Fit for Christmas

Joining you!!!! I would like to be a comfortable size 12 by christmas
Current... 14

I would love to lose 30lbs by Xmas too...that would bring me under the 200lb mark...I'm in! I'm off for a walk now, I have some work to do-haha!

Thanks Desireebutts, Yes it feels fantastic to have reached goal weight, I can not believe it, I have so much more energy and being able to put on clothes that are not too tight etc is a feeling you can not describe

7/26/10 Weigh-in: 153.2 lbs
8/2/10 Weigh-in: 152.4 lbs
8/9/10 Weigh-in: 151.8 lbs
8/16/10 Weigh-in: 151.0 lbs

Still, slow progress on my weight. Almost down below 150. Can't wait for the day the scale moves down below 150 mark. Trying to incorporate a little more cardio during the day and more veggies in my diet. Hopefully that will change it up enough for me. Also, gonna try and have a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack every day too, not been very good at this.

So close! Almost can taste 149! That's my mini goal to get below 150 by the end of August! Let's see if I can do it, I have five days to go!

I am definitely in! I just joined this today, but that would be a perfect goal to set! My birthday is Dec 13th, so that would be a great way to keep my going all the way through the holidays!

Good Luck to you all

I seem to be on target to hit my goal of 30lbs off by Christmas / NYE. I joined 26th July (I think) and have lost 12lb since then (based on weigh in this morning that I haven't put on here yet). So 12lb in 5 weeks (with 1 week of holiday in that), and 18lbs to go in 4 months. Wow, put like that I'd hope I could lose more, but I've never lost this much in such a short - and healthy - way that I'm not sure what is a realistic goal for 4 months so I'll keep it at 30lbs and readjust closer if I start to get close to my goal.

Hope everyone is doing well!

I gained a bit, but I know its all my fault from eating not as well as I should have yesterday at the family bbq. Hopefully its just water weight and I'll be back down soon. Live and learn and move forward....

I forgot all about this challenge! Oopsie. :embarassed: :laugh:
