    I'd say at this point, being November 12th, I think 10 lbs is more realistic. Though MFP tells me the way I'm going, I'll be down 20 in 5 weeks, which is about Christmas time.

    I'd rather not lose over 2 lbs a week, thereby catabolizing my existing muscle mass, depressing my metabolism and leaving me flabbier than I am now.

    No. I'll stick to a sustainable, safe and healthy weight loss plan. But good luck to the rest of you.

    I'm in, 20lb would be amazing and over half way ro my goal.

    How are others planning on tackling this?

    I'm waiting for T25 to be delivered, but it's going to run over the Christmas period and into the new year.
  • Me too I want to stick to it just to see how well I can do by then. :happy: It has only been a week for me now so Christmas is a good goal to set.
  • This time last year, I had the same goal in mind. I started on AdvoCare's 24 day challenge and was extremely impressed with the results I received and the energy I gained. Within a course of 7 months, I have lost 46 pounds, 25 inches and I went from a size 11 to a 4. My body is the healthiest and best it's ever been my entire life. Due to the success I had, I started sharing with my friends and before we knew it, the business presented itself to us. We are so excited to work with people who are looking to be their best! I lost my dad 4 years ago due to heart disease at the age of 50. I vowed to make a change for my kids, that was one tradition I didn't want to pass down to them. AdvoCare has changed my life and my families.... I'd love to help you too! :)
  • YEP count me in! I've not been eating well lately. I'm stuck at 130 lbs since forever!! Any tips on how to stop myself from not eating well??
  • Hell to the yes! :)
    My first day of trying, might as well aim high!
    I can't wait to get new clothes for Christmas! :P

    Well, time for an update on this challenge for me. I was doing good. I was up to 9 lbs. lost. Then it all came back thanks to prednisone increasing my appetite. I really fell off MFP in Nov. and Dec. but am trying to get myself back into it. Right now I weighed in at 200 lbs. even. Not good for a 5' person. Have to see what the new year brings. Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to everyone. See you in 2014!

    I would like to know how many of you managed to lose the 20# before Christmas? I don't like eating by myself so I just make whatever I can with what I have in the house. I'm down 12# so that's good but now I'm going to make little goals for myself. Have a great weekend.

    You can do this. Have you talked to your doctor about things you can do to help you? Even if you don't lose weight, they should be able to help you be healthier.

    I have talked with my old dr. (had to change drs. because of retirement) and he wanted me to join WW. I don't have money for that. A neighbor goes with me to my cardiac rehab exercise time and we do a lot of walking in the summer. I am now starting to use the stairs in our 13 story apt. building(going down not up). I need to get back into the exercise tapes I've had for years but concrete floors are tough on the bones.
    I think the easiest way to do this, is by checking in every Sunday night. I get weighed on Tues. Should we start a new thread and call it 2014's Christmas goal of 20#?:happy: Have a great week and keep logging in. Till next Sun. Good night.

    Christmas seems so far away when its 90 something degrees out! Trying hard to eat right but with all this summer company it's become nearly impossible.
    Living near the beach is wonderful ....in the winter.
    Its so ,much easier to stay on track..i/,m feeling beat down at. Dieting..loose 2 gain 1 back.its become stressful to plan a healthy meal that everyone will like....
