Anyone interested in a Christmas challenge?

Seeing as how Christmas is six months from tomorrow, this would be a longish challenge. It would be for 26 weeks (26 weekly weigh ins). Anyone interested?

Count me in! It's approximately 15 weeks till X-mas so Im going for 2lbs a week making it a 30lb weight loss goal. My Actual goal would be to weigh in at 175 making it a total weight loss of 34 lbs. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

I can't remember if I signed up for this or not, but I definitely want to get in on this. I have a ticker already on my profile and am hoping to see One-derland by Christmas. :thumbup:

Just got my data entered into the spreadsheet with my starting weight of 230 on 6/24. My goal is to get to onderland by Christmas. I'm at 214 today.

I'm in for 20 lbs. by Christmas!

I'm so close (15.2lbs, which equals out to a little more than a pound a week). Unfortunately, I'm having band issues and go in for a fluro on Wednesday. I had an appt on the 10 (I was hungrier and though I needed a fill). I actually came away with having some fluid taken out. The physicians assitant thought I was overfilled because I would vomit maybe once a week. Well, a week later I'm still vomiting and she scheduled the flouro to see if everything is ok.

i'm in!

I go for 20 lbs (~10kilos):thumbup:

Somehow I disappeared from the spreadsheet, so I just added myself back in.

I've changed my goal to a more realistic one though. There's no way I'm going to be able to lose 56 more pounds in the next 3 months! :lol:

I've changed my goal to 230 instead of 200.

This is encouraging, as I need to get back on track... and all are doing so well on your challenge:thumbup: ~ Continued Success to each of you!

Yesterday was the "official" halfway point. We have been doing this for three months and have three more to go. We currently have a total of 571 lbs lost- that's incredible!!!

So how is everyone doing on their goal? I've only fot 13.6lbs more to go on mine. I'm trying to decide if I should bump it up some more, but I think I'll stick with my original goal.

Here's the spreadsheet link again, just so we don'thave to go searching back through everything.

Hi! Just joined! I was successful in my last challenge - which was a memorial day one back before the summer. Hoping to be successful with this one too!

I also try to set short term goals but having a long term one like this helps keep me focused on the future.

I'm in the same boat! Only have about 15 or so left to lose and I should definitely hit that before Christmas. I'm not sure if I want to change my goal or not; I probably won't. Plus it always feels great to surpass it!

I haven't lost weight in 6 months :smile2: due to just not trying. I really need a kick in the butt. Now that the weather is starting to get cooler, I am beginning to walk again.

I want to lose about 10-15 pounds by Christmas--get me down to 200 pounds which will be nice!

I would like to join in on your challenge, hoping to lose 20.

Thank you!
