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.

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!!! |

| Re: Christmas Weightloss Challenge | | 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.
