10%.... that seems like such a small number but its a BIG DEAL!!
Studies show that loosing just 10 % of your body weight reduces your chance of weight related health issues! So, what a great goal!!! 10%!!!! So, my goal (from the beginning of our June Starters group) weighing in at 230, would be to loose 23lbs! That will be my first 10% :smile: I am 10lbs into that, so I have 13lbs to go!!! :drinker:
So, here's a challenge. Lets loose 10% of our body weight!!!
Look at your starting weight from when you joined JUNE STARTERS. If you can't remember, your starting weight should be on the first weigh-in on the JUNE STARTERS website http://junestarters2009.weebly.com/ (your weight the first week of June)..... We want to know who the first JUNE STARTER will be to loose their first 10%....
Go ahead and use this thread and post where you are now.....

    I never thought about that ... hmmm ... my start weight was 208.5 lbs. :huh: I need to lose 20.85 lbs. so lets just round it up to 21 lbs. to reach my 10% which would make it 187.5 lbs. As of my last Monday weigh in I weighed 191.5 lbs. which is 17 lbs. so far - so I need to lose 4 more pounds to reach the 10%.

    Hi - I started in June as well. It was mid-June - I think. I'd have to go back an look but I started at 208lbs with a goal of 150 at the least. I've lost 5lbs as of today. 10% is good and for me that would be 20lbs. I'll push for that by September.

    EDIT - Ok My start date was 6/22. That's when I found this site and started tracking. so 5lbs is a good start for me. But I know I have to do better. I looked back and my SW was 206 so I have only lost 3lbs but it is still a start.

    Well thank you kindly ... I just checked the spreadsheet and there are a couple of the group members who have already met or exceeded the 10% so I would like to send out a whoot whoot to them. :drinker:

    Awesome, ladies!!! This gives us a goal to aim for.... And for those of us who have A LOT to loose...When we hit our "first" 10%, we just recalculate and go for the second 10%. I think it chops it up nicely for us (: Good luck, JUNE STARTERS!!!!! :drinker:

    Yay, what a great topic! :flowerforyou:

    Ok, so I started in Jan at 181, 10% would be 18.1- made that yay!

    I started in June on MFP at 164, so that would be 16.4 lbs, and I have lost 5 lbs from then. So 11 ish to go!
    I really like this way of looking at losing the weight :love: gives us some mini goals that are totally reachable!

    Keep up the great work :drinker:

    I lost 9 lbs 5% so I have 9 more lbs to go. If I lose 1 lb a week (I wish I can lose 2 lbs/week ), it will take me 2 months and 1 week.

    I think that's a great idea :blushing: since I made my first 10% already. But seriously, any motivation that will help me along I'm there baby! :flowerforyou:

    That is a great idea. My starting weight was 182.4, so my 10% is an 18.2lb loss which would put me at 164.2lbs. I'm currently at 169.2 (YAY for the 60's :bigsmile:) so I've only got 5 pounds to go!

    My start weight was 204, so I need to lose 20.4 lbs. Man, that would be great! Right now I'm at 199 and am enjoying "onederland" for the first time in 10 years. :smile:

    My heaviest weight was 223 in April of this year. Then I joined MFP at 214 on June 2nd and now since I'm at 199 - that means I have lost 24 lbs - which is a loss of 10.8%!!! So...I will enjoy that...and go to work on getting to 183.6 - so I can make the 10% LOSS LIST!

    Congratulations to ALL who have done that...Amazing! :flowerforyou:
