For a lot of us, September is a time for returning to routines that work for us. What patterns do you want to develop around food plans for this fall?

Join the September 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: September Exercise Challenge - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hello again, gardenerjoy! Right now, I'm at 237...but a lot of that is a recent unexplained gain, which I can only assume is water retention, since I'm barely eating anything given my current health issues. So, I'm going to say 230 for the end of September, which is only 1lb. lower than my low point in August. Hopefully, I will start feeling a bit better soon and will be able to get back to living a normal life, instead of spending 50% of my day in bed!

Slight movement this morning, but it was at least in the right direction.

I’m excited to start a new month and hopefully exceed my goal. (I figured 1 lb per week is a reasonable goal for me.)

Ha! I got a nice drop between my last weigh-in in August and my first weigh-in for September. The one time that it doesn't "count" for a monthly challenge!

Moving pretty quickly, since a fair bit of my August weight was recent water weight gain after being sick. I expect I'll slow down soon. Good luck Joy and Wendy!

good luck

No complaints at this end. Even though I'm starting to feel better following my illness last month, I still have very little appetite, which is a good thing from the scale's perspective. Morning Wendy...I'm sure your splurge will disappear quickly. Good luck Joy!

Muffs: I'm glad you're feeling better and still seeing the scale fall. I know that transition can be tricky.

Wendy: I'm sure that a good day or two will get your scale dropping again! I hope you had a good holiday!
