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, I'm Terrie.

I'm starting this group at 163 lbs. and though I'd like to lose 40 by Halloween, I know with my Type 1 diabetes and the hot weather coming on, that 40 is out of the question. I'm going to try for 20 and hope to bypass that and lose more.

I don't have air conditioning and I workout at home so when the weather hits the 90's+ I really slow down. I'll try to swim when I get the chance and this group will keep me motivated to do all I can. My other challenge group ends the end of July so this is great!

Hello!! This seems like a great group My name's Christine, and I've lost 40 pounds since last september. I'd really like to reach my goal of 40 more pounds lost by november. it's going to be difficult, but this should be good motivation to keep my momentum through the summer. Feel free to add me!

Hi Guys,
I have been a member on MFP for over 1 year. I lost 18lbs and then went on a month's vacation and gained it all back. But this time around I am pretty dedicated **fingers crossed** . I am 29 :grumble: and I am 5 feet 2 inches tall (or we may say short) My problem is consistency,. I get demotivated very quickly and then i start binging and skipping gym. I work well when I am a part of some challenge, then the real warrior in me wakes up for the competition. I recently started C25K an i am on Week 2 Day 3 of the program. I am super pumped to join this group and start a challenge. I lift too.. but these day i am focusing on Cardio. Once i finish this C25k I will get back to lifting. Hope to make some new friends and kick some fats of this body of mine :glasses:

XOXO

Hi, My name is Stephanie and I am excited to join this group. Halloween is a little over 22 weeks from now and I would like to lose 44 lbs by that time. 44lbs would put me in Onederland! My husband and my 7 year anniversary is October 21st and being in the hundreds would be a wonderful present for both of us. We can do this!

Hello. My name is Abby, I have been using MFP for a week now and lost 2 lbs I have over a 100 lbs to lose so losing 40 by Halloween will be great! Also, since I'm still pretty new, I could use more friends in here. The last couple of years I have been wearing the same Strawberry Shortcake outfit because the new one I bought did not fit properly Hoping to fit into it this year.. Good luck everybody!

HI MY NAME IS CANDY...SOUNDS LIKE A PERFECT PLAN, NEED TO HAVE SOME SUPPORT TO GET ME STARTED AND HELP ME TO BE MOTIVATED, I AM GREAT AT HELPING OTHERS, NOT SO MUCH MYSELF

Hi. My name is Katie. I am a 27 year old mother of 2. Sarah (5) and Seth (2). I love Halloween, it is my favorite holiday!!! Well, that and Christmas. =0) I would love to dress up and look GOOD for once in my costume. For the last 6 years I have felt so bad about myself I have not even tried to find a costume. I weigh 222 lbs right now and am looking to lose 90-100 lbs total. 40 lbs by Halloween sounds great and it also will make me look good for my anniversary 2 days later. Add me if you would like to. =0)

I am Sheila. I have lost and regained weight with the birth of every child. I am really trying hard to lose it for good this time. I have been using MFP and fitbit since the first of the year and am about 20 pounds lighter. I would love to lose about 20 more by Halloween...since that is my B-DAY! I am looking forward to the support of the group!!!!

YES! This is just what I need. A goal date with others! Not sure if this group will show up in my feed on my app, so add me as a friend if you want. I need it!!! PLEASE! We're gonna do this!

I'm looking to lose about 60 lbs altogether and am wanting to lose 50 of it by my birthday next year (January). This group sounds like a bunch of people who are looking to lose similar amounts of weight so I'm hoping to stay motivated with you all.

I put on the weight thanks to leftover baby weight and depression. Right now I have some health issues causing me to not be able to do much in the way of exercise so I'm starting by changing my eating habits. My snacks have got to change and I need to stop eating when I'm upset.

This sounds like a great goal, and very doable. Hoping this will hope motivate me and get me back on track. Very excited!! Feel free to add me as a friend. More the merrier. 40 more just happens to be my goal anyway, so this is perfect

I'm Kate

Halloween is my favorite holiday! I hate having to buy ugly plus size costumes and this year I want to wear something really cute. SO I am definitely in for this challenge.

I love love love Halloween and I'm excited to join this challenge.

I'm making sure to get some kind of exercise in every day, no matter how I feel!

Just realized that I hadn't posted here yet. My current weight is 211. So it would be GREAT to lose 40 by Halloween. I'm going to try at least. As for exercise -- I've been going twice a week to dance cardio and I've just started the Slim in 6 program. In a week or so I'll start the c25k. When I complete the Slim in 6 I may move on and try the P90X stuff. My mom got that for my about 2 years ago for Christmas and I have yet to do it.
