My 1st Weight-Loss Challenge! Wanna join?

Hi everybody!!! I'm feeling super-motivated right now (I usually don't, so I'm appreciating it while it's here!) I've come up with a new mini-goal for myself, and I am DETERMINED to reach it by the end of October--by Halloween!

I just started last week, so I'm a week ahead of you, but I'm still hoping that somebody will want to join me! Basically, I am just going to be as strict as I possibly can and see how much weight I can lose by month's end! October just feels LUCKY!

My motivation? Besides being TIRED of being overweight, I just discovered that my favorite band will be playing at my favorite bar/restaurant on Halloween. EVERYBODY will be dressing up, and I've never done that before. This Halloween, I WILL!

It has always been a dream of mine to dress in one of those sexy adult costumes--like the police woman, French maid, nurse, or naughty school girl. But I have been overweight my ENTIRE adult life so far.

Well I'm not going to wait any longer. This Halloween I'm going to be able to dress up in whatever I want to dress up in. I'm already six pounds closer!

I started this particular thread of my diet at 173 pounds. I just reached 167 on Fridday. Yay me! In total, I want to get down to 150 by Halloween. I know it's going to be tough, but I'm so determined. That's 23 pounds I want to lose total. But I can do it! So can you!

So would anybody like to join me?? The basic idea is to simply try to reach a mini-goal by month's end!
