Hey I fancied a bit of motivation for the month of June, I go away on holiday on the 30th so I thought how about a June Weight Loss challenge..................people can join but I am going to do it for myself anyway:smile:

Simple, if you want to make yourself a personal goal for the month of June - weight loss and see how we can all help each other.

I appreciate that people have different weigh in dates (mine being Wednesdays), so you can come by once and week or daily (upto you) and update the stats. Just remember to copy and paste the last stats then edit your own, easy peasy:wink:

Come on ladies & gents lets help each other:drinker:

Goal:-

JoJo_69 - To Loose a total of 14lbs

    Im in. This is exactly what I was looking for. I got on this morning and searched for a challenge but found nothing to my liking. Now, this posting found me. It's a blessing.

    I would like to become motivated to start losing again. It's been a year since I committed. I'm ready to give it a try again.

    :happy: Thanks:smile:

    I'm somewhat new here. I've had the account for a month or so, but it's been hit or miss with being diligent about it. I figured the challenge would make me more accountable. I would like to lose 10 pounds by July 1st! Here are my stats...

    Current weight: 222
    Weight by July 1st: 212:wink:

    Hello all! My name is Anna. I started my weight loss journey last June. I have gotten derailed and gained more than I would like to admit. I am no longer going to focus on that. I am going to focus on what I have still lost and what I am going to continue to lose. I weighed in this am at 246. I am going to keep my goal low. For the simple fact that I want to make sure it is something I can acchive. I don't want another bummer and set back... ya know. So I am setting my goal of 6lbs for the month of June. If I surpass it.. woo Hoo. When I make my goal of 6lbs WOOOOT WOOOT. :)

    Starting weight 246
    Goal 240

    6lbs loss

  • yes, this is perfect! everytime i start posting on these challenge threads i never stay committed, but i was already planning on making june a power month for me, after losing focus for a few weeks i'm really going to try start seeing the scale move, so this june challenge is perfect! decided on tweaking my exercise a bit and working towards a newer, healthier mind-set when it comes to food. hope i can do it! good luck everyone :]

    i'm going to set my goal at 5 pounds, and i'll be weighing in on either thursday or friday every week :]

    SW: 167 lbs
    GW: 162 lbs

    if i can reach this goal that'll put me only 2 pounds away from my goal that i planned to meet by the end of AUGUST! how exciting will it be if i exceed my goal by then! the more pounds i shed by then, the better! hope this keeps me motivated :]

    JoJo thank you thank you thank you for the challenge.

    Thought it would be kinda nice to get to know a bit about everyone if we are spending the next month together…lol.
    I’ll go first:
    I turned 40 in January and I look and feel better than I have in years. 40 IS FABULOUS!!!! I have three beautiful daughters 10, 8 and 5. Been married for 12 years, but we have been together for 22 years and have known each other since kindergarten (meant to be I guess). He is the most amazing man I have ever met and I thank my lucky stars every day we are together. (note to self…tell him more often how important he is to me) lol. We have a 1.5 year old dog (Rat Terrier) named Juno who is absolutely NUTSO, but she is getting better with training sessions. I am in Beautiful British Columbia Canada, have lived here my entire life, and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I work part time and I COMPLETELY and UTERLEY enjoy my life.

    Back in 2004 I lost 60lbs with WW, but 25 of those lbs came creeping back on. So since October 2009 I have lost 29lbs. I am at my lowest weight since…..well EVER. I am aiming for another 7lbs. I would LOVE to be 135lbs.

    I was in a car accident on April 6th and what a ride that has been considering it was a low impact crash. (I got rear ended). But I did have a concussion and whip lash. So lots of physio. Still having some pretty severe headaches too. Anyway it has been a journey.

    I am LOVING this site (and free too). I just joined a few days ago, but I did input all my previous weight loss.

    I am going to aim for 5lbs lost by the end of June. Hopefully I can get there as I am doing NO exercise what so ever because of my accident.

    Starting Weight-142.8lbs
    Goal Weigh t-137.8lbs
    5lbs to lose.
    Good luck everyone, and looking forward to getting to know all of you. Feel free to friend request too.

