    Hi everyone, I would like to join this challenge too if I can. 3 months ago I was doing great, had lost 45 lbs, then wham, I let myself into the potato chips and everything went downhill. My goal is to get back to where I was before the evil chips, so I am going to lose 14 lbs by Halloween. Good luck everyone!

    oh wow I would like to join I'm one week new to the program and I think challenges are motivating. I recently won our unofficial 30 day biggest loser challenge (amongst friends) and I tell you the motivation that kept me going was just knowing that I was challenging others. Eventhough it is already 9/23/10, and 9:15pm here in Japan, I believe that I could meet a sustainable 10lb loss by October 31st. I'm all in

    Current weight:236
    10/31 Weight: 226

    I plan to achieve that goal by continuing with the C25k, calorie control, 120oz of water daily (my usual), Zumba, & meditation. Oh & I want to limit my Pepsi intake from one a day to 1 a week to hopefully cut them out all together.

    Well if yall will have me I'm in. Thanks

    Hey fitness friends, I am in!!! my goal is to lose 15pounds by Halloween. My name is Maria and I am a week new to myfitnesspal.com. My current weight is 254, and I've managed to lose 7pounds in 9 days. I have not worked out everyday due to studying for school and other stupid excuses. I plan to work out 30 minutes of cardio a day, and plan to join the gym in October with my son, to make it a family affair. GOOD LUCK to everyone....no I take that back...this isn't luck, this is will power, so GOOD WILL POWER to everyone and much success and happiness.....LET's BRING IT!!!!

    I love a challenge! I hope I'm not too late to join. I am relatively new to MFP (3 weeks), but I LOVE it! People are great ... so supportive and encouraging and lots of great recipes, tips & ideas. I am going to set my mini goal for 175 by Halloween. Not really sure if that is realistic or not. I am at 183 now and try to maintain about 1400 calories per day. I also try to walk for 60-90 minutes per day at least four days per week and swim 30 minutes per day at least two days per week. The most helpful tool I have is this site...it keeps me honest and motivated! Thanks, y'all! Have a great day!

    I would love to join this challenge. I just started MFP on Sept 1. The first week I lost three but it was my TOM. Second week I went up a pound so it was tempting to give up! I just felt so much better so I stuck with it. I am down 5 more pounds as of yesterday morning. Yay!!!

    For this challenge, I would love to lose 6 pounds by Halloween. :)

    yesterday i went 610 calories over my 1200 budget........I have to explain about the mcflurry, I know it's not a good excuse, but I had a 13 min break at job. Worked from 4:30 pm til 10:15 pm. NOT COMPLAINNG AT ALL...we were slammed...they had me in several places throughout the day...drive thru taking both orders and cash...then a few hours later switched me from drive thru to taking orders in the lobby....then after a lil bit switched me back over to drive thru...me personally i prefer drive thru over ANYTHING ELSE there....I'M LOVING IT....LOL...so after i got off work, one of my friends wanted a mcflurry....SOOOOO I decided you know that sounds like a great way to end my day...lol...so i got snack size Reese's flurry.

    Then, when I get home my buddy had BBQ and I just COULD NOT say no to that...lol....I didn't even bother counting...didn't bother measuring or ANYTHING...LOL...anyways i can just count this day as ONE of my cheat days....lol...AFTER ALL my cheat days is the weekend...lol

    EXERCISE:
    60 MINS WALKING

    Well, I had gained 2 pounds and now I have lost them along with one more pound!! SO I will officially weigh in on Monday morn and see what that brings. I am excited for this challenge!! I really do want to lose the 15 pounds by Oct 31, but I will also be happy with 10 pounds as that would be the recommended 2 pounds per week and I really do want to keep this weight off!
