    Christmas is 51 days or about 7 weeks away. Some weeks I'm happy that I lost even 1 pound. So I would be thrilled with a 7 to 10 lb. loss by Christmas.

    I'd like to lose 30, but am pretty sure 10 is more realistic...

    I would be happy to lose a solid 4-6 pounds, meaning lose that much and not bounce up and down from that. That will put me just 10 pounds outside of healthy range for my height and age. I have pretty much lost no weight since 4th of July and been up and down the same 5 pounds since then. So 4-6 pounds should be do-able but still might not happen...but I keep trying :smile:

    Eight more pounds gone by Christmas would make me a very happy girl. :bigsmile:

    Well I figure whatever my body decides I can say 5lbs but who knows I have 16lbs left to go so 5lbs is reasonable but who knows could be more could be less.

    When I (re)started on MFP in mid-September (when I weighed 199), my end of year goal was 180. To my delight, and without anything crazy, I have already passed that goal! I'm hoping for another 15 pounds down by Christmas.

    I was soooo close to my goal weight 6 months ago before my husband got back in the military and I ended up visiting family for 2.5 months- if I can get down 8 pounds to be within 10 lbs of my goal, I will be thrilled.

    Shooting for 12, but would be happy with 6-8 if that's what happens! Coming in on the final stretch and not sure when I want to start hitting the weights hard(er), so we'll see. Focusing more on looks & composition than the scale right now.

    Maybe 5 pounds - I don't want to restrict myself too much during the holidays.

    I am currently 227 pounds and would like to be 199 pounds by Christmas. Just want to be finally out of the 200s. Anyone please add me so we can support each other.

    Anything, anything at all. I haven't seen a loss in a while and it's disheartening :(

    I would be happy just maintaining 178 for real and not have the weekly gain and loss of the same 3-4 pounds, that has been going on since mid September.... However, to be under 178 by then would be my Christmas miracle! ;)

    I have it wrote down on the calendar that I want to be 189 or lower by Christmas. That is 13 lbs and very attainable.

    Hopefully 10 lbs. Then I'll probably gain half of it back.. Oh well, I'd rather enjoy the holidays (:

    I'll consider it a win if, come January I am the same weight as I am now :-)
