Oooh sounds like fun! I'll create my ticker and update my weight tomorrow when I weigh in. My weight goal for Halloween is 150.
Why I want to get in shape (as copied from profile):
I started by walking a couple miles at a time and have since run two marathons. Now I lift heavy things and am currently in training for my third marathon.0 -
Hi,
Would LOOOOVE to do this challenge, but when I tried to make the Halloween ticker, it tried to erase my current ticker. Is there a way to have two tickers from ticker factory?
Thanks!0 -
Why I Want To Get In Shape
I want to be the very best me. I want to have the peace of mind that comes from doing everything I can to ensure I am as healthy as I can be. I want to FEEL good, physically and feel good about who I am and what I represent about myself. I want to be a good example for my son, my friends and family. I also want the people who love me to be proud of me. I want to be comfortable in my own skin, accept compliments internally and be able to wear clothes that I like
I want to make my haters jealous and eat their words. I want to have another baby and be that healthy momma in prenatal yoga classes and hitting the gym with ease. I want to inspire people and give them hope. I want it all.
LOVE IT!!!!!!

Awesome challenge. I'm game!
I am a Mom turned college student who has decided I want to be a doctor. I hope to enter medical school in the fall of 2013. Since this is an already demanding program, I need to lose weight, get healthy so I can keep up with the 23 year olds in the program. I am a great cheerleader, so friend me if your looking for support and the honest truth!
Why I Want To Get In Shape
So I can be healthy enough to complete medical school and residency.
My Inspirations
I want to be able to keep up with my kids and friends.
I want to live to see my dreams become my reality.0 -

This is great! I want to lose weight because I am tired of lugging around all this extra body weight! My back and neck constantly hurt. Everyone tells me I don't seem that heavy because I am tall..It's not an excuse! I want to get down to a healthy weight and have more energy during the day.
I've already lost 11 lbs so far (: My boyfriend's birthday is October 27th and Halloween is my fave holiday so I'm super excited!!!! I am going to aim to lose 40lbs. It seems like a lot but I will be going back to college in the fall and I need to stick to my current routine. This will keep me motivated!
Feel free to add me (:

Why I Want To Get In Shape
Simply because I want to do something for myself that I feel good about.
As my son gets older and more independent it allows me more free time to stop and realize what I want and need for me. Wish I had found this inspiring site a few years ago because a healthier me equals a better mom, girlfriend, friend, co-worker ect.
With making healthy choices this past few weeks and exercise I feel happy with me, with who I am and what direction I am headed!
I have put on some extra pounds over the past three years. I am not what you would call over weight but I am far from in shape. At this time I can only do about 20mins of physical activity with out feeling exhausted.
For me this is a lifestyle change and not all about loosing weight.
My goals is to lose the extra pounds and work out as much as I can to be the fit me I long to be!0 -
I'm IN!!!
Why I want to get in shape:
Being heavy is killer on your self esteem, and trust me my weight has rocked my emotions a lot (just ask my husband). So a huge reason is emotional well being. Not to mention, I want to be healthy and set a good example for my kids so they don't end up in the same situation someday. I want to inspire others who think they can't do it. I know I can do it, I just have motivation issues.0 -
I'd love to be in!
Why i want to get in shape:
To be more comfortable with myself! 0 -
ooooh!! i wanna join in too!!

185.8 would be an awesome goal for me cuz that would put me out of the "obese" BMI and into "overweight".
that's 37.6lbs to lose at 2.1 lbs per week. it's a bit much i think, but anything to keep me exercising and eating healthy so i can fit into a normal Halloween costume!!! 0 -
I want to loose 25lbs by halloween. So I can enjoy doing more things with with my kids. I have just reached 20Lbs down but still have a ways to go.0
-
I am in too! I want to lose weight just for me, so I can walk into any regular size clothing store and buy what I want. So I can get on a plane and not worry about whether the seatbelt will fit or not. To get up in the morning and like what I see in the mirror! That is why I am in.... 30lbs by Halloween! Let's go!0

I think i was able to make the ticker, I couldnt figure out how to make it say the Lean By Halloween but i wrote it about it! 0

Why I Want To Get In Shape
To improve my overall health and hopefully get off some/if not all of my prescription medications.
Also, to reduce my risk of developing heart disease and stroke.
Relieve some stress in my life through exercise.
Be a good role model for my kids to get active and stay active
.I want to free myself from the fat me and see the thinner me I use to be.
In memory of my Dad, Harry V. Gibson. Who suffered a massive stroke 11/13/91 and passed away 1/31/07. I know he'd want me to be in better shape and taking care of myself.
I want to have a lot more time/years to spend with my family & friends.0 -

