New month knocking on the door, new challenge!
This month's theme came to us a couple years ago courtesy of @kfat1. I liked the idea so much, I decided to use it again this year. And also, it was already dreamed up, and I'm busy. :bigsmile:
Excellent idea!
The challenge starts June 1st. So go ahead and post your goals, whether it be nailing down plan Basics, increasing your fitness, or adopting healthy habits. Anything is fair game as long as it's in pursuit of your health or fitness.
Jump on in!

My June plan is
*Stay with IF /Go low carb(20% carbs..25% protein and 55% fat) then alternate between keto and low carb each month (my Dr. is not a fan of keto)
*Drink 140 ounces of water
*walk 4 days a week M-Thursday (15,000 steps)
*Swim 4/5 days a week M-Thurs and maybe a day during the weekend
*Meal prep once a week (Sunday's )
* I would like to lose 6 to 8 lbs this month5 -
I’m doing well, so I’m going to make my goal easy.
I’m going to come here every day in order to share any mishaps or conundrums I face. Also to hold myself accountable to a group.

I’m here. Doing well.

June goal will be simple. Do 30 minutes of activity every day, do something fun every day. I'll still weigh in and be mindful of food but won't dwell on or obsess about it. I do need to hide the nuts though, they've become a snack I can't control.4

My goal is to walk 1 mile a day. That is 2400 steps for me, and an increase of about 625 steps from my daily average in May.
I'm hoping to up my enthusiasm level thru motion, hoping it will kick over into my food plan but for now the priority is to free myself from my couch potato prison.
Baby steps!8 -
Doing good with IF and low carb .... been walking yesterday(232 minutes) 9.46 miles with 1257 calorie burn and today 181 minutes 7.56 miles with a 972 burn ... Haven't been in our pool yet due to being windy the last couple of days ...I did some meal prep on Sunday

Hi, I would love to jump into June with you! Been unwell and gained a load of weight back via carbs 😏. My goal is to cut them back out, not get on the scale obsession trail again and lose at least 7lb. I can’t really exercise so am making my goal to take time to relax my mind and visualise where I am going. Thanks for starting this, just what I need 👍5

Jun 1 - Goal is 150 lbs or less by end of month. Currently at 156. Also going to focus on drinking more water. Where I live the temperatures get up to the 90s and 100s during the summer. I just don't drink enough. Goal is 75 oz of water a day.2

Okie dokie. Back from vacation. Not weighing until Sat.
But my goal is the same as it has been since January, get rid of the Covid Chub! All of it has been stubborn but these last few are REALLY on my nerves now. So... the scale better quit messing around and get me to 165 or else...!!!
Or else I'll just have to keep trying

Onward and downward.4 -
Love that: Onward and Downward! June goal is to walk 20 minutes most days, eat fewer enough carbs to lower my sugars, and be on this site every day. Someone said the site changed things, which could explain why it was easier for me to find this Group. If I'm not here tomorrow, I'll be very unhappy with myself. 8-)4

You need to bookmark it by touching the badge looking thing in the upper right corner. It will turn blue. Then you can find it again easily.1 -
Glad to be back and Thank you @baconslave for this thread. Great support here!
Mary from Pennsylvania 65 now, Heaviest weight 255 lbs twice. :-(
UGW-122 lbs. I was there in 2009/10 and kept it off for 5 years then got lazy.
My goal is to continue with what seems to work for me. 1000-1200 calories, low carb 15 Net +/- 3(My body seems to not do well with carbs. It doesn't know how to burn them and hangs onto them way too much!), minimum 70 + oz of water, 2 meals/day on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days(which are long), exercise on my 3 days off. For challenges my official weigh in day is Sunday. I weigh daily.
9/14/20 SW-255 lbs
5/3/21-240.5 lbs Emergency Gallbladder surgery
5/14/21-232.2 lbs started MFP and Low Carb/1000-1200 calorie while recovering
6/1/21-228.8 lbs
7/1/21-222.2 lbs
8/1/21-212.0 lbs
9/1/21-200.0 lbs
10/1/21-191.4 lbs
11/1/21-181.8 lbs
12/1/21-176.2 lbs
1/1/22-168 lbs
2/1/22-157.4 lbs
3/1/22-155 lbs 100 lbs lost of 133 lb goal
4/1/22-156.4 lbs (Lowest weight 4/6 & 4/7-147.6 lbs)
5/1/22-158.8 lbs
6/1/22-152.2 lbs
6/5/22-158 lbs Too many carbs last 2 days and sure it's water retention with them too. (Why do carbs have to be so tasty and addictive?) Did my Elliptical today, 167 minutes for 13.11 miles. My plan was to do another session later today but now my motivation is gone. Probably why I am better at long first sessions. I did add "girl" pushups, planks and just hanging from my son's pull up bar. To increase my strength. Not that I'm weak. (I'm a nurse and I pull even big guys up in beds for a living!) But I can always get stronger. Build up my muscle mass to burn more calories and fill out the flabby loose skin!

Starting the week off at 154.8 lbs. This whole year I have managed to lose just over 3 lbs. Though not excited I will take it. Planning on this month to be the month where I see great results. This week I will focus on getting my carbs down to 15% of diet. Still trying to recover from Memorial weekend. Why is it so hard to get back on track??4

scale still dumb.

I’m late joining as I wasn’t sure I could to commit to anything this month.
I found out I was being made redundant just a few weeks ago and then the week before last they told me my end date would be 31st May. Luckily, because they brought my end date forward they have to pay me in lieu of notice so I now have both redundancy pay and notice pay to keep me going for a few months. So I now have time to find something new. It means I can still have some time to focus on other things while I search for a new job. Phew.
So my goal this month is to keep exercising five days a week and make sure I get out for a walk at least once a week. I just had my annual checkup with the nurse at my doctor’s practice and she’s very happy with my weight and blood pressure. She wants me to focus more on strength and weights for my exercise as she says that’s more important at my age than the cardio. So at least three days a week will be strength and light weights.
I did a lovely long walk at the weekend, we discovered a little green belt that goes through our area and into nearby areas and it has nice paths to walk through, we didn’t realise that it carried on so far. So we spent two hours walking down to the next area and back. Today I did a 20 minute leg and arm workout, not as long as I would ideally be doing but I was feeling a bit tired today.5 -
Yesterday carbs were at 19%, was shooting for 15%. Pretty pleased because for the past week I have been around 30% carbs. Just need to get it down a little bit more.5
-
Goals:
Log food & water everyday.
Watch carb intake
Get more steps where I can
Make healthy swaps
Get more rest
Reduce stress and be more active4 -
I did a half hour workout yesterday. I’ve got a couple of second job interviews tomorrow from a couple I did yesterday. So today I won’t be exercising, don’t want to risk straining anything!5
