    Would love to lose 10-15 pounds by then, though 20 would be exceptional!
    College makes it so much harder..can you believe the struggle to find simple grilled chicken and brown rice on campus!?
    CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
    Makes my motivation that much stronger. :happy:

    I started on July 13th and my goal was to drop 40lbs by Xmas (going from 169 to 129). At this point I believe I've lost about 21lbs (I'm not positive because I only weigh once a month), so it seems quite unlikely that I would drop another 18lbs in 2 months. Realistically, I'd love to be 136 by xmas, which is 12 pounds (i think) from right now.

    I already hit my first goal, just trying to shed some vanity pounds. I've been losing a lb a month to do that, so my goal is to lose another 2 lbs. Wish it'd be more, but I'm short and pretty inactive which isn't going to change between now and Christmas. Plus, it's the holidays, so there's super yummy food and I won't be refusing a couple bites of pie just to lose an extra 0.1 lb. Just, no.

    10-12lbs by Christmas would be nice. I'm actually in a weight loss challenge group here at work. Winner gets $2000.00. Would be nice, but I'm not going to kill myself for it.

    My hopes, my dreams... :happy: would be 22 pounds by Christmas, which I would clear if I can maintain the same fat loss over the next 9 weeks that I have been losing over the past 7 weeks.

    That being said, my "safe" goal is 12 pounds. I'm at 222, and I think that breaking that 200 barrier (which got surpassed going the wrong direction about 5 years ago :angry: ) would be a big positive psyychological boost for me.

    I have a bunch of goals I'd like to keep ticking off until maintenance.....but even then, the goals will just be more performance based once I get there :) By Christmas I would love to lose another 10 pounds and be in a 10 instead of a 12, but I'd be happy with any loss I can manage. I especially would like to be a little faster in my sport (badminton). Just this month I have kicked up my training a notch and would like to keep the intensity level up and hopefully see and feel some results by Christmas.

    Pretty reasonable, a little more weight loss and a little more speed :)

    I think I want to shoot for 10 lbs. I feel that it's reasonable and attainable (provided I stay away from crappy food).

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

    10lbs was my goal before I hopped on the scale and saw that I gained 2lbs in the last week...hoping it's just normal fluctuation/water weight, otherwise 12lbs! My overall goal is to lose 15-20 more (including the 10-12 before Christmas).

    Oh! And of course to make good food choices over the holidays! I love to bake...so just need to not partake in the consumption!

    My goal is just to survive it. LOL
    Of course I want to lose more weight. Ideally, 15 lbs, realistically, 10 lbs.

    On top of the Thanksgiving hubbub, we're going to Florida/Disney the first week of December. We'll be gone Dec 1-9th. So yea.... it's going to be a challenge to have Thanksgiving, Disney and then Christmas. But you know, all I can do is keep working hard, try not to go overboard and see what happens. I'm not going to stress myself out about it. I know what I need to do to keep going. :)

    I'm shooting for 15lbs. It's achievable as long as I stick to tracking on the weekends! The weekends I always put my social life first. Blah

    I just want to lose the last six pounds to get to my primary goal, so I can see if I like my body at that weight. :drinker:
