Default Halloween Challenge 2008!

Hello all!

Halloween is just around the corner, and I know some of you have to love this creepy crawly holiday as much as I do! Wouldn't it be fun to dress up and celebrate as a slimmer, healthier, happier you? Pick a goal (or goals!) you want to achieve by Halloween whether it's losing a certain amount of weight, drinking water, exercising, sticking to your diet plan, etc. etc.



The rules:
- Sign up here to join the challenge.
- Tell us the goals you ARE going to achieve by this Halloween.
- Check in at least once a week to share your progress and support other challenge members.
- And a must, on Halloween make sure to take a picture of the brand new you all dressed up to share with us afterwards!

You can use this image link to add the Halloween Challenge graphic to your signature:

Good luck everyone!

The goals I'd like to reach by Halloween:

Stick to my diet plan.
Drink a LOT more water than I do now!
Do something active every day.
Fit into a dress I hope to wear as part of my costume (or better yet, have it be too big!)
Feel confident and happy and ready to have fun on Halloween!

Halloween! !!! My all-time fav holiday! (ok ... no candy corn this year) ... a Halloween Challenge sounds great. So, I resolve to:
1) Go to the gym at least 3 days a week
2) Walk 3-5 days a week
3) Drink a minimum of 72 oz. water daily
4) Lose at least 10 more pounds by Oct. 31
5) Rustle up some sort of costume to pose foolishly in!
Woohoo!

Default Re: Halloween Challenge 2008!

When does this challenge start? I'm totally in!

My goals are to excercise 5-6 days a week
drink at least 90 oz. of water

I don't want to put a weight amount cause I know it will just discourage me if I don't make that goal, so I"m just going to go with feeling better and looking good! Finally a reason to get dressed up again since I'm to old to go trick or treating!!!

The challenge starts as soon as you sign up!

I've been struggling a bit on my water goals, I almost need to get a big tank of a cup and keep it with me all day. I just don't think of it til it's too late! Exercise has mainly been taking our 3 month old baby for walks in the stroller - does that count? I hope so!

Keep up the good work everyone! I can't wait to see everyone's "after" pics!!
