    I'm so in need of a kick in the pants. Been feeling very discouraged lately. The first week I dropped 3-4 lbs, but I've been holding steady now for several weeks.

    I'm in a wedding just after Thanksgiving, and I'm going skiing in Colorado the first week in December. So alright, here goes. At 167 now, so I would like to be at 160 by Thanksgiving, and 150 by Christmas. I'm going to try for more than that, but just this would be a great start.

    Thanks for all the encouragement I've gotten just from reading other people's posts. It really has helped me realize that it is a constant struggle, but that though I may lose some battles I can still win the war. Thanks guys!

    I was actually just thinking about this. And how hard it is going to be around the holidays... my family isn't so bad, but my boyfriend's family is always encouraging you to EAT EAT! on the holidays... I logged my food for today, and if every day is like today, I will lose 9 pounds by december 11. So count me in on the challenge, i hope to lose 15!

    I would love to do this except I don't know how much I weigh, so I can't give a goal, but I can give what I would like to be by then, and that is 200 lbs or less.

    :laugh: yeah I'm with ya there banks, I don't know what to put down for christmas. I know:tongue: getting on the scale can be my christmas present to myself:tongue: yeah and about the belt, banks thats my next purchase. I simply can't keep using the old one as I would have to put holes in it now. That's how I know this is working for me. Yea I get to go shopping.:bigsmile:

    Count me in too! I just started all of this yesterday but I am going to set my goal at 12 pounds by Christmas Eve! That puts me back to where I was this time last year and a fresh start by New Year's!

    Good luck to everyone else! It's a hard battle but remember it's a war you can win! :drinker:

    I've been so discouraged. This may help! I want to be 190 by Christmas. This will be my present to myself. It's only 10 pounds, but I've been having trouble sticking to the excersize. The eating part is actually easy for me... well the lack of. LOL. Anyway, 190, I'm in!
