September International MAP Weight Loss Challenge!

This challenge is officially closed.  No new participants can be added at this time.

Here is a link to our September map:     *~MAP~*

IMPORTANT POST INSTRUCTIONS!

Each Friday in September, create a new post with your weight and the date AT THE TOP, i.e. 9/7:  150lbs (or 68kgs if you prefer or both) 

Do not edit your original post.  I repeat - DO NOT edit your original post.  I won't be checking prior pages this month.

Below your date and weight, feel free to add anything else you like.  Reading your success stories every week motivates us all. 
 
If you miss two Fridays in a row, you will be dropped from the challenge.  If you know you?ll be going out of town, send me a pm and I?ll retain your data.  

A few congratulations are in order for our final week!  Congratulations to krismasself who made it down into the 210s, lifeizsweet - 150s, niashaluv35 - 240s, pamoline1 - 170s, pixyz - 130s, sarebear99 - 180s, thighs - 150s.  We didn't quite make it to our goal of 200 lbs, but overall I think we all did so well - especially those who have stuck with it over the last few months.  I'll have a little more to post soon....

Some points are very close together.  You may need to zoom in to be able to click on yours.  If you see any mistakes, please let me know.  Have a great week everyone!

hi i would like to enter, 164cm tall, melbourne, australia, will post weight on the starting date

its start date and my weight is 75 kg, good luck all!!!

I'm interested.  I am 5'8" San Jose California.  I will also weigh in on the starting date.

I am 5'6" and live in Cottonwood, Arizona

I'll do et.
I'm 5'6" and live in Carson City, Nevada.

cool auto-enroll...i was just about to sign up!

Let's get ready to lose more weight.  Do we post here or continue from the August Challenge?

hi can i join too. I really like the map idea. 171cm, 76kg starting weight (167 pd) Hamburg, Germany. (I'll be in France on Friday so I'll miss the first weigh in date, so maybe it is easier if you start with these stats - thanks!!)

Hi sapphireanderson, post your final weigh-in for August on our August weight loss challenge thread.  Your final weight over there will be your first weigh in over here, and I'll just transfer the numbers over here for you.  Only difference will be that on this thread you'll be reset back to a total loss of zero so the new folks can start fresh with everyone. 

Don't worry though - we'll be doing plenty of celebrating on our August thread this Friday.  :)

I would like to be enrolled for this Sept. challenge if I could please.  Good Luck everyone.

I'll go for this challenge. I did not do that well on last months, but that was due to some schools and vacation. I live in Oak Harbor, Wash. and I am 6'2", currently at 285. I will post again on Friday with my starting weight. Thanks for letting me join!

ok, stupid question. Will you update the Map or how do I go in and edit it to add my spot?

Papa

Hi Papa,
I added you  :)

Oh, this sounds like a fun!  A different twist on a monthly challenge, I'm in!  I live in an itty-bitty rural community so I'm going to say I'm from Topeka, KS since it's the nearest town of any size.  I'm a hair under 5'7" and will post my Sept. starting weight on Friday.  Thanks!

BTW: I'm a Mac user - the Firefox browser works with Google maps. 

5'6", washington, dc

Thanks Pixyz, I think this forum is going to be better than my last one. You can ask moodymomma1977 about that one. It was a joke. No accountability, no real set time/day to weight in. I will weigh in on Fridays as requested, but my "offical" weigh in's happen on Mondays at WW. I am currently about 65 pounds lighter then when I started. I will not be happy until I hit triple digits though!! I will stay with this thread as long as you keep it going. Thanks again, let's lose some weight!!!

Papa

Hello, newbie here,

I'd like to participate.

I'm 5 foot 3,  from Reading in England I'll post my start weight on friday.

Hi mctami, I put you down for Topeka which if fine because I'm not trying to identify anyone.  I can "geo-code" any place though. 

Eventually I think Safari will support Google maps.  I'm glad firefox and IE work, although I know some Mac people don't want either of those on their computers. 

Papa, congrats on the weight loss so far!  That's awesome.  Yeah - I hear ya about the challenges on this site, but I try to keep in mind that none of them are official.  They're just managed by everday folks like you and I.  I have seen at least one person on this site that I have termed a "serial challenge starter", and she doesn't follow thru with any of them.  It's unfortunate.

I joined Angietheone's challenge in July.  It was my first challenge, and I lost 5.5 pounds.  I was so excited and appreciative of our little group of support that I decided to help out and continue the challenge into August. 

I've done my best to stay on top of things, but it's not always easy.  People post late, or stop posting, or edit their original posts which are difficult to find - things like that.  You can check out our August thread to see my track record:  http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post/4890 8.html
I learned a lot about managing a challenge this month, so hopefully this one will run even smoother.  :)

hi i'd like to get in on this!! I'm 5ft 4 and from London, UK.

I'll be sure to post my start weight on friday :-)

  Can't wait to get back in the 'swing' of this. I'm doing better now. :)  I'll post sometime later in the week when i get weighed.  Thanks for not forgetting me.  Betty
