Wink Month long challenge (14 Oct)

So...I rejoined fat club yesterday and on the website it says 'Join today and lose 10lbs by 14 October 2005' so I thought a little month long challenge may be good as the other one is finishing soon. So I'm going for the 10. Bad news is I weighed in at *mumbles quietly* 273.5 pounds so my target for this will be 263.5 pounds.

Anyone and everyone welcome to join in.

Well done on rejoining, Veggie

I'd be in, but my mum's over for 3 weeks of that month so it might be a little optimistic

Still, just for the record, my "official" weight is 192, but I've actually been nearer 191 for the past couple of days so that would put me at somewhere between 181 and 182. Which would be amazing, if a little unrealistic for October...

If I do it I'll drag up this post, if I don't I'll conveniently forget it

Talking Count me in!

I'd like to keep focused as I've finally started to lose again. Right now I'm 1.5 pounds from Onederland! so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get there by the end of this month.

My goal is to lose 5 lbs. by October 14th.

Good luck everyone!

Yay for people joining me! I like my new shiny fat club book hopefully I won't record many gains in this one. My 'at target' sister will drag me to fat club every week no doubt.

OK OK. I'm in for real this time!

New job is going OK and I think I have some brain space left over for ME!

I have dropped 2lbs in the last 3 weeks so I guess I could make an efofrt and lose another 10 by Oct 14th.

I'm in! I'm less optimistic than all you other folks - I'll aim for 6lbs by 14th October to keep up my 1.5lbs a week average. Yay, and if I make it I'll be 13 stones!

OK, a month...

I'm going for a whole 1lb in a month! That would make it more than I lost last month But really I'm more concerned with the inches at the moment. I appear to have toned up a fair bit in the last two months according to the photos we took yesterday

We want piccies. I'll pledge 5 pounds, my weight loss is very slow at the moment. Not weighing in regularly as it is just depressing me. I weigh in again on Tuesday and do all my measurements. This 199 is taking forever to reach. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Count me in.
I've fallen off the wagon big time.
I've put ten pounds on in the last two weeks and have'nt dared lurk let alone post!
I've got back to school and post holiday blues, and can't stop reaching for the tea and toast.
I don't know whether to go back to slimming world, as its just around the corner from me or to look around for a w w.
I don't believe s w will work so I don't try hard enough to stick to it, but going to none means I eat very thing in sight.
Well done Veggie for rejoining good look this time.
I'll go for 5lb.

Hi there. Would like to join you all as need to focus on my weight loss. Don't want to go back to WW where I lost it all before as have just resigned from them as a leader! (It was because I wasn't being paid enough NOT cos I had put some weight back on! )

There isn't really anything else worthwhile here apart from doctor's etc. so would like and need some help. The idea of a challenge, something specific to go for seems a good idea - and it was that sort of thing that helped me in the first place. So, will try for the whole 10 lbs!! (Am off to Edinburgh for the weekend for my nephew's wedding so not getting off to a very good start!) LOL

I am starting another thread about why we put weight on and would like your input as well please.

What fat club did you rejoin Veggie?

Ann
