    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!

    Okay, I know weight in is on Monday but I felt a little light today and my clothes are noticeably bigger. I weighted in at 198.4. I have not been under 200 lbs in at least 2 years. To add to that a few weeks ago I got on the swings with my son during a family outing. It meant a lot to my son because he told others about it afterward. Thanks to everyone for all the support and motivation, it truly means a lot.

    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

    Ok, I'm in. I started on June 20th so I'm very new to this. I will only be weighing myself monthly, so I will list my starting weight though I'm sure I have lost a pound or two. There's strength in numbers right?

    My stats:
    CW: urgh 289
    GW: a fabolous 180
    Mini Goal: lose 20 lbs by 8/2
    (my birthday !)

    I will also be posting before and after pictures with ya'll.....once I drag myself in front of the mirror. Well I have until July 1st to get there.

    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!

    Hi my name is Chrissy *wave*

    Start weight: 128.8
    Current weight: 128.8 (I started Wed. 24th so i havent weighed myself again yet)
    Weight Goal: 115
    Mini Goal: to tone up a bit as well :smile:

    I work at a dog kennel. I get more of a workout on my arms especially with dogs pulling and tugging on leashes. I'm a huge movie fan so thats partially why im like i am right now. I used to however weigh around 145 lbs when i was in high school and idk how i did it but i went from that to 130 and now im here trying to lose a little more :smile:

    I've been wanting to walk the past week but unfortunately its been in the 90's the past week or so. I don't have a treadmill and i like walking outside more.

    Melody

    I think it's WONDERFUL that you are joining with your daughter. I FINALLY convinced my mom to check it out and since then we have sort of became accountablilty partners. We walk together in the morning and know we have someone behind us when we feel like just giving it in. It's so much easier and waaaaaaay more fun having a partner in crime. ;) Welcome to the site and to June Starters!!!

    I was pumped this morning to note I was down to 154, a one-pound loss. Alas, when I looked on my reports, I realized I was 154 the last two weeks, albeit not on Mondays. I just logged it when I thought I had lost something, I guess. But I've wobbled from155 up to 156 all week which is why I thought 154 was a new low. Was all psyched to say I'd lost a pound this week, but I do feel skinny, my clothes are beginning to really fall off, and several, not one but several, people have commented that I look skinny. So I'll take that and try for 153 this week.
    I' m doing the same thing and I'm bouncing between 154 and 153. I have never taken measurements while I was dieting but I've actually recorded my measurements twice now on MFP and even though I haven't lost anymore weight I had actually lost inches. That's encouraging.

    Monday weigh in. Still at the same weight of 117, but I can tell I'm getting leaner. My clothes are fitting me much better, and I don't have to suck in as much to hide my gut. :laugh:

    Kept mostly within my calories last week, but the foods I was eating were not the healthiest. Going to try to do healthy dinners this week and hopefully be down a pound for next week.

    :wink: Hey Melody ... it's so great to see you on this site ... way to go ... congrats on the loss. But you reported on the wrong thread ... go to the following link and do your Monday weigh in there so it will be recorded onto the web site. It makes it a lot easier for Meags23 to keep track. She's the wonderful person doing our spreadsheet for our June Starters.
