    I want to lose 25lbs more by Christmas. Putting me at a 50lb total loss :) Im going on a trip to the beach in Indonesia and would love to fit into a new bathing suit. I know 25lbs is a stretch but I just did it in a little under 10 weeks, so I know I can do it!

    Me! Me! I would like to join. Although joining in with someone else's sentiments, I will not be putting any food off limits or making strict rules. I will just say that I will log everyday and I will do something for my health everyday- whether it be taking a walk, chosing the salad over the wings, or packing a healthier lunch so I don't feel compelled to go buy something. :) Here's to a challenge!

    Should we start a group so we can have weekly weigh ins on a thread and support and chit chat on other threads?

    :D OK I'm in - after doing really well with mfp I am now stuck and have been for about 6 months, just yo-yoing up and down a couple of pounds at a time. I'm now 8 pounds higher than I was and I still had 10 pounds to go then. So I need some motivation please - will welcome new friends to help me achieve 14 pounds before Xmas

    I'm in!! Just started this plan last week and hope to stick with it. 10 pounds by Christmas might be a little aggressive but I will give it the old college try. Currently 5'5" and 152 pounds. My goal is 140 and completely doable. I have not been exercising and eating too much for the past 2 years. Needless to say the pounds have crept up on me. I used to freak out when the scale inched off of 140. Then I accepted 145 ... What the heck my clothes still fit right? I also think retailers have done us a huge disservice. You can buy a size 8 at one store that is completely different than a size 8 at another. OK so I admit I started buying clothes that said 8 but were probably 10's. Then the last 5 pounds appeared. And now it is fall and time to get into some of the clothes from last year. Well, why don't they fit??? So, that's were I am. Going to get back on track and get rid of the 10 plus pounds. I would be happy to share what works for me and hopefully help you too. Any help or advise you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
    Did I mention I am 57 years old and this isn't as easy as it used to be 10-20 years ago but then again not much is the same there either.
    Success to you and hope to make new friends.

    My goal is to get down to ONEderland by Christmas. I have lost 7 pounds in about 3 weeks now and 26 pounds overall. I am down to 209.4. So, I'm more driven than ever to ring in the new year under 200 pounds! Especially with the holidays coming up, I am really going to try to make sure not to sabotage myself by eating all of the sweets and treats and carbs!
