Lose 5 Pounds a Month- June 2010 Challenge
Replies

I am going to get back to my exercise plan of working out at least 5 days a week. I also need to increase my water because I definitely am "hungrier" when I don't drink at least 8 glasses a day. As far as food goes, I am trying to get back to a modified (less strict) version of the diet I had to follow when I had gestational diabetes. I find that my body reacts well when I follow a Zoneish/Diabetic diet.
MFP SW 1/4/10: 197.4

GW for 6/30/10: 162
Ultimate goal weight: 1450 -

Hi, everyone! It is a very rainy and cold day here in Vienna, Austria. Hard to believe it is actually june.
So, my goal for june is to lose at least 5 pounds. I generally work out a lot (almost every day), but without dieting, the number on the scale will not go down.
That's why I am planning to reduce the carbs to a minimum, that seems to always do the trick in my case.
My biggest problem is to control myself not to eat or snack in the evening when i come home. It is not hard to stay disciplined during the day, evenings are hard - when you just want to relax, reward yourself after a hard long day...
so, have a great day everyone! looking forward to losing those pounds together!0 -
I'm back in for another month!
I had great plans to start calorie cycling yesterday ( Tuesday would have been a low cal day since the week-end was high), that got blown to hell! Got invited to Chili's for an unexpected celebration dinner with some friends, OMG over a 1000 calories for a grilled chicken sandwich (on a wheat bun, no mayo) and a salad ( and I only dipped my fork in the dressing), and I drank water with lemon. GRRRRRR...
Oh well today is another day!

Good morning to all!
It is good to see that you have a plan to reach your goals.
I am not good at planning ahead for my food for the day so today I am going to log everything right now and hold myself accountable to that meal plan for the day!
Have a great day! Drink your water! Eat healthy and get up and move!

Good for you! I'm in the Ozarks myself, down in Branson.
I'm so jealous. You must be taller than me because I'm down to a size 20-22 and I'm at 214.5 lbs. It's just no fair being short!0 -
Count me in!!
SW= 202.50 -
I am barely 5ft 5in.. my weight is probably carried in a different place than yours.. sometimes that makes a difference. My hips are my widest. I carry a lot of my fat(aside from in the hips/butt/tummy area) in my arms and I hate it!! I just got into a size 18 this morning, so we'll see how it is when it's mid afternoon and I'm sweaty, I'll probably have to pull out the other size. Good luck to you on your journey. XoxoxoX Bru
PS, I finished my W1D2 Couch to 5k and it was sooo much better than yesterday! Then I went on a 2mile walk I'm beat!!0 -
I am so in. I just started back on here and this sounds great.

Starting weight for June 212 lbs. I am actually hoping for 5 lbs this first week as I am coming off of a food filled Memorial Day weekend. My actual goal for June is 10lbs. What a great challenge! a monthly challenge is great anyone can have a good week but staying consistant monthly should keep everyone working hard!
June SW 212
end of June GW 202
Best wishes to everyone this month!!0 -
This month I NEED to stop thinking I can eat whatever on the weekends! I do great all week and totally blow it on the weekend! I need to be meticulous about logging everything I eat. When I don't, then I tend to overeat. This month I am adding a treadmill workout to my usual workouts. I do a lot of DVD exercising, but I usually feel like I get a good workout this way. I also have a Gazelle Edge but I will probably retire this since I have a treadmill now. For some reason the Gazelle sometimes hurts the ball of my left foot.:frown: To lose 5 lbs. this month I will eat less and continue working out 5 days a week.0

I would like to join this challenge.
When I started using MFP I weighed in at 143 lbs. I am now 141, so making five this month would put me around 137!! I graduate in a couple of weeks and that means celebrations. If I can make this goal that would really prove something...to me at least ;-)!0 -
I'm in...
Starting weight 176
