Lose 25 lbs by Oct 1st. (12 wks) Hope you will join me in t

oooh, my birthdays October 15, and that would put me just over the "lost 50 pounds" mark.
Sounds like a good way to stay on track. (at the rate i'm supposed to be on, I should lose 26 by then)
Sign me up.

Goal: 172 pounds

I cannot go a couple of days without checking into the Oct 25 lb club! How are you all doing?

I'm getting my 10 lb badge this weekend - I can just feel it! (that will make it 10 lbs since I started MFP, not since I started this group)

What badge is everyone else virtually wearing? - Jill

I'll gladly join in. This fits in perfectly with my "lose 30lbs by Thanksgiving" goal.

And btw- my scale isn't budging, but I'm not giving into that drama. I'm considering changing my weigh-in day. It's so hard working 3rd shift. When to weigh in!?!?!?! Lol. On a positive note, I usually pack on about 5 pounds of water weight when I have PMS, and the scale read 209.2 Thursday morning, so I hope that means I really have had a loss. Idk. Ohhhhh welllllllll. Lol

Jillica – I’m currently wearing my 35lb badge

I’ll be weighing-in tomorrow morning…not really expecting a weight loss this week (parents annual party last weekend)…but maybe I lost somewhere else

Keep up the great work!!

I'm with you JosieMomGramm! I'm a little behind on goal milestones, too.

Weightloss from July 14th - 1.4 lbs BUT I feel great! I just got my 10 lb badge and I'm getting all kinds of notices and compliments.

Here's to moving more!

Hey there!! Busy weekend so I wasn’t able to check in…but here are my most recent results

SW(7/4/11): 185.8
W1(7/8/11): 184
W2(7/15/11):182.6
W3(7/22/11):179.4
W4(7/30/11):179.0

Total loss so far: 6.8lbs

JosieMomGramm – you are still doing awesome! Great job!

Jillica – great loss so far!

I had a mini-goal of 174lbs by Aug 7th…but I’ve been playing catch-up since my vacation in June…so I won’t be hitting that goal, but I’m hoping to reach the next mini-goal after that!

It’s a new month so let’s make the best of it

Well, day 4 of doing the "complete entry to say 10 lbs lighter in 5 weeks" and I couldn't keep at it. I was exhausted! Although it was good in theory, very challenging for me in real life. Still looking for others who have done this? I'm going to take a break until I in a better place mentally and will try to do this again. The scale didn't bunch an ounce. But I still fill great and thin!

Thank you, CMG! It was quite a challenge. Keep up the great work yourself:-)

To the rest of you: Keep at it! Even if you are falling short of the 25lbs by October, don't give up. 10 lbs is better than nothing! And maybe you all are being REALLY successful and just not wanting to brag. Please, BRAG! This challenge keeps me moving forward and I would love to hear from you. We all have reasons that we are aiming for October. I keep checking this message board to stay focused and motivated.

I personally haven't budged much on the scale since I began this challenge - maybe about 3 lbs - but I FEEL GREAT! Measure yourself, body fat test yourself, try on those skinny jeans - 25lbs by October is nice but think of all the Non-Scale Victories that can be achieved if you stick with it.

morning all! i didnt check in last saturday after my weigh in. it was a busy week. but through all the eating out that happened through these last seven days, i lost 2.4 lbs. bringing my total to 12.8 so far since this challenge started. (i had to go back through my progress reports to figure that out! glad they have those) im halfway there! I did some calculations and that leaves me without about 1.7 lb a week to lose throughout the rest of the challenge, very doable!!!

Things are going to change for me slightly at the end of the month. Last weekend, i spent some time in the ER and got diagnosed with gallstones. blah. i went in yesterday for some follow up appointments and they scheduled me for surgery on the 31st of August. im unsure of how this is going to effect my weightloss. i was told that i will lose my appetite and a few others things that sound like they may cause me to drop a few lbs but not the way i want too. plus it will put a hinderance on excersising. (which i have majorly been slacking on anyway...)

i cant wait to lose the next three pounds...it puts me at my pre-baby weight. (still considered obese, but i havent weighed it since before my son who i had in 2009) i started out mfp when i got on a scale and realized i weighed the same as i did 9 months pregnant! so hitting this goal will feel great!

i hope all of you are successful this next week! and more of you that said you want to do it should speak up!! how are YOU doing??

I've been away for a whole week! Away from MFP; Away from thinking about the REAL value of all the food I ate; Away from exercising like i should. I REFUSE to even step on the scale. Here's to a succesful weekend to all of us! T.G.I.F.

I've had a very long and busy week. Weekend in Saint Louis with my hubby, my daughter's 6th birthday, concerts at the state fair. I have made a lot of unhealthy food choices, but have continued working out daily, so we will see what the scale says tomorrow. I am back on track today. No sugar, low carbs, clean and healthy eating:)
I'm so glad to hear that everyone is meeting their goals. Its time for me to start logging more time on the treadmill and getting serious about my weight loss.

I'll join you! Even though is August already, I wanna lose 20 before October 21st for a family wedding!! I need major motivation! And I am a great motivator too!

2 camping trips and the county fair have led me dreading the scale...I will weigh-in again on Sept 3rd (skipping this weeks weigh-in). I really need to get myself back into working out, jogging and making healthier food choices. I hope you're all doing well....and i look forward to hearing some more success stories from all of you

WAY TO GO, BELLIEFF! I need to step it up if I'm going to earn my 25 lb badge.
