Hello, I hope you don't mind me joining! I'm new to MFP and haven't joined a group before, but this looks like just what I need.
I lost 14lb between Easter and July, but haven't been trying over the summer. This is my first week of really getting back onto it. I would like to lose another 28lb, so 21lb by Christmas would be great. Especially as I have just booked a holiday for new year that will involve swimsuits (eeek!).0 -
ok I forgot to post my stats!!
Today I weighed in at 185lbs (!) eeks
I want to lose : stone and a half (21lbs)
I've changed my weigh day to Monday as the weekend always lets me down so this will hopefully keep me good!!0 -

~Welcome!!!! of course you can join. Hopefully we can make this a fun way of losing some weight before Christmas and learn new things as well, share motivation and help others.
Yay my first member!0 -
I didn't put in my weight now, did I?
I haven't weighed since Monday as I am trying to stick to just once a week. On Monday I weighed 196lb.0 -
I am literally creating my excel spreadsheet as I type! Whoop whoop so excited!0

Hello!!! Im Coco and I had already set a goal for myself to lose 50 lbs by Christmas. Thats roughly 10 per month or 2.5 per week until just around Christmas. I know I can do it if I want so this group can be my motivation!!!0

Hello I just joined the group but been on MFP for about 4 months
I've set a first goal of losing 20 pounds by Christmas about 2 weeks ago. Which would roughly average to a pound per week. Problem is, my boyfriend bought a scale and he keeps it with him so I won't end up weighing myself everyday. So he can only bring it by once a month 
I'm really hoping to see that I've been actually losing because my clothes still fit hahaha

Hello! Will weigh in tomorrow, have had a wee break from the scales as they were driving me insane! But reckon a stone and half by Christmas will makeme a happy bunny! Oh and I love thinbo by Chrimbo!0

If you want (and you don't have to this group can just be for support) post your starting weight and weigh in day. I'll pop it on my spreadsheet so we can see how everyone is doing. (yes Helen has a spreadsheet. Very sad, but geekycool right?!)
ok guys and gals, enjoy the group!0 -
I'm in; 21lbs by Thinbo Crimbo would be fab!
Starting at (gulp) 213lbs. Normally weigh Wednedsday but can do Monday if that helps.
Thanks Helen - good luck with the number crunching :bigsmile:0 -

Super speedy - thanks
Here's to a 'good' weekend - full of healthy food and lots of walks in the rain!0 -
Hi there.
I am back to MFP after a wee break. I had lost a stone and a half this year 12-12 down to 11-4. I even did a 5kkm run for charity! After that I lost a bit of motivation and then summer came - kids off school = snacking and wine Friday became wine Thursday/Fri/Sat and sometimes Sunday. My exercise levels have also gone down ...simple equation, really!!! I jumped on the scale Mon 20th Aug and was 11-10. So a bit annoyed, but it could have been worse! I loose weight quite slowly. I also don't actually use this site religiously - I know that perhaps I should, but I make most of my evening meals and the ingredients and ratios change all the time - no spag-bol is the same. In the spring, I was eating 2/3 of my usual sized meal - I eat of a lunch plate (it really works - not exact science, but good enough for me!)
This challenge couldn't be more perfect for me at this time! I would love to be under 11 stone, ideally 10-7. (pre children weight!! kids are 5,4 and 2) I have just joined another group this week - my first 2, so not quite sure what to expect / do
Good luck to everyone!0 -
ps my pic is wrong - i am using it for motivation just now!0

Pick me, Pick me. This sounds like fun. My name is Tina and I have been on mfp since May 27th. I started this journey at 158 pounds and weighed in Monday August 20th at 140.6. Would love to be added to the spreadsheet and am always looking for active friends. Thanks for setting this all up. Could you please post a link for the spreadsheet.0

Oh, sorry. I would llke to lose a pound a week, and my ULTIMATE goal is 128.0

OK so start weight 155.4lbs Chrimbo goal is 134lbs gulp! Thinbo by Chrimbo here we come!0

Hi everyone. My name is Alis. If I lose 1.5 stone by Chrimbo I will have reached my target of 140lbs. It's very achieve able if we work on it .
What day will friends be weighing in ( I don't mind changing mine to the majority)?
When does it start?
Do we change our ticker? We can change it back after Chrimbo.
Let's do it and EAT LESS for XMAS.0 -
I have most of the info down, with the different weigh in days. I realise some people might not want to change their weigh in days but next weekend I'll be posting any progress etc.
My ticker is already set at 0 because this is me starting again in a way anyway but yeah it's a good idea if people want to do that.
This weekend I am mostly collecting the info so we officially start on the Monday I guess? I am very open to suggestions. This is your group so let me know what you want from it and want to see.
The goals set are very achievable and hopefully we will all learn something along the way as well?
Does everyone want to commit to a weigh in day of Monday? or Saturday?0 -
Hi Helen. I just joined because 21 pounds by Christmas would bring me to my goal weight so this group title, I felt, was talking to me. I joined mfp in January and had lost 14 pounds. In June, I hurt my back and was laid up for 6 weeks. Slowly, I have gotten better, but am missing exercise terribly. Since June, I have put 6 pounds back on. I wasn't facing it here on mfp. I was ignoring the weight gain and keeping the 14 pounds lost on my ticker. I just changed all that last night, which depressed me. I do not want to be depressed. I need to continue losing the weight I have set out to lose. I started my weight loss journey at 164. My goal weight is 135. This group will be a big part of my motivation and I look forward to checking in often. I would like to weigh in on Monday's if that is what the group decides.0

Hi Helen, I'll weigh in on Monday's it'll keep me accountable over the weekend!
Im away at the moment so not had a chance to weigh myself but I think I've put on a few pounds so ill go with 146lbs!
By Christmas I want to weigh around 136 pounds so my aim will be to lose 10 pounds, if I lose anymore I won't look right- I'm 5'8
Will 'officially' weigh in on Monday when I get back home to my trustworthy scales!

I love that there is a spreadsheet :P
My name is Jenna, I'd like to lose one stone by Christmas. I normally weigh-in Sunday, but I can go with Monday if that's easier.
My current weight (as of last Sunday) is 133lbs. My height is 5ft 3. So 120lbs would be ideal I think.
I'm actually trying out the 5:2 intermittent fasting plan at the moment, so will be interested to see how it goes.0 -
I have edited the official weight graph and stickied it so you can all revert to it easily. Check it out!
Don't worry people I do have a life but I'm just dead excited by this weight loss group because I really think we can all do it. It's only 17 weeks! Just one big push!
Yay
