edited February 5 in Health and Weight Loss
I've been on here since January and been making slow progress but progress non the less.

I'm setting myself a goal of 18lb by Christmas day (twelve weekish) which would be fantastic and see me at my lowest weight for years. baby steps but I genuinely believe that's how I will have my best chance of keeping it off.

Anybody have a Christmas goal?? send me a FR and we can team up to support each other :)





I know..... 12week:noway:

    I don't have a Christmas goal, being that I'm Jewish, but I do have a New Year's Eve goal, 185. That's 18lbs away, and less than 3 months. :bigsmile:

    I am currently 123 lbs and would like to be 117 lbs by Christmas. I will be eating at 15% below TDEE, so that's around 1600 - 1700 calories per day ( I am 5'4). I have started focusing on strength training and cutting out the junk food (chocolate, ice cream, biscuits).
    Eating at this calorie range for me, I don't feel hungry or deprived.

    I wanted to be at GW by New Year's Day. It's 16 lbs off so still seems possible.

    No specific goal. Just keep doing what I'm doing, one day at a time.

    I do have a Christmas party on the 12.14, so I can't wait to see where I'm at by then.

    It looks like I should be 6 more pounds down, lol. Maybe less on the scale if I keep putting on muscle, which I'd better.

    My goals are to eat right and workout. That's about all I know ;)

    Some of you have some pretty big goals...I think 20-22 pounds in about 10 weeks is a lot of weight unless you are just getting started or are well over 200 pounds. I wish you the best in trying. My goal is 5 pounds...might not sound like much but I am 18 pounds away from my goal and have been gaining and losing the same 3 pounds for over a year (except my current 3 pound gain from that).

    My goal was to lose 20 pounds by my birthday ( the same as Christmas ). Twenty minutes ago I weighed myself and am 7.5 pounds down since first week in September. I am really happy that now it's only 12.5 pounds to go.
    Please add me if you like.

    I want to lose 6 more pounds by Dec. 20th. I was thinking of a Christmas goal but decided on that date since it's my birthday. :wink:

    I'm working on being 130 by the end of the year, but if I can get down to 134 (3 more pounds to go) then I would have loss 25 pounds in less than a year and will no longer be overweight. I honestly can't remember the last time I was at a normal weight. I'm going to be really excited.

    To weigh less then I do now and to be healthier then I am now.

    I don't do specific goals of X amount of weight by Y date. I know myself and I would get really upset with myself if I did not make those goals. This would lead to me wanting to quit and feeling like I failed. So I just do not do it.

    I'm in the Christmas 2013 challenge. Set a goal loss on 8/1/13 of 40 lbs lost by Christmas. 53% of goal achieved. Waiting for my 5 week forecast notice to be at my goal, it's 2.5 lbs above that right now. If I can navigate through Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas goodies, I'll make it.

    I am hoping to lose 12 pounds by Christmas! That's about 1lb a week, which is reasonable, if I stick to my plan. We can do it!

    I wanted to be at my goal weight by Christmas but I don't think it's happening! I'll be happy if I lose 10 lbs by then I guess.
