Hi!
Thanks for your interest in this group. Let's hope it's a motivational tool we can all benefit from.
My starting weight is 236.8 and I plan on being 3lbs. down next week.
Aside from trying to make my daily calorie target, I workout out about 5d/week doing P90X 2-3x/week, personal training 2x/week and C25K 3x/week.
How are you working toward your goal?

I'm in! My starting weight is 218.2 and I would like to be down to 206 (a total of 12.2lbs for a total of approx. 1.5 a week) by Halloween. My goal is to do cardio for 20mins before work and about 1hr after work. Good luck everyone!!!
What day is our weekly weigh in?0 -
I'm in! Things are going pretty slow for me so hopefully this challenge will give me the push I need.
Current weight (9/5/2011): 192.0
Goal weight (10/31/2011): 180.0
Mini goals: some form of exercise everyday. I have a problem with exercising.
Thanks for the challenge!!!0 -
Hi everyone! my start weight is 181. Considering I was ordered not to excercise by my orthopedic surgeon(herniated disc's) I'm going to go with the goal weight of 175 by Halloween. I will focus on nutrition and my water intake. I'm not sedentary, I keep busy with the house and of course my kids, but without any structured excercise I don't think I'll lose any more than that. With all that said, I'm ready and motivated to see the 70's, as I haven't been there since before I was pregnant with my oldest son 17yrs ago!! 5 kids later I'm determined more than ever!!!!! LET"S GO! please feel free to add me :-)0

Hi,
I'm up for it! I have lost 21 pounds since starting, but I'm noticing things are starting to slow down, this will be a great challenge!
Current weight (9/5/2011) 230 lbs
Goal weight (10/31/2011) 214 lbs
I try to do some form of exercise 6 days a week. Walking is my best form of cardio, I logged 45 miles for the month of August. I do the Wii Zumba two days a week and just started some strength training with kettlebells.0 -
I'd love to join! I'm in another challenge for the new year, but a shorter term goal may help me! I started out at 190, and have only lost 2lbs in my month here. It's very frustrating. I've had a few bad days, these last few, as everyone in my family is sick, but I'm getting back on track today!
CW - 188
GW - 175 (by halloween)
Final GW - 160-165ish0 -

I'm a newbie and still trying to figure it all out. I do a fitness bootcamp 4-5 times a week, with some random walking, kayaking or leisure swimming on the weekends. I started about 3 weeks ago and have already lost 2.6 lbs.
current weight: 220
goal by halloween: 210 ~1.25lbs/week0 -
I'm at about 228 {maybe less) and I hope to lose at least 12 by Halloween to get to 216.
As of two weeks ago, I workout 5 times a week, at least, for 30 minutes, and strength training every other day for 25 minutes.0 -
bump for those who can't find us......Welcome !!
BTW, I just noticed there's already a Hot for Halloween challenge. Maybe we should call ourselves "Hotter for Halloween", LOL...next Monday I'll post under "Hotter for Halloween".0 -

:happy: :happy: 223 as of this morning, the same weight I was when I started Nutrisystem 2 years ago. I lost over 40 pounds in 5 months but put it all back on plus 9 in the six months following my father's death in 2010. I can tell my metabolism has slowed down with years of yo-yo dieting. I've been on this program since August 8th and dropped only 9 pounds. Typically I would lose 15 pounds the first month of a new program...but not this time.
My goals for the next few weeks are: drink 64 ozs of water per day, and do Zumba 3x per week and 1/2 hour on the gazelle 3x per week. And stay within weekly caloric totals 1200 x 7. This week I will have a challenge as we're having a party at Olive Garden and I'm going to eat. But I've already looked up the nutritional info on what I will order and I will stick with it. I had no idea their salad with dressing was so loaded with calories!
Sorry for the ramble. Thanks for allowing me to share. I look forward to getting to know each of you as we support each other on this grand journey!
Have a great week!!!0 -
