Christmas/End of the year Goals

Does anyone besides me have some goals for Christmas or by the end of the year? I know I want to lost 25 pounds to put me under 200lbs. I also want to reestablish my exercise routine I had to give up for gallbladder surgery recovery. Hopefully the two goals will help each other out!!!! What are your goals? Maybe we could have a challange of some sort. Rachael

I want to be at 228 by November 30th. I would LOVE to be 218 by Christmas which will put me at 110 in 6 months and 114 total. Good luck to us! Mandy 332/240/155?

I just put 199 in fitday for Dec 31, 2006 and I need to lose 5 pounds a week to make that. I've been averaging about 3 -5 pounds for the last 6 weeks or so. My protein and water have been slack along with my exercise. The earlier goal was one so that I wouldn't FAIL lol. I'm gonna work my butt off to get in my 70 grams of protein, 64 oz of water and hit the gym a minimum of 3 times per week. That's my challenge for myself Rachael. Thanks!!!!!! Mandy

I REAALLLLLY wanted to be under 200 by Dec 31st but it's looking a little ambitious to me now. I have 33 lbs to go to get there. I'll be happy with anything I can get between now and then. I've had a few bumpy weeks so maybe I will be pleasantly suprised but a few really good weeks and it will make that goal a little more realistic! Onederland would be the greatest Christms gift of ALL TIME!

Yes....it can be our WINTER ONEDERLAND CHALLENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know it is a bit ambitious for me as well...but I know if I make a committment to exercise it will happen. That always seems to make the difference for me. We can do it ladies!!!!! Rachael

My goal, for months now, has been to be under 200 by New Year's day. I have to lose 15 pounds to get to 199. I also wouldn't mind if I got to my goal weight of 190 lbs.

This is something Ive been thinking of alot lately. I got on the scale and finally lost weight for the 1st time in nearly 2 weeks. I never seem to lose consistenly. By this I mean, I will stay at the same weight for a week and then all of the sudden I weigh 3-5 lbs less. Anyway........my goal is to continue to lose 13 lbs in Nov and 13 in Dec. That will put me at 207 - which is a reasonable goal. I would LLLOOOOOVVVVVEEE to be under 200 of course,and in my heart of hearts thats what I want but I also dont want to set myself up to be dissapointed in myself. So there we go, 26 lbs by years end!!! Kathryn

Please can I join in the Christmas Winter Onederland club? I'm at 212 at the moment, so for most people it wouldn't be a problem, but as I'm loosing 3 lbs then nothing for 2 weeks, I'm averaging at 1lb a week. That's what I'd like for Christmas anyway. Whether I get there remains to be seen. Not sure what I can do to speed things up a bit, but we'll see..........

Boy, I would really like to start out the new year weighing less than 200 pounds. I don't think I've weighed less than 200 pounds since I was in high school and that was a REALLY long time ago (I'm 53). At the rate I'm going - - no loss over the past 2 weeks and probably only about 10 over the past 2 months) - - I'm not sure I'll get there. I keep reading how so many of you who had surgery about the same time I did have lost so much more than I have and I get kinda depressed, but then I remember that it's been years since I weighed this "little" and I'm thankful.

Things are going a lot slower for me now. I would like to lose 8 pounds by Christmas & tone up more , especially my upper body. Darlene
