    **UPDATE**

    I'd like to start late--I only joined the site a couple days ago, but I am shooting for 2 pounds a week and there are 2 weeks left, so who knows maybe I can lose 5 if I do well... sounds like fun to try anyway...

    Start Weight--Last weigh-in (early October): 252 lbs
    Current Weight: 250.5 lbs
    Goal Weight for month of October: 247 lbs

    ==Weigh-Ins==
    10/16/2013: 250.5 lbs
    10/23/2013:
    10/31/2013:

    Weight Lost: 1.5 pounds
    Weight Remaining: 3.5 pounds

    *Only pumpkin food I know how to make is pumpkin pie, and by finding ingredients with low sugar substitutes I would think it could be reasonably healthy...
