Team Skinny...June 2012- Summer has arrived!

I am not at mine and missed my May weight by 3 pounds.

I am in for this month and it is going to be a tough one! Leave next week for a 2 week vacation for my sons wedding, a week in the wine country probably eating and drinking way to much. I will do my best to get in some runs while there to stave off as much as possible, but......

starting weight June 1   213, still happy to be here down 23 from January.

June Goal 205 which is my ultimate goal at this time, We'll see how it goes from there.

Good luck everyone!

6/1/12 - 211

Starting to head in the right direction again.  Maybe I won't be over ambitious and just aim for 205 by the end of the month.  I seem to have plateau'd there and got a bit sloppy.  Funny this food thing, you can't just stop being responsible once you've reached your goal weight....

Wow, you sound like me. Got down to 202 in late April, had big weeks of workouts for IM Texas so I just ate whatever I wanted and then post race have been on a binge. Scale now reads somewhere north of 212. Back on the horse I go!

Congratulations!  You've come quite a long way! 

Also, I'm in. 

current weight: 206.4

goal by end of june: 190

I am in for June.  I had a less than stellar month of May.  Just keep hanging out at the same weight without moving up or down despite increasing my training.  My June goal is to lose 4 lbs. 

Here we go ....

Slow and steady wins THIS race. (The other ones, it just gets a finisher's medal, and I'm cool with that.)

January 2012 - 285.7

May - 253.5

end of May 249

June 6 weigh in - 247.1

I have my first HIM this weekend, so I expect a couple pounds uptick in the next few days. After that, I'm planning to focus even harder on the weight loss through summer.

June Target 200

Stalled a little but very happy with how far I have come. Time to bear down and get to that 2 bills mark. 

Stalled a little you say? I felt the same way about one or two weeks. I cut out the middle to highlight these numbers. That is MASSIVE weight loss in 5 months. And steady like that, I believe it is more likely to STAY off now. That's what I hope about mine, anyway.

Keep rolling.

6/ 6 / 12 - 212 lbs

goal for the end of June is 208... Now that schools out (I am a teacher )I plan on working out more and hopefully getting in the pool some...

4/11  - 223.4
4/18  - 219.2
4/25  - 217.0
5/01  - 216.0
5/09  - 214.4
5/16  - 213.8
5/23  - 210.4
5/30  - 209.2
6/06  - 207.4

Sooooooo close to that 200.  I think I can make it.  I'm going to set my goal high for June at 200 realistically if I hit 203 this month I will be happy though.  I have plenty of time to train this month, and can finally start swimming again (woohoo). 

I just can't believe that I am approaching that 200 mark, the last time I was sub 200 was when I was a teenager and I'm 26 now. 

Hope the month goes well for you all!

Your progress since the start of the year is awesome.  I admire you dedication! 

Absolutely.  I have been blown away by the rate at which I have managed to lose weight.  My original goal when I started in January was 220 lbs.  I thought that was were I would plateau and I had planned on it taking me until early June to mid June to reach that milestone.  I couldn't be more happy with the results I've gotten following the simple diet and exercise regimen.  I keep coming here for three reasons...1. Accountability, 2. to be inspired, and 3. to inspire others.

True yes I have stalled a little over the past two weeks but in reality I have already exceeded my original expectations and sooner or later I knew it would happen.  I can be very happy floating somewhere hopefully between 195 and 205.

You all keep me motivated.  Knowing I'm going to have to post a number on weigh in Wednesdays keeps me waking up early for runs, or cranking pedals, or eating baby carrots when I'd rather be eating Oreos.

thanks to all and keep pushing...

6/6/12 - 173 down a pound!  I have stepped up my workout schedule and back to 2 a days since being sick and slightly off.  

I am trying to work on balancing out the amount of calories and the amount burned to keep me from not eating enough or too much.  Seems like making the leap in the time I am training is throwing me off a little, so I have to readjust.  

4/19: 151.8

4/25: 149.8

5/2: 150.0

5/9: 151.2

5/30 150.2

6/6: 149.6

I'm a bit frustrated to not be budging. Honestly, I am not going to even set a goal, other than to lose SOMETHING. I don't want to be much more strict on my eating that I already am, so I am going to have to increase my exercise (which can be done easily enough now that I'm finished teaching for the summer and only working a couple of days a week at a camp for autistic kids). I will, however, be sure to track my calories more often so that I don't wind up eating more than I realize.

End of May- 207.0 lbs

6/7/2012- 205.0lbs

End of month goal- 200lbs

I got 1 month until I take a mini beach vacation so I would love to shed the remaining 5lbs prior to that trip. 10 more lbs and I am down to my goal weight of 195lbs and a total of 65lbs lost!

6/7/12:  211.  Not down    But not up 

6-7-2012   217.2  25.5%
