    Yes, lets do this 15 lbs seems doable. I have a history of losing a pound or two and then gain it back. I am like a yo-yo up, down, up, down and that irritates me.

    My starting weight is 190 lbs and I weigh in on Mondays. Goal for the 15 lbs is 175. Good luck.

    I only want to lose around 10. I think October would be a good timeline.
    I'm in :)
  • I'm so in! Haven't logged into here for a year and I am needing some motivation!

    Sounds like a terrific goal -- would bring me to a weight just this side (the good side) of a number I dislike. =) So I'm in!

    What has helped you guys in the past? What do you do each day toward this goal?

    I am in! This sounds like a doable goal and it gives me something to strive for! I do NOT have a costume picked out yet, but for my daughter it will be her second and I would love to get one!

    Anybody else have any ideas for costume?

    Halloween is my favorite holiday! I'm 33 and still love trick-or-treating. Thankfully I can still get away with since I'm only 5'0" and still get confused for a high school student. Since I don't have kids of my own, I borrow my neighbor's kids so that I can supervise them while I, err I mean they, go trick-or-treating. This year I suggested we go dressed as minions and I'm in the process of making our costumes 'cause the store bought kind just won't cut it. Even though my costume will totally hide my face and body, I would love to lose 15 lbs by then!

    Hi all!! My name is Brooke and Halloween is very special to me. Not only has it been my fav holiday for eleventy thousand years, but my baby boy was born right before Halloween last year!! I was very conservative with my weight loss goal for losing the baby weight. I wanted to have all of the weight off by his 1st birthday (OCT. 24th!!!). I am right now about 7 pounds away from that goal!!! Yay!! Now I need to lose the extra 40 I should have lost before I got pregnant with him (BOO)!!! So here I go......Oh and for Halloween I am going to be a "sexy" minion :) Yellow shirt, black gloves and tights, jean skirt or bibs and a cute pair of black frameless glasses!!!! Cant wait!!!!!! :devil:

    This sounds very doable! I am in! This is all new to me and I was happy to find this! Halloween is very exciting time for me as much as I love see the kids in their costumes and seeing what mine will pick as well, this was the day that I meet the love of my life! When I reach this goal, I will be half way there to my final goal!!!

    I'm at 166.5 right now and 15 pounds by Halloween sounds fantastic. My goal is to lose 20 pounds by the end of the year, so 15 of those by Halloween would be amazing.

    I have already managed to lose almost 20 pounds since the beginning of this year. Now I'm incorporating more exercise and strength building to ensure as I continue to lose weight I don't end up flabby.

    Great to read all your motivated and motivational posts! Should we have a weigh-in day for the group? Maybe we should stick with Thursdays seeing as that's the day this fine group was born?!

    I have been doing weigh in's on Mondays, It seems to keep me going through the weekends. But Thursdays Work too! I guess just post "First Weigh in" And we will follow your lead.
