    I'm in maintenance now, so my goal for Christmas is to be the same weight I am now - maybe a bit tighter in my arms and tummy. :smile:

    To have all my presents bought and wrapped a week before Christmas Day. I doubt it will happen though.

    At 15 weeks before Christmas I made a goal to be down 15 pounds in those 15 weeks.

    However, I have lost about 10 already. I am hoping to lose at least another 10, perhaps 15 if I can keep myself in line ;)

    I want to be at least down 50 lbs by Christmas which would be 20 more lbs.... more would be fantastic! but I would be happy with that.

    If we think only in realistic terms of our weight challenge, then that doesn't leave any room for improvement. Say for example, the average weight loss by then for some would be only 16 lbs., but with some extra effort it could be 22 lbs.

    I would like to lose 6 pounds by Christmas. That would put me at 149.

    I'm hoping to be in a comfortable size 12 by then (so approximately 10 more lbs). I'm a comfortable 14 now.

    I'm getting pretty close to maintenance, so at this point, I'd be really happy with losing 3-4 lbs before Christmas

    I started on 1st August and in 13 weeks I've lost 21lbs, so TECHNICALLY in another 9 weeks til Christmas I 'should' be able to lose another 14.5lbs...........

    But I have learned that my weight loss is far from linear and sometimes I don't lose anything for 3 weeks (despite logging everything, maintaining deficit, exercising) and then I lose 3lb all at once etc. Also, I can tell that since I'm back in the 'normal' weight range for my height, weight loss is slower than when I was genuinely 'overweight'.

    So I'm 148lb now (down from 169lb) and if I managed to be around 135lb by Christmas I would be well chuffed, but just getting back under 140lb would be nice.

    Ideally, 8 pounds. But knowing I usually lose 1 pound a week, lose a week of loss when I eat out, and there's Thanksgiving coming up...I'd be happy with 5. I've been losing quickly the past month, so I'm not expecting much. I tend to go through patterns of losing a lot of weight quickly and then stalling for a while. I'm currently stalling.

    For now my goal is to be down 25lbs by Thanksgiving. I'm down 19 lbs now, so I think 6 pounds in the next month is reasonable. By Christmas I'd like to be down 30-35 lbs, but we'll see with all the festive goodies people try to pass around the office. I'm hoping to stay on track!

    I'd love to have reached "20 pounds lost!" on my ticker!!! So that would be another 7 lbs. totally doable, I think :)
