Christmas GOAL..whose wants in ?

Well christmas is neally upon us again, and I'm still not a target weight. I've got to lose around 17 pounds. I must get to target by then, anyone want to join me.

As next year I want to be able to say "I NO LONGER HAVE A WEIGHT PROBLEM ".

To get fit and tone more,

and maintain my weight..

That would be my final goal...nice

How much do you want to lose by Christmas, or is there a particular dress you want to get into, or trousers ?

    I would love to have lost a total 50 lbs by Christmas, so 23 more pounds by Christmas. That way I can work towards 60 total lost by the time the husband gets home from the sandbox!! BUT, I don't know how realistic 23 pounds by Christmas is, so I will work towards 40 total, 13 to go till Christmas!!!

    Sorry for the novel there! ;)

    Basically:
    Realistic goal: 13
    Wishful goal: 23

    Who knows, I have a huge amount of weight total to lose, so I am losing it quicker right now, so I may get somewhere in between!! :)
  • It would be nice to get to my first goal weight by Christmas. Hopefully after weigh in tomorrow, it will be 30lbs. This would definitely help me to stay focus and move closer to my goal!!!....So yes, I'm in!

    I'm in! I like the alternative goals as I find the more exercise I do, the slower my weight comes off and I don't want to be demotivated by not getting there...

    Realistic goal: 6.5
    Wishful goal: 10.5

    My realistic goal gets me to my lowest in 4.5 years, my wishful gets me to my lowest ever so I'm happy either way!

    I'm in! :smile:
    There is a dress I would like to fit into for the office Christmas party... And in order to do so I need to lose another 3-5kg, so 7-11lb. It's a dress I've last worn probably 10 years ago and I want to be able to wear it again!!
    I think my realistic goal is 9 lb, but ideally I would like to lose the last 18lb...

    I've got to lose between 1-1.5 pounds per week. This will be hard for me, because I seem to celebrate a good week with a bad week. So I've got to cut out the bad weeks.

    By the end of October I need to be 3 pounds lighter.. I will accept 2.5 pounds
    Small steps, to get to November.

    You all need to come back and log your progress towards christmas, or add as friends.

    I've already promised myself a 3 night stay at Springs Spa in the new year if I get to my goal. Good luck everyone.

    My Christmas goal is to be comfortable in the airplane seat for the 9 hour ride back home to the states. I would love to fit into a pretty dress but if I don't, i know I'll still get there. But those dang coach seats....

    I get married on 1st March and have my dress fitting 1st feb... so Christmas is kinda almost the halfway mark between now and then.

    I have loads of big events on before Christmas: hen-doo's, two weddings, my best friends 30th, not to mention all of the festivities!

    Wishful Goal: 18lbs
    Realistic goal: 10 lbs

    It will be so difficult with all of these Christmas do's going on, but are you ALL dedicated to NOT over indulging, for get into that sexy number for Christmas.

    I think we need to make it a competition. who ever hits their goal for Christmas, all of the above has to send a big CONGRATULATIONS message. Its lovely to have lots of praise from lots of friends. Not just when things go bad.


    Oh and sorry Guys!! its not 11 weeks, its 9 weeks and 1 day to Christmas. So better get going.

    I am so in.........Been struggling to get to my next goal

    Realistic goal - 13 pounds

    Fantasy goal - 27 pounds

    If I were to reach my fantasy goal I would be at 150 pounds down in 28 months and be able to get my next goal reward - my first tattoo. I'll be happy with my realistic goal but would be ecstatic with my fantasy one.
  • sounds great!!!

    I would be happy if Santa gave me the gift of 10 lbs lost!!!!
    I figure about 1 lb a week is ok, a bit more if I'm really a good boy!!!
  • Ideally, I'd like to lose the 12 pounds I regained this past year or at least get close to that (got lazy, stopped tracking, stopped working out, yada yada, we've heard it all before). Count me in and someone give me a massive boot in the bottom to get back on track!
  • Amazing, I was just thinking about this, this morning as I was getting ready for the gym. I'd like to see 20lbs gone by Christmas. I'm in.

    I'm in...I still have 30-40 lbs to lose, so that's not reasonable, but I'll shoot for 15 by Christmas.