    Hello Everyone!

    My name is Aimee. I have been on MFP for 120 days! whoohoo...I love it. I have lost 13lbs since I started here on February 1. I am 5'3 and currently 134.2 lbs. I am 24 yrs old and an elementary teacher. I have always been an active person, involved in many sports growing up and all through high school and even college. I never had to worry too much about what I ate because I was so active. After I stopped swimming competitively, I gained a lot of weight. On a 5'3 frame there isn't many places the weight can hide!! I started running small distances off and on a couple years ago but this year I have a bigger incentive...my wedding day! I am getting married on August 7th. I started running in January and have run 293.45 miles so far in 2010:) I just completed my first half-marathon in May!! I am feeling so much better about myself and can't wait to get the last 4 (or more) lbs off in JUNE!! I am here for support...we can do this!! :)

    Starting weight: 134.2
    Goal weight: 130

    I'm part of a group on here called June Starters, which began last June 1st. It's coming back around to June again and our numbers have waned, so all of you feel free to come on over and join our ranks! There's about 10 of us still keeping up with it, and we would love to add more during our month anniversary! :) All you have to do is go search for June Starters in the search bar and it will come up with us. We always do a new post every Monday, so look for today's (possibly tm's date b/c it's a holiday) date and join up! :flowerforyou:

    This sounds like the perfect place for me. I've been on MFP for a few weeks now but can't seem to get it together. I lost 40 pounds back in 2004-2005 and I've stayed pretty fit since then finishing 2 half marathons, completing P90X, but these last 6 months I've gotten away from my running and have been doing a lot of emotional eating. My youngest daughter has bipolar and it's been a real battle since last fall, and I think I've let it get the best of me. I feel like I'm sinking, and I absolutely need to get on top of this. My oldest daughter asked me to start a weight loss challenge with her starting tomorrow so this will be perfect. I will post my starting weight tomorrow (not looking forward to that) and then weigh in every Tuesday. I'm planning to get back to my running more this first week and the following week I will be starting the Insanity program hoping to shake things up and maybe get that spark back. I will turn 40 next January, and my goal is to finish my first full marathon next March.

    Good luck everyone and thanks JoJo for getting this going.

    Goal Weight: 135 (hoping to get there before my next half marathon in November).

    Mini goals: Run 11-15 miles weekly.
    Complete Insanity.
    Eat clean!
    Finish my 3rd half marathon in November.

    Long-Term Goal: Run Marathon March 2011.

    Hi!

    This group seems to be growing very quickly but I would love to join as well!

    I've been finding it really hard to stay on track and could use the extra accountability. I like the idea of this group being about logging in with your own personal goals. So many of the groups are very specific and I've found it hard to find one that fits all my different goals! Now I can put them all in one place!

    My goals for June;

    goal 1 - lose 2lbs per week. I am about 128lbs so this would put me around 120lbs at the end of the month.
    goal 2 - successfully complete weeks 2 - 5 of the victoria half marathon training program. I started this two weeks ago, but had a
    lapse last week and didnt do aaannnyyy running. I just broke up with my boyfriend of two years and spend the week
    partying instead. (oops!)
    goal 3 - no alcohol!

    I will join!!!!!

    I am at 139 lbs and my goal is to get to 120 lbs. But I don't think it's attainable in a month. But I would love to get to 132 lbs by end of this months which is a 7 lbs loss. I am currently at a weight loss plateau and the scale is been mean to me. I think it's because I increased the amount of protein and exercise building more muscles that weigh me down more. But please I would love to have people motivate me.

    Thanks :)

    Hey nadine2unfit2bqueen, I will certainly do that. I don't actually start my HM training until next month, but right now I just need to get back to 11 miles weekly! I've really fallen off the proverbial treadmill if you will over these last few months so I'm going to need to make up for lost time. My husband and I have run the last 2 Battleship North Carolina HM's here in Wilmington, we sort of made it our tradition so we would always have a reason to stay fit. I'm hoping to keep up with him this year :smile:

    Good luck in your training. It's absolutely worth it in the end!
