DITTO...Count me in! BTW- it is a good idea that you bypass the fast food places until you are able to order healthier choices. I've been down that road and it is hard; but you can do it! Baby steps and one day at a time...

I had the same thought process! 50lbs by Christmas was my exact goal lol. Im down 15 so far but I would love someone with the same ideas to do this with me. Its also a smaller goal for me in the large scheme of things. Add Me!!

Count me in, i do need some challenge to be able to stay focus.

beemaloy · June 2012

I want to get to my goal by November, and I am about halfway there so this fits right in. I basicallly have around 40 more pounds to go!

djnsrn · June 2012

I have a similiar goal, but I want to lose 15 more by August 1, then 30 MORE by Christmas. I've already lost 26 pounds, but it's been slow going. YES the fast food problem rears it's ugly head every now and then when I am pressed for time and my family is yelling "feed us now!" Those Wendy's fries know me by name! I am looking into eating whole foods and less sugar to see if that will help with the belly fat I want to lose. I'm also trying to be a motivation to my husband...another slow-going start, but I think I'm making progress there too :-)

Add me!!! I am stuck on a plateau but would like to lose another 30 pounds

randisaucier · June 2012

Add me in! I graduate from nursing school two weeks prior to Christmas, so losing 40 (or more would be great too) by then would be fantastic!

eresin · June 2012

cound me in! I've got 40lbs to lose and would like to do so by xmas

My goal is to lose 50 lbs by September - but that may not be realistic enough. Christmas seems a bit more reasonable and enough for cheating! I'm in! I

I am already in a challenge to lose 30lbs by September 1st so 40lbs by Christmas seems reasonable and a good way to help me feel driven to keep the weight coming off! I've been looking for a Christmas Challenge.

I have a personal goal to accomplish and its 52 by 52.
I want to lose 52 lbs by my 52nd birthday.
I just joined in May so this challenge will go hand in had with my personal goal.
Am I crazy for thinking I can do this by Oct 6th? Any thoughts out there.
I have lost 11 so far.

@ DJNSRN >>> (not sure how to reply to you on this board)
Back when I was eating french fries everythime we went to fast food it was awesome for the taste buds but obviously horrible on the waist line (or lack there of). I decided one day never to order fries for myself again, but too have a few from someone elses order. This has helped me alot since then. Once I put it into practice, it just became a habit. It's been years now.
Hope that helps

My best friend just lost 50 lbs in 16 weeks with the help of MFP.
A lot of hard work and dedication but she did it and looks amazing!

scrapatak · June 2012

Feel free to add me. I have lost14 lbs in a little under 5 weeks. I want to lose 68 lbs more minimum and would really love to have 50 of it off by Christmas.

sunflare74 · June 2012

Flab2fitfi · June 2012

Add me - 29 weeks to lose 40lbs that is doable.

vibeinthecity · June 2012

I'm in! That'd be great! I mean I have 70 to lose...I'd love to think by Christmas but I'm not sure 3 lbs a week is going to happen for me...though...
