    Halloween is my favorite holiday! Would love to lose a LOT more than 5 lbs total, but 5 by Halloween sounds great!

    As for the costume, my husband & I always hold a "Dead & Breakfast" party, so I would love to find a black dress to stencil like this one:

    I'm into that!! LOVE Halloween! One of my belly dance troupes does a Halloween number every year (my profile photo is my Steampunk Frankenstein costume). This year we're doing a belly dance take on a twisted Alice in Wonderland. A little more mainstream, but I think our take is pretty fresh.

    I would love to track 5 pounds with you guys. I signed my mom up for a tough mudder and in return she signed me up for a half marathon right before Halloween. Losing 5 pounds would be a great help for both those events.

    Halloween is my FAVOURITE holiday! The only downside is I live in the UK, so there's not as much enthusiasm for it as I would like!

    I did Mia Wallace two years ago:

    Not the most flattering photo, but I was overdosed!

    This year I want to do The Painted Doll from The Devil's Carnival

    Hoping to lose a little more than 5, but it's definitely a good goal (:

    Starting weight: 143
    Goal Weight: 138

    I should do this. I need to up my exercise to enjoy all the yummy fall foods.

    Current weight: 135 pounds.
    Goal weight: 130 pounds.
    Ultimate goal weight: 120 pounds.

    I want to go as the evil queen. My husband is going as Robin Hood. The evil queen and Robin Hood were an item in Once Upon a time, so it would be a couple's costume.

    Thanks! It was a total hassle trying to get the syringe to stay on, not going to lie, I super-glued it to myself. Worked well until some random guy accidentally ripped it off! (Oh the pain)

    In terms of plans, I'm not really doing any specific, my main goal is to just stick with consistency, have less days going over my calories etc.

    Also, millions more squats! Need to get a nice bum for this years costume!

    Oh god last Halloween I looked awful, I'm definitely in.

    SW: 90 kilos (198 pounds)
    GW: 87.5 kilos (193 pounds)

    That's to lose 5 pounds by Halloween which I think I'll do. My real goal will be 85 kilos, which is 5 kilos. I think I can do this. :) Weigh in Fridays!

    I'm in :)! I want to loose a little more than that by I secretly love 5lb goals :)

    This years costume choices : robin hood, etch a sketch or a group costume with my roommate of the homemade variety.

    CW: 146.7
    GW: 135(?)
    5'3- soon to be 21 yr old female.

    I question my goal weight because I haven't seen the 140's since high school and I never used to weight so im not sure where ill be happiest haha.

    My thoughts on how to get there will be....sticking to calories, working out 6 times a week ( normal now), workouts will include my own versions of hitt workouts ( 40seconds run, 10 burpees, 40 seconds run x 10 for example) + cardio.

    That and staying positive :)

    This is the perfect group! I live in Salem, MA, home of the Salem Witch Trials, so Halloween is basically the biggest holiday of the year for me. I sincerely have no idea how much I weigh at the moment, as I forgot my scale in NC when I moved but I hope to buy one today or maybe Tuesday. Last I weighed myself I was in at 135lbs, but I've definitely put some weight on at school. I've been waaay over eating and really neglecting my health.

    CW:140
    Halloween GW: 135-130lbs
    UGW: 110lbs

    Me and my two roommates are being Berlioz, Marie, and Toulouse (the kittens from The Aristocats!) one night, but Halloween here is a month long thing, so I'll probably have about 10 more by the end of the month! :3 I usually end up doing a face paint intensive costume at some point.

    I can't wait to be able to start posting!

    I know this isn't the place for it, but I work out 6 days and that day of rest is crucial, otherwise your muscles will hold on to water all the time because they don't get a day of recovery. I'm sure you already know you're eating too little, so I'll leave you to that.

    Has anyone bought a costume yet and care to share pictures?

    5 days until Halloween, and was just wondering how everyone was doing?!

    Last time I weighed myself was October 15th, and I'd hit 136lbs, the lowest I've weighed in years, and 2lbs over my goal of 5 by Halloween! Unfortunately, I had quite a few bad days since then, so the weight has probably creeped up by a couple of lbs, but I'm pretty sure I'll have hit my goal of 138, or surpassed it again by the 31st, keeping off my scales until then and hoping for the best!

    Does anyone else have any updates for us? I hope you're all doing well (:
