    My name is Lindsay and I am from North Dakota. I do not currently have a goal weight, but if I was to loose 40lbs it would put me closer to my recommended weight. I am 25 years old, 5'5" and 205lbs.

    What a timely challenge!

    I'm Kim and I am from Pennsylvania. I'm 45, 5'7" and currently weigh 198.25

    I would LOVE to lose 40 pounds by Halloween as I'm going to New Orleans for Halloween and Voodoo Fest.
    Plus... 40 pounds would put me very very close to my goal weight

    Hi, I'm Jessica :) I'm 22, 5'2" and 213lbs. My first goal is losing around 40 lbs and I would be so happy to lose that this year (or get close, hehe) The most I do on Halloween is wear kitty ears in public that day but I love the idea of this group :heart: :drinker:

    Hey all!
    My name is Jen and my ultimate weight loss DREAM is to be able to pull off a sexy halloween costume. I am 5'6'' and currently weigh 170 lbs. To be under 130 by then would be unbelievable, but even anywhere close would be so satisfying. We can do this :)

    Hey everyone!
    My name is Danielle and I am from Nevada. I just started here on MyFitnessPal and think this would be a great starter and motivation challenge for me! I need friends on here who I can message when the times get tough so anyone who could use another friend are more then welcome to add me. I am 5' 5" 179lbs and my goal weight is to be about 140 so this will be perfect for me! Thanks guys!

    Hello,

    My name is Shauna, I'm 28 and 5'10. I currently weigh 195lbs which would put me at my goal weight of 155lbs. I'm going to be honest, I'm probably not going to be wearing a sexy costume, but I'd love to look great for the Halloween parties when I see friends who I haven't seen all year. What a great motivator!

    Hi

    I'm Sally and I'm from Sheffield in the UK. I'm 24 (well actually 23 but it's my birthday on Sunday! :-)) I am about 5'4" and currently weigh 80 kgs (176lbs), so my target weight by Halloween (well 26th Oct really as it's my friends wedding) is 62kg (136lbs). I lead a pretty sedentary lifestyle at the moment thanks to 2 years of serious health issues but I'm determined to loose all this weight I've put on in the last couple of years, and this seems like a great challenge. :-)

    Feel free to add me.

    Hi everyone! My name is Cindy and I'm from Prince George, BC. My current weight is 195 and I would love to lose 40 lbs by Halloween. That would get me very close to my goal weight. I have lost about 102 in total, 75 of them since October 2012 when I started MFP. I am huge fan of Halloween, The Walking Dead, anything scary, Stephen King books etc. Soooo jealous of the poster above, spending Halloween in New Orleans!

    Hello Lovelies! I'm Britt, I'm not too sure of my weight right now, my hormones are running amuck. But I'm 5'5", 27, and up for losing and seeing just how much I can lose by Halloween. I'd love to be super sexy by then!

    Hey! Sandra here, totally up for losing 40lbs by October. My goal is 10/month so I HOPE to lose 50lbs by October, but this will keep me on track even better. 40lbs would put me just into Onederland!!!

    Happy birthday!

    Thanks! It isn't actually until June 2nd and I've already been told that I'm going out for 4 different meals so I have a feeling this challenge for me won't really be starting until next week... But hey ho! I'm sure I'll have a great 4 day birthday! :-)

    Hi guys!

    I'm Loops, I'm 36, 5'7" and I live in Gloucestershire in the UK.

    I adore Halloween even though it isn't that big over here. Last year we went to a party in town with friends and I was a vampire... a fat vampire, this year we're probably going to the same party but I want to look very different from last year :happy: I've already sketched the outfit I want to make, and I hope it'll look as good on me as it does on paper for a change, I might share it nearer the time :wink:

    I'm Theresa, I'm shooting more for the end of September when I'll be getting married but Halloween works too! I'd love to meet this goal before my birthday in november.

    I've been having some trouble losing weight or inches despite deficit and regular lifting so I'm hoping that frequently checking in with a group will help keep me from throwing in the towel. It's hard to be running and getting nowhere.

    If I lost 40 I would be almost back to pre-kids weight. I was actually 135 but I don't need to be there. I liked the curves I had at 145.

    The biggest satisfaction would be me, arriving to this yearly Halloween party I go to, fully masked so no one could recognize me, and then pulling a big reveal!!! That is my little fantasy in my head and it works for me so I'm going with it!

    Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm 29 with two kids, and I'm from Western NY. My current weight is 175, I was 185 when I started just over a month ago. Losing 40 lbs by halloween would put me at or very near my goal weight.
