Thanks everyone and happy belated birthday to you Jo :)

Well, I started the challenge as 25 by Halloween but I made 27 by fall....so I am going to count the extra 2 pounds towards trying to make 25 more for Halloween. I don't know if I can really make it but I am going to give it my best shot.

I am at 24.6 on the 25 pound challage, very annoying!!!!!! Oh well I am going to stay in and try for 30 by Halloween! Good luck everyone!

Round up.
Celebrate the victory over the weight that is gone.
Losing weight is annoying?
I see it as all good

Everyone seems to be making great strides towards their goal - congrats! Can't wait until I lose my first 25lbs - hoping to reach it prior to Halloween but I'll take what I can get. So long as I remain OP then the rest will come in time, I just know it and I want to be easy on myself in that regard - patience is everything otherwise, I'll make myself crazy. :bubbles:

You are right, I should round up!!! Thanks Lisa your the best!

Hi, your 25 by Halloween sounds very motivating, as do all of you on here!! :) Just what I need. I started IP last week but ended up getting the flu so I restarted as of yesterday. Is it too late to join this challenge?

Hi all! Bumping this up as it seems like not so many are logging their losses!! Hope all are well!

Bumping again. :)

2 lbs to go before I hit the 25lbs goal - I can do it, I can do it!

*Bump*

Jo

You CAN do it PurpleMomster, I know you can! We need a little train smiley that just keeps chugging along. We may get delayed at the station sometimes, but never derailed!

Oh.. the Halloween candy has taken center stage at most stores at this point. People are stocking their carriages in fact, IF I celebrated Halloween (I don't have foot traffic), I wouldn't dare purchase my candy but a day prior as not to dip into the delectable treats along the way (we used to do this growing up; uh-oh!).

There's still plenty of time from now until Halloween and I am on track to lose my first 25 - HOLY COW! This makes me ridiculously giddy to think about. I'm proud of all of our accomplishments and the huge take away is: WE CAN DO THIS!

Looking forward to hearing more about everyone's progress - keep it up before the lil ghosts, goblins and witches surround us :witch::ghost: :sklol: :frank: :bat: :spid:

You WILL do it :)

HMM - I hit 25lbs on 10-3 so I will shoot for 35 by Halloween - lets see how it goes! *crosses fingers and reaches for waterbottle*

BOO! And, a Happy (pre) Halloween to ALL those who have reached their first 25lb weight loss. I aspire to be like you! I have a couple of more weeks to reach that goal. Had WI 7 and down 2.8lbs with a grand total of 22.8lbs (so close). I see all of the candy around and while it's both fun & torturous to look at, I am happy that I am NOT eating it all month long (nor at all for that matter).

This plan gives me so much strength and allows me to dig in and pull out my long lost self-confidence and kick everything negative to the curb! Well, maybe not everything, as there are still those pesky demons :badbat: that get in the way from time to time but I'm hoping to kick them left and right too.
