Hey yall,
Hope I'm not overstepping but decided to create the September edition of the challenge. Same rules apply. Weigh in as often as you like.
Original starting weight -190lbs
September starting weight - 173lbs (salt bloat from another birthday dinner)
September goal - 168lbs (my goal will always be to lose 5lbs. Anything else is gravy
Ultimate goal - 168lbs (also I don't want to be overwhelmed. So ultimate goal will always be my goal for that month). I haven't been in the 160s in a few years so serious goal.

Thank you for getting us into the new month @rednote49
Female, 5'3", 58 years old for 18 more days.
I will be weighing daily, it keeps me accountable and motivated and shows trends.
Starting weight October 28.18 - 191
August goal was 155 (Same as July goal) - lost 1.4 pounds for the month of August, lost 2.0 pounds in the month of July lost 0.7 pounds in the month of June. Slow going, but going. 4.1 pounds lost in 3 months, but 30 lost in 10 months so happy with that. It would be great to have lost 40 by October 28.19 - 2 months to lose 10 pounds, a girl can hope ; - )
September goal 153
Ultimate goal is 115
September 01 - 158.6
September 02 - 160.2 - Holiday weekend festivities caught up with me a bit. Hopefully I can get rid of that in a few days. Gained 1.6 in 1 day, took me almost 2 months to lose that much. It comes back way faster than I can lose it.

September Loss - ??
Thoughts: Ugh - going the wrong way. This feels like fluid gain, fingers are puffy. Did a lot of crazy work over the weekend - literally 3 days of cleaning my car, inside and out. I started the Squat & Lunge Challenge in another thread. I already do them as part of my exercise routine and thought the accountability would be helpful. I saw a weird weight spike back in the spring after a big activity push. I remember reading that our bodies can react to that physical stress with fluid retention. I hope this is the case. It's a discouraging way to start the month.
September Game Plan & Goals: (Use stats from Fitbit 7 Day Summary)- Move to 2-week meal plans 👀
- Log meals & exercise daily in MFP
- Focus on daily 500 calorie deficit goal.
- No calorie intake after 8pm.
- No calorie intake before 10am, edging towards noon for a 16:8 IF
- Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000
- Hit active minutes goal of 20 minutes daily
- Hit strength training goal of 3 days on & 1 rest day

Hello everyone.
Thank you for posting the challenge. I am new to MFP. Was a former WeightWatcher. Thought about joining again since I found it was a very good program for me, but since O took over local meetings are hard to come by and the online cost is higher. May upgrade MFP, if, and only if tech department can get my phone log in fixed (worked fine and then one day asked me to log in - since that time I have removed twice from phone, changed PW, etc. and still am unable to access via phone).
That all said the reason why I like MFP is the logging in of foods and exercises. It's database is extensive and I have had no issues finding the foods I have eaten and/or plan to eat. It is very much like WW except I am counting calories instead of points.
Stats
08/24 - Starting Weight - 195.0
09/01 - 189.0
09/02 - 188.8
09/03 - 188.2
09/04 - 188.6 - I am blaming the slight gain on hurricane Dorian. Stocked up with wholesome foods/vegetables but those darn Pringles (the only junk I bought) got me!
My ultimate goal is to hit and maintain my weight at 155. I have a medium to large frame and am 5'9". Once I start building back up the muscle, if I get much lower than 155 I start to look sickly. Another goal is to continue to log foods and exercise FOREVER! Every time I have lost and maintained for years as soon as I give up my journal the weight starts to creep up and I am back where I started. I am not so young anymore and I do not want to find myself in retirement as a sickly old lady who collects cats (lol).
I hope everyone has a great day!4 -

September Loss - ??
Thoughts: Former WWer here too, @suzstaats - loved the simplicity of the points, but you're right, the MFP database is extensive and the logging makes it easy to watch calories and macros. I also look sickly if I drop below my goal of 135 into what the charts say is "healthy."
I see an expected down-turn on the scale as my body adjusts to my accelerated exercise routine. Would love to see a whoosh, but I generally just see a steady drop for several days. Got three days in, today is a rest day - and I will go for a walk this afternoon or evening to keep the momentum going.

September has started and I am sitting at 101 workouts for 2019 at our local gym. My husband is 1 workout away from 100.
I have noticed that I am losing a bit of muscle in my arms so I will step away from cardio a bit and add strength exercises again. Initially, I started with a mix of strength exercises and cardio which I have learned leads to slow weight loss [10 lbs in 7 months] but I do love my small muscle gains.
Have a good September everyone!

Thankyou for taking over. After 3 years of my doing it lol
Good luck everyone, I hope you all reach your goal this month
I will not be participating in this challenge however as I still have mine to upkeep.
Good job last month everyone4 -
My weight gain in graduate school has really hurt my confidence. It's hard to find support because to most people, I still look small - but hardly any of my clothes fit and I'm not happy at this weight. My cholesterol is high now and most of the gain was fat in the tummy area. Struggling with overeating has made me miserable too, but I've decided I'm done. I had some success in recent months, lost about 12 lbs, but gained most of it back. Instead of relying on food to make me feel better and to enjoy life when it gets hard, I've decided to focus my attention on God - the only one who can fix my problems! Found this and thought it would be nice to share for accountability.
Consistent weight before the "grad school 15" - 108 lbs (yes I'm fairly short with a small frame haha)

Today I have officially lost 20 pounds since my start date of July 11th. I'm averaging between 3-4 pounds per week. I lost 6 this week, but this head cold is makes food unappealing. Still, I think I can lose 10 pounds this month! I weigh myself daily to keep the momentum.
