Anyone out there wanna do the mission of losing 20 pounds by halloween with me?

I sit here fearing that I will allow myself to venture off, when I know deep down that I cant. Its not worth it and its not what I want. Looking for a support group to get "us" through the next 20 pounds. Gives us a little over 2 months. I think thats a good goal..

Anyone in it with me??
Find a weigh in day thats convenient for most of us.. And keep on a trucking.. I want to be down to 270 by October 31, 2010.

Com',mon ladies and gentlemen.. Lets give it our all..

    I'm in! I want to be down to 180 by Halloween (approx. 20lbs)

    I usually like weighing in on Friday's because I've been good all week and it's more forgiving for recovery from weekends :)

    It has worked for me. I'm on Synthroid (137mcg per day) for hypothyroidism. I have lost 36 lbs since Feb 2010 (26 of them since Mar 2010 on this site). That equals out to a weight loss of about one lb a week. If you think about it, that is 52 lbs a year of possible weight loss.
    Reference the "lose 20 lbs by Halloween", following my diet, I would only be able to lose 10 lbs between now and then. BUT, we are all different and I'm guessing others are on a diet that enables them to lose 2 lbs a week, rather than the 1 lb a week diet I am on.
    Anyway, you-all have fun. If you do not attain the 20 lbs, celebrate any and all lbs lost between now and Halloween. Any loss is a good thing. :drinker: (lots of water)

    How about we make the weigh in.. Between Friday Morning & Sunday Night.. I know its hard when you have an exact day to get to it.. That way you can make your own weigh in day.. Halloween is on a Sunday, so we can end on a sunday.. Weigh in whenever is convenient.

    Count me in! Sounds fun, my friend and I are currently having our own "biggest loser" competition. We started off by putting 10 dollars each into the pot, we weigh in every week, if we have gained any weight or have not lost any weight from the previous week, we have to add 5 dollars to the pot. We each have a goal of 10% of our body weight, so the weight loss number is actually different, but which ever one of us reaches our 10% goal first wins the pot! I would love to continue weighing in with you guys!
