Hey. I've been away from the daily accountability threads for a while, but I'm starting up again. Ordered a new weighing scale, rowing machine and am eating healthy, so I'm excited about June

Starting weight: 205
Goal weight: 197

Edit: I'm going to post weekly progress rather than daily. Hopefully it'll be less frustrating

Kukkie, let's do this ... June will be our month

LadyPetite, to the thread

LGW yes, let's go ...

ILoveVegetables, good to see you back

See y'all tomorrow ... with great start weigh ins

It's June!! Summer is QUICKLY approaching! And for the first time in a VERY long time, I'm ready for it!

This morning TOM came, BUT I was still down 1 lb from yesterday to 174.50! That's awesome! Less than 10 lbs until my next mini-goal! I am relieved to know that I can walk into any non-plus sized store and find clothes that fit me with no problem. I walk out the house with tank tops on. It feels so good lol. Summer, bring it on! By next summer, it would be nice to be strutting in a bathing suit lol

Thanks for the welcome, love2b! I always join in with good intentions but never follow through to the end. Well, no more!

I'm doing something a little different. I'm going to keep my portion sizes small but I won't count calories until I stop seeing a loss on the scale. Ultimately it IS calories in vs calories out but I tend to get so obsessive about each and every calorie (and the fact I can't truly know the *exact* amount of calories in a food drives me insane). So... baby steps.

Weighed in today and so pleased to see I was in he lower 260s as opposed to the upper 260s just a week ago. I officially started today but I was still being conscious of what I was putting in my body for the past couple days.

I am leaving for 6 weeks in Europe on June 16. I'm reluctantly not taking a scale with me, and will have limited internet service anyway. So, I'm setting this up for up to the 16th! My dream is to be below 230 by that day...but, it's not very realistic. I'll be happy with any loss up until then! I'll be back to the boards August 1st!

HW: 255
SW (April 1, 2014): 251.5
GW: 145

May 31: 235.5 (-8.5)
June 16: 229.5

Plan: 1600 cal/day, 12 cups of water/day, 1 hour of exercise 5x per week

Good afternoon Ladies, Happy Sunday to all

Olivia great way to start the month Congratulations on 1lb gone LOL, It took me a long time to remember not to go to the plus section in stores, my oldest would look at me and say Mom why are you over there? I'd just shake my head. It does feel really good. I wore a bathing suit (actually some bottoms and a tank type top) at my daughters pool two weeks ago. My children are my biggest cheerleaders, Mom you look fine take off that dress , I felt so good

LadyPetite, do you use a calorie counter like MFP? It does help and you can even scan bar codes and build your own recipes. SO it will be accurate for you. But baby steps is great

Heidi you may surprise yourself and be at your mini goal by then, you just never know on these journeys

I am down .6 to 160. I'm happy with that. On my way to my daughters again, going to hit the treadmill first then hop in the pool to wade around. Hopefully my shins will stop hurting. Oh and TOM is here finally.

Just a drive-by hello and good luck to everyone tracking daily!

Heidi - NICE! Europe! I've always wanted to go! I'll get there one day And ANYTHING is possible so you never know...you could reach that mini-goal by the time you leave. Don't count yourself out before you start

Rennie - My girls, although I'm sure are much younger than yours, are my biggest supporters too! They always tell me, "Wow Mom! You are skinny now!" lol They are my princesses, they make me feel so good lol Nice weigh in today! Any weight loss now will put you back into the 150's!!

Today I weighed in at 173.75 lbs. I am completely satisfied and content with my weight loss. I've reached every goal I've wanted to reach thus far and I'm very confident that I will see my ultimate goal for the first time in my adult life lol. That's going to be quite exciting! Until I get settled in after the move, I'd just like to maintain this weight, and then get back into weight loss once settled in.

I should have a countdown for my move.....12 more days!

Thanks Mandy good luck to you also on this journey, we can do it

Thanks Olivia , my girls are 10 and 21. My 10 year old has always told me I was skinny even at 197 which is the highest weight she can remember. My oldest when she was 6 or 7 told me she didn't want boobies because mommy has 6. I thought it was too funny to be mad at the time, plus she was little and kids are brutally honest, but it has stuck in my head every since she said it. She has been very supportive of my weigh loss since I started in 2010. But in the same sense will say you can have "what is not in my plan" it won't hurt. But she doesn't realize that it will hurt mentally for about 3 days on the scale and that's only if I can snap back after the cheat. She weighs 120 soak and wet standing at 5'5. ... ok ending my funny sob story.

Olivia you are on your way to the next decade my friend, I am so happy for you. You gonna be ready for your swimsuit before next summer (or did you mean this summer) I think you'll be ready this summer I hope I can keep this moving in the right direction.

Well this morning was a shock ... I am down another 1.4lbs to 158.6 this is a new adult low (prior to having children). Next mini goal is 155.

Olivia - Good luck on your move! Those long, across-several-states moves are TOUGH. I moved from South Carolina to Texas in August 2012, then from Texas back to South Carolina in August 2013... and some time this summer will be moving from South Carolina to Indiana (or possibly Kentucky)... Kudos to you for not eating your kitchen during the stress of moving prep! I'm a stress eater and fight that monster daily.
