  • I'm anxious for this month to be over lol!

    I know we won't know our starting weights for this challenge till tomorrow or Saturday (depending on when you count the start date for yourself), but thought I'd go ahead and start this up.

    Typically whenever I start the "LOSE 10 LBS BY..." threads I have a terrible month. Want to break the jinx!

    For anyone NEW to these, you don't have to actually make your goal 10 pounds, you can make it whatever you want! It's just tradition to use 10 at this point, so feel free to make your goal what you like.

    Let's kick December's booty!
  • You're on; but I can't commit to 10, I'll try 6. My numbers for this month may come up short even (although I may have gained muscle). We shall see.
  • I'm in, with a goal of 7 pounds. December's going to be a great month! I'll use tomorrow's weight as a starting point.
  • I'm in for this one. November didn't get even close to the 10 lbs. Looks like I'll round it out with 5 lbs for the month. Any loss makes me happy, but I really want to see 10 in december. I just need to prove to myself I can lose 10 lbs in a month. And as I get closer to goal it'll just get tougher. I'll post starting weight on the 1st of the month.
  • Can a newbie join in on the challenge? I do want to leave the challenge at 10 for me for December. This will be my first, and hopefully, a success!
  • Going for 7!
  • Yes! Come on ten pounds!! I'm in
  • I'm going for 6-7, but since I am not weighing in until the 22nd of December I guess I won't be contributing regularly! I'll check back in on that day for sure though!

    SW: 122? (I'm estimating based on my last weigh-in)
    GW: 116
  • I need a little motivation. I'm in! 10lbs for December!
  • I'm so in! Don't know if I'll make 10, but I sure am going to try!

    SW-178
    GW-168
    HW-170
  • I'm already participating in a 10 pounds by New Years challenge but two challenges can't hurt, haha.

    So...

    December 1: 131.5
    December 8: (Goal: 128)
    December 15: (Goal: 126)
    December 22: (Goal: 124)
    December 29: (Goal: 122)
    January 1: (Goal: 120)

    Would love to hit 118! That would be super-duper!
  • Well I have no control over the scale and it's funky with baby weight, anyway, but I'll join you and stay on my plan, as I have been, through the end of the month. I can SEE the fat loss in my face and back, even if the scale has stayed the same for two months (I lose weight, baby gains weight, it all balances out).
  • I'm going for 5lbs, starting with this week's weigh-in. Seems like I can lose 5lbs a whole lot easier than a larger number.

    SW: 167
    GW: 162

    EDIT: I'm changing my goals since I hit 167 today for the last challenge! Let's do this!
  • ♪♫ I'll I want for Christmas is to be 10 pounds lighter, 10 pounds lighter. I'll I want for Christmas is to be 10 pounds lighter!♪♫
  • I usually go for 5 pounds each month, but since I only count my TOPS weigh-ins and because the meetings are going to be sporadic through the holidays, I'm starting from yesterday and will be ending on January 9th. And with that extra time and due to having an extra special goal in mind, I'm going to kick it up a notch and go for 7 pounds. The lowest I've ever been as an adult is 220, and I would totally, totally love to get there in early January!

    SW: 227
    GW: 220

    Bring on December! Let's get this Christmas party started.
