Scare Off the Pounds for Halloween Challenge

Calling all Goblins and Ghouls! Summer is nearly over and there is a chill in the night air. Autumn is almost here along with falling leaves and falling pounds. It would be great to have everyone join this challenge as we head towards our bandiversary month. Let's take this to Halloween and see who can scare off the most pounds in 2 months! :thumbdown:

My start weight is three pounds higher than my ticker shows. I gained during the Labor day weekend. How can it be so hard to lose and so easy to gain? As usual my goal is small, but I would like to get into the 160's.

Good Luck everyone!

OK, I need this to get me going again. I may be a little ambitious in my goal, but I would really like to see me at 100lbs less than my weight at the time of my surgery. Right now I am 5 lounds away from my highest weight ever.

Right now I am 5 lounds away from my highest weight ever.

Do you mean your LOWEST weight ever? ;o)

That didn't sound right. Sorry. What I meant was that when I lose 5 more pounds, I will be 100 pounds less than my highest weight. I was 290 last summer and am right now at 195 give or take a pound. I want to get to 175 or 172 by Nov. 5, but that might be pushing it!

I'd like to be at least in normal range of BMI by my Bandiversary. Which would be 159 and lower. So I'll go for AT LEAST 15.5 lbs by Halloween, but hope for 20. :thumbup:

This is very hard for me - I'm coming clean here with my weight gain and actually moving my ticker, my precious ticker!, up to where I am right now. :crying:

Linda - it's OKAY! It's a long-term journey. Relax. You'll be fine. Be happy.

Steph Co - Holy cow. Where have you been? Welcome back. How was police academy?

Hey, Linda don't worry about it! I just got a small fill today of .25 and I'm sore. I'm at 7.5cc now. The nurse practioner said that I'm only down about 24 pounds since February. I hope to kick it up now. We'll do this together!

Linda way to go girl!!! You know years ago I was getting ready to head out to a WW meeting. I knew I had gained that week. With WW they give you a pass on weighing in if you really don't want to. You still have to pay but you don't have to face the music that week. I told my DH that I thought I would use my pass that week. He convinced me that the only person I was hurting was myself. I was trying to avoid the cold hard truth, that I had gained weight that week. I went to WW, weighed in and did have a gain, but I felt so impowered. Facing those things that you don't want to face is impowering!!! Way to go girl!!!!
