    Hoping to reach my final goal weight by the end of this year and start to figure out maintenance. I lost just over 6 pounds in the summer challenge so the weight is coming off super slow these days, but I am ok with that. My weigh-in days are on Tuesdays. Good luck everyone!

    STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL): 178 in July of 2018
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 143.6

    Sept.3: 148.7 just got back from a 4 day trip to Texas for FIL funeral. Lots of alcohol, stress, and food out.
    Sept.10: 146.5 still trying to get back down to pre-Texas weight. Haven't really been trying though.
    Sept.17: 146.3 Was much lower all week, but TOM showed up yesterday. Water retention!
    Sept.24: 144.3 started back logging and CICO last week, so this is a nice drop. 1 more week to lose a couple more pounds

    Sept. Goal: 140
    Sept. Actual: 140.9 9/30 weigh-in (super happy with this)


    Oct. 1: 145.9 have been super high the last couple of days. Hopefully it will come down soon
    Oct. 8: 144.9 it's movement. Have been lower all week, but this is after a 3 day weekend.
    Oct.15: 142.3 Finally some progress! Now to keep it up

    I'm late to the party guys but I was away in Sept.

    I'm 39 years old from the UK. I clean eat 90% of the time and am a regular at the gym. I am 5'11 so my target weight is 160-180lbs. My goal is to be at 165lbs consistently :)

    Came back from a Disney Florida vacation this week and I am 8lbs up so hoping that should go pretty quickly. My weigh day is Friday.

    FALL WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE 2019 (SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER)

    STARTING WEIGHT AND DATE WITH MFP (MY FITNESS PAL), Aug : 186.8
    CHALLENGE STARTING WEIGHT: 187

    Sept.2: 183.6
    Sept. 9: 184.6 (I believe this is actually correct...got a new scale last week, was not calibrated correctly! 😡)
    Sept.16: 184.6 ...weighed in again today (Sept. 20) scale said: 182.2!! so...I'm very happy about this! 😁 I'll try again on Mon., the 23rd...
    Sept.23: 181.6 (I am more used to weighing myself on Fridays so I will probably be posting to my updates here 2x per week...if I keep that up! So far, I'm doing OK... 😉 ...On Friday Sept. 27 I weighed in @ 180.6.~ lost another pound!! yea!
    Sept.30: 181.6 ...Well, that's kinda disappointing! I think it's partly due to swelling in my ankles, plus extra calories yesterday, AND most of all a real lack of exercise last week! But no worries here...I've hit plateaus before! I'll just keep on keepin' on!! Here's to a better week, right?!? 😉

    Sept. Goal: by the 30th I want to be down to 180.
    Sept. Actual: 181.6 (loss of 5.4 lbs)

    Oct 7: (will weigh in for this date when the time comes) Today, the 4th, I weighed in @ 179.6! So it pays to PAY ATTENTION,. .....right?!? LOL ....weighed in again today, Monday, the 7th ~ still @ 179.6. I was hoping to lose that ".6" over the weekend...but who can resist homemade mac'n'cheese??! Oh well...back to the treadmill...onward and downward, as they say.... 💪
    Oct 14: OK...so here it is, Friday 11 Oct ~ weighing in @ 177.6! lost another 2 lbs!!! 😁 See you all on Monday! ...~~ And now it's Monday the 14th, so once again....GOOD NEWS for yours truly: 176.8 lbs! I am feeling REALLY good about all this....lost 10.2 lbs, very hopeful about making my goal by the end of the year!
    Oct 21: And now, for my Friday weigh-in, I am now down another 1/2 lb: 176.2. ...very encouraging! I've lost 1.5 lbs in the past week, even tho' I have not had a chance to do any real workout in the past few days. But today will be different, I have promised myself! I am home all day so there is NO excuse! ...and I will see how Monday's results shape up...

    Original starting weight (March 2013) - 175.4
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    August 30, 2019 starting weight - 146.0 (ten-day rolling average 146.7)
    Ultimate goal - Maintain around 143 (range between 140 - 150)

    I had achieved my goal last Winter and gone into maintenance. I have mostly stayed within my goal range, but have bounced around a bit. Now as the seasons change again, a new maintenance challenge awaits. I'm sticking to it!

    September 1: 143.0 (10-day average 145.8) This is the meteorological beginning of fall.
    September 2: 148.2 (10-day average 146.0) Look how the scale went up so much but the average just a little.
    September 9: 147.2 (10-day average 145.2)
    September 16: 144.0 (10-day average 144.4)
    September 23: 141.8 (10-day average 142.7) Equinox - astronomical start of fall. I am now at my goal weight.
    September 30: 139.4 (10-day average 141.4)
    September Goal: 143
    September Actual: I passed my goal and kept losing. Not a real problem yet, and I'm happy with it.


    October 7: 139.2 (10-day average 140.0)
    October 14: 144.4 (10-day average 141.1)
    October 21: 142.2 (10-day average 142.4)
    October 28:

    Checking in a day early this week because I'm going to be on a tight schedule tomorrow morning. I kind of want to just wait and post a day late because I want to report a "better" number :smile:

    Weight lost this week: The scale says I lost 1.2, but ten-day average says I gained 1.3. I should be ok with this because they are both below my set goal and right in my goal range. But since I have been thinking about lowering both my goal and my goal range, it's a little disappointing to see the average go up. But it's mostly explained by three significantly higher days Monday through Wednesday last week. I should take my own advice and relax because I'm doing ok.

    October Goal: 143
    October Actual: Scale is back below goal, so that should make me happy.


    Challenge Weight loss goal: Range between 142-148
    Actual Weight loss for the challenge: I'm still in my goal range by scale and average. I am still considering lowering my goal range by a few pounds, but it won't be easy.
