    My goal is 3 lbs a week, roughly 12 lbs a month. So far I am right on track, I've lost 37 lbs in 3 mos. I still have 6 lbs to go toward making my Sept goal so that combined with my Oct goal I want to lose a total of 18 lbs by Halloween. You can add me if you want even though our goals are slightly different. Good luck!

    Not sure if I can lose 20 pounds by Christmas, but I'm willing to try. My weight has been coming off slowly. I walk for exercise. Can't do a lot of heavy exercise due to my arthritis. I do watch my calories - eating 1200 calories or less a day. Once in a while a little more. Rarely do I eat junk food anymore. It doesn't even appeal to me. Except for sugar - I do miss it. Fruit helps.

    I've lost 56 pounds since February. I'd like to lose 19-29 more. I would love to join. What do I do to join. I've been on MFP for a while but this is my first visit to the forum.: :smile:

    I was just looking to add some friends who are on the same line as me and would like to work towards the same goal. There is a group though that I am signed up with and you can access it here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/8557-let-s-lose-20-pounds-by-christmas
    They do weekly weigh ins and im sure everyone can post helpful tips and etc..

    As Malicent said the hunger games... I have the exact same problem as you do, and water doesn't help. I think you can do it if you put your mind to it!

    Try more protein! That helps me.

    I wish I could do this!!! I have hunger problems. I'll do well for a few days and then I'll be hungry again as if I hadn't eaten for days. :sick:

    I think this is about blood sugar levels, have u spoken to your doctor about your diet? Mine helped me to work out why i way getting really hungry at times.

    Nice! Enjoy your trip when you go! :) I agree, I'm so happy I heard about this website. Now I'm debating on ordering a fitbit.

    You will love the fitbit! But wait for the new one. It's called fitbit one. It will be bluetooth whereas the one I have has to be near its little antenna station. The new one will sync with your smart phone by bluetooth. Thinking about buying that one.

    I also have a nike fuel bracelet. Like it, too; but not as much as the fitbit.
