    Hey!!

    Im glad this was created because I needed a little push to keep me going, I've been stuck at one weight for a few weeks now and I know its because I haven't been as active.

    So Im at 187lbs and 5'5.5"

    When I first joined this site I was 222 and I went back and forth and I finally got it through my head and its clicked this time.

    I would like to be at 177 by Halloween.... Even closer to my goal!

    My name is Jess and Im from Columbus, Oh... I plan on walking and jogging as my main source of exercise. My diary is open and I always add new friends. Thanks!

    Colleen! I think we have the exact same goal and are at the same spot! very cool! Anyways, my name is Stephanie and I am 5'6" and am currently 172. I'm wearing a size 10 right now and am hoping to be in my size 8 shorts by Thanksgiving. I'd love to lose 15 lbs by Halloween! I need to get a tape measure as I have NO idea what my measurements are!!! I also need to open my diary foreveryone. I just can't stand the judgementals out here. But whatever!

    Hey everyone! I'm so excited about this! My name is Christine and I'm a 19-year-old student from Ontario, Canada. I'm 5'5'' and I weighed in this morning at 156.8 lbs. I started my journey around 170 lbs and my ultimate goal weight is around 130 lbs and FIT!

    I'd like to make it under the 150 lb mark by Halloween... still not sure what I'm dressing up as but Halloween parties are a big deal at my university, so I'm sure it'll be good!

    Thanks for setting this up, Colleen! I know I will be successful with the help of all of you :-) My name is Joey and I am 43 years old with 4 kids. My oldest is 17 and my youngest is 2, so they keep me busy! I sometimes struggle to get my workout in, but this challenge might be just the thing to keep me going!

    THANKS again! :happy:

    Hi there!! My name is Holly, AKA hollyrunner; because I run and because I'm always running. I love a challenge!! This is the first group I've joined....hope I do it right :) I recently had my 265 day of logging MFP and at that point I had lost 8 pounds, 5 inches from my waist and 6 inches from my hips. The scale hasn't moved much for me but the inches lost have kept me motivated to keep going strong. My goal during the challenge would be to lose 10 pounds and another inch from the waist and the hips.

    Currently my closely guarded secret - 159 pounds
    Goal - 149

    Current Waist - 30.5
    Goal - 29.5

    Current Hips - 36.0
    Goal - 35.0

    Good Morning Everyone!! My name is Dara. I am 39yo and am in Oklahoma City. I am 5'3" and weighed in this morning at 126. I would like to drop down to about 115, but my main goal is to lean out.

    I started following the Fighter Diet program a week ago......which I am loving so far...... and am working out 6 days/week. (3 days weight lifting / 3 days cardio).

    Last week & this week my weight lifting days have been full body workouts. Next week I will do splits. My cardio has consisted of mostly running lately. I have done a few races over the summer and plan on at least one more in October. I also like to throw in a little swimming and biking to change things up a bit.

    Good luck to everyone and lets rock this!!!!......and feel free to add me. :-)

    Hi, I'm Victoria! I live in Manhattan and I don't have a whole lot to lose, only 10 lb or so - I'd like to be down to at least 125 before Halloween, but I'm also going to New York Comic con as well, so I want to get as fit as I can before that? I'm planning on doing vinyasa yoga about three times a week and I'm going to try to get back on the Couch to 5k as well (I wasn't wearing the right shoes so my ankles started to hurt after two weeks and I had to stop running to heal up). Let's see if it helps!

    Oh, Haaiiiiiiiiii!!! :happy:

    I'm Rebecca. I am 29, 5'10, 218 pounds, and still have about 55-60 pounds left to lose. I started at 286, so I am a little over halfway through my journey... I have been stuck in a plateau for a few months now. I keep losing and gaining the same 5 pounds over and over again.

    I LOVE Halloween, and my "hubby" (we're not married, yet... it's just easier to call him hubby than give a 5 min explaination of our situation... LOL) and I go to a costume party every year - so this is pretty cool. What I am MORE excited about though, is that 17 days AFTER this challenge ends, I will be getting on a cruise ship with the hubby for my very first REAL vacation. Which means a bathing suit. YIKES!!!

    I started the 30DS (again) on Tuesday, and I have been doing the C25k program for a while. I am stuck on week 5 and can't seem to get past it. BUT I run my first ever 5K on Oct 6th...

    I would like to be under 200 pounds (for the first time in 7 years) by the time I set foot on that ship. That means trying to lose 2lbs per week, which is a stretch. That also means a goal weight of 206 by Halloween. 12 pounds in a little over a month. :noway:

    Good luck ladies! If you friend request me, just make sure to mention this group, so I know where you're from! :happy:

    Hello loves! My name is Angel and I am sooo excited to get HOT by Halloween with you all! It has been a long time goal for me to be hot for Halloween for a couple of years now and I am determined that this will be the year :) I am currently at 175 and would love to at least be in the 160;s by Halloween 150;s if possible... LOL I am 25. I have been doing 30 Day Shred, but Level 2 has been killing my knees so I am trying to revamp and figure out how to get through this because it does work :)

    Hi everyone - i'm 5'6 and I lost 20 lbs so far and have 12-15 more to go and I'll finally be 125lbs!

    i spin 4x a week and do zumba/dance it out 2x a week but I need to kick it up a notch and train harder! especially start lifting again because that kept me super lean before! also I'm vegan and mostly gluten free!

    feel free to add me - let's stay motivated gals xo

    Hey everyone! My name is Jessi and I recently finished college and I'm ready to finally lose those college pounds! I just joined MFP last week so I'm at the very beginning of my fit journey. I am 5'5 and my start weight was 214.5 and at my last weigh in I was 212! I guess its off to a good start. I want to be Hot by Halloween but my main goal is to lose at least 25lbs by New Years! I'm going to Vegas for the first time. Ultimate goal is to be in the 130s.

    I plan on going to my weekly Belly Dancing Class, Elliptical, Biking and a weight loss yoga video.

    Hey Ladies,
    I'm Lauren. I'm 29 and live in Oregon. I'm 5'7" and weighed in at 137 this morning and a size 8. I would love to be around 130 by Halloween. Maybe a steady 132ish, lol. My UGW is around 125ish.
    I run about 3x a week, am currently doing the Butt Bible program (stupid name, I know!) which I really enjoy, and am an avid [hula] hoop dancer.
    I LOVE Halloween and am excited for this challenge, getting to know you all and seeing our amazing results!
