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

[SarahDisney]

Why would you be embarrassed about making healthier foods? You should be PROUD of making healthier choices for YOURSELF and whoever else you cook for! I'll bet your Dad would be proud of you too!!

That's just not how it works in my family. I used to be upset about it, but I'm okay with it now. My family doesn't understand what I'm doing, not a big deal. It just makes it a little harder to be healthier when I don't have the kitchen all to myself.

I'll be back with my Fun Friday emoticon story later ... I'm the least emoticon-y person in the world, so it's a tough one for me!

My son has been so long for his license , he waited after after and I kept sending and and ...yesterday he called and said he got his license.

I'm not able to complete the story since the emojis don't work well on the IPad.


I'd be happy to send you the heat immediately, I'm already sick of it!

Well AZ is getting hotter by the day. I believe I will be going to Planet Fitness tomorrow to see about signing up getting too hot to take my outdoor walks comfortably. I want to keep these losses going. Tracked food today loosely. I know I'm off a tad. I look forward to spending some evenings at the PF working out. My friend was talking about joining with me but then was planning to move away out of state. She's staying but moving an hour away so probably won't have my workout buddy option at all. Not going to let it stop me though. Unless I go to LA Fitness because then my daughter could join next month. But the fee is more monthly there.

So as a check in I didn't lose or gain this week. I had a terrible lunch on Wednesday because I went out and then yesterday I indulged a little for dinner too. Back on it today and hoping next week is much better!

Morning all! Busy day today and I'm already running behind schedule, so I'll just say hi and let you all know that if you PM me or post your percentages to goal, I will get an updated list posted by tomorrow night! Remember, YOU determine your success and calculate your percentage. The month is nearly half over.... are you HALF WAY to the goal you set? If not, what are going to CHANGE this week to get closer??

I'll try to BBL to chat, but no promises!................P

 

[JennysSeven]

I'm down 2 out of 5 lbs., so 40%. I started late so I'm not quite halfway there, but I think I can still make goal by the end of the month! I realized this morning that I was able to get out of bed and walk without my feet screaming at me in protest, lol! Those first several days after going from not much activity to walking 10,000+ steps my feet were really complaining!

 

[Keithsmomma]

Checking in. Didn't gain or lose this this week. So I'll work twice as hard now.

I did find out I do not suffer from allergies, but have a weak immune system. So now I know what's wrong and getting it back on track.

Set yourself up for success.
Well given the diets in the house (dad needs sugar free, low/no sodium, and heart healthy) we are pretty much cooking from scratch and healthy. Growing our own veggies. We plan to go and pick fresh fruit in season. My DH new job requires him to keep up with physical fitness. So we are working out together.

 

[lovetoscrap]

Can I come back???

Yesterday was the first day of summer vacation and I did this today!

Today is "SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS SATURDAY!!" (or Sunday, if you are seeing this tomorrow!)

Share with us what YOU are doing this weekend to guarantee a successful week!!

DD19 finished her first year of college about a month ago and came home with the dreaded Freshman 15. DD15 has unfortunately inherited my body type and has curves that seem to get bigger whenever she looks at food, and hypoglycemia issues that make eating and food a pain the patootie for her. And I don't even want to admit that I have gained back all the weight I lost last year and more. I am pretty sure if I were to step on the scale I would be very unhappy with the first number. So I am going to live in denial for a few weeks before I actually weigh myself. So we have all decided that for the summer we are going to cut out junk food (other than an occasional treat) and focus on healthy meals. Today we came up with some new and old options we want to have for dinners this week. We all agreed that we love salad so that or leftovers will be lunch. Tomorrow we will need to go grocery shopping for meat and veggies so the list is started.

Checking in:

I'm at 50% of my goal (walk 3 times per week for 30 minutes). I've actually been walking 35 minutes once a week and 40 the other 2 nights so while it's a small increase, at least it's an increase.

 

[WooPigScientist]

Is it too late to join? I'm a newbie! I've been hanging out on the boards a while, but just realized this one was here!

My goal is to walk at least 300 minutes by the end of the month. Preferably in 30 min stretches four days a week.

 

[Trith]

Hey folks, checking in finally. I've been a bit of a downward emotional spiral for the past couple of weeks, which has led to me eating pretty much everything that isn't nailed to the floor, not going to the gym and not being able to run outside due to a foot problem.

So, what do we do when we hit rock bottom?

Plan another Disney vacation!

I haven't booked yet, I'm just waiting on a price check from my dad's travel agent but *fingers crossed* I should know by Tuesday! My parents are going down for free dining in November so the tentative plan is to surprise my mum for her birthday. =)

Hopefully the promise of a vacation will help me pull myself together. Sorry I've missed weigh ins and all that jazz, but I think I should be able to get back on track this week.

PS anyone planning on heading to WDW in November? I may be solo for a day and would love to have someone to hang with.

 

[luvpoohandcompany]

Bowing out this mo th guys. Sorry live just crazy and I keep missing deadlines here and then I feel guilty that I haven't posted. Wishing everyone the best of luck and hope to rejoin soon x

 

[Statefan17]

So far this month, I have walked 10 miles and lost 2 pounds towards my June goal of 5 pounds.

I do all of my "planning" on Saturday nights - I set up my to-do list for the week, my meal plan, and my exercise plan. I have it all set up in a Word document.
Here's a slightly redacted version of this week's list:


I don't have a huge amount on there right now (there will be more added as the week goes on), and some of my meal plans aren't complete, but having this done on Saturday nights makes my week a little easier!

 

[JacknSally]

Only down 1lb this week... But that's 10% of my June goal, which sounds way better. Got up a little later than I wanted so I'm scrambling to get in some treadmill time before work. Back later to catch up!

 

[pjlla]

Hey all! Just a quick minute to say hello and post the QOTD before I must dash to work! Sorry I didn't get online again over the weekend.... time got away from me. Not sure where I am working today, so not sure about computer access, but I'll try!! But a quick glance told me that we had LOTS of folks getting set up for a successful weekend! And did my eyes deceive me or do I see an old friend returning to the flock!!?? WOOHOO! Hi friend!!

Off to post the QOTD and get breakfast made!.............P

QOTD for Monday, June 15, 2015:





It seems like a few folks are STRUGGLING this month to get/stay OP and there was a mention of hitting "rock bottom." We've all been there....one splurge day turns into a weekend of out of control eating... and then Monday's workout seems like an effort in futility. You know in your heart that you must find a way to pull out of this downward spiral. But what to do?? Let's help a friend (or two) out here..... Please tell us what YOU do to recover or pull yourself up from that rock bottom place. How do you remind yourself that YOU are worth the effort??

 

[ohMom]

Morning friends! The whirlwind summer has begun, grad party check, college orientation check, amusement day check, attending more grad parties check.,......begin packing for cancun

What a great month of newcomers and lots of chatting! I'm sorry for me that I'm missing out!

I'm at rock bottom again too....was doing so good that I allowed myself some slack with grad party food and drink, then eating out for 3 days in a row.....I'm feeling very fluffy and my clothes are snug. I have less then two weeks before we leave for vacation. I really really want to buckle down and get rid of some of the extra before going. I need avoid alcohol to keep my water retention under control and detox sugar
