Don't panic - it's really 4 1/2 weeks away!

Literally laughing out loud when I read this. I really think I spend half my time in a daze also You're doing great though so keep it up!

I'm considering anchors tied to all food. Congrats on beginning the workouts again!

Should be able to go to user CP and look on the left for edit signature.


Jill - thanks again for starting this challenge! It's nice to come here and not read about the healthy grilled chicken someone made last night! I really do like some of the omni girls here and my friends in real life but it's nice to have like-minded people around


So - What's everyone thinking of doing for Halloween? Is anyone dressing up?

Not sure where I'm going to go but I really want to dress up as Magenta from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I'm amping up the running this month so my legs will look okay in fishnets

I'm definitely dressing up - actually for day of the dead (nov. 2) we have a big parade in town so it should be really exciting! I don't know what I'm wearing yet.

DARBY.. good job on putting exercise back on your list! You can do it!

IRIS.. hopefully its a fluke! if not you can kick it in the butt, I know it!

Great job everyone!!

For Halloween the actual day I'm staying in I think. For The weekend before I have to go to a Halloween party but I do not want to dress up.


Does anyone have any low fat vegan Halloween treat recipe ideas? I'm vegan with no oil. When i go to the party I will be surrounded by stuff I can't eat, unless I bring a treat to share that I can have. So I'm thinking of cupcakes or something but I wonder how to decorate them without oily frosting. Hmmmm.

kierr-are you doing the McDougall plan? Sorry-I don't have any ideas for an oil free frosting. That's a tough one.


I don't have any Halloween plans. I can't remember the last time I dressed up. If I'm not mistaken, it was 1993 because I was in Korea and my roommate and I had a wild party on the roof of our apartment. That was fun.

kierr, have you checked out Fatfree Vegan? I don't think I'm allowed to include links here, but there were a lot of dessert ideas listed on the website.

all right, know what? assuming i HAVE gained 6lbs is a pretty darn good motivator, so I'm going with that and I'll check in on friday and see where I'm at. That means today i am starting October at 139.5 lbs.

btw, kierr, sorry i'm at a loss for oil-free recipes for frosting.

OK EVERYONE YESTERDAY WAS MINI GOAL WEIGH IN... SO GET YOUR WEIGHT IN TODAY PLEASE

We have one month to lose some pounds for halloween... Even if you gained still show your weight, this can be your fresh 'october' start

I love reading all of your posts btw you girls are great!

And Iris, I'm glad you're not letting the added weight stop you!! You can do it! We ALL can! I know it. Maybe your new goal can be 130??

Im late joining the Halloween challenge but I decided I would anyway. Today I am 235, and by October 31st, I want to be 220.
I just started exercising and calorie counting this week so it should come off fast the first month.
Good luck everyone!

Hey girls

I don't know if its my computer but the last couple of posts i wrote never showed up very annoying since the last one was a long one!!

Anyway i went on the scale a couple of days ago and I was up 2 lbs I do know why.....I overate the whole weekend!! I was visiting my friend and where she lives caters to vegans!! its soo great..i was able to enjoy icecream, pizza, and even a breakfast burrito for brunch!!! Delicious! but I knew I was spurlging! Im trying to get it off tho..I've been back on track for the past 2 days. Well u all are doing great Even if we slip up here and there atleast we are conscious of what we are doing!! There have been soo many times where i would slip up for months even years!! Soo I thanku for this group of friends!! Have a bbbeautiful day!!

oh yeah so I am now 147

ERIN... Great to have you join!! 15 Lbs is alot to lose but we will be behind you the whole time! Remember a loss is a loss! You can do it!

Chickpea.. So sorry about your log ins! As soon as I saw you I was going to tell you we missed you! But sounds like
you've been here all along! My comp does that sometimes too SOOO frustrating!! Show that scale whos boss and get back down! It is hard
resisting vegan food when you know you can't actually have 'restaurant' food often. Totally understand!

Well girls I've been sick since Monday and eating soy icecream, ice pops, and soup all day so hopefully I wont gain. My throat hurts though so gotta have icecream lol I think I'll be fine, but we'll see.


OK EVERYONE TODAY IS YOUR LAST DAY FOR MINI-GOAL WEIGH IN.
