I have a goal for 31st Dec so basically yes! I want to get to 140lbs by then. I hope to get there by mid December really so that I can have a bit of buffer room for Christmas and New Year. I'm at 157lbs now so that gives me 3 months to lose 17lbs which is just over 1lb a week- might be doable but if I don't quite make it then no biggy, it just gives me a head start on the 'New Year, New Me' lot 😜
Once I get to 140lbs I think I'll try and maintain for a while and focus on my fitness then try to lose another 10lbs or so by early summer.

12/07 (target 141.8) 140.6 (-0.8) still on track, the next few weeks are where it gets tricky! Ideally I'd like to get to 138.6 by my next weigh in as a Christmas bloat buffer

Recap-
I'm back! Today is "November 16th" and good news! I've made it to (137.0) finally : ). (137.6) to be exact* Took a long time to get here. Glad I made it, this isn't the only GW. This is just one small goal acquired .That took months and months(Me not doing all I know I should have. Weigh that food and all condiments.. Eyeballing is very deceiving ) Now.. ,I come back on Dec14th. For a third update to you all : ).[/quote]
Now-
Am back, it's Dec14th!,and Down to 135.8(-1.8lbs) I know slow but better than losing zero.
The small loss are adding up. Much more than what I thought. I'm set at- 0.5 Lbs per week.
So my goal did change a little over time.The last goal for this year. Is to be at 135.0 Exactly. If lower, that's fine too. I'll be back on Dec 28th. With a 4th WL loss update, Good day everyone : ).

Going out tonight for NYE then a cooked breakfast and a walk tomorrow, close the door on 2021 and start again with a clean slate.
Congrats to everyone, December is HARD but we kept accountable and kept posting so be proud!
