    I was injured 5 years ago. Mostly sat around crying and eating since. I'm 48. 5'6" 210lb. Ultimate goal is 145, would be ecstatic to lose 10 or more by Halloween. I've been using this app off and on for a month. I mostly need food and nutrition advice. This is my first attempt at weight loss and physical rehab. Looking forward to sharing this challenge with all of you!

    I will also join. This will be my first challenge and will give it my best. I'm 44yo, 5'9", 279lbs. I have been using MFP for 6 weeks and have lost 21lbs. My goal for this challenge is 20 lbs. Overall weight goal is to get down to 200 lbs. Started running/walking 6 weeks ago and will be running in my first 5K this weekend and am very excited. I'm open to anyone who would like to be friends.

    I need some inspiration and this just might be it. I lost 60lbs, but have put 15 back on due to a knee injury and I'm not happy at all. I'm 45, 5'9" and 185 lbs. I look forward to the challenge to eating right and moving! Let's do this!!!

    I will join! I'm 5'8" 210lbs at my last weigh in 28 years old...although I will be 29 when the challenge ends

    That cut off half of my post.

    I am also 11 weeks postpartum and having a hard time getting the scale to move. I hope to lose at least 10.

    Are you breastfeeding? when I had my daughter I was able to lose 31lbs but then gained 12 back and stayed there for 5 months... your body goes into survival mode. hope this helps.

    I have never done a group challenge on MFP but am super excited to do this one! What do I need to do?!

    Nevermind, I figured it out! For those who are new to MFP, go to groups and you'll see the new groups and you can find the Halloween Challenge in there. Or you can search groups by typing Halloween Challenge in the search box. YOu will see this group come up and you can join in there.

    I'll join also. I'm 73 (next month) and weigh 160. I always have trouble getting below the 160 mark! I'm 5'3" and hope to lose 6# by Halloween. I'd make that figure higher except I'm going on vacation for two weeks in September, LOL. My ultimate goal is to lose 25#.

    I am breastfeeding and I think at first my body was going into survival mode due to sticking around 1400 cal/day with exercise. I've since upped it to 1700-1900 cal/day and saw inches and pounds gone for 2 weeks but now I'm stuck again.

    Everyone said the pounds would melt off while breastfeeding. That has not been the case for me.

    I want to join this challenge. I'm participating in a "Biggest Loser" contest at work and we've been doing weekly weigh-ins on Friday since the start of August. The competition ends before Halloween, so this challenge will only help me stay accountable.
