    My ultimate goal for christmas is to be at 300lbs which would be like 40lbs. That's what I'm shooting for and that's what I'm all in for. Realisticly if I'm at 315 or 320 I'll take it. That would put me 70 to 75 pounds down since July 4th.

    15lbs is my goal, I'm hoping to lose that by 12/14 (Christmas party)

    I'd love it to be one stone but I think it's going to be more realistically like half a stone given my rate of loss! We shall see :)

    I actually have 2 goals by Christmas... the first is to get back to the gym and Zumba (I hurt my back recently and haven't been able to do anything more then walk). The second is to lose 15-20 pounds, a little ambitious since exercise is a struggle right now, but that's my goal!

    I'd love to lose 13 more by 12/7 (my b-day). That would put me well beyond my initial goal that I set back in August, like almost 2 times beyond that original goal. I'll be satisfied if I'm down at least 8-10 and can hold even thru the first of the year.

    This morning my weight was 214.4, and I am trying to get to 199 but I just don't know if that is going to be possible for me by Christmas. I don't want to put extra pressure on myself or anything so I am thinking if it happens, great, if not I am almost positive I'll reach 199 by March 25 which marks one year on MFP.

    ^^^ this is similar to my goal for Christmas.

    With being unable to exercise at present & going into hospital in just over 2 weeks I will be very happy if I hit 200lb or less by Christmas. That's 14.5lbs away from my current weight (recorded yesterday)

    I'm hoping for 10lbs by Christmas....that will put me at my pre-baby weight (and considering he is four...its about time!). slow and steady...thats a little over a pound a week. It's going to be hard with all the parties and goodies everywhere!

    I plan on being realistic and will be enjoying eating on Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I don't think that four days of eating is going to ruin my entire "end goal" because I have the utmost confidence that I will get get right back on the wagon on the other days and increase my exercise around those two weeks. But to answer the questsion, I will be happy if i lose 8 more pounds between now and Christmas. Normally I would say 10 pounds but that may be to unrealistic as I plan on enjoying the Holiday eating days.

    Well at first it was 30lbs, but i have come to realize that wasnt gonna happen. But now my realistic goal is 15-17lbs. But i think that will do better than that. Good luck to everyone. I think it would be nice that every one checks back in and let everyone know if they accomplish there goals.

    Would live to be down 20lbs but realistically I would be more than happy with 10 :-)

    I would love to be at my goal weight by Christmas, which means losing another 17-23 pounds depending on where I decide is right for me.
