Congrats on your 20 lb badge!!!! That is awesome!!!!

I will be honest, I have fallen off off the band wagon...the good thing is I am maintaining my weight. But I'm not eating healthy and have been eating more fast food then I should be. I guess I have found the weight that works for my way of eating at the moment though, because I haven't gained......I just can't get myself back into the groove. I don't know what it is.....

I'm so glad to hear that everyone is doing well....I will get back on the wagon, I know it...but until then, I'm happy to just maintain the 26lb loss.....I'll get there, I know I will...it's just I have to get myself back to the point of "readiness to change" again...

Are there any June starters out there? I hope I am not the only one left. I finally got my 20lb badge!! It took longer than I thought it would but I am still here after almost 4 months. Let me know how you are doing, Lynn

kmreagan............43 lbs is awesome! Good for you. Not very many June starters post anymore. Glad you let us know how you are doing. I have lost 18 lbs since June, but I have to admit I could be trying harder. Keep up the good work, Lynn

I started 6/15 and am down 43 lbs...I never thought I would make it this far or that it would become such a way of life for me...the eating part has not been too hard (knock on wood) - its the energy to exercise - though because i am on a workout plan, I do manage to workout 4-5 times a week, but there are days where it takes every ounce I have to do it. The results have been so worth it though...

Hey Tasha....welcome back. I am glad to see that some of the June Bugs are still checking in. 8 lbs til the 190's....that is a huge milestone. Keep trying on those next size down clothes....it helps. I weighed in today and lost 3 more pounds. I did the 7lbs in 7 weeks challenge on the 50 something board and it was really good for me. I lost 9 lbs in 7 weeks. It was a struggle sometimes but the other challenger kept me going. Happy Tues....just feels like Mon. Keep posting, Lynn

Hey everyone!!!

Been MIA...so busy with work and school AND moving and everything that comes along with it! Uh! Just no time!! LOL

Well I am still at 208..hoping that will change on weight in Monday!! I have maintained my weight for a month now...not really trying to loose anymore. BUT I am ready to loose more weight baby!! So my "break" is over and I'm ready to start the next "phase" I'm only 8lb away from meeting my first goal weight of 200! It's not that far away...

Another motivator is, I'm stuck inbetween sizes!! Uh! It's so annoying....my clothes DONT fit, but the next size down FITS, but I'm not comfortable in them yet...I like a little room in my clothes...and the next size down just isn't there yet.

So have a GREAT weekend everyone, be GOOD and eat HEALTHY...I want all good reports next week ;-D

Talk to you all on Monday!!! :-)

Congrats Wanttobe, I need to get back to posting. I haven't been the last week and I missed everyone. I also, don't do as well when I am not posting. It just keeps me on track. Keep up the good work. I weighed in today and I stayed the same.............which is really good since I was out of town for 4 days and didn't stick to the plan very well. Keep posting so I know how you are doing. Lynn

Hey Y'all

I have not done very well I got put on thyroid medicine and some over the counter vitamin and mineral suppliments and my hormones changed so until I found out what all they did to my system it was recommended that I not use the alli :(. I have gained a few pounds and dropped off the wagon a little bit. I am back on track with my diet and in a few more days will start my alli again. hopefully get back into routine. I have gained the few pounds but at the same time my clothes are getting looser and I have to use the next hole down on my belt so I don't feel to bad about the weight gain. It will come back off right! miss you all post again after weigh in on Friday.

Hey, What happened to everyone?!? I have been out of town for a few days.....and I did slip up a bit. I will wait until Tues before going back on Alli or I know I will have TE's. I am not going to beat myself up..but I am going to think about what I could have done differently so it won't happen again. I am not looking forward to weigh in on Tues. Let me know how you are all doing. Later, Lynn

Welcome Korne, always good to have new people join the group. I would say you are off to a great start...16 lb or 18 lbs is sounds really good to me.

Tasha.....26 lbs that is great. You keep going. You're smokin.

Lindaf2........15 lbs is awesome....I have been stuck at 14 for a couple of weeks...but I am ready to move on. You will be at 199 before you know it. Just keep plugging along. Maybe the new scale will be better.

Garnet....18 lbs is a lot to lose. I started about the same time as you did...I am at 14 lbs. No one noticed I lost any weight until I put on something that I haven't worn for 3 years. My old clothes are so big and baggy no one could tell if I lost 50 lbs! lol I kept some clothes from before..... I guess I never gave up hope that someday I would get back into them. You are doing fine...slow and steady wins the race. Keep posting so we know how you are doing.

Cat............sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. It is so hard to stay with the program when you are sick. 23 lbs is a lot. You guys are all blowing me away. I have to be more honest with myself. I kinda count and cheat a little hear and there. I am doing well with the exercise though.

After hearing everyone's progress since we all started in June, I am more motivated. I want to do better. We can all help each other. Let's keep in touch and keep each other on track. For a while I thought all the other June starters had quit and I was alone. I am glad you guys are here.

Later, Lynn

Hi. I started on June 25th and have lost 16 lbs. It was 18 but the last two weeks I gained one pound each week. Looking to find a buddy to talk to. I am 56 and currently weigh 275.

Same here Michelle - haven't posted in awhile. Flare-ups of my COPD due to this humid, muggy weather has gotten me down these past couple of weeks. I haven't been eating very well either since I really haven't felt up to cooking, so I've flipped-flopped, gained two lbs-lost two lbs for two weeks in a row! Having migraines also, I also think is due to the weather, my fibromyalgia and not eating right. But the good news is I'm down 23lbs since I started on June 2nd! Hopefully I'l get back to the losing 1-2lbs a week like I was before. I picked my grandson up from his first day at kindegarden on Friday and according to him " kindegarden rocks man!", he was so excited, he liked his teacher and the kids in his class. He had a really great first day of "real" school. I took him out for cupcakes (which I did not eat) to celebrate his wonderful first day of school.

Hope all of you new ladies are doing well. Have a great weekend. Until next time--

Cat

Congratulations Tasha. My weight loss had slowed to just one pound a week for awhile also; this week I increased my activity a little and lost two pounds. I also seem to hide weight loss well; I've lost 15 pounds so far, but no one has seemed to notice. I just keep imaging the digital scale turning over three number to 199 instead of the one number each week. I've got to buy the scale a new battery today, after about 20 years of use it seems to be tired and keeps showing "Lo" and I don't think it means me!

Started 227, now 212, goal about 175.
