😔 so I've been in such a funk the past two weeks. I fell hard into a dark place mentally and I'm slowly getting myself out.
Hubby and I have made some October goals so I hope I can stay on track and have a good month....
*I would like to change my weigh-in day to Saturday please*4 -

My name is Megan; this is my 4th month! I am pretty much trying to maintain my weight within a pound or two. I am learning how to eat as my body changes as I age (10 days until FORTY!!!) . I am focused on avoiding added sugars and lifting weights to stay strong and healthy. This is a WONDERFUL group and I am so happy to be part of this supportive team.3

@allietuge, I've requested a change from Sunday to Saturday for you. I'm sorry you've had a rough two weeks. It happens. I'm glad you have gotten some new goals and I just know you'll make them.
@crystalbarton31, nice loss!
Happy "early" birthday!! When is the actual day? We're glad you're here too. You're an awesome team member!!

Hi all, back from a mini back vaca. We planned a quiet no rushing really lazy weekend. The weather here in Bucks County Pa has turned back to summer. The beaches in NJ where awesome, since it got warmer we planned no sitting inside playing board and card games we where on the beach everyday soaking in the sun. I am so ready for fall , please hurry and get here. I stayed well in goal all 4 days with very little snacking. The temptations was high but I resisted 99% of the time. my friends were eating well and snacking well. I just kept asking for low fat or low sugar. Back to reality. Have a great week everyone.4

Does anyone else have the feeling this is going to be a great month for our team? I am so proud of everyone for the losses we experienced last month. You GB's really rock! I love this team!!
For those of you who are new to the group, here are some weigh-in FAQs:
• When do I post my weigh-in?
Post on your "scheduled weigh-in day". So, if you posted a weight in the New Member Registration thread on a Tuesday, then your scheduled weigh-in day will be each Tuesday of the month. Let me know if you have a question.
• Why is Week 1 beginning on Sunday? Haven't we been already posted our starting weights?
Think of it as a first birthday. You're born, then you must live a whole year before you can celebrate being 1. In this challenge, you post a starting weight, then you have a whole week to work on weight loss before you post your Week 1 weigh-in.
• How do I post my weigh-in?
Your posts should look like this:
Username:
Week: October Week 1
PW: Previous Weight in pounds
CW: Current Weight in pounds
• What's my previous weight?
If you're new, your Week 1 previous weight is whatever weight you posted in the New Member Registration thread or check out the current spreadsheet to see what your posted info says. If you're returning, your Week 1 previous weight is whatever your weight was in the last week of the previous month.
• Team Dynamics!
A successful month will also include checking in each day with our team. Strive to become acquainted with everyone on the team and encourage each other in the successes and bumps we will all experience. Our members are invited to post daily following the guidelines of another challenge called UAC (Ultimate Accountability Challenge). Very simple, but effective, in keeping us focused on our health goals. Please feel free to join that monthly challenge as well. @RangerRickL does a fantastic job there of keeping us motivated daily. I don’t think I’d be as far along on my journey if it wasn’t for TBL and UAC. If you’d like to participate in those guidelines, post this daily with the results.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
Along with our daily check-ins, we will also have mini-challenges weekly. I do not want to be the person coming up with these ideas by myself so if you think of something that may be a good challenge during the week you can post the ideas on the monthly thread or send them to me privately.
• I'm still confused. Who can help me?
Just ask a question here and tag your captain (@BonnieHosk85), or your co-captain (@motis367). We do our best to reply as soon as possible. We want you to succeed as much as we want success for ourselves. If you miss your weigh-in, we will message you to remind you. Because we care. If you need to drop out for the month, just let us know. Feel free to private message us if you need to.
Blessings,
~~ Bonnie and Michelle

My goal for October: I want to hit 220 by October 31. I've been playing around with 2-4 pounds for several months. Not sure what's going on but I want to hit it hard in October and get past this deadlock I'm in. I have a wedding on November 9th in Orlando and I'd love to be down by 9-10 pounds. My goal for 2019 is to be down a total of 50 pounds. I'm at -35 now. I lose super slow, but I'm hoping by joining the new gym I'll see some serious progress this month.
What are your goals for October?5 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, cleanup and setup at church (cleaning bathrooms, setting out offering baskets, emptying trash)
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes

Mini-challenge: Had refined carbs, but put brown rice and quinoa on my grocery list today.2 -

Love it!! Nice goals!!! My goal this month is to continue to make moderate choices with food and exercise twice during the workweek for 10 minutes. I go hard so I don't feel bad it's so short!😎3 -
Hello everyone. I'm new here. I'm going to try to be consistent with controlling my intake. That's my biggest problem, consistency. Also I'm reducing my refined sugar intake to about 1-2 grams a day.
As for exercise, I'm 55 and not fit, so right now I can't do a lot. I'm exercising daily though. I go to the gym daily.6 -

Cheers to October!1 -
