brooksider and Tahnee: Thank you!!

brooksider: Try not to worry about it too much. I feel like a broken record, lol, but if you're staying on plan (and it definitely sounds like you are) then you are likely still losing - it's just not showing up on the scale yet due to water retention. As you said, stress can definitely do that, as can your workouts, TOM, not enough sleep, etc. I hope that this weekend away is really relaxing for you, and you'll come back feeling refreshed.

Tahnee: Down is down, whether you hit a particular number or not! You're ahead of where you started at the beginning of May, and that means that's you've done a great job.

Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!!

Thanks for all the support. You ladies are very inspiring! Still trudging through till the end of the month. Perhaps I'll even hit my original goal of 15 lbs. Either way, I'm very pleased with the work I've done and the progress I've made.

To those celebrating, have a great holiday weekend. And to those who serve, many, many thanks.

I restarted c25k today, this time actually running outside as opposed to on the elliptical. I'm tired now, but it felt good being able to do it without needing to all-out stop, even with my twisted ankle.

Even better, I'm .2 away from my May goal weight! And just in time!

Hope you all are having a great weekend.

rmc: You've done fantastic this month! Even being anywhere close to 15 lbs is wild! Awesome job on staying with it.

Ferumbras: Way to go on C25K! It's such a good feeling to make it through a really challenging workout, and with the ankle difficulty to boot! And woohoo on being so close to your May goal!!!


Hope everyone is giving it their all these last few days of the month - wherever we are in relation to our goals, let's finish strong! Have a great weekend.

Chickadee! I reached my 30 day binge free goal. But as for the others, still not there. Gym has been 6 days a week, but on certain days, I stay 4 huors. Water hasn't improved significantly, weight still 155.0-ish....anyways, I'm just happy that I made ONE of my goals!

chickadee: Thanks! I'm really excited to keep doing the c25k. It felt a lot better running outside than on the elliptical, I must admit. As for being close to my May goal... well, I gained nearly a pound, so I'm hovering between 174.8 and 175 right now. Hopefully it's just water retention from the working out and I'll still make 174 by Tuesday, but who knows? Still, 11 pounds lost for the month is not bad! Gotta remember that.

Beila: SERIOUSLY AWESOME JOB!!!!!!! I have never had to struggle with binging myself, but from what I read around here I gather that it can be extremely difficult. I am so impressed that you managed to meet that goal! Do it again for June!!!!! Seriously, way to go.

Ferumbras: I hear you on the water weight! I have been battling it all week long, and am still up a pound from where I was on Monday despite eating on plan all week! And when I try to do any running at all, my scale shoots up by about 3 lbs, lol. But, if we're on plan we know we are losing, regardless of what the scale says. (Not that it's not completely frustrating in the meantime!) Whether the number on the scale on Tuesday is your goal number or not, you've done an amazing job this month! PS - I always use the morning of the first of the month as my end weight for the previous month and start weight for the next month. So if you don't see the number you're looking for on Tuesday, use your June 1 morning weight.

I made my goal and lost 20 lbs in May! I'm so glad my weight loss journey is off to a great start and now I feel like I can see it all the way through.

Way to go all you losers!!!

Didn't make my goal again. Down 1 whole pound but took my measurements this morning and I'm down 3.5" so that's a silver lining
Off to June I will have more time in June to get in workouts and plan meals so it should be a better month.

Happy June everyone!
