Nov. 1, 2015 I'm starting a Christmas Countdown. Anyone else want to join me in losing weight over the holidays? Waking up Christmas morning 15 lb lighter would be the best gift I can give myself. 'Tis the season to be healthy...and jolly!

    I'd like to join you, but 15 pounds is too aggressive for me. My goal is 200 (from 208) by Christmas.

    I'd like to join you! As dfree4wb said, 15 pounds might be a stretch, but I would love to try. It would put me at my goal....definitely a great Christmas gift!

    I'll try for 15 but 10 is probably more realistic for me as well. Doesn't mean I won't try lol.

    To be honest, 10 is more realistic for me too. I'm aiming high anyway- lets do this!

    Just started with fit bit 10 days ago and I am in. Have lost 1.5 kilo already. So your goal is doable.

    I would love to join as well! 15 pounds may seem like a lot, but, as they say, if you aim for the moon and fall short, you'll still be among stars :)

    I'm in! Are you creating a group for this?

    Also, anyone can friend me. I would like to build my friends list with those who are truly motivated to shed the lbs!

    15, get ready to go!

    Count me in! I need a little motivation to get through the next 8 weeks! It would be so awesome to be slim at Christmas and at goal weight at the beginning of 2016!
