I saw that someone revived a thread about this from 2008 and I thought it would be fun to speculate and set goals and wishes for this Christmas.

For myself, if I continue losing well I could lose 10lbs per month, so let's say -30lbs by Xmas...I'd be 211 and probably about a size 14-16! That will be my goal.

My wish will be for the clothing fairy to come along and bring me some clothes to get me through these sizes until I need smaller.

I like this post. I have taken a break from weighing myself for a while, but I hope to continue losing between now and then. If I could drop 15 pounds by Christmas, I'd be happy. Right now I am in a size 14, though some brands are still too tight. I just picked up a few great pairs of dress pants at Banana Republic in size 14 b/c they were on sale, but still a bit too tight. By Christmas, I hope to be comfy in any pair of 14's I put on, and to look hot in pictures!

I would love love love to be down around 200 by Christmas, and also to look more muscular, toned, and not as mushy soft. I would love to be able to see a difference in my face, and I would be so happy to be in pictures with my sons and actually not be ashamed to share those pictures with people. Are you listening, Santa?

Goal weight!!

I'll probably look a hot mess stressing out about my husband coming home. LOL!

My biggest goal is to consistently lose every week, so that by Christmas I can be at least 25 pounds thinner.

I'm not a regular poster in this forum, but I saw the title of the thread and couldn't help myself. Can you believe I've never thought about this???? Oh my goodness, now my mind is going a mile a minute, wondering what is reasonable/logical in the next . . . 16+ weeks.

Thanks for the thread - my motivation's been a little iffy the past couple of weeks, but this is a definite kick in the rear!

Wow! I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner! I think I am going to try for 40 pounds before Christmas. It's not that big of a leap if I can lose 10 pounds a month. All I want for Christmas is my smaller jeans back, my smaller jeans back, my smaller jeans BACK! I'll keep the two front teeth I have just get my butt in a size 15 or 16 and I would be on cloud 9!

Hopefully I will be either at goal or no more than ten pounds away.

under 200 lbs
I'm 229 right now

I'm in a 12 now. I'd like to be a comfy size 10.

Definitely would LOVE to be under 160...being in the 140's would be spectacular!! I'm going to work my @$$ off to get there!! Great thread!

I see me well into my healthy weight zone by Christmas - that's 13.6 pounds away to the top end of the range - and celebrating a year on plan.

I would love to be at 233 by Christmas time..or at least December 31st. I want to see a difference by then. a Big difference and be able to buy a cute dress for the family that actually looks decent. I am hosting an ugly Christmas sweater party too so I want to actually look somewhat "cute?" in my ugly sweater. Haha!

If I lost 30 lbs by Christmas I would be 255. I know it seems extreme, but I really hope I am in the 240's by Christmas. That would be a great gift.
