I plan on shedding around 15-20lbs before Christmas. If you'd like to join me, please reply! I'd also love it if anyone who is interested would add me as well. :D

    I'm not sure how possible this is for me but I don't see why I can't try! Losing 20 lbs would have me nearly halfway to my goal weight.

    When I first read this, I was thinking that is impossible! Then I did the math and seen that it was only a little over 2 lbs a week. I could do this, even if I only lost half, it would be ten less pounds I’d have to lose next year! What do I have to lose? Well besides weight LOL! Count me in! Looking forward to doing it with a group too ;)

    Even really fat people would have a hard time losing 20 lbs in 7 weeks. And you are not fat. You are very skinny. You are very beautiful now, but I think you would be better off gaining 5 than losing 20. My fiance is 5'11" and her lowest weight ever was 130 and she looked way too skinny. I think she looks fantastic at 160 and wouldn't be as attracted to he if she dropped below 150. Ask any man on this site - fit is sexy, skinny/bony is not.

    Agreed, the amount of muscle you would have to lose to go down 20 lbs would be detrimental to the system. Less muscle means a slower metabolism, less controll over insulin and a great chance to get to an ED.


    And 20 lbs for anyone to lose over 8 weeks will be very tough, especially if you want to retain muscle mass. I am not saying it can't be done and I will defnitely join this thread to lose weight before xmas, but in terms of everyones safety, we should set more realistic goals, like 10 lbs by xmas.
