    Started MFP 10/20 - 179.6
    10/28 -172.8

    6.8lbs

    I just started running and my diet was super bad before I started MFP so its probably water weight from dropping all the salty foods

    1st Oct: 144.8
    8th Oct: 142.4
    15th Oct: 142.0
    22nd Oct: 138.9
    29th Oct: 137.3

    TOTAL LOSS: 7.5lbs

    Very pleased with that actually.

    I'm cheating a bit by taking today's result as my official final weigh-in, because I'm going to be partying hard tonight and the scale will definitely be up for a few days afterwards! Should mostly be water weight though :)

    Looking forward to next month guys!

    I'm in. Just lost 5 in Sept, but Oct will be much harder.
    Sept 1 = 132.8
    Oct 1 = 127.8
    Oct 8 = 127.4 (yup, October is harder!)
    Oct 15 = 127.2 (Captain Incremental is clearly in charge)
    Oct 22 = 125.8 (it's been a very rough month, so I'm happy with 2lbs thus far)
    Oct 29 = 126.8 (ugh. well, pure muscle no doubt!)
    Nov 1 = ????

    Super happy with my 5 lbs lost. Last week was thinking I wouldn't make it. This challenge kept me on track and helped me to not give up.

    Still recovering from my cold, but managed to get out for a 30 min walk + 20 min run today. Hopefully the exercise will kick start me into healthier food choices. I've been eating way too much for the last week. I'm hoping to reverse some damage and not to have to post a gain this month.

    I stayed the same last week so its a 4lb loss for the month for me. Was hoping for better but I have lost 13.5 inches in the month also so I am pleased with that. Not meeting the 5lb has pushed me into being even more determined for November!

    HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! Had my Halloween 5k yesterday and went as 'Where's Bru' lol ;) It was freakin' cold and windy, the race was very hilly and I'm still fighting this bug, but I didn't do too bad. My brother, Tyler, competed with me and he took 2nd in his age group! Sweet! And now he's asking about the next 5k.. lol . I think he's hooked!

    Next 5k is this coming Saturday. Really hoping to meet or beat my personal best, but as long as I finish, I'm happy. No more 5ks for me til next Spring now..

    The scale is playing tricks, but that's ok, I had a very high sodium day yesterday, so I expected a gain.

    SW Oct 1st: 195
    Oct 7th: 192.6
    Oct 14th: 193.2
    Oct 24th: 192.6
    Oct 31st: 193

    2lbs, I'll take it.

    Great job everyone! See ya next month!

    Well, I was away last week and so completely missed out on the weight in, but at the end of the October challenge...

    Week One- 124.5
    Week Two- 120.5
    Week Three- 120.5
    Week Four- ...
    Week Five- 118

    So I made five pounds in the end, even though I had a couple of terrible weeks :p

    Well done everyone :)
