Hot by Halloween Challenge

Halloween is about 4 and a half weeks away, and I'm just now getting myself back into shape, so why not start with a bang? I'm going to challenge myself to lose 4-5 pounds by October 31. Anyone else want in? Also, I'm in need of some new friends, so if you want to friend me, we'll support each other through this :)

    sure lets do it... I am going to start Mr. Shut up and train's challenge on 10/7. If you have never done it, you may want to check it out. It is super intense but kind of neat because it is free and changes daily.

    Being that I'm getting married on Halloween, HELL YEA! I want to get down to 135 by then. So I have 10 lbs to lose! Also, Halloween is a day when I take a mini-break from eating keto-style, so I want to be hot and then get back on track afterwards!

    Sounds like fun Halloween is the day before my birthday. :)
  • I'm in, have a fun idea including liquid latex, zippers, and a dress that I want to do. So if I could lose a little more weight by Halloween so I look better in a dress, that'd be awesome! :D

    I'm in :D I actually want to look good this Halloween!!!
  • Can I join you girls? My goal is to lose 16lbs by October 31st. I know that's a lot, but I'm just starting out, and tend to lose pretty fast at first, plus, I'm going by what Chris Powell does with his clients (Extreme Makeover). So, I'm really pushing myself. It's time!

    So, how will this work? Weekly weigh-ins? Or do we just report successes?

    Yay, us!

    We can do a weekly weigh in. If you don't want to share your weight, just tell how much you've lost. I'm going to be doing my weigh ins on Monday morning, but I'm fine with any day to report.

    Today was the first day in a long time that I actually worked out and watched my calories. I'm ready to kick some butt this month! How about you?

    I'd love to. I'm not looking to lose any weight, but I'd like to stick to my fitness goals and get through NROLFW stage 2 and be into 3 by halloween. I'm going out of town Wednesday-Sunday, but I'm ready to kick it into gear tomorrow and when I get back :)

    Hi guys, I've got a good friends wedding on the 31st that I'm flying all the way to Australia from Edinburgh... this means it's seriously time to get into shape!

    I've lost 1.5lbs in the last week and will be happy if I can get this to 2lbs a week - I'll check in with you next week :D

    Good luck! x

    I am jumping in. I need to lose about 10 lbs because I am going to on vacation with my boyfriend. I have gained 16 lbs all together. I want to lose about 20 lbs before the year end. Can't let this year end without great bang. Just because I am studying for my CPA doesn't mean I have excuses since I am not working either. I need some help to keep me going. I am starting Insanity and Hot Yoga. Also I am going to drink a gallon of water each day. Any one doing insanity ?
  • Oooh I'm in! I just did the September challenge and that was ace! I've got 3lbs to lose but it's proving really hard to shift! I've also got my bro coming to stay, a weekend away and staying at my gmas this month so be easy to pile it on! I will weigh in once a week but my weight will fluctuate a bit due to planned treats! I'm really hoping to lose those last few pounds! Good luck everyone, off to jump on the xtrainer now!!! Motivated already!
  • I am in! Add me and we will support eachother everyone!
  • Im in! I would love to lose 7 or 8 lbs
