I have Christmas on my mind. I think it's simply because that was the last time that I actually liked the way I looked. Since then I have put 14lbs back on. My profile pic makes me happy, Christmas morning with my family and I felt happy and I received TONS of compliments that Holiday Season. There are 19 weeks until Christmas 2011 and I have 23lbs to go, mark my words... I WILL BE TO MY GOAL WEIGHT ON DECEMBER 25, 2011! Come hell or high water, damnit!!!!! Who's with me?! I said, WHO'S WITH ME??? {ok dramatic, I know} But really, any takers?? =)

I am looking for some more DEDICATED friends that have similar goals. I need people to crack the whip and dish out some tough love!!!

    i have 60 left to do by Christmas!!!! Thus far I've been loosing about 4 lbs a week so totally do able! When I come back from disney it'll be the hardest because I'll have the last 60 lbs left to loose which'll come off the slowest! I'm highly motivated and highly dedicated.

    I have also been thinking about Christmas already, which is pretty normal for me, but this year I am extra excited because I want to get to my 100 pounds lost goal by then. I have 38 pounds to go before I hit that 100 pound goal! With 19 weeks left before Christmas it equals out to losing 2 pounds a week for me, which I think is pretty doable, as long as I don't hit any snags, such as plataeus! It's going to be a close one but I think we can do it! So, count me in!! Let's do this! Then we can all get a new wardrobe for Christmas! LOL!

    Hi. I'm Amanda. I have about 50# to lose and I belive this can be accomplished in 4 months with some serious dedication and tough love. Granted, it has taken me about a month and half to lose 6# but maybe with some additional support from MFP, my dream can become my reality. LET'S ****IN' DO THIS!!!! Hooo- wah!!!!!!!! (Trying to get into the spirit.) =)

    I would like to be in too! The more support the better. This site is wonderful. I ideally have about 80 pounds still to lose, but I would LOVE to have 40 of them gone by christmas. I dont remember the last holiday that I felt good. I would like to be able to have pictures taken of me instead of me always being the picture taker so i can avoid looking at myself later. ha.

    LETS DO IT!!! :-)
