Any Goals Before the New Year?

I know my American friends have Thanksgiving soon, and then there is Christmas just around the corner (for those of us who celebrate it).
Normally people start their weight loss goals AFTER, in the New Year but I have a goal that I'm intending on sticking with before or by the New Year.
Right now I'm at 308lbs. I haven't been under 300lbs in over 10 years. Before the New Year, I would like to reach 290lbs.
Does any one else have goals they'd like to reach or stick to before the New Year?

My goal is to be at 100 pounds lost by the New Year. Coincidentally that would be the weight I was when I first weighed in for College Football back in 1996 330 lbs.
Only 14 pounds to go!
One day at a time, one choice at a time, one nibble at a time!0 -
Yes, we CAN do this! I have 18lbs to lose, so time to not give up and hit the cardio.
Wow, John that is amazing - I hope we can all help each other out to get to our goals.0 -
My goal is to lose 20lbs by 1/3/2013.

I am revising since it took so long to break my stall when I switched from my unhealthy calorie set of 1000 to MFP's suggested calorie set of 1750 so my goal is to be at 328 by Jan 1 that would be 10 lbs between now and then and I haven't been under 330 since the first Sex In The City Movie came out then I weighed 304 that was May of 20080

Jumping in a little late. On my birthday (sept 29), I had set a goal of being down 50 pounds total by the end of the year. At the time, I was at 36 pounds lost (I had just made the goal I had set for my birthday of being 35 pounds down). As of last Tuesday, I have already met my end of the year goal. I am hoping that my indulging over the weekend didn't totally ruin that. My goal now is just to at least maintain that loss through Christmas and to the end of the year.
After the first of the year, I will set another short term goal. I have a longer term goal of being below 300 by the middle of May, when my daughter graduates high school. I want to be able to fit comfortably in the seats.0 -
I really want to be at 100lbs to go. It means dropping 9 pounds by then, still doable.
Even better would be to be at 100lbs lost since my highest weight (long before MFP). That would mean losing 20lbs - a bit far to go. I hope to hit that by the end of January.0 -
I had a goal of being in the 220's but I got stuck in the 250's and now seem to be lagging in the 240's. It seems like my loss has stopped since I started lifting but the inches are going away so that's a plus.0

My original goal was to be 270 by New Years. I've had a few bumps since then, and am only at 286. That's about 4 lbs a week so I'm not sure how possible that is now but 275 would definitely be awesome too.0
-
I'd really like to see 290 by New Year's as well, which is only about 6 pounds away so I think I can do it! That would be a total of 25 lbs gone for me.0

It happens! Glad to see you back at it
My update: I'm now at 303lbs. I need to lose 4 more to make my goal of under 300 by New Year's.
That would be the best present I could ever give myself!0 -
You all are doing so good! Keep it up!
My goal is to hit under 390 by New Years. It seems small considering I am at 391.6 and holding, but I haven't been under 390 in many many months.
Hoping this board stays active...I need a place to come and be motivated!0 -
