    Were you asking in general or to a specific person???
    well here is the break down again :wink:
    WE NOW HAVE 89 DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS,,, THATS 13 WEEKS!
    1 LB PER WEEK IS 13 LBS LIGHTER THAN YOU ARE RIGHT NOW.....
    1.5 LBS A WEEK IS 0VER 19LBS LIGHTER THAN YOU ARE RIGHT NOW
    AND A WELL PLANNED, WELL EXECUTED COMMITMENT TO 2 LBS A WEEK- IS 26 LBS LIGHTER THAN YOU ARE RIGHT NOW!! THIS IS STILL POSSIBLE!!
    I would suggest to add a few EXTRA workouts to your week, this is assuming you are already working out at least 3x's a week

    Wow, long night...we had to do inventory at my job so I just got home!! So late!! Just wanted to check in and read everyone's responses...didn't plan my meals to well and ended up eat Jack in the box!! Uh oh.

    I just wanted to see what everyone is doing to get their exercise in..and how often and how long everyone is planning on exercising.

    Night everyone.

    Well I followed through on my plan to stay within my calories yesterday. And I did day one of C25K on the treadmill last night too. I can't believe I did the whole thing!! Granted it's only cycles of jogging for 60 seconds, but I did all the cycles without stopping. Yay!

    Congrats to everyone who lost this week!!:flowerforyou:

    I was at 195 this morning. Hoping to see less than that next week.

    I enjoy a challenge. I think I'll hop on this one and see how close I get.
    I've had a consistent loss for weeks now so I just might be able to pull this off!
    So, we'll see what happens...

    Is it too late to get started? If you count the 5 lbs I lost this week then I am on my way to 30 lbs gone by Christmas. I have been doing this for about 10 days is all. Gonna do the very best I can. 30lbs will put me under 200lbs for the the first time in about 5 years.

    Kara don't put too much pressure on yourself. You will see as long as you are losing something and staying on your target each day, your going to feel great come Christmas no matter your weight. You can do it but do it for YOU:flowerforyou:

    I am in, too. I really want to lose 30 by Christmas. I know that I have lost a few pounds already. I really want to have baby #2 and I am getting close to 40. I have to do it now or my chances of having another will be zero.
