Is anyone doing a Christmas Weightloss Challenge? If not, who wants to join me? I really need to get myself in gear and try to get 20 more pounds off before christmas and you guys are just the encouragement I need to get it done. We have 47 days, lets see what we can do!!!

Name......................Starting....Current....To Go

FluffyJen....................172..........172.........20

Oh girl Im in..... I am seeing my family at thanksgiving and then I wont see them again till christmas.. Ive almost reached my goal for thanksgiving but Im going to want to lose 20 more before christmas..... that is a really big goal but I think I can do it... we will have to keep eachother super motivated!

I want to join. I will have to work my butt off beucase I only lose 1½ a week most times. but willing to try. Count me in.

I can barely lose a lb a week so, my goal is ten lbs.

Start 185 goal 10 lbs/ 175

I want to join! I want to be at my 1st goal by my birthday which is the 23rd of Dec so that is close for me. I want to lose 15 more lbs by then.

Ya Im so excited.... Im recently havin trouble losing more than 2 pounds a week and Im working harder than I have ever worked. BUt Im starting to come to grips with it and its way better than gaining 2 lbs a week! Im excited girls.... How are you guys going to reach this goal??

I to have had trouble losing lately but I can say it is probably because I have not been exercising at all while planning my daughters wedding. The wedding was on Halloween (couple & guests in costume) and now I can concentrate on getting back to a schedule of walking, etc. I am going to make my goal by Christmas!

You are all so wonderfully ambitious to set such goals over the holidays. For me, I hoping not gain any weight between Thanksgiving & Christmas. I know myself too well, and the band won't curb me eating all the holiday goodies/drinks I like. I'm going to have to rely on will power and hopefully moderation. I don't want to push my luck on setting a high goal, as I'll probably wind up binging.

Wishing you all will power and success.

I want in too. I want to have lost a total of 50 pounds by Christmas. That's 12 pounds which is okay by me since I am such a slow loser now.

Welcome to the challenge everyone. We are going to have to encourage and motivate each other to accomplish theses goal, but we can do it. I plan to stop snacking and start exersicing on my wii fit at least 30 minutes a day. Lets all keep in touch and I can't wait to see status updates. Good Luck Everyone!!!

I’m definitely in! I want to be in Onederland by my birthday which is January 27th. I’ve been losing about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds a week, so I think 15 pounds will push me and keep me on track to reach my birthday goal.

This is perfect, I've been wanting to have a goal for the holiday's.

First holiday season with the band :smile2:

Current Weight: 178 Goal Weight: 158
