15 pounds by Christmas weekly weigh-in

Hey Gang! Things were much better this week down four pounds to 178! Total lost--7 pounds--eight to go! Almost halfway there! Smiles, Mel 242/178/135

I lost 4 lbs this week too! Hooray!!! 256 was my Christmas goal and I'm now 260 -- 4 lbs. shy of goal!!! I think I want to move the target to 250!! I'm going home to Maryland for the holidays, it would be wonderful to show up 76 lbs lighter than when my folks last saw me! Yesterday was my 5 month anniversary. The weight up until now has been really, really slow (only 66 lbs in 5 months). Somehow this challenge has helped -- 11 lbs lost since start of Christmas challenge! Thanks for putting the challenge out there!! Denise 326/260/140 Original Christmas Goals: 256 New Christmas Goal: 250 -66

I don't really keep track of my weight week by week, but I can tell you that on Friday, I was down to 283, which is just 5lbs away from my 15lb goal of 278. Ever since Thanksgiving, the weight has been peeling off. If I make it to my goal, I'll set a new one. Pamela -69

I lost 5 lbs. this week. That's a total of 8 lbs. since we started the challenge. I still have 7 lbs. to go..... Start of challenge: 206 Today: 198 Hugs, Nancy -79

I have lost 8lbs since we started. 7 more to go!!!! Starting weight: 230 Weight now: 222 Goal Weight: 215 Tara

I'm pretty sure I'm out of the running on this one. I've lost 2 lbs since we started and have been stuck bouncing around 192 and 193 for 4 weeks now. I seriously doubt I will lose 13 more in 18 days. Good luck everyone! Deejay 257/192/150 -65

Don't give up DeeJay! I had the same thing happen to me - I only lost 7 lbs. in four weeks about a month ago. Then all of a sudden, I started dropping 4 or 5 lbs. a week!! Even if you change your goal to 10 lbs. by Christmas, at least you're still in the Challenge!! Hugs, Nancy -79

I'm with Deejay... I lost NOTHING at all this week :/ Bouncing around 175-176. Still have 10 to lose to make the goal. I dunno if that's gonna happen! -Angela C. 229/175/135
