September/October weight loss challenge

[Possegal]

For 8 full weeks, this one actually goes to November 5th. Pretty soon I may need to set up a 7-week timeframe to get things back to two month challenges.

Let me know
(1) if you want to join in
(2) what your weight is on Friday the 10th of September
(3) what your goal weight is for 5 November - if you want to, if you don't want to set a goal like that, then no worries.

I'll post the link to the chart later in the week.

Count me in this time! I am actually trying to NOT lose much more weight, so this will help me to keep an eye on things. I have to keep building my mileage base for the next 4 weeks so this will help.

Put me down for 128 by October, that should be realistic and give me a little room to work with...

please count me in again. August went the wrong way and I need to get back on track. My weigh-in will be a little late this week, as I'm away on a field course until Sunday. I'll report back then.

Thank you again Possegal for keeping us all on track!

Oh, definitely count me in! I actually start a personal challenge on Friday that will take me up to Christmas Eve (15 weeks exactly), so the timing works perfectly for me.

I'll weigh in on Friday for my starting weight. Goal weight will be 145.

Glad to help folks! I renewed my commitment to tackling this weight on Tuesday. Emailed my sisters, said I know I sound like a broken record, but time to get myself in shape and develop some healthy habits. I've set out weekly changes. Rome wasn't built in a day, right? This week was bringing a healthy lunch to work and not eating out or skipping a lunch. Next week will be eating a healthy dinner too. Then getting an hour of exercise the next week. Not that I can't start those things sooner, just giving myself some leeway to not get all on track right away. Plus, dealing with some lung inflammation that I'm hoping goes away without steroids, so the exercise thing can wait a bit (other than walking more).

I'm in again too. My goal weight is 153(.9).

I am 151 today and want to be 143 on November 5th. Thanks so much for doing these challenges!

[limewave]

I'm at 157 this morning.
I'd like to revise my goal slightly to 152(.9)

Thanks Possegal!

I'm very new to this board, but would LOVE to participate! I've already lost 15 but I fell off the wagon about a month ago and gained a few pounds back. Maybe this will get me motivated again.

I am currently 146.5, goal is 140.

Thank you for doing this!!

Welcome aboard GodivaGirl! You will find a lot of inspiration here, and lots of helpful advice as well.


Here is the link folks - let me know if it isn't working. Still have all the names from last time on there and I will clean that up in a week or so, after people have a chance to chime in about giving it another go this challenge. (easier to wait and delete than retype, yeah, I'm that lazy! )

I am 150.4 this morning.

[limewave]

Well, that's weird. And I don't think it's a fluke as it's been consistent all week.
153 this morning.

I guess I'm changing my weight goal for this challenge.
Possegal--can you please change my goal to: 148.

Thanks!

Possegal,

Thanks for keeping the charts for the group, kind of you to take the extra time for us.
