June 2012 Challenge

Tara, it's not over for you! It's just really slow towards the end.

Hang in there girl!

[midnight]

Oh well I almost made it. Lost 8lbs but I have been going to curves.

[michelleb]

Still at 169! At least I'm maintaning. I guess this is the weight my body wants to be at?

[scgal21]

I lost 4 lbs. this month...at this point, I'll take any loss. I over did my excercise and injured my knee, so it's going to be slow going.

I'm a day late - didn't make my goal but did in finality drop 3.4 lbs for the month. Considering the emotional junk I'm just glad I didn't gain.
Off to the July post....

It sounds like June was disapointing for a few of us. I had the injury in my quad and couldn't exercise most of it, and a few days ago fell into a plate of cake face first! I was out of my controlled environment and it just called to me, probably b/c I had eaten crackers a few hours earlier and I swear it was like turning up a thermostat, one that says "eat carbs eat carbs eat carbs." So that means no weight loss for this week, I guess. My goal was to lose 5-10 lbs. and I lost 3, but it's still better than where I was or a gain, so I'll take it.

My quad finally seems healed, I would take a walk when it felt okay and then have pain the next day...walked yesterday after taking a few days off and no pain this morning, so I'll be getting back to it! I'm glad b/c I need the exercise for a number of reasons, stress reduction, caloric burn, and muscle conditioning...Let's hope July is better for everyone!

Ok, here we go again!

Starting weight 171lbs

GOALS!
1. Do weights 3x a week and hit gym at least 5 days a week.
2. WATER WATER WATER
3. Up protein
4. Loose 5 lbs so ending weight of 166lbs. I am setting this low because I am so far out nad I plan on hitting the gym hard so the weight loss will slow, stop, or I might gain a little as I add muscle.

Good luck to everyone this month!

I only made one of my goals and it was the weight loss one. I weighed in at 165.5. Barely got under it but I did. I really need to start eating better and working out. Summer is KILLING me!

5. Continue to be faithful with documenting everything in My Fitness Pal
6. Don't stress over scale and work towards non daily weights
7. Stay focused and listen to my sleeve and not the old time fat thoughts in my head for what i need nutritionally.

Thanks for starting the thread early. I am super excited about June. LOL! I think it is because it is summer time.

June goals:
Work out at least 1 hr a day, 6 to 7 times a week (treadmill, weight training class, spinning or kickboxing class)
Drink 64oz of fluid (can be tea, water, coffee, protein shake combine)
Eat 60g of protein minimum (protein shake for breakfast, meat for lunch and dinner)
Limit bad carbs to once a day (sweets, dessert)
Lose 4lbs (Starting BMI is 28.0, I would like my BMI to be 27.2 or lower at the end of the month)
Use MFP to track calories intake

I hit most of my goals in June.

Lost 6.4lbs. BMI was 26.7. The only I didn't well is eating sweet more than once a day.

[Gwyn]

Ugh, this past month was awful for weight loss! ...but pretty good for my body reshaping itself, so I'm trying not to be dumb about it heh.

Okay, June...

Starting weight 248.

I will lose 10 pounds!
I will go to yoga once a week (I'm trying to go twice a week but travel for work sometimes makes it difficult).
I will either swim or bike twice a week.
I will walk at least two miles every weekend (I know that's low, but it's easily attainable so I won't get all disheartened about it).

Hmmm.. what else.. I guess that's good for now!

Good luck everyone!

OKay well... Not quite.

I lost 8 pounds, which is good. I also lost TWO sizes!!! I haven't been to yoga (this is a stupid excuse, but I'm waiting on a friend to get back into town). I've been swimming a handfull of times, but not religiously. I have been doing a lot of walking and a lot of 'keeping busy' type things that keep me from just sitting around all evening. So yeah.. some improvements but I could have done better.

[Dee Leshuz]

I think you did great, Gwyn!

[Dee Leshuz]

Yay me! I was able to walk yesterday for an hour with no pain during or after! Thank God. My metabolism really needs revving up after all the days off exercise I had to take for recovery.
