    I'm in. I have been on a bit of a plateau/diet vacation after losing about 15 pounds in July and August. I will be visiting my parents over the holidays and my mother is always on me about my weight. I'd really like to get below 160 before I head home for the holidays!

    SW: 187
    CW: 172
    Christmas ideal: 158 (1.5 lb/week)
    Christmas realistic: 163 (1 lb/week)
    FGW: 135

    My goal... 7-10 pounds by Christmas.. would like to get down 15 but I don't think shooting below 130 will happen for me. I'm 5'4" and currently 143 pounds. Would like to see between 130-135 by Christmas. Though we have halloween, my sons birthday & Thanksgiving (2 days in a row for that one) and then the event of Christmas itself. I will have to stay away from TONS of halloween candy (maybe allowing myself a few pieces-smarties are relatively low in calories) and then i have to stay away from my Grandma's delicious homemade sugar cookies..
    Ugh, holidays...
    Last year I had no problems and lost around 20 pounds between November-January but I've only maintained my same weight since January..

    The other Christmas goal group I was in totally fizzled out, so I'm in!! I have a whopping 24 pounds to lose to reach my Christmas goal (actually by 12/20!) Yikes! I've been out of it and only logging (but staying under calories & exercising off & on) for the past 6 weeks due to minor health problems & have only lost 1#. So this week I'm kicking it up & taking some classes at my gym in addition to my regular lap swimming. Yesterday was "set & reps" & today my first Zumba class! I've got to average 3#/week to make my goal... it can be done but it's gonna be hard to stick with it for the next 8 weeks!!

    Best of luck reaching your goals everyone!

    I'm in!!

    I'm new to these posts .. and reading them all is inspiring already.

    I've just started back with logging on MFP today .. I need all the help I can get.
    It's been over a year since I've tracked my eating.. I forgot how aware you have to be all the time to stop yourself from grabbing small things to eat that you don't think count.. But they all add up. I'm definitely going to need help!

    I would love to lose 20 lbs by christmas. .. I'm definitely in!
    Great idea.. Thank you!

    I want in too. I too have a dress to fit in :happy: . Ideally, I would love to loose 10 pounds, but one pound per week is a very unrealistic goal for me, so 5-6 pounds would be amazing.

    9 weeks to go. Let's get them off!!!

    I'd be overjoyed if I could hit my goal by X-Mas, but I'm not sure if it can happen. I'm currently 128 and my goal weight is 118. 10 pounds seems like a lot to get off in 9 weeks, but we'll see. My more realistic goal will be to lose 9lbs, so I'll be right at the brink of my goal hopefully.

    I'd like to lose about 15lbs but if I do manage to lose anything with my luck it'd be about 5-10lbs but I wouldn't complain rather be that then than what I weigh now! Oh and too be able to run for more than a minute without getting out of breathe would be a bonus! :laugh:

    I'm hoping to lose between 1-2 pounds a week, 18 pounds by Christmas would be great, but il settle for a more realistic goal of 10lbs!
    Good luck everyone!!

    I shooting for 15 lbs. If I track on weekends and not give in to convenience I think this is doable.

    I would like to be down to 180 by Christmas! So far I have lost 22 lbs...so in order to reach my goal by Christmas I would have to lose 2 lbs a week!

    Realistic goal:20 lbs
    Fantasy goal: 20 lbs :D

    Let's do this people! And I just want to add that thanksgiving is the midway point between now and then and you really shouldn't have to deprive yourself on that day, just be conscious of your serving size! You can have your turkey and still lose weight. Just be smart about it! Can't wait to see how everyone does. Add me if you like!

    I'm in!! ...

    Would love to lose another 10lbs for Christmas. Lost focus a bit recently so a goal for Christmas would be good.

    Feel free to add me as a friend, especially UK members. My diary is open to friends and I'm always looking for some inspiration :)
