    Hello all,

    There is a group called lose 30 by Christmas 2012 if you're interested. Not everyone is going for 30lbs, but it's great motivation! Good luck!

    I'm in as well...I'd be happy with any loss but 10-15lbs by Christmas would be sweet :love:
    My 2012 goal was a size medium for Christmas so I'd be just as happy with that.

    SW: 186
    Christmas Goal : 171 - 176
    GW: 155 -160

    Would be nice to loss 15 pounds by then but with only 9 weeks to go that's over 1.5 pounds a week. I'll join the group tho and take whatever loss I can achieve.

    Current Weight: 179
    Xmas Goal: 164

    Grrrr doesnt help that I'm in a plateau right now.

    I'd like to lose about 10 by then. 15 would rock, but I think realistically I'd be lucky for... like 8 lbs. Just needs to be over 5lbs!

    Then I'll be at where I was last xmas before the holiday gain...which I'm avoiding this year under all costs!


    138 now
    wanna be 130 (125 would rock!)

    I want in!!! I am 207. My first goal will be to get to 192 by Christmas. This is going to be quite challenging through the holidays but very possible. Would love to have some of you add me to help keep me on track with this goal because my ultimate goal is to be 30 pounds or more lighter by next Summer. The more support the better.:)

    I have never responded to anything on MFP before, but have hit a rut. I think a challenge may be what I need. I am in!!

    I'd love to loose 15# by Christmas. My weight yo-yos & I've been stuck at 140 for months. I also lift so this is going to be hard.

    So, beginning my challenge of losing these 10 pounds....I am starting with 1200 cal. and exercsing at least 30 mins. a day. (Actually started Monday) So I already got up and did my 30 min on the treadmill - walking at 3.5 . I have already drank my Mean Green Juice. (Homemade) Have my dinner and snack planned out and only have to worry about lunch today!! Lucky I have a whole foods next to my office. I also have my water bottle filled and planned on meeting my water intake today!!!!

    Have a happy healthy day!!!!

    I'm in! 5'8" and 165 lbs now, hoping to eventually get down to 140 (I know this can't happen by Christmas but a jumpstart can't hurt!)

    I started off eating 1,200 cals/day but have a feeling that my overall lack of weight loss may be a sign that this isn't enough for my body. I've bumped it up to 1,400-1,500 a day as well as doing the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga DVD because I can't get motivated for the gym (I know, I know) as much as possible. Tonight I'm attending my first Zumba class. Let's do this!!

    Yes, count me in! I've never joined a group before, but would love to be down to 120lbs by Christmas.
    Right now at 135lbs.
    Something to help motivate me I lost 54 lbs 7yrs ago. I kept it off even after having my wonderful son.
    My plan has always been to be at 120 but never get below 130 to often. I think I just got comfortable in mantaining.:smile:

    CW 156
    Goal 141 at Christmas...
    My long term goal is to wear a bikini on a cruise in April and NOT be one of THOSE women that really should have on a 1 piece lol...
    I recently finished a challenge of doing Rockin' Body X 30 days starting with a 3 day cleanse. I lost 8 lbs but need something new to do now. I try to run at least 3x a week but lots of life gets in the way.
    I think, make that I know, my diet is the biggest thing holding me back. I love to bake and I eat what I bake. I have a HUGE weakness for chocolate. I think being accountable and literally posting my weight will help A LOT.

    I'd love to join! Also, everyone feel free to add me as a friend! I love supporting MFP buddies :)

    SW: 148
    GW: 140

    So I have 8 lbs to lose, but it's the last 8 so I'm sure it'll be tough enough! Especially over the holiday season. Just means I need to be more conscious of what I'm putting in my body.
