Yep, it's June. Summer is here and I decided to name the next few months the summer move on.....that is time for the fat to move on.

This group is so awesome and inspiring. Everyone is trying so hard and it shows in our numbers.

Let's all keep up to good work.

Wow June already this year is flying by.

Yesterday I strapped the same amount of weight I have lost in the last two months in a mei tai and took my walk. It was brutal. She had a fever and wouldn't let me put her down. It is hard to believe I used to carry this much weight every moment of the day!



My loss for the last two weeks is 2lbs. It has been a challenge. Last Friday we left at 4am for a 6hr trip, so I didn't weigh in... In the past 14 days I have made many good choices and compromised on multiple occasions to the best available. My goal was not to gain overall. The first weekend we were dinner guests three nights in a row. There was also a brunch baby shower & church potluck. During the week I had house guests for 3 days, and then over the 2nd weekend we traveled to Ohio, were house guests for 3 days, attended a wedding, drove home and I was involved in the food portion of a funeral at church on Monday. The children have had the flu one after another this week, and the baby had a febrile seizure last night. I know I gained some during the process, but I chose not to weigh in until this morning after 3 days of "normal" food choices.

I would say that I successfully negotiated a good chunk of life. The weight loss is a bonus.

Well, since my official McDougall start yesterday, I've lost 1/2 a pound. I'll take it!

It's a dreary day here in Florida, think I'll spend the time indoors making a meal & menu plan. For me, success is all in the planning!

Hello all! I'm just starting today so I guess put me down for 0 for this week. I weighed in at 191 this morning and I would love to lose at least 40 pounds. My wedding weight 10 years ago was 150...just barely in the healthy range for my height (5'6"). Even then, I know another 10-20 pounds less would be better. But we'll see how it goes! I'm just excited to be eating more healthy and that's the main goal...to get healthy! Well, I think it's time to go out for a walk... Have a great day everyone!

245lbs today. that's 1.5lbs since last week. WOOT!!! I weighed this amount when I got preggers with my daughter and then well preggers I lost down to 170lbs and then I got preggers with my son and gained that all back and was 245lbs again. So I'll be very glad to see this weight gone forever.

Down another 4.2 lbs this week! NO LONGER "MORBIDLY OBESE"!!!! NEVER AGAIN!

Woo Hoo for you! What a great thing to celebrate.

I was in a brain fog this morning and didn't realize it was Friday until about noon. SO - I will weigh in the morning and report then.

Thanks!

I've lost 1.6 lbs since last Friday.

Down .8 this week. I had hoped to be in the 160s by June 1st but that's OK. What's important is that I stay on plan and make this my normal way of eating.

Good job to everyone who posted! And km, that's wonderful!!! I love crossing those important thressholds!!!

Great job everyone! Just wanted to let you know I'm not weighing in this month...but I'm doing great. Just taking a break from the scale. I'll check back in in July. Have a great month!

went and looked at were the cut offs are for severely, morbidly, and super obesity. I'm right on border between severely and morbidly now. I'm almost out of it. WOOT. It says 40 is top of the one and bottom of the other so 40.8 makes me almost out of morbidly I can handle that.

Gonna chew through as much of the book as poss today. had a horrific day yesterday after 4 days McD and today has been flippin appaling too. first official day is 2mrw as there is boys night here tonight and i would make myself miserable trying to do day 1 today.

Its the second day of winter here so my plan is to be smoking hot by the time the weather warms up again

I was also thinking of doing Mary's Mini for my first 7 days. Variety always seems to un-do me so im going to do this to get started. dont even mind if i lose much i just want to try and get away from my old food and into the right head space. Has anyone else done one of these?
