in Motivation and Support
I wanted to form a small group of maybe 4 or 5 people to do a challenge together. Preferably around 27-33 years old and around 5'3" so we'll kinda be close to the same. :-) Goal is to lose 5 lbs by Halloween!!!

It would cool to be able to add each other on so we can see each others progress on the news feed.


Weigh-in dates are: October 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st


Staring weight (SW): 173
Current Weight (CW): 144.8
Halloween Goal (HG):139.8
Goal Weight (GW):

    Okay I think we'll close the group with just the people we have so far. In my opinion groups get too confusing when there are a ton of people and it's hard to get to know each other and their goals because they all start running together. lol

    Let's get this thing going, girls! We'll be hotties in no time! ;-)

    Today's weigh-in: 151

    I'm surprised I lost any weight at all this past week. It was a tough week at work, and over the last weekend, my husband and I had date night AND went to friends' houses for dinner both Saturday and Sunday night.

    I'll take my 1/2 pound down and make sure this next week produces better results!!!

    Okay, here we go:

    Starting weight: 135
    Current weight: 130
    Halloween Goal: 128
    Goal Weight: 118

    I weighed myself last Friday and I was 132 (as opposed to 133). It seems like I may have dropped a little fast, so I'm guessing I may have some water weight fluxations (though I weighed in at 130 yesterday as well). I'm 2 1/2 weeks in and following the plan this program gave me, so I guess this is all going well. Now I don't have to feel too bad about going out to eat and have drinks tomorrow evening. I think I've earned a cheat-night. :-)

    Okay, I'm 5'2 and a half:

    Starting weight: 146.6
    Current weight: 141
    Halloween Goal: 138 (break below 140!)
    Goal Weight: 116

    I'm currently at 1,500 calories a day right now, what about the rest of you? MFP puts me at 1,320 cals but my BMR is like 1,420...

    MFP currently has me a 1,200 calories a day, but that takes into account the fact that I have a desk job. I burn very few calories at work sadly.

    I'm being pretty good about staying in range. The days I eat more the 1,200 it's because I earned the calories back from workouts. I did have one day where I bunked it though... Mexican food and margaritas... Oh boy...

    Guess my weight-loss has evened out this week. I'm only 1/2 lb down from last week's weigh-in.

    I actually gained weight over this past week, and I have NO idea why. I stuck to my calorie goals, with the exception of going over by 200 yesterday (we went to a friend's house for dinner).

    Higher than my previous current weight but lower than my past week! I think I'll be happy to break to 139 at this rate :D

    Weigh in followed up some insight:

    Starting weight: 135
    Current weight: 126.5
    Halloween Goal: 128
    Goal Weight: 118


    Ok, so yesterday and Monday when I weighed myself I came in at 128 (the goal weight). Just now I weighed myself and came in at 126.5. I use this doctor's office type scale in my workplace's gym bathroom to weigh myself (I always do this between 9-10 each day). I do this fully dressed (minus my shoes). Usually I'm wearing an undershirt, long plants, knee socks, and a sweater or dress top of some kind. Today, I'm wearing hose and a light-weight sleeveless knee length dress. The conclusion I've come to is that my usual clothing probably weighs about 1.5-2lbs. It would mean that I haven't really lost 1.5lbs since yesterday, my clothing is just very different. I believe my moving forward strategy will be to try and gestimate my clothing weight and subtract it off of base weight. Because I don't like being disappointed later, I'll probably say a dress/hose combo is no subtraction, but a regular workday outfit is a 1lb-1.5lb subtraction (depending on the top I'm wearing). Ok.. that's all.
