New month knocking on the door, new challenge.
This month's theme comes to you courtesy of @kfat1
Excellent idea!
The challenge starts tomorrow. So go ahead and post your goals, whether it be nailing down plan basics, increasing your fitness, or adopting healthy habits. A few of you suggested a jumping jack challenge for yourselves. Anything is fair game as long as it's in pursuit of your health or fitness.
Jump on in!

HI Everyone- Long time lurker, first time poster.
I'm brand new to this way of eating, but am really enjoying it so far. For the month of June, my overarching goal is to learn how to eat this way when I am thrown curveballs. I have a trip to China and one to Europe for business this month, so there will be plenty of curveballs to navigate through!
Since I am home this week, my week 1 goal will be to keep net carbs below 30 every day, and to go to yoga 5x this week.
Looking forward to hitting goals with all of you!13 -
I only have one goal for this month, and it was one I set for myself back in the winter:
- Be at or under 250 lbs by the summer solstice.

First time posting. I love to read everything, but time to speak. My goal for June is to stay focused. Not let other people make me feel bad about my choice of foods and take it day by day.
Ready!11 -
This week officially starts my second month on vegetarian keto! My goal for this month is to excersise more often, and try to not let my job get me down. I am in the middle of a career change right now. I used to binge eat when I was super stressed about something, but I'll turn that stress into workout fuel and remember to KCKO! ♡♡♡ Good Luck everyone!8

I keep starting and then having a bad/unlogged day (not always the same, I have some good low carb days not logged). So my goal for June is to stay below 50 g net carbs (I'm usually lower, but that seems to allow for a bit more fruit as it will be coming into season) and to log every day.6
-
I'm jumping into the final month of P90X3, which is usually where I loose steam and quit, so my biggest goal for June is to FINISH!7
-
All right -- I like this. In addition to Aqua Fitness classes, my June goal is to step jack 15 minutes while watching Jeopardy. Uh-oh what have I gotten myself into!3
-
Put mine in the wrong thread. Walking and yoga are my goals. I'm adding Leslie Sansone to the mornings followed by a few yoga poses.5
-
Ok, I'm in this month. I am just under my goal weight, just got here. Goal is to stay under my goal weight through the month, so I am under 141 lbs. on my birthday, July 2. A 6 day trip with my two sisters will be the most challenging. I will stay in ketosis (blowing .05 or higher on my breathalyzer) while I am gone to aide staying at the lower weight.3
-
Ok, I'm in, my goal is to do step jacks each day increasing as I'm able.2
-
The most important ones for me:
* YAYOG 3x/wk (will have to figure this out when we're traveling since I follow the DVD ...
* keep weight in maintenance range (also may be more challenging while traveling!)3 -
Mark's Daily Apple has a June 30 days-30 actions plan. I'm taking some of his ideas and tweaking with my own (spend a day on the water, find a good dark chocolate, clean out Master closet and garage, add rosemary/sage/mint aromas at home, visit a farmer's market, sit outside at night). Also adding a daily slow walk and 5x a week 20 min low impact Body Project workout. We started LCHF on May 1, so have a month under out belt. We were trying not to exercise too much the first month so we could control cravings, but I'm missing the "me/quiet" time. Also trying some new recipes from the recipe thread I found here.

I think I'm gonna do this. I am 2.8 pounds away from my two year goal so I'm going to hit 200lbs on the scale for the first time in a long time. With a week long vacation coming up this month, I want to remain dedicated throughout most of the trip. Usually, I put on 7-8 pounds when I'm at the beach and I come back soft and lazy. I wanna do SOME form of exercise will I'm there and don't add more than 1-2 pounds (gotta have some fun, right?)

