HEY EVERYONE.

CHRISTMAS TIME IS THE WORST TIME OF THE YEAR I THINK FOR FEELING 'FAT'... ALL THE FOOD THAT WE TAKE IN :( ALL THE FAMILY WE SEE AND PICTURES BEING TAKEN.. HOPING THAT YOU ANGLED YOUR FACE RIGHT SO THE CAMERA DIDN'T CATCH THAT DOUBLE CHIN.. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SUCH A HAPPY TIME OF YEAR, AND YET, MOST PEOPLE I KNOW FEEL CRAPPY AROUND THAT TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO OUR WEIGHT AND SELF IMAGE. FINDING DRESSY CLOTHES TO WEAR IS JUST AWFUL TOO, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DON'T SEE WHAT WE WANT TO WHEN WE LOOK IN THE MIRROR. HEY, I COULD BE WRONG, MAYBE ITS JUST ME?! BUT IM PRETTY SURE ITS NOT..

THIS YEAR IM GIVING MYSELF A EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT.. MY CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE!!! YES, YES, HOW IS THAT A GIFT?! WELL, I MAY HAVE TO WORK HARD AT EXERCISING, AND EATING RIGHT, BUT IF I CAN REACH MY CHRISTMAS GOAL AND FEEL GREAT ABOUT MYSELF IN THOSE CHRISTMAS PICTURES I DREAD EVERY YEAR, IT WILL BE THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!

SO HERE'S MY CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE.. I STARTED THIS SITE LESS THAN A WEEK AGO. HAVE ONLY LOST 1LB SO FAR. BUT I CHALLENGE MYSELF TO LOSE 20LBS BY CHRISTMAS! TAKE ME FROM 167 TO 147.. MY OVERALL GOAL IS 130LBS, AND BY CHRISTMAS I WANT TO BE HALFWAY THERE.

FEEL FREE TO JOIN ME IN THIS CHALLENGE! IM SURE ALL OF US COULD USE THAT EXTRA SUPPORT AND OTHERS TO MOTIVATE US.. GOOD LUCK ALL!!!

    My goal is to be under 200 by Christmas -- so 22ish pounds based on my last weigh in. I'm pretty sure I'm around 220 right now though so that isn't quite as hard as it looks.

    December is 16 weeks away so hoping that is do-able!

    I have 23 pounds before I reach my goal, keep in mind I've already lost 32 but only recently joined the site. I'm not saying I should be 150 lbs. by Christmas since I'm putting on muscle mass simultaneously, but I want to go into the new year with a view of my abs! So that'll be my own Christmas challenge, get my bodyfat in the 10-12% range.

    I just got on to the fitness pal through a co-worker, I think your challenge is a great idea. I also weigh 167 and I am looking to lose 15 - 20 pds. The extra encouragement would be great. I just have a hard time with eating right. But knowing someone else is doing it with me will help keep me on track.

    That's a great idea to help keep on track during the holiday season. I'm in for 25 pounds by Christmas! That would take me halfway to goal.

    I'm determined to be at my goal weight by Christmas. I'm not positive what that weight will be, I'll figure it out when I get closer, but it will be somewhere between another 15 to 30 lbs lost!

    Hell, I'm in too sis =) Its funny, I had no idea that you were on this site, and had no idea what your goals were, and now seeing your profile, I see they're very similar (everyone always said we were more alike than we wanted to admit) ;)
    A couple weeks ago for my (UGH) 30th birthday, I had posted on my fb that I was giving myself a "birthday resolution" to lose 25 lbs by New Years and then a New Years resolution to lose another 25lbs by my next birthday in August of 2011.
    I think I just really need the motivation of seeing and hearing about other people doing it with me rather than trying to do it all by myself.
    I'm glad I decided to log in online instead of just continuing to use my iphone app...
    Love you <3
