Hello everyone, I have 1 more stone left to lose and I'd love to go into the new year at my goal weight. So there are 14 weeks til Christmas, and 14 pounds in a stone, you do the maths :) I'm going to stick to my goal of 2lbs per week because some weeks I lose nothing. Good luck everyone!

    Hi, I have more than 1 stone to go to get to final goal but I am more focused on my holiday in 86 days. :smile: 1 stone off for that would be great, even more would be amazing.

    Hi there, thought I would join this group, I just joined this site last week, I have been doing my best to get back into the gym this week even at 30 mins a day 2 or three times a week around looking after my kids. I have about 3 stone to lose, but losing a stone before Christmas would be fab, and hopefully realistic for me, I would feel so much better!

    Good luck, and well done,

    Louise xx

    Hi all, I'm in too. Have put on a lot of weight recently and really feel the need to lose it. Having an additional goal of a stone by christmas will hopefully drive me on :D

    Hi everyone! This year I got below 11 stone, and would love to get below 10 st for Christmas. I live abroad, so it'll be great to surprise my friends and family with such a fantastic transformation!

    Hope to motivate and be motivated here :)

    Count me in! I would love to lose a stone by Christmas and even better would be 2 stones (that would put me at the lower end of my ideal weight) But I am realistic and a stone would be terrific, as I get closer to my goal it is harder to lose a pound.

    Well, I've decided its time to lose some so it might as well be interesting and gets me to around where I want to be. I'm expecting quite a challenge straight out of the starting blocks and minus lots of my current creature comforts :)

    Just logged in for the first time in a long while after my co-workers and I decided to revive our support/e group - fight the holiday part bulge and do a challenge starting in the new year. When I saw this group I thought it was a perfect challenge to get me started and back in good habits.

    Hi, rejoined MFP last week after a disaster of a summer so I'm back and want to go something achievable and this looks perfect! It's not my goal weight but it will be a hell of a step in the right direction!

    Anyone looking for new buddies please feel free to add me :)

    Just joined this group, I am already in the Chrimbo weight loss group, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/8014-crimbo-weight-loss

    so hopefully a bit of extra tracking will help although i have nearer 4 stone to lose eventually

    Hi everyone!

    So I have 10 more pesky pounds to lose... and I know they'll be the hardest to shift!

    I'd love to be a part of this group, as I *need* the motivation for this final big push. A loss of 14lbs would put me just under my target weight (140lbs) - which would mean that I didn't need to worry about over indulging at Christmas :blushing:
