!College people looking to lose 20lbs for Christmas vacation!

Hey everyone! I'm Jackie and I'm in my first year as an art student. My goal right now is to lose 24 more pounds by December 23rd (family Christmas party)! That will put me at 199 pounds. I come from a huge family and I really want them all to see me in a new light. Plus, I want to look nice in our yearly picture for once!

Now who's with me? I want to do this with girls my age who are going through similar stresses at college.. So let's get this party started with our stats! I weigh in every Sunday so that's when I'll be updating Everyone is free to update whenever they want!

Hey!  This sounds great!  I don't know if I'll be able to lose that much, but I'll give it a shot!

Age, height, pants size: 18 years old, 5'3.75", size 6

Starting Weight: 145

Current Weight: 146 (boooooo, I gained)

Christmas goal: 130-135 (maybe?)

Welcome medicinalmary and kizzichan! What day of the week do you girls weigh in?

Probably Monday because that is when my other groups do, but Sunday is fine too.  :)  Let's knock the pants off our families this Christmas, haha!

This is totally something I've been looking for. =)

I'm a junior in college and I've gained like the freshman 15, the sophomore 15... and I've started on the junior 15... and that's not something I can bear to do! I must lose it!!!

 

Age, Height, Pants size: 20 yrs, 5'3", size 12

Starting Weight: 173.5

Current Weight: 173.5

Christmas Goal: 150

(I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...!)

I'm in!

I'm a junior in college and I'm currently studying abroad in Australia for the semester.  Not exactly ideal for weight loss, but I'm working on it!

Age, Height, Pants size: 20 yrs, 5'4", size 10

Starting Weight: 172

Current Weight: 156.5

Christmas Goal: 140

And I'm not really picky with the weigh-in date.  My other group is on Wednesdays, so I might just do it then unless we come up with a specific one here.

Good luck everyone!  We can do this!

Count me in!  I don't own a scale (if I weigh obsessively, it de-motivates me), so I can only weigh myself every 2-3 weeks when I'm home helping with house renovation projects.

I gained a lot of weight when I developed carpal tunnel because I can't do much exercise because it's so painful... then I started Zoloft to manage my sleep (go figure!), and that has NOT helped!

I'm a junior, and I'm going to be in Mali in January, then in Paris for the full 09-10 year, so I want to be really FIT--and slim would be better, but I'd rather be in shape!

Age, Height, Pants size:  20 years, 5'5", size 6-8

Starting Weight: 150

Current Weight: 145

Christmas Goal: 125-130

HEY! i'm not in college yet, but I'm a senior in high school and I want to lose 20 or 25 lbs by christmas break too.  I feel so pressured by my family to be skinny like my cousins and stuff, I want to prove myself to them too, especially because I lost about 35 lbs from my heaviest weight last summer and then started bingeing and gained almost all of it back...so I feel a little like a failure :/ 

Then I started binging and purging right before this summer and I've just recently gone on prozac which supposedly helps out with eating disorders and obsessive thoughts.

So I'm just trying to turn stuff around now and IM SO IN!!

Age, Height, Pants Size: 18 yrs, 5'4", size 6

Starting Weight:135

Current Weight: 135 (I'm too afraid to weight myself so I really don't know)

Christmas Goal: 115

I'm in, eatting right and losing weight is hard in college. All my friends eat junk food and want to go out. And at parties there is nothing good for you, chips and beer. I'm in my third year of college, and since my first year I have gained 25lbs. Changing is hard!

Age, Height, Pant Size: 20, 5'4", size 7-9

Start Weight: 142 lbs.

Current Weight: 138.5 lbs.

Christmas Goal: 120 lbs.

I've lost 3.5lbs.

18.5lbs to go in about 14 weeks!!!

Yay I'm so glad to see so many people joining!

And Pink, yeah it's REALLY hard to eat well here. I rarely see a vegetable in the cafeteria.. whaaat? And all my friends are tiny and eat tons of junk all the time. How do they do it?!

You mind if a college boy who wants to lose weight for christmas vacation joins?

wow I definately need this!!! Im in my second year of university, and I currently live in a 'party' house. Where alcohol, parties, JUNK food are always in play.

Lets do this!

Aw of course I don't mind! You're more than welcome. I should change the title of the group!

 

So how is everyone doing? I've been feeling really hungry this week but I still stay on my right amount of calories.. I just wish I knew why my stomach was growling so much! Maybe I need a cheat day or something to satisfy it, haha.

This sounds like just what I need!  I'm in grad school, and I'm meeting my boyfreind's family and freinds from home for the first time at Christmas break. I'd like to be back to the lower weight I've maintained before (140) or below it by then.  Right now I'm:

Age, Height, Pants size: 26, 5'6'', 12

Starting Weight: 180ish

Current Weight: 155

Christmas Goal: 135-140

That's awesome ablacksh! My end goal for my weightloss is to be 140 by this upcoming July which is when I'm meeting my boyfriend's parents for the second time. The first time they met me, I was my highest weight. It will be crazy for them to see me that differently haha!

I'm 18 and just started college. I'm also looking to loose 20 lbs by Christmas...and another 20-25 lbs by the end of my second semester (May 2009).  Anyone interested in becoming my motivational buddy, send me a response or add me as a friend.

Hi, I'd really like to join. I read this forum rather frequently, but I believe I've only ever posted once. I am a college senior, and I went on a massive diet two years ago (lost 70 lbs). I've been at this weight for a while now, and I'd like to get these last few pounds off!

Edit: Gone down a pants size and didn't realize it until yesterday!
