    GW by Halloween- 21 lb pumpkin
    What Im willing to do to lose the weight? - Get back to working out 4 times a week for at least an hour. Incorporate weight training into my workout instead of just doing cardio. Stick to eating healthy, regardless if there are unhealthy options at hand.

    What will I do differently in this challenge then other challenges tried before?- This is my first group challenge, but one of my many personal challenges. THIS time, I'm going to stay motivated and not let life or laziness sabatoge me.

    SOOOO excited because I just finished my food and exercise diary for today and the little red message said that if all days were like today... I would reach my Halloween goal weight in 5 weeks! (that's just 1 week before Halloween) makes me happy that it could actually be a realistic goal.
