in Motivation and Support
So I have hit a bit of a slump these last few weeks, since the nights started getting darker earlier. So I have decided to set myself a goal and make it in to a bit of a challenge to spur me on.

I want to open this challenge up to everyone for motivation etc.

The goal you will need to have is a target loss you want to achieve by the end of DEC or XMAS.

My goal is 25lbs.

I will be tweeting my ups and downs etc with the hash tag #lossforxmas if you are a tweeter too maybe you could use this tag as well.

It would be really fun to have some people to help push me and people I can help to push as well.

So who's in?

    I'm done! I'd love to lose 10 pounds by NYE. Anything more would be a blessing! And I am looking for more MFP "friends". The more support I have, the better I seem to do!

    Fantastic, this is great. I thought it would be a good place for us to share ideas, tips, problems, motivating things etc in this thread.

    If you haven't already, feel free to add me :) plus add each other etc.

    I am hoping to lose 10 by Christmas or NYE. I seem to lose at a slower rate, so I would be really happy to attain this. I weighed in this morning at 168. Anywhere in the 150's would be great before 2012. The lower, the better, of course!

    Thanks for the extra motivation and challenge.

    I am very into this. My goal is 18 pounds. (If more that is great too!)

    What do we have to do? Just post daily?

    I'm going to continue to weigh myself weekly! ^_^ And just post the weigh-ins on twitter and on my profile as well.

    My name is @monkeymin on twitter. I will be posting with the hashtag #lossforxmas if you put it on your saved search it will be easy to follow the tweets.

    For those without twitter I will also be posting here. Stating your goal is a great place to start as apparently we are more likely to succeed with a goal if you share it.

    I'm in!
    I'm gonna shoot for 10-20 pounds gone by Christmas. Anything more than that would be overly optimistic.
    I'd really love to get out of this yo-yo thing my weight has been doing since September!
    Starting at 226 lbs. Hoping to get down between 206 & 216

    Starting the 30DS over today.
    Made it to Level 3 Day 2 last month, so doing the whole thing in November shouldn't be an issue

    Do you think we should have a weekly weigh in? To give us something to work towards. Just note if we have a loss etc?

    I think so. I like to see the progress and it keeps me on target.
