Weight-Loss
am here to lose the final 10lbs it is eluding me! where do I go for motivation? Once you're slimmish people start saying "oh you are so slim you don't need to lose weight, well I don't need to but I do want to get to healthy goal weight. I am 5ft 3ins and weigh 91/2 stone would like to weigh in at 8st 10lbs- i look better that way! I enjoy it that way, so any ideas? I'm sure just writing on here helps XX

Oh, Skinnybee! a couple of posts ago there was a spambot post on this thread, and I commented, and now its been wiped off, and it looks like I was talking about your post, which I wasn't! 
Sorry about that!
And to answer your question -- no, nothing specific, but I am following the old adage of "breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper" -- ie start the day with a good, filling, nourishing meal, and eat very lightly at night. I also don't eat late at night, hardly ever after seven, and go for a good walk every day (at least a mile). But I'm not an expert here -- I recommend reading some of the "Weight Loss Diary" section to get a good idea of the systems thta are working for people.
Hello, Pilurini! Welcome to the forum and the thread (though this thread is the June Challenge, so it wil be all over soon -- maybe open up a diary?)
and everybody -- I am really hanging out for this June challenge to finish! It's felt so tough, this last week or so. Phew!

About the post, it's fine! 
I havent officially started my diet i am waiting for July to officially strt but ive been making healthier choices. I should just eat more vegetables and fruits but one day per week im allowed to eat anything i want. I am one of those who have started dieting since im 12 y-o and everytime there's a big change in my life: going to college, finding a job, changing jobs I start eating crazy amounts of food to "forget" it's like I try to numb my brain. The fuller my stomach is the less i think about my problems so i shift my attention from the issue to my tummy which usually would hurt by that time. BUT the good news is that I have realized that I have this issue and I have started working on it that plus i love food lol
How about you? What do you think your problem wih food is? Good luck for the rest of June only 2 days left You've already beaten 28 days so the rest will be a piece of cake

Good for you, Jovins! and you both sound like you'll do brilliantly in the July challenge.
I found the June Challenge a real... errr... challenge! But it did help to keep me on-track through the month, and though I didn't quite make my goal, I'm very pleased with the progress I did make.
2 June - 91.7kg
9 June - 90.8 kg
16 June - 90.3 kg
23 June - 90.0 kg
30 June - 88.9 kg!!!!
Thank you very much, Sarah1983, for hosting this challenge, and have a great time on your trip away!

june 2nd 280 lbs
june 9th 271.2 lbs
june16th 272.5 lbs ( ate pizza and had left overs )
june 23rd 268
june 30th 263.0
Well I didn't reach my goal for the last week of getting to 260, but there is always next month. I can't wait for the July Challenge, this helped me keep on track for the most part and I lost 17 pounds. If I can lose 20 more lbs in july I'll be close to my summer goal. So who's making next monthes challenge?

Sorry for not checking in recently.. Been mega hectic! Only a few more days before I jet off!
Personally, I didn't do so well with June, haha! I still lost - but 58.4 to 57.9kg isn't exactly great for an entire month, lol. But a loss is a loss, and I'm pretty much at the weight I want to be.. just maintenance for me now!
Everyone else - great job, glad to see everyone lost weight! Special shoutout to Noparsnips for both their sucess and lovely support of others! I'll go make the July challenge now!

Whoops! I was aiming this reply at kreatchit but it has not posted under his/her comment. Anyway I hope you have kept up the 2 lbs a week loss like you were doing. When I get down to my target I will need to focus on keeping healthy. I may get down to 127 since I seem to be doing well though! but I am so happy with my results. Slow and steady was what I was aiming for so I just cut down a bit to stop me feeling the need for a binge! and it worked mostly although I had one binge but it was only some crisps so nothing terrible and that was last week.
and that was last week.
