Hi all, This is a continue of the Sizzling in September Challenge. It will stay open all month so anyone can join at any time.

Rules: Not many... Weigh day is Friday, please message me so I can keep up. Do we want a different weigh day? I usually weigh Mondays, and log it on MFP, and weigh in on certain days for any challenges I am in at the time. The forums are hard to keep up with for weights. Start day is October 1st, First weigh day is this Friday. I want this to be fun for everyone, so give me some input as to what you all want to do.

We can have weekly goals that I will post here, and small daily challenges. I know with work and family life things get busy, so just try your best. I'll make a spreadsheet of our weights so we can see the progress for the month. I need something to keep me going, so feel free to add anything you would like to do this month.

So, the stats we will be tracking is weight, if you want to measure you can, I will track it. I don't have anything to measure myself with so I don't measure, I let my clothes do the talking for me. :)

For those wanting to measure, we can do chest, waist, legs and arms?

I'll post the link to the spreadsheet Saturday!

Bring on the comments! I want a big group of people to keep me going!!!

Jenn

    I would love to join in this with you.. i don't have a lot to lose but could use some motivation and accountability. i think hips would be another good area to measure.

    Ninja, I took your start weight, unless you see friday that you want to change it.

    So, for those of you doing measurements:
    Bust/chest
    Waist
    Hips


    Do we want to measure arms and legs??? We can I just am getting a poll of who wants what... I never measure so I don't know what to measure. lol


    I am also working on the weekly goals, anything you all are having trouble doing? like getting water in or anything? Something you really don't like to do but if it was a challenge you would more and likely do it?

    OH! do we have anyone who does Kg instead of Pounds?

    Hi! I would love to join this challange! I've just started using MFP, and I love it!! I'm from Brazil and I hope to get to the summer with a thin body so I can rock my bikini! :)

    In October I would love to lose at least 6 or 7 pounds (3 kilos - I'm in the metric system.)

    I stared my weight loss in July, 10th at 166 (75,5kg) and I'm now at 145 (65,8kg). My goal is 115-120...

    I added you both! I can do Kilo's for you both is that is easier for you. Just remind me it is Kg, when you weigh in. lol

    Akemy_M, I think you are the farthest away! Welcome! I love this site, everything about it! I have met so many wonderful people from everywhere!

    So, where is everyone from? I live in Indiana. I have 13 yr old twin girls and a 9 yr old girl. Married for 10 years this month, and we have 2 labs.
