Sounds like a plan. And I could do with some serious motivation from my fellow slimmers. Especially since I have just started my journey, today! It seems fitting that this fits in with christmas!
My name is Sara, I weight a lot and need to lose a lot however I'm taking it in small chunks and would like to lose 35lb by christmas. Doesnt sound that much when you take into acount my starting weight but it has been over 5 years since I have been this weight so it is a real challenge for me.

So my starting weight for today, 7/25, is 201.8. :-DLove it since I have a new year's resolution to keep for this year. I want to definitely see where I am by Christmas, yet I also don't want to lose sight of how far I've come along the way.
I'm Q. I'm 33, married with no kids. Love dachshunds. I'm also a figure skater. I've joined the synchronized skating team for this year. I'm on a low carb diet. This diet works for me, but it's not for everyone. I don't feel hungry. I have a lot more energy. I never suffer from carb comas. Sure, sometimes I just really, really want a piece of bread, but for the most part, the cravings aren't intense. My goal for this year is to get down to the weight I was when I got married. Then next year, aim for the last 20 lbs. My ultimate goal weight is 160.
Starting Weight: 202.2
Current Weight: 202.2
Goal Weight by 12/25: 180.0
Height: 5'8"
Bust: 43.5
Chest: 35

Hope I'm not too late! Hi - my name is Pam and live in Orlando, Florida. Started my fitness goals March 2010 and at year end was down about 20 pounds. In January diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Surgeries complete and I'm ready to get back at it! Been steady at tracking my food for a few weeks now and first time back at the gym this morning - treadmill to get started. Boot camp tomorrow night. I'm up for this challenge!

Ooops - almost forgot to join up - I'm definitely in!! My name is Lori, I work full-time as a medical librarian and have a husband and 3 kids (ages 14, 11, 7 1/2) . I volunteer at church and school, and will start attending a year-long weekly bible study in September. On top of the that, I am in charge of a conference for my regional profession association of medical librarians - it will be in October here in Baton Rouge and there will be approximately 200 people from 5 states attending, and the immense amount of time-consuming planning is totally starting to stress me out! So far, my weight loss has been as a result of tracking my eating on MFP but as of today, I'm adding the regular exercise component back in to my regimen. About 3 years ago, I lost 15 pounds and did 2 triathlons - I don't want to go through that torture again, but I would like to fit into the clothes that I bought back then - this is my official NSV goal. I don't have many friends on MFP so if you want to help me stay motivated and I can do the same for you, by all means friend me!!

Hi my name is Angie and I would like to join this challenge. I am a stay at home mother of 2 boys. I have 18 year mentally disabled child and a 1 year old. I have just got back on the wagon after falling off for a year after I had my baby. My baby is now 1 and I really need to focus on losing weight again. My current weight is 233. By Christmas I would like to be 200.0

I'd love to join if there is still room.
My name is Liz. I'm a 28 year old grad student who started my healthy lifestyle change at the beginning of the year. 6 months in and I really haven't moved the scale. I had lost about 10 lbs the first 3 months and gained about 5 of it back. I struggle staying motivated and find it hard to schedule exercise due to my busy schedule. All it would really take would be for me to get up an extra half an hour in the morning. I would really like to loose 2 lbs as that is typically my goal but I'm gonna start with setting it at 1 lb and if I loose more it's an added bonus.0 -
This will be my first challenge and it sounds like a great one! What a reality check on Christmas only being 5mos away...are you kidding me! I want to look good for these Christmas Parties and you are right, who wants to have the same freakin New Year's resolution. It would be nice to exclude weight loss from my New Year's resolution this year...I am not real sure how this works as far as check ins, but I am ready...this is going to be fun! 0

hope im not too late!!!
well i wanna join because its a nice time frame...goes hand in hand with another challenge i joined ( the other one will end on Halloween)...i need as much support as i can get... i have been a big girl all my adult life, all my high school years and most of my childhood...i just wanna lose so i can have some type of self esteem... and i know this is why im having so much problems in my relationship, im straining it with my constant comments about my weight and you know what they say, if you say it long enough, it will come true...well i did that and now its a problem to him...i know he'll never fully admit it but a girl knows....
so this is mainly for me and my well being and everything else comes second

HI I would like to join this Challenge as well.
I have just signed up for My Fitness Pal today so i am not sure if i even clicked the right spot to post to join this challenge, but i hope so.
I am a 25 year old female who has an office job and no children to run around with. so basically i am very inactive and need lots of motivation to keep on track and reach my goal.
Weight - 189
Goal by Christmas - 150
I will post my measurements when i get home and can take them, as right now i am posting from work!0 -
I think this is just what I need to get me motivated.
I am Melissa I have 3 kids 10yrs, 6yrs and an 11 mth old. By Christmas I should have already met my goal weight. So my goal will be to have reached my goal weight, maintained my goal weight and to be making progress on toning my body back up.
Good luck everyone 0 -
Count me in! My name is Megan and life has thrown me several curve balls the past couple of years. Some were good, some not so good. During that time I had some health issues and my weight just went up and up and up. My goal is to be fit and healthy, it really isn't about the physical appearance for me anymore. I just want to have energy and be fit. I'm so glad I have found this site.

I would love to do this too :-) as my birthday is in december this will help keep me in check :-) I'm currently 22 years old and this is my first challenge and im looking for something to kick start my weight loss, I have just finished a college course that due to stress made me neglect my health in favour of completing course work and revising for exams, Now i'm free to concentrate on my health and start on my weight loss journey.
Starting Weight: 304
Goal Weight by 12/25: 282 (I thought a goal of 1lb a week is right for me and if i lose more its always a bonus :-D)

Waist: 51
