oooooh you teeny tiny thing you I remember being your size hopefully i'll get down there again but I don't want to get that small i'll be happy around 9 stones now
well i was 115.7 on Friday morning....
theres 4 weeks Thursday til xmas morning....
i think its achievable....
my 8s are certainly getting more comfortable and i am starting to feel really good!....
serioulsy this time no target for me, since the birth of my child i have been worrying to much about the weight, but my hubby is insisting that i look great with that little extra fat (i know he is concerned, but he doesnt want me to be too harsh on myself)..so the next target will start in the new year. you can say i am on alittle break right now!
I think that for Christmas, I would like to be around the 12 stone mark (168lbs). So that's about 10lbs to go in four and a half weeks. If I stay on track, I should be able to manage to lose around 2lbs a week. I reached a weight plateau at my current weight which I've been for for around a year, and I've just broken it for the first time. I hope that the great feeling I got from breaking through that plateau keeps me on track!
Good luck with your goals everyone, hope you manage to meet your targets for Christmas!

well, it is generally (i am not speaking about you, plzz dont mind) in this festive times, it has been alaways difficult for me to keep a tab on the health
Yeah, I agree, it is always really difficult, especially when people offer you delicious Christmas food!
For me, part of it is that I've not seen my family since August. When I go home for Christmas, I know they'd be so happy for me and really proud if I'd lost some weight. They've been really supportive in the past about it, and they've been so caring about my health and well-being. In particular, I know it would make my dad feel really happy, so that really makes me want to try extra hard. Obviously, I'm primarily doing it for me rather than them, but knowing I'm doing something my family will be glad about is a really big motivator. Hopefully it'll help me try and resist at least some of the festive treats!
tinycities, I also find that my family's approbation is a big motivator for me. Certainly more than my boyfriend, who takes a bit too literally the advice that you should always claim to be happy with your partner's current weight, and so basically never comments on my weight loss (unless I ask him to!).
At least it sounds like neither of our families are likely to nag us to go on and have another mince pie.
Mentioning festive treats has reminded me of something I was thinking of in relation to Xmas (and more generally). I would love to know how many treats "normal weight" women have. I can manage eating no treat foods (for a while), or indeed eating lots and lots, but how many is a sensible amount? Do people who've always been slim just have one mince pie? Or do they just not feel hungry when they've had enough? I hope I get to self-regulate like that one day...
I hope to drop seven pounds between then and now to take me to 220 lbs. Best of luck everyone, don't let all the Christmas lunches and parties ruin your good intentions! I am planning to treat myself and enjoy the season without doing my usual - that is, going overboard and eating as if there was no tomorrow!
I'm also going to nicely ask family and friends NOT to buy me chocolates as a Christmas present - always been my downfall! Out of sight, out of mind, I hope!
if i get purchased chocolate they are going to go straight into a drawer....
and be locked in there....
i *know* dealing with all the sweets in the house is going to be bad enuf....
i expect to put on weight....
I remember being your size 
hopefully i'll get down there again 
but I don't want to get that small 
i'll be happy around 9 stones now
