My goal is to lose 10 pounds by Christmas. That is about 7 weeks from now, so if I lost 1.5 pounds each week I could attain this goal. I think it is doable.

Anyone with me? We can post daily our food intake and exercise and support one another for the next 7+ weeks to attain our goals!

    Looking at your ticker, it looks like we have very similar starting and goal weights. :smile:

    I've been losing a teeny bit faster than 1 pound/week, but nowhere near 1.5 pounds, but I'm cool with that. I'm going to keep on keeping on, and if I stay at the same rate, I should be at my goal sometime in January. I won't mind if I get there by Christmas though!

    Do we want to check in daily with a report on whether we met our daily calorie and exercise goals or just weekly with a weigh in? Maybe we can do both and people can choose what they want to do.

    Today I was within my calorie goals (1600 w/ exercise cals) and ran 4 miles (400 cals burned)

    Day one down.

    My starting weight: 165
    Goal weight for Christmas: 155

    How did everyone else do today?

    down 2 -ish today :bigsmile: "ish" cuz i did WI at 210 but then kept fluxing a 1 or 2 upward...mind you am sick, so hopefully doesn't come back by friday lol [I usually do a weekly weighin around friday] dunno if I am down from being sick or what, missed today's workout as well...

    so Highest weight ever was 252 then lost about 30lbs last year and gained a couple back, joined MFP in July:

    SW: 225
    CW: 208.2 (as of tonight)
    GW:180 (and then reaccess from there)

    so i guess xmas goal is to be in ONEderland at 198 or less :smile:

    I've done well the last 2 days since I've joined this group. Well within my calorie limit but not exercising since I'm back to work after a month hiatus and I'm exhausted !!! It's going to be beautiful weather, sunny and 50's the rest of the week, so my goal is to take a walk every day at lunch before I get too tired.
    Won't be weighing in until Friday. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Polliesgirl- good job so far, sorry to hear you are sick!

    Cynder- Not to late to join! Welcome!

    Beccera- Welcome and good luck!

    dragonfuly74- I am doing p90x- a beachbody product. I am not aware of their fasts... good thing it is only two days, I am not sure if I would make it one. Are you doing a beachbody program?

    Sheilajane- Glad to hear the last two days have gone well! It is easier to stay on track when you have a place to check in. Hope you are able to get out there to exercise since it feels so good! Good luck on the weigh in. I weigh on Tuesdays usually but weighed on Sunday this week. Hoping for 1.5 pound loss by then.


    As for me, I have done well the last two days as well. Within my calorie range both days and exercised both days as well! On to day three!

    Hope everyone else is doing great!

    Thanks :flowerforyou:

    feeling much better today. was 206 on the scale this morning, but scared to count that as anything, don't wanna check in only to have to put it back up, so will try to wait til friday to log it (altho if i get that number again tomorrow morning i may not be able to contain my excitement that long!!! :laugh: )

    didn't do my elliptical after work, but went to zumba...had to take it easy about half way thru, felt a bit woozy...guess im still a lil worn and dehydrated...

    good luck! lets do this everyone! :bigsmile:

    How's everyone today?

    I am good so far, need to go get groceries tonight my fridge is empty which is bad news when it comes to being healthy cuz i'll start scouring for anything with taste LOL :noway:

    but sorta getting bored with food so need to change things up, not sure how yet, guess ill figure it out when i get to the grocery store :ohwell:

    I am thinking for tonight picking up a roasted chicken i can pick on for the rest of the week, lots of veggies, some wraps and maybe a nice whole wheat bread and fat free cheeses cuz i been craving grill cheese and tomato soup :smile: when I am not in the mood to make anything big or fancy.

    What's your go to healthy meal lately?

    Hope everyone is having a fab day! It snowed here yesterday :noway: still in denile about that

    PG:flowerforyou:
