It's Back to School time here, a wonderful time to get back to routines that work for weight loss and maintenance! Our monthly weight loss challenge is a great place to track your progress every month.

State your goal for September and join a supportive and encouraging group to help you meet it. We will compile our goals into a list. As each goal is met during the month, it gets turned RED in celebration.

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

My september challenge. Loose 5 pounds! Go from 158 to 153! I can do this!! If I want to cheat ask myself if it's Worth it!! and Keep my goal in mind!!

What would be a good goal for me this month? Not sure what to put, but I know being very heavy like I am, I would lose bigger amounts at first.

Sw: 137.5
Gw: 135

BestDaysAhead, welcome!
I know that you tend to see big numbers at first but, if you are like me, you still need to be careful when setting your goals.I tend to get discouraged easily and I'm not very forgiving. I AM my biggest competitor and worse critic! A lot of my struggle in losing weight is the mind games it causes in me.
I think 10 pounds is a reasonable goal for the first month. You can always make yourself a new goal, if you meet the one that you start out with. How great would it be to meet your goal and have to change it because you still need a challenge?!
I wish you the best of luck!
