    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

    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!

    I'm 48. I have a ton of health issues.

    I'm 5'1.5"
    CW: 183
    12 week goal: 173 (tho, I'd be happy with 175)
    I'd like to get down to 140-145.... still chubby, but not obese (plus one of my health issues will make it very hard to get all the "weigh" down to the goal weight for my height/build.

    I will weigh in on Mondays.

    @michaelapo - Anyone can join, no matter how far into the challenge we are. Good luck!

    @hpaloma92 and @Wraiythe - It's easy to 'fall off the wagon'. The hard thing is not getting too hard on yourself, and then getting back on your agenda. Focus again on your goal and leave this behind. This challenge is suppose to encourage you to move forward to help you achieve your FGW. Don't give up the ship.

    @jennyw1969 - No judging here. You pick your FGW to match where YOU want/need to be for a better way of life.

    @beckyr06 - We have a lot of newbies here that are showing a desire to do better than their 1st week results show. We need some more cheerleaders as I am out of my league trying to do this, but I will try. I never felt like I failed with my shortcomings because of people like you and @GoBlue1981 during the last challenge. Thanks for the inspirations again!

    Total loss since challenge: -2 lbs

    Success / struggles of the week:
    scale has been messing with my head, BUT I have been doing better at drinking for water. I bring a 4L jug of water and i have lines up the side. I carry around a water bottle that i can refill and i put lemons in it (infuser) and then see what i can do. Ive done pretty well but my bladder hates me

    Joining late but I'm in.

    My weigh days are Monday as it helps me to control the weekends. So I'll give my start weight as of today and then again on Monday. Short week but let's see what I can get done.

    10/12/17--- Start 180.4

    My goal for this challenge is 160. With two big holidays coming up it will be tough but THAT is part of the challenge.
