    @veezybell - Thanks for the encouragement! You're doing fabulous! Congrats on already exceeding the challenge with several more weeks to go.

    I fell a little off the wagon around Thanksgiving, but didn't go too overboard. Now I gotta refocus :sweat_smile:.

    Hi, I'm late joining but I started back on MFP last week of October so:
    10/25 191.5
    10/31 186.5
    11/6 184
    11/14 181.8
    11/21 179.2
    11/28 177.2
    12/05 175

    Lost so far, 16.5 lbs. Don't think I'll reach 25 by January 1st but I am aiming to lose a total of 21.5 lbs by New Years, which is 5 more pounds in the next 3 1/2 weeks.

    Hello I am also joining late :)
    12/01: 251.5
    12/07: 249.3

    So far I am down 2.2 lbs! Pretty happy but still have 22.8 lbs to reach the 25lbs loss by the end of the year. I might not make it in such a short amount of time but I will try my hardest :)

    Congratulations! That's fantastic! I've still got about 10 to go... might be a few lbs shy by the end.

    On 9/11 I weighed 296 pounds, and I started losing weight on 10/18.
    Today I weigh 280. Can I make it to 270 by 1/1? Probably not, but I'm going to get as close as I can!

    Trying to get back on track, I've made no progress in the last month. I'm only .5 from a "healthy" BMI (I've seen 159 twice on the scale in the last month but it hasn't stuck around.) I won't make the 25 lb goal but I hope to end the year solidly out of the "overweight" category.

    Weight loss for the challenge: 15.5

    With this challenge over soon, you might be interested in another long-term one called "April Fools- The Weight Loss Trick." Sorry, I don't seem to be able to copy links to threads on my phone but it shouldn't be hard to find. Anyway, set a goal for April 1 and post weekly. I'm sure there are others, too.

    Meanwhile, I'll definitely be posting here to finish out the year. I didn't lose 25 lbs, but made progress in the right direction!
