I love the Fall, but with it come all sorts of fall goodies to indulge in--and it sure isn't great for the weight loss enthusiast! So I prepose a Fall Weight Loss Challenge beginning October 1 and ending November 30th! Let's ease into the Holidays with a fresh new jumpstart!

61 days and counting! Anyone game?

If you are, just reply to this discussion board with your goal weight loss for the next two months and check in every Monday with your weeks results. Let's encourage one another on and check in every week with how we are all doing!

I'll go first:

Current weight: 143.8
Goal loss per week is at 2lbs totalling 8 weeks= 16 lbs goal loss
Goal weight by November 31=127.8

Thanks for coming along! I can't wait to hear how everyone does!

"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever. In its place is something that you have left behind...Let it be something good." AUTHOR UNKNOWN

    I found the simplest way to find our Fall Weight Loss Challenge page...

    Go to Community, at the top of the page you'll see an icon on the far left that looks like a message, click on that and drop down to MY DISCUSSIONS. You should find whatever recent community link you have been in. Find our group and then GO back to the top of the page look for the STAR icon and click on this so you'll have a favorite!

    Let me know if this works for everyone!

    im in, just got my blood-work done at the drs to see if there is anything medically off with me, im not losing as i should be and easily gain back 5-10 lbs at a time that take months to come off. i do not over indulge often and my calories are set at 1600. Dr says I should definitely be losing based on my activity and such. This is the new jump-start I need to get re-motivated.

    I'm in. I'm currently 134. My goal would be 118. I have only been that once a few years ago and in high school several years ago. Got sick and put it back on. Will be huge if I can get it off again.

    I never seem to keep up with these, but I promise that I WILL TRY!!
    Current weight: 136.6
    Goal loss per week is at .5 lbs/week: Ideally a total of 7ish lbs. AIMING for 130, so that gives me wiggle room.
    Goal weight by November 30: 130
