Halloween Challenge

ChristieisReady · July 2015

This year, Halloween is on a Saturday! Which means adults get to celebrate it, too! Halloween is my favorite holiday, by far. But Halloween costumes are extra-challenging for those of us in the upper size ranges.

As of today, Halloween is EXACTLY 100 days away, and I intend to be under 200 lbs by that day. That's 28 pounds, which is 2 pounds per week (plus 2 days).

Who want to join me in a Halloween challenge? Post the # of lbs you want to lose by H-day, and at some point, tell us what you want to dress up as. I'm still deciding.

I am in! I am hoping to hit 180 by then, which is 27 lbs (almost exactly the same goal as you!) My boyfriend and I were thinking of both dressing up as St. Pauli's girls - German beer wenches (the joke being in his costume, of course!)

It sounds fun and very motivating. I want to be at 135 by then. That's 14 pounds away. As I get closer to my goal I find it harder to shed the pounds. Thinking about Halloween makes me realize that I have a reason to try harder to look my best! I don't know what I want to be. If I'm at my goal by then, then maybe something a little risqué.

Yay! So... we'll all check in weekly?

Count me in. Halloween is the biggest holiday of the year in our house. We decorate more than we do at Christmas.

For me, I think 12 lbs is a realistic goal and would put me at 165.

Would love to!! 10 pounds is a realistic goal for me (I'm breastfeeding so should only lose one pound a week) I will be around 184 pounds!

Now I need to start thinking of costumes for me and my son!

I'm in! My goal is to be at 160 by then, I'm 173 now. Totally attainable goal. I love Halloween!

ChristieisReady · July 2015

Ok, cool, that makes 5 of us! I think we should all check in on Wednesdays to track where we're at.

bashfulgemini81 · July 2015

I would like to join! Im hoping to lose at least 30 lbs by then. Im still not sure about the costume yet. lol

ChristieisReady · July 2015

Yay! Welcome!

arathena720 · July 2015

I'm in! I'd like to lose 12 pounds, which will be my goal weight, for a total of 22 pounds lost.

jmd543 · July 2015

Sounds fun. I'll work toward losing 25 by the holiday. I'll probably wear a steampunk outfit I planned for last new year's eve, but I didn't go. I just need to felt a hat.

wildrosewood · July 2015

My goal is 134 by Halloween, just 14 pounds away!

mandyP79 · July 2015

Im in but I'm not weighing. Not now anyways. I get easily discouraged by the scale. I plan to start weighing when I see results in the way my clothes fit. So, what I will do is post the weight I hope to be at around then. My goal will be 145lbs. My ultimate goal is 100 to 105. Im only 4'10.

ChristieisReady · July 2015

Ok, cool! That's just fine, mandy. Do what works for you. What do you think you want to dress up as?

kennagif · July 2015

I would love to join! I definitely need the motivation and accountability.

kennagif · July 2015

I would like to be 199, which is 26 pounds.

kacy87 · July 2015

I hadn't even considered what I want to dress up as but that'll be great motivation! Ideally I'd like to lose 30 pounds and get down to 170-175 by then.

jaqcan · July 2015

I'd love to join. -27lbs would put me at 250, and I'd be ecstatic!

PuckTard · July 2015

Count me in! I'd love to be down at least 13lbs by then, which would put me at 167. In my head, I'm saying I want to dress up as Harley Quinn ... but we'll see if I have lost the weight to have enough confidence to pull it off.
