Hi Ladies. I gained a lot of weight with my last two pregnancies. MFP has helped me lose more than I had expected, but I still need to keep working at it. It isn't about losing the weight anymore, it's more getting out and doing things I wouldn't have tried before. Last month I tried Zumba.... and I love it.

This month I am going to work on a walking to running plan. I'm thinking one of the 30 day challenges. The FB group I just joined is doing Squats(OUCH) But hey... no pain no gain right??

I just copied what i put in the Intro for the May Challenge group! So excited to keep this group going!!! :flowerforyou:

>>> I live in a VERY SMALL town in Southern Indiana....we don't even have a stop light! I've been married for 4.5 yrs - second marriage for both of us. I have two step-kids - boy (almost 15 yrs old - SHEW... the teenager years are a bear already!!!!) and a girl (who turned 11 yrs old a couple of weeks ago). I don't have any children of my own... just a yellow lab - Baxter.

I work in Sales and Marketing.... I'm sure some of you will snarl at my position. I'm used to it... I travel at least 4 times a year for my job.... I've only been in this position for a little over a year. My last job I was at for 10 years.... so things are still really new and stressful!

I started Turbo Jam about 3 weeks ago... I LOVE IT!! I also have an elliptical and weight machine in our basement.... and now that it's nice I've been walking with my lab and riding my bike SO I"M Looking forward to SWEATING AND BURNIN' SOME BUTTER in JUNE!! WHOOOOP!!! WHOOOOOP!!!! Looks like some of you will be BURNING way more calories than me ... but that's OK.

I'm hoping to burn 1,500 a week.... actually I'm hoping to "BLOW THAT OUTTA DA WATA" but we'll see.

Hello Ladies,

So nice to read all your messages. It is nice to know I have support here. I will try and do the same for you. (feel free to add me)

I'm really upset that my friends and family call me fat. I'm 8-10 kilos above my weight range and not obese! I want to be photographed without inhibitions and look good.

May has been challenging and I haven't done so well. I've been on a plateau for 3-4 months now. I lose a kilo and gain that back when I stop my diet and exercise. I will break that barrier in June.

My June month goal is to lose 2-3 kilos (~5-6 lbs). I know it's possible and will be hard, but what's life without challenges? (too cliche, sorry )

Stay strong.

Hello everyone!!!

I am from Oklahoma, 31 years old and have 2 kiddos that drive me insane : ) and keep me very very busy. About a month ago I decided to change my life and get in shape and change how I eat. It was a cold turkey kind of move in that I woke up one morning and just pressed play (literally). my husband had been doing P90X for a couple of years and when I woke up that morning I was on a mission and just popped in the dvd and started. It was hard and I had to modify almost everything, except for the stretching I was able to do that on my own.....ok I take that back I had to modify that too ; ) but seriously I did....

But now I am on Day 30 Phase 2 and feeling great! Although I am only down 6 lbs since I started it I have lost a couple of inches in there too. I think most importantly I just overall FEEL good, I have energy and I even noticed that I am smiling more. I still have a long way to go to reach my goal and it is going to take some time. but this time I am motivated and serious about sticking to it.

My goal for june is to get under the big 200, my nemesis, I can always get close but never cross over!!! I am at 205 right now, so I can almost taste it : )

I look forward to being in the group and giving as well as receiving encouragement.

Hi everyone
I am 27 years old and I have been battling with my weight all my life but I now seem to be making progress over the last couple of years. I would confess that it is tough but I am glad to have a forum such as MFP to get my fitness goal achieved.

This June challenge I am really looking forward to.. My birthday is June 10th so I am taking this as an extra commitment to continue my journey to fitness...whooo hooooooo

Looking forward to your support and I will be here as well to support you all.

My name is Christi, from Texas. I have never been tiny but growing up I wasn't "big". In college I started gaining weight and ended up gaining 130 pounds in the ten years after high school. So now I am working on getting back down to a healthy weight.

I am starting an ab challenge and maybe a squat challenge for June. I do better with challenges and want to continue to push myself. I haven't set a calories burned goal for June (still trying to reach Mays lol).

Anyone is free to add me as a friend. Today was my 150th log in day in a row!! I am consistant with my logging! Good luck everybody!

Hi everybody, I'm Suzanne from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I'm 41, engaged to a great man, have 2 stepdaughters (16 and 13) and LOVE to cook and eat. I joined MFP because I hit maximum density of almost 240 lbs at 5'8". I'm currently 190 and my goal is 160. I'm trying to make the lifestyle change of healthier eating, less drinking and more activity - so I can eat & drink more!

I'm similar; I sometimes feel I only want to do exercise so I can eat more
Hardest for me is to not drink and forget about tracking my calories when I'm out on the weekends... Whoops!

Hello everyone. My name is Mary, I'm from southwestern Ontario, Canada. I have been with my spouse for just over 8 years, no children, but two fairly active dogs. We live in a small town with a great group of friends that keep us entertained.

I lost just over 40lbs since joining this site, most of it was last fall and I have basically plateaued since early winter. I'm hoping this challenge will help me ramp up my workouts to start up the weight loss again.

My goal in May was 20,000 which I was able to meet so for June I am going to attempt 23,000 calories burned.

Hi everyone!

I'm M from Finland and I'm turning 27 tomorrow wohoo~

My goal for June is 19200, that's 4800 cals a week.

Hello Turtles!

I'm April and I'm 44 (I'll be turning 45 during this challenge!) and a mother of four and grandma to one. I'm not sure how a grandma is supposed to feel but I know I'm not quite ready for a rocking chair just yet! I also work nights as a nurse and I am constantly working to keep myself healthy in spite of my schedule.

I didn't quite meet my goal last month but I think it is a good number to work toward so I am going for 8000 cals burned in June.

I finished the May challenge strong with 17,245/16,000!

June's goal is 584 calories a day or 17,500.

Hey everyone, I'm here and happy to be!! Thanks Ashley for setting up these groups. I am so happy that the focus has shifted, though I do love a healthy competition. lol I am in need of the total focus, exercise, food accountability and weight loss. The scale has been stuck so Im hoping this will give me the boost I need! I will be checking in and looking forward to hearing from my MFP friends!!
