Hey Everyone!

I'm Stacy, 42 from Oregon. If I looked at the calendar right, it's 10 or 11 weeks until Halloween. Since I am a slow loser (quite often a gainer!), I'm going to go with 10 pounds, if that's okay.

Looking forward to encouraging one another while we have fun making some positive changes!

Hi, I'm Iris and I would like to make it my goal from tomorrow to Halloween to lose 20Lbs. I don't know what I want to be for Halloween yet but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Looking forward t the support and the support I can give

Hi I'm Chantal!
I lost 20 lbs this summer and over the past couple weeks I've noticed myself falling off the wagon and slowly gaining back some weight so I figured joining a group would keep me accountable. I'd love to lose 20lbs by Halloween... more would be just fantastic too!

Hi everyone... I would love to lose 25 lbs by Halloween. I think I can do it if I step up my exercise. I have been eating healthy and exercising a little.... but this motivated me to do more...

this sounds great, I am in. I would like to lose 20lbs by Halloween.
Good luck to everyone!

Hi! I'm Amy. I started back up on MFP after my fourth baby was born. He just turned one last Saturday. I slipped a bit at the end of February when my husband was put in the hospital for high blood pressure. I had been doing great up until that point with tracking calories and staying around my goal each day. Stress got the best of me. We just bought our first house last month (what a process!!) and my husband has been told he's recovered 100% (besides having to take daily medicine) so the stress excuse really doesn't hold anymore. lol. We've been eating healthier but its time to really get portion sizes back down and stop the binge snacking. I have about 65 more pounds to lose. I was down 10 more pounds but gained it back over the past few months. Aiming for about 1.5 pounds a week so my goal for Halloween will be to lose 15 pounds. I'd love to lose more but I'll stick with something I know I can accomplish as long as I stay on track.

Good luck to everyone!!

Hi!
As you can see by my user name HalloweenGirl7, Halloween is my favorite holiday.
Really more of a lifelong passion! I love to create my own "Haunted House" and am having a big party this year!
My theme is "Witches & Ouijas" and I am of course going to be a Witch for Halloween.
I would love to look great in my purple and black striped stockings!
My desire is to lose 20lbs this year but I will be putting 15lbs down as my goal weight because it is more realistic!
I tend to gain muscle weight and lose inches rather than actual lbs in the beginning.
Good luck and see you all on the boards! :-)
Happy Hauntings!

Hi everyone! I'm Melody. I'm turning 34 next week. I'm 5'3" and currently weigh about 204.4 lbs. I started a summer challenge with my boyfriend and am close to reaching my goal (I have until 9/1). I need a new challenge to work on and thought the Halloween challenge was perfect!

Hi all. My name is Kate. I'm from Indiana. I'm a registered nurse who needs to lose this weight! I have no idea what I'm gonna do for Halloween but I hope this will inspire me to have fun, and look great doing it!

Hi. I'm Tee.

I plan to lose 20 lbs by Oct 31st. I have seriously fallen off over the last 7 years or so (gaining roughly 80 POUNDS) and I'm just dying to get back on tract and better than I used to be. I've tried the fad diets, yoyo diets, the "cleanse", deprivation, etc. You name it, I've tried it. I am not at the stage in my life where I am changing my lifestyle!! Eating clean and training DIRTY!! Let's get it!

Hi, I'm Cora and I'd like to lose 20 pounds by Halloween!

I probably won't dress up this year since even if I get to my goal, I'll be 198 pounds, but I would love to be at my goal of 130 by Halloween 2014, and if I'm there, I'll dress up for certain.

Hey Cora, I know you don't want to dress up but why not?
You deserve to have fun! Don't let weight keep you from having fun.
There are lots of plus size costume sites. If you want you can message me and I'll send you links.
I am plus and I am going to dress up! *not trying to lecture you just trying to encourage you! Hugs and smiles!!

Hello! I'm Jennifer and this is at least the 10th time I've started to lose weight. I'm hoping being encouraged and being held accountable will help me stick with it this time around! I'd like to lose 15 pounds by Halloween.

Hey all, my name is Regina/WickedStitch. Halloween is my fave, autumn is my season! My goal is to lose 20# by Halloween. While I've done relatively well this summer, I could have done better. We don't usually go anywhere, so no big plans but we always decorate and dress up....Wicked Stitch of course is always a Witch!

Hi everyone, I was looking for a good motivation to get back on track and Halloween is my favorite holiday so I really like this idea! I recently gained back a few pounds and needed that nudge to get back to tracking. I'm excited to start this challenge tomorrow and wish everyone a happy journey!
