As promised, here is a thread for the June challenge/goal share
Monthly challenges are a great way of breaking down your goals and feeling part of a community at the same time. The general idea is that there are no rules, you set your goals for the month be they exercise or weight loss or healthy eating or something else and then we check in with each other once a week with how we are going. Our final check in is on the 1st of the following month when we can reflect on our outcomes and hopefully celebrate!
That all said my goals for this month are...
-Loose 2kg (4.4lbs)
-Run 90kms (56 miles)
-Swim 16kms (10 miles)
What are yours?

Hi everyone,
How are you all going with your goals?
After one week I am feeling pretty good with where I am at...
-I've lost 0.8 of the 2kg I'm aiming for this month
-Run 28km/90kms
-Swam 1.7/16kms
Yay!!0 -
I've lost 3 out of the 7 pounds
The last night of May when I set the push-up and sit-up goal I did 20 push ups and felt great.... the next morning I couldn't lift my arms. It didn't get better until a few days ago so I guess that goal may have been unrealistic for me. I'll probably start doing push-ups and sit-ups again on a smaller scale.0 -

I highly recommend the runtastic push up and sit up apps (and the squats one actually)
they give you increasing sets to do, I started back in february doing about 10 push ups spread into 2 3, 3, 2 or something like that.
Now I am doing 96 in total 32,22,18,14,10 so its really a great way to build up and get stronger
great job on the 3 lbs!0 -
congrats one the progress, guys :drinker: it's inspiring
i'm about halfway. i have exactly 2 lbs to go so i feel like i got this
i'm debating starting couch to 5k as well. 0 -

I think its technically another running site but i have that covered already with nike+ and mapmyrun so just use it for the apps which are fantastic. you can start out with the free version for level one and then if you like it upgrade to the pro version like i did. let us know how you got on0 -
Another lb for me and keeping consistent with the gym. Happy with my progress.0
