    Goal: 135

    Seems little but it's been so hard to reach those last few pounds.

    That's two pounds per month. That's about right. That's pretty much the math I came up with when I reach 140 pounds. The last 10-15 pounds are gonna be slooooow.

    HAPPY OCTOBER AND WELCOME TO EVERYONE WHO IS READY TO JUMP START THEIR WEIGHT LOSS IN OUR FALL WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE!


    ENCOURAGING WORD OF THE DAY...

    CHANGE has been a major theme in the past few months from some who have commented on our discussion board for why they want to participate in our Fall Weight Loss Challenge. 'I want to CHANGE a habit, CHANGE a dress size, CHANGE the way I look, feel, behave etc...'

    If you haven't yet, tell us WHY you are here and what you hope to accomplish more than losing the weight. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO CHANGE?

    Do not underestimate the effect these CHANGES will and do have on your whole person. I believe most of our battles with weight loss is in our minds. And the changing of our mindset is key to our successes. Think about the way you talk about yourself! Have your words been uplifting or downgrading? Whether you have 5, 50, or 150 lbs to lose, begin speaking positive words over yourself! When THINK positive and move forward in this process we will BE positive and begin to see significant changes happen from the inside out!

    WHAT YOU THINK IS WHAT YOU WILL BE!

    What you have been through up until this point has equipped and prepared you for the days ahead. Be vigilant! Stay relentless! You will look back at this time and see the value of your separation from that which is no longer valid, (maybe it was that entire cheese cake, that extra glass of wine or bag of nacho chips...whatever your triggers are that cause you to over indulge) separate yourself from it! It is no longer useful in your quest for the better you! One day, one choice, one step at a time!

    Have a great day of amazing choices and positive thoughts about what you are doing!!

    I am in too. Currently I am at 129, I want to get to 124. I know it's not a lot, but last year at this time I was 144. I had some medical issues and dropped down to 114 at the lowest (it probably only stayed there for 1 or 2 days) and I have been creeping back up. I don't want to recover all that lost weight so stopping the incline and getting back to the desirable weight of 124 is the goal.

    This is so funny - I was doing a mini-challenge with just myself for October, so this is perfect! And why not keep it up for another month. I need motivation and I'm very susceptible to shame ;)

    My goal is to workout, in some form or another, every day in October! I like feeling strong and hate feeling slow and out of shape like I did during my workout this morning! I'm also a burlesque dancer, so I'd like to get some confidence back after splurging too much this summer.

    Current weight: 200
    Goal weight by end of November: 184

    Alright, this is on folks!!


    My official start weight is 190, nice round (pun intended!) number for me. I was weighing myself in the kitchen, which worked out fine in the summer as I wasn't wearing a lot of clothes, but since the weather has turned cool I was forced to move it up to my bathroom. My clothing was adding about 1.5 lbs! Ummmm, no.


    If anyone wants to do some movement challenges within this one I'll join you!

    I'm definitely in! Please add me.
    I'm tall and lanky, not sure ideal weight for me. Need to lose 10 pounds for sure and then see where I am at. I'd like to start doing some weight lifting after I lose the weight to build up some muscle.

    Looking for 1-2lbs per week weight loss for total of 10 pounds.

    It's October 1st...and we're off....

    Got on the scale this morning and this body was 195 pounds (BOOM!!!). So yeah I lost another pound and only have 14 more to go. :)

    What do I want to change? I would like to fit into a size 14 pants by the time I hit 181 pounds. Not sure but I think that's possible...I guess I'll find out. I'm 5'5" tall. I haven't been that weight in 15 years so I can't remember what sizes I wore at which weights.

    I want to change my overall health. I'd love to go up stairs without getting winded.

    I want to change my wardrobe. For years I've told my boyfriend that I don't like this dress, or that pair of pants, or that shirt not because I actually dislike the clothes, but because they didn't look good on me. I want to wear a swimsuit without wanting to cover my stomach and thighs.

    I want to change my mindset. I want to know that if I don't have the piece of cake today, that doesn't mean I will never have cake again! I can wait to eat all my favorite foods, switching between foods, and eating in moderation.

    I want to change my attitude towards losing weight. It's not a bad thing, and I don't have to settle for being overweight!
