π Welcome all new first timers to this challenge and "Hello again" to those returning for another month, another year, another round. π
I joined back in September of 2021, which was my first month back on MFP. In the first 9 months, I lost 40 pounds and use this challenge as motivation to stay on track. It is nice to have a medium-term goal that gets broken down into manageable chunks.
Pick your own goal, check in once per week, and at the very end of the month. Let's keep encouraging each other & staying focused on our individual goals.
You can change the dates to suit you, but try to keep it weekly as it shows off the weekly progress betterπ
Pick how you want to weigh as in lbs kgβs or stones
Feel free to copy & paste the chart:
October Start Weight:
October Goal Weight:
Ultimate Goal Weight:
October 1:
October 8:
October 15:
October 22:
October 29:
October 31:
For those unsure how to do your weekly weight input:
When you want to do your weekly update do a search for your original post, copy and paste as a new post in the add post box then you can edit in your new weekly weight. A lot of people also maintain their post in a notes application on their device and just cut and paste into a new post.
Itβs not a race go at your on pace, imagine where you could be in 6 months time!π
Best of luck to everyone - have fun! ππ

πππIβm a 5β2β, soon to be eligible for Medicare girl from the Pacific Northwest. Took a βbreakβ from weighing and logging over the last few monthsβ¦ always a mistake! Gained back 6 or 7 pounds. Time to get back on track, one jug of water at a time! One pound a week seems like a good goal for October!πππ

@takinitalloff Yeah, the weight just came right off at first. All I've been doing is portion control, staying under 1300 calories and walking every day. Started barely being able to go 30 minutes (about a mile for me) and now I regularly do 3 to 4 miles in a day which takes me 1 to 1.5 hours. I know a lot of the weight was water because I was so swelled up, especially in my legs. The weight is getting a lot more difficult now. Took me two weeks to get from like 243 to 241 and I went all the way back to 245.8 in between then bounced around 243 for a full week. It was very frustrating, but I'm back on track and focused again. I'm definitely being more realistic with my weight loss for this month. The weather is changing and my husband wants me to find a job so not sure how much longer I'll be able to walk every day. So we'll see. And then the holidays... I do a lot of baking between Thanksgiving and Christmas so all bets are off. Personally, I'm assuming I'll gain like 10lbs back in December, lol. I can't resist homemade kolackies.6

I'm in! My name is Stormy. I've been a member of MFP since 2016. I've been as light as 148 and as heavy as 209 in that time frame. I do best on my weight when I have a group to help support and motivate me. I have a feeling this will be such a group.
