    OP...will you be starting a group we can join? They are easy to create if you haven't done one already.

    i would like to lose two solid pounds before christmas. meaning, i don't want my fluctuations to go above that two pound loss. it seems like a minor goal...but i have been having trouble with eating goal.

    Can I join?

    5'2 152lbs ultimate goal weight is 120lbs. I want to look smokin hot for my husbands Christmas party.

    I want to lose 15lbs by the christmas party on December 14th. It's not much but 15lbs when you're small is actually a huge difference. So 8wks to lose 15lbs. I know it's aggressive but I am so hopeful. that will put me at 138lbs, then only 18lbs to go until my goal which I think realistically I can reach by spring.

    Realistic goal: 8 pounds and 70 total lost
    wishful goal: 11 pounds (this would put me into the normal weight category)

    This is exactly what I need! Put on about 15lbs recently, so I'd like to get most of that back off.
    I've had to reevaluate my Christmas goal that I set 6 months ago, due to the above, but it's still possible... Extremely difficult, but possible :ohwell:

    Realistic goal:10-15lbs
    Fantasy goal: 20-25lbs

    Yes please add me! I would love to lose 14.2 so I'm in the "overweight category" but ideally 18 if I could. :wink:

    By the time I go home and see my family, I want to be down to 175, which is the borderline for my height between overweight and obese.

    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 want to lose 17 pounds as well - but my original time frame was to do so by New Year's.

    I'd like to be 130 by the end of the year, so that's about 5 lbs. It is a pretty small goal, because I want to be able to feast on Halloween candy and pumpkin pie and holiday cookies! hehe

    Keeping it reasonable over here. I love winter foods ♥

    I would like to lose at least 22 lbs by the end of December. That would be about 2 lbs per week loss.

    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 to weigh 120 pounds by Christmas...but I have to admit, right now the weight isn't so important as what I look like...I really need to lose some flab in certain areas.
