    I'll join also. I'm 73 (next month) and weigh 160. I always have trouble getting below the 160 mark! I'm 5'3" and hope to lose 6# by Halloween. I'd make that figure higher except I'm going on vacation for two weeks in September, LOL. My ultimate goal is to lose 25#.

    I will join! I'm 5'8" 210lbs at my last weigh in 28 years old...although I will be 29 when the challenge ends

    That cut off half of my post.

    I am also 11 weeks postpartum and having a hard time getting the scale to move. I hope to lose at least 10.

    Are you breastfeeding? when I had my daughter I was able to lose 31lbs but then gained 12 back and stayed there for 5 months... your body goes into survival mode. hope this helps.

    I am breastfeeding and I think at first my body was going into survival mode due to sticking around 1400 cal/day with exercise. I've since upped it to 1700-1900 cal/day and saw inches and pounds gone for 2 weeks but now I'm stuck again.

    Everyone said the pounds would melt off while breastfeeding. That has not been the case for me.

    I want to join this challenge. I'm participating in a "Biggest Loser" contest at work and we've been doing weekly weigh-ins on Friday since the start of August. The competition ends before Halloween, so this challenge will only help me stay accountable.

    The “Holiday Season” weight gain season is fast approaching. Let us prepare ourselves well and start getting fit and losing weight before the festivities start. We have 60+ days to do this. September and October are ideal months to start, or shall I say are the months left for us to do it. The Summer is over, the school term has started, there is a moment of relative quiet in the hectic annual calendar.

    RULES:
    Healthy weight loss is around 1 to 2 pounds per week, depending on how overweight you are to start with. This means that if you work hard you should be able to lose around 5 to 20 pounds before Halloween. You can also get much fitter.

    Weigh in is August 29 (Saturday) and every Saturday until October 31.
    So do not hesitate, sign up to tell us your start height, weight and goal for Halloween.

    Hello challengers. My name is Lisa. I am a 53 year old grandmother of 6. I am also 5' 2.5" tall. My start weight in March 2015 was 178 pounds. My ultimate goal is 120 pounds. My goal for this challenge is 125 pounds by Halloween. Slow and steady wins the race. That, and the fact I have two vacations planned for September. LOL.
