    so y'all know that there's only 36 days till Christmas

    and dependent on weight to lose you really should be aiming for anywhere from 0.5 to 2lbs per week

    by my calculations that's somewhere between 2.5 - 10lbs as a sensible target, bearing in mind that weight loss ain't linear

    good luck on your journeys - don't set yourselves up to fail though

    your point is correct, true, and I hope well taken by the PPs, @rabbitjb but your math is wrong, there are 36 days till Christmas ;) - which doesn't change your main point at all, 12 lbs in 36 days is still pretty unrealistic

    I only pointed it out in case it made anyone else panic (I saw 27 and had a momentary heart-stopped moment!)

    yeah I actually made myself panic and started shopping for the children - still that's one present down, a zillion to go

    Haha well we started on Nov. 9 (45 or 46 days to Christmas... some of us, anyway). Not going to lie, my actual goal is by the end of December and if I don't get there I'm fine continuing in January. Just need to make sure I don't derail myself for 9 months again just because of one holiday :neutral_face:

    My doctor said I have to lose 5 by 12/30 (although I've already lost 3 since he said that), but I am shooting for at least 10, so why not make it 12? I'm in.

    I'm in, might try for 5-10 though haha. 2lbs would be supppper challenging with 6 weeks to go at my weight.
