Welcome Zenasavvy, Sarah1090 and Fashionista-!

i'm in, restless_girl, since i'm clearly not going to make my september goal :/

is it possible, really, to be pre-menstrual for ten days?  really? 

thanks for all your work and encouragement!

Lol perhaps, i have no idea.
Welcome back, Pgeorgian for October!
 I hope you enjoy it.

Yeah? Why is October hard?
Welcome aboard Ablacksh!

count on someone from the southern hemisphere to not know why october is hard ;)  claire, we're all going into hibernation mode up here!  our evolutionary mandate is to hoard resources for a long winter, sleep 14 hours a night to conserve energy, only leave the cave during the warmest part of the day (so we don't get eaten by other hungry mammals), and eat everything we can get our hands on ;)

now - somebody give me some carbs.  i said NOW!!

welcome all new girls and hiya to all the old friends.  (  :

Just super stoked I made my goal for September, and if things keep up as well, I will be at my original weight goal of 150 some time in October.    WOO HOO  ---  I want to keep going and see what happens since now it seems almost "easy"

Looking forward to wearing my super suxy red devil costume for Halloween.   I have a big 3 day weekend date with the man of my new dreams.   Can't wait --- for so many reasons.  Good luck in October, ladies!

Pgeorgian - lol ah right, of course! sorry.
I thought it was some holiday season that only the northern hemisphere had! lol.
... Like thanks giving or something.

Olivia77 - Welcome back, good to have you with us again!
Congrats on meeting your goal for September and i hope you enjoy October!

I'm in, but should I post my weight now or next wednesday?!

Next Wednesday.
On the 1st.
If you can't weigh in on the 1st you're welcome to weigh in now if you would like!

:] Welcome to the challenge!

Hi everyone! I'm new (just joined) and this challenge sounds like a great motivational tool for me!  Can't wait to get started.  See y'all on Wednesday! Thanks!!

Welcome, Korri! I hope you enjoy the challenge! :]

hey everyone!

I am so in! sounds like a great challenge for me...except that i have to change weigh day to wednesday ahahaha.

good luck everyone

I'm in...

I'm new here so lets see how it goes!

Im in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AGAIN!!!

Here I am again and lov'in it, well sorta but Restless_girl is really a great motivator for weight loss.

I'll be traveling the 22nd through Nov but will try to get weighed in for the final.  I'm almost down to where I was a year ago before traveling and hope I can maintain during this trip.

I'm gonna join in on this one!

I'm in !!!!! Thank you Restless_girl for doing this again.  October is one of my favorite months we start on Oct 1 putting up over 70 scary creatures and for the entire month we collect money and non perishable food items for one of our food banks.  this is our 8th year for the display and the 5 year for the food bank.  the first year we only did it for a week and we got $65.00 and 60 lbs of food.  Last year we got over 600 lbs of food and $1269.50.  We have a block party this year on the 25th our city closes the street for 3 hrs and we have a BBQ which a local store donates the food for us to sell and all proceeds go to the food bank.  I have already had the little kids asking when we are starting.  It is so much fun watching the little ones and their parents who come by everyday to see who is new.  we have hundreds of people who come by and sign our Ghoul Book.  I will post some pics on my profile if anyone is interested in seeing them in the next month.

It's nice to have a support group.  I seem to lose a few pounds and then I stay where I am.  I have a Wii fit and I really love it.  My knees are not good and I need to loose 40 - 50 lbs but at the moment I would be happy with 5 - 10 so I am going to work hard this next month to achieve that.  When I think of how my lungs must look after quitting smoking 5 1/2 years ago ------- I don't feel quite as bad about the 40 lbs I gained.  Well I wish everyone a good month!

Happy weight loss everyone!

Bonnie

Hey Everyone!  I'm back calorie counting after a stressful time in school so I figured a challenge would be a great way to get back on track.  Count me in!

Big welcome shout out to Leahhh, Mom2b24, Mommaheart and Sruthi!
