Thank you Rennie

In June I'll be trying my hand at Yoga (alone, in my living room, to avoid public humiliation) and also getting my daily H2O intake.

I have cast aside all delusions regarding swimwear and becoming the next Torrid model, but I DO have a slightly overconfident goal of being 230lbs by June 30th. We shall see....Good luck darlings!

Thanks for kicking off our summer thread, Rennie! Seems like all my good work has flown out the window this month so I'm excited by the thought of a new beginning!

Here's to summer

Thanks Rennie! I am officially more than halfway to goal now, since Decembers high weight of 295 yay! I had a slowdown last month but met goal (11.4# lost, goal was 10#) so I will set my goal at 11 pounds for June. My workouts have really improved my cardio health a lot but now a hilly over 4 mile walk in the park burns only 700 calories not 1000 like it used to. I have been setting the treadmill to an incline of 12 for 2.1 miles (40 minutes for me) though, which burns over 600 calories! I walk the track for the other 2.1 miles to get my 10000 steps in. Despite eating 1300 cals a day and exercising daily, I plateaued for 18 days in May but the weight began just falling off FAST when it ended, thankfully. I am enjoying fitting into the normal section in the store again instead of the pluses now (the biggest sizes at a 16, but hey, I am getting there!).

Hope you all have a great month ahead!

Spring has sucked. I've gained 45 pounds. Suck suck suck. There goes my hope of pulling off slutty skimpy Summer clothes. Ah well. Here I am to get back on track. I'm down a couple again, and starting June off at 245. I'm setting a very big goal of 20 pounds for this month because I am hoping the weight will at least start off quickly dropping, as I've been sedentary and overeating for so long...but I'll take what I can get. I'm sad that it will probably be Fall before I'm under 200 again. Guess there's nothing to do about it but start. Good luck, all.

Starting Weight: 245
Goal Weight: 225

Rennie thank you so much again for starting this monthly thread.

Traveller way to go on being halfway to goal, that is awesome! It's great that you are modifying your exercises to get over those plateaus.

Bookmark with your determination, you will get back to Onederland before you know it

I'm starting June in the right frame of mind. We'll see if that holds up through the month. Wishing everyone a fantastic new month.

Hi everyone! This is my first time here and I’m really looking forward to it! Everyone's motivation and support are so inspiring!

This month I’m looking to taper my caffeine intake (because the only caffeine I’m fond of is coffee with a lot of added calories), meet my H2O intake goals, make my Fitbit step goal every day, and to lose ten pounds- although I’d be happy with a bit more considering where things stand

5/31: 290.4
6/1: 288.5 (-1.9)
6/2: 288.5 (-/+ 0)

Redhead welcome!!

Traveler I can't wait to fit in the normal section! Congrats love

Bookmark Let's be sluts at Halloween. Way more fun.

Happy June everyone!

Thank You for starting this Challenge, Rennie! Good Luck, Everyone!

RunningRedHead welcome to this thread

Vladadog congrats on your continued weight loss. Onederland is right there!

So I did 30 minutes of weight training/leg and abs work yesterday. I figure I can do that 3 times a week, I know it will help me and weights is an important part of getting healthy too. But as usual after weight training, the scale was up this morning.
