Ok, fell off wagon as went away unexpectedly but am back on....this challenge IS acheivable by those of us, like me, with a lot still to lose. I appreciate why some people want to advise that it is too big a goal etc but it doesn't matter if none of us make the 12 but even get half way....it is progress and this helps motivate us....so I am aiming for 12 but ANY loss will be gratefully accepted by me at least ☺️

Unless you let falling short of the goal derail you from long term sustainable progress towards a bigger, more reasonable goal...

...or you do things that are not conducive to longterm success in order to read this short term goal...

...or you meet the goal and declare "mission accomplished!" and then take a "break" from progress for a few months/years.

So yeah, as long as it is reasonable and supports the longterm goal, then absolutely, great idea. Otherwise, it might actually be counterproductive. Just something to consider.

Made it another 24 hrs. Got a great 3 mile hike in on the Blue Ridge Parkway(chilly and 35). I went to my boyfriends house for the night, wasn't sure if I could stay on track, but I did perfect, everyday that I make it another 24 hrs I feel stronger. Tonight will be a test, because I am home alone. But I hope to go for a run later, it is warming upt to 50 degrees today. Good luck to everyone today!!!

Going away for the holidays to where it is warm. I'm definitely in! Just restarted yesterday and noted that in the past year without using MFP gained 10 lbs...so back to logging

That was me about a month and a half ago...but mine was 15 lbs :-/ Diet and exercise has cut that in half. I am in for this goal too!!

Rich71bat

Hi all, I've lost 10lb now after 3 weeks so on target!!

Feel free to add me.

Jb59

I'm up for the challenge! That would put me very close to goal. Would be a great way to start the new year!

Wanderer1224

I am soooooooo in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MamaP47

What the heck, I will try this. Don't know if I can lose 12 pounds or not...but I will give it a whirl.

VeryKatie

I still have 8.8 lbs to go. I don't think I'll get all of that done in 4 weeks at my weight any more (I don't quite have enough motivation to work that hard). At least it's going down. My new goal is to lose another 4.8 lbs by the 24th (so 1.2lbs/week). That will leave me with 4 lbs to goal after Christmas. I do feel more motivated than I used to though. I like having a date goal (even if I don't meet it) - it gives me a sense of "Yay, I'm done soon".

Mufflana

Just over 3lbs gone since I joined this challenge, I am delighted as I had been stuck for nearly six weeks....still shooting for the 12 lb loss but will be delighted with any more progress !!

Congrats to all those who are hanging in and posting your success

nicoleyg

I'm in. Starting a little late, but better late than never. I wont lose 12 pounds, but I'll get as close as possible. What a great gift to give myself for the holidays

tlmadrid

QueenKristine7

wish i had seen this weeks ago....i think 3 weeks is too short of time for me to lose that much

mjaustin45

I am in also!!! I am alittle behind everyone but I am going to try my hardest!

Hearts_2015

I'll play.... motivation is a great game. I'm not being unrealistic since it's 3 weeks to xmas but you all are a positive lot... I'll take on some of your enthusiasm and work hard to do what I can.
