I saw the last thread. And realized that many of you stopped posting. My thought was that you had given up. And i really hope not. I'm not sure how this works since i'm still pretty new. But i think you guys should have a chance to renew your Christmas goals. Feel free to post your goals and weigh ins

Goal for Christmas : 140 pounds (aim high)

16/11/2010 - 192.2

Well I didn't enter for baby reasons, and with him being so overdue it cut into the time I had remaining in this year to reach my original 2010 goal of 189.

HOWEVER - I am on plan again with him born and me healed; headed very respectably toward Onederland. I would love to see 199 by January 1st and can do it if I lose around 2 lbs per week, so by staying on plan I'll either end up there or darn close. That's more than enough for me!

New here! My starting weight today is 235.5. Will try my best to get to 225 by 12/24/10. My plan is to cut down on portions and try to eat healthy.
Good luck to everyone!

awsome goal. keep it safe just make sure when (WHEN) you get there not to overeat cas you need "rewarding" buy yourself something instead

i think i missed that other thread- so i hope it's okay if i join in now.

let's see- we have 40 days till Christmas (Ebay is tracking the days for me...haha).

Today I was 158.5.

I would like to be 148 by Christmas...that's 10.5 pounds, which would be a pretty big loss for me, but I think I can do it.

Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the reminder. I didn't post this week, because my weight's been up and down, and I was sure I'd have gained. However, I went and checked and, albeit not by much, a few ounces only, I Do have a net loss this week!
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU. That has really helped me get focussed.
In fact, there is not a single week since the challenge started that I haven't lost Something, even if only 1/4lb.

Anyway, I've lost 21 of the 25 pledged. 4lbs in 40 days should be possible. Not only would that mean I'd met my challenge but I'd be (gasp) in the 160s. Almost unbelievable!

Thanks again!

Its great that you back on track!!! Rosinante!!!! Dont give up. 10 pounds is always a great goal

Socialfelicity, its always awsome to have new people join. you can do it.

I bet were all gonna reach our goals excited? i think so

[jenjen]

I was hoping to be 199 by Christmas/New Year's, but that won't happen. I would be happy to be under 210 by Christmas---so 8 pounds. If I do happen to hit 199, I won't be complaining.

I'm just looking at it that I will weigh a lot less than I did last Christmas (50+ pounds less!), and that is good enough for me.

I've been posting on the other thread. But I'm always up for a little vow renewal. I've lost a little over 22 of the 27 lbs I pledged to lose, and so hopefully if everything goes well, I can at LEAST make my christmas goal by the 25th. It seems pretty doable.

[fat chick 123]

jenjen, i think you could loose that much in 40 days. i BET you could get to 199 if you put your mind to it. being under 200 would be a great goal.

Vow renual always gets your mind back on track only 5 pounds in 40 days. you could probally BEAT your goal toasted smoke.

I'm still fighting the battle. I don't set specific goals like x number of pds by date, so I didn't vote. Every day I eat right I'm "meeting my goal" I guess LOL.

[Loving Me]

I have still been posting on the christmas challenge and have lost 15.5lbs of the 17lbs goal I set myself, which will get me to my initial goal weight of 145lbs and a healthy BMI for the first time in about 15 years or more.
The scale has been stuck for the last couple of weeks which I'm finding REALLY upsetting and frustrating as I'm SO close, but I'm keeping going and confident that I'll have hit my initial goal by Christmas. I'm planning on trying to lose another 8-10lbs after that so if I can make a dint in those by Christmas I'll be ecstatic.

[sept15lija]

I've been posting updates too. My initial goal was to get to 180, so you can see I've passed it! That would have been 31 pounds gone from the start of the challenge in early August. So I've upped my goal now, I'm hoping to get to 165...and as of this morning I have 7.2 pounds to go so I may up it yet again!!

[Jelbelle]

I'll set a newish goal to be 195 by Christmas, so that's 9lbs! Just feeling I need to get more talkative and supportive this holiday season! So I wish you ladies the best =D we have time, we can all get to our goals!
