Alright, maybe it is a bit early, but I figured there's no harm in setting an early wish!

I've seen a few folks talking about what they want to be "at" by christmas. Either sizes in clothes or a certain weight.

Well I figured - I will set my goal of what I WISH for Christmas and see if anyone else wants to join me in making that wish come true.

Sort of a commitment thread, sort of a challenge and sort of a "support" thingy.

Dawg's Christmas Wish:

I Wish I was 204 pounds by Christmas. This will make my total loss (since joining LBT) of 103 pounds, and place me in the "normal" BMI for my height.

I wish I would weigh 199 lbs. at Christmas!

LOL um...i already started this thread. Great minds think alike dawg.

it needs to be restarted though because my leaving threw a wrench in keeping the goal and weigh in page up to date.

My christmas goal is 230. I am currently 296.

I wondering if I should lower my goal for Christmas? Since having surgery, I am down to 281, my Christmas goal is 275. I think I will make that by middle/end of Sept. What would be a reasonable goal? 260? 250?

I have no clue how fast/slow this weight is gonna come off.

I think I am going in to the "just got banded" freak out stage.

Scared/hopeful/nervous-- you know, the old "oh dear sweet God, is this thing really gonna help me" phase

LOL um...i already started this thread. Great minds think alike dawg.

Well shame on me! I did a search but didn't find it. Why don't you fire it back up and we can let this one die?

nah...the other one i think people are leaving alone cause i left. we will let this one breathe new life into the christmas wish list for people.

Well,

If ya'll want, we can do running totals or whatever ya like I'm open to ideas.

I'll jump in....

My Christmas wish (Hanukkah and Kwanzaa too!) is to be 400lbs. That would mean I need to lose 103lbs since 12/06 , or 67 lbs from today.

I think its a lofty goal, but I don't mind a challenge.

I wish to be at my final goal weight (between 189-199) and in size 34 pants. I'm at 217 now, so I bettre step up the exercise... it gets harder to lose at this point, I can tel ya!

I want to be in 34 waist pants, because then when folks ask me how much I lost from my waistline, I can say happily... 2 feet.

Will be band in 2 weeks YAY and my Christmas Wish List is to have lost 50 lbs its a big wish But hey you never know! go Donna ~ go Donna ~ go Donna WOOHOOO!

I would love to lose 30 by Christmas. I figured that would be about 2 pounds a week. I think thats possible, don't you?

Dear Santa,

I would really appreciate it if you help me to shed 3o pounds by Christmas. That would make me 220 and a size 16....please pretty please...I dont want anything else...oh..well..maybe some size 16 jeans.

Thanks,

Holly
