    Hi everyone! I dont post very often in fact almost never, its hard for me because I really dont know what to say. So here I go. I am so happy to be part of this weight loss family...I kinda found MFP by chance. and now I am totally hooked. I am 11 lbs shy of my very 1st mini goal. I know its not much but believe me it is a BIG deal for me.

    I can't believe we are half way through the challenge. More importantly...I can't believe I've made it this far! I tried challenges in the past and quit after week 1. Week 1 of this I posted a gain...and did I quit? No...I got mad and tried harder. Now, to top it off, I started a challenge that goes through New Year's. I am loving the new me. I have 8 pounds to go in the next 3 weeks to meet my goal and I'm so hoping to make it. I am really pushing myself. Thank you so much for creating this Elana! You have given more drive and inspiration than I knew I could possibly have. I am so excited that we're in the 2nd half of our Costume Changers! I'm so happy to be doing this challenge with so many great people!!!

    Thanks again Elana!!!

    I have to agree :-) this group and the lovely people in it have been fab at keeping me motivated and on track. Lost another lb on the scale this morning, I am now the lowest weight I have been for over 5 years! So thank you everyone, especially Elana for setting it up. Hope u make another one when this is finished ;-)

    I think you're doing great. Down 28 pounds so far is quite an accomplishment! Great job!

    Thanks for the support gkeith1971! And who knew I would love to walk, funny thing is I hate walking to pick up my kids from school. Maybe because its smack in the afternoon when the sun is still out..but I am up to 2.5 miles walking in the evening and about 1mile in the mornings after my Curves workout(when I started I couldnt even walk a mile a day!) not bad for 6weeks.

    I have put my songs on my iPhone and I love putting on my music and walking. I forget everything else going on and get lost to the beat. I never ever thought that I would be the person who goes for a long walk at lunchtime and enjoys it and pushes herself harder and harder! You are doing great on your walking! I'm not that far yet!!!

    While watching Biggest Loser last night I rode 22 miles. Thats a record for me! So happy!
    Today I did Jillian kettlebell shred and Zumba.

    I'm rockin this challenge but the scale isn't being as friendly as I would like it to be.

    Doing well here.

    I hit my goal today!!! Now, to up my milage a bit.
    I will probably have to add a few bike days in there to get it, but I will get it done!

    I came to Win! (Favorite workout song right now.)

    At my current pace, I need to log 2.5 miles every day to finish up and take Halloween off.

    I'm doing great!!

    The weight wasn't coming off during the first 2 weeks... but now I've had a big drop, and I'm finally back to the 130's!! Hoping to meet my goal-- only 4.4 pounds to go!! :)

    Has everyone figured out their Halloween costume? I haven't dressed up for Halloween since I was a teenager and I'm struggling to think of something. Every year the staff in my office all dress up and we have a potluck party, I have always conveniently taken the day off. But if I have a costume I might just participate this year.

    If you have any suggestions for a costume that is work appropriate, let me know.

    TIA for your suggestions!

    I dressed up as spaghetti last year and won most original at work...it was pretty funny. I folded a plastic tablecloth in half and made a hole in the middle to put my head through and wear it like a poncho. Then I got one of those plastic plates and glued yarn in it like if it was spaghetti got a few white styrofoam balls and painted it them with poster paint like a reddish brown color like if they were meatballs.. glued a plastic fork in it and them stapled the whole plate smack in the middle of the plastic tablecloth, around my stomach area. I got a pasta drainer from home threaded some yarn into it like spaghetti hair on put it on my head....
