    Why do you want to lose 20lbs before xmas?
    It would be awesome, but I know that it will be unlikely for me. I refuse to cut my calories insanely low just to meet a 2lb per week loss rate. I'm expecting maybe 11lbs lost. When the challenge was started there was a little over 11 weeks till christmas, so for those with a significant amount of weight to lose it's not all that far fetched of a goal.

    Why do people diet and exercise for a few months then want to gain weight until the following year rolls round?
    Even if I lost 20lbs, I'd still have weight to lose. There is a dress however that I'd like to where on Christmas and it would be awesome not to have to buy an XL. I'm not just going to stop because the challenge is over. Joining challenges like this can be fun. My ultimate goal is 20% BF and I'm not even sure I'll make that by this time next year.
    Although I didn't want to, I did have to stop working on my weight loss goals last year and for a full 9 months too. It sucked and rocked at the same time. I still have about 7lbs to get to where I left off last year.

    I'll be happy if I get to onederland by 01JAN15.
    With 11.5 weeks, not sure I can accomplish that.
    That's 18 lb as of this morning.
    After the horrible, rotten, terrible, no good day I've had (eating-wise), that'll probably be a bit higher tomorrow morning. :frowning:

    Please send me a friend request if you are vegan! I always love surrounding myself with people who feel as passionate about food as I do.
    I also wouldn't mind people who are also around the same age as well.

    Hi. Thanks for the invitation. At this point in time it may not be the twenty pounds but I plan that it must be twelve pounds. My Christmas present to me. Good health and good friends.
