    I'm thrilled that we have 12 members who've signed up for the Autumn Leaves Challenge. It puts a bounce in my step to know that we'll all be there for each other! I'm a few days from the end of my first challenge, Costume Changers...and it's truly helped me keep going. With that extra push that I needed I'm close to the goals. It's okay that I probably won't reach the 5% goal of weight loss, at least I'm farther along than when I started almost 6 weeks ago!

    To have another challenge to jump straight into will be good for me and I hope it'll be good for y'all. Please feel free to post anything here about yourself, your latest favorite healthy food, what keeps you going, where you are on your journey...anything that comes to mind. I think the more we get to know each other, the more we'll bond as we go forward on this challenge.

    I'm a costume changer too and have no way I''ll reach my 5% either, I have been juggling 4lb all summer, just hope it' will shift soon, this is a great challenge focusing on strength rather than calorie burn or hours worked out

    I totally understand about the juggling...it can be really disheartening. Maybe you and I can take this frustration and aim it at finding a solution. From everything I read and hear, strength training is essential to losing weight. I've put off and put off adding it to my days. No more! I've now got a little piece of gear in my garage I can use and I'm thinking I should join my community college gym for November. It's just $20 for the month.

    Something that's helped me the past 2 days is a podcast that was recommended here on MFP. It's called "Cut the fat podcast". The two people on it give advice about what to eat in relation to exercise...which is something I've not really considered before now. It's a free podcast that you can listen to via an iPhone...or iTunes, I think, or an iPod. I've listened to the 1st 4 episodes while driving, gardening and walking...and ended up repeating them cuz i want to absorb what they're saying.

    Anyhoo, glad to have you on the team for November...let's move that scale!

    Hi, I would like to join if it's not too late :smile:

    I am in Australia so technically it is spring here but the challenges sound great and I would love to be part this group!!

    After having a little break from all things diet and exercise :blushing: I am ready to start again and hopefully finally make it to my goal. I really need a challenge like this to get me going.

    Looking forward to getting to know you all.
