Okay ladies and gents, you asked for it, a Fall Weight Loss Challenge.

How it works:

This challenge will be for a 10 week period, starting today, September 5th and ending Monday, November 14th (just in time for all that Turkey and other goodies on Thanksgiving). Everyone is welcome to participate.

1. Make a weight loss goal for the 10 week period.

2. Post your start weight as of the day you join the challenge.

3. Post a photo of yourself at your weight as of the date you start the challenge.

4. Weigh in each Monday and post your progress here.

5. At the end of the 10 weeks post an after photo of yourself so we can all join in seeing and celebrating your accomplishment.

Hi,

Oh, Margo, don't pull out, just don't weigh until the last day. It's not "ILLEGAL" to not weigh in every week. If it makes you crazy, don't do it. Just check back in on the last day and see how you did. Chin up! You are doing great! See ya on the last day, okay?!!! ((((hugs))))

Posting tonight because I won't be around tomorrow - busy, busy day.

I'm down 5 this week, that's -18 for the challenge (my goal was -15- yay!)

Margo- Don't stop! I went through a time where I gained and got very discouraged, but it's gone now - thankfully. I'm sure whatever setback you're experiencing will be gone soon too. Please don't pull out of the challenge... you never know what might happen next week!

I just started to lose again! 201 this morning.

I lost 2 more, bringing my total to 27 pounds gone!

Okay please DON'T HATE ME!

I lost another 4 this week. I definately give some credit to this weight vest I've been wearing AND the fact that I worked out hour and a half MINIMUM everyday.

My brother's wedding is over now so I can relax a bit now and get more into the real world of weight loss. But I'm kinda in the habit so I'm going to keep up this workout schedule for as long as I can.
