FINAL ROLL CALL for Halloween round...
Halloween challenge start: 232
Current weight: 203, goal met and exceeded by 12 pounds!
Halloween goal: 215
Lost 29 pounds this challenge
New year's goal: 175
And no Halloween candy for me, but my friends did have some hors d'oerves while we greeted the trick-or-treaters (as pirates), so I had some shrimp, a mushroom stuffed with sausage, and a couple of small triscuit crackers with some cream cheese dip.

I am almost at my Halloween goal!!! I am 170.6 and my goal was 170.... so I am calling it goal!! LOL. I made the first goal and adjusted it so it was still a challenge, so I did well.
So my New Years goal is 160 and I think this will be a challenge because I am starting to slow some in my losses. And I hope that the rheumatologist doesnt put me on something that makes me gain. From what I am reading up on.
As far as candy goes I have only had a few peices of SF Hard Candies. Thought long and hard about a mini cinnamon donut yesterday but I quickly got my beef stew ready for dinner and ate that first and was too full to have one. Temptation resisted.

167 again yesterday, so missed my goal AGAIN!
Goal is 155 - I'm good with anything between 153 and 157.
I am so screwed up - yesterday, we had a potluck at work - started the day with a chocolate chip cookie . The day progressed with various "treats", but I tried hard to be good. No candy at all, but some things I shouldn't have had. So then, my boyfriend calls, being admitted into the hospital... Spent the next 10 hours running back and forth between the hospital and home, so I could go trick-or-treating with the nephews (tradition) - and forgot to eat. Got sick... Did pretty much the same thing today, less the trick-or-treating. I have to remember to eat every four-six hours, or my blood sugar drops and NO ONE around me is happy - least of all, me.
The only good thing is that once I get back on track, the weight usually drops quickly... whenever I spend a day or two on a bad track.
