    I'm in! I just started on MFP this week and already lost a pound :) My overall goal is 40lbs so 20 by Xmas is perfect for me!

    My current weight is 159, so 139 sounds great!!!

    So, how do we proceed? Do we post our weight every week in here? what's the mechanic?

    Hi Everyone!

    What a great challenge! I am new to MFP - just joined on Sunday, so about to do my first weekly weigh-in. I would love to participate in this. Im not sure how to flag this as a group or thread? If anyone has some tips as to how to navigate these posts efficiently, I'm listening!

    Cheers

    I too have a goal to lose 20 lbs by Christmas. Would be great not to have another New Year resolution to lose those pounds!!

    COUNT ME IN!!!! I'm currently 154lbs in hopes to be 150 by the end of October. 140 by the end of November. And 130 by the end of December. This challenge sounds like it's gonna be lots of fun! Good luck everyone! Please feel free to add me. I look forward to meeting other members joining the challenge :)

    3 lbs down this week! 17 to go. :-) I met a goal of mine as well, 250 lbs and I am at 249!!!

    Let's see if we can't maximize this 20 lbs by Christmas and then some! :-)

    Do we have an official weigh in day? I weigh for another challenge on Saturdays so unless you want to do something different that's when I'll weigh in.

    SW:171
    CW:168 = 3lbs lost this week
    GW:151

    How's everyone else doing? This week I have been working on pushups(UGH!) and toe reaching crunches(sort of ugh) plus trying to gradually sneak in a bit more cardio.
    I've increased my water average from 11 glasses to 14. I have been a little low on fresh fruits and veggies since our Farmer's Market has closed for the season. It's hard to buy grocery store produce at grocery store prices. I have been spoiled this summer.
    I hope the group will be able to share what's working for them.

    I will definitely join you! I can't promise that I won't put back 10 of the 20 I lost once Christmas actually gets here though! Maybe I should aim for 30! Haha! Just kidding... I'm going to make sure my family has healthy options for snacking and holiday dinners. The holiday seasons are the worst for me... all that food!

    7 pounds down in my first week here.

    I still think 20 is going to be a challenge by xmas but trying.

    Working on a plan for getting my work outs in while on vacation this week and next. I will be visiting family that are all overweight and do not exercise. I am hoping to be a motivation for them. Plus, I figure they have some gym equipment hiding somewhere that isn't being used. I will start with the basement :)

    Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving to any Canadians on here. I have just completed my first two week weigh in towards my 20lb Christmas goal. Down 5.1 lbs. Now the real challenge is not to blow it all on my Thanksgiving dinner. Hope everyone else is doing well with the challenge..

    I would love to be apart of this challenge. I am fairly new to the web site (only a week in), so I don't have many friends on here. It will be a good motivator.
