    Finally, I have an additional goal to add to Christmas deadline. I have never in my entire life been able to do a proper pushup. By Christmas, I want to do 10 perfect no-knee pushups nose to the floor style. Let's do this!

    Have you ever tried Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred workout dvds? I'm in the process of doing it & can finally do some decent pushups! I would have never been able to before discovering her workouts. :) Last night, I was able to do 10 consecutive pushups before switching over to the modified knee pushups.

    I'd love to get under 200 by Christmas! I could also use the motivation because it'll be harder to eat right once I'm home for winter break.

    Current : 208.5
    Goal: <199.9

    Hey, I'm looking for some motivation and thought I would be more successful with my weight loss if I found some other people to join in. Looking to lose 15 lbs by Christmas. (also getting rid of my leftover pregnancy weight gain).
    We can do weigh ins every 2 weeks to keep us motivated. Anyone else in?
    Starting weight: 146
    Goal weight: 131

    That will be a great motivation to each other thats exacly what i was looking for thank you!
    YOU ALL CAN ADD ME! WE CAN MAKE A REALLY GOOD GROUP AND MAKE THIS GOAL POSSIBLE!
    I WAS IN NEED OF NEW GOOD SUPPORTIVE AND MOTIVATED FRIENDS I ALSO WANT TO LOSE 10 POUNDS BY XMAS LEST DO IT!! :)

    Just started using my fitnesspal again. I was using LIVESTRONG but half the time the nutrition tracker wasn't working. Anyway, I'm not as ambitious but I think 6 lbs will be doable. Even with all the holiday goodies around me!

    now: 149
    mini goal: 143

    Jillian will definitely whip you into shape! I did it a few years ago and although I'm fairly athletic, I got a GREAT workout. Be careful, though! One of my friends got a stress fracture in her foot while doing it!

    Being 145 by Christmas would be lovely!
    I am definitely going to indulge in this challenge.

    Although I don't have a very accurate scale in my room..should probably fix that.
    I'm off to go work out :)

    Ok, I'll take part. 15 lbs is about 6-7 kgs (I live in Sydney, Australia).

    28th Oct - current weight is 65.8 kg (about 144lbs) so it'll be wonderful to be approaching less than 60 kg by Christmas

    11th Nov - next weigh in

    Xmas day target - 59 kg

    See you then, fingers crossed. Good luck everyone!

    I think this is great and would love to help motivate people and be a support (feel free to add me if you actively log and keep an open diary!) but I feel like Christmas is only 9 weeks away and 15 pounds is a lot to loose by then. Plus with Thanksgiving and Christmas, I would like to enjoy a little of the holiday eating this time around. So, I'm aiming for a 5 pound loss.

    I need some motivation. I haven't been accountable to anyone but myself so this may work. 15 pounds maybe a reach but I will give it try.

    I'm already down 5, and my goal is to lose 20 lbs by Christmas, so I found this post at the perfect time! Feel free to add me on here, I'm always looking for more friends and more support.

    We got this, guys! And all of our families and friends will see us at Christmastime and say, "ooh, damn, you look great! Have you been losing weight?"
