I know exactly what you mean. At some point, you realize you started out hoping (and secretly trying not to get your hopes up) that you'll really stick with it this time, that you'll actually lose the weight this time. And then you realize that you're not hoping anymore. You *know.* It's a world of difference.

where i will be by Christmas
Gosh, that is getting alittle too close for comfort. I am currently in a tight 16 and they are stretch jeans, so it is probably closer to 18 lol. I hope to be two sizes smaller by Christmas especially down two sizes mentally by then if that makes any sense to you guys. More than the size just to "know" I have it under control this time. To have the freedom to enjoy food and not feel controlled by it. Serenity now, lol

I'm REALLY hoping to be at my initial goal by Christmas. 16 weeks til Christmas Eve and 15lbs to lose. I know my loss has been slowing right down, but I'm going to give it all I've got to get there, it would be THE best christmas present I could ever give myself.

I plan to be down to 225lb by Christmas. At 263 on Sept 4, that's a push, but I want to AT LEAST be at 230. I've only been at this for 34 days, who knows what the next 111 days will bring!
By the way, NancyMae... I noticed we have the same start weight and the same Christmas goal! You're a bit ahead of me now, but I hope to catch up!

I plan/hope/pray to be in Onederland by Christmas. 31 pounds in 16 weeks. Rough for sure but do-able if I stick to my plan.

My realistic goal- to be at 210 by christmas. I won't see my family until then, and I can't wait to go home and surprise them. If I make goal, then I'll have lost 52 lbs total since summer when I started.
My dreamy-dreamerton goal is Onederland.

I'd like to reach my healthy weight goal of 169 by Christmas, but it would be a bonus if I could lose a pound a week and exceed that by a little bit.

My only goal is to still be doing this by christmas. Last year I started and I gave up, I'm kicking myself at what I could have been if I had just kept going and not fallen off the wagon. This time I'm feeling like I can do this, that it's not as difficult as I thought it was, that if I keep going then I get to be that pretty girl I want to be.
So I want to be 20 pounds lighter. Slow and steady.

I hope to be down to 199, but so far my weight loss has been much higher than I expected. I don't know how long it will continue before it starts slowing down. But right now I have been consistently losing 4-5 Lbs a weeks so I may actually be down to 180 by Christmas which would be a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I plan on being 157 my current Goal Weight by Christmas...then I reevaluate, I think I will end up wanting to lose about another 20lb.
