Happy Global Dignity Day (third Wednesday in October), World Water Food Day (16 October) and International Chef's Day (20 October) around the world and National Do Something Nice Day (5 October) and National Taco Day (first Tuesday in October), 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:

October Goal Weight:
Ultimate Goal Weight:

October 4:
October 11:
October 18:
October 25:
November 1:

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˜€

Remember to bookmark⭐️ this group- makes it easier to find πŸ˜€

    I have my own thread, but I haven't done a public challenge before. After the dust settled it turns out I gained back more than I'd thought - about half of what I'd lost (dealing in very small numbers since I started at a healthy weight) - while I was sick for 2 months and not paying attention to my diet πŸ˜‘ So what the hell, maybe I'll give this a shot.

    October Start Weight: 148.4 lbs

    October Goal Weight: 147.0 lbs

    Ultimate Goal Weight: undecided... somewhere between 135-145 lbs

    Good Morning, my name is Loretta. Just rejoined MFP. I was eating Jenny Craig years ago and lost 95lbs. Now trying to stick to food in it’s original form. Trying to get back on track after a very stressful few years but I don’t want to relive that right now. I’ve gained 40lbs back of the weight I lost. I’ve been able to lose 20lbs of that during a recent move and have now stalled. Hoping a challenge will help me to continue to reduce consistently.

    @Cass2536 A nearly 33 pound loss in 7 days? I'm assuming this is a typo?
