Lose 5 pounds by Halloween Challenge

sarahkatara

Count me in- this was my challenge anyway! I want to try for ten pounds but I would be happy with 5 for sure. Starting 10/08; starting weight: 166.2. Currently eating up to 1200 calories per day and aiming for a 700-900 calorie deficit.
Can't wait to see what we all can do!!!

How was the weekend for everyone? It was rough for me. I ate a lot of things I shouldn't have. Hopefully it won't be reflected on the scale Friday.

I ate well. Nothing destructive...but I normally do my weigh -in's on Monday....and I didn't see any movement. I guess not maintaining is better than gaining. I know I'm nearing the end of my weight loss...but I don't want to be done. It is hard to see the scales moving slower now....especially since for 7 months I was losing about 8-10 lbs a month. Now I'm lucky if I lose 2 lbs.

Slow and steady...I know, I know! But, ....that's what I think about that! lol

Tomorrow is our second weigh in day. I hope everyone has had a great, successful week. Can't wait to see everyone's results. Best of luck to everyone

Ugh...maintained AGAIN. However, I suppose that is good. I've changed things up a bit. I increased my calories to maintaince and dropped all exercise. I'm doing this for a week, then I'm picking things back up and starting fresh. I am trying to shake things up and confuse the heck out of my body. We'll see if this backfires or not.

Wish me luck!

OK drop 1 pound, guess that is better then gaining.
4lbs to go. Started HIIT training on the treadmill, I am hoping by next week I will see at least two pounds off..:laugh:

No weight loss this week but I am noticing a change in my body. I don't think that I have stalled, I just think the pumpkin pancakes, beer and pasta just held on a little lol. But I am still hopeful that I could lose the weight by Halloween. Good luck again to everyone!

Awesome results so far everyone. We are two weeks in and at the halfway mark. Are you meeting your weekly goals? If not, what can you do differently to make sure those goals are met?

Last week's weight - 149.2
Today's weight - 148

1.2 pounds down since last week! Oh yea! 148 pounds was the goal I first set for myself when I started on this journey so I'm happy to have reached it. 3 pounds to go for the challenge, 8 pounds to go overall. Keep up the great work everyone!!!

Can I join? =D

Absolutely. We are two weeks in but you are still welcome to join if you'd like. We weigh in on Fridays. Your goal does not have to be 5 pounds. It can be more or less--whatever you choose. Good luck.

That is awesome! Congrats!! I don't know how tomorrow is going to look for me but I'm hoping to at least stay the same if I don't lose anything. I don't want the scale going in the other direction, but with the week I've had, it very well could. Let's hope not though.

Wishing everyone much success and the best of luck tomorrow for our weigh in. I hope this challenge is helping you stay dedicated and giving you the accountability we often need on this journey. *Muah*
