    Yes, yes, yes!! Count me in!!

    I'm actually new to the group, so feel free to add me as I can use ALLLLLLLLLLL of the motivation in the world right now.

    My name is Robin. I'm from small town VA, but currently living in MD - about 10 minutes from the DC line. I've been big since birth...10.5 lbs and 25 inches long. It was cute when I was a baby, but at 5'10....300+ pounds is NOT cute no matter how well you carry it.

    My starting weight is 302 pounds.
    By Christmas, I would like to be 260 pounds. Thats 42 pounds, which can be obtained with proper diet and exercise. It's also in the 'safe' range of 2 pounds per week. I figure if I put the aggressive goal out there, I have no choice but to try and obtain it!

    I look forward to jinglin' off these pounds with you all!

    Hi all! I'm in for the challenge :)

    My name is Jessica and I live in Texas. Right now I would like to lose about 5-7 pounds but am more interested in maintaining my weight until Christmas.

    My starting weight is 120 and I weighed 139 when I gave birth to my daughter almost 2 years ago. I'd like to get down to a goal weight of 115 and then see what happens from there. I could use the motivation to stay on my grind and I'm looking forward to doing the same for you all!

    Feel free to add me :)

  • I'm on this! I have a mini goal of getting to 250 by the end of September for my friend's birthday ziplining adventure (which I'm currently too big for!!) and I have longer term goals as well, so I am EXCITED for the motivation. Motivation is the only thing that has ever worked for me, and my group motivation last summer was AMAZING. Too bad I fell off the wagon. Back on again! Let's do this!!

    PS: Who DOESN'T love the name of this challenge, am I right?? Adorable.


    Laura. 25. 5'6". Kentucky.

    SW for challenge: 268
    Christmas GW: 230
    Pounds Lost: 38

    Goal #1 Aug 23: 258
    Goal #2 Sept 23: 250
    Goal #3 Oct 23: 242
    Goal #4 Nov 23: 235
    Goal #5 Dec 23: 230


    I'm starting pharmacy school in August, so I KNOW I'm going to get bogged down at the end of the semester with class and maybe slip with exercise so keeping it reasonable at the end. Hopefully that won't be the case, but I'm trying not to set myself up for failure, given the circumstances. Best Christmas present ever?? Surpassing the 230 goal, which would mean I'm back in my high school weight land!

    Feel free to add me, I'm new to the group! :)

    Hi, ladies! I am so excited for this challenge. I was going to do a personal, "Birthday Challenge" because my birthday is December 21, just four days from Christmas, but this is so much better. Having support and the motivation of (friendly) competition is a great way for us to move towards our goals. And, even though I know there are prizes involved and we're "competing" - I can't wait to see you all on December 25 after we all hit our goals!

    ************
    My height is 5'11''

    SW - 294.2
    GW - 250.2

    Goal 1 - August 25 = -8.8 (285.4)
    Goal 2 - September 22 = -8.8 (276.6)
    Goal 3 - October 27 = -8.8 (267.8)
    Goal 4 - November 24 = -8.8 (259.0)
    Goal 5 -December 25 = -8.8 (250.2)

    *************

    I typically weigh-in on Saturday, but I was only recording my weight once a month. For this challenge, I will update my weight weekly, when I weigh-in on Saturday.

    Good luck, everyone!