Not sure if this will work..my last post didn't show the halloween ticker..so if this doesn't work--sorry.0 -
I am def. in this challenge! :bigsmile:
CW: 157.4
GW (by Halloween): 120lbs (my goal weight)
My story: I weighed 153lbs when I was only 12 years old. When I got to high school my sophomore year I started to exercise and wanted to lose weight. By the end of my junior year in high school I weighed 97lbs. I started dating and met my current boyfriend. People started getting worried because I was still losing weight. I entered college and by the end of my second year I weighed 140lbs. I am currently in my junior year of college and weigh 163lbs (after joining MFP I ended up gaining 3lbs and hitting 166!).
Why I Want To Get In Shape
I want to become healthy and lose for my own health. During the recent years my mother had been diagnosed with Diabetes. I look at myself following in her foot steps if I do not change my habits now. I want to be healthy and set an example for mom to lose weight.

good luck everyone!0 -
I'm in, new to MFP but finding it great already. Need some extra motivation for reaching my goal of 140lbs this year after approx 17 years of trying to make it happen! Hoping to reach 140 way before halloween and so my goal for Halloween will be 133lbs if that's possible - never happened yet but with more support who knows?!

LOVE the idea of a before pic (take one this week if you can) & after (on Halloween or in costume)!
LEAN BY HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE GOAL = 15 POUNDS (that'll be me goal weight too)
CHALLENGE WEIGHT LOST SO FAR = 0
I AM TOTALLY IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually have a picture of me from last year in my halloween costume and it would rock to do a comparison over the year I am going to create that ticker now ...
Why I Want To Get In Shape
I want to share my life with my son instead of watching him from the sidelines.
***Just for this challenge, to wear a SEXY costume this year and feel good in it!***
My goals are:
- Get around 160 - 170 lbs
- Get my body fat percentage below 30%
- Fit into size 14 comfortably
- Earn back my self confidence
Bought a new scale for home to track my weight this month.... starting weight is 176.2! I will challenge myself to loss 15 pounds meaning by Halloween I want to weigh 161.2 (this scale is not used for my MFP weekly checkins but challenges only) 0 -
For the factory ticker ....... you have to use the 1st one listed and it will work.0
-
Being that I just hopped on the scale for the first time in a month and it's following a lot of "the diet starts tomorrow" mentality, I have changed my goal to 35 pounds. I weigh 15 pounds more than I did a month ago! No one freak out when I drop 10 or more in a week or two because I retain a serious amount of water!0
-
Weighing in for July 1: 200.8lbs : ( Thats 1.8lbs heavier than what I thought it would be!!!)0
-
hmm...my reason for being here??
i'm not really into showing a lot of skin or trying to look "hot". i've always been a tom boy and pretty conservative to boot. i don't really like heals, dresses, ribbons and bows, and that sort of stuff. i just wanna be able to wear jeans and a t-shirt and not look horrible.
i'm doing this because i want to be able to do physical stuff. i don't want weight limits to stop me from riding a horse or going sky diving. i want to play laser tag or paintball without being scared that the suit won't fit me and go to an amusement park without getting kicked off a ride cuz i don't fit in the seat. i don't want to say no to the beach anymore cuz i won't wear a bathing suit. i want to snowboard and be on a kickball team. i want to be able to run and climb things and jump and basically do whatever i want without my BODY stopping me.0 -
Ok! My goal is to lose 30lbs by Halloween! That gives me 4 months so not impossible! My birthday is also in October (23rd) so that gives me even more incentive!
Why I Want To Get In Shape:
To feel good about myself for the first time in my life.
To be a good example for my girls.
Feel free to add me as a friend!0 -
Hi All - I'm in! Name's Sherri, I've been on MFP since May of this year and I'm looking forward to being part of this challenge! I added my ticker, but one question - how do you title the thing? I'm computer savvy and can't figure it out for the life of me! :grumble:
From my profile:
Why I Want To Get In Shape
At first, I just wanted to look better. Fit into the jeans that I was slowly growing out of. Not feel like a cow in a bikini. I honestly thought it would be fairly easy and I could do it for a few months and be done with it. But what I'm learning is that feeling stronger (along with seeing results) brings a confidence that I wasn't expecting -- and a feeling that's becoming addicting! Logging my food has become second nature. Rather than an ice cream cone, I go for an extra walk. I'm being noticed by the fellas more.
GOOD LUCK to all of us!
And yes, I still want to look better. I plan on rockin' my bikini.0 -
I've been thinking about joining a challenge and this is perfect! My name is Sarah. I want to get in shape for so many reasons, my kids, my hubby and myself. I've been having issues with depression and I think having a healthier body will help with a healthier mind!
I would like to lose 25 lbs by Halloween.0
