Hi all! I haven't posted for quite some time, please forgive me

I was just wondering if it was a reasonable goal for me to lose 10 lbs by christmas?

What are your Christmas goals?

Well personally i don't think its reasonable seeing you are so close to your goal weight..

As for me Id be happy at 132!

with about 4 weeks until christmas, and you being so close to your goal weight, i'm not sure it would be possible or healthy.
My christmas goal is 6 lbs, which would put me at 177lbs.

Hmm. My Christmas goal is to be 145... I saw 149.6 on the scale this morning, but I feel like that's a bit of a fluke.

I feel like it's better to set yourself low goals, then congratulate yourself profusely when you BEAT them.

Thanks for the honest responses ladies! I hope that you can reach the goals you've set!

Jelbb~ always love advice from a fellow canadian chicka

I totally think you'll get to 145 by Christmas!

My plan is to lose 10 pounds before New Years and I started a couple days ago so I gave myself just under 45 days, which I hope is doable!

I've been keeping really close count on my calories and doing the 30 day shred a lot more consistently, so I hope I get there!

It may be possible, but if you are doing it healthy (which I hope you are!) you will prob get close but not exactly. Esp when the holidays are sooo very hard to get through with a maintain let alone a loss. But if you are totally focused, then try your best and get as close to goal as possible. Good luck!
My goal is about 7-8 lbs. If I get there, great.. if not, I know I gave it my best shot!

My goal is -7 pounds by Christmas. It is ambitious for me at this stage of the game. My weight loss is slowing. At full effort I am losing about 2 pounds each week. But I am okay with that.

jahjah1223 · 11-23-2008, 11:53 AM

2 pounds a week is awesome! i think im losing about 1.8 every 2 weeks ! which im an VERY happy about.

You're so light already, it might take a lot of work to lose 10 pounds in a month. Good luck with whatever you goal is or becomes!

My goal is to lose 8 more pounds by New Year's Eve. That would be about 2 pounds a week, and I lose REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLy slow, so I don't think I am even going to make that.
