I'd like to jump in as well... I'm at 143/144 right now, and originally I was hoping to get to 135 by Halloween. That is most likely not going to happen, so my revised goal is 138, 5.5 lb loss.
As for halloween costumes online, I'm not sure as all the ones that are mass-produced are either very poor quality, expensive, and a little too slutty, or good quality, very very expensive, and reasonably slutty as well. I usually like the effect of making a costume (or putting it together from secondhand pieces) rather than buying one, but I'm worried about making my costume this year. I'm going as Little Bow Peep, and I'm not sure I can construct that out of nothing.
Hopefully I can reach my goal by Halloween which was actually my set goal date anyway. I have 7.5 pounds to lose, but I will settle for 5 because I have been doing a lot of strength training also. I need all the motivation and support I can get. I went on a mini vacation this weekend and have been finding it really hard to get to the gym.. (
How's everyone doing? I'm at the end of Day 2 of being recommitted to WW. So far so good and I was pleased with myself because today on campus I DID NOT buy a snack (good for me and good for my wallet!). I just bought a diet coke and sat with a friend while he ate and had some Special K Mini Breaks that I brought in my bag. Huge step for me! Hope you're all having a good week so far!
Ok, I have a hard time sticking to posting on challenges, BUT I'm going to try and be accountable. I'm at 159.8 today and would really like to be 154 by Halloween (-5.8).
I'm in! Starting now at 149. I want to lose 6lbs in the next two weeks for a special occasion... But, I'd love to make it a full 10 and be 139 by Halloween! I got a very... um, interesting costume that requires showing some leg.

Okay, I'm going to have to add posting here each day as part of my goal for this challenge because I've been lacking motivation lately. I think it's the cold dark mornings that make me want to stay in bed rather than workout.... but if I'm going to reach my goal I need to ramp it up. So here it goes.
I did go for a run this morning so hopefully this is the beginning of being back on track.
Yesterday was fun but I overslept and didn't make it to the gym, and then for dinner I went to a Chinese buffet with my bf, so I am not on track so far for this month. We usually only see each other on weekends, and I try not to restrict my eating around him bc it makes him uncomfortable. But he has to work Saturday, so I'm kinda thinking of yesterday as a substitute weekend day with him since I can be OP on Saturday.
Alright, after thinking about it for 3 days, I'm going to join. I keep jumping between 192 and 196, and really, this has GOT TO STOP. I also have to stop eating Asian food before bed.
I have a Halloween costume that I bought 3 years ago - its a Pirate - and it fits. But I also have a costume that I wanted to wear last year (and couldn't) and that's my goal. Its a saloon girl and I kind of made it myself with a corset and frilly skirts. Here goes nothing
I would LIKE to be in the 180's by Halloween (I don't care if its 189.9 - that's where I want to be).

Well I didn't start out too great yesterday. My hubby ordered pizza for dinner. Oh well. Today is a new day and I'm doing well so far. Plan on keeping it that way too.

Heh, are we twins? I've been jumping around a 4lb range for almost a month now too, and eating Asian food before bed is a MAJOR issue for me. See upthread about Chinese buffet last night, plus sushi on Sunday. Can we pledge no Asian food before bed tonight?
