For the month of September @DanceDiva234 made a wonderful discussion where we could all share our goals. I would love to continue this into October and keep our motivation up into the fall. So, would you please join me in posting and tracking your goals throughout the month?

    CW: 134
    October Goal: 130
    Final Goal: 123

    My heaviest was 165 and lightest was 115. I've been on an upward swing for the past several months where it seems like I can't control myself when it comes to food! I'm looking forward to having some gal pals for mutual encouragement along the way back to not busting through the seams of my clothing.

    Thank you for starting a new topic! I can't wait for October :D

    5 lbs was a bit of an unrealistic goal for a month. So for October, my goal is to lose 2 pounds.

    CW: 119.0 lbs at 5'0"
    GW: 117.0 lbs
    UGW: 110 lbs

    My other goal is to work out more regularly. A main issue why I don't lose weight is because lack of exercise. Hope everyone does well! Just remember, baby steps lead to great accomplishments. Be a doer, not a thinker. :)

    I'm in!

    CW: 145
    October Goal: 139

    Ultimate Goal: 120s-130s (I'll see how my body looks when I get there and decide where I want to go!)

    Height: 5'7"

    I'm also somewhat new to MFP and am looking for some accountability partners. I log my food most days and do regular weigh-ins. Friend me if you're interested in keeping each other accountable for our October goals!

    I'm in! I'm generally a lurker but I'm hoping announcing a goal will keep me committed. I've been gaining and losing the same five pounds for awhile, and I want to take it to the next level this month!

    CW is 124.5
    October goal is 119
    Ultimate goal is whatever weight looks lean
    Height: 5' 3"

    Yesterday was good! I had a workout when I usually wouldn't (I'm a Mon-Fri gal usually) and tracked my food. Not a super low cal day, but I had lots of energy and a good mood from the workout and am pumped I actually tracked! (I have become so lazy about tracking). Small steps!

    Thanks for continuing, i didn't do so well during September.
    My goal for October is to lose 2 or 3 pounds and to drink broth after dinner for a snack instead of having a mocha decaf.....or two.

    I didn't hit my September goal, but here's to happy October.

    Height: 5'7"
    CW: 175.3
    Oct GW: 169.7 (-5.5lbs)
    Ultimate GW: 160 or less

    I'm also tracking my measurements (neck, bicep, chest, waist, hips, butt, thigh (upper and mid), and calf). I used to go to Curves with my mom as a teenager and I remember even when the scale didn't budge too much, losing all those inches was really good motivation.

    I only lost a few pounds in September, but I lost over 8" total, mostly off my chest, waist, hips, and thighs (yay!!!).

    So here's to October's goals: Lose 5.5lbs, at least 5 more inches! To accomplish this, I'll keep up with my 3x weekly strength training, spin class at least once per week, Pilates and/or yoga once per week, and 4x walks per week that include at least 10 minutes of running. Now that the weather is finally starting to cool off in South GA, it's going to be so much easier to run outside again!!!

    Good luck, everyone!
