Autumn to Winter Challenge 2019
 

Inspired by boopchick's challenge last Summer, I now bring you the Autumn to Winter Challenge, which runs from September 23rd until the first day of Winter, December 21st, 2019

Whether you are looking to lose weight or maintain, all are welcome. Feel free to join in at any time.

Post your starting and goal weights and your weekly progress on your day of choice.

Autumn has a lot of Food rich holidays, so can be a tough time to stay on track. Let's all motivate and support one another.

Feel free to join me again in the spreadsheet:Autumn to Winter Challenge

I've gone ahead and set my goal to get into the 160s by the end of the challenge. I'm losing very slowly now, so even though it is only a few pounds, it will still be a stretch. I'm pretty sure I was in the 160s in high school, 25ish years ago, but was ok with how I looked and felt then, so rarely weighed in, so not 100% sure when I left the 160s. I might have still been high 160s when I left for college, but I was definitely in the 170s by the time freshman year was done. So regardless of the exact date, it has been a LONG time since I've seen the 160s.

I had set my end of year goal to be at 100 pounds down, which would be 167.4, but as long as I'm close to that, I'm happy.

I do terrible with challenges but I want next summer to be better than this one was so I have to start somewhere. I'll probably figure out how to navigate the spreadsheet by the 23rd!

UMM YES! Thanks Lacerta for this!

The final day of my challenge is the day hubby & I leave for our belated honeymoon. I'd like to have nice numbers prior to my two weeks of eating "all in" lol! What perfect timing. :)

Adding in my numbers now!

Edit: Well, my goal will be 10 pounds down from whatever my Autumn's end number is! Which...I secretly hope is below 150 :lol:

Haha, you don't have to do the spreadsheet at all if you don't want to, but all you need to do is put your name, your starting weight and your goal weight in the first 3 boxes of a row, then your weight each week on your chosen day. The boxes on the right will take care of themselves.

Also :welcome: and Good luck

I think I did it right. Just ask Rie, I have screwed up her spread sheet in the past!!

Count me in!! :-)

I'll be joining again as well! I can't believe summer is basically over!

My 5K is this Saturday and I didn't work out like I planned of course lol I think I'll beat my record time though!

I'm getting ready for a trip home on December 26th, so this is perfect timing for me. I'll get my starting weight on the 23rd, and adjust my goal if it is too much/too little

I'm joining this challenge!

I have a family trip on December 23 so it's near to my goal date for the moment.

I've done a challenges before, I hope this time I'll be able to stop binge eating.

My weigh in day is usually Monday. Keeps me honest over the weekend! I've adjusted my goal to 18.5lbs lost in this challenge. Im hopeful that 6 lbs/month is doable, despite a vacation and the holidays being in the middle.

Thank you for starting this Lacerta! I had forgotten to update my stuff from the summer to autumn challenge. It felt good seeing my progress this morning!

Thanks for starting this again Lacerta! This is the challenge that kicked off last year's weight loss so i'm going for it from the beginning again!

SW: 277.8
CW:277.8
GW: 257.8 (-20 lbs)

Woop woop!
I am 152/153 after a Saturday of all-in eating. :lol: With that said, I know it's not pure fat gain and will stick to the same goal: 140!

Since I also suck at finishing challenges, let's make this the SECOND ever challenge that I see through to the end! :carrot:
