Feel free to start a couple days early if you typically weigh in on the weekends. Otherwise, just start on the day you normally weigh in.

For those of you who want to weigh in today and get a jump on the October challenge, have at it. I plan on weighing in on Monday morning - October 1st - since my September challenge ends that day. Good luck. Make sure to post your Starting Weight (SW) and Goal Weight (GW). As we head on to the second week, we'll add the Current Weight (CW).

Edit (October 1):

SW: 162.5
CW: 162.5
GW: 156.5

Any questions, let me know.

    Of course I'm in! I participated in August and September and have done very well. Why stop now? My weigh in will be Monday morning. I have only 1 more month until my annual biometric screening and my goal was to radically decrease all my numbers from last year. I now have a month to crush it!!

    I'd love to join you! I have set multiple goals this year and am sick and tired of not making them!! Time to act with a vengeance! I ultimately want to be down about 26 lbs by the end of the year. 6-8 lbs in October would be the perfect start to that. :)

    I usually weigh in on Mondays, my last was 179, Goal of 172 by the end of October. I can't remember the last time I was at 172 so that would be a fantastic achievement!!

    Looking forward to this journey!!

    Started at 219 in May. Today 203, so that'll be my starting weight for this challenge, & 6 pounds down would be 197. Breaking the 200 barrier would be great! I crossed that last year when I had a blood clot & my whole system went wacky from meds, etc. Getting back on track now. Ultimate goal is 132 to be at healthy BMI. (I'm really short - 5'1".)

    I can do this 6 pounds too! It has been an amazing journey to drop so much weight.

    I am too young to be fat! I have too much to gain in life not to lose the fat!
