I'm aiming to be size 14 (I'm top end size 16 atm) for Christmas. I'm not aiming for a weight, just to be able to fit into my size 14 clothes with less of a belly!

Current weight: 198lb

Anyone want to join me in setting targets for Christmas? :)

    I'm in! I want to hit my goal by Christmas of 135 lbs. I thought I was going to get there by my birthday Nov 25th, but I haven't lost at all this month! So I'm hoping by Christmas to be there. If I some how pulled it off and lose 5 lbs a month from now til end of Nov I'll make it, but I don't want to shoot my hopes too high. So Christmas would be a more realistic goal to be there by.

    Are we planning to weigh in weekly to keep us on track or something like that? I think that would keep me more motivated if I have to document where I'm at in my progress! So I'll probably post each Monday!

    Current weight: 153.8 lbs

    You should aim for a size 10 or 12. You can easily hit it! Push yourself a little! It is good to have small goals try being a size 14 by Halloween! :-) Good Luck!

    I weigh every Wednesday - so I'd like to weigh in every Wednesday. :)

    I'm aiming for Christmas as it gives me time to meet my goals... i'm HOPING that my poor metabolism will kick into gear again...

    We can also do challenges... My challenge this week(end) is to try and eat healthily in a field while camping...

    I would like to join. I would also like to be a size 14 by Christmas. I am high 18 right now but still fit in 16. Sounds good to have some help and buddies along the way. I just started 2 weeks ago.

    Yes!! I would love to be down 19 pounds by Christmas!! What a wonderful gift that would be! :) I'm hoping that would put me in a size 8, but I guess I'd be cool with a 10!! I fit comfortably in a 12 right now!!

    I weigh in on Mondays! :)

    I'm in too!
    My aim is to drop 15 kg (30 lbs or so..?) and be real fit at my target weight of 75kg!
    Wonder if that's manageable but I'll be happy if I hit 80kg by that time!

    I'd love to join! :smile:

    I'd like to be down 25 pounds by Christmas (from 170 to 145). I wear a size 14, so 25 lbs should put me between a 10 and a 12, I believe.

    I'M IN!!!

    I'd like to be down 40 pounds by Christmas (from 175 to 135). I wear a size 14 now so I hope to be in a size 8 by Christmass. My ultimate goal (and challege my husband has set for me) is to be 125 - my wedding wieght by Feb 2011 and he will buy me a pair of Christian Louboutin. They are my favorite shoes!! I even put the picture of them on my phone to keep me motivated. Ya ya I know I am silly :bigsmile:

    I'm in too. I'm also getting married on Feb 2011. I am in a size 14 and like to lose at least 30lbs (from 169 to 135) before my wedding day. It's a challenge for me to make sure that I don't gain weight because I can't reorder a different size so this gives me a goal to get in a healthy lifestyle and what's nice is my fiance' is going to help me and make sure that my worries about not fitting later in my dress disappear. He warns me that he's going to kick my butt. Which I have a feeling he will since he's is very healthy and athletic.

    So far not the best, but a little improvement.

    7/26/10 Weigh-in: 153.2 lbs

    Down 0.6lbs since last weigh-in, better than nothing I guess. Hope by next week to be down at least to 152lbs, a number I haven't gotten to yet. I was thinking about it yesterday, I have tons of old pairs of pants that haven't quite fit me yet that I haven't tried on probably since April or so. Wondering if I should be adventurous and try them on, or wait until the fall when they are needed and see if they fit then. I think I'm avoiding it because I don't want to be upset when they don't fit the way I want them to. My husband says they should because I've lost inches off my waist and hips, but I still feel like I look the same. Guess well see if I get brave or not.
