TEAM SKINNY - June a marriage of weight and goal (June2010)

I am in again. Getting closer to that elusive 1XXlbs!

EOM 211
Goal 205

My other targets

Do more yoga 
Get back running after ankle injury 
 

Gottcha both. Welcome back

Now in all my moving, what happened to that da#@ scale anyway?

Hi Skinnies,
Can anyone join since it's a new month? Let me know.

Hey Skinnies, I have been awol from this thread for a few months. I would like to get back in on the fun again....

Starting weight 281lbs

Goal weight (June 30) 277lbs

This is a more conservative goal than usual for me but I want to stay motivated for longer....

Good luck to all.

Open to all jp, We are not biased at all...Well maybe against Shermmie since he can't find a scale. His nickname is Lil Debbie.

Welcome back Iron Gus...Been a while great to see you again.

Lets see if we can all go PEACH for the whole month. I missed one day last month...grrrrr!!!! Wasn't paying attention.

Cool. I'm new here so I'll give you a little background. I've been up & down with weight since I can remember. I didn't get really heavy until after I had 2 kids. 2 weeks after my 2nd son was born, I weighted in at 236 lbs (I'm a 5'4 woman). I didn't like the direction I was headed, so I joined weight watcher & over the course of year got down to 157lbs.

Then (surprise!) I found out I was pregnant again. I had a beautiful girl, but I gained about 50lbs with this pregnancy (ouch!) So, I started losing the weight again and am now at 176lbs.
I've hit a bit of a plateau and need to start getting serious again about my eating.

I just finished my firt sprint tri and am looking to do 2 more this year and a HM in Dec. Looking forward to motivating and being motivated with this group.

 

I'm in again. I had a pretty good month in May -- hoping to repeat!

Starting weight - 151
Goal - 145

What does "go PEACH" mean? 

jp, We weigh in on Wed. The reason: Just so that people weight in on the same day at the same time. The reason: To try and keep variations down as much as possible... It doesn't matter (really) if it is every Thur or Tues as long as same bat day same bat channel every time. We set monthly goals so that we can take little steps in achieving our goals. I believe that is the way to keep it off. Don't calories too much, If you are less than 1500-1700 that is too much. Good luck and any questions let us know. Oh yeah, Plenty of time to train for a HM. Piece of cake..(not literally).

Sheilby, If you look at your training log (it doesn't look like you have) you will see that it looks as pure as fresh driven snow. If you post your weight it will turn blue as the ocean, but if you do any training of any kind and post it, it will change to an ugly peach color.

Since I'm just starting out getting the pre-preggo body back after 4 weeks I'm expecting to lose some water weight the first week or so. So my goal is 10lbs this week, but mostly make it a peach month and build my miles up slowly.

I am back in again for sure... last month was my first.. I was doing well but seem to be on a plateau.

trying some new things and we will see what happens.

Last weigh in and current 248lbs. I am sure this is where I will be tomorrow as well..

My goal is 240 for the month. Meaning I need to loose about 2 lbs a week.

I will find a way.

I dropped out in May. I got engaged (!!!!!) and have been quite busy with celebrating and wedding plans. I'm back for June. My first official weigh-in will be tomorrow morning but my goal for June is to weigh 145.

Emily

Cool! Just got caught up and would like to join as well. This will be my first month on Team Skinny and thanks for the PEACH explanation...I didn't know either.

So anything else we need to know as newbies to this? I've been training and eating well for the last 5-6 weeks and have lost more than I have meant to (was shooting for just 7 lbs a month to avoid saggy skin while losing weight). I'm in month 2 of my 12 month plan.

Goal this month for me will be 7 pounds hoping for 202 by the end of the month nearing 200 for the first time in nearly 5 years at least.

Seems like a good time to get this rolling again. 

Starting weight 290.

EOM will be 280. 

Peach here I come.

Congrats on getting engaged! 

Not happy with how I ended May. Had pretty stable weight for the month, (no significant loss but no gain either). I stepped on the scale last night for a final weigh in and I was up from 199 to 202. I really want to be done with the 200's. Setting a goal to get under 200 and keep it there for the month. I don't plan on any significant weight loss for June since I will be in Mexico for the first half of the month and our food is provided by those that are housing us for the trip. I'm doing a humanitarian aid trip and the group is staying with host families. My goal is to lose three pounds so I am back under 200 and never venture back into that territory again. Won't have a peach month since Sunday is always a rest day for me and the air in Mexico City is like smoking a couple of packs a day so I decided no exercising except for the work we are doing.

I'm in again this month. I have a long way to go so I imagine I'll be here for a very very long time. Sorry you're stuck with me.

May - 30 295
June - 02
June - 09
June - 16
June - 23
June - 30

June Goal - 285 ambitious?

I'm up for the peach challenge

Congrats Emily on the engagement thats so exciting!

I'm back but not in good shape. On Sat I crashed my bike which left me with two large hematomas that the Dr said could take 4-6 weeks to heal. My bike is fine but I'm feeling a little crushed right now in the 3 days I have been hurt I have gained 7 pounds of water weight maybe due to the painkillers or excess salt but it's driving me crazy.

So for the month my goal is to recover and get down to 170. I was at 174 last Thursday but I will weigh in tomorrow and start from there.
