I'm a little late to the game but I'd like to join. I was 180 this morning so for halloween I would like to be back to 175. It's 5 lbs in a little over 3 weeks, I realize. Hoping I can do it!!

I hope I'm not too late!!! I'd love to join. I'm 142 now sooo..hmm..I'll try for 136 by Halloween! I'm pretty sure I can do that..eek!

I still don't know what I'm going to be for Halloween..I'm having a party at my new place though, yay!

161.4 again this morning, blah. Am going to get more serious about this Halloween Goal starting now!

Does anyone know if having a cold makes you retain water/not lose weight? I don't know if it matters at all, but I have a cold coming on and am just curious if it's going to influence anything. Thanks guys :-)

i think you can do. I think I do. Not sure why though, maybe the water helps fight the infection?

178.6 this morning. Good start!

Okay...I feel back on track. I managed to get up at 6ish this morning and go for a run even though it's cold, windy and rainy here. I'm rather proud of myself. Just gotta stay on top of it.

Welcome all new challengers. You're doing great!

Colds can make you retain water/gain weight, especially if you're all congested. Think of all that crap you're sneezing/coughing up. It adds up. Also, your body is "stressed" so its going to hold onto water. Just make sure you're getting plenty of fluids. This helped me last week.

192.6. I think I just didn't drink enough water the day before yesterday. Whew. I start Week 3 of C2K today!

I'd like to join! A bit late in the challenge, but I'll take what I can get. I was 210.8 this morning (ACK!) I just started better eating habits on Monday, getting back on track after a 6+ month hiatus (and 20lb weight gain). This is the most I've EVER weighed in all my life and I want it GONE. So, 10lbs by 10/31. I'd like to be under 200 but I don't know if that will happen....so we'll stick with the big 2-0-0. Urgh.

I'll try to get out of the 170s by the end of the month.

I bought my costume and I am very excited about Halloween!!! Cheers to weight loss!

im up around 300g at the moment I am hoping its water. back to peeing like crazy!

Still holding at 158.6. Exercise good. WEEKLY food good. Weekend food still sucks. If only I could get ahold of myself on the weekends

Back up to 139 today. I dunno if it's the fast food I had last night and the fact that TOM should have been here yesterday, but this is getting really frustrating.

forest -

I have self-control problems with reeses peanut butter cups. Therefore I had oatmeal for dinner. Its 2 points and I just ran, so I refuse to go to bed without eating. We'll see how terrible this is tomorrow.
