Hey All, I've never done this forum thing before but I need to start surrounding myself with more motivational people than my current friends who are very off and on with their dedication. I work out 4-5 times a week but have great difficulty with my portion control. So I'd like to put forth the 30 lb Christmas Challenge. High goal but I like to strive for high and if you achieve it amazing, if not, look at the success you had along the way. It's a win win. Who's with me?

I'd be willing to do an 18 pound challenge by Christmas. I want to start putting on muscle after I take off 18 pounds of fat. I'm definitely down though!0

How many weeks til Christmas? Almost 14? That's more than 2lbs a week! Pretty sure that's not healthy. At least not for those of us with much lower goals.0

^Agreed
If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal,
If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal,
If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lbs/week is ideal,
If you have 15 -25 lbs to lose 0.5 to 1.0 lbs/week is ideal, and
If you have less than 15 lbs to lose 0.5 lbs/week is ideal.0 -
That would be great!!0

Why not, set lofty goals as long as youre ok with just making progress0

Why not, set lofty goals as long as youre ok with just making progress
Because I'd rather set goals I will work hard to complete. Setting goals I know I won't reach just makes me not want to work towards them. Setting goals that push you hard is one thing...setting ones you'll never attain is just setting you up for failure, especially when put in a group setting where others are comparing their success.0 -

setting lofty weight goals can be bad news. if you have unrealistic expectations, you can get discouraged with the fact that you NEVER meet them. nothing like feeling like a failure.0 -

Not sure if I can hit 30lbs. But I can give it a try. Let do it. :laugh:0

i'll try for 5 lbs hahaha. it took me 2 years to lose 10 lbs...and i keep gaining and losing the last 5 of those.0

I would love to hit goal by Christmas, but I thinj half that is attainable and certainly will try. It's nice to have a challenge to help wade through the festive bombardment of chocolate and pie. I'm hoping my metabolism is repaired enough to let me start losing, again.0
