The Very Scary Halloween Challenge



Recommended Posts

Personal Goal ~Get back to writing every day (this month: revise last novel). I did not do well with this one. I'm re-visiting it next month!

Curiosity has gotten the better of me, what kind of novel is it? Since you say your last novel, I assume that you have previous novels. Any published? Any available online?

WOOHOO! I wanted to lose 10 pounds this month, and I've lost 12 in the last two weeks, so that's a total of 16 for the month of October! I wanted to lose 20 by the end of the year, and I think I'm going to get there!

Hi, Larry! No published novels yet, though I have an agent. I write urban fantasy, primarily (think "True Blood"-type stuff) though I'm currently working on a young adult postapocalyptic novel. I'm a college English professor, so most of my published work is academic. Keep your fingers crossed for me on the novels. :D

I made my weight goal!!!! I had a goal of 195 set and weighed in at 194.5. It was amazing though because most of the loss occurred in the last week of the challenge. I also have done pretty well on the goal of doing at least 45 minutes on the ellyptical 6 days a week. I did miss that a few days when i was traveling for work, but i have to say I have been very faithful on sticking with it when I could get to the gym and I have been pumping up the level. I did not meet my goal of running 2 miles without stopping but I will work on it this month.

Thanks for inviting me to the challenge!!

I weighed in @ 254.2, did not meet my goal weight. I did excellent on my exerise goals this month, however I could have used some improvement on dietary (more fruits and vegetables, less carbs). And my personal goal I can't even remember what it was so I definately know I did not work on that. October was a struggle for me. I pray November "Turkey Challenge" will be better.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
