    I would like to be a part of this challenge. I need to start participating and holding myself accountable and hopefully in the process starting to believe I can do it!

    Sept 9...I guess I did better than I thought, was pleasantly surprised by the scale this morning. I haven't been very mobile because of pain in my legs and hip, seeing a chiropractor but not helping yet, hope to do some walking this week. Thanks for the challenge, it helped me this past week for sure!
    Sept 16..I blew it over the week end and that is usually my signal to give up but I'm trying not to do that this time.
    Sept 23..Well, it's coming along, but I can't take credit for the loss. I am still trying to find out what's going on with my legs and hip, even the chiropractor can't help. Waiting for a cat scan. Thanks again for the challenge, it helps to keep me focused.
    Sept. 30...Well, I made my goal but can't take the credit for it. I have been sick this month trying to figure out what's going on. This is a good start so I will hold on to the loss and keep on track when my appetite comes back. Thanks for the challenge!

    September Start Weight: 152
    September Goal Weight: 150
    2020 Goal Weight: 145

    Sep 1: 152
    Sep 8: 153.5
    Sep 15: 150
    Sep 23: 153.5
    Sep 29: 152.5
    Sep 30: 150

    Final Thoughts:
    I never replaced my scale, so can’t be sure this final weigh-in number is correct. Overall, though, I feel like this past month was a mix of staying really focused and disciplined during the weekdays and then getting really indulgent on the weekends. I think I need to work on the scarcity mindset: even though I’m allowed to enjoy myself, the approach can’t be to shovel as much of the indulgent foods as I want. I will have another opportunity to enjoy myself, so it’s okay to be a little moderate.

    Anybody else have insights and reflections on what worked or didn’t work?

    Congrats to everyone for making it through September!! I'm hoping to level up for the last 3 months of 2020!

    Heaviest weight: 175.4 in early 2013.
    Original MFP starting weight (January 2018) - 168.2
    August 31 starting weight - 145.8 (10-day average 145.5)
    September goal - 144
    Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148

    I report scale weight and (ten day average weight), and I post on Saturdays.


    August 31: 145.8 (10-day average 145.5)
    September 5: 143.2 (10-day average 145.6)
    September 12: 142.8 (10-day average 144.5)
    September 19: 146.0 (10-day average 142.9)
    September 26: 144.0 (10-day average 143.3)
    September 30: 146.4 (10-day average 144.1)


    Total loss for September: About 1.4 pounds. I got down to my goal weight, but then I bounced back up. Oh well. Today is a new day, and I'm still maintaining within the bottom half of my goal range, and that's fine. I will be back at goal in October!

    In case there's no October challenge, it's been nice staying in touch with you and your successes and struggles on this month of your journey.

    I hope I'm not stepping on toes, but since nobody continued this challenge to October, I decided to just post it HERE.
