seems like a very definable reasonable goal. I'm 215 and change so 205 would be great. heck right now I'd take 210 because at least the scale is on a downward trend rather then the recent upswing that has been so prominent for the last several months. But the goal is 205 by 2/14/193

I can do this! I am in a 1200 calorie deficit and my current weight is 147. My goal.weight is 125.1

I'm not sure what my weight is (i wanted to lose some before weighing so as not to get discouraged by how much I'm starting out at) but I'm on day 31 of logging and the way my pants fit I'm guessing I'm in the 210 area. So I will officially weigh in and start January 1st and determine my goal from there then weigh in weekly.
Good luck!
Ok so I decided to bite the bullet and weigh this morning. So I'll will be doing my weigh ins on Fridays. Hoping to get under 200 by challenge end.
CW: 210.4
Challenge goal: 199.8
Final goal: 126ish
@sassysmom35 You are my challenge twin. I had put starting weight 210 and GW 199 ie Onederland.
I did the same as you, started logging food but didn't step on scale not to get discouraged by the number. I estimate I have lost 20 lbs already.
I am 5ft7. My UGW is 130ish
That's awesome. Except for height we are total twinsies! That'll make it even more fun to have someone similar in so many ways. Do you mind if I add you as a friend?
Please do. It'll be great to continue this journey together!2 -

Hi Jen, I would do this! Add me on here and we can share FB info to form a group. I like the format on FB- it's a little more personal. (Of course that's exactly what some people are trying to avoid, but they just won't join.)1 -

I’m in for 6 lbs by 2/14. Have two vacations scheduled in there so will try to incorporate more walks and fewer umbrella drinks.

I'm game. Hopefully this will be a mini goal and keep me on track.
Highest Weight: 212
Current Weight: 209
Challenge Goal: 199
Ultimate Goal: 140
So far so good, just trying to be mindful. Cutting out sugary drinks, trying to get more steps in and backing off on any leftover christmas snacks.2 -
Not sure if I can achieve this in time but I need a kick start! I'm 66 and a petite shortie.....don't have a lot to lose but need to have more control over my crazy eating habits. Current Weight: 125; Challenge Goal: 115; Ultimate Goal: 110. My goal really is to feel better about myself!3

SW: 200 lbs
CW: 151.8 lbs

Update!
I am now 148.4 lbs so a loss of 3.4 lbs. My anniversary is tomorrow and we are going to a Brazilian steakhouse so I'm expecting a water weight increase afterwards which usually takes me several days to flush out. Not going to let it deter me though!2 -
Well done on the losses @BMcC9 and @etherealanwar ! And welcome to our recent joiners.
My weight stayed the same over Christmas, New Year and my birthday... which is something of a miracle. My final holiday-season hurdle is tomorrow - my mother's birthday dinner. Luckily the restaurant has posted their nutritional info, so I know in advance that I'm looking at a 1400 calorie dinner! (eek!), so I'm planning a big hike in the morning to pre-emptively earn some of those calories!6 -

I think it's just being female and peri-menopause...it was always bad with the monthly water swings, but it's getting worse as I age.
I need to get back on the scale at some point this weekend.2 -
Hey all! I’d love to join this. My doctor has agreed that it’s something that is doable. I’m 219 today and my goal weight by feb 14th is 205. If I really stick with it, I feel like I can do this. I’m just at that first week stage where I am still craving all of the junk so I would love some encouragement. If anyone wants to add me as a friend, I’d love it!7
