Hi there! I had posted a thread about a 6 week challenge last week and wasn't sure how to gather everyone together. Hopefully this reaches everyone and we can band together to reach our goals.

Mine are

1. Lose 12 lbs by Halloween.
2. Change my workout routine a little. I've been in a little funk.

Can we post under the topic, "6 week fall challenge folks"?

I can't wait to hear everyone's goals and updates :)

    I never saw the other post, but could I still join? I keep wanting to join a challenge but always find them too late...haha

    If so, my starting weight is 268.

    And my goals for the 6 weeks are
    - Lose 15 pounds by Halloween
    -Cut down my latte drinking at work from 1/2 a shift to 2 a week (they are lowfat, but still! I've been going crazy with them)
    -Workout 5 days a week, no skipping days

    I would like to join, Starting weight is 332. just started at anytime fitness so I'm optimistic that i can do it.
    I have to get this weight down and really need a good goal and kick in the butt. :happy:

    I hit my all time high weight on 9-23-09 of 362 and I can't go back there.
    I have got to get it together and loose it and keep it off for the rest of my life.

    My hubby loves me just the way I am but living life as a fat girl really sucks, looking for cute clothes sucks, there are no cute clothes for people over 300lbs dresses look like moo moo's. there are plenty of cute clothes in the plus size mail order mags but there modeled by skinny people, when I get them and put them on it all looks like I'm wearing a sack. I would like to be able to go in the a store and buy clothes off the rack for normal sized people, and not have to wear 4x mens fruit of the loom tshirts

    I would love to join also. I have lost 20 pounds since July 1st, but the last 3 weeks nothing lost b/c I have been slacking. I need to get back in to the groove! I would like to be down 15 by Halloween, which is going to be tuff cuz we have 2 birthday's in October and we are going on vacation Oct 8-18, but hopefully this will be the motivation I need!

    This sounds good 12 lbs by Halloween!

    I'll keep to my 1200 calories with healthy food, cut back on the Chardonnay to 1 glass Friday and one on Saturday, and exercise a minimum of 30 minutes 5 day a week.

    Hi everyone, I would like to join this challenge too if I can. 3 months ago I was doing great, had lost 45 lbs, then wham, I let myself into the potato chips and everything went downhill. My goal is to get back to where I was before the evil chips, so I am going to lose 14 lbs by Halloween. Good luck everyone!

    oh wow I would like to join I'm one week new to the program and I think challenges are motivating. I recently won our unofficial 30 day biggest loser challenge (amongst friends) and I tell you the motivation that kept me going was just knowing that I was challenging others. Eventhough it is already 9/23/10, and 9:15pm here in Japan, I believe that I could meet a sustainable 10lb loss by October 31st. I'm all in

    Current weight:236
    10/31 Weight: 226

    I plan to achieve that goal by continuing with the C25k, calorie control, 120oz of water daily (my usual), Zumba, & meditation. Oh & I want to limit my Pepsi intake from one a day to 1 a week to hopefully cut them out all together.

    Well if yall will have me I'm in. Thanks
