Lean By Halloween Challenge!

  • I want to be in shape to feel great about myself. As a teenager, I don't want to constantly let my weight inhibit me from the things I want to do. This Halloween, I am gonna look so hot. My goal is to be looking foxy for my 16th in November but I wanna wear those cute (kinda slutty) outfits. :tongue: Or just a tight black dress and some makeup to tell people I am a kitty. If you are skinny and pretty, no one cares. My number goal for these purposes will be 150. But it's more about the look than anything.

    This week, I did good. Most consistent logging and free of binging in a while. Last night, I binged, tried to purge, had a meltdown. Today, I was just lazy and ate whatever. Tommorow, back on track :D

    I'll say (since I haven't weighed in since binging) my starting weight is 170
    I'll weigh in each week and update here.
    <3 Good luck everyone, add me for support!

    Thank you again for another great challenge!

    Hi guys, I'm a mama to my amazing son, he is almost 19mo. My goal is to lose these final 5 pounds by October. I am 16lbs less than when I got pregnant with my son and figure the healthier I can be before the next one the better. I want to be in the best shape I can be to make sure I can be an active mother to my son (possibly children) and wife to my amazing husband.
    Let's all stay focused. With the support of great people we can & WILL reach our goals =)

    Having a great 4th! No bad eating and exercising everyday. Hope everyone is having a great Independence Day!
  • Why I Want To Get In Shape
    To gain confidence, feel sexy, and be healthier. Being a vocal performance major in school, my self confidence is one of the most important assets. I'll gain so much by losing!
  • Fantastic challenge, count me in. I aim to lose 30lbs by then. It is my birthday a few days after Halloween and I getting married two weeks after that.
  • Is this still open to who ever wants to join? It's been up for a few days...
  • Seems like people are still joining so I'm in.

    I want to lose weight because I'm just not happy with how my clothes fit or people look at me anymore. I want to feel attractive and know that I'm not only beautiful in my mind and in my soul, but my body as well.

    Halloween is my favorite holiday and was going to try to drop 20 by then anyway, If there ever is an appropriate time to wear fun cute Halloween outfits that highlight my figure mid 20's is the prime age to do it!

    Welcome newcomers! Hello to all! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I was able to stay on track and even get in some exercise. I stepped on the scale this morning and I have actually lost about 2lbs since we started this challenge last week! I'm very excited to continue. Good Luck! :wink:

    There's a reason I didn't really start this until this week. The 4th weekend was rough. But I was out of town and there's no such thing as healthy food on a holiday with family. However here are my stats beginning with what I was was before the holiday.

    Last week: 180

    I had an interesting weekend and definitely was more liberal with my food choices. I did buy jeans in a size smaller. I'm now a size 10 and I fit into the 8, but it pulled a little oddly so I decided against it for right now. Maybe by the next time I buy jeans, I'll leap frog the 8s all together. Here's hoping!

    Hiya!
    I'd like to join too please! My birthday is in November, and i want to be as close as possible to my target weight by then.

    Why I Want To Get In Shape


    Hitting my mid-30's, i have also hit a speed-bump. I spend most of my time at my desk, but still eat like a college student, and it can't go on this way! At my last appointment, after my weigh-in, the doctor looked surprised and frankly a little disappointed that i did not have high blood pressure or blood sugar. Next time i go in, i want to be back into my normal BMI range so i never have to hear the whole 'obesity = disease' lecture from her again.

    I want to wear a bikini not a 'control' one piece swimsuit

    My goal is 150lbs, so i have 19 to go. Hopefully i can loose 1-1.5 pounds/week

    I hope I'm not too late!

    Why I Want To Get In Shape

    - I don't want to die from an obesity-related illness.

    - I want to leave my house without the fear that someone will comment on my weight.

    - I want to be the person on the outside that I feel like on the inside. Cliched as that may sound, I know that there is a creative, energetic, outgoing and funny person inside of me who has been buried in fat and wants to break free!
  • down 1 lb so far :)

    Hi guys, I lost one pound since starting the challenge, 4 pounds total since getting serious about this weight loss journey. Anyone know how to get the Lean by Halloween ticker to change? I can't figure it out.
