ONEDerland by Christmas!! Who's IN???

I saw another post here about 19 weeks, and was going to jump in, but realized I missed that by a month :) So I did the math and I'm about 21 pounds from ONEDERLAND! What a MASSIVE Christmas present to myself that would be! :)

I'm hovering at 220 and change (think a little water weight has me up about .5 lb)..

21 pounds would put me FIRMLY in ONEderland. It's less than 1.5/week, and it's EXACTLY 15 weeks until Christmas Day.

I haven't seen that weight in over 18 years - and my husband has never seen me at that weight :)

Is anyone else in the same boat? join up!

Let's Do this!!

    Wow this is absolutely perfect for me! Not too easy - not impossible, a perfect challenge! :D I am excited. I have 28 lbs to lose to get to 199lbs. luckily its coming off fast for me - I am hoping I won't plateau any time soon!

    I am IN!
  • I need a challenge! I just started back on MFP and am at 212! I know I can get to Onederland by Christmas! Hopefully I can get well into Onederland. Looking forward to this challenge.

    Ok folks. Considering starting a group, a bit hesitant only because it will only be active for 3 months or so... if you think we should ill start it in the morning.. had one vote for it already. :) that or we just keep updating here in this thread.. opinions?

    On second thought, just because we have a goal of christmas doesn't mean we can't continue motivating eachother. Might be a good thing to carry through..

    OK FOLKS!

    I hadn't heard back as to yay or nay...

    so I created a Group for us. Since we are a mish-mosh of goals here, I called it: Christmas Challenge so that leaves it open for all of us, AND open to carry through to next year:)

    it's a public group so head on over and add a post to the Introductions thread..

    and HERE WE GO!!!

    You can still set a goal for Dec 25 if you want - even if it's not Onederland - I made a Group called "Christmas Challenge"

    I so want in. However, I normally weigh in every other friday at the doctors. I will use my scale on those days and hopefully it wont be that different from the doctors. I am currently 227...so being below 200...OMG would be amazing.

    I'm in. I have about 45 pounds to get there, but just working hard toward that goal will be a present enough. I'm not doing so well in the motivation department lately.
