I'm psyched up for this challenge! Since joining MFP in April of this year I've found that these challenge groups really help me stay on track. I was embarrassed to even consider sharing my weight when I first joined, but now I'm proud of it. Please do not feel you need to share yours, if you don't wish to. It's just that I haven't seen this weight since before my marriage 24 years ago.
I'm a large framed 5', 3.25" woman.
Day 1: 152.5lbs
Goal weight for this challenge: 144.5lbs
Ultimate goal weight: 120 lbs
Alright! Let's get this losing party started!!! Woo!!!

I started yesterday and got on the scale this morning for the first time in months. I almost died. I've gained back 15 lbs that I worked hard to lose. Now I have to lose it AGAIN. I'm so mad at myself. I am going to lose 5-7 of those lbs by Christmas. I CAN DO IT!0

Hi all!
I'm not to dissimilar to a few of you here having weight creeping back up after neglecting MFP for a while. This looks like a perfect challenege.
I am 5'7" and 160lbs
Christmas goal: 153
Ultimate goal: 133
Goals
1. Keep up with my run schedule (including cross trainng sessions) - today was day 1 (2miles) of half marathon training
2. Cut the sugar as much as I can
3. Log everything
4. By Christmas hoping to have lost 7lbs by achieving above goals
Today I have had a porridge and almond milk breakfast and for lunch I had scrambled egg with spinach, tomato and chilli flakes with a slice of toasted granary bread.
WE CAN DO THIS!!0 -

Hey everyone!
I'm 5' 2.75"
I haven't weighed myself in a while, since it's a trigger for some of the mental health problems i have, but I'm going to start weighing every day starting December 1. But I'm guestimating my weight to be around 145.
My goal by Christmas is as close to my ultimate goal as possible.
My ultimate goal is 130 lbs.
Goals: Working out every day. This means pilates and 30DS.
Eating more healthily. Fewer muffins.
Be nicer to my body and mind.0 -

Hey guys, super excited to be doing this with all of you! This is the first group challenge I have been a part of on MFP and I'm determined to make every day of the next moth count!
Day 1:
5'8
Current Weight: 150 pounds
Christmas goal: 144 pounds
Ultimate goal weight: 138 pounds
Day 1 is going really well, no excess snacking which I know from my past logs I always had such a big problem with. Hopefully it will stay like this!
Goals for challenge and the future:
No unhealthy snacking, even if it would still get me under my calorie goal. Completely clean eating!
Get more workouts in! Something I really don't have a lot of time for during the week days with school but going to be trying my best to at least hit the gym 3 times a week!
Super excited, let's do this guys! :drinker:0 -
Hello!
I'm looking to drop more inches than anything. I currently wear a 33,5" waist and have a bunch of nice jeans in 32" that I'm eager to fit into for the annual family holiday get together.
Challenge start weight: 71kg
Christmas goal weight: 67kg
Ultimate goal: 61kg
So I'm looking to drop 8,8, or just about 9 lbs. I'm confident that we can all reach our goals!0 -
Good evening!
Day 1 was a good day healthy living wise!
Breakfast- Fruit n yogurt parfait and diet soda from McDonald's. Didn't eat much of the fruit since it was frozen solid.
Lunch- Water; Turkey chili with a baked potato and shredded cheese. I work in a cardiac hospital, so it's all "heart healthy". Ate about half of the chili but it was on the potato.
No time for a snack today. Work was wayyyy too busy!
Dinner- We got off of work late. We stopped by K&W cafeteria for dinner. It was between that and a super yummy burger place, but I knew I could make better choices at the cafeteria. I got broiled fish, macaroni and cheese (ate half), yams (ate half), and pumpkin pie (ate all of it). Water.
Snack: Tried the apple cider k-cup. Only drank half- it's fake sweet and not good.
Good: I'm under my calorie goal, I planned ahead and I drank a ton of water. I didn't get dedicated exercise but I worked my tail off at work today and DH and I walked into work instead of riding the bus from the parking lot.
Ok: Coulda made better choices at dinner, but I'm ok with what I made.0 -
Day 1 went well. First day back to working out and logging food. Under calories but off on macros. I have to up my protein tomorrow.
Did okay even with stress. Downing water tonight to reach that 110 ounce goal.0 -
The past 30 days were pretty pathetic so this is for redemption. Ha! I did have a surprise this morning when I weighed in for the first time in weeks and managed a 2 pound loss. I needed that motivation to go on.
My Day:
1. Log food & exercise daily
> yes
2. Stay at or under calorie goal
> yes
3. Under 30 grams sugars daily
> no 35
4. Lose 1 or more pounds (any loss would make me happy at this point!)
> TBD
5. Meal planning at home (veggies & protein!)
> yes
6. Do some kind of scheduled exercise every day.
> headed out for a walk with the dog right now 0 -
Hello everyone!
My goals for the challenge are to do SOMETHING everyday, even if its only 15 minutes, and to eat better.
I have a side challenge going with my daughter to do 60 miles by Xmas..I've only got 19 so far! :noway: So, my two main goals for this week are to get my miles in, and to get in my glasses of water! :drinker:
I will adjust my goals every week as we go on.
Have a great Tuesday! :flowerforyou:0 -

Like many of you I joined and did well and then slacked, especially with the "night caps." Hubby and I have committed to no more of those. Determined to get off what I have put back on to avoid buying new clothes-in a bigger size. I am shooting for 60 minutes of cardio a day. I just know we can all drop in December!0

Hey Everyone,
I weighed Saturday morning and my weight was up 5 pounds from three weeks ago. No surprise there given my overindulgence and lack of exercise.
Current weight: 160 lbs
Christmas weight goal: 157 lbs
Ultimate goal: 155 lbs. I may go lower if I feel I need to.
Food goals: Log daily, even if I go over, which I usually do on weekends.
Workout goals: Minimum 45 minutes Monday - Saturday. Sunday is rest day.
I am really looking forward to this.

Hi everyone,
I'm a day late to the party, but I really need some motivation to keepgoing. As with most, I had initial success, but have fallen off for th last while. I'm starting at an earth quaking 303 and would like to get down to 290 by Chistmas which would be a huge success for me.
See you alog the way...0 -
Current weight: 189 (as of this morning)
Goal by Xmas: 183
I'm up 3.5 pounds since 1.5 weeks ago, but I think that part of that is from the pizza I had this weekend (and last night) and the wine at thanksgiving.
Now that the leftover pizza is gone, I'm ready to change things. I threw out my collection of pizza coupons on Sunday, and cooked real food. Also danced, which is the fun way of working out.0 -
CW: 180.9lbs
GW by Xmas: 175lbs
I was horrified by this number, all my hard work gone to waste, time to get back on the wagon!!!0 -
