Lean By Halloween Challenge!

This sounds fun. It's late though, will post more tomorrow.

Hi I'm Angie,
Why I Want To Get In Shape
I want to be proud of the way I look and my fitness levels

This sounds like something I might be able to do My wedding anniversary is 10/16 and I would love to drop 20lbs at least between now and then. I will post the rest and get the ticker later today..Off to work now

Why I Want To Get In Shape

I feel FAT! I know that I'm not really fat, but I'm heavier than I've ever been (if you don't count pregnancy). I hate pictures, all I see is rolls. I hate clothes. I just don't feel pretty anymore.

I really just want to jump start my weight loss, get off this roller coaster I'm on and LOSE THE WEIGHT. I was doing good, slacked for a week or so and now I'm having to start again. It's just frustrating and it's my own fault.

I like the sound of this group! I personally have been struggling with actual weight loss, but have seen positive results in strength and endurance with exercising. So, I will not set a high goal of 20 pounds as I really don't believe it's doable for me. So, by Halloween I may not be "lean", but I know I will work hard and keep challenging myself to work towards a healthier lifestyle. By the way, the reason for the minimal weight loss (5 pounds in 3 months) may be because of an under-active thyroid which I'm following up on and should know more conclusively in the next week or so.

I want to get in shape because deep inside, under the excess weight I'm very active, happy, hyper, confident, and cheerful person. Carrying this weight has made me hide in hubby's baggy clothes (he's 6'2 and I'm 5'1) and become less social. It's summer and it's starting to look pretty ridiculous wearing sweatshirts and long pants... The weight has changed me or at least, I've allowed it to change my feeling about myself. It's made me hold back from my goofy personality because I'm getting to be more shy about being noticed by others. I'm tired of feeling tired after not doing much and love the feeling of feeling tired because of working hard on something. I want to feel proud of myself!

Let's do this!

Hi Everybody! This sounds like a blast and just the thing to keep me motivated to keep going! I would like to loose 30 lbs by October. That's around 2 lbs a week. I'm setting my goal a bit high in my eyes, but it will keep me pushing myself right until the very end. Excited for this challenge to start! Good luck to everyone!

Why I want to get in Shape:I want to get in shape for myself. I had struggled with self image through most of college and am finally ready and accept the need for a change over all, mind and body. Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

Oh yes I am SO in for this!!! Halloween is my FAV holiday of the year so that DEF gives me more motivation and something to work towards!!! My work computer wont allow me to make a ticker but I will def do that when I get home tonight! Really excited for this challenge and look foward to losing with all of you!!!

Right now my goals are just to lose more weight and continue with this healthy lifestyle I have adapted since joining this website, I am doing 2 other challenges one that ends at the end of August and another the end of November so this will be great to do with the others to keep focused and let me know where I am at!!!

Why I Want To Get In Shape
I want to be thin since my whole life has been spent overweight it would be nice to not have to shop the plus sized stores anymore.

To feel comfortable in my own skin and not worry about what others think of my appearance.

Get my diabetes type II, blood pressure and cholesterol under control

Be at a healthy weight in order to get pregnant and maintain a healthy pregnancy.

To be able to ride rollercoasters again/not worrying if I will "fit" somewhere.

I LOVE LOVE HALLOWEEN! Samhain is the beginning of the new year! I dont own a scale but want to be part of this group. Ive lost 42 pounds so far and have gotten off one of the meds for type 2 diabetes. I just want to feel comfortable in my own skin, be healthy and get off all meds.
Ill say lose 25 pounds by Halloween

Why I want to get in Shape-
There are a number of health problems in my family from being over weight. I started to look at myself and realized I was heading down the same road. I started having aches and pains everywhere, I would get out of breath just from walking up a few steps... I was thinking- I'm too young to feel this way. Then, I would tell myself- I will start eating better next week, then the next week, then the next week....It is time to do something, it's now or never, I have to stop putting this off.

I want to be healthy!!

This is actually perfect. My Husband and I have a goal to be 40 pounds lighter by Halloween, (= The ticker thing just isn't coroporatiing with me though.

I'm In! Hoping to reach my personal goal weight of 153 and be in maintenance mode by halloween!

Why I want to get healthy!

Although I am fairly healthy, my mom has a number of health issues related to her weight, and frankly, I don't want to go down that road. I have had a number of issues recently, some of which are attributable to poor habits and weight and after saying for years that I'm going to get healthy, I have finally committed to it, and my partner and I are journeying down this road. Plain and simply, I want to be the best me that I can be, which includes looking better and feeling healthier.

I am totally in! I will be back to post my why!

I’m in!
So excited that this is a challenge because one of my mini goals was to be down 20 by Halloween!
About me: I’ve struggled with weight loss for awhile now and am really liking using MFP. I’ve tried a lot of other methods of weight loss and nothing has stuck! This is my commitment to a healthy lifestyle!!
Let’s get lean by Halloween!!!
