I set a goal...lose 22 pounds by October 23rd!
I know you can do it!!!!0 -
Even at the age of 30 I want to dress as something HOT for Halloween this year too.We deserve to LOOK HOT especially at HalloweenAh October! I have 4 months to lose enough weight to be something slutty for Halloween. :laugh:
I've never had a slutty Halloween costume before and I WANNA, darn it!
Hmm. I think I'll set a 175 weight goal for Halloween. Of course I'd like to weigh less but at the rate I'm going, I'm afraid anything more is too unrealistic. 175 is a big one -- it's where I enter "overweight" territory from obese-land. :bigsmile:
I want to be something ridiculous like a scantily clad Mrs. Pac-Man. :noway: :laugh:0 -
I am in I think I am going to try to lose 20 pounds before October if its more great but 20 sounds reasonable.
IJess - where are you getting the dress from. When my sister got married (now divoirced but that is another story), i ordered min in October and got it in like 4 weeks (the wedding was like in janury), so 12 weeks was going to cut it close we were all worried.
well i went to the gym...i feel like a bum...i had great workouts thurs and fri at lunch, awesome spin class, super workout on sat night and super hard spin calss on sunday morning, and today i was soo dragging burned barely 300 cals ..i know that is 300 mor than nothing ..just feeling blah :sad:
Maybe your body is tired and needs a big of a rest. We are getting them from David's Bridal in Frisco.

Everybody now! 20 by october!! Let's do it!! :drinker:

October is only 3 months away. :noway:0 -
I am in for 20 lbs by Halloween..given i will stillllll be too FAT to wear anything slutty...
I am hoping for 35 lbs by thanksgiving , but i know that is super ambitious...but hopefully i can come close...My sister is coming and hadn't seen me since i was about 310 at her wedding this past September.0 -

Julie: Your thoughts on Halloween echo mine exactly..wanting to dress slutty! When I was thin in high school, I was too shy to dress that way and once I got past the being shy, I was too chubby.
Ladies: I'm with you on the lose 20 lbs. by Halloween challenge! This is doable for me if I really stick to my guns. Here's why:
I started my weight loss journey the end of November and by the end of March (4 months), I lost 30 lbs., which is an average of 7.5 pounds per month. To lose 20 lbs. by Halloween 3.5 months, I would have to lose 5.7 lbs per month average. So, yes, is realistic but I'll admit ambitious. However, if I only make it to 10 lbs. total lost by Halloween, I'll still be the lowest I've been since college at 185 and I can be happy with that as a short-term goal.
Ambitious goal: 175 lbs for Halloween
Minimum goal: 185 lbs for Halloween
Now I just have to start thinking of a good Halloween costume. I was Peggy Bundy from Married with Children last year and the guy running the costume contest apparently lived under a rock because he didn't know who that was and therefore would not enter me in the contest even though EVERYONE else at the bar knew who I was and loved it! I'm going to a bar with an older DJ this year so I have a shot!
Okay, enough of my ranting for now.0 -
Everybody now! 20 by october!! Let's do it!! :drinker:
I'm in!! I now I can do it. That just means 5 lbs a month. That doesn't sound too terrible unless I never get off this plateau! :grumble: That would be awesome to say I have lost 40 lbs!!!0 -
OMG...or more like OMP.
I bought a huge 1.5 liter of water today on my way into work. 1.5 liters = 6 cups = 48 oz. I have drank two of them. Am peeing like a crazy woman. My exercise cals may come from the walks to and from the bathroom and the "squats" I'm doing while in the bathroom!
Upside - I drank 96 oz of water today...so far!0 -
Woohooo I'm excited about this!! So who was our biggest loser? We need a challenge for the week!
Heather-That is awful that he wouldn't let you enter just because he didn't know who you were! That's nonsense!!
elmox-Holy smokes that's a lot of water...speaking off..I better go fill up my bottle! :drinker:0 -
Hey girls,
I am still catching up on the first 4 pages...
THanks girls for the sweet comments:blushing: I feel 200+ pounds because when I look in the mirror I see my preggo gut, chunky arms, and busty boobs...
My legs are not that bad comparing it to the rest of my body. I am super self conscious @ how I look because I am my worst judge..so imagine what everyone else sees me..sorry for all the rambling
I am in for the 20 by October..My birthday is October 4..so I want to loook good.
check back in a few
before I forget..If I am the biggest loser I give the honors to LItdeb..she earned it more than I did...Congrats litdeb!0 -
ha! I love that everyone wants to be slutty for halloween....LOVE IT!
My goal for end of year is 170bs- which is 25lbs from where I am now. I know there will be plateaus, and my crazy spirals into food (which I hope not to have..but lets be realistic), holiday parties etc... so I think 25lbs by the end of the year is ambitious in itself. My goal for the time being is 5lbs a month....thats all I ask of myself. Perfectly doable with consistent excercise and not too much splurging.
I had panera's for lunch and am stuffed, but I know in an hour or two I'll be hungry. I have 260 cals left for dinner if I want to stay within calories so I'll be eating a grilled cheese for dinner. It will put me right at 1200 cals for the day. I have no plan on excercising. I totally kicked my own *kitten* at the gym this weekend, and my legs are still burning. Not to mention my lack of sleep last night. I hope to do some light excercising tomorrow 300-400 cals and then Wed will attempt w9d1 of c25k
ok now im just rambling personal thought be back later

