Hi All

Im sure its somethig thats already started and if it has, point me in the right direction:)

I want to have all of my weight off by Christmas.... I want to look good and be healthy and wondered if there was anyone else out there with similar goals? Add me as a friend and maybe we can encourage one another?

Thanks :)

    Me too. That's 53 pounds for me. I have a few mini-goals along the way, but Christmas is the ultimate in what will by then have been a 2 1/2 year journey to lose 100 pounds.

    Sure we can do mini goals to keep us motivated. What do you think about the goals being either exercise or weight? Let me know your ideas!

    If I am counting the correct way we have weeks til Christmas (starting today).

    If you lose a pound a week, that is 26 pounds by Christmas!

    If you lose 2 pounds a week, that is 52 pounds by Christmas!

    I would be happy with a pound a week til Christmas...that would put me 3 pounds from my goal! Maybe I will have a couple weeks of over 1 pound so I can meet my goal!

    My goal is 29 more pounds,so we are right at the same goal! I started TurboFire last week, so as far as exercise goals goes for me I am making it a goal to get through each week going by the TurboFire scheduled classes. If I can make it through 20 weeks of TurboFire along with eating well I know I will get to my goal!

    I didn't eat good at all today because it was our ten year anniversary and we wanted to go to the Japanese Steakhouse today. My husband and I are both trying to lose about 30 pounds, and tonight we both agreed to get back on track and not tempt eachother with bad foods.

    I do...I only have one friend on here and that is my best friend who just found out she is pregnant, so I'd love to join and get encouragement. I have about 40 lbs to lose. My problem is I have a couple of good days then I reward myself with food!

    Totally! I am new to this site and need the encouragement. I want all my weight off before my baby brother comes home on leave in November from Afghanistan. I am doing the Couch to 5k program and the Flat Belly Diet, kind of.

    Let's all make sure we all check in with one another at least once a week? Sometimes I don't always get a chance to respond every day but I'm trying hard.

    Really great to have all you guys!!!! Will we continue to communicate through this or via posts on our own personal wall?

    HAve you all set any personal goals for yourselves today?

    I think I am going ot start the 30 day shred now that I have limited amounts of stress now!LOL

    I think definitely on here - it's really easy to miss wall posts, plus if we're all on each other's friends lists, we could lose track of people. I'm happy to volunteer to post a weekly update here if people want to message me with their stuff. What does everyone think?

    And of course, anyone who is not on my FL, do feel free to add me, but as Fa said, please leave a message with the request so I know who you are! Ta muchly!

    Hi

    I think youre right!

    I feel that sometimes I forget and that people will think that I am not responding or just not keeping up.

    Very good idea :)

    Also add me on facebook if you want!
