    And now I will have to adjust my goal. I just found out I’m pregnant and will no longer be eating at a deficit. I’ll continue tracking just to be sure I’m eating the right amounts, though. Good luck to everyone throughout the remainder of the challenge!

    I am just starting with "My Fitness". I would love to get some help from everyone as I have been this weight for years and really would like to lose my excess. I hear there is a Halloween Challenge. I would love to be part of that challenge even though I am pretty late in starting.

    My starting weight is 236 (on July 1st) and would love to be under 200 lbs. by Halloween. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I had my 67th birthday in May. (I will tell you, I am sure not ready to be this old....lol). I hope to hear from someone that may want to help me with some insight on how all this works.

    I'm a late joiner but I'd like to join for some long term accountability. I used to track religiously but haven't since I was pregnant with my 3rd child.

    I never got back to my pre pregnancy weight this time but I currently weigh a few pounds more than when I delivered over 3 years ago. I dropped 20lbs initially but gained it back. My son has some delays which also affects his sleep and eating. I am an emotional eater and I over eat when tired. I got told in September that I need to lose weight due to high cholesterol and I've gained over 5lbs.

    I don't have a weight goal for the challenge but I do have a behavior goal.
    1. Track again even if it is terrible.
    2. 5+ servings of fruit and veggies
    3. Over 60g protein a day.
    4. Exercise 3x a week for over 30 minutes

    I think all those are reasonable and will be positive on my health.

    My stats at age 41 @5'3
    SW 194 lbs

    Ultimate goal is around 140 lbs.

    I was previously 140 (size 6) and that was maintainable. I have been 130 but I found that stricker than I want to be.

    Argh. I stopped logging for the summer and flamed out.

    SW 194 lbs
    CW 191.8 lbs

    My goal for September is more consistent healthy eating and to exercise for 30 minutes 5 days a week. My yoga class also starts up again so that will be good for me.

    8 more lbs to go before Halloween! Hopefully I make it, but if I don't that's ok. Just know I made some progress is all that matters.
