I know many of you have Halloween goals, whether it's weight loss or body re-composition, and I'm extremely interested in hearing about your personal experience and how it ties in to your recent weight loss efforts--of course, even if you don't reach your goals, please post anyway! Don't be embarrassed, we're all here for support!!! :D Can you mention:

--your town or city during Halloween (as I imagine many of you Big City people have Off the Hook celebrations)

--your weight goals

--your costume for this year

--pictures of your past costumes

--Follow up:


Did you reach your goal(s)?
Anything crazy/exciting happen?
Did you get any compliments?
Do you have pictures to share?




Ok I'll start :D

Santa Cruz is a small town--like 55,000 people or so. But Halloween is a HUGE ordeal--they barricade the main drag, and all sorts of people, young and old, come out in costumes and roam the streets. It's pretty insane--people come from different towns (like San Jose and Gilroy and Salinas) for the event. Even the weekend before (if on a weekday) people are dressed up and barhopping. It's a bit dangerous, as well, as many stabbings occur, mostly between gang members. I've also heard of people injecting others with things. I personally haven't seen much of this behavior, but it's hard to see anything because it's so crowded! One of the best costumes I've seen was a giant redwood tree....someone had actual bark all over an 7-foot tall redwood tree and they were holding real branches out the top as they walked carefully around!

My weight goal is to be 145 lbs, but as long as I look good in my costume I'll be happy :)

My costume is a secret ;)

In 2005 I was a schoolgirl with my BF as a pimp at 148 lbs (and a fake tan that made me look even thinner!) and in 2006 I was The White Rabbit with my girl friend as Alice at 155 lbs.
 
--your town or city during Halloween: Not sure what San Jose has to offer yet, but the guys at work and I are planning to do the dance from Thriller at our job campus... for fun.

--your weight goals: 235!!!

--your costume for this year: One is Zombie, the other is a giant alarm clock... a lot of people at work have been pulling 12+ hour shifts.

--pictures of your past costumes: sorry... I can't find any:mad:

--Follow up: To be continued!

--We are living next to Orlando right now so I gues the big thing is the Halloween horror nights at Universal and for the little ones the Halloween party at Disney.

--My weight goal was originally 125 but I'm not going to make it so I would settle for 130.

--If I fit into it a sexy maid costume but I will probably have to go out and buy a costume.

--Sorry, don't have any pictures I can find easily.

--Follow up will come soon...:)
 
--your town or city during Halloween: Well Fresno, California isn't really all that big but we usually got to Los Angeles to go to Disneyland for their halloween thing. This year we aren't doing that as its just me, my mom and my son until my hubby gets home which he might actually get to be here for halloween this year.

--your weight goals: to hit 230 but if i can get to 232-233 i'll be happy with that too.

--your costume for this year: well not sure yet but i am hoping to find something sexy and may not exactly be for out of the bedroom type stuff.. lol but for out of the bedroom i guess something like maybe a school girl or cop type outfit or maybe one of those bad girl outfits as dh says i'm a naughty girl anyways.. lol sorry if tmi.

--pictures of your past costumes: past costumes: last year i was winnie the pooh and my son dressed up as tigger.. it was so cute. i'll have to see if i can find a pic of us together. boy i am never dressing up in something like that again the costume was way to hot.


--Follow up: this one will be continued as soon as we get closer to halloween.

YAY!

One more! WHoo hoo! Don't worry you guys, I'm gonna make SURE you follow up by pestering you until you do--don't forget to take pictures! :D
 
-YAY! I love Halloween. It is my absolute most favorite holiday. Tomorrow I shall be attending with my wonderful Mother, the Keene Pumpkin Festival in New Hampshire. Tonight might be the haunted hayrides. :jump:
I technically live in Westbrook, Maine but I like to consider myself part of Portland, our big artsy little port city.
There's a Halloween costume ball with a hot electro-rock sounding band and it's going to be outside, under the moonlight and the stars. Perfect. My best friend Brielle and I are going trick-or-treating. I plan on giving away a majority of my candy and want to break the record this year. Yes, I'm 18 and still trick-or-treat. :rolleyes:
Westbrook has this thing down Main street. It's shut off to traffic and hundreds of families roam around in costume as businesses pass out candy and the libraries turn into haunted houses.
-I'd like to lose 5 pounds by Halloween. This month is a tough one for me.
-I am super proud of my costume. I'm a male vampire pimp and Brielle is my S/M vampire whore. We've invested sooo much into our planning this year. There will most certainly be pictures.
-I wish I had a picture of when my friend Jen and I dressed as Jay and Silent Bob, Brielle as the nun, and my friend Brian as Justice. :rotflmao:

I love this time of year.
 
--your town or city during Halloween (as I imagine many of you Big City people have Off the Hook celebrations) -- well we live in small town USA here in NE Indiana, so I don't think there are any Off-the-hook celebrations here - well at least not for people like me. ;)

--your weight goals -- I signed up for the Halloween Challenge and just wanted to lose maybe 5 measly pounds - you think I could do that? Heckola No!

--your costume for this year -- I'm going to go thru my closet and the kid's stuff and "whip" something up especially for the Halloween Challenge, but other than I'm not dressing up - well I will for a Fall Festival at church too. :)

--pictures of your past costumes -- I will add some, I know I have at least one on my puter.

--Follow up: Didn't see this until now - but if I lose any weight in the next 2 wks, I'll let everyone know!

I did not reach my goal of 145 lbs. I have been working out a lot, but was unable to maintain consistent caloric deficits; however, I was still 149--I beat last year! LOL!

Nothing crazy or exciting happened downtown, in fact, this was the worst year for costume creativity :rolleyes: in Santa Cruz fr many years, IMO.

My costume was a HIT! The BF loved it so much that....oh yeah that IS crazy and exciting, but TMI! :rotflmao: WHOOPS! But yeah, lots of people loved it and especially the Latino men ;)

Here is a picture, I could do more later:
