October Weight Loss Challenge
 

Let's fall into good habits and great results in October!

Join the October Weight Loss Challenge to set your goal, track it, and meet it -- with the help of a supportive and encouraging group. All the goals will be compiled into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.

Join us at our sister thread, October Exercise Challenge, to track your fitness goals.

Yay! Time to get some weight off before the Holiday Season begins! :crossed: I am really hoping to make it to the lower half of the 170's this month (and that won't be easy--the high 170's love me and hate to let me go :lol: ), so I'm shooting for 174 lbs. I'll post my starting weight tomorrow. Thanks so much for the new thread, Joy! :hug:

Can my goal be a non-scale related one?

Currently size 14
Goal size 12

Ok... I'll go for another 8 pounds next month. While I've gotten to 10 pounds all but one month so far, I KNOW that cannot continue!

So...

Start weight: 215.3
Goal Weight: 207.3 (-8.0)

With 2 months until Mexico this will be great!

October Goal

Ok,
This could be a big month for me! I am within 8 pounds of one-derland for the first time in 8 years!!! It's going to be a little tricky, lots of family events (with food), Halloween treats and my 17 year wedding anniversary (going out to special dinner), but I am gonna give it a really good shot! My additional goal is to walk/ bike a minimum of 5 days a week for 20-40 minutes each time. Thanks for the new thread Joy! Good luck everyone, your success and bumps in the road keep me SO motivated and realistic. We'll see what tomorrow brings for a start weight!

It's almost TGIF :cheer: First day of October and it definitely shows with our weather. But it's beautiful anyway, just a little chilly.

Jacqui & PrairieQueen Thanks and I'm so excited to be close to final goal. The months really went fast. I wouldn't have gotten this far so fast without the support of this forum :hugs:

Maintenance is kind of scary, but I'm determined to stay on the right track and continue my journal by staying active here.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Goal to lose: 10lbs. Ambitious I know, but I only have 2.5 months to go before Caribbean beaches and sunshine! Gonna keep up with the calorie counting and eating clean and P90x and biking for exercise. Love October!

Welcome, everyone!

Raisin5Cookies: yep! I set non-scale goals all the time. I'm setting a scale one this month just because I'm going to be out of town for nine days and it will be an easier goal to track for me.

My goal is to lose 1kg.

Goal 84.55 (-1kg for October)

I hit a major milestone today. I got to 50 pounds lost on this reboot (and one ounce). Just under 40 to go!!! (and until the last couple weeks, it's been easy). My goal is to get to under 200 by my birthday which is December 10th I think I can do it! (Being totally mindful that fall/winter is hard for me and the holidays will hit me hard too).
