    I'm in! My birthday November 1st and i was just thinking how it will be great to challenge my self to lose the rest of this weight so maybe i can go shopping for my bday. I really have been struggling with these last few lbs. good luck everyone.

    About me:
    I'm 25 , married, and have 2 wonderful kids 1 and 4 year old. I weighed about 230 after having my second child and decide i had to change something. started walking watching what i ate. but still have more pounds to sweat off. My newest exercise challenge is running

    I'm joining too. I want a challenge to break through my plateau. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Plus, if I lose 25 pounds by then, I will have lost 50 pounds thus far.

    Hi (: Just found this

    About me: I want to be able to live a long healthy life. Diabetes runs in my family and a lot of my father's sisters have it so I am trying to prevent myself from getting it as well. I also want to gain more confidence I am very shy and have low self esteem so hopefully by losing weight it'll help.

    Hi - I hope everyone is keeping on track. I have a scales malfunction so I will post results in a day or so. I am really pleased that I have managed to keep up my fitness levels this week. Hopefully I will manage the same again next week. Good luck all!

    HI I recently joined MFP and I saw this challenge and thought it would be great.
    My golas - I am starting a TurboFire rotation tomorrow (7/11/11) and I am determined to complete it!!!!
    I want to lose 10 lbs - for good (and be done with the losing - focus on maintaining!)
    I want to be proud of myself for overcoming my challenges and succeeding!
    I want to think I look good (body wise) (others say I already do, but not how I see myself)
    I want to be working on my second fitness plan, TF-CE hybrid.

    Thanks!

    So I weighed in last Friday morning at 144.2lbs, WAY too high for my 5 foot tall frame

    I want to get in shape bc:
    I want to feel healthier
    I want to feel and look sexy again
    I want to look good for my bf... He loves the way I look but I just dont like the way I look at all!

    My goal is to be 25lbs lighter by Halloween which would put me at 119.2, my ultimate goal weight is 110-115. But I don't wanna lose my curves, so I'll stop losing when I am happy with myself and at the weight I feel good at...

    Roughly estimates to 1.5lbs a week if I weigh in every Friday until oct 31! Breaking it into weekly goals seems so much more attainable and less stressful :)

    I am a busy college student currently working two jobs, feel free to add me as a friend ! :)

    Ok, so today I've been riding the up, down, up, down wave of the same 4 pounds for over a month now. This am when I weighed in of course I was up. So I logged that gain and am now on a mission. No excuses of "it's water weight, I treated myslef, it's the TOM." I'm going to kick these last few pounds to the curb and really focus on toning. Ready or not body, here I come! Mission Possible! Happy Monday!!!!

    I lost 2lbs over the weekend! I'm completely floored since weekends are always the hardest for me cuz we eat out half the time. I'm so excited that I'm almost down to what I was 2wks ago when family and holiday eating and drinking stalled me. I'm back on track now. I need to be at 178 by the end of the month and it finally seems possible. If I lose 5lbs a month I can make my Halloween goal.
