Last year I was really embarrassed seeing people I'd not seen for a few months because I had put on so much weight. This year I want it to be a different story!

Who is with me?!

    Count me in definitely, that's been my goal with starting WW and MFP, our son is home for Christmas and I want to be in shape, I refused to even be in the photos last year, and I don't ever want to feel like that again.. On another plus, I hadn't realized there was a group for Fibro, brilliant....

    Oh, I didn't know you had fibro! This group was just recently set up. Such a fab idea.

    I think I'm going to aim for 21lbs by Christmas. Eeep! Scary.

    Count me in toooo!!! My original "I can do anything goal had me @ my goal weight by the end of the year......that means 59 more lbs to go on that goal! I will be shocked if I make it but I am going to focus on that goal and see where I end up ~ who knows; I might surprise myself!! The worst that can happen is I get close ~ :laugh:

    Okay I've just done the maths and figure I'd like to lose at least another 20 lbs by Christmas. I am at a 16 lb loss today so far after 9 weeks but I think you always start strong as you have more to lose, cracking 135 has always been really hard for me so I would be happy with breaking that milestone. Here is to G and T's all around when we reach our goals.

    I'm on with you! We will be having a big family Christmas this year, and not only would I like to look reasonably good but would like to be able to enjoy some of the usual goodies of the season without so much guilt. Let's go!

    Well, that's about 23 weeks away so I would LOVE to be down another 40 lbs by then.

    How are you all doing with our "slim for Christmas" goals?

    Really not a goal of mine to be slim for Christmas because we don't go anywhere anyway. I just want to lose this extra weight. Of course if I am slim for Christmas, maybe I could ask for clothes! LOL