I've been maintaining weight and strength pretty good with LC (75-100g), but I want to shed some bf by my b-day in august. So my goals for this month (and next frankly).
1. 50g carb max (back to basics!)
2. workout 2x week on the road & 4x week at home.7 -
Love reading these fantastic goals & I'm cheering everyone on!
My goal is to keep up with 3x week exercise I started at the beginning of May & daily 16:8 IF I started mid-May. I'm down about 18 lbs since March & if I can continue to lose at least 4 pounds a month consistently I will be a happy camper. (I'm 35 pounds from goal weight but I don't know if that's my final goal til I get there & see what that looks like).9 -
Can "whatever I have to promise him to get my husband to paint the house" be a goal?13
-
Jump into June with a recommitment to killer keto, as i did it initially. ( when i was melting away fat) All in!
Top priority. No excuses.
So far one day is under my belt. Totally killed it! Yay me.10 -
Good thing its not officially started. I didnt go to bed. Had 45 carbs not 21. Still low carb but not keto... and that is not effecctive for me to lose weight. Tomorrow I shoot for 21 Carbs. That and calorie counting are critical for my success.4

My jump in for June ..... Jump back on that waggon! I fell off a long time ago, now is the time to get back to it.
My goal for June is consistent logging....I will look at numbers next month7 -
1 LS mile in. 5 yoga poses. I won't be able to get my lunch walk I today so I may need to go to the gym this evening.3
-
My one is keep all the changes I've made in the last month since starting in MFP. I've always been a good starter, my challenge is to make it a lifestyle and in June I want to make it happen! My pledge :-)5

My June challenge:
As @bluets2011 stated:
Expand my food choices by adding new recipes and CHEESE (maybe...lol)bluets2011 wrote: »keep all the changes I've made in the last month
Start exercising regularly- I think I'll get into Jillian Michaels Body Revolution (now that my right heel has had time to heal)
Track weight and measurements

Well I woke up with what appears to be a pulled muscle in my left ribcage so that's not how I want to Jump into June but here we are! lol...so onto goals:
1.Continue maintaining weight
2.Exercise regularly...last month I focused on Hammer & Chisel for resistance but this month I think I'm doing mostly 22 Minute Hard Corp which is more circuit training. Also of course trail runs.
3. Continue home overhaul.
4. Do more outdoorsy stuff3 -
I set up an old tv and dvd player in my son's room after he moved out but it had no curtains so I never used it for working out. Picking up my new curtains today and jumping back into morning workouts tomorrow.
Also jumping back into using my fitbit now that I fixed my home computer issues and got it synced. Aiming for 6000 steps most days and 9000 when I take kickboxing classes.
Lastly I'm helping a friend jump back into healthy habits now that she is recovered from knee surgery. Starting with a walk in the park, bringing her dog with us.4 -

I don't know what to do with myself. Just keep on being the harda$$ I've been trying to be as of late? Working out every day. Strength 3x a week, walks, cardio, or HIIT on the other days. I'd like to up my weights, but I have a ceiling I can't break. And it's dumb but DH refuses to let me get heavier dumbbells or KBs. I'll just have to do more reps when I get there. *insert epic eyeroll* "You're gonna get all bulky." PWAHAHAHAAA! He's super intelligent, but I think it's a mental block. Maybe he just doesn't want me to get stronger than him. I have up to a 30lb KB, so if push comes to shove I can do single-arm work with it, but that things is God-awful awkward. And of course I can put multiples of them in a backpack for leg work. But I like to follow videos, it's easy and keeps me compliant. I get bored with things easily. I have a set of heavier adjustable dumbells picked out for when he changes his mind.2

I'm restarting keto today. My goals are: workout 3x week, stay under 20 carbs, and drink 2 liters water every day. Even if I make mistakes I will keto on. Here goes nothing...4

Good luck @TrixaW! Be sure to read the info in "The Launch Pad" if you haven't already. Especially the info about increasing sodium (unless you have a medical reason not to in which case you might want to re-think keto). Eating very low carb results considerable water loss from the body and electrolytes go with water loss so there is need to replenish sodium to keep electrolytes balanced. No need to experience "keto flu". Add some salt to that 2 liters of water.
Not sure yet what I'll be doing for June in addition to step-jacks but geesh, I need to start moving again. Is it June 1 already?1 -

Thanks for the tip! I've got "no salt", Himalayan pink salt, and magnesium tabs. For now, I like pink salt added to Crystal light. When I get paid I'll look into the lemon/lime packets for keto-rade.2
