Five pounds by Halloween challenge

Re: Five pounds by Halloween challenge

Thanks Hoosiermommy, It 's so crazy the way my mind works, while I was eating all the wrong foods, I kept thinking soon I'll go on strict Atkins and lose the weight. Of course I never threw in the part that it takes longer to lose than gain.
So now I will just have to hang tough! Hugs Pru

Re: Five pounds by Halloween challenge

Hi Pru,

I completely understand the need to see some type of results... I should not have peeked at the scale until day 14 but I was getting anxious and looked at day 7... I wish I could do the challenge but my 14th day is 10/11, only 3 days after is starts... I did not measure the 1rst time around and I think if I had, I would not have gotten discouraged and quit... so make sure to measure... and post- good or bad...we are here to support you!

Had my last weigh-in for 2 weeks this morning: I've lost .5 pounds towards the goal. At this rate I won't make 5 by halloween, so it's time to buckle down I think! Not weighing for two more weeks though, that'll make it hard! :P

You can do it, knickknack, you know the drill...loved what you said about the bloating, it's kinda like a sign of "filling up" so a whooshie is right around the corner...very cool, never thought about it like that.

Chin up Knicky....all we can do is stay focused and hit all our objectives, that's so positive, because it's the lifestyle that leads to weightloss.

Hi Everyone,

Hope all is well... so I started this at 214...but I was on Induction and on day 14 I was 206... so that would already be 8 lbs... but I do not think that is fair... so I am going to count for 5 more lbs. from yesterday 10/11 at 206 and will work to lose 5 b4 halloween! Only 4 more to go because I have lost one...

How is everyone else doing? Or are you all in the no-weigh challenge???

Re: Five pounds by Halloween challenge

guess I should start from here too, since I have been on induction and lost 10lbs super fast, which is kinda unfair since I just joined the challenge like two days ago.... although I still have 9 days of induction left but I'll go for another 5lbs by halloween.

Re: Five pounds by Halloween challenge

Heee - I have to grin at this thread - Just seeing it for the 1st time, if this is the "official" Halloween challenge, then what about the one in Challenges Trick NO Treat Lose 10lb by Halloween challenge, still going on since Sept.?


Is it OK to join this if one's prognosis in the other challenge is looking pretty dismal? (At 180, down only 2 with still 8 to go in there, I've a better chance of sucess here! LOL)
