Halloween ghouls, I mean goals, anyone?

We are just under 2 weeks from Halloween. Anyone want to set a goal of how much you will lose by the 31st? State your starting weight, your current weight, and your goal in the post, K? I will go first... since I have been "stuck" for about 10 days, I'm gonna shoot high... my goal is to lose hmmm? 8? 10? hmmm... I'm going with 11!  My goal is to lose 11 pounds by Halloween! Nothin' "scary" about that!    SW: 246   CW: 196   Goal: 185   ~ Tara

Tara, I am just now coming off my platue,  I was on a hormone replacement pill and I got stuck then I gained a pound now I have lost it and another one so by waqtching how I am losing and to have not had a metabolisim(SP) left at all before surgery.  I am losing 1 to 2 pds a week so that would be like 4 pounds by halloween I excersice 3 to 5 days a week, and of course watch what I eat.  I am on some other meds not as many as when I hadnt had my surgery yet but it does slow my weight loss, ok with all that said. my goal is 5 pds in 2 weeks..  my starting weightfrom surgery 233  I had been as high as 246 and never below 220 in over 10 years. SW 233 CW179 Goal at halloween 174  by Thanksgiving I am pushing for10 to 15 pounds lost, I am trying to be realistic as what my body has been doing, Annrenee I had surgery April 24th 07  I have read so many that have lost more then me already, I have had to deal with not losing 100 pds but I have 100 pds to lose and most others have at least 2 that much. I am losing at a slower rate but that is ok.

You sound like you're doing terrific! don't be discouraged that others may lose more/faster. You're right, I think the more you have to lose, the faster you lose - and definitely the faster you lose 100. When that's all you have to lose, it takes it a little slower. But you're exercising and doing all the right things, so you know it will come off!

I've put your stats down --- we'll check back in Halloween! Have a great day!      ~ Tara

Tara Thank you,   I know alot of people may look at all she had was 100 pds to lose and she couldnt do it,  Nope I couldnt health issues kept me from doing so,  Since surgery I DO NOT HAVE    Diabetes or sleep apena and I am down some medications i was on,  I do not regreat the surgery at all,  thanks for the encouraging words. Annrenee

Hi Tara. Great post idea. Wow- 11 pound in two weeks - I remember those days! You can do it.  I am not really losing anymore but I have started a jogging program recently so hopefully I will lose a couple. So my goal for two weeks is 3 pounds. Hopefully I can do that. Hold me to it! Make sure you post in two weeks for us to follow up. Maybe we can do this regularly - make mini goals. I know it would help me be more accountable. SW: 310 CW: 159 2 week goal: 156 

I wish I could take the credit for the idea --- I actually saw something similar being done on the main board. but since I don't know any of them, and I'm starting to get to know you all, I thought it would be a little more fun to do within our own area - where we really cheer one another on! I'm excited for you to have started a jogging program. I can't remember the last time I was able to job. I should add that to my "goals" list - ha ha. You have really done fantastic. You inspire me! So, I have you down. we will report back in on Halloween, and I will share how we all did. Thanks for taking part! Have an awesome, jogging day!     ~ Tara

Ok here goes. Weight loss is really starting to slow but I will set a goal to lose 3-5 lbs by 10-31 Ya'll wish we luck!! SW : 417 CW : 227 Goal for two weeks: 224 - 222

Hey Tara! I'll join in the fun!  SW: 297    CW:  233   Goal:  222.   I'll match your eleven!  Let's roll, baby girl! Big smile! Freddie

Freddie ~  I'm so glad you joined in... and your reaching high with me! Think we can do it? I do! I'm getting ready to go walking right now!! John's home and can stay with the boys. They usually ride their bikes while I walk and we all get exercise, but today they are going to stay in w/ John. Well, I've got you down! By the way, I don't know the lady you invited to join in, and she probably doesn't know me - you may need to tell her how to find this post. (?) Just a thought... Let's go, Girl!   ~ Tara
