Halloween Weight loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

I am in too… I am not one to pass up on a good challenge…

I have been going back and forth with a definite goal weight for myself, especially since I am only 3.8lbs to my initial goal/goal dr set for me… So I am going to shoot for a couple more than that.

I am gonna TRY for 8lbs before Halloween!!

Starting Weight: 167.8lbs

Halloween Goal Weight: 160 lbs

Lbs lost: ---

Lbs to go: 7.8lbs

I have a question. When you join these challenges, what do you do differently? I feel like I am doing everything I am supposed to, and I will either lose something by Halloween or not, but it's not in my control.

Sorry if I sound stupid, but I very much want to join a challenge of some sort. I recently hurt my back and am hobbling even to walk so I can't join a mini fitness challenge, and these seem to be the only other ones...but I don't know what to do to be successful at it?

I don't think you have to do anything differently... it's just something that many of us use to try to get closer to our goal weight (motivation). It makes it a little fun and knowing we are all supporting each other can't hurt either.

Good Luck!

I am so in !

Halloween is the day I get in the car and drive 9 hours to TJ Mx. I will be checking in at the Marriott in TJ on Halloween eve, so this is purrrfect!

Starting weight today: 219

Halloween goal: 200

As to gamer girls question of what we do differently... When we have accountability and commoradery in a goal setting, we excel because someone else is watching and caring. It's much easier to cheat, delay, procrastinate and dismiss when it's just us looking. A challenge like this makes it fun and we have the accountability factor! Should we check in weekly, every Friday?! Great post I like it.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
