    10 lbs. by Christmas? You can DO IT! If you want it BAD enough and are willing to do what you NEED TO DO, you can reach that goal!! I have the same goal, though I started about 3 weeks ago. I am halfway there! LEt's do this TOGETHER!!

    Love it! THANKS! Join our group!! :) Seems like you bring a lot of positivity!

    Positivity is the name of the game! There's no WAY we can accomplish what we are trying to accomplish being negative! I am a stron believer that your STATE OF MIND = STATE OF BEING! So I aim to keep a premier mindset at all times! I want others to do the same.

    What's the group?

    I wish you all the best of luck, but I'd sure like to see you check in next year at this time. This focus on fast weight loss, along with setting unrealistic goals is possibly going to backfire. If you notice, the people on MFP who have been the most successful over the long haul are the ones who made moderate, sustainable changes over a long period of time.

    I'm wondering why you think 5-10 lbs is unrealistic? There's four weeks until Christmas - Weight Watchers states that 1-2 lbs per week is maintainable when following their program properly - which means 4-8lbs.
    I don't think that it's so much about short term goals (which are not necessarily bad) as I do about following a plan and being committed to a group until Christmas. Just because Christmas is the time line, doesn't mean that goals are ignored come the 25th.
