@enlightenme3 is still traveling, so I'm posting this month's challenge on their behalf.

@enlightenme3 would normally say, "πŸ˜€ Welcome all new first timers to this challenge and "Hello again" to those returning for another month, another year, another round. πŸ˜€"

@enlightenme3 joined back in September of 2021, which was their first month back on MFP. In the first 9 months, @enlightenme3 lost 40 pounds and uses this challenge as motivation to stay on track. It is nice to have a medium-term goal that gets broken down into manageable chunks.

Pick your own goal, check in once per week, and at the very end of the month. Let's keep encouraging each other & staying focused on our individual goals.

You can change the dates to suit you, but try to keep it weekly as it shows off the weekly progress betterπŸ˜€

Pick whatever unit suits you -- pounds, kilograms, stones, or even Newtons.

Feel free to copy & paste the chart:

October Start Weight:
October Goal Weight:
Ultimate Goal Weight:

October 1:
October 8:
October 15:
October 22:
October 29:
October 31:

For those unsure how to do your weekly weight input:
When you want to do your weekly update do a search for your original post, copy and paste as a new post in the add post box then you can edit in your new weekly weight. A lot of people also maintain their post in a notes application on their device and just cut and paste into a new post.

It’s not a race go at your on pace, imagine where you could be in 6 months time!πŸ˜€

Best of luck to everyone - have fun! πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Remember to bookmark⭐️ this group- makes it easier to find πŸ˜€

    Thank you, @mtaratoot !
    I'm Chris - 74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
    ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
    My husband and I are retired.
    I see my trainer for 60 mins three days a week and try to walk the other four days. The walking doesn't always work out.
    Heaviest: 192.2

    My name is Donna. I am 64 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall. My highest weight was 253 in 2016. My MFP start weight was 235 in 2018.


    Ultimate Goal Weight: 145-155 (I’ll know it when I get there!)

    Start Weight (from Sept 30th ): 193.6

    Goal Weight: 189.6 (4 pound loss)

    End of Challenge Final Weight: xxxxx

    Weight lost/gained this month: xxxxx





    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.


    10/01-193.6-(Trend Weight: 193.8)- I’m stalled today on the numbers, but looking back I seem to be hovering around these same numbers for a good two weeks now. It’s time to get serious and put a dent into it. I’d like to be back in the 180’s by the end of October. Time to have a good month. Let’s do it!


    10/06-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-
    10/13-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-
    10/20-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-
    10/27-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-
    10/31-xxxxx-(Trend Weight: xxxxx)-


    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
    250’s; 240’s; 230’s; 220's; 210's; 200's; 190's; 180’s; 170's; 160's; 150's
