Id like to be around 180

Mine is a New Years goal rather than Christmas (I figure I'd give myself an extra week ;)).
I would like to lose at least 24lbs but really I am hoping for 38lbs.

Yes, I know that this is probably impossible, but, we all live in hope.
And besides, I'm really tryin' hard!

Courtnie - sorry to hear about lil' keiko!

I would like to be 145 by Christmas. That's my goal but somehow I don't think it's going to happen what with Thanksgiving and my inability to control my gluttony at said festivity. Sigh.

Poor keiko!!! At least she's better now. Close calls always give me a heart attack.

My Christmas goal was started August first, to go from 239 to 199 - about 10 pounds per month. I haven't weighed myself this week, so on Sunday I'll find out where I stand.

I talked it over with my 'trainer' (hubby) and he suggested that I also shoot for a certain size in case my weight loss continues as sluggishly as it is, so at least I can make one goal. So, that in mind, I set my goal to a size 16 by Christmas, which would put me down about 2 sizes.

Oh my goodness. I remember when me and my boyfriend first got our new kitten. She started coughing and wheezing. Turned out it was just a hairball... but it scared me half to death! I've never had cats before, always dogs, so I've never seen anything like that before, lol.

My goal is to by 199 by christmas! That is.. if I can make it through all of the puddles to get to the gym. Heh. I was driving to work today... and there is a LAKE sized puddle that I had to drive through, and I barely made it. Hopefully it'll stop raining by the time I have to go home or I won't make it! lol

courtnie-wow, that must of been really scary. I'm glad she's ok.

:welcome2: everyone. Come on gals!!! Our goals may seem like big ones, but we can do it. Or we can at least try!!!

I am leaving for vacation tonite. Woohoo!!! I will be in Los Angeles for a week. I am so stoked. I'll try to be really good but I don't know how it'll turn out. I will be eating all the food that I love and miss. Yum! I can't wait.

Aimee--I just saw Laguna Beach last nite. I don't want to spoil it but it looks like Jessica is heading for Jason #2. Silly kids and their drama!

Rosario - have tons of fun!

Courtnie - glad to hear Keiko is alright.. that would have been terrifying!!

Rosario - Jessica needs to lay off the highschool'ers!! I was reading somewhere online that the Alex's from last season live together in LA, and I loved their comments on Kristen in the first episode. Have fun in LA, but not tooo much fun ;)

Altari - I like that idea of also aiming for a size!

My clothing goal was always to get into a size 16 GAP jean, I know I'm not quite there yet.. maybe 1-2 inches around my tummy to go. I wonder if I need to set my sights higher by christmas. I'd love to be into 14's!

I would love to be at goal by Jan. 1. That would mean losing 38 lbs. and not gaining any over the holidays. That is going to be so hard to do. I am always the one who makes all the home made candies. This year it will be all natural fruits. If any one wants candy they can buy it. Maybee next year I will have enough willpower to make and not eat, but not right now.

Ill join in my current weight loss goal is still going til sept. 29th but ill add christmas then remove that one when its over. Ill say a goal of 25lbs. If i dont make that thats ok as long as i dont gain lol. my last goal was 20lbs and i lost almost 30lbs so maybe i will. and that will put me at my first major goal of 150lbs. ultimately id like to get to 130 but im not pushing it yet im at 174 right now down from 208 so ill get there. good luck everyone.

OMG Chatter! I'm at 174 too!

I'd like to be below 150 for Christmas, so that's 25 pounds.

Where are you ladies? Jeez, talk about slacking!

So I am down 1.4 this week :) Well I am counting 1.4 - it could be less. I stood on the scale before shower and it said 178.6 and after showing soaking wet it said 177.6 (I checked twice!) and then I dreid my hair and it said 178... wtf? Anyway I am counting the lowest, haha.

I'm majorly slacking :( My mom comes to town on Wednesday, and she's here until Sunday morning... and then I'm going to a wedding. It's not looking so good this week. I really want this vacation weight off!!

I used to set huge goals and then get frustrated when I didn't get there. So at the beginning of August I set a one pound per week goal. That would have me at 140 Christmas week. (or by New Years) Anyway, I did fine during August and got down to 159 by Sept 2nd. But for the past three weeks, I have hit a brick wall. That's why I came here. I want to get back on track. That means I need to be at 155 by the end of Sept. to be at 140 by the new year.
