    You can do that. 50 pounds is my goal and I would love to have it off by Christmas. What a great gift for myself. If any one wants some support to make this happen let me know.

    Apparently I have reached my max friend request (25) today. Ahhh. LOL.

    Hello everyone!
    I think 50 is doable depending on where you are in your weight loss journey. I would LOVE to lose that much, but am truly aiming for 30 more by then. I welcome anyone to friend me who is seeking/providing encouragement and motivation. (Negative Nellys need not apply!) :D

    I'm making this my goal, too! I think it's attainable, but I need you all to help keep me accountable :) Add me so we can support each other. I'm new to MFP, and I really want to stick to it. I know I can't do it alone, though.

    This looks awesome, I want in!

    To be honest I'm hoping for a little more than 50 by Christmas but I take what I can get since sometimes I can go a good month or two without the scale moving and then suddenly there's a drop o.O

    Feel free to add me anyone ^_^

    This is AWESOME. My birthday is the week before Christmas! If I made this goal (or close to it) I would feel amazing. Please add me as a friend. I need lots of motivation. I have tried several times to lose weight and I fail. Thanks!

    Me too me too :-)

    I've been kind of focused on my birthday... as it's in October... but I think a Christmas goal is more motivating at this point... I think it will help me work through the holidays too.

    Tagging on to this... how much weight do you feel is realistic by October 21?

    I'm just trying to figure out some "targets" right now... which is hard. I'm 232 right now and 5' 3"

    I've already lost just over 8 pounds since starting in THIS time... and only a few since restarting with MFP.

    Thoughts? Motivation?

    It's been inspiring to read others stories... last time I didn't do this whole community thing... but I'm going to give it a go :-)

    We all know what it's like to have tough days and plateaus and lack of motivation and loss of sight of a goal... and I think this could be the motivation I need too.

    We can do this!

    I created a group, Called 50 lbs by Christmas!
    Please join the group so we can support and encourage each other.
    Perhaps each Friday we can have a weigh in, where every body can post their weekly loss and total loss .
    Starting today, July 24, it gives us exactly 5 months till Christmas.

    So come on!! Let's all have a Very Merry Christmas

    Perhaps each MONDAY, since Christmas Eve lands on Monday.

    I lost 50 lbs between January 10-July 17 of this year. That is 189 days. Today to December 25th is 154. you might not make 50, or you might, but if you don't try, you'll never even come close :D

    I set a 50 lb. weight loss goal for Christmas as well. I think it's doable as long as you stick with it!

    You can so do it. Take it one day at a time or even one meal at a time and anything is possible. Good Luck and keep up the good work.
