If I could just get out of the 240's for June I'd be happy. This morn 246. Not lost nothing!!!!so far. I continue to do the same stuff, so what do I expect. Have my walking shoes in the car. After work walk at the community park is my plan to just do it. I got 2 move it move it!
dcap, welcome back! And Dawny, welcome! I added you both to the goal list below. Dawny, I know you can commit to make the changes you need to make to see the losses you want to see.
aniela: YAYAYAYAY on ONEDERLAND!!!! That's so awesome! Congratulations!!
kandd: Sounds like the first week of June went great for you! Keep it up!
Eliza: Looks like things are coming along this month!
OK, so I've been absent again, lol. The past few days have been busy and very, very anxious. On Wed I traveled 14 hours to get to a conference, and then traveled 10 hours back on Saturday, and since I was last on here I've had three blood tests to check on how my numbers are progressing. Friday's test produced some upsetting results and I cried pretty much non-stop for half the day on Saturday (got the results Sat morning), but today's results are much better and it looks like things are ok and on track for the moment. I'll know more after an early ultrasound this week, and I'll be holding my breath until that happens. I'm scared to even use the term pregnant just yet because there is so much that could go wrong still.
Anyway, for the time being I won't be setting a weight loss goal - I'm more just trying to control my ravenous appetite right now!
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

I was pretty good all last week at staying OP & even exercised 4X, so that's progress once again. I don't think I'm going to see much on the scale this week since TOM's on his way & I'm retaining water already.
Chickadee, hope all is well with you good thoughts being sent your way.
Dawny, just keep moving girl, each step is a step in the right direction to a healthier you. It'll take time, but it will happen, so don't get discouraged.
I've actually gotten under 140 a couple of times in the past few days but I'm not ready to call it goal just yet. If I'm there on Friday (my WI day), then I'll call it. I'm optimistic!
lulu: Close to goal for the month already! Nice job!
kandd: If you're working at it the way you are, you're making progress even if you don't see it on the scale immediately. Great job continuing to fight!
Steph: Ooo, so close to being there! Hoping you'll feel comfortable calling it on Friday.
And kandd and Steph, thank you. I really appreciate the good thoughts. I'm nervous but so so anxious to just get to Friday and see what things look like. Now if I can just stop eating like crazy in the meantime!! I don't know if it's real hunger or stress or both.
Painted, don't sweat it! That could SO easily be just a touch of water retention (and not even much at that!). I'd be willing to be you'll be back down next week.
Jerita, welcome! I have added you to the goal list below.

All, I'm sorry I've not been here so much to cheer everyone on, I've just had a lot happening. How is everyone doing this month?? I'd love to hear what's going on - but maybe everyone is just out being really active and/or busy cooking healthy meals?
So, for those here who have seen past posts, some more cryptic than others... I've been going through IVF for the last 8 months, after TTC for the last 2.5 years. We transferred two embryos during our most recent cycle in May, and a couple weeks ago I got the positive test. I've been holding my breath since then, just hoping things would continue to develop ok... and this morning we had a first early ultrasound, which showed TWO gestational sacs and TWO heartbeats! I am excited and overwhelmed and a host of other things, but more than anything I am happy and relieved. I won't really relax more until we get a few weeks further into this and there is a less of a chance of a loss, but after detecting the hbs this morning I finally feel like I can actually say it out loud: I'm pregnant.
chickadee: Congrats!! Best wishes for a healthy pregnancy!
As for me, I'm still at 199. Not sure what happened this week - the weekend wasn't too bad and I was good all week. Eating well, working out, really staying on plan. Hopefully it's just a fluke and things will even out soon. I have some super busy weekends coming up - visiting family in NY for the weekend, most of the up coming week off work, BBQ Beach Party next weekend, and a friend's bachelorette party the following weekend. Going to try to do my best to at least keep working out...even if my eating isn't so great a few days here and there!
Dawny, I know you can commit to make the changes you need to make to see the losses you want to see. 
That's so awesome! Congratulations!!
