I decided since today is October 25th, we are exactly two months away from Christmas to start a challenge. I participated in the Halloween one and it worked out great. I have 6 more days of that one, but I am close to my goal. I am so excited about that, I want to do it again!

Do you guys want to do a Christmas challenge? If so...

I will start it off...

For this challenge, the starting weight is what you start the challenge at, not your original starting weight. Good luck peeps and I hope we have a lot of people do this challenge too! I say shoot for the moon!

Is there any interest in a Valentines day goal? I figure we only have a matter of a few days left in this challenge so why not start thinking about our goals for say Valentines day? Its about 7 weeks from Christmas. I am thinking I can do 15 pounds maybe by then. Anyone else interested in doing a valentines challenge?

Are you planning to start a new thread with the Valentine's Challenge?

Are you planning to start a new thread with the Valentine's Challenge?

Yes. I wanted to try to gauge how much interest there would be in it. When do you think we should start it? December 26th? Im just tossing out ideas..

I'm going to go out on a limb here that by the decreased number of people posting their progress, people are maybe struggling meeting their xmas goal. So, imo- the sooner the better. I personally had a good break through, but then all this past week I've been struggling with all the goodies at work and soooo... I'm up 3# from where I was. It's nobody's fault but my own. Thank God this sleeve keeps me from doing too much damage!

Well, last time I started the Xmas one the week before Halloween because it was the 25 and exactly two months away... Not too many people joined at first because they werent done with halloween. I want to be sure people are ready for a new one so I was thinking of starting the day after the xmas one is over with..even though we are just days away! If others think we should start it now instead of waiting...please chime in!

Ok, so its been another tough challenge, and after a stall and a 6lb re-bound, I've had a loss, and I'm now 2lb from both christmas, and my final goal. I'm guessing I wont make 2lb in 3 days, but I'm actually pretty happy here for now.

Merry Christmas! xx

The day after Christmas sounds good to me. That gives us just over 7 weeks to meet goal.

I agree, starting the 26th gives us a chance to officially finish this one. Even though alot of us won't be meeting our goal we can be proud of how close we've come to it. And I'm not figuring how close I came until Christmas morning . I look forward to the new challenge. This was my first one and I like how it gives me a reason to work toward my weight loss instead of just letting it happen.

Yayy a challenge.

It happened!!! Somehow I made goal in time for Christmas, so Christmas challenge is complete, AND so is my quest for goal, I'm so happy I have spent most of the day bursting into tears!

HOORAY!!!!! So happy for you!

I will see how I do with my goal for my surgery date, and jump into the Valentine's day challenge from there.

Good luck everyone!

Merry Christmas Sleevers! Well today I weighed in at 218.2 for the Christmas Challenge. My goal was 215....soo close! But i'm not worried, as long as the lbs are going down and not up. Plus I feel great that I've been sticking to exercise (bootcamp, yoga, running). My ultimate goal is to get to 175lbs by May. I wholeheartedly believe this can be done.

Good luck everyone!

Well, I didn't quite make it. I fell short 4#, a bummer, but just going to keep going.

Surgery weight: 271

Starting Halloween weight: 195

Current weight: 179

Xmas Goal weight: 175

Final Goal weight: 135

Well, I didnt quite make it this challenge either. I did loose 15 pounds however and I am proud of that! You never know when you might stall and mess up your challenge. I will take any loss at this stage of my life.. before surgery, I would have already been on the "gain" by now and I didnt gain any weight over the holidays, in fact lost at least 5 pounds since thanksgiving! Now, on to the New Challenge and the New Year! Its my year this time! Merry Christmas Everyone!
