OCTOBER Challenge!! It's official, this challenge has been going for over a year!
A new challenge month but the old spreadsheet.
So don't look for a new one of those, but continue to post your weight on the 'Keto Monthly Challenge Spreadsheet' which Nikki will update as needed. You can obviously also post your weight in this post and many do.
For anyone new out there; feel very welcome to join, we usually post our weigh Sundays and use the 'Keto Monthly Challenge Spreadsheet' also in 'Announcements' to track weight.
We use this thread to encourage each other and to add our weight as well if we want to and generally chat!
It's fun and it's been working and we've lost a shed load of weight between us. It seems to keep us going and even if we go up occasionally (and who doesn't!) we get back to it and continue the journey.
So here we go again, good luck in October.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I will be interested to see how I do with back to back measurements on the shared board (sept 30-oct 1)....my usual weigh day is Monday; though I have been checking in Sundays too...and Sunday is usually better than Monday
... but that’s what I get for drinking 1.5-2.0 gal water on Sunday
Good luck everyone!1 -

New to Keto...just started this week, but I need motivation!! I usually weigh in on Mondays...but Sundays should be fine for this. I am already going through my "water-weight" loss, so the numbers should be more consistent starting Monday...YAY!

My goal for October is to simply make it below the 270 mark.
Lord, give me strength to avoid all of the pumpkin-spice treats and "fun-size" candy that will tempt me this month!!! Good luck to all of you!8 -
Hi - I started last month. Quick question - is there a way of editing the original post to this challenge? I put my weight in the spreadsheet, but couldn't find a way to go back in to my original post to add weights each week. I have been averaging about 2 lbs per week, and hope that continues through this month. Can't wait to break 170 It's been a few years since I was in the 160's.
Starting weight 182.5; GW 140; Oct GW 162

I'm leaving for vacation on Wednesday so I will set that as pre-vacation. I hope to lose 1lb on the week of vacation (but I will feel accomplished if I do not gain).
I'm planning on staying Keto and work holiday celebrations into my macros.2 -

This month I plan to focus on working out. I do muay thai, but because of being out of town for work and a trip, I barely made a class in the past two months. My goal will be going three times a week.
The mid-160s is an ambivalent weight area for me. While down from my high point, being in the 160s is where I've mostly been for the past two years. I've sometimes been able to drop to the low 160s/high 150s, but almost always at that point loss becomes really hard, and things slip back up.
I will start feeling really excited/accomplished about this when the scale hits 158, which is also my halfway-to-goal point. If I'm able to do do even 1.5 pounds a week off in October, I'll make it. My new macros is 1350 calories, 90g fat, 100g protein, and 30g net carbs.
Fingers crossed!3 -
I'm in. Only lost 2.5 lbs in September, but am refocusing my brain. Hopefully, I'll get down to 260 by Halloween...

Hello everyone,
I am so glad I reached my goals for September. In October, i own it to myself to do more yoga and more cooking. Also more meditating and praying as we get closer to the end of the year.

Ending September close to my goal for the month so I definitely can’t complain! I’m now to the point where weight doesn’t matter as much to me as size does. I am still wearing a size 14 jean but could probably fit a size 12 if I tried. I’m scared to though. In case they don’t fit. My goal for October is to be in a size 12 jean very comfortably. Jeans are so unforgiving. 😂😂😂

Hi, @wendaeh ! There isn’t a way to edit original posts so typically people either copy/paste from past posts and then repost with the new details, or quote their last post and update with new details whatever is easiest for you! 1 -
I'm in! I started keto back in June and lost 20 pounds. Then I went off track. I haven't gained any weight back since quitting, but I'm not losing anymore either. I'm excited to start keto again today! Fingers crossed I stay strong this round. Good luck to you all this month! New to Fitness Pal too. I welcome all like minded friends! ADD ME! Keto On!
