case. I am going to revise that goal to 7.0 lbs now for the month. That gives me someting to strive for and keeps me honest for the month. So I'm now -6.5/7.0 I hope it's OK to do this.

 

[bonna girl]

I weighed in yesterday and the scale was down 4 pounds. so I am 4/5 for the month.

Wow.... two good numbers in a row! Hopefully this thread is on a roll and the Friday weigh-in folks will post good numbers (me included, but it has definitely been an iffy week for me).

Mary Anne... it is perfectly okay for you to change your goal number. This thread and others like it are here to HELP you! If changing your goal number helps, by all means, go for it! If I thought it would help me more, I would change my goal to 50 pounds for the month! But I'll be struggling to make my current goal!

I'll be checking back in tomorrow morning (hopefully, if I am not running late), with my weight. I'll be dreaming thin dreams tonight!...............P

Well.... I shouldn't be surprised to be +.4 this week. I haven't been faithful to my food journaling and I only made it to the gym once. Plus I am ovulating (sorry if this is TMI) and I always bloat at this time.... much more so then when AF is visiting. Sorry to be setting such a poor example.

Overall for June -1.2/8
I won't be reaching my personal birthday goal, but I still have a small chance of making the June monthly goal! Here's to renewed intent!.......P

I had to walk my b*tt off last night (Leslee Sansone..Walk Away the Pounds..4 mi.).....but weighed in this morning with a
-1 lb. loss. This was no small task, considering I had gained 2 lbs. last weekend from too much wine (Saturday)and too many margaritas (Sunday).

So I am 2/5 so far this month. Steady but slow.

Congats on the losses, and hugs on the gains. Its a rollercoaster for sure.
I am down 1.2 this week for 1.8/5 this month.
thanks

Where is everyone?? We haven't heard from baily2007, goinducky, NWPrincess, or MK4ever! Did you all fall off the bandwagon? Please.... come on back! No harsh words here, we just want to hear from you! Hope things are well with you all.

For you "losers", I am updating the first post today. Wish my number was better, but oh well!..................P

Today's inspiration is...

"If you BITE it, you WRITE it! I know that this may not apply to all "diet" plans, but it certainly does apply to Weight Watchers and other calorie tracking plans.

It is SO easy to forget a nibble or a bite or even a whole snack or meal! I'm trying to get better about this. I was RELIGIOUS about it in the late winter and spring, but have been lax about it lately and it shows on the scales. I'm trying to even remember to write BEFORE I bite. I've started keeping a small spiral bound notebook with me because it is not always easy to get to the computer to journal what I am eating. If I can write it in my notebook, I can always type it in later and I won't be forgetting it.

I challenge ALL of you to journal EVERY BITE that enters your mouth this week. Good luck....................P

Nope did not fall off the bandwagon. I could not figure out what thread to post in. I am 2/5 so far, almost half way there for the month.

I weighed in this morning - I am down another 2 lbs so for the month I am 6/5. Now comes the hard part... keeping it off til the end of the month as I have picnics and buffets to attend the next two weekends in a row.

How does everyone else do it when it comes to picnics and buffets? I have a hard time saying NO....

I weighed myself this morning and I have lost 2 pounds so right now I am 2/5.

Bring along something to share that you can eat (salad, fruit) and then just have tiny portion(s) of the other foods. I've started trying to do this for most family gatherings and it is SO much easier. Especially when it comes to desserts. If I bring a treat for myself, it is much easier to avoid the cheesecakes and ice cream and cookies!

Anyhow, I have updated the weight loss totals through today on the first page!..........................P

 

[bonna girl]

I may try that - bring a bag of the frozen fruit that I always see at Sam's. That always makes my mouth water....

I finally lost some weight after a stall. I am -3/8 so far for June. Not sure if I can make my goal this month due to the stalls, but at least I'm done 10 pounds from the time I started my diet!

 

[pjlla]

Well... the scale was kind, despite two birthday dinners and Father's Day lasagna and cake! I am -1.2 today, which brings me to -2.4/8. A loooooong way from my goal, but I'm not discouraged. I still have almost two weeks (one of which I will be away on a mini-vacation with DS, so it will be tough to be good), but I might be able to pull it off! Plus I am only .4 away from hitting a 40 lb loss. It would be great to hit that next week... AND I am only .6 away from having a new number in the tens place. A number I havent' seen in about 10+ years! So I am setting a personal goal to hit that number next week!

Hope the "scale fairy" is kind to all of you this week!..........................P

 

[wezee]

The scales did not move for me this morning....so I am still 2/5. Hopefully next week I'll have better news. Happy first day of summer to all!

 

[MK4ever]

I've reached my goal for the month this am 5/5

 

[Mary Anne]

I did not weigh in this past week as I am on vacation. However I have only had one day that I went slightly over my daily WW points and I have racked up a lot of points walking. Let me tell you I've discovered that Epcot is the park to rack up those points LOL Have a great day all.

 

[bonna girl]

I weighed in today and I was down a pound - bringing some of my own food to the picnic this past weekend worked... Thank you for the hint

I am 7/5 for the month.
