JUNE STARTERS

Hi everyone,
I am also a late June start (hope that's ok) and I am also a recommiter! I started in January and lost 10lbs and then for some reason thought that I didn't need to track my calories anymore, and eventually it got out of control. I am 24 yrs. old, but I feel like I am 40 and I don't like it! I also have a 15 month old son, that I want to have the energy to keep up with him!

Start weight: 231
current weight: 231
Weight goal: 135
Mini goal: To be under 200lbs. before Christmas.

Can't wait to get going again and feel like my age!

Imglad the heat wave finally broke.(if you call 87 broke) I plan to bring a jump rope with me to work and jump during my breaks. I need to get in shape because I want to go back to my martial arts class. I took a year off because of a torn rotator cuff. I take Krav Maga and the class will almost kill me if I dont have a little endurance. I will weigh in on Monday I hope to see a loss.

Hi All,

Pete – Hi Pete, welcome to the group! I joined yesterday and consider myself a June starter too. Mini goals are great and targeting your annual physical is a great idea.

Jennifer – Welcome to the group!! I am a married mother of two as well (a 10 yr old girl and 5 yr old boy) and know how hard it is to dedicate time for your own needs when you have two young ones to look after. You can definitely do it though!!!

Jbunzsno – Children are a great inspiration and what a great Christmas present that would be to reach your goal. There is so much support here that should help reach your goals. Welcome to June Starters!

Hek81 – That is awesome news! It is very inspiring to others who are looking forward to reaching the same spot you have now reached.

Shereen – Wow, sounds intense. What is Krav Maga?

I got a new digital scale today so I will probably have to adjust my start weight depending on what it tells me...lol..

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Take care,
Tammy

Hi all, I'd like to join too!!!

I started using MFP in June when I really dived into this whole weight loss/fitness thing, but did lose a few pounds prior to that. My stats are:
SW - 167.8lbs
CW - 160.4lbs

I gave birth to my baby girl in March and am trying to lose my pregnancy weight. My main goal is 112lbs. I haven't really got mini goals,other than to try to have lost something each week, even if only a fraction of a pound lol!!!

I haven't been logging my food on this site as I am not counting calories as I am nursing my daughter and so need to eat an extra few hundred calories a day, so instead am making healthier food choices each day and eating to hunger. My main purpose of using this site, other than the great tips I pick up, is to concentrate on the exercise side of things, which I am logging. It's so motivating to see any exercise done as calories burned!

Okay, I went tto the starters thread and signed in last week
Then I went to the weigh in thread on monday and weighed in!
And then I went to the picture thread and posted my picture which turned out toooooo big!
And then I went to the June Starters, Hot day
And then I went to the June starters, going into the weekend thread!
Now I am here and I guess this is where everyone is talking!
I have a suggestion......could we call the thread that we are chatting on the "JUNE Starters, CHAT, 6/29 to 7/6" If we could start a new weigh in thread on Monday and also start a new chat thread on every monday! What do you all think? Then in July we can have the June starters July pictures! I guess this is just the social worker in me working over time!

This has been a hard week for me. Planning this wedding in Mexico and doing it all by email with a person who has english as a third language is very frustrating. My son is a teacher so he is out of school and is right in there making plans. Every time the phone rings we say"it's the bride calling" lol! Don't know what he would think knowing that is what we say when he calls!
