Well done to everyone who completed the May challenge, and a warm welcome to all newcomers!

Here goes for another half stone challenge!

Don't think of how much you'd like/need to lose, just focus on losing those 7lbs for June! See, it doesn't seem so bad, does it :D

This is a useful site!

http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/account/index.php

You set up your own target by inputting weight, height, how active your lifestyle is, and any medical conditions. Then each day you keep a food diary by inputting what you eat, and also an activity log. The site works out your calories for input (food) and output (activity). The idea is that you keep the input between 500 and 1000 cals below the output, but without dropping below the minimum food cals set by the site for your lifestyle etc. And best of all the calorie count site is free!

If you're interested sign up here and lets help each other :T

Remember - It's 2009 and we are doing just fine!!!

    Hi Dragon
    Can I sign up for June? I quite like the mental image of jettisoning weight!
    I'm starting the slimmer for summer challenge on Monday, so I'm quite excited to see how it goes. I'll post my starting weight later on.

    Good luck to everyone who is trying this challenge!

    Got you Carol! You don't have to post your starting weight unless you really want to - I am to try and keep me accountable and eating!

    Hey guys! Hope you're all well and getting some sunshine!

    I haven't been on much in the past few weeks due to broken leg, but finally got the cast off this week so will get back onto weight loss challenge... or never ending battle more like!

    I'm gonna stick to healthy eating, no junk, lots of water and swimming when i can get to the pool - hopefully 30-40 mins each time 2-3 times a week. Think that will be the only real excercise i can do for a few weeks as leg is still healing and sore.

    Weight is 13stone 2lbs at the moment and will be 12.9lbs by the end of June!

    Count me in though I will not be around much until late in June.
    Be interesting to hear if caloriecount.about.com makes a difference for anyone.
