30 lbs by Halloween!

I need to lose approximately 30 pounds by Halloween.

Would anyone care to join me?

Weigh-ins will be on Saturdays, to keep us motivated through the weekend! :)

LET'S DO IT!

Halloween is my all time favorite holiday ever, so I would love to join you!

I like the weigh ins on Saturday too.   I have my own group with Friday weigh ins, and another with the weigh ins on Tuesday.  Weekends mess with me, so this will rock!

your tat is cool too  ( ;

what are you doing to reach your goals?  I am a fitness nut.   (I never would have dreamed of saying that a year ago!!!!)

I'm in!!!  This is my first time joining a weigh in group so who knows.

My current stats..

Height 5'9"

GW by halloween 169

oh dang i made a little ticker in my profile a week ago that was exactly for this... 30lbs by halloween. genius.

age: 20
height: 5'9 7/8" 5'10"
cw: 180 (BMI: 25.8)
hallow-gw: 150 (BMI: 21.5)

i'm guessing that one of the motivations for this group is to wear a sweet halloween costume? well, what do you want to be for halloween? i want to be batgirl or a pirate hooker. i dream big.

Hey i would love to be in! Not only would it be bad ass to be able to get a super hot halloween costume but i also have a wedding that i am in in November that i need to look great for!

Age: 23 Height 5'4 Start-159 Current-152 Goal- 125

The thought of me actually loosing 30 pounds by October seems like a long shot but i am absolutely going to try!

Hey what is everyone doing to reach their goals? I am trying to stick to a 1250 calorie diet (with one cheat day) and i rotate running and working out with a fitness ball at least 5 times a week.

I'd like to join but OMG is that ever overwhelming!

5'7" 175

goal: 120

I am in!!  Gives me something else to look forward to.

Age: 25

Height: 5'9"

CW: 200

Goal: 170 (haven't seen that in almost 2 years)

I'm in! I love halloween. It's by far my favorite holiday and I'd LOVE to fit into a super sexy costume by then!!

 

Age: 21

Height: 5'6"

CW: 223

Goal: 193 I reckon. (That is 30 pounds, right? I'm not so good at math!!)

 

I really want to be something super sexy for halloween. I've been a witch a couple of times but I've been fat so it didn't look too great. Maybe one of those football player costumes or something? I've got the boobs, shouldn't be too hard.

I'm in.

Age: 25

Height: 5'6"

CW: 212

Goal: 182

COUNT ME IN!!!!!

I am 5'3 at 200 pounds (last weighed July 8/yesterday).  That means I should be 170 by Halloween! This is a cool thing! I believe we can all do it.  This means losing atleast 1.9 (almost 2) pounds each week.  Good luck all! Lets keep trying to encouage one another!

However I will weigh on Tuesdays because that is what I have set up and I am going to keep that so I will be posting a different time when I weigh hope this is satisfactory!

Anybody have tips on what they will be doing to reach their goals? Please pass it my way!

I've been running 3-5 miles daily for 10 months or so, just added Bowflex and biking to my regimen and try to shoot for 1300 cals (a little more according to workouts)  oh and lots of water and fresh foods!!!

my sweet Halloween costume, you ask???   I am a teacher and our high school's mascot is red Devils, so I think I might become a sexy devil girl!!!!  I have the tail and horns and bowtie already, just need a red leotard and tights.  woo -- talk about motivation!!!!  but I will have a reason to get a kickass pair of hot red heels then!!!!

I'm in! I love Halloween and it would ROCK to drop that last 30 pounds by then!

Stats:

• age 33
• 5'3 (and a half)
• Currently 170
• I try to get in about 1250 - 1350 a day. I work out 5 days a week via elliptical machine (at least an hour each of those days), and do weights on Tues & Thurs.

Ooooooh yeah!

I'm 22 years old, 5'5 and 170 lbs!!!

I am actually scheduled for a breast reduction surgery for October 7th (they are.....enormous....Size 32 I)...and I've been struggling with a goal to lose 40 pounds in time for my surgery. I started working out in Febuary of this year.....fell off the wagon.... then started up again in April...... ended up moving to another apartment in May and things got crazy (so I totally gave up on the gym) so as soon as June hit I thought, "ok, Ive got about 17 weeks here to lose 40 pounds..."

