    Well this is convenient lol.....I was just talking to another gal at work about wanting to lose 10lbs by xmas. I also would like to run a 5k. My ultimate goal is 20lbs but 10 is a good amount for this time frame I think. Im 5'5" 166.2 as of this morning!

    I want to get to 150 or less, which is a loss of 13 lbs from now.
    I want to be able to do 25 real pushups.
    The rest of what may happen I will find out on the 15th at the black belt pre-test. Either I will be do well enough to join the candidates class for the October black belt test, or I will have to wait to try again in February. We'll see.

    Good luck with your goals everyone!

    I'm in!!

    SW: 155
    GW: 135
    Exercise Goals:
    -Complete ChaLEAN Extreme
    -Complete C25K Treadmill (a slightly modified version)

    The weight goals are definitely going to be challenging, but I think it is manageable.

    I am starting ChaLEAN Extreme today and plan to substitute the cardio days with a slightly modified C25K Treadmill program. I'm planning on using the C25K program two days a week & extending each C25K "week" into a two week period...4 days of the same intervals total. That should get me right to Christmas. :-D

    I am in! I am currently 250 lbs. Not really losing lbs. right now, but losing inches. Since the scale is not moving, but changes are happening, I will make an inches goal. I am currently in a size 20, and would like to be down to at least a size 18 by Christmas. I would also like to make sure I don't fall off the wagon during the holidays like I did last year. If I have a holiday treat, I will log it! I am training for a 5k, and hope to at least finish the race, even if I have to walk some of it.

    This is great timing--I am attending a wedding in Mexico on Dec 15th and I want to feel good about wearing a bathing suit while I'm there. I also may be having surgery right after the wedding which would keep me from working out for several weeks, so it's really important to me that I get to my goal before the surgery.
    SW is about 120
    GW is 110

    I'm good about working out 5-6 days/week but I struggle with diet. The only thing that works for me is to avoid processed foods, sugar, gluten, and dairy. Otherwise I feel like garbage and it shows in my body and skin.

    Good luck to you all!

    I'll do it!!!
    I'm 5'10'', and currently weigh 155 lbs
    My goal weight now is 145, and my UGW is 135(ish)
    I'm a figure skater and dancer, so that's why it might seem low.
    I'm going to florida with my family right after Christmas, so i would absolutely LOVE to be at least 10-15 lbs lighter to feel confident in my bikini(:
    I try to walk/run a 3-mile loop near my house every day/every other day, and my calorie intake is 1400-1500. Feel free to add me as a friend! I wanted to keep my profile anonymous, so I'm actually a few years younger than 22(:
    LETS DO THIS :flowerforyou: :happy: :tongue:

    I am in! I am 25ish pounds away from my goal weight and I need some motivation!

    I'm Jessica.

    I'm 5'9"

    STARTING WEIGHT (11/2011): 223

    CW: 168.7
    GW: 145
    UGW: 145

    Current BMI: 24.9
    Goal BMI: 21.4

    Not sure if I'll be able to get all the weight off by Dec. 15, but I'm certainly going to try! My weight loss has slowed considerably since I've already lost about 55 pounds.

    I'm on week 3 of insanity right now, I play softball til November, and I walk my 2 dogs frequently! After insanity, I think I'm going to do a Jillian Michaels DVD like 30DS?

    Hit a bit of a wall lately and need some positive people to keep me motivated and push me along!!

    I'm Andy, completed C25K a few months back and also completed my first 5K race :) Since then things have slipped on the running front although I have been hitting the gym quite a lot. Live in the UK in Pontefract, the home of Haribo Sweets... which isn't good :D

    Would like to be under 200lbs by xmas if possible :)

    Hi I'd like to do the challenge. I'm 5'4" and 185 lbs. In 90 days I would like to be down to 165 lbs and ultimately I'd like to get to 135-140. I tried to do a challenge this summer, had some limited success but then things got busy and I fell off my plan big time. I know things are going to get busy again. I really need strategies to help stay on track. Grocery shopping, cooking, planning, logging food, exercising...it all takes time. I really need to do better this time! Thanks for organizing this challenge!
