June 2012 Challenge

[Tara McGee Jackson]

Open to anyone and everyone sleeved or not.

Here is how it works.

Post your goals for June. This can be any changes you want to make. Work out more(set days a week maybe) drink more water, eat more protein, and a final goal for weight loss for month. Be sure to post your starting weight as well so we can all see your progress. Check back in with us as often as you can so we can see your progress and offer support. Check back in with your final report on June 30th. Check January-May's threads for examples if you want/need to.

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!

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

Hallo

I really need to join.My start weight is 241 pounds and I want to be 229 by the end of June.

So,for June I want to lose 12 pounds (to compensate for the small 8 of this month)
I will exercise 5 time a week.
I will not obsess over the scale and try to weigh only every second day,lol
And I will try to eat breakfast every day.

This might just be the accountability I have lacked this month as far as exercising's concerned.

xxo

Oh,and I will get a new bodybugg and wear it all the time to track my activities and calories.It really helps to get me moving more.

I will loose 5 pounds
I will stop buying NON-REAL food for anyone including myself
I will exercise twice a day for 30 minutes (Yoga, dance, walking, splitting wood, yard work, any extra movement for 30 minutes twice a day)
I will focus on me and what I need to do Putting myself first is the only way i will achieve my goals!

I'm in..... I want to try to lose 10 pounds this month but I wont get bummed out if I don't make it. I will go to curves m-f for 40 mins a day. I love this challenge good luck to everyone.

[SmeoneSpcl]

My May was pretty much a flatline, so while I want to push myself, I want to set goals that are obtainable so that I feel accomplished and then build on that success (I am so lazy with the exercise regime!)

My starting weight is 287 and my goals are:
1) weight training at least once a week
2) protein shakes/bars twice a day
3) walk at least 3 miles a week

[scgal21]

I lost 5 of the 10 lbs I set as goal for May, so I will be more conservative this month!

Lose 5 lbs in June...anything over that will be a bonus
Excercise 5x week to build muscle
Drink 75 oz water every day (I slipped on this one in May)
Celebrate my journey and not be so hard on myself

[*Lindsey*]

Ok So I am literally a day over a week pre-op, but Im going to make a goal anyways )

I'm not completely sure of my weight yet. I am not trusting my digital scale as it shows WAY too much lost. I will confirm this at my post op appointment today!

Drink more than 1 bottle of water a day ( Hopefully wont be too difficult)
Get out and walk my dog nightly.
Get at least 7 hours of sleep ( Not super easy for me )
Get in ALL my Protein + Some!!!!!

[Tara McGee Jackson]

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!

[Jillbeme]

I'm in! I am cutting back on carbs. Hitting the gym or exercising 5 days a week. Drink more water, and hoping for an 8lb loss!

[mellymel]

Thank you soo much for this! I need to get moving and get a routine and lose some weight now before I have surgery .. I want to start off on a good foot or should I say a lighter foot lol hehe

Goal will be to go to the gym minimum of four days a week for 30mins - cut out sugar and increase the protein now.. in fact find a tasty protein shake lol .. remember to update my info on here.lol I am now at 288lbs and will hope to lose something!

We all can do what we set our minds to do!

This is such wonderful support to have - thank you all for being open and sharing as you do on this site!

This month is just about like last month. I'm starting at 225.2 from yesterday so I need to drop 5.4 lbs to get under 220 this month. I want to see the TEENS!
The pool is up and I'll be in any day it isn't pouring, so exercise will be happening.

Biggest challenge this month? Dealing with the stress of visiting my family in CT in 3 wks, staying with my mother for 3 days. (oil meet water) It will be a real test to see how I handle the situation this time. Hopefully having a way to exercise in my back yard will help keep me from heading for the ice cream.

Hello Everybody!

Well my goal, could be entirely unrealisitic but Im going to try nonetheless, is to lose 10kgs. (22lbs) I am not even 1 month out yet, so if it was ever going to happen, it would be now. You can see my starting weight and progress on my little ticker.

How will I do this? Well I need to start moving more. Im thinking I need to commit to exercising 3 X Week for 40mins.
I also need to try and get my vitamins in.

Cheers!
