June Weight Loss Challenge
 

In June, we'll croon 'cuz we're meeting our goals soon.

Join the June Weight Loss Challenge to set your goal, track it, and meet it -- with the help of a supportive and encouraging group.

What is your goal for June? All the goals will be compiled into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.

Join us at our sister thread, http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...challenge.html, to track your fitness goals.

Thank you for this thread and for keeping track of our progress once again, Joy! I want to lose 6 lbs in the month of June. I won't know what my starting weight for June is until I am able to get home to my own scale and figure it out, compared to what my Dad's scale says, so until I do figure it out, I'll be putting my starting and daily weights in parentheses.

Goal: Lose 6 lbs

I'm excited for this! I had a very stressful year filled with stress eating which has only caused more stress...and the cycle continues.

My current weight is 208.5 and I would like to get under 200. I know it's a big goal to lose 9 pounds in one month but in my experience it's easy to lose weight during the first month. Also I just got a new job where instead of sitting around all day I'll be on my feet for 8 hours a day for 5 days a week so that'll help.

SW- 208.5
GW- 199.5

Yes, thank you gardnerjoy! It is great to be able to come here and get support or pats on the back or just even chat about everyday things.

This month my goal is -18...yes it is a very high goal but only because I am adding on what I didn't lose in May, so really I will be happy with -10...but officially -18...just in case any extra pounds feel like jumping off my body!

I am in for June. I'm pumped. I believe I am going to change things up this month, as I have a week of vacation coming at the end of this month. Soo, I am definitely aiming for 10 pounds this month and I WILL HIT GOAL this month. In any case, looking forward to it. I do also want to set a personal goal of coming here and checking in everyday as that holds me accountable. I tend to veer on my days off of work and do not check in here, so perhaps if I set that goal for myself, it will keep me in line on my days off. Soooo, please give me a quick kick if I miss a day..lol!

I'd love to join!!!

I've found it so hard to stay on track post-baby, so I'm going to make a goal that I feel confident I can meet. I weighed in at 199.0 this morning, so I'd like to lose 4.1 lbs

SW: 199.0
GW: 194.9

I want in!

I am just beginning the process of losing about 30 lb that I gained back after a stressful first year of teaching-- and I am getting married in July! I don't expect to meet my ultimate goal by then, but I know that even just making some progress by then will help me to feel awesome. And I'm going to keep going afterward and ultimately focus on maintaining when I get there. :)

As of this morning, I am 154.1... I'd like to see 144 by the end of June. Is that realistic?

SW: 154
GW: 144

SW - 169.9
GW - 164.9
Happy Sunday, everyone!!! Well, I am with you Delphi - I will make goal this month. I want to lose five lbs. I had a box full of clothes that I was wearing this time last year. I have to get back into them! Can't believe I gained 20 pounds in one year. Ugh! Going to family dinner today. My mother in law is making me baked chicken while every one else is chomping on BBQ ribs. I WILL stay on target!!!

Thank you Gardenerjoy for the shiny new thread, last challenge was 8 lbs loss, with a goal of 6.2 lbs loss. For the month of June I'm shooting for 6 lbs. loss, I'll consider even 5 lbs a great success.
SW - 226.2
GW - 220.2
Wishing us all a happy, healthy and productive month, let's do this!
ETA -
As of June 2nd I am 226 = .2 down, not much of a loss but I appreciate any weight loss since my calories have been well over 2,000 lately with little to no exercise.
As of June 7th I am 225 =1.2 down, feeling super blessed! 4.8 lbs to goal.
As of June 9th I am 224.8 = 1.4 down, feeling super thankful, 4.6 lbs. to goal.
As of June 14 & 15 I am 224.4 lbs. = 1.8 down, 4.2 lbs to goal. I'm happy but feeling a little anxious that I won't meet goal, the weight seemed to be pouring off the past few months, but for whatever reason (probably due to some excess calories & my minute exercise habits ;) ) I haven't been losing as quickly as expected. I am still the lowest I've ever been as an adult, so yay me! *grateful*
As of June 16th I am 222.8 lbs. = 3.4 lbs. down, 2.6 to go to goal, and 2 weeks, so about 1.3 per week, I hope I reach goal by June 30th, if I don't I am okay as long as I'm not heavier than I am now lol. :p
As of June 17th I am 222.4 lbs. = 3.8 lbs. down, 2.2 to go to goal, and 13 days, I really hope I hit goal! <3 So geeked :).
As of June 24th I am 225.2 lbs. = 1 lb. down, and 5 lbs. to get to goal... I've had a couple of binge/overeating days, since that last weigh-in, but this seems to be PMS-related, so it is my prayer that most of what I gained (about 2.8 lbs.) goes away when my TOM kicks in later this week/beginning of next week. From where I am it doesn't look like I'll make my goal, but all hope is not lost, stranger things have happened ;).
As of June 26th I am 222.6 lbs. = 3.6 lbs. down, 2.4 to go to goal, and 4 days, I really hope I hit goal! <3 So geeked :).
As of June 30th I am 222.4 lbs. = 3.8 down. Didn't meet goal by 2.2 lbs. and I am actually ok w/that, I am so incredibly thankful to be where I am, the me 6 months ago would be so happy w/how far I've come :). God bless us all, let's keep going! :hug:

My June Goal: Back to where I was Minus another 3.
(...and try to stay positive...)

