    Just over 2 months in guys, how is everyone getting on? I am actually going to change my goal, as I have lost more than I thought I would :) Now I want to be 185lbs (or less if I can do it) by Christmas. So thats about 6.6lbs to go for me :)

    I committed to 25 lbs on Aug 15, and so far, I'm down exactly 5lbs. Which is about 1.25 lbs/week. At this rate, I'll probably be just short - time to step up my game for that 25lb loss :)

    I'm now down 11lbs exactly. That makes for still about 1.25 lbs/week. Hit a plateau during this time period. Still hoping to get at least 20 by Christmas....I'd like to blow my guest's socks off.

    My goal for the end of the year was to be at 160. Right now I'm at 168, so I think I'm changing my goal to be at 155 or (maybe, hopefully) lower. Here goes... :drinker:

    Today is exactly 2 months from Christmas!!
    How is everyone doing??

    I've been going slower than I hoped. 15 pounds in 2 months is a little unrealistic. But I'm gonna try my hardest to get my scale into the 130's!

    Wow... i just looked back at my last post. At that point I had wanted to lose 20 lbs by Christmas so I was at 145. Well, I've managed to get all the way down to 155 with a solid 2 months to go til Christmas! That's definitely awesome progress toward my goal. I have a conservative mini goal of 150 by Christmas, but I think at this rate, getting to 145 might really be possible. I bought size 8 pants at the mall this past weekend, which BOGGLES MY MIND! SIZE 8??? That in itself is amazing me. I'm hoping to be size 6 for Christmas :)

    WOW I am inspired by some of these stories. I would like to lose 15 pounds by Christmas. I have finally found a workout program that I LOVE and have found that the eating better is easier when I am working my butt off 6 times a week.

    I'm here to update again :smile: I've lost a total of 14.5 pounds since i first posted so I have nearly met my 15lb goal already and theres still a month and a half to go! I think I'll aim for the 20lb lost that I never thought I'd be able to do :blushing:

    I was 153lbs on my first post, 142lbs on the second and at the moment I am 138.5lbs!!

    It's now just over 2 months to go and I'm heading towards my goal. I am sure I'll hit 20 lost and am going to work really hard for 25, but I might need that extra week in 2010 to make sure ;)

    Last time I was down 11.0 lbs from my start weight. I am now down 18.9 lbs :love: I am a little concerned with all the holiday cookies that are starting to float around so I don't know that I will be able to keep up 1.25-1.8 lbs between now and Christmas, but we will sure give it a GOOD try.

    How about everyone else? It's now been 2 months.....are you closer?

    Well, this board is great in helping me chart my weight loss and goals - I started off wanting to be 190lbs by Christmas, then changed to 185lbs....I'm now sitting at 180.2lbs and it's still 3 weeks until Christmas! I can't believe it!

    It's nice because I am not going to be so hard on myself on Christmas day - not that I'm going to go crazy - I'm just not going to weigh my food and relax on the day. I think my thoughts and ability to control myself around food have really changed so I know I won't succumb to binge eating on the day. Buuuuuut having this amazing extra few lbs buffer is a wonderful feeling.

    Great to hear others are also on target for reaching their goals, or nearing them! Remember, every lb down is still a step in the right direction!!!!

    I'm going to do my final weigh in on Christmas Eve (even though my usual weigh in is a Sunday) and post my Christmas weight here :) Please join me if you want to guys :D
