Operation lose a stone by Christmas!

Right ladies and gents. I have decided that this Christmas I want to feel confident and happy in a nice dress on Christmas day. I am therefore setting myself a goal of losing a stone for Christmas. That gives me eight weeks! So who's with me? Starting with this weeks loss and then each week thereafter please add your username and copy and paste everybody! At the end we can put our photos on of us looking fabulous!!

    I'm with you i will really try I want to look and feel fabulous for Xmas and New year to that's 2 new party dresses to look and feel fab in :) xx
  • I'm buying my 'Christmas Party' dress soon in a size smaller than I currently am (I'm sort of inbetween sizes at the moment!). So hoping this will be added motivation. When it arrives I'll take a before pic and then one on the night and hopefully there'll be a nice difference!

    I like the idea of this! Originally from the UK too so I still convert it all back to Stones lol. Now I use pounds!
    Weigh in is in about 4 hours....I woke up to crying baby and a sore throat. I meet my trainer at 9am though before work!

    I have the same aim. I've even bought a too small dress so really need to do this or I'll be in a robe all Xmas day!!

    Good idea :) I'm in!

    I weighed myself this morning and was 11 stone on the nose so would love to lose a stone by Christmas, but half a stone would be a bonus with all the do's leading up to it!

    Me too please! Fell off the dieting wagon for a couple of months and the weight has started to creep back on (if I'm honest the weight on my MFP hasn't been updated as I can't bear the shame of admitting the failure in such a public forum. )

    Back on track now and will weigh in on Friday if you'll have me :flowerforyou:

    I would love to lose a stone by christmas , but with my back and knee/leg/feet problems making anything intense impossible for me half a stone is more realistic . As i find it very hard to shift any weight now.

    Im 11st at the moment im weighing in on saturday morning . could use all the support i can get :) x
  • I'd like to lose a stone by Christmas, but no clue where to start. Do you mind if I try gatecrashing for some support-network / inspiration goodness?

    Everybody is welcome here! Just set your own personal goal and stick to it! I use mfp to log cals but I couldn't do the whole 1200 calorie a day restriction. I used to fail at it repeatedly and then fall off the wagon! follow the 5-2 diet and its been only thing that works for me.

    Brilliant- just the motivation I have been looking for. Have dropped from 224lbs to 160lbs this year. Need one final push before Christmas as have been finding it more difficult as the colder weather has set in. Porridge and Soup here I come! I next weigh on Monday.

    YES!!! i was just telling my boyfriend i want to lose 5KG before Christmas! I live overseas so am heading home to see everyone again and want to look fabulous in the Aussie Summer :) i'm looking to start the 5 :2 plan, i have alot of social and work functions each week so it's very hard to control my calories every day, i think the 5:2 would be great so at least overall i can keep a hold of my calorie intake . Any tips?
