Halloween will be here in about 5 1/2 short months and I for once want to look AMAZING in a costume. Who wants to join me in a challenge to get fit(HAWT) by Halloween? I have a pic that I would like to use as a before and I will take my "after" in my costume on October 31st. Join Me!

KariOrtiz suggested that we add a challenge to keep us on track. My challenge would be to drink water everyday, consume smaller portions, and lose about 5-7lbs a month.

Highest Weight: 252
Start Weight: 225
Current Weight: 224
This Challenge Goal Weight: 194
Ultimate Goal Weight: 160

    I'm starting today (well, actually I started Thursday) we could work together for a challenge or do individual challenges. I wish to lose 30lbs by October 31st myself. I'm working on smaller portions for food, and exercising at least 30-60min EVERYDAY. I did pretty good last week. We'll have to put our heads together for the small goals because we all have different fitness levels/needs. I'm looking about about 5lbs loss a month.

    Ok.. we should set up a weigh in day perhaps.. maybe weekly challenges such as smaller portions, drinking more water, burning a certain amount of calories during a week through exercise.. idk lol.. I like your challenge because its almost 6 months long!! Maybe we should post our current weight, our start weight here on mfp, our highest weight, our goal weight and precise goal weight for this particular challenge... I'll start..

    Highest Weight: 229
    Start Weight: 220
    Current Weight: 202.8
    This Challenge Goal Weight: 170
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 140

    Exactly why I chose Halloween. Six months is neither a fast, or super long challenge. It's enough to lose a good amount of weight in a good amount of time. I like your idea and will add it to the intro.

    OMG, I want to be Wonderwoman as well. And NOT the Plus Size version either (which is hideous lol) so I will get in that costume!

    I LOVE this idea for a challenge... I've never got to wear a sexy halloween costume, even as a teenager.. always have been self concious on how I looked. I would love to wear a sexy costume.. lol.. let's make this challenge a success, right!!

    This sounds like a really fun goal. And there are sooo many costumes to choose from. I am going to do some browsing.

    If I could lose 30lbs by Halloween I would be at my goal weight and my heart would thank me.

    My mini challenges will be to spend more time outdoors, work up to being able to exercise 45 min straight - six days per week and lift 3 times per week.

    I always wear some sort of sexy costume for Halloween, but I've also always got on some spanx or something and I'm desperately trying to cover something up. This year, I'm gonna slut it up lol

    Highest weight: 170
    Start weight: 168
    Current weight: 148
    Challenge goal weight: 130
    Ultimate goal weight: 125

    Btw-- I'm 5'3" :)

    Honestly, 125-130 I'm not too worried about the exact number when I get down there, as long as I'm looking good and my body fat % is low, but let me tell you. If I'm as small as I hope to be, I'm gonna be ridiculous! I've always wanted to do Wonder Woman as well, but never thought I could rock the booty shorts...this year, I WANT TO ROCK BOOTY SHORTS!

I said that out loud w "I'm going to look like a total slut for Halloween and I'm going to love every minute of it!" WonderSlut! Of course then I looked around and made sure my husband had left for work lol.

    Haha a couple years ago my boobs were super out for my costume and my bf was like "wow, you've kinda got a lot of boobs showing" and my response was "I get to be slutty on Halloween, it's in the rules of being a girl!" He has come to terms with it lol

    Count me in! It's been a few years since I've been able to wear a "sexy" costume. And around that time I'll hopefully be near my goal weight, so I am SO in!

    Starting weight: 225
    Current Weight: 216
    Goal Weight: 150

    If I stay on track, hopefully be around 166 if not more :) by Halloween

    I'll join! Halloween is one of my fav holidays and we are planning a big party (with a haunted house) this year. I want to be a pin-up girl, so I definately need to lose more before then.

    Starting weight: 205
    Current weight: 192-193 (my body hasn't decided which one it likes better yet lol)
    Halloween goal: 160
    Ultimate Goal: 145-150

    If I can do this, then I will only be 10lbs away from goal weight by Halloween!

    Okay, so just for a little motivation from the start. I'm going to post the exact costume that I plan to squeeze into by Halloween. I'm going to go with flesh colored stockings and Go-Go boots instead of the garter. I doubt DH will even let me out of the house in that and I'll wear booty shorts underneath just in case it gets a little "breezy" ;) Let's see some pics ladies!

    Aww. You're welcome Irish! To be honest, I've been on here for months going up and down with the weightloss and I'm finally going to put my foot down and go after what I want so you've saved me too. Let's do it girl!

    I went through the same thing with my then boyfriend. I went as a catholic school girl without him and he freaked when he saw pics later. I mean, it wasn't THAT slutty. And I say the same thing, Halloween is really the only holiday where it's perfectly okay for a girl to dress like a slut :)

    I think having a better body for halloween has been my goal for the past 10 years. Never where I want to be! I'm in to make this year different. Mine is less about weight loss and more about toning up what I have already accomplished. Keeping myself on track with my workouts. :)

    Okay, so far, today I've drank about 16OZ of water and walked about 4 miles this morning with my husband. I also meet up at 2pm with a friend to walk on the trails with so I will be meeting up with her as well for about 60-90 minutes. It's raining here so I'm going to hit up the gym doing the treadmill for 30 min and the elliptical for 30. I really want to lose some inches so tonight I want to do some Jillian Michaels. I've only done up to 7 days of the Shred and I want to push myself further and do the whole 30. That should give be a -7lbs jump start for the next 4 weeks.

    A few of you may think I'm doing too much but the walking is only about 3.5mph brisk pace and will be spread out. I'll be doing the 30DS later tonight before I go to bed. It's a great ending to the day as I like to take a cool shower afterwards and fall the heck out. My eating contains mainly turkey, fish, chicken and lots of veggies. Today I had turkey sausage links and egg whites. I don't like to compromise too much flavor and I do occasionally eat fast food but I make sure it's not constant and I work out harder to keep it at bay. I don't wish to binge so I give myself what I want in moderation.

    My halloween costume idea is based on the famous WW2 kiss in times square photo. My husband will be the sailor and I will be the nurse. Although it is not a really revealing outfit, it is all white and that is a little daunting to me.

    Here is the pic so you know what I am talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Legendary_kiss_V–J_day_in_Times_Square_Alfred_Eisenstaedt.jpg
