September Weight Loss Challenge

chickadee32 · 08-31-2011, 07:33 PM

I can't believe summer is almost over, but September starts tomorrow and the time from now through the holidays is going to fly. Which makes me think that it's a GREAT time to dig in and focus on some weight loss goals - just think how much leaner and healthier you could be by New Year's if you get started on shedding those pounds today!! We'd love to be here to cheer you on as you work toward your weight loss goals this month, whatever they might be.

The rules of our challenge are simple. We are here to provide each other some accountability along the path to weight loss, so just set a weight loss related goal(s) and I'll add it to our goal list for the month. When you reach your goal for the month it will be turned RED in our goal list - and believe me, seeing your name highlighted like that for having achieved a goal you set can be a real point of pride!

We have a sister thread for exercise goals (September Exercise Challenge), and all your exercise-related goals can be posted there; this thread is for weight loss goals specifically.

We love to hear about your success as well as your challenges throughout the month, so please share them with us. We're here to support and encourage each other to be our best.

Cheers, all, to a successful September!

I am away on business this week, and so will set my goal when I get home this weekend and can get a start weight on Monday morning. Depending on where I start I'm thinking of aiming high this month - I would LOVE to get to that 100 lbs lost mark by the end of September!!

I apologize in advance that I also won't get the goal list made until Monday when I'm back home. I'm looking forward to seeing some great goals though!

Hi chickadee32! I am up for a challenge...I am just starting out, again, and am the heaviest ever so I am ready! I am new to 3FC so not sure how to post properly, hopefully this is the right spot.

My September goal...-10 pounds.

Good luck to you!

My september goal is: 13 pounds.

My goal for this month is 5 lbs. At least one pound per month.

My September goal is 8 pounds.

My goal is 5lb. Down to 131. Pretty meagre by everyone else's standards but that's a lot for me!!

Just starting this week though, so achievable.

I would love to set a 10 lbs goal for September, but I don't know if that's asking too much. Maybe I should set it for 8 lbs, about 2 lbs per week? Hum.... shoot for the gold. 10 pounds it is.

I've set a September Challenge Ticker, and I can't wait to get started! ......here we go!......

I'm definitely in, I really want to lose 10 lbs this month! Great idea!

My goal is 10 lbs for September. I am starting a new excercise program, so I think it should be feasible!

caramelkitty · 09-01-2011, 10:31 AM

Count me in! 10 lb in September!

2sw33t · 09-01-2011, 10:55 AM

I have been losing very slowly in the past several months so my goal for September is 5 lbs.
Hopefully by the end of the year, I can reach my final goal.
Good luck everyone!!
