    Of course, you can definately do that! Christmas is 5 months and 1 day away, that is 10 lbs a month which is 1 lb every 3 days, completely possible if you are dedicated! You have to WANT IT

    My goal is more like 5 lbs a month so by Christmas I'm hoping to have lost 25 or so. But man, 50 would be awesome!

    I think it is a great goal, I lost 40 pounds in 4 months, My weight loss is slowing down now but I am shooting for 70lbs lost by my birthday which is right before christmas. Feel free to friend me if you would like!

    Yes, you can absolutely do it! It won't require perfection every day, but it will require commitment and drive. I joined MFP June 16, 2011 and I was down 70.5 by Christmas.

    I know 10 pounds is nothing like fifty-but, I would like to reach my ultimate goal by the holidays. count me in as a motivator.The ultimate goal is a 57 pound loss!!

    I lost 40 pounds last year-regained some and now am working on goal 4 which is a total of fifty pounds lost. I am 2.3 pounds from that goal.
    You will feel so much better and your confidence will soar-lets do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Someone dedicated should make a 50 lbs by Christmas group! I'm going to Vegas 12/28 so I have set my goal to 50 lbs by that day!

    I plugged my goal into a spreadsheet and made a column for 1 lb per week vs 2 pounds per week to see how long it would take to reach my goal. Please feel welcome to add me as a friend, as "Christmas" is about what my 2 lb per week rate comes out to be.

    I would love to lose that much by Christmas! I would have to work my butt off though. I tend to only lose 5 lbs a month so if I lost 30 by then it would be great! You guys can add me. I need as much motivation as I can get. I start losing it after about 6 weeks so I really need it!

    Hi, I want in!
    I'm working, slowly, but surely, on adding everyone who is going to make this a goal to my friend's list.

    I must say UP FRONT that I will probably not make the goal.... but it doesn't mean you guys can't and it doesn't mean I can't have fun trying, right!? I am a SUPER SLOW loser especially since having two kids and a hysterectomy. I want everyone to be OK with it if they don't make the goal, it is a hefty one and leaves little to no room for mistakes, or as I like to call them "bumps" in the road/journey. Don't join the challenge if you think it may leave you wanting to quit or give up when you realize you haven't quite made the goal. Be happy with progress...ANY PROGRESS....

    Ok, so let's start losing! Add me if I missed you or haven't got to you yet. :D

    Depends on how much you have to lose. If I were to lose 50 lbs by xmas I'd be 100 lbs and dying :laugh: but if you have 50 or more to lose then I really think you could get it done very well. There are 22 weeks until xmas. At 1.5 lbs a week (sometimes you'll lose 2, sometimes nothing, sometimes 1.) That is about 33 lbs. If you REALLY put yourself to it, you can lose 44 or a little more.

    Do NOT starve yourself to do this and do NOT overwork yourself. Working out for 6 hrs a day is not going to benefit your health, even if it does make you lose weight.

    It is a great goal but maybe you could say by new year or change it to 40lbs by xmas - then when you blast by that target you can feel even better. :smile:
