JUNE MONTHLY CHALLENGE

I'm in again too. I had no overall loss in May, but that's mainly because I had a setback with a week-long conference and travel. My loss has been at a snails pace anyway, maybe 2-3 pounds per month. My goal this month: I will, I will, I WILL make it into the 50s in June!

Once I figure out the keto diet, I'm in. Brand New to keto, I have thyroid problems. I'm one of those that never had to worry about what I eat. But I now blame age, 3 kids in less than 1 year and thyroid. I need to lose weight to continue to care for my disabled son. Any help will be appreciated, I have no idea what I'm doing.

Sounds like you have your hands full to put it mildly! Good thing about keto is generally it makes you have more energy and you probably need that! Good luck and just post your question here or in the general keto forum and some one will do their best to answer you. 1 -
Hi everyone! I am new to Keto and plan to start on Sunday 6/3. I weight train 5 days a week + cardio. I have only lost 3lbs or so in the last 3 months and I know that the scale has not moved because I am building muscle and my diet has not been structured. I want the scale to move and I think Keto is the way to go! I look forward to seeing my results.

1. 50 pounds lost
2. Below 20% Body Fat
3. Under 25 Body Mass Index (in the MFP Healthy Range)
4. Logging on MFP 6 months
5. Being on keto 6 months (Longest I’ve ever sustained a diet change)
6. 8 real pull ups (a goal I set for May that I’m still working on)
That’s is surely enough unfulfilled goals to work on without making new ones June. Looking forward to hearing the inspiring stories, informed advice and experienced opinions that have made this thread my number one go to keto source.
That is so awesome! Well done. You have inspired me to set my goals for the next 6 months!

I (re)started keto/low carb after a long hiatus. Worked well for me before, but I surprisingly enough hamburgers, french fries and soft drinks are not a suitable maintenance program! I started up a couple of weeks ago, and my appetite has leveled off so I'm at a good place now and no longer experiencing the constant hunger I do with carbs. I'm setting modest goals for weight loss, and trying to focus on meal planning and exercise.
Current Weight 200.2

welcome to everyone for June! Feel free to post your thoughts, successes and 'failures' here. A word on 'failures' we don't have them!! We may sometimes eat or drink stuff we regret later but the trick is moving on from that, not beating ourselves up and thinking 'I broke that, WTH, I'll go on breaking it'. It's thinking: 'I'll fix that and moving on'.

June is here! Of course I’ll be checking in Sunday, 3 June, for our first weigh in, but I couldn’t wait to tell you my latest Non-Scale Victory (NSV). Today my computer sent me a notification suggesting I change my picture because it has made me use my pin instead of facial recognition to log on lately. My initial thought was maybe my computer is confused when I have my reading glasses on when I attempt to log in. However, I always wear my reading glasses when I log in and the facial recognition problem is a fairly recent occurrence.
Then, I looked at the photo ID badge I have for the place I do volunteer work. Comparing my photo ID image to what I see in the mirror, I can see why my computer is confused. There was a drastic difference between what I look like now and what I looked like years ago when I took my volunteer picture. Anyway, I’ve now updated my facial recognition photo. My computer is happy computer and so am.

Priceless @stormywxs288 !
And LOL @jheye. That maintenance plan wouldn't work for me either. You're not alone. 1 -
Not sure what my goal will be for June but I am definitely going to try to be in my low
170s!
The past week has been a little bit mentally rough for me. I have been doing my strict diet and I have NOT cheated at all and I gained 1.6 lbs. I was so excited
that I reached the greatest weight loss on 5/28/18 which was at 180.4 and the next day I was up to 182.6. I was SHOCKED 
but I didn't give up or cheat. I kept on my diet plan and this AM I am at 182...
This is total BS
!!! Today I am starting another Keto Meal plan 
. I wanted to loose another 5-10 lbs by 6/9/18 which is in another 8 days, I am really not sure if that is going to be doable at this rate ... Don't get me wrong I am happy that I have dropped 15 lbs since 5/2 which has been 30 days but I was really hoping it would've been more... I am going on vacation on 6/9/18 and my birthday is the week after that which I really want to be in the low 170s... Cross your fingers with me 
, I will keep ya posted!!!

@PeaceQT18 : By my calculation it seems you’ve lost over 15 pounds in a month. That works out to be almost 4 pounds a week. In my experience with keto I lost tons of weight the first few weeks too. Can’t explain why and won’t attempt to but that seems to be a common occurrence with keto newbies. After the initial weight loss your body becomes fat adapted (uses fat instead of carbs) and the weight loss drops off or in some cases even gains happen.
Here’s the good news though! If you stay within your macros and keep your calories slightly restricted you should start to lose again. You will most likely never have the success that happened in those early keto weeks, but you will start losing gradually. And your memory will improve, your skin, nails and hair will be healthier, your clothes will fit better, your joints will feel normal again, and people will start asking you what you are doing to look so much healthier.
So, hang in there! The best days are yet to come. We are all looking forward to hear about your success.

I am SO ready for June. I am a little wary because I felt that I was SO ready for May.... and then life happened. I had some really good days, but overall personally, May was not a good month (raising teenage girls is hard!!) In May, I lost almost 5 lbs, only to gain some, with a net loss of virtually nothing. (.5 lb) Time to get back into the gym, really think about what I eat, plan ahead and quit messing around!
It is a new month, and it is just about summertime!