My goal for June is to lose 12 pounds. I'm hoping to knock that out pretty easily since I'm just getting started, but my last few rounds of weight loss didn't have the same beginners whoosh I used to get in my younger days, so I'm trying to keep it realistic.

SW: 336.4
GW: 324.4

Leah, glad to see you back! :hug:
Cakegirl, wow, that is a high goal! Wishing you the best! :cheers:
Delphi, I love that you are making checking in daily a part of your goal! Smart! :yes:
srjph, congrats on the baby! Good to have you join us! :welcome3:
MrsT15, :welcome2: Best wishes on your upcoming nuptials! And yes, 10 lbs is possible, especially if you're just starting out, but it will depend on your metabolism and how much water weight you're have to shed. Pretty much all diets begin with a "whoosh" of water weight. Good luck!
Boating, you'll get back there before you know it! Great job on eating chicken while others are eating ribs! :bravo:
Candid, 6 lbs is a great goal! You can do it! :cheer:
SeeMyFeet, we're here for you! :hug: What is 'where you used to be"?
Aclai, good luck! :crossed: Glad you're joining us!

Loved this last year as I was here and had great success until I started working and got totally derailed. .

I'm at 253.6. I would like to get to 245. So, 8.6 pounds. Sounds like a lot, but I'm just at the beginning and if history repeats, I'll drop quickly this first wee bit.

Thanks for doing this!

Thanks Jacqui! It's good to be back. I always did my best when I came on here for challenges and check-ins.

Hello!
Today I weighed in at 184.2 pounds (my lowest weigh in was a few days ago at 182.0). By July 1, my goal is to weigh 170lbs--which is 14.2/ 12 lbs. Now that I'm back from college I have a lot more time for exercise!

Yay it's June and a brand new thread. I am feeling really motivated to stay on track and finally take control of these indulgent weekends I have been having. Best of luck on your goals everyone!
I am still in for 10 lbs this month...hopefully I will actually see it this time!

Hi,
I'm new here, but would love to join the June challenge! I'm sitting on 84kg currently, so my goal for June is to hit 79kg :)

Okay, 177.4....I would really love to not see you again! Not setting my sights too high but any loss would be nice :P

Did pretty good at the family dinner yesterday. My mother-in-law made a huge fruit and veggie tray to go with the baked chicken. This morning I am trying to plan a week of dinners that the whole family will eat and will be healthy.

Hope everyone sticks to their guns today and stays on track! There's a lot of hard work ahead of us, but we can do it!!!:carrot: Happy June 1!:cool:

Happy Monday Chicks.

boatingmommy ~ :carrot: Great job with the family dinner. Those can be difficult as calories are a crap shoot. Good luck with the planning the dinners. That is just one area I can not stick with. I am a bit OCD with many things but planning what I eat, nope...just can't do it. Any tips?

NNS ~ I'm sending good vibes your way. I'm sure 177 is well within your reach. Good luck.

Ambience ~ :welcome: to our lovely group.

Noggs ~ You hit the nail on the head with me as well. Weekends are the killer of all the great work I do throughout the week. We will just have to be more mindful ..eh? Surely, we can find a way to batten down the hatches. Perhaps it is all the extra time?

hepzibah ~ :welcome: Glad to have you here.

berryblondeboys ~ Nice to see yet another familiar face. Glad your back.

Aclai4067 ~ Welcome to the challenge thread. I hear you on those losses being easier when we were younger. In my twenties, it didn't take much and the pounds seemed to just fall off. I guess we just have to work a little harder now, but its all worth it.

seemyfeet ~ Sending some :dust: your way. You CAN do this!!!

MrsT15 ~ :congrat: on the upcoming wedding. I know how stressful this time can be. I'm also in the process of planning a wedding, though we aren't getting married until March 2016. I understand. We will be here to support you every step of the way. Good luck with your goals.

Jacqui ~ Okay Miss, we all want to know the secret of your success. You freakin killed it last month. I just watched as those numbers decreased and I was like DANG. You rocked it. Inspiring. Thank you so much for being such a positive force and motivator for me. :hug:

Whew...lots of personals to get to. But as it is part of my goal this month, I am checking in today before work. Managed to get some walking in this morning but couldn't go outside. We have had sooo much rain in the past month though it was much needed. My flowers were starting to look a bit dry even with watering. But, I decided yesterday after not hitting my goal for May that I had in fact still hit 30 pounds lost, so I went and spent a little money on me. I bought new pair of running shoes and some clothes for vacation. Feeling pretty good as the month begins. My head is on straight again and I'm just going to channel my inner Jacqui and get this S&*t done this month. Alright, I gotta get off here and go make some money. Sure hope you guys have an excellent day and keep those smiles intact.

