The Good Witch Amarantha is gearing up for the Halloween season! In her culture, that date is the 31st of October and the first day of autumn is tomorrow! Autumn is the time for change, for new thoughts, feelings and results.Tired of being stuck on this endless summer plateau, Amarantha inviteth all good little witches, hobgoblins and other scary folk to join in a very focused weight loss/maintenance challenge. Brew up a personal magic potion for your Halloween treat! Post a magic NUMBER to represent where YOU want to be weight-wise on Halloween or on your regular weigh-in that week! It could represent a loss or just maintenance. Then, check in OFTEN and REPORT what you are doing to achieve that Halloween goal!!!
The Good Witch Amarantha promiseth to maintain a list of all challengers! If no little trick-or-treaters happen to BITE on this thread, GW A. pledges to continue it anyway. She also pledgeth to be brief and focused in her posts and remindeth all that she is NOT trying to usurp any other challenge threads or lure anyone from their affiliation into the murky undergrowth of yet another challenge. This is just extra. She just wants to LOSE the weight by Halloween, so she can eat some little chocolates from a plastic pumpkin head.
List followeth!!!
My magical goal will be to get from 164 (now) to the 150's by Halloween, anywhere in the 150's - get to break through the cusp.
The season o' fall is just the best, though where I live the crunch, crunch, crunch o' autumn leaves and the crisp air is just a dim fantasy (unless you live high in the mountains). But fall is still so wonderful here with strings of chili peppers for sale and the early darkness and MAYBE some cool rain!!!
are putting on a disguise to get outta town!!! 
but that is totally unrealistic...and I really am trying to keep the weight off this time, so I know that I need to do this slowly but steadily...
) , but not for long....I am really gonna do this ....GW Amarantha if you could please use your wand to find me some courage and strenth to keep me focused on my eating (that it only be healthy) and for me to continue the motivation to excericise at least 4 times a week I would really appreciate it....or maybe that was the wizard of oz handing out courage...I don;'t know sleep deprivation and lots and lots of studying have completely fried my mind this weekend.
meal I had late last night (stoopid me) but still, that is where I'll start from!
