    I hope I will be able to continue doing strength training 3x a week and it'd be awesome if I could bench press and squat as much as I did last spring. I've lost quite a lot of weight since then + I had a one month break from lifting this autumn so... We'll see :)

    As for weight loss, it'd be superb if I hit my ultimate goal weight (66-68kg) by Christmas (or by the end of the year). I currently weigh 69.9kg so it's not too far.

    You're so close!! Good luck to you!

    My Christmas goal is to lose another 8lbs, exercise at least 3 times a week (I've been slacking) and to keep to my calorie goals every day. :)
    I will allow myself a treat during the Christmas break though, it's not Christmas otherwise! I won't go as overboard as I did last year though.

    WOW...that is awesome! :) Well done you! Can you share a few things that worked the best for you? I have been struggling the last while and need to get focused.

    My goal since the beginning of the year has been to weigh 160 at the end of it. If I do it by Christmas that's great, but New Year's is ok too. This morning I weighed 165.0 so I think this is doable if I don't go nuts at Thanksgiving. I only lose .5 - 1 pound a week these days.

    WOW...that is awesome! :) Well done you! Can you share a few things that worked the best for you? I have been struggling the last while and need to get focused.

    A few things that I do is I make sure to prepare/package my breakfasts and lunches the night before. Then I log all my meals the night before as well -- and I stick to the plan. This helps me to not feel like I don't have time to pack a lunch and be tempted to grab something quick from a restaurant or something.

    Right after I eat lunch, I go for a 1.5 mile walk (I work through while I eat my lunch, then use my lunchbreak to walk -- it takes me about 25-30 minutes to walk 1.5 miles).

    I also don't eat after 6:30 -- regardless if I had time for dinner or didn't meet my calorie goal for the day.

    If it's warm enough when I get home, I take the dog and go for another 1.5-2 mile walk.

    On the weekends I prepare a couple dishes (breakfast and lunch/dinner items) that will last me for the week ahead.

    Just a few things I've been doing consistently.

    My goal is to lose at least 7lbs. I've been stuck and had given up on everything. But I'll be back at counting calories and doing zumba.

    My goal is to be 155 by Xmas, which isn't too bad of a goal! Only five or so more pounds for me!

    Im aiming to lose 15lbs or 1 a dress size by Christmas, which would put me at 174lbs and/or a size 12 (whatever comes first :happy: )

    I would like to hit 149 pounds by Christmas, 6 pounds away. It will be tough since I'm nearly at goal, but I am determined.

    I'm going to try really hard to lose 10 by Christmas. Would put me at my pre-baby weight 6 1/2 months p.p. which would be the fastest I've ever managed to take off the baby weight. That being said I'm exclusively bfing and I tend to lose really really slowly so I would be happy with 5 pounds.

    My goal is to not gain any weight. We moved here last August-October (went from Germany to living with my in laws to buying our house) and expanded from 170 to 220. Stress! Now we have to move again... by January and I am down to 189ish and I just don't want to gain anything else.
