It just occurred to me that Halloween is right around the corner and there's no Halloween Challenge!
I won't be wearing a "costume" this year, but I do have this fabulous black-tie wedding to attend, so I get to wear a gown. Kind of like a costume :)
I know a lot of you do the BL Challenges, but for the rest of us, I'm going to start this.
I will be 163 by Halloween. Yup yup yup.

Up 0.4 lbs, but that's okay because it was pre-bathroom and the 167.6 was post-bathroom. It should even out tomorrow.
Today is my "optional rest day" at the gym. I'm still undecided as to what I'm going to do. I kind of want to see "The American" because I need some George Clooney in my life, but I have a book club meeting on Sunday and I'm not even halfway done with the book, so in theory I could sit on the exercise bike and crank some pages out while I crank out some calories. Oh, decisions, decisions.

I made a BADASS sexy robot costume for one of my burlesque performances and I am going to wear it again for halloween. It's one thing to be doing a dance with it and another entirely to wear it to a house party. I'm excited to make it look as good as it should look.
Also this mini goal would put me at my *lowest weight yet* zomg

I like this idea, and I'm going to make this an ambitious goal. I may not make it, but I'm going to try. I've already set Christmas as my target to hit goal of 140 and as I'm 18 pounds away I'll set my Halloween goal at 149.
I'd like to buy a costume, but not have to look for a store that carries plus sizes. I want to fit in a normal sized one! (I might even now, last year was around 187 at that time)

I am so glad that I live in Massachusetts and we don't have to put our weight on our licenses.
I did 70 minutes on the elliptical (I wanted to see the end of GH...haha) and then ran for 15 minutes on the treadmill. But I was most excited about the fact that I ran 3 minutes at the 6.4 speed!!! I felt very proud of myself for pumping it up as far as I could go and lived to tell about it ;)

Small drop but I'm happy enough! TOM is nearly over so hoping for a little bit of a bigger drop after that! I've edited my goal weight (it was originally 74kg/163 pounds) because I may as well push for something a little more! I may not make it but it still feels good to be doing the right things.

Hello Halloween Challenge!
I'm going to push for 1.5 pounds per week. It's coming off more slowly now but if I stay on track I think I can do it. That'll put me right about a 10 pound loss by Halloween! My housemates all want to do themed costumes... the other three gals are super thin, I'm sick of sticking out so much.
And golly, I can't wait until I get a new drivers license with a new picture... my old is my nasty high weight. Round face. Bleck. How many years do we have before renewal? 4?
My current/start is: 173.0
Goal: 163.0

you girls have such good halloween ideas!! i just realized-halloween is on a sunday this year. i live in a town with sunday liquor laws (i think that's what they call it)-the bars aren't open on sundays and they don't serve alchohol anywhere. and they're only open until midnight on saturday. maybe i'll just go out on saturday and make it an early night?? i feel like if i actually do make my halloween goal weight, i should do something to celebrate-but ehhh we'll see. anyways, i just wanted to come report that today i've been feeling really motivated!-but i'm trying to use that motivation for school first and working out second. hopefully i'll get all my work done and get in a good run tonight!:)

My weightloss has slowed down recently, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to actually get under 160 before the end of October, but I'm going to try, darnit!
Good luck to everyone, and maybe we can brainstorm possible costume ideas? I have nothing as of yet and you guys see to be a wealth of creativity!!

Last Halloween, I was at my university's campus center until a little past midnight, studying. Great for my GPA, horrible for my social life. Even though they don't celebrate Halloween in this corner of the world, I'd like to be doing something a bit more glamorous (and to be more self-confident) at the end of this October. I'm thinking a new, svelte figure might help with that!

Hey ladies! If it's not too late, I'd love to join in as well. I usually don't like to make definitive weight goals for certain time periods (too depressing when you don't reach them), but I am going out on a small limb to say that I want to at least be in the 160s by the end of October. My aim is to get to 175 by the end of this month, so losing 6 pounds next month should not been to bad.

Oh girls, I am so in on this one. My weight is all over the place the last few weeks- time to lock it down and COMMIT! I'd love to set a Halloween goal, then a Thanksgiving goal, then a Christmas goal... I could actually be fitting into my skinny jeans by Christmas if I stick to it! :) haha And then... my birthday is in January so a BIRTHDAY goal! Oh wow... haha :)

Go Ma! :) I just started to count calories on Monday because I was frustrated that it was taking me so long to drop the pounds. Come to find out I was taking in more than I thought :( But I'm on the right track now! You're goal for Halloween is a bit more than mine, but our current weight is about the same! I try to weigh in only once a week (Monday mornings) so I am actually excited to see if my calorie tracking will make up for lost time.

So that current weight is just approximate. I should have a more exact number (as if weights are ever exact haha) to post tomorrow when I finally get back to the digital scale (it's been 2 weeks since I weighed on it!). I'm wondering if I should adapt my goal as I don't think I'll make it - I'll leave it where it is for now but I think I'll be really happy if I even get to 73kg/160.9 pounds which is a little over a 5 pound loss. Yeah. I'll be really happy!

LindsB, thanks so much! I'm a lot more active now than I used to be, and I'm living on my own now, so I'm in complete control of the groceries. I (usually) don't buy food items I'm likely to overeat, which really helps. But I think the single most helpful thing has been that I've had to incorporate exercise into my normal daily routine. I don't have a car, so I walk about 5k (round trip) every week day to and from work. Then in the evenings I either cycle or jog 5k (it started out as .5k, when I couldn't go any farther without my lungs collapsing) or jump rope for half an hour. But even when I get lazy and don't do one of those things, I'm still moving way more than I used to!

Happy Halloween Ladies!
Congrats to those of you who made it to goal!
To those of you who didn't we can do it in the next challenge!
I didn't quite make it, and I really tried so hard especially in the last week, have to rethink my calories a little bit I think.

Congrats to everyone who made their goal weights for this challenge. I missed mine by half a pound, still at 186.3 this morning, but I'm much happier with that than where I started!

I missed mine by 1lb. I'm hoping I can make up for it and still hit my Thanksgiving goal. I will need to average 1.25lbs lost per week to get there!

Hm, well it's still Halloween here in Hawaii, so I figure I'd post anyway. Unfortunately I was very close to my goal weight. I'm here this morning at 167.6, with a goal weight of 167 even. Oh well, hopefully my next little goal will be met!
Congrats to those who met goal, and best of luck to all on your next goals! :hug:
