    My October goal is to NOT gain any weight due to breaking my foot yesterday. SIGH. I will be monitoring my calories in very, very carefully, to stay at or below my allotment for the day. Without being able to exercise, I expect this to be very challenging!

    Height: 5'9"
    CW: 175
    October Goal: 175 (don't gain!!)
    Final Goal: 160

    Newbie to the discussions here! I'm really looking for some motivation to stick to a healthy eating schedule. I have a really busy schedule since I work full time and go to grad school part time. I usually find time to exercise at least 3 days a week, but I have trouble sticking to healthy eating habits. I'm also really bad at continuously recording my food intake throughout the day. Any tips/motivation is appreciated :)

    Hi! Newbie to the discussion community here on MFP. I'm interested in joining in on this for October. I would love any tips/motivation on sticking to a healthy eating schedule. I am pretty busy in general since I work full-time and am in grad school part time. I make time to work out at least 3 days a week, but have a hard time sticking to healthy meals.

    Hi I'm new as well :)

    Height: 161 cm / 5ft 3.5 inches
    CW: 125lb / 57kg
    Goal weight: 115lb / 52 kg

    The goal weight is a guideline for me, but TBH I'm not as concerned about weight as much as what my body looks like. Muscle weighs more than fat, and I'm working out more nowadays so I'm expecting to see some muscle gain. Also, people wear fat differently so it's really all down to when I can get a more flat belly and be happy with how I look :)

    I got kind of lazy this summer and stopped running , and also stopped eating as healthy and as a result I've gained about 7 or 8 lbs. My goal for October is to get back on track through exercise and eating properly and drop those lbs. I gained this summer.

    Hello! I am enjoying these monthly challenges. September went well! I started September at 135 and ended at 131. Today I was 130.8, so we will say 131.

    CW: 131
    October goal: 125
    Ultimate goal: 120.

    So I plan to run every day, salads for lunch and no afternoon snacking. And I am planning on giving up wine for October! :o

    So far am staying on track! I have signed up for a martial arts academy and have been going to classes as many days of the week as I can. I also am adding to my goals to walk to school more often when I can, rather than taking the bus on top of keeping up with the organized activity. I'll weigh in in a few more days so it will have been about a week and a half since the last time, we'll see if I'm making any progress so far!!

    Height: 5'1

    Okay a bit late (because I always forget I'm in groups!) but:
    Height: 5ft 6in
    CW: 144
    October Goal Weight: 140
    UGW: 120

    October will be weird for me since hubs will be leaving in a few weeks so 4lbs in a month is a bit lofty but definitely worth a shot!
