Halloween Challenge!
 

Okay so between Rowan Bailey and I we have decide to start up a Halloween challenge! :wizard:

Starting from September 2 to October 31st (so we can have a last fling during labour day weekend :devil: )

Anyone can join in - just post your current stats, your goal and anything else you want to share.

Mauvaisroux

Current weight: 164 lbs
Goal weight by 31st: 159 lbs
Personal goal: to fit into my Halloween costume :lol:
Fitness goal: to get back to my routine of yoga, belly dance and pilates twice each per week.

These were good ones so I copied them from Ruthxxx :D
Other Goals: Take a half hour every to think about life.
Make one small improvement in my home environment every day.

I'm in.

Current weight: 176 lbs
Goal weight by 31st: 166
Personal goal: I'll think on it :D
Fitness goal: to get back to the Y 2 or 3 times a week and rejoin yoga

I'm in too.

Current weight: 230 lbs
Goal weight by 31st: 220
Personal goal: to not give up
Fitness goal: to exercise 3 times a week!

Okay...my goals and I will probably add to them throughout as I become inspired by things...

10% of current weight down by Halloween
South Beach Diet for eating and Curves for working out.
My personal goal is to just do just be consistent and stay focused over the next few months. To keep increasing the things that I do that contribute to my health...hypnosis, shiatsu (ouch but good) and other things that make me feel balanced.

Current: 171.5
Goal for Oct. 31st: reality - 165.5, but would really like to go for -160.5
Personal goal: To stick with the diet this time. I need to fit back into my jeans.
Fitness Goal: To exercise at least 10 minutes 4 times a week. Doesn't sound like much - but some of you know how much of a big deal that would be. :)

I'm in!


CW: 146.5
Halloween goal: 139/140
ultimate goal: 130/135 (hah!)
fitness goal: run/walk 4x a week, weights, situps and pushups - basically what I was doing before summer vacation

Lidian

I'm in!
 

CW - 281.8
Halloween Goal - 260-265
Fitness Goals:
- Workout 6 hours a week
- Swim 1300 meters doing the crawl in 60 minutes

psm :)

I'm here too girls...but, my goal is for October 15th...it's only fair...cause the surgeon will be removing some lbs. that day...so, I'll weigh-in that morning and then on the 31st...well, I should be a tad bit lighter by then but I'll reassess that goal after I see how much comes off in surgery.

So, I'm 176.5 today.
starting weight (at least) 196
ultimate goal 130-145
(I'll know when I get there :) )
short term goal 169
(about 7.5 pounds, wow...haven't seen the 160's
for seven years and now it feels attainable! :yes: )

personal goal: feel like a strong healthy woman when I get admitted to the hospital...be satisfied with the outcome even if I don't look like Madonna after...
or rather, even if my breasts are the only part of my body that looks like Madonna's...

ps, the offer is still out there if any of you need donations...there is plenty to go around...just email me your blood type and if you're a match, the excess adipose tissue is yours for the takin'...tho' I guess if transplanting and relocation were an option none of us would really need 3fc...hmmmm....

fitness goal: get to the gym three to four times per week and practice yoga four times per week...

thanks for being there girls,
Love, Soozie

I'm in! I don't want to be a Hallowe'en pumpkin!

Current Weight - 198 last time I weighed
Halloween Goal - 185.0
Fitness Goals: Put 70000 minimum steps on the pedometer daily and 10,000 on it two days a week. That means one walk most days and two on two days.
Other Goals: Take a half hour every to think about life.
Make one small improvement in my home environment every day.

Goal weight by 31st: 170
Personal goal: limit myself to one can of pop a day
Fitness goal: walk the dogs 15 minutes a day

Sure Aquareggie!

The more the merrier...or is that scarier? Mwa ha ha ha ha!!!! :devil:

Aquareggie, what a sweet little dog! Welcome! :wave:

Hello my first post!! And I would like to join in the challenge!!


Current weight: 225
Goal weight by 31st: 205
Personal goal: to eat right, and not to QUIT!
Fitness goal: to exercise at least 5X a week.

Hey, Mackenzie! Welcome! :wave:

Hi all! Thanks for the welcome. And I'd be happy to be scarier... this Halloween. Heh heh heh. :)

I've been back OP for a week... but am doing terribly. :( My plan is to reduce calories and add exercise, but i can't stay on it for more than a day or two. I'm hoping posting here will keep me accountable.

Hope you all have a great day,
AR

WELCOME AQUAREGGIE AND MACKENZIE!!!!!!!!

