  • I would like to be down 15 more lbs by Christmas...Lets do this!!!
  • Sure I'll try. I did some calculations that I'll share here.
    There are 50 days until Xmas.
    That's 7.14 weeks.
    At 2 lbs a week that's a total loss of 14.30 lbs by Xmas.

    So I'm shooting for at least 10 considering I can't do many activities due to diabetic pain in the feet and medications that make you gain weight. 10 by Xmas would be great for me!

    Those of you that are shooting for up to 30 lbs by Xmas That's 7.14 weeks. Be careful that's an unhealthy goal. That totals 4.5 lbs a week approx

    Best of luck to everyone. Thanks for the challenge. It'll help keep me focused during Thanksgiving.

    I am in- thank you so much for the motivation. I have been at a stalled weight for 2 months now so if I lose 1lb a week I would be thrilled. my goal = 7lbs down my xmas.
  • I want to join in too.. My goal is 30lbs but I see realistically I will loose half of that by Christmas... Any meals I can prepare for a family of four to maintain a under 1200 calorie diet for my self and my husband would be greatly appreciated. Thanks... :-). How does this challenge work? I am new to fitness pal.
  • I have 30lbs to go too.

    I'm in too. I will be more than happy to lose 5lbs but anything will be good. I'm recovering from recurring pericarditis and have been put on steroids for a couple of weeks to treat it, so will be grateful not to pile the weight on! Starting weight 155.4lbs. Thanks x

    In in for at least 15! I had set this in my head, but now it's out in public! Thanks!
  • I want to get down at least 12-15 pounds! It's just so hard when food is just calling your name and around the corner everywhere you go.
  • I would like to lose 15-20 pounds by Christmas.

    I'm in! :flowerforyou:
  • I Hear that !!! But together we can do this. if we only eat a bite of each yummie goodness then we will be full and still get to eat it.
    but make sure its only a bite of each thing. that is what I am going to try to do.