lauren- great job on the water...and thanks for the reminder that I should go drink some more
pos-me- I see my preggo belly too. I never really had a puch before when I was overweight most of my weight was carried in my thighs/legs, and boobs and arms. Now I have this pudge and I hate it! But from your picture I really dont see one!!! seriously I mean it you look sooo good!0 -

WTG!! You are on a drinking spree. I was just thinking I needed to go fill up my cup it is empty but I only have 30 mins left at work and there is really no point and going to get ice and water for that. I am weird and will only drink water if it is ice cold. I will get some more in when I get home. I plan on doing some boxing when I get home.0 -

I think that's a great realistic goal!! I love that we are setting up goals that are very attainable! yay for us!0 -
Good Lord girls five pages in one day. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I am up to page three so I will not comment yet.
I will say that ANN - you are one hot momma!
I would take the thread because, as usual, it's a holiday and that means I am working, singing "God Bless America" & "Proud to Be an American" fifty million times under the arch. But I have NO idea how to "take" a thread! No clue how Ann posts a new one! Always amazed! :laugh: 0 -
That was a lot to read and so much happened, people shrank and everything !!!
I have heard that you are taller when you wake up in the morning because you spine gets a chance to stretch out while you sleep and then if you spend all day on your feet or at a desk you can be up to an inch shorter from spine contraction. Never tested it myself. I hope I'm still 5'4" !
Ist Paul - you have every right to worry and whine and vent, you're dealing with some major, stressful life matters. We are here for you though, don't leave us for a whole week so we can encourage you to keep logging and stick with it. You can do it !!:flowerforyou:
Cris - all your problems of the day got fixed by the time I read about them so yippee ! I'm so with you on the heat, once it's over 75º I am one grumpy beotch. :mad:
Elmox - CONGRATS !!!!! I'm thinking there was a lot of tough competition, 2nd place is AMAZING and you are not even a professional :flowerforyou:
:flowerforyou:
Pos me, little spy, cogirl, lildebbie - love the new photos you are all looking HOT
I posted a pic on my profile page from when I went to the Vegas wedding in May, I weighed 186 at the time.
Jess - is your sister getting married on Oct 23rd? That's my wedding day too !! I want to be down by another 35lbs by then but I know that is very ambitious.
dinner just arrived, be back later

Ok.. so every time I attempted to log and and read the thread I got interrupted.. but as blue said 5 pages today..
you girls are chatty chatty chatty!
I am in for your challenge of 20lbs by 10/31. But, not because I want to dress up. Actually I really don't like Halloween much at all but, go with the flow for all the little kiddos. We live in a small community and normally have somewhere between 100-250 trick or treaters between 6pm and 8pm. So, no slutty stuff for me... those kids would run and scream out of fear if I attempted that one. :laugh:
The past couple days have been a struggle. Today has been better but, still a struggle not to binge. I think I am just out of sink with all the extra stuff going on right now! I am looking forward to getting back to some sort of a schedule as it is seriously difficult right now to MAKE myself not binge and take a nap.
I did however manage to get my workout in this morning! :happy:
I better get going I need to figure out what I am going to make with our grilled chicken tonight.

You don't look 203 at all if I were to guess I would say 150 at the max.You look good girl!!Hey girls,

I am about to go take a shower and eat something because I am HUNGRY.
I had my daughter take a picture of me in my workout clothing yesterday..I know I don't show my face but I'm shy..I did take a pic of me and that is me @ 203 pounds...I don't see a difference I still see myself as that 245 pound girl...
Be back later..after I eat and shower.0 -