Hi everyone! I am back on the site after about a year, and unfortunately I gained about 20 pounds during that time. I am done with college for the summer, so no more excuses to stress eat, at least not for a few months.
My goal is to lose 10 pounds...sounds like a lot but I tend to lose a lot the first couple of weeks, so it should be doable. Keeping with a high goal will also help me stay motivated to get outside and exercise!

Hi

I would love to join the challenge :hat:

I am starting out at 173.8 and as I am going home for a visit for a week I have to be realistic about my goal for this month. So I am going to say 3 and hope for 4 :)

CW 173.8
GW 170.8

After a less-than-stellar weekend, my weight this morning was 85.35kgs. So, my goal for June is to get down to 84kgs -- a loss of 1.35 kgs (3 lbs).

Ok, I am in! I want to lost 10 lbs this month.

SW: 264.8
GW: 254.8

I am traveling at the end of the month and plan to stay on track! I am taking my slow cooker to make dinner in the hotel day. A challenge this will be!

Thanks for putting this together Joy. I barely missed last month's goal so I'm going to try harder this month! Once I get into the 140s I seem to only be able to lose around 2 lbs a month... but I'm going to push it, so my goal is 3.4 lbs

Delphi, lol! I'm doing a modified version of the Slow Carb Diet, and I'm just lucky that it works really well for me. Here's a link to the thread where I post my meals, etc.: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/othe...hread-3-a.html. The first post on this thread explains my plan. I stupidly got away from 3FC for a year :frypan: and came back and picked up posting on page 6 of the thread and I've posted everyday ever since. If there are any secrets, that's where you'll find them! :lol:
BerryBB, way to get going again! :carrot:
Leah, I hear ya! Me too! :yes:
Hepzibah, :welcome: Good idea to get that exercise going! :exercise:
Noggs, love the determination! Time to beat those weekends! :club:

Joy, yep, those weekends can be a bugger! :devil:
CatRN78, :welcome3: Great idea taking your crockpot! Good for you! :broc:
Turtle, you did great last month! :spin: Good luck this month!

Well howdy all you June Goal peeps! Thank you Joy for keeping track of us :)

I am going for the gold this month and shooting for 10 pounds. I have missed my last two goals by pretty small margins and this goal I am going to hit, I am determined! May's goal I missed by HALF A POUND! lol I gave my scale a seriously dirty look when I got on it cause I was 300.5 pounds after I had gone to the bathroom in the morning so I couldn't have asked for a better result. Since I have one of those super accurate weighted doctors scales (not the digital ones) I couldn't argue with it. lol

So, I wish everyone great luck for this month and LET'S DO IT!

My Motivational song of the month: RACHEL PLATTEN: Fight Song :ebike:

Jendestiny ~ You will see twonderland real soon. I chuckled at the dirty look thing. I have a bad habit of expletives being mumbled under my breath at mine..lol. Good luck with your goals this month. You are doing an amazing job thus far. :cheer:

jacqui ~ Thanks for the info. I'll check it out when I get a moment. Whatever it is, it surely is working wonders for you. What was the lost last month..20 pounds? A-MAZZZZE-ING.

Ambience ~ Ward? In a hospital? I used to work the night shift. Matter of fact, thats all I have worked up until this new job and finally got a day shift. Feels weird, but I am adjusting. Don't let the quiet drive you to eat though. What about a good book to pass the time?

LovelyLeah ~ Haha. Love me some meme's. They always give me a good laugh. THanks for sharing.

Turtle11 ~ Good luck. Any loss is a good thing. Be proud. I'm rooting for ya.

CatRN78 ~ Whew...a slow-cooker on vacation? Now there is some dedication. :bravo: I'm actually worried about our vacation but you have me thinking I can find some work-arounds like that. Thanks.

verywell and GordonGirl16 ~ :welcome: Glad to have you guys join us.

I just made the most beautiful breakfast. One egg omlet with on slice of cheese, roasted yellow pepper, mushrooms and asparagus. It was yummy. I'm working from home today and had time to cook. Yogurt and fruit for lunch. Going to the movies tonight and want just a little bit of that devilish theatre popcorn:devil:.

kelijpa -:wave: Hey girl! How about we get our butts out of the 170s? Don't know about you...but I feel I have been stuck here forever. At least we aren't gaining...but I sure would like to see a big drop.

:jig: Okay all you losers out there (and I mean that in the best way possible)...let's get pumped up and moving!!! Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning everyone. Well the day is off to a great start for me. I did get in a few miles and I was down another pound this morning. :carrot: Love the breakfast boatingmommy. I am a big fan of a simple egg sandwich. That is about what I eat every morning. One of those thin bagels, a piece of skim milk cheese and 1 egg. Low on calories and gets me going. In any case, you folks have a wonderful on-plan day. I know I sure will.
