 October Loss ~
 Thoughts: Here we go! As much as I believe in BIG goals, and would love to see a 5lb drop in a month, the weight is simply not coming off at that rate. I'm leaving the 5lb goal there for motivation, but I've added an intermediate goal of 2lbs. That is absolutely doable with consistency and discipline. Good luck everyone!
 October Game Plan & Goals: (Use stats from Fitbit 7 Day Summary)- Move to 2-week meal plans - Need to start writing them down
- Log meals & exercise daily in MFP
- Focus on daily 500 calorie deficit goal
- No calorie intake after 8pm.
- No calorie intake before 11am, edging towards noon for a 16:8 IF
- Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000 - 2836 ⬇
- Hit active minutes goal of 20 minutes daily - 32 ⬆
- Hit strength training goal of 3 days on & 1 rest day
 
 Strength Training:
 Squats, lunges, push-ups (elevated), arm circles, side bends, & tricep lifts. Adding planks and transitioning regular push-ups to scapula push-ups.- 10/1-4 - 50, 50, 50, Rest

 Let’s do this! I think I’ve found a balance I’m reasonably happy with at the moment. I still enjoy a meal or two out but behave for the rest of the week. It seems to be okay for now as long as I am also getting a few workouts in. Slow and steady wins the race.6

            I did the September challenge. It was my first and I'm proud to report I lost a total of 10lbs thanks to everyone's motivation and sharing. My problem tends to be that I lose weight quick but have trouble maintaining it or losing more after a month or 2. Hoping to keep losing weight but any helpful tips would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
