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!

Hi guys! I'm Kara. I first started tracking with MFP in February and lost 30 pounds in the first 3 months. After that I plateaued for 2 months but recently made some changes to my diet and fitness routine and I think I've begun losing again. I would really like to lose another 20 pounds by Halloween and get down in the 130s...I just hope that is a realistic goal.

Hi I am laura 36 a SAHM > I am going to say 10 lbs if I lose more great. Any amount of weight lose would be great. That why I can be 10 lbs lighter before I take my kids out.

Hey everyone, my name is Sophia and I've been on MFP since January 2012. I was losing regularly for the first year then hit a lull this year and it's been up and down since. I stopped tracking for the past month and promptly gained almost 10 lbs so it's time to get back on track. I'm hoping to at least get back to the weight I was by the end of this challenge so I can fit comfortably into my clothes again. That means losing 10 lbs by Halloween!

Good luck to everyone, looking forward to "losing" with all of you.

Hi I am Marcy. I would like to lose 20 pounds:-)

Hello!!

I just joined MFP after lurking around for quite some time... Well, I lost some nice pounds back last year but then - I don't know why - I stopped following my diet, went back to all the old habits, tried to recover the route but failed disastrously, went through a very emotionally stressful period (a doomed relationship, a bad breakup, lost some friends) and well, here I am, after regaining it all back! Bummer.

But well, I'm back on this, more determined than ever wink I'm back on low carb (the only way I can lose weight since I'm hyperinsulinaemic/insulin resistant), aiming for ketosis, just started Couch to 5k program, will crosstrain on my bike, etc. I've got a good battle plan.

I love Halloween and well, I hope this year's costume will be the most memorable yet bigsmile
