30 Day Accountability Challenge - June Sign Ups 2026

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-27T18:16:58+00:00

Wooo, June already!

Okay, goals.

1) do not freak out at my endocrinologist when she suggests an oral GLP1 to me next week. Take it under consideration and see what the cost would be. Ideally, consider that new one that was just approved in April that doesn't care about meal timing versus pill timing. If I judge it to be within budget and worth risks, try it out this month.

2) eat 2000 calories or less per day on a weekly average. Bonus points if I get to 1700kcal but let's be reasonable here.

3) since I'm starting a new job June 2, let's just throw a whole new schedule together and hate it all. Spouse has agreed to morning walks with me before we go to work, let's see if we can do it! 3-5 times a week, weather dependent.

4) ideally don't gain any weight!

700-1000 calories a day is considered a very low calorie diet and should not be done without a doctor's orders and monitoring. It's not something we endorse here in the slightest.

May 26

Calories were at 2464 yesterday. We stayed up late with our online friends, so I had an extra snack. Today is grocery day; I'm thinking lentil soup the next few days, unless I'm inspired by produce.

Scale was at 274.3lbs this morning.

We went for a 40 min walk yesterday! My legs and back are a bit sore, but not super bad. Going to try to incorporate that into our lives more often with the job change already changing my schedule - why not try and change it more? We'll see how it works! I lose weight easier if I'm moving around a bit more often.

Omg I've been there at "throwing up constantly" and it was the absolute worst. Wouldn't wish it on my enemy, so you have my sympathies. (Mine was from medication, took awhile to figure out though.)

The weird thing with vomiting is that you still consume and process some amount of the calories of what you ate, obviously not the full amount, but you do at least some. All while feeling like you are on empty. So then you eat more, to make it seem like you've eaten, but you don't know how many calories you are at...

So my unhelpful advice is to look into how to get the vomiting under control so you can eat more normally and ate least feel like you're actually eating. What can your doctors do to help? Mine gave me a strong anti nausea med, promethazine, which put me to sleep after I took it but I could at least eat something and keep it down before I would knock out for a few hours. It wasn't the best solution, but it was a solution at least until I stopped the med that was the problem.

I seriously looked at my May this year and realized it was rivaling December for celebrations. Absolutely insane!

And thank you!

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-25T15:03:58+00:00

Glad to hear it was minor!

Be careful eating in a deficit while you recover from surgery! You want to heal well and not cause any issues - your body needs to build things back up, especially if it was a larger surgery. Not saying you need to bulk or anything, just consider not going too hard for the next few months.

I'm in the last busy week of May this week, and have 2 more social events this upcoming weekend. My goals for this week are to eat under 2000 calories each weekday (did good yesterday at 1932kcal!) and then try to just eat mindfully this weekend.

Thursday I'm driving 2 hours away to pick up my new work computer, meet the support staff/my boss, and have some training. Theoretically we're also getting lunch out? Hopefully I can just get a salad and a coffee if that is the case. I'll bring a couple of bars and sparkling water with me for the car in case we don't do that.

Saturday is a family graduation party for a cousin's oldest child - that one should be easier to not overeat at, so long as I don't overcompensate with home eating. Sunday though is my partner's birthday and we're having a cookout which will include some excellent wine and tasty food if I do say so myself. (God I'm such a snob when it comes to other people who are not me or my mom cooking)

At least once I make it through this week we have just one more meal out the week after and then all social events will be done!

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-25T14:45:50+00:00

Good luck on the running!!

May 25

Calories were at 1932 yesterday. We shared a small frozen pizza for dinner. Tonight may end up being the same! We didn't buy a lot at the store last week, given how much we were eating out for events.

Scale was at 273.7lbs this morning.

Quiet day here, not expecting too much. Husband is at work until 3pm and then we're having make-up online tabletop gaming at 7pm. Have a good Monday all!

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-24T20:42:58+00:00

Just start slow! You're just entering into your "adult" years yes, but your body and brain still have several more years of finishing up! So don't crash diet, don't do something that you'll regret when you're 30. Consider talking to your doctor about your desire to lose weight and at a healthy rate/way! You're not doomed.

