30 pounds by Christmas..Who's with me?!

tgrose23 why are you down can we help.

Is it too late to join you guys!!!?!?! I just figured out that Xmas is 9 weeks away.... so I think 30 pounds would be a lot. But what about 20 pounds??? Maybe I can at least try and feed off this groups motivation!?!
I haven't weighed in this morning (im kinda scared actualy because I have been slacking)
But I would love to join!
I think im about 175, so that would put me at 155... Sounds amazing to me

I'd like to join the group.............need to lose 41lbs.....................how do we keep in touch

I havent checked in for awhile , so just checking in to let you know how I am doing. My weigh in are on fridays , so I hope I have lost a few more pounds this week, But so far I have lost 13lbs YEAH. thank you for all the encouragement. We can do this.

yesterday was my weigh in, lost 1 more pound!!!

down to 249 just one more to reach my 15 pound goal and 16 more to reach 30!!

The original post for this group was 8/23/10. At that point in time I had been a member of MFP for about 10 days. 80 some days later, I finally found the thread again and would like to provide my progress update - better late than never. LOL

I began MFP weighing in at 180 on 8/14/10. The day this thread began I weighed in at 179.6. This morning I weighed in at 152.2. That demonstrates a weight reduction of 27. 4 lbs since joining this group. In total since beginning my journey to a healthier and happier me on June 25th, I have reduced my weight by a total of 46.8 lbs. On the date this thread was posted my goal was to reduce my weight by 30 lbs by Christmas - I have modified my goals a couple of times since posting on this thread. My newest goal is now to be at 135 or below by Christmas which would be a total weight reduction of 64 lbs. From the date this challenge began it would be a total reduction of 44.6 lbs. I am very close to the 30 lbs challenge by Christmas, so in my own head I've challenged myself again and again. Due to calculating my body fat, I have set a goal to reach 130 by Christmas - that may or may not be doable, but I am working with that in mind. I set mini weekly goals for myself. My goal for this week is 150.8 - I still have about 1 1/2 lbs to go - not sure I will make that goal by Sunday - we will see. I will be working hard to reach that goal the remainder of this week.

Hope all are doing well. I ready the 15 pages of posts this morning and it appears that most are making progress. To all - great job. I know that I have learned many really wonderful lessons from being on MFP. I am inspired daily by the posts/blogs of others. It is so encouraging to read the comments of support from my MFP friends. Thanks to all for being here for me and for others. WE ARE DOING THIS!!!

It's official, I've lost 3lbs!!!!!!!!!! I'm over joyed. I'm going to stick with it and try to loose at least 10 more by Christmas. My workout schedule has been halted by working but I'm going to buckle down find some time to do more than the extra walking around at work that I've been doing.

I hope everyone's staying motivated

Okay so I have been missing in action for a little while, had friends here loads of booze loads of food blah de blah but I have just about got it back under control
so my stats are in my signature, I am not going to get to 30 for christmas but I will still have dropped plenty 13/14 lbs for the mo, it will be more of course by xmas...... hope you are all doing okay! Debbie

I weighed this morning and I've lost 15.2 pounds :-) 15 was my first goal that I set. I thought 75 looked too difficult, but 15 increments are doable! 14.8 to go! It may be tough, but I'll work hard and try harder!!!!! Good luck everyone :-)

I began MFP weighing in at 180 on 8/14/10. The day this thread began (8/23/10) I weighed in at 179.6. This morning I weighed in at 148.8 lbs. That represents a 30.8 reduction in weight in 83 days. My goal is to be at 145 by Thanksgiving and 135 by Christmas. At 135 lbs, I should be very close to being at my "healthy" weight - with maybe just a few more pounds to go depending on my Body Fat percentage.

To everyone here - keep doing the really great job that you have been doing. YOU CAN DO THIS - I KNOW YOU CAN.

Congratulations Vickie, that is amazing!!!!! how have you managed it that is tremendous!

I know I haven't posted on this thread in a long time, but I was stuck at the same weight for 5 weeks. Finally the scale went down 1 pound last week...and then 2 more pounds this week.

10/6: 215
11/16: 212
GW 12/25: 198
14 pounds to go.

I am very sad to see I am on my own ..... 125.6 well done me.... Bof

Ihope I am posting to the right spot, previous weight 172, current 170.

I joined this challenge my first week on the site. I've lost the 30 lbs before christmas nd I'm not stoppling. 30 more here I come

SW was 206 goal weight for me was between 30 and 32 lbs lost.

End weight for Christmas was 174.8 a 31.2 lb loss and I think that's WITH some water gain in there not bad!
