    I am trying to lose around 15-20 (whatever is healthier) by end of December as well! Add up for support and motivation!

    I'd love to be in the high-120s by Christmas... It seems like it's ages away but it's actually coming up fast. I'm in. :)

    I'm in - recently gained 10 + lbs (refuse to weigh myself right now but will after a couple weeks of "good" eating).

    Me! I'm hoping for a bit more than that by Christmas but I can say "at least 20lbs by Xmas"!

    I've gained 10lbs between the months of May - September due to working overnights and quitting MMA (can't afford it)...
    Now I'm hitting the gym in hopes to lose 10-15lbs by December.

    I'm a petite person (5"1') and the scale that measures body fat said I'm about 24% fat and my weight was around 122. :indifferent: *sighs* But I'd like to tone up and build some lean muscle mass as well to make everyday lifting a lot easier for me.:sick:

    Count me in! Though I'd like to drop my 20 pounds by December 13th (getting married that day).

    I must admit though, I'm two weeks into the Body for Life program already, so I've got a little bit of a head start.

    I'm in as well! That was actually my specific goal that I set for myself for before January 1. I would love to hit it a little sooner though, since I'm going wedding dress shopping over Thanksgiving :)

    I am absolutely in! I have put on too much weight over the last 6 months. I am such a stress eater and with my husband being laid off, I have not dealt with it well. Need to face to scale because I have been avoiding it. Going back to kickboxing tonight (I pay for it so I should go :)

    20lbs would be a great start and the support would be great.

    Anybody else have a fitbit? I would love to add new friends for motivation.

    I am aiming to lose 20-30lbs! BY Christmas would be wonderful but overall just want to lose and keep it off no matter how long it takes! I just started a low carb diet 7 days ago and already down about 5 lbs! So far it is going in the right direction! I would love to have additional support and motivation/accountability!
