    This is my first challenge. I started September 8. I’m using hypnosis to get me out of the way. I’m not using any diet just listening to my body telling me it is time to stop eating. I had foot surgery a couple weeks ago, so not much exercising for a few weeks.

    I would love to do this, if it's not too late! My normal weigh in days are Sundays, so I did weigh myself on the 1st. I am trying to get myself back on track- I am diabetic and my numbers have been wonky so I'm going to start carb counting along with diet/exercise to see if that will get the numbers back where they need to be.
    Original start weight: 302
    Starting weight (Oct 1, 2017): 256
    Goal weight (Dec 24,2017): 240

    Oct 01: 256

    I'm in! I started posting on MFP 3 weeks ago. I started at 164 lbs. I weighed 157 this morning. I am counting calories for the 1st time in my life. I have done many other diets in the past including low fat and low carb. I need encouragement to keep dieting. My goal weight is 145. I would love to be at this weight by Christmas. I am excited to join the challenge! I will check in on Thursdays.

    So I said I'd weigh in on Thursdays and even though we're only a few days in I should probably stick to it!

    SW- 81.9kg
    05/10- 81.7kg
    12/10-

    So about half a pound loss for you lb peeps :)
    It's not much, but I'll take it hopefully I can get under 81 by next week's weigh in!

    Joined MFP on 5/7/17 with OSW: 178
    Challenge SW: 10/1: 147.4 (goal to weight 140)

    10/8: 149.8 so...not a great week, was over calories for a couple of days, and alcohol/salty snacks over the weekend did not help. I am increasing my calories as I approach maintenance, and it is difficult. Back on the wagon...I am glad I can check in here and be accountable. Hope everyone had a good week!
