    My goal is to lose 15 pounds by the time we go to CO next June. Maybe this challenge will help me. I will say my goal will be to lose half of that by New Years. How's that for slow and easy?:happy:

    Hello, I will support you in this challenge. My goal is to lose 13 more by the end of the year. By doing so, I will have reached the initial goal I set for weight loss when I started MFP. :happy:

    My goal is to do 22, but I'm keen to try for 29.

    I'm currently doing 30ds and C25k so hopefully I'll get some good results with those!

    I'd like to join up but my goal is a body fat goal. I'm at 28% and would love to get down to 21% by year end. I still need the encouragement to get it done. I can keep in line with my eating habits, but I drag my behind when it comes to the workouts.

    Count me in! It's going to be extremely hard but I am willing to give it my all. MFP is such a great motivational tool.

    I'm a few days behind everyone, is it too late to join in on the challenge? I'd love to loose 20lbs by the new year, that averages 2lbs per week and I think that is a good goal and yet challenging. I am looking for support and eager to give it as well. I have found the last few weeks challenging and looking to get refocused. I hope I am still able to join in on the challenge and I wish everyone well in thier goals.

    I weighed in this morning and loss half a pound. I have started my weight training again, so I'm almost positive that's the reason. I didn't lose more...hopefully next weeks weigh in will be much better!

    I didnt weigh in last week. we lost power for 4 days and ate out A LOT then the halloween candy. it was just a bad bad week and i was afraid to because I know i gained, i can feel it. I didnt want it to really discourage me. I will weigh in this week though and I am still trying to meet the goal!!! good luck to everyone =)

    @Mamapaints we weigh in on Fridays. And of course you're welcome to join us. I placed the challenge at 29 because that's how much I need to lose. Others have done the same based one their specific goals. I see any weight loss as success!
