Hey! Could I join the challenge? I should be at my goal by Halloween, and I LOVE Halloween. Plus, my boyfriend is also losing weight, so we are thinking about doing a couple thing.. Ahhh it will be so cute lol. This thread has inspired me to look for costumes =P

I haven't worn a costume is ages! With the weight I'm losing I can go as something other than "grumpy mom" this year.

Starry night- it's good that you and your bf can do thi st ogether. Every bit of support helps.

Sakai- i hope you're feeling better.

where is everyone?

Bluemommy...that's too funny going as "Grumpy Mom" in the past. Even when i was at my largest, i wore slutty halloween costumes. Partly because it was the only outfit i could afford come halloween time, for myself. My mom had this dress that she used to go out to the bars in that i would wear. It was just kinda low cut so my girls were pretty visible. And it had that hemline that went up in the front and down long in the back. And of course, it was black. lol. I would throw a red cape on and some fake fangs and go as a vampress. Or put red horns on my head and call my self a she-devil.

But again, not really planning to buy a halloween costume this year. Might go try some on. That sounds like fun. I would really like to get me a cheerleader outfit. I have always wanted to be a cheerleader, so that might be my goal. Of course, i won't be using it for halloween. hehehehe.

I've hit the gym pretty hard this week and I can feel it >_<. Today my car is in the shop so I have a break from killing myself on the treadmil. I weighed myself today. Down two pounds. Woot!
I also started keeping track of my food, not on the computer but in a little book I keep on my person at all times.

Hey Chicks! :wave: Can I jump in on the Halloween challenge? I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to be at 140 pounds by then! Sitting at about 155 right now, so I think 15 pounds is doable. I have a Labor Day goal of 147 and a Thanksgiving one of 135. It all revolves around holidays!

I don't know what I'll dress up as this year. I was a waitress last year (major lack of creativity here!). Hmm, I don't think I could get the dear BF to do matching costumes with me! :p

I look forward to losing with you all! :hug:

lumifan4ever- looking at your ticker you're almost there. how long did it take you to lose 60 lbs?

sakai- congrats on the 2 lbs loss!

glasgal welcome aboard!

Hi Gals,

mind if I hop aboard the Halloween wagon?

I'd like to wear a cute costume this year. I'm not sure what yet.

I had an idea, what do you guys think about posting pics of us in the costumes? Not everyone has to of course, just if your feeling brave ;)

Ohh Ohh! Can I join multiple challenges?:) My little niece Sophia is having her first birthday party this year and it's near Halloween, so we may throw her a Halloween bash! I've always wanted to be a "flapper" (you know, the girls from the 20's and 30's who smoked and went to speakeasies!), but I don't exactly have the typical flapper body. Did you know that they used to tape their busts down to look flatter? Attractive...:) I'm quite curvy and surely no pencil-shape... so my goal is to lose 10 lbs a month. I'm at 149 lbs so...

end of august will be 139
end of sept will be 129
end of nov... with luck will be my GOAL of 120 lbs!!!!



Does that sound doable with hard work?

MrsLovett

i definately wanna join this challenge i wont be at my goal by halloween but hopefully smaller! im gonna start looking for cute costumes

hi and welcome. i think the pics would be a great idea.

Welcome everyone ^.^

Woo! I've been MIA for a while, sorry about that. Work has been super busy and super stressful, and I haven't found much computer time.

anywho.. I slipped off the wagon a little, but it's no biggie. I've already jummped back on. It's now 10 days until my birthday. @_@... the family and I are off to the city to have some fun!

I've been stuck at this weight for about 2 weeks now, and it's because work is draining me. Not only is it rough but they are keeping us over at least and hour every day. Meaning I go to bed late, I wake up late and the least likely I'm to go to the gym. it all goes down hill.

My best friend's wedding is on Halloween so Im in!!!
Good luck girls!
Nicki

A wedding on Halloween! that's awsome. How much are you thinking about losing Nicki?
I went MIA again, (I really need to get better at this >_<)
Yesterday was my birthday and I went off my diet by eating a bucket of crab with a HUGE chocolate cake and ice cream. But then we hit the mall for about FIVE hours. @_@ as well as a few other shops. It was an all day event. I crashed in the car and slept the 2 hours it took to get home. But I had fun.
I weighed myself this morning, It had been about a week from the last time I weighed myself and I dropped a few pounds even with the over the top lunch. I have about 11 pounds left before I hit my 20 pounds before halloween goal It's so close i can almost taste the candy corn. LOL

How has everyone else been doing? the thread has been pretty silent.

Ooh, I would love to join this challenge. I haven't really dressed up for halloween (well, except that time I put on a scary old man mask and a trench coat) so this year would be awesome. I would really love to be under 200, 190 if I'm really optimistic. My current weight is 213.
