    The puns in this post are scary... let 'em RIP, would ya?

    Okay, while I wasn't a very active participant in the LDC (and didn't make my goal), I'll try again with Halloween. But my goal will be more realistic. Apple and I decided we are shooting for 5 pounds every 2 months from now on. Reasonable and attainable, right? So, will note my starting point on Monday, but please put me down for 5 pounds.

    Thanks!

      Hello, Miss Julie

      I am here to officially enter the challenge. I want to look BOO-tiful by Halloween.

      My pledge is 5 pounds. I know it doesn't sound like much, but as you know - the going gets slower toward the end. The LDC was 8 weeks long, and I barely made my pledge of 8 pounds. This challenge is a few days over 8 weeks, and I think 5 pounds will be a challenge for me. I'm ready!

      The great news is that those of us in the LDC can use our final measurements and pics from that challenge as our starting points for this challenge. How easy is that? Yay!

      LET'S GO!


      Watch us participate in the Veggie Challenge!

        Hey there, i'm in, I'm using my after LDC pics, and they are in the LDC challenge, so do i have to post them here also?
        I pledge 4 pounds, cuz that's about what my goal will be anyway, so let's see if I can try to not get loose with my eating habits in the next few months.
        I can't decide if my goal should be 145, or 140, we will see when i get closer...up the rungs I go now.... Have a good one.

          Somebody is a school teacher! Very clever introduction with the plays on words Julie! I think we should all wear halloween costumes for our last pic! lol!
          okay... so I lost 12-13 lbs... on LDC... up again 2-3 lbs... didn't weigh... TOM's lurking... hoping he'll show his ugly face before Monday... so... let's say I lost 10 lbs... met the goal... am going to make the same goal this time... 10lbs! I really hope that's not unrealistic! I don't think so as long as I remain obsessive compulsive about exersize and food choices... Going to start doing slim in 6 and continue with the C25k. That should push my metebolism along... so I will post pics tomorrow or Monday for LDC and this...as well as measurements and start wt.
          Thanks for doing this Julie! You're the best!

            I'm setting a goal of 4 pounds, or to make it to 170. Technically I made it down to 174 for LDC, but I'm up a couple pounds (even though I'm smaller). I will have a definite number for you all tomorrow.

                Great Idea! Halloween is my favorite holiday. I just love this time of year, the cooler weather, that going back to school feel in the air and watching the leaves change color. Count me in, ok 2 months away, I am going to shoot for 7 lbs which would bring me down to 137. I will have my pics and stats posted tomorrow! Any plans for Halloween? Anyone dressing up?

                  I want to join the challenge! I am planning on going to Cedar Point the weekend of October 20th, and I badly want to be able to fit on The Millenium Force! I went with my family in July and could ride every other roller coaster, but not that one! So this is a good motivator for me I would like to lose 10lbs from whatever I weigh at my weigh in tomorrow. I will also take pics and measurements tomorrow!

                        I'm in, too! I don't have quite as much time to work out now the kids are in school--15 was my goal last time, but I only have 19 to go now. 10 seems too much, 5 not enough challenge--OK, put me down for 7 pounds--I'll post stats and pics tomorrow.

                        Thanks for the challenge to keep me motivated!
