Lose 5 pounds a month OCTOBER 2010 CHALLENGE

Posts: 1,405 Member
edited September 2024 in Health and Weight Loss
I challenge you to lose 5 pounds this month. That is a little over 1 pound per week. That means by Christmas you could be almost 15 pounds lighter. Who is?

Just post your starting weight on October 1 and then post an update on your weigh-in day.

Please feel free to share tips, encouragement or ask for support when you need it.

Hope you can join me in this challenge and meet or exceed it.

Terri

    I'm in I have been trying this with out logging to see how things work out last week no gain but no loss either. I only have 5 more to lose so if I can do it in October that would be great. Those last 5 are the hard ones though. Good luck everyone.

    hijackson6 - I'm there with you! I only have 8 1/2 more to lose and I'm afraid a plateau has been hit. . .so good luck to both of us getting those last pounds off!! :wink:

    I am definitely in! I am trying to lose 17 pounds between now and Christmas (or New Years, I'm not picky about a week) and breaking it down into 5 pound increments for each month will be SO helpful! I was at 216.8 on Monday, but I'll reweigh on Thursday to start the October challenge too. :)
