October is a great time to get all of our healthy habits in place before the holiday season. What will put you ahead of the game this month?

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.

This thread is for weight loss goals. For your exercise goals, check out our sister thread: October Exercise Challenge

I'm in again this month:
Start: 197.4
Goal: Lose 3 pounds

Hi everyone,

I would like to join this challenge. My goal is 5 lbs. I usually weigh myself every couple of days rather than every day. Good luck everyone.

SW: 155.8
GW: 150.8

01: 155.8

Hi! A late start is better than none at all lol. My weight today was 286, planning on cleaning up my eating because I’ve been actively on a wlj for nearly 11 months and that’s about 30 lbs down from where I began (at 316.8). While I’m grateful to be significantly smaller than I was when I began, that’s pretty paltry given all the mental gymnastics I’ve endured, my starting weight, etc. and I KNOW I can do better. Time to prove it.

Maintain weight below 86 kgs

4: 85.55 kgs

Today’s weight (10/4) was 285.2 , goal for October 279.9 (to finally break free from the 280s don’t choke and don’t cheat!)

Way to go, KStrong! That's great to see such a significant milestone!

Welcome, everyone! Here's our initial list. Did I spell your username and state your goal correctly? Did I miss anyone? (I usually don't ask that, but I had a computer glitch in the midst of compiling this list and I may have lost someone)

Candidcamster: -5.3 lbs
flower1: -5 lbs
gardenerjoy: maintain below 86 kgs
GettinFit: -3 lbs
KStrong: -3 lbs
VickieLou: -10 lbs

Thank you Gardenerjoy, yesterday’s weigh in (10/5) was 284.9 lbs which is my lowest yet. I also just discovered celery for a snack, hoping that will help me on my Health journey.

Way to go Kstrong, and yeah it’s been a rough year but I want to find my silver lining.

Hello everyone I hope you're all having a good week.
Congrats KStrong, Candidcamster and VickieLou on your losses. Great job!
