I'm doing a Summer Challenge that is going through September 1, so this will fit in nicely as a shorter goal. And today was the first official day of My Plan, so hopefully this will keep me motivated.

Food: Low-carb, wheat-free. Planning for 1400 - 1600 calories but I might go as high as 1800 (still tweaking that).

Exercise:
M, W, F - Toning/strength training (No More Trouble Zones DVD)
T, Th, St - Cardio (Couch to 5K)
Daily - Flexibility (Budokon DVD)

And I'm going to start reading Women Food and God as soon as it arrives in the mail.

I'm in! I'm going for June being completely OP. My birthday is in June & I figured what better present could I give myself!

My food plan is to eat 1600-1800 calories per day. Plenty of fresh veggies & more protein.

My exercise plan is to get at least 50 minutes of exercise per day. I alternate between the elliptical & doing cardio/toning DVDs. My goal by month end is to do 4.5 miles per 50 minutes on the elliptical (right now I'm at 4.3, so want to up my speed a bit).

I'm IN!!! I need to be at 213.2 on June 30 in order to meet my Pound for Pound Challenge pledge, but I'm having a major problem with that transition from the 220s to the 2-teens. First, I made it down to 221.8 and lost it and ended up all the way back to 228.4. Then I made it through to the teens to 219.4 but only for a day and started creeping back up from there all the way back to 223.4 yesterday. I didn't even bother to WI today since I was up a lot of the night with a sick kid and and making some poor choices on top of no sleep (and probably not much sleep tonight either) plus TOM.

But on the other hand, even though the scale hasn't been that cooperative, I've suddenly shrunk a clothing size this week! So I'm feeling really optimistic due to that, and I think seeing not so great numbers on the scale might be discouraging when really, I have every reason to feel good about where I am right now and to keep going with a full month on plan.

Good luck to everyone! We are going to be smokin' by the end of June!

#1/30 accomplished!

I really need this. Today is June first and I will stay on plan for one month.

Oh I am so in. Hubby and I decided this yesterday as well. So far this morning I had oatmeal, an apple, and a glass of milk. It's going to be a busy day so we'll see how it goes from here. I'll likely post in the morning about the day before.

Oh man! My rumpus is dragging the floor this morning. I'm definitely adding 'more sleep' into my plan for the next 30 days. I've read that lack of sleep can make you gain weight. That would be going in the wrong direction!

Have a great on-plan day, everyone.

Today will be easy for me to stay on plan because I am having oral surgery today! lol
So, I can't eat past 9 am this morning and my surgery is at 3 pm... sure I won't want to eat tonight much.... tomorrow much either.

OMG I hate my alarm clock! I didn't get much sleep last night because I slept in til 11 am yesterday morning. I'm feeling it today! BAH! I'm sore as heck from doing day 1 of p90x too. I love being sore :D Having my oatmeal and egg whites, my food is packed for work and ready to go!

chicken breast salad with tons of greens and a delicious all natural dressing
luna bar
2 hard boiled eggs
an apple
protein shake

AFter work I have 5 miles to run and that's it for exercise. It would be ideal for me to do my run before work, but I'd have to get up at like 3 am and i just don't know how that would work. I'd probably be grumpo the amazing beeyatch! 5am is bad enough as it is!

Everyone have a good day and stay on plan!

Day 2:

Breakfast: 1.5 serving rice chex, egg beaters with ff cheese, lite yogurt, 8 oz. vanilla soymilk - 395 cal.
Snack - Special K cereal bar - 90 cal.
Lunch - Shish kebab from dinner last night - 392 cal.
Snack - apple with almond butter/dark chocolate blend (YUMMY) - 269
Dinner - Chef's salad w/ salmon and sweet potato - 397 cal.
Snack: Watermelon - 97 cal.

Total Cal. - 1640

I hope everyone has a lovely POP day!

Count me in! My on plan is just to eat healthier and exercise 5 days a week. I slacked off for the last 8 days due to a cold and busy work week. So here's to jumping back on the wagon.

I'd love to join. :) I've been pretty good about staying within my calorie range, but haven't been so good at making the best choices within that range.

My plan is 1200-1500 calories, though lately I've been sticking closer to the 1200. I'd like to try eating closer to the 1500 and commit myself to doing the 30 Day Shred at least 3 times per week.

Other goals for the month include only one meal out per week. This is going to be tough because we typically eat out 5-10 times per week. A couple days last month I ate every last meal at a restaurant. Not. Good. I'm hoping this will allow us to bank cash for our vacation in July.

Here's to renewed dedication in June!

I'll join. I am really trying to get back into weight loss mode after taking a winter hiatus. One of my goals this month will be to get back into walking.

Day #1
Here is my food plan for today.

- high fiber hot cereal with 1/4 tsp olive oil, Source vanilla yogurt (sf, ff) and blueberries
- salad with pesto dressing and chicken breast
- banana

- some kind of 100 calorie snack
