    I'm absolutely with you! Hoping to drop about 23 lbs before Christmas Day but any amount of loss (less or more than 23) would be good!
  • I'm so in!! I'm moving to a new town just before Christmas and it would be nice to make a good impression. So excited to see if this is possible!
  • I'm in!! I'm shooting for -20 by the 14th (:
  • I'm in! :)

    It's not doable for me at all - even if I'd started on day 1, with only 20-25 lbs left to my goal weight, I only lose about a pound a week. It would be nice to be down 5 lbs by then, though but we'll see :) Good luck everyone!

    I'd say at this point, being November 12th, I think 10 lbs is more realistic. Though MFP tells me the way I'm going, I'll be down 20 in 5 weeks, which is about Christmas time.

    I'd rather not lose over 2 lbs a week, thereby catabolizing my existing muscle mass, depressing my metabolism and leaving me flabbier than I am now.

    No. I'll stick to a sustainable, safe and healthy weight loss plan. But good luck to the rest of you.
