    You can do it! I would like to be around 150 by Christmas... and that is 35 pounds from where I am now.

    I also hope to be below 200 by Christmas. I just started and have lost 9 lbs in 2 wks. This site has been the biggest help. I don' t have to figure anything out. Good luck to all

    I'm with you and we can do it, I'm amazed I've lost 7 lbs since the 7th so anything is possible. Just stick with it, you'll do great, baby steps.....slow and steady is the ticket if you want to keep it off :)

    That's my goal too but at the rate I'm losing, I don't think I will make it ... I might get pretty close though ... When I started eating right, I weighed 240.. When I joined this site, I weighed 230 .. I just hit the 218 mark but that's after the scales stayed at 221 for three weeks straight.. I had to increase my calories recently because I was feeling weak and hungry all the time...I've found that it's safer to lose it more slowly, as frustrating as that is.

    I'm right with you. I have 35lbs to go. If I'm the way I am this week, every week, I might make it.

    I would love to, I have 40 more lbs. to lose and it has taken me almost a year to lose this past 40 lbs. It's hard for me to see it happening with me :-(. Wow, what a fabulous Christmas gift to myself that would be! I am going to continue to try! Best wishes to you!!

    I'm with you! Hypothyroid is making this weight loss excrutiatingly difficult, so might as well entertain myself with a goal. Had gained 35 pounds in pregnancy, thyroid problem started, never got back to anything less then 200 since then. I've dragged myself back on the weight loss wagon after broken knee cap stopped my active life and I had eaten my frustrations back to 218/220. Motivated, fully involved in rehab to get my life back. Under 200 is the sweet spot! Let's go...

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE....WE CAN DO IT!

    I haven't been below 200 in 11 years since I gained 116 lbs on depression and anxiety pills!

    Every year I say I'm gonna get to 199 (my ultimate goal is another 30 lbs below that) and every year I fail myself.

    This year I've lost about 1/2 the hair on my head - still don't know why but I'm convinced it's from the medications I was on from my asthma (which also makes it nearly impossible to exercise) so I'm at my ultimate low.

    I really need something to boost me up and if I can FINALLY get to my short-term goal by the end of this year, maybe I'll feel better about things - although at this rate, I'm thinking I'll be shopping for a new wig in 2013, more so than shopping for smaller clothes!
