Welcome and Introductions (May 31st.)

1013carl

This Group and Topic are a continuation from the May group named “10lbs. By June”.

Where it all Started? It was a jay_taay idea, so all credit to her…
It appears that DEPick who originally built the site has deactivated his MFP account.

Anyone wanting to participate is welcome to join the group. Our goal is “10lbs By July”
Please make a posting here and introduce yourself!

In the group there are 2 topics to start with. One for posting your “Daily Workouts”, and the other one for you to post your “Weekly Weigh-Ins”.

Take it from there and add as needed. Any other related topics or member discussions are encouraged.

Enjoy yourselves, help each other, and Good Luck to you!

Hello, I just joined MFP about a month ago. I joined the original 10lbs by June group and met many great members .

I took the mindset to begin taking baby steps.... my SW- 206, my CW= 197, my CGW=186, my UGW=180...
So far I'm right at the 10 lb. mark and I did it last month walking, biking and watching the calories. For the first time ever in my life.

I thought being 196 lbs. five weeks in would be enough for me to be motivated for quite a while.

So I'm ready to double up and take the challenge again!

Count me in for this challenge, I found the one in May to be very beneficial and was helped by the great support and encouragement, hopefully June will be just as successful.

I'm in again too!
There are going to be a lot of changes for me this month, including not being able to prepare my own food from now on, not being able to weigh it, not getting time for my workouts every now and then etc. So I'm going to see how much I've learned abut portion sizes and 'making time' in the past couple of months. It's going to be trial and error mostly, but I hope to find the right balance.

Thanks Carl for starting the new challenge. I joined the end of April and was a bit skeptical at first, but came to love this site. I enjoy reading other member stories, they're very encouraging.....looking forward to July...Happy losing everyone.

I'm new to the challenge; count me in! I was able to get back to my pre- 2nd baby weight by his first birthday in March, but I'm still 10 lbs above my weight before my first. He turns 4 in July, so it is time! I have more to lose from there, but hitting this mark will make me very happy!

I look forward to seeing everyone's hard work pay off:)

Thanks!

Hey I'm Izzy. I have 75lbs to lose in total so I know it will be a long journey. But I have a friends wedding in July where I am a bridesmaid along with 2 other friends who happen to be avid runners; we are all wearing the same style dress so I want to look as good as I can when next to them. My SW was 17st3 and my CW is 15st11. If I can get 10lbs more off by July I will be a very happy bunny.

I have a long ways to go but know I'll get there this time. I've tried other diets and always ended up quiting. I didn't know much about dieting but now I do and hopefully that will help out.

Hi, my name is Katherine and I've been using MFP pretty diligently since December 2013, but have tracked my calories on and off for several years. I started out in 2006 using Spark People and lost almost 40 pounds, but then I went back to school (working a full-time job can make being conscious of your calories so much easier!). So I'm basically back where I was right before I went to grad school and I'm hoping to get fit in a reasonable and healthy way. I'm biking to work everyday, and running long (for me it's 7-9 miles) on the weekends, although I'm hoping to fit more runs during the week too. Also, I'm getting married in almost exactly a year. I don't want to be the cliche, but I want to be as fit as possible for that event. My family is also on MFP and we are trying to keep each other accountable, even though we live far apart. These last couple of weeks, I've been maintaining my weight, so I would like to start seeing progress again this summer.

Hi everyone! Shout out to Carl, thanks for making this group for June weight loss! I loved the May challenge and even though I didn't lose 10lbs it was great to be accountable and have the awesome support of everyone in the group.

My name is Teressa and I'm aiming to lose 50 lbs total. I've lost about 12.5 so far and hoping that I can get closer to the end goal with this challenge. Also am going camping at a lake for 4th of July and would love to be in the 170s rocking a bikini!

tyana223cutie

Hi everybody. I'm Sylvia and get getting back with MFP today. Like the motivation this group has and glad to be able to join.

