    Sure I'll try. I did some calculations that I'll share here.
    There are 50 days until Xmas.
    That's 7.14 weeks.
    At 2 lbs a week that's a total loss of 14.30 lbs by Xmas.

    So I'm shooting for at least 10 considering I can't do many activities due to diabetic pain in the feet and medications that make you gain weight. 10 by Xmas would be great for me!

    Those of you that are shooting for up to 30 lbs by Xmas That's 7.14 weeks. Be careful that's an unhealthy goal. That totals 4.5 lbs a week approx

    Best of luck to everyone. Thanks for the challenge. It'll help keep me focused during Thanksgiving.

    I want to join in too.. My goal is 30lbs but I see realistically I will loose half of that by Christmas... Any meals I can prepare for a family of four to maintain a under 1200 calorie diet for my self and my husband would be greatly appreciated. Thanks... :-). How does this challenge work? I am new to fitness pal.

    All the positive feedback is so awesome, I am ready to hit the gym hard today because you all have me so motivated! 20 minute run and then hitting the weights, what's everyone else doing?

    I'm in too. I will be more than happy to lose 5lbs but anything will be good. I'm recovering from recurring pericarditis and have been put on steroids for a couple of weeks to treat it, so will be grateful not to pile the weight on! Starting weight 155.4lbs. Thanks x

    I want to get down at least 12-15 pounds! It's just so hard when food is just calling your name and around the corner everywhere you go.

    I Hear that !!! But together we can do this. if we only eat a bite of each yummie goodness then we will be full and still get to eat it.
    but make sure its only a bite of each thing. that is what I am going to try to do.

    I'm up for the challenge!! I had set a goal for myself, but seems more real to put it on here. 15 by Christmas sounds good!!
