in Introduce Yourself
Calling all moms losing baby weight! I want to make this Halloween about more than bingeing on candy and feeling like crap the day after, and I want to fit into my old jeans as soon as I reasonably can. I am trying to gradually lose my baby weight plus some over several months, but I am using holidays as in-between milestones to work toward. I have some serious work to do between now and Halloween (that's 8 weeks), and I thought it'd be fun to start up a challenge group with two teams competing.

We'll check in every Tuesday starting next week. Here's how it will go:

1 pound lost = 5 points
1 day of doing your workout plan = 1 point
1 day of hitting your calorie goal = 1 point

When you check in, give a summary of your week plus a point total. I'll keep track of both and let everyone know the score. I will leave this invite up for today and tomorrow. Reply if you're in and I'll post the list of the two teams Thursday. I'll be captain of team black. Who wants to head up team orange? I'll keep point totals for both.

    I would love to take part, I have a two month old son and a two year old daughter and I am also trying to lose a bit of weight. Halloween seems like a great goal, I would love to actually be able to dress up as what I want and feel comfortable wearing it :) If no one else decides to go a head and be team oranges captain I would love to be

    Yes! I've been trying to get myself properly motivated and give myself a realistic timeline. I'd love to do some family portraits this fall and I don't want to do them looking like I do. And we have a Halloween party to go to mid-October and I don't want to cringe when I see the photos! My youngest is three (mine is actually more grief weight than baby weight) but I still do want to be a hot mom!

    Sounds great. My daughter is 2 and a half, but i'm still trying to lose the weight from after I stopped breastfeeding. Pregnancy wasn't an issue (gained 13 lbs) after she was born from lowest weight to highest i gained about 38 lbs... hmm

    I'm in! I had my babies 18 months apart. They are now 2y1m and 7m. I am already weighing in lower than what I was before having either of them, but I still have a way to go before I am where I want to be. Game on!
