Hi,
I'm Jessica and started this weight loss game back in May of 2012. I have slacked off the past few months and have gained some weight back. I am back on track and looking to reach my ultimate goal.

Would love to lose 22 pounds by Halloween and be sporting my costume at 156 pounds!!

Looking forward to getting to know all of you!!

    HI,

    I'm Dana and ready to get back at it- it's time I do more than just cut out soda so now I'm continuously working at re-introducing healthy food and exercise.

    I'd be tickled if I lost 20 lbs by Halloween (So I can go as the incredible She-Hulk and win the costume contest at work!)

    Let's cut like nuts!!

    Hi,

    I'm Shahla. I would love to fit back into my honeymoon jeans by Halloween! No reason - just nice to have a goal :)

    I am avid about hot yoga, and eat vegan 5 days / week, but still am not loosing weight. Maybe a good goal to have will make me push myself harder.

    Good to meet you all :)

    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 Ricky and I would like to lose 30 lbs by Halloween. Figure this would help keep me motivated more than just soloing.

    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...

    Hi everyone,

    Just stumbled across this group and I'd love to join in. Last year I lost a lot of weight and was working out pretty much daily. However, it's been creeping back on... close to 20 lbs worth this year! So i'd love to lose that much by halloween and feel great in a costume :D

    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 everyone, I'm December. My goal really is to be healthy again. Right now I have a 15 lb goal. I'm looking for 130 again at this point. Good luck 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!
