Anyone feeling tempted by the devil chocolate cake? Or perhaps you feel angelic until it comes to the weekend...

Join the HALLOWEEN challenge so that you can polish your halo come All Saint's Day

There's exactly 7 weeks till Halloween - I'm aiming for 2lbs a week lost. Ambitious I know, but you gotta aim high!

I'm also aiming for a Brown Belt by Halloween - so I can scare the bejesus outta people

OK, I'll go for being under 11 stone by halloween. Which is pretty much what I weighed last time I weighed myself (seems like weeks ago now though), but I might have put a pound or two on since then (I'm not sure that the reduction in running has been matched by a reduction in eating!), and the name of the game is maintenance anyway.

Well as much as I want to say I will be nine stone 7lbs that is probably way too optimistic, however I am going to aim to be by halloween nine stone 10lbs.
I am fluttering between nine stone thirteen and ten stone at the moment.

Day one, doing well! I've completed my Blue Belt - I have the sheet for Brown Belt. It looks interesting easy, but a LOT to do, and of course, you have to do it ALL PERFECTLY!

Scales back down from a temporary blip - hopefully this morning's cycle will be doing some fat-burning and weight loss!

I've given up on SW again. It's too expensive especially when you get no stickers.

Ooooooooh, a stone by Samhain?! I can do that. And even if I just lose half that, I'll be well chuffed. Dude, I just said well chuffed. I've been living here toooooo long now, hehe.

Anyway, yeah, I need a motivator and Halloween (Samhain) is my absolute favorite night of the year, always has been. This is a good day to start, too because I weigh in at Fat Fighters (SW) tonight and can start fresh tomorrow. Hmmmm, a sexy little witchy temptress costume for the night if I make it to goal? Hubby will be pleased, hehe.

I've noticed several other Halloween challenges going on. Is this thread affiliated or is it its own? (twisted little sentence there)

Can I join you guys...I'm not a UK chick, I'm a Boston chick but I need a mini-goal.

In the last year and a half I've lost 25 lbs, down to 162 but I want to hit 140 very badly, so by Halloween I'm going to aim for at or below 155.

Chris, where on the Cape are you???? I'm down there all the time.