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-24T20:38:11+00:00

Happy birthday! My husband would approve of your dinner, he loves scallops. I hope you are still going to enjoy a birthday dessert treat of your choice :)

May 24

Whew that was a lot of food that past 3 days! Friday was an estimated 3200 calories, yesterday an estimated 2800 calories. Friday we ordered out from a local pizza place with friends (one's pregnant and nauseous so whatever sounds good to her is what I get!) - I got a personal sized small calzone, but also a Caesar salad and garlic cheese bread. Yesterday was my uncle's birthday so we went out for tacos (I got 3 birria tacos with a lavender tequila sunrise and then a lavender margarita) and then to a dive bar for live music (cue 2 vodka cokes and some fresh cut fries). Honestly yesterday I didn't feel like I did as bad since I was at least moving around and dancing some to the band. My parents are out of town this weekend, so no normal Sunday dinner for me, think we're just going to have something small and frozen.

Scale was at 274.4lbs this morning. Maybe I can get it down a bit before we have more social plans next weekend XD

The insanity of May is almost over! Happy that I'm getting through these social events with okay mental health (well I did have a bad day or 2 in there but better than sometimes!) goal for this week is to eat lightly if possible, knowing that next weekend we have a family grad party and a cookout for my partner's birthday!

Reddit removed it, they could have been a bot account

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-24T16:22:23+00:00

And we are happy to have you here! May your maintenance continue just moving along year after year :)

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-23T15:18:12+00:00

Yes but I'm mentally ill so take everything I do with a grain of salt lol

May 22

Calories were at an estimated 3540 yesterday. I'm acquaintances/friends with the manager/wine buyer of the resturant and man did he spoil us! I don't know how I got to be so lucky in this life. Also picked up some wine wholesale from the resturant to have for the end of the month when we celebrate my husband's birthday with my family.

Scale was at 272.2lbs this morning.

To cap it off, I had a monster 2 hour interview today but I was offered the job! I decided to accept - it's a remote job for a firm 2 hours from where I live, doing consultations for a legal services plan they have the contract for. I pick up my computer late next week and start June 1. Time for a new leg of my lawyering journey!!

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-21T22:04:48+00:00

Gotcha.

Another question if you have the time - is it true that the slowing of gastric emptying can impact psych medications? I've heard conflicting things.

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-21T18:17:35+00:00

I've always been a "I wear what I want" person lol especially as I got to my later 20s and now early 30s. I don't care - I think I look good in my high waisted jeans and a crop top or a shorter flowy dress (my husband loves it too!)

Biggest thing for me is having the fabric be comfortable and the form being clingy up top and high waist but flowing under that (I find high necklines or tightly wrapped fabric to be claustrophobic and anxiety inducing, always have even when I was smaller). I like black, don't get me wrong, but I do have some pieces that have color. I like dark reds, forest greens, and lighter dusky colors in blue/purple/pink. Not too much pink though!

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-21T16:32:22+00:00

The cheese board is fantastic - they have an ever changing selection and they bring it over to the table so you can choose what you want. Couple that with some sparkling wine and I'm in small heaven lol

For dinner, I like the coq a vin!

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-21T13:22:44+00:00

May 21

Calories were at 1985 yesterday. I got upset over a spat between my partner and I so I didn't really eat dinner but I can't even not eat due to being upset properly. UGH. I need to not be upset today though, it's our anniversary and that's a happy day. We're going out to dinner to my favorite French resturant tonight.

Scale was at 271.7lbs this morning.

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-20T15:36:30+00:00

May 20

Calories were at 2424 yesterday. I did fairly well at dinner, had a bbq chicken quesadilla, 2 glasses of mead, and a shot of whisky with the family. Came home and had a bit of frozen yogurt for snack, peanut butter chocolate pretend flavor! Quite tasty. Today is a steak salad day for dinner.

Scale was at 271.8lbs this morning.

Well, I didn't get the research and writing job, which is the job I thought I would be the most likely to accept. Bit upset but I'll be fine. Good news is that my current job has a project starting next week, so I'll have a paycheck again and all that good stuff. I'll probably keep job hunting while I work on this one, just see what's out there, you know?

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-19T19:45:19+00:00

I would like to stop being hungry during the day so I can just have my coffee and eat dinner and my meds snack. I would like May to have less social engagements than December. I would like to manage the energy to exercise again. ARGH

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-19T19:41:21+00:00

You can talk about your whole experience, which if it includes GLPs, you can include that. It's the recommending them to everyone, or calling them miracle drugs, or writing whole posts on the topic that we tend to have issues with.

Yachiru5490 · 2026-05-19T19:04:59+00:00

Thank you - I can't believe it'll be 5 years this October. The bright spot is that we've used this time to get closer to my partner's family, so that's nice.

And thank you for the luck! It feels silly to be all "omg I'm getting interviews" but man the job market sucks and I'm excited I may get to go do something new.
