Hey everyone and welcome once again to another Kickin' *kitten* Challenge!
It's JUNE and can you believe we've made it this far? That's month NINE of our challenges and still going strong. Lots of folks seemed to drop out in the last month or so, or are "kicking around" but not really actively participating. Life gets in the way - Don't I know it - but let's not lose sight of our goals! Keep posting 'em and stay on track. Whether you update with us regularly or not, make sure that you always keep your own personal goals on the radar and take time each day to dedicate to your own health and well-being. You deserve it!
For those of you unfamiliar with our challenges...
This group/forum is an on-going conversation between motivated, dedicated and totally kick-*kitten* young people all working towards their own individual goals. Each month we are tasked with setting reasonable and attainable goals for ourselves and then checking-in with the group periodically, either to post questions or advice, update on your own personal progress, or provide support and encouragement for those of us that struggle with the everyday stresses and ups & downs of our journey toward healthier living.
Here's how it works:
1) As our veteran members (and newbs alike) sign onto the challenge once again, a list like the one found at the bottom of this post will start forming. This is our “goals list”. If you want to join the challenge, we ask that you copy and paste the most up-to-date list and tag your own screen name and goals to the bottom – this is so that we can keep things moving along and no one gets left behind! (If you notice that someone's been left off, due to a high volume of posting, please incorporate their goals back into the list whenever possible.)
2) Set attainable and realistic goals! I cannot stress this enough, and we will regularly be posting PSAs (as always) to this effect, but I am going to throw it out there right now just so that we're clear. This group is dedicated to supporting healthy living, first and foremost, and that includes physical, emotional and mental health. So set goals that you know you can reach, with hard work and persistence, and find ways to celebrate small victories whenever you can. This will help you stay motivated and on track! We recommend setting some non-scale goals along with a scale goal if you are trying to lose weight – seeing progress in your fitness, your measurements and your diet is a great way to celebrate small changes in your life that make a HUGE difference. Be flexible, know that things aren't going to go perfectly as planned every day, and allow some wiggle room for a bad day here and there. We all have them!
3) Once your goals are posted, stay active and enjoy the benefits of this awesome community. Oh, and invite your 20-something friends! Let's keep this group moving, ladies and gentleman!
But before all of that.... Here's the list of May goals. How did you do? Reach your goals? Still have things to work on? Did challenges arise throughout the month that you weren't expecting? And how did your goals change over the month? I want to hear about it!

millie - great goals but be careful about trying to eat clean 100% of the time - some days we just can't manage that! make sure it's a reasonable goal for you and allow some wiggle room. there are always going to be circumstances we cannot control
DTetz - just follow the instructions in the first post - decide on some goals, copy and paste the list, and add yours to the end :bigsmile: Then get to work on them!

Ok here we go:
mkingraham (Megan)- get down to 208, strength train at least 2 times a week, run 3 times a week
Well this morning I weighed in at 211.5. I have been bouncing around the 210-211 area these past couple of weeks and I think its due to all of the visitors I've had the past couple of weeks, and its TOM so that doesn't help. But either way I feel pretty good about that. As far as strength training goes, I did it maybe 1 time a week, giant fail again, but I did run 3 times a week so yeah!!
I am really pushing myself to refocus and reenergize so I'm going to do the no scale challenge. I am super nervous about it, but whatever happens, happens. I have a competition that is ending on Friday so I will weigh-in again on Friday and then that's it until July 1. I am also considering switching my weigh-in days to Wednesday because weighing in on a Monday is a little depressing.
DTetz- Just copy and paste the newest list of the June goals into a new post in this thread and your off!!
