That's a pretty lofty goal unless you just started on your journey and have probably more than 100 pounds to lose. Just my opinion.
I have mini goals of 5 pounds. I never put a date on that mini goal. It's always achievable and keeps me motivated.
Good luck!4 -
Happy September folks!!

September:
Start: 261 lbs

I like to shoot for 1-2lbs a week. So between 4 and 8lbs a month. If you're just starting out, you might expect a little more as your body drops some water weight and adjusts. But really, keep your expectations on the lower side, so if you lose 5lbs you're super excited and not mad or disappointed that you didn't hit a lofty goal.
Take it slow and steady at first! You got this, girl!!!โญโญโญ3 -
SW: 286.5

Burn 3000 calories a day (per fitbit device)
Drink 150 oz water a day
Walk 5 miles a day (per fitbit device), 11,000 steps

Log food everyday, for better or for worse.
Looking forward to hearing from everyone this month as we track our progress together.5 -

My goal weight for the end of September is 230. My son's wedding is coming up in mid-October and I hope to be at 225 (100 pounds lost) by then. I want to not be embarassed to have my picture taken at the wedding. I got way off track this month, but now I am back on the right path!10 -

My goal weight for September is 219. I am training for a half marathon relay so I plan to run 2-3 times per week and on non-running days, I will do OTF. I have a work trip coming up that will be full of food and wine so I want to be mentally prepared to enjoy but not overindulge during the trip.4 -
@savannahs21
Thanks for the links! I'll definitely check those out.
I attempted some sort of ab video over the weekend that just about killed me!2 -
@nicruns, i do anything that says easy,walking, beginner, low impact, or obese workouts. They are the only ones im able to do for now.2

I set 10lb mini-goals to motivate me to keep going. I had an AWESOME AUGUST, so I am ready to keep the momentum for September. Now that the weather is cooling a bit in Houston, I'm signing up for a couple of 5ks, just me and my daughter.
@mrshadsall - You will look fabulous for your son's wedding! I understand the dread of taking pictures...my daughter had her Sweet 16 party this year and I remember the panic I felt when the photographer came around. Thankfully I had a kind photographer that took flattering photos - the photos were great and I am happy I let myself enjoy the party.
@ChickieBoom22 - I'd love to see London! It's definitely on my top 5 things to do. Are you going with friends or a special someone?5 -

I have quite a bit of family there and two girlfriends are coming with me. Iโm really looking forward to this trip.
Congrats on your awesome August!! Iโm hoping to have an awesome September. 10lb mini goals are a great idea. My next mini goal is 235 and 212 after that. These are random weight milestones that I remember from years ago. I have vivid memories of weighing 212 so that will be a big one for me.1 -

September Goal: 220
I just briefly touched 226 this weekend, but lost it. I'm back on the wagon today. Trying to stay motivated and engaged. Hopefully the weather will get better so that I can walk more, and I'm hoping to increase my water intake during the day. Middle of this month will be my 7-year anniversary, and I'd love to feel more confident on that day.4 -
Hey guys! Just starting back and could definitely use some support. May sound crazy but I am not really focusing on the scale at the moment. I am focusing more on just logging, making better choices, and drinking more water. I figure once I am back in the habit of actually focusing on the food, I will focus on the scale.
Would love to add some more supportive friends.11 -
Had a brownie for lunch because it was a colleague's birthday so he bought them in. Really kind but I find I get derailed so often by friends and colleagues. I know it's my fault and I should say no, so tempting though! Anyone got any good willpower tips?!
1. Run at least 5 times (2 so far)
2. Eat under 2000 calories per day (three days in a row)
3. Avoid sweets, cakes and biscuits six days of the week (nope, two days of giving in to temptation already)
4. Drink alcohol a maximum of twice (once so far).
5. Drink eight glasses of water a day - managed it today!2 -
September is off to a rough, rough start. I ate 2000+ calories yesterday and Sunday, but also on Friday I ate under 100 and Saturday under 800.
Thank you, stomach flu. I love binging uncontrollably for days because I was starving for days. How did you know. /s
I'm up like 4 lbs of bloat today from eating so much yesterday. And I'm in pain again because my flu-inflamed stomach was in no way prepared to eat that much.
I hate being sick so much.6 -
sw: 305 cw: 256.4; gw: 160; other goals: control salt/sodium intake (heart patient); walk 3-5 miles a day.3

I am really glad I came across this thread! September is going to be a busy, busy month, so I need all the accountability I can get!
CW: 238lbs
GW for end of Sep: 230lbs (2lbs per week)
UGW: 160lbs
I will be jogging (as in fast walk lol) my sixth USAF 10k in about two weeks. I won't have any issues walking it, but hoping to keep up my time and jog some as well like I did a few years ago! I'll be candid, my non-scale goal goal this month is to cut down on my wine consumption. It isn't affecting my daily life, but it is a bunch of unnecesary calories that absolutely derail my progress. Here's to only having 1-2 glasses on the weekends (yes, I do log the calories!). I need to break the habit.

Starting over today after a long season of not caring and definitely in need of support and encouragement.
Iโve always been for and active but in the last year Iโve battled with depression and ended up in the hospital as a result of a suicide attempt. I lost track of myself and I need help remembering to care again: I want to feel good about myself again!10
