Happy World Coconut Day (2 September) and World Water Monitoring Day (18 September) and International Talk Like a Pirate Day (19 September; Yar!) around the world and National Food Bank Day (first Friday in September), at least in the Estados Unidos.

@enlightenme3Β is still traveling, so I'm posting this month's challenge again.

πŸ˜€ Welcome all new first timers to this challenge and "Hello again" to those returning for another month, another year, another round. πŸ˜€

I joined MFP in February 2018. I had been trying on and off to lose some extra weight. MFP gave me the tools I needed to lose 30 pounds, and I have tried to keep it off since then. I've mostly been successful, but there for sure have been times when I slid back. Only continued vigilance will work to be successful, and fortunately that's possible! It can be nice to have short- and medium-term goal to break down a larger goal into more manageable chunks. So a monthly challenge with a weekly check-in is GREAT. I've been contributing to this challenge for several years, and withΒ @enlightenme3Β temporarily away, I'll try to keep it running.

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 betterπŸ˜€. I'm setting this month up for Saturday check-in. Do what works best forΒ YOU!

Pick whatever unit suits you -- pounds, kilograms, stones, or even Newtons.

Feel free to copy & paste the chart:

September 27:
October 4:

For those unsure how to do your weekly weight input:Β 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.

It’s not a race go at your on pace, imagine where you could be in 6 months time!πŸ˜€

Best of luck to everyone - have fun! πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

    Total weight loss to date: 7.2 lbs

    The goal is to lose a minimum of 1 lb per week to get into my never been worn wedding dress for our 20th anniversary vow renewal.

    A side goal is to lose 2lbs a week until December when I have to go to the corporate office for our semi-annual review. I only see my colleagues twice a year, and they’ve never seen me less than my original weight.
