    Me too can I sign up? I do a lot of what you guys are already doing and would love to tag along with you guys. I am planning a vacation home to see family on Halloween so being under 200 before the holiday is super important to me!

    Any room left? If so I'd love to join !!! I'll re-weigh on the 19th to see what my 5% will be for sure!

    Love the name!!!!

    I just recently learned how to use the message boards, haha, and don't yet know how to "friend" people, but anyone in the group go ahead and add me !!

    I think it's great to have a leader to hold us accountable!

    One more thing, I don't have a pedometer, any other suggestions on how to track the distance, or should I look for one?

    PUMPED !!!!!!

    Oh no, am I too late?? :(

    If you could let me in, I'd be so happy... I'm a total noob to this site and I've been lookng for a challenge!! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! Haha :)

    My CW is 144... for Halloween, a 5% loss would put me at 136.8 lbs. I totally think I can do that!! :)

    My current challenge ends on October 7, so this is great to help keep me motivated until the end of October! Then I suppose I will have to find another challenge... The cycle continues!

    Anyway, here are my stats:

    current weight: 145.8
    goal weight for challenge (less than 5%, but I have less than 5% to lose): 140.0

    I am definitely up for this....I am new so what better way to get started....5% for me would be 8.5 lbs going from 171 to 162.5 which is only 5lbs shy of my goal weight!

    CW:171
    GW for challenge 162.5
    UGW:158

    I'd like to join if there is still room!
    5% of my current weight would be 10.6 lbs so I'm going to round it up to 11lbs.

    Definitely with VeganGal84 - I'm in her group as well and would like to keep up after that one ends!

    Was going to wait for the 19th to post a SW but I guess I'll do it now to follow the trend (and make it easier for elana1987)

    SW: 132
    GW (a bit less than 5% so I'll use it): 125

    HI,

    I think I'd like to try this too currently doing another challenge but I can add one more plus tis one is longer! I currently weigh 135.5 so 5% would be 6.75, I will be happy with 5-7 lbs since I'm losing slower now that Im close to my ideal weight, and I can try my hardest to do 100 miles which I think is about 16.5-17 miles per week, currently I'm doing about 12-15 miles per week jogging, can that include biking if so piece of cake!!!

    For all who are interested in adding the challenge banner to their signatures (like in mine) I will attempt to explain this clearly.

    Here is the URL :

    mAaAy.jpg

    Go to your signature page and paste that to it. Then change the IMG to lowercase img.

    Then space it so you skip a line between the IMG part and the actual URL. If I type it out here, it will post the picture so I'll have to substitute xxx for img but otherwise it should look like this:

    [xxx]

    http://i.imgur.com/mAaAy.jpg

    [/xxx]

    Feel free to post with any questions and I'll try to help!