Didn't do well in the May challenge. I'm hoping to get my act together and see some results for June. I lost 10 pounds last Nov & Dec but have since put them back on( well most of them) and am having trouble breaking through the barrier to stay under 200 pounds.

aseymour13

Just found this and I'm in if you dont mind. I joined MFP about a year ago. started off great, fell off the wagon for awhile for no good reason. a lot of excuses since then - some acceptable most not but anyway. I'm starting at square one - reset my weight and all and away I go.

Im Ann. 58 yrs old. Live in the Los Angeles area. CW - 191 - GW - 145 - 150. I fractured my hip a few years ago and had replacement surgery. Its been work -mental & -physical to get back at it. Love to walk, cycle, play golf and garden. I love the idea of 10 lbs a month. I'm around a lot. Love to give support. I normally weigh in on Sundays but did weigh this morning so the above is accurate.

Some great stories here. Look forward to getting to know everyone and keeping it going
Have a great day and let's go!!!!!!

H, I'm Franny. Just restarted MFP. I will be 31 in a week and my goal is to start being healthier and happier! I'm tired of excuses and being lazy and unhappy with my appearance. I've lived my whole life being heavier than all my friends. I'm tired of being sad and frustrated trying on and buying clothes. I do better with teams and groups than alone. Thank you for creating this group.

Hi! I'm Ashley and I'm new to MFP. My daughter turned two years old last month and I am finally motivated to lose the rest of the baby weight around my stomach. I'm turning 30 in August and I want to start making healthier lifestyle choices. I want to be strong and have energy to chase my toddler around. I'm excited to join this group and see what we can all do this month and beyond! Good luck to everyone!

I've never been part of a fitness website before but here goes. I have a long way to go but 10 lbs at a time sounds like a great way to start. I look forward to starting this new journey.

bizgirl26

I lost 64 pounds back in 2007. So far after rejoining this site since April I have been doing well. It is always a struggle but I am determined to be at my GW which is 71 pounds away by May 2015

This looks like the group for me. I am ready for accountability.

cj27e

In 2012' I lost 27 pounds using MFP, and working out with a personal trainer for four months. I have slowly gained most of it back. I will be 51 at the end of August , and would like to lose 30 by my birthday, and continue losing about 10 lbs per month until the end of the year. I have a four year old daughter and eleven year old son, and really need to become my best healthy self before it is too late.

Dana121970

Hi, everybody. My name is Dana. I would love to lose 10 lbs by July. I am going to see my brother in NM and my ex-in laws in KS in July and while I certainly won't be skinny by then lol..I would feel better just knowing I was actually on the right health path before leaving for vacation. My CW is about 265 which I guess is also my SW:) My CGW is 252. Starting small with a 5% weight loss and then I will take it from there. I think my UGW will be 135? Maybe? I've never been that small, but I'm only 5'3" so to be out of the obese and overweight ranges I think that is what I will aim for eventually, but for now 10lbs is my focus I'm looking to make some friends on this site to help me with this journey and that I can hopefully help in return. I've always tried losing weight on my own and I have never been successful so I am putting myself out there this time and trying to align myself with some like minded friends. Please send me a friend request if you are interested in becoming friends.

smh219

Hi everyone! My first time in a group like this, nice to meet you all I am trying to lose 50-60 lbs. I feel like I have yet to get "serious" about it. I have a caloric goal, macros, etc, but for some reason it is just becoming harder and harder to stay connected to it. I hope that joining this group will make me feel more connected and accountable. Hope to learn more about everyone else's goals and share in their losses too!

Bebubble

Hi everybody! My name is Belinda. I have been here seriously since Sept 13'. My goal is to lose 80lbs. Which I have lost 36lbs so far.
And it would be so awesome if I could lose 10lbs by July! I have a bad thyroid and old age against me. But I am still plugging along! In March and April I gained 8 lbs BUT in May I lost 8lbs. I found Quest bars! And they are too YUMMY. I have quit them suckers! So I know I can do this! I only weigh my self every 2 weeks. I do not want to obese over the scale! And I would if I weigh myself every week!