Is it ok if I join in? I've been posting on the "Fat Chicks on the Beach" forum for about 6 weeks now, and just wandered over here....this looks like a FUN :dizzy: place to hang out!

Do I really have to post my actual weight? In black and white numbers? :fr: I haven't even done that on "the beach". Well, I guess since most of you have, I can be brave and do it too!! It's just so hard for me to see the actual numbers in big black print (somehow that makes it more real....am I sad or what!). :o

OK........

Current weight: 187
Goal by Halloween: 177
Personal Goal: To care enough about myself and my health to stay OP and make permanent life-long changes in my habits.
Fitness Goal: To get into a regular exercise routine. I really struggle with this....I'm the ultimate couch potato. :(

Welcome MacKenzie and Twodogmom! :wave:

Maybe if you see the numbers in black and white it will give you more incentive :D

Personally I need this challenge to give myself a kick in the butt!
I have been off and on plan for two weeks and losing 1 lb then gaining .5 back and I am sick of it. I am paying to go to WW and if I continue like this I feel that I am wasting my time and $$$ :mad: But it is my own darned fault!

So it's time to roll up my sleeves and get to work and get my slowly diminishing butt in gear! :drill:

Twodog, we're so glad to have you! :wave:
187, huh? Not so bad. It's all relative, hon. I was there a very short while ago. We are NEVER going back! :drill:

Den, are you in or out? (please don't say "both")

Just thought I would make this a sticky so we can keep our goals in sight! :D

Bless you for making our life easier, Mauvais. :D

Ellis-REPEATEDLY!!!!!

2Dog-HIYA!! Welcome to the loony bin!! It is a LOT of fun here, and everybody is as nice as they are crazy!! I weigh a LOT more than you do, so don't worry about posting your weight!! Anyway, this is a SAFE place. I know it is hard to look at the numbers, but nobody is going to judge you by your weight. (OKAY, I MIGHT if you weighed 110 and said you wanted to get to 100 by Halloween!!!)

Mauvais-Good idea!!

Thanks mauvais, it's nice to meet you!! Hi ellis and den!! I think I'm going to love this place, it looks like a blast! :D I already feel right at home.

den.....just wait until next year.....110 lbs by next September ;)

HMMPH!!!! :D

Gofishin, welcome! We all have our own challenges to succeed at, and I see from your stats you've lost 12lbs already. Great work!

Oh, did I officially sign up for this challenge? I don't remember. Anyway, I'm in! I want to work on eating less carbs and more protein/veggies even if it is outside my comfort zone. And I want to set up and follow an exercise schedule. :yes: And dagnabit I'm gonna DO IT! I don't even care about how many pounds, I just want for once to set goals and make them without chucking them out the window after a few weeks.

Hi Wildfire. We missed you. Um.....you have a suspicious signature. Have you been in B.C. perchance?

Moi, Ruth? :s: Nope, didn't do that one! Hate to think of all the poor little animals that have been affected by those fires. It's actually a line from a song from my favorite strange interest band, The Tractors, from Tulsa, Oklahoma. www.thetractors.com

Now if my boss ever moves to a wooded area....:flame:

Gofishin', I was So teasing you. :lol: Good for you for losing so much! You've come a long way, hon... congratulations! :dance:

I love you, too, Gofishin'! :)

I think I mentioned this before. We could cut chunks off our body and eat them. It would cut down the grocery bill...

Ellis....we love you too...you are so effing sick (and funny!!) ...my DP and I were reading this thread and when we read your response to gofishin we both laughed so hard that we peed on the floor...it's stress incontinence :o...then we both ran downstairs straight to the scale...not too much lost so, could we come over and have you rip out our hair too??? or is gofish the only dish you'll provide that service for???

I haven't gotten weighed yet today...so, I'm not...ate lots of nasty stuff this weekend...have to repent and reform before I'm willing to weigh-in...so, I will report next week...maybe all of that thinking about getting my boobs docked got me lazy...or it's the dreaded...(theme from jaws please) PMS...

talk to you soon girls...
Love, Soozie

It's only funny to you girls because you were all thinking EXACTLY THE SAME THING! :lol: (Gofishin', we're all INSANELY jealous of you, you babe you.)
Soozie, we want before and after pics, please. With or without clothes... as you wish. :D

yes Ellis, you are so correct...only you have the balls to say it chickie!

my youngest sister's husband said to me, real low key and casual like...hey, Soozie, do we get to see your boobs before and after? I cracked up and my sister throws him a dirty look and says...always tryin'.
