    Being under 200 lbs (CW - 218) would pretty much be the best X-Mas present ever, but I doubt it'll happen.

    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)

    Good luck with your hospitalization!! I have no dramatic excuses/reasons, unfortunately ;-) I can exercise. And I will. But I KNOW I will want to indulge in a few great holiday treat foods, and I plan on enjoying it (in small quantities of course) so I don't wanna push myself like crazy between now and Jan 1.

    This makes me feel bad somehow.

    I am really happy about my weight loss (currently 214 and highest ever was 307) and I do consider myself dedicated....but for me getting to 199 and below is not quite that exciting, I can think of hundreds of things that would be a better Xmas present to me lol.

    My goals are to

    Continuously weigh/measure/log and be accountable through the holiday season (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Xmas)
    Establish a new indoor workout routine for the fall/winter (cardio and weights at a gym)

    If I can somehow lose 10 lbs by then (hopefully by doing the above) - that would be the best present in a long time!

    back down to 135lbs = 5lb loss
    boot camp = once a week, every week
    zumba = once a week, every week

    I was there in February, but a new job (active job to sedentary desk job) helped put that 5 pounds back on. LOVE the job, but need to get more active.

    16 pounds would be perfect. It's eight weeks, so feasible, right?!

    I'm 25 pounds away from my goal weight, but by Christmas, I am hoping for 10-15 pounds accounting for the possible weight gain from Thanksgiving.

    I'd like to hit 199, that's 8 more pounds and will also be in the overweight range of BMI instead of obese. I've been plugging away, but the scale has been stubborn lately. I'm going to work hard so I can get there!

    I'd be happy if I could lose 5 - 10 lbs by Christmas. Just trying to remain realistic about how difficult it can be to bypass all the yummy holiday foods.

    Nose to the grindstone come January 1st!

    Realistically, I plan to maintain until January.

    Ideally, I would like to drop about five pounds before then.

    I'm hoping to be fluctuating in the 120's at that point. Right now I can't seem to get below 130.

    I'd say about 10 to 12 lbs more by Christmas would be a great goal for me!

    I am hoping to lose about 15-20lbs by Christmas. More would be great, but I don't want to set too high of a goal, so that I don't get discouraged.

    I'm thinking about 10 pounds of true fat, and hopefully gaining some muscle in that time as well.