Ive been going to gym almost everyday, completely changed my eating habits and.....as frustraiting as it is, havent seemed to lose anything! Not even inches!! But the surgery is booked and I just gotta do this!!

Unfortunately I probably wont be able to dress up all nice and go out for Halloween this year due to recovering from the operation, but hell Im gonna have nice, smaller boobies for next Halloween, especially if I can drop the weight, AND maintain it!!

Cmon guys! We can do it!

tinka - i'm very impressed with your courage to get a breast reduction. i'm in the FF to G range, and I'd love to have mine taken down and lifted up, but i don't have the courage. i've got all the back problems that go along with having big boobs, and my insurance would probably even pay for it, i just cant convince myself to do it.

If you would be willing to contribute some of that chest size to my (never had a significant sized rack) fund. I would be willing to provide as much moral support that ya need. Heheh..oh heck I'm there to give ya the support whether or not I magically get a new rack or not (I'll just buy a bigger pair later ^_~).

I'm on the hook to be one of the biggest cheerleaders!

99 pounds down 30 to go!

CIAO for now! 

yourfavoriteblonde:

Well thank you! I will tell you it did take a lot. I know this is something I probably should have taken care of back in High school when they were around DD. For the longest time I was wearing a 36 DD bra and then I went and got fitted (which was embarrassing as it is since you stand there with a complete stranger in your bra and pants...exposed....belly fat and all *sigh*) but anyway, I later learned I was actually a size 32 E..... over the course of 2007 (very very bad year for me...long story lol) I gained 30 lbs...IN ONE YEAR!! Ive NEVER had kids and Im only 22.......

So with that said, since boobs are mainly fat tissue OF course a crap load went to my chest..... and its weird most women say when they are losing weight their breasts are the first thing that goes... That is the complete opposite for me!

So thats why I thought, ok even with weight loss, lets see how much breast tissue I can lose, and even the surgeon said it wont be much.....So basically its a last resort, and the indents in my shoulders from my bra straps and the perma-hunch I have from the weight is enough already!

I was so nervous at first but I learned of people I knew around me who had it done and they were my age.

Going to see the surgeon was...awkward to say the least, but I am, SO excited...not for the recovery but to make a life change. And hell, having smaller boobs will be more motivating to work out harder. They are a real drag I find lol.

The surgeon said I was a perfect canidate for the prodecure and that the size could be corrected. The curvature of my spine however, could not. Either way, we have Alberta Health Care (in the province I live in, in Canada) and so it will be 100% covered.

I say if your not happy with them, go for it! And how it all worked out for me? Seriously, I heard stories of people waiting up to 2 years to see a surgeon and then another 12 months to get it done... I called early Feb of this year and they said they had no openings...try back in a few weeks... I tried back in a few weeks and the same lady I talked to before said "Great news there was a cancellation!" and my consultation was for Feb 22. After the surgeon saw me he sent me to his bookings lady and she said "ok, so the earliest I can get you in is May 20th" I almost fainted!! hahaha I said "woah woah easy now..Im gonna have to think about this here, when do you need to know by?" she said the following monday (which was like 3 days later, I basically had the weekend to ponder it and decide)

I called back and told her "how bout Oct 7th?" she said sure.Its booked...and I got really nervous knowing it was booked.....

 

Thats when the clock started ticking-GOTTA LOSE WEIGHT ASAP and since it seems like Ive wasted like 3 months...I just...gotta buckle down here.

Serisouly? I would look into it! Even consult with a surgeon. You can always change your mind later!!

Im in! I wouild love to shed some pounds by November...I might be visitng Mexico and would to not have to wear a cover up 24/7!! I dont think I have 30lbs to lose...well maybe I do, but Im setting my goal a bit higher and then Im gonna see how I feel "in my skin" when I get there!  Honestly, I dont think my b00bs would allow me to weigh 115 anymore!!!

Age:29

Height: 5'2"

GW:130 (mini goal) and to lose 1-1.5lbs per week!...overall goal is 124
