Hi all,

It is 7 weeks until Halloween and I wanted to start a Halloween Weight loss Challenge. We could weigh in every Thursday until the 10/31.

9/12 - starting weight 172lbs

10/31 goal weight 165lbs

Please join me and Good Luck!

Current 159

Goal for Halloween -5 154

Ultimate goal 140

I have a question. When you join these challenges, what do you do differently? I feel like I am doing everything I am supposed to, and I will either lose something by Halloween or not, but it's not in my control.

Sorry if I sound stupid, but I very much want to join a challenge of some sort. I recently hurt my back and am hobbling even to walk so I can't join a mini fitness challenge, and these seem to be the only other ones...but I don't know what to do to be successful at it?

I don't think you have to do anything differently... it's just something that many of us use to try to get closer to our goal weight (motivation). It makes it a little fun and knowing we are all supporting each other can't hurt either.

Good Luck!

I am so in !

Halloween is the day I get in the car and drive 9 hours to TJ Mx. I will be checking in at the Marriott in TJ on Halloween eve, so this is purrrfect!

Starting weight today: 219

Halloween goal: 200

As to gamer girls question of what we do differently... When we have accountability and commoradery in a goal setting, we excel because someone else is watching and caring. It's much easier to cheat, delay, procrastinate and dismiss when it's just us looking. A challenge like this makes it fun and we have the accountability factor! Should we check in weekly, every Friday?! Great post I like it.

Oops starting weight 226 (5 weeks ago) and I'm going to change my goal to 199. Why not just say goodbye to the 200s and enter ONEderland with the poster above me :-p go big or go home! ( well actually well be going "small" but u know what I mean)
