Jiminy's June 2015 W.I.S.H. Weight Loss Challenge!! Any and All welcome to join!!

[pjlla]

Hey all! WELCOME ABOARD our June W.I.S.H. weight loss challenge.
The rules are changing up a little so please read this post carefully.

This month we are CHALLENGING ourselves to make real PROGRESS on this journey to be slimmer and healthier. Pick a goal (5 pounds off, 10% down, 10K steps a day, etc) and device a PLAN to reach that goal. Share your GOAL and your PLAN with us (no need to post your SPECIFIC weight.... just your goal) and then watch the colors change (like on this GORGEOUS rainbow castle) as you reach your JUNE GOAL!






PERCENTAGE TOWARD GOAL

1% -10% orange
11% - 20% bright pink
21% - 30% royal blue
31% - 40% purple
41% - 50% turquoise
51% - 60% copper
61% - 70% rose
71% - 80% kelly green
81% - 90% sky blue
91% - 99% red
100% WISH green


It will be up to YOU to decide on your goal, your plan and to report your progress toward that goal to me (pjlla) through a private message every Friday (but I'll give an additional day for any stragglers, folks away, in another time zone, etc). Progress will be updated on Sundays (or Mondays if life gets crazy here). Looks for little online "awards" coming up as you reach your goal!

I can't WAIT to get us started this month!!

Remember.........."The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing" (Thanks Walt!) .....................P

 

[pjlla]

I hope that this format will encourage some great discussions about weight loss, maintaining, diet, exercise and healthy living! But as always, feel free to participate as much or as little as you would like.... but remember, the more you put in, the more you'll get out.

Welcome to returning friends, newbies, and anyone/everyone who would like to chat about weight loss, weight maintenance, exercise, and anything related! No rules here EXCEPT to be kind and supportive of each other! No negative energy allowed!

We talk about calories, Weight Watchers, low-carb, SparkPeople, MFP, Fitbits, Jawbones, marathon training, walking, recipes, vitamins, meal planning, smoothies, juicing, motivation, YOU NAME IT!! No positive/healthy talk is off limits!

If you have a subject you would like used as a QOTD (question of the day) or something that you think we would like to hear about, please let me/us know!

Please consider inviting a friend (either a RL friend or a Disboard friend) to join us. They don't have to LOVE Disney like we do (but it helps). They only need to want to make healthier lifestyle choices!

Here is your QOTD for Monday, June 1, 2015:




"Everybody neat and pretty? Then on with the show!" (Mickey Mouse Club, 1955)





Please share your GOAL (Steps? Pounds? Days on plan? Minutes of exercise?) and your PLAN to achieve that goal with us in as much detail as you would like!

 

[Flossbolna]

I am signing up and will reply to the June 1st question tomorrow!

And I can host July.

Hi! I'd like to join in. So...goals.... Let's say down by 5 lbs by June 30th by more walking and more closely adhering to the Four Corners Diet (I had a lot of success with that before the kids came along. Hopefully I will again!).

 

[bearybubba]

Newbie here! I'm going to try losing 8lbs this month by walking at least 20 min, 4 X a week and by really watching what I eat.

 

[cluvsdisney]

I'd like to join in. I would like to lose 10 pounds in June. I am going to follow a low carb meal plan, take 10,000 steps every day and a more formal exercise at least twice a week (zumba, video or going to the gym).

What is the four corners diet?

 

[Belle0101]

I'll join, this will be first time.

I'm struggling, a lot, and I'm hoping that having to be accountable (sending in my progress every Friday) and making new friends will get me started in a more positive direction.

I'll think some on my goals and have them posted tomorrow for sure! Thanks!!

ETA: My goal is to walk 3 times a week. I put Wishes and SpectroMagic on my iPod and my plan is to walk as far as I can listening to Wishes and when that's over walk home listening to SpectroMagic. If I get home before that's over then I'll continue around the block until it's over. I think that's just a few minutes shy of 30 minutes.

I have to start out with a small goal due to aggravating an old knee injury in January and then while recovering from that I injured my foot, same leg.

 

[Statefan17]

Another Newbie here. I want to lose 5 pounds in June by eating a more sensible diet and walking at least 4 times a week. I am joining the walk to WDW challenge too for additional motivation.

Here's to successful June for all of us.

 

[stenickar]

I want to join the challenge. I want to lose 5lbs in June.

 

[5xdisneyfans]

Put me down for 10lbs in June. I know I can do it if I stay focused.

 

[Alexle2007]

I'm in! Newbie too. I'll lose 5 lbs by the end of June by exercising more, drinking more water and watching what I eat. (Need to eat more fruit and salad.)

 

[hpfan100]

I'm in!!!

My goal is to complete some exercise each day--- walking 5 days per week, arm weights and stretching 3 days a week. I also am working on making strong healthy choices with my eating habits...nothing specific just better choices. Since I'm pregnant I can't focus on weight loss but I can focus on overall health and strength.

What is the four corners diet?

The Four Corners Diet is a low-carb hybrid. Lots of protein, lots of monounsaturated fats, lots of probiotics, lots of greenery/fiber = 4 corners. Also, my df-i-l is one of the co-creators, so admittedly I'm biased in that respect. But I really did lose a ton of weight when I followed it thoroughly. I was 25lbs lighter when I got pregnant the 1st time than I was in high school.

Hi
My name is Mel and I'm in.(Newbie)
I would like to lose 5 pounds this month, but getting into an exercise routine is a more important goal for me.
I would love some advise on some basic stretching exercises that others have found useful.


So starting Monday June 1st 2015
I am going to walk the treadmill every day for 15 minutes-gradually building up my stamina.

Hugs Mel

 

[vitfamily]

I would love to join. My goal is to loose 5 pounds in June. I'm going to drink more water, make healthier food choices and start exercising at least 5 times a week.

 

[bamacmac]

I'd like to join too!

My goals for June

*Lose 8 lbs
*Continue trying to hit 10K steps each day
*Continue doing 2 group exercise classes at my gym each week
*At least a 30 min walk with my dog each day
*No ice cream, soda or tea for this month.
*Make healthier food choices overall

So glad I found this! I had been planning to do a big overhaul of things starting tomorrow, so it's great to have this to help keep me on track.
