    My goal was 25 by November 1st, to put me in my healthy BMI range. 30 could work too! ;)

    Although I still have quite a ways to goal, I'd like to really surprise my extended family at Thanksgiving with what I have lost. 30 pounds by Halloween would be a huge jump. I'm definitely in. Thanks for the idea and motivation.

    I will honestly try. It seems like alot. I am having trouble with weight loss. Since June 15 I have only lost 9 pounds. Are you not eating?

    Successes. I bought my scale and discovered I had lost 8 pounds in the last month and a half. That was cool. Since I just weighed yesterday, I'm going to wait till next Wednesday to weigh again - ooooh that will be hard. I'm not counting my 8 as part of our campaign, so I'm hoping for 6 since I'm getting a late start (at least 4 and I can average the other 2 in with the other weeks if I need to).

    Happy day, I got nearly 4 miles in which helped me to stay well under on calories - small victories - right? Still struggling getting my water in which is crazy in this heat!

    I am totally in! I weigh in on Mondays - my 1st week I lost 4.6 pounds! I am so excited to do this! I am leaving for Seattle on Friday not looking forward to the challenge of fitting eating right into my vacation - i am scared to death!

    Wow - we're getting a lot of people that our challenge resonates with. What a way to enter the busy holiday season; lighter, healthier and probably a little happier too.

    For those of you who don't have 30 to lose, or feel late coming in --- it doesn't matter!!! 30 is just a number that worked for the original 4 of us. Whatever your goal is by 10/31 or 11/01, you've taken the first few steps by acknowledging your desire and joining a challenge for support.

    Please post often, and share what's going on in your world that's challenging you as well as helping you succeed.

    OK - on to personal notes...
    - I *love* my new hair! It's a big change, the biggest in at least 5 years, and I am very ready for it.
    - I did not get on the scale this morning: one day down, 4 to go.
    - I'm planning on another low-cal/high-protein day, because I plan to have pizza toppings tomorrow. *drool*

    Have a great Thursday!

    PS: you should all be jealous, I get to hang out with tekavincent (who's in our challenge!) this weekend!!! :drinker:

    I'm in! I am already excited about Halloween as it is, this only makes it better. If I can lose 20lbs I'll be at my pre pregnancy weight of 158lbs, so if I could reach 148lbs by Halloween that would be awesome. That would leave me with only 13lbs to my goal weight. lets do this. By the way, I'm in Texas too. Born and raised! :wink:

    I'm in too! My goal weight is 140 - so that's 31 lbs away. I'm doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution - started 8/1, which ends right before Halloween!

    Some successes this week...

    Now that I can fit into my size 12 jeans, I've bought some 10's for motivation! I also bought some cute dresses in a size small because my mediums are getting too big. I will post some pics when they arrive!

    I entered the 150's this morning. 159.8 :) 6 more pounds until this shorty is no longer "obese" in the BMI department. Now just 29 to go for my birthday/Halloween goal!

    Congrats to your successes this week!
