This month's theme comes to you courtesy of @kfat1JUMP IN June....a motivational challenge? Jump on in, feet first, full steam ahead, make a plan and jump right into it with all your determination, no excuses, just get it done! Make weekly goals,challenges and just jump in and do it! By the end of June, look back at your challenges and see which ones you JUMPED IN and GOT DONE!
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!

Still going strong with keto plan. Weightloss is slowed, but,trending is downward.
3 month plan is on target. So far today i dodged a very tempting work food spread, and stayed on plan!
Progress.
This still feels good and I feel in the right frame of mind to get this reloss accomplished. Very happy camper!5 -
BUUUUUUUMP!
I'm going camping this weekend. I shall be back to update on Sunday.
Until then, keep JUMPING. 1 -
Okay, new commitment to consistent week, logging. Report from last week: exercise good, logging spotty, eating seems to be really good for a week to 10 days and then I take a day off, usually related to bad sleep and stress. Ugh.1
-
Still on track. Downward trending, a little slower than I like, but Downward!
The next few pounds will get me below the
range I've been hovering up and down in for 3 months...so critical for motivation.
A good bit of dancing and activity is planned for the weekend so hopefully that will give me a jump on a loss. Fingers are crossed.3 -
Not sure when I posted last but I'm back at it. I live a stress free life but every now and then a little something will get in my way and it did. Not sure where I left off in the June challenge so started today with:
85 step jacks and 85 each of punch jacks, kick backs, half squat walks and that other thing I do. Not time consuming at all. 7-8 minutes. Did my 5 minute stretch too. My phone is rigged up again to my body so I can count my steps via S-Health (for fun).
I've been successful in not logging food every day ( I think I did 4) but that "goal" is just silly for me. It takes me all of 5 minutes since I have a fairly repetitious diet of a few different things for breakfast/lunch and then my standard meat and vegetables for dinner. I think my interest is the WEEKLY macro balance under nutrition more than anything.

Tagging in so I can find you guys on Sunday. 0

My big goal for June, that I had set back in the winter, was that I wanted to be at or below 250 lbs by the solstice.
It's June 18th, the solstice is on Wednesday, and as of this morning I have hit my goal with room to spare! Down to 243 lbs today!
And of course, I'm continuing the other good stuff; staying on target with my carbs and calories, keeping up with the excercise, ~ 60 min / day during the week and a bit more on the weekends.
Cheers!

Awesome @Steph_Maks! Room to spare is right.
Since I'm here, I continued on my June jumpin' way yesterday with 90 each of the step jacks, kick backs, etc. I decided I might as well add a minute a day to my stretches so did that too. Also jumped on my exercise bike for 15 minutes. I think completing a daily household task might have been a goal so if it was, I emptied the refrigerator and gave it a good scrub. Not that it ever gets nasty but a good thorough cleaning every now and then is nice.

starting 3rd wk of low-carb diet (50g carb 20-25g fiber-->30-25g net carbs). So far 3lbs gone. Lost a previous 8lbs doing moderate macros across, but that took 4 months! Feeling just fine and working towards UGW 132lbs!5

I am continuing to stay at or below my goal weight so far this month. I am also in nutritional ketosis on a consistent basis. So doing well over here.
Hadn't made it a "goal" this month, but I have also upped my rolling 28 day step goal pretty much because the weather is nice and I am outside a lot more now.
Glad to see all the positive results in here.4 -
BUMP
And walked over 10k steps and biked Friday and Saturday. Got over 6k steps Sunday from sheep chasing, but wise otherwise a sloth.2 -
Bike ride last night, waiting for the humidity to break so I can do more. A/C in the house broke.2

I'm still exercising daily carbs have been a little high though! In my opinion, maintenance is harder than when I was trying to lose weight. I feel I should have freedom to eat what I want but, I have to keep remembering that mindset is what got me where I was and I like being where I am today much better! I will figure this out!4
-
Just seeing this today. Hope you don't mind if I jump in! I'm trying very hard to make a lifestyle change of low carb eating. Beginning today. I'm laid up right now post knee surgery, so not much for activity and I can almost feel my hips spread as I sit on the couch elevating my leg! So, my goal for what remains of this week is to journal every bite and stay in the green for carb and sugar goals.6

This is my 3rd wk of low-carb. This week I had HIIT to weekday routines. My challenge is finish the month with a total 300 min of HIIT in the remaining 10wkdays of June. So far 20 minutes done and off to do another 10min.5
-
I am just starting my second week of Keto! I feel so much better than doing just low carb and low fat! My husband is even going to start with me ( I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that bacon is encouraged, lol!)
I have done low carb for a while so I am excited to mix it up a little bit!3 -

Work food days are the worst!2 -
Still at it
Maintaining my WOE.
Exercise is hit or miss at the moment (due to unforeseen life stuff...lol)
I've held off on exploring new recipes. I've have added a few different items to my menu and seems I've discovered another irritant to the body. I have an idea what it could be and have removed it to see if "things clear up".
My 5lbs fluctuation appears to be settling down now... weight loss is slowly back on the decline.

6/19: I didn't get to exercise. 3hrs of appointments and a teen library function...
More taxi-mom crap today, but I will squeeze some strength in.1
