    I am definitely in! I just joined this today, but that would be a perfect goal to set! My birthday is Dec 13th, so that would be a great way to keep my going all the way through the holidays! :)

    7/26/10 Weigh-in: 153.2 lbs
    8/2/10 Weigh-in: 152.4 lbs
    8/9/10 Weigh-in: 151.8 lbs
    8/16/10 Weigh-in: 151.0 lbs
    8/23/10 Weigh-in: 150.8 lbs

    Little bit more than usual! That was a big surprise! I was really happy to be under 150 lbs finally! Hope that getting under 145 lbs comes a little bit more quickly than it has been going!

    I seem to be on target to hit my goal of 30lbs off by Christmas / NYE. I joined 26th July (I think) and have lost 12lb since then (based on weigh in this morning that I haven't put on here yet). So 12lb in 5 weeks (with 1 week of holiday in that), and 18lbs to go in 4 months. Wow, put like that I'd hope I could lose more, but I've never lost this much in such a short - and healthy - way that I'm not sure what is a realistic goal for 4 months so I'll keep it at 30lbs and readjust closer if I start to get close to my goal.

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    I gained a bit, but I know its all my fault from eating not as well as I should have yesterday at the family bbq. Hopefully its just water weight and I'll be back down soon. Live and learn and move forward....

    Not doing too bad -- hitting a 2 lb loss each week so far! Let's see if I can keep it up! Maybe I can alter that end goal to 150, instead. :wink:
