You rock, thanks. Looking forward to the July mini challenge as the end of June has been really tough for me to stick to exercise and diet. I need to start over as they say. Thanks again!

I just posted my results to Cocowan so hopefully we will find out the final June Slimming Mini results soon.

But more importantly, and on a personal level, how did everyone do with their diets and exercise plans in June?

Although my weightloss numbers went great (so much better than May b/c I upped my workouts!!) I ran into some difficulties maintaining my recommended calorie intake which has made things super tough (damn cravings). I look forward to doing more rigorous exercise in June so I can make my weight appear nicer (more toned, lower fat percentage etc).

In any case, I am so thankful to Cocowan and CC for making such a great site.

Looking forward to July Slimming Minis, it's so motivating for me!!!

June Minis weren't as successful as I had hoped; I actually gained 1 lb, but June's over and I'm focusing on July now!  My starting weight on July 1 is 197 lbs!!!  :-o 

don't be discouraged nev2179. I am hoping that a few little changes to the July minis will help in our efforts to be  more healthy and weigh less

I didn't lose a ton of weight in June - but didn't expect to. It generally been taking me 4 to 5 months for every 10 lbs I lose...and the loss tends to come in spurts. Since I finally hurtled from the 140s into the 130s in May, I didn't expect a lot of losses in June...I actually expected my weight to fluctuate a lot more than it did.

As far as exercise goes...I totally kicked butt!!  I shaved another 15 seconds off my 5K time.....fastest time is now 28:28. I also reached a distance milestone - 10 miles of running, non-stop, on the treadmill. I've definitely got the exercise thing under control - it's totally become routine/habit to hit the gym at least 5 days a week.

My focus for July will be on shaving a few more seconds off my 5K time and seeing if I can get a few more 10 milers in (before reaching for the next milestone - 11 miles).

Congrats everyone!

fitnessfreak-im finding it difficult to lose weight too. Im down to 134, from i think 137 at the beginning of the month. However, im up to doing 9 miles in an hour on the elliptical and have mastered teh arc trainer at the gym! Now I really need to work on toning!

nycgirl- on a personal level, my diet is crap! One day I eat way to much, the nexy barely anything at all. Even at my highest weight I never ate the way I do at times now. Im pretty sure I would be alot closer to my goal weight if I could get my diet under control. On the plus side, since I workout so much, its nice to know I can eat what I want and not gain weight!

and the winner is for the June slimming minis

We are all waiting with baited breaths .......... !!!!!!!!

Okay all I wanted to make is suspenseful and I can tell you that I still need one more person's info. I should get that today. and then I will post

lrt with 859 points  is the winner of the June Minis challenge

Way to go!

nycgirl is in second place

fitnessfreak is in third

there was only 4 points between 2nd and 3rd

859 points. Wow! Congratulation lrt, you are amazing. Thanks to Coco for making this happen, it was so much fun!

whoa... I shocked myself with this number!  even though I don't think much has happened on the weight loss front (especially now that I'm on vacation with my sister, niece, and nephew... have probably gained back the little I lost...), I can tell that I've gotten stronger over the last few weeks

thanks again to Coco for creating this challenge and keeping up with our progress reports -- it's really helpful to see those points accumulate as a reminder of the good progress we have made!

happy 4th everybody...

lrt

You are all so lucky being this height i am under 4'10 and i find it so hard losing the weight.When i was younger i didnt just have to contend with people saying about my height but also my weight.I was called some really nasty names like oompa loompa and a weeble.I also find it get harder has we get older.I am now 4'10 but i have started losing abit of my height has we all shrink.My doctor keeps a check on me with my weight and says i may shrink to be a height of 4'9 if i am lucky so i have been exercising and doing some stretching i cant afford to shrink now has it would look worse.

Awww...I'm 4'11 sometimes 5'0" =).  I do find it hard to lose the weight...but I'm glad there is a support group for us who are on the "petite" side.  I'm currently 142, wanting to get down to 110.  Oh, and I'm 19...(20 in november).
