Christmas Challenge!!!

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...

SN--- Forensikchic SW--194 GW---174 CW--194 lbs to goal--- 20

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!

I can do it!!

I"m ready for the challenge! I was 1 lb shy of reaching my goal of 230 for the Halloween Challenge, but I am so happy how far I've come.

Starting Weight - 230

Goal Weight - 215

lbs to Goal - 16

If I lose 16 lbs, I'll be the same weight I was when I was almost 10 years ago. That would make me so happy :) Then, i'll finally be able to visualize that ultimate goal I have of 175.

Good luck everyone!

I'm in! I actually met my Halloween goal so I hope I can have the same success with the Christmas goal.

I will do my best

The Halloween challenge was my first ever and it was fun to follow peoples' progress and it helped me to stay motivated with a mini-goal. I beat my Halloween goal by 2 pounds. So I'm very happy. I've set my Christmas goal with a 2 lbs a week weight loss in mind. I think that's reasonable and doable.

It's so exciting to think that I won't mind my picture being taken this holiday season!!!

Ok, I missed my Halloween goal of 185 lbs (and 50% of my excess weight) by 2 lbs. Time to step it up for the Christmas Challenge! I hope to weigh 174 lbs and be OVERWEIGHT instead of Obese! I haven't been "just overweight" since I was 7 or 8! I think that 13 lbs is doable, and I probably might even pass this goal before Christmas :smile1:

I'm in. This is going to be my birthday goal as well since the bday is right after Christmas. I said when I started this journey that I wanted be to under 200 by my birthday.

Came up 6lbs shor on my halloween goal so i gotta work extra hard for xmas

Sw....206......Gw.....190.......lbs to goal 16

I missed the Halloween goal by a couple of lbs. My weight loss has been slow for the past 3 months -- I lost 6.5 lbs. this past month (which was my best month since July) and that was with some really hard working out (I only missed working out on 4 days out of 31). I am setting what for me is a realistic but challenging goal, which is to lose slightly over 10 lbs before Christmas. If I hit this goal, I will start 2012 off being less than 10 lbs. to my ultimate goal weight, which will be SO COOL!

I have to say these challenges really to help me stay motivated with my weight loss! Even though I have always fallen short of my challenge goals, I've always come close and it's very satisfying to see my progress over time.

Excited to see others with this as a "birthday" challenge too - day after is my bday!

I haven't hit a "stall" yet and I know it's coming now that my body is finally on the upswing so I am trying to be realistic on the goal.

Ok, I'm in too. I didn't do the Hallowe'en one 'cos previously I kep falling way short and got really cheesed off...

Now, I have come to terms with my slow weight loss ... so, I'll shoot for my surgeon's goal for the ultimate christmas pressie - that short of Robbie Williams in his tiger pants, of course!
