Who wants to lose 10 lbs by Christmas?

Hey guys, are any of you interested in losing 10 lbs by Christmas w/ me? I'm thinking weigh in day will be Friday, and losing 10 lbs by Dec. 25 is pretty reasonable, about a pound a week. If you're interested post your stats. Anyone is welcome. =D

Hi all!

 

The site wouldn't let me log in yesterday.  Here are my stats for weigh in #4:

Start weight:  152

Last week:  146.5

This week:  146

Christmas Goal:  142

 

The weight loss is slowing down!  Only down a half a pound this week.  I can't wait to fit into my old sizes.  

 Be strong on Thanksgiving!!!  

SW: 141.2

W1: 139.5

W2:140.1

W3: 138.3

WEIGH-IN 4: 136.2!! How awesome is that!

I actually gained due to nearly a week of binge eating (close to or above 3,000 calories every day). But I need to be honest about it and be accountable so here goes:

Weigh in #4:

Ht: 5'7"
Age: 34
Xmas Goal: 155 lbs. / Long-term Goal: 140 lbs.

Start Weight: 166.2  
Weigh in #1: 165.6
Weigh in #2: 163.0  
Weigh in #3: 161.2 
Weigh in #4: 164

Still have 9 lbs to go for xmas. But I still have 5 weeks so that is doable if I get back on track.

HEY! GOOD JOB EVERYONE!. I'm maintaining... not so sure if I want to lose anymore. =\. lol. keep posting! See you guys next week. ;-)

Starting weight on October 26: 248.6 

November 16: 240.0

November 23: 235.4

Goal by Christmas: 235.0

Looks like I have 0.4 pounds to go. Really I'm hoping to lose a bit more than that by Christmas.

Weigh in #5:

Starting: 245

Current: 236.5

Goal for Christmas: 235

Same as last week. :-( At least I didn't gain from Thanksgiving cookies, though. Just 1.5 pounds to go.

Edit: Weigh-in #5, not 4. Time flies. 

Weigh in #5:
Age: 56
Height: 5'1"
GW: 135 (for Christmas)
Weigh in #1: 145
Weigh in #2: 142 - current wk 3 lbs.
Weigh in #3: 141.5 - current wk .5 lbs. total loss 3.5 lbs.
Weigh in #4: 140 - current wk 1.5 lbs. total loss 5 lbs.
Weigh in #5: 138 - current wk 2 lbs., total loss 7 lbs.
Not bad for the day after Thanksgiving.  I think I'm going to make this challenge!

Weigh in #5:

Ht: 5'7"
Age: 34
Xmas Goal: 155 lbs. / Long-term Goal: 140 lbs.

Start Weight: 166.2  
Weigh in #1: 165.6
Weigh in #2: 163.0  
Weigh in #3: 161.2 
Weigh in #4: 164
Weigh in #5: 163 - I will have to weigh myself again tomorrow at my own home (my usual scale) to see how accurate this is. Also I weighed myself after eating bfast which I never do at home... hopefully it will be lower tomorrow!! EEK!!

Still have 8 lbs to go for xmas, but happy with this after Thanksgiving.

Weigh in #4 for me:

 

height 5'8"

age:36

weight as of today 131...up .8  from yesterday...sheesh. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Xmas Goal weight 125 - I really don't think I am going to make it there by Christmas, with the rate of loss really slowing down. I think I may be happy with 128 which I think is more realistic.

See you next Friday!

 

so my weight loss has pretty much stopped. but at least i'm not gaining i guess. I'm still 196.6, and i believe my starting weight was 197. i'm working hard to get the numbers to start dropping again but it's not happening yet. maybe next week i'll have a really good number to show!

starting 194

this week 192

I am all over the place...I was 189 on Wed. and this happened a few weeks ago too.  Today 192.  My moon started early this month.  Last time it started the day before I dropped to 189 also.  I am wondering if I will reach my goal of 183?  Keep pluggin' away a pound at a time!

Good luck everyone and hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving.

Welllllll the good news is that I think I was lower than 163 lbs today. I got home and weighed myself on my usual scale. I know it's OK to fluctuate some but I feel it's more accurate if I use my same scale and same time of day. So I think I was probably closer to 162 or so this morning based on my own scale.... hopefully the results will show on next Friday's weigh-in!!!

Mostly I am just thrilled that so far no extra Thanksgiving weight is showing up. I guess it paid off to do my 5K turkey trot yesterday. WOO HOO!!!!!

I was very busy this weekend, so this is the first time I have gotten a chance to log in this weeks weight. 

I started at 146 (The Friday after Halloween, November 2... I think)

I am now 141, so I am half way there and today is the half way mark for Christmas so I am on target of making goal!  For the first time in the history of my life, I actually went down one pound from Thanksgiving morning and the Friday after Thanksgiving... miracles do happen!  Now if I can making through my birthday *(tomorrow) without gaining weight, life will be good (until Christmas anyway :)

ok, so I'm starting a little late, but I will join anyways!

CW:125

GW1:120

GW2:115

I think I will be happy as long as I reach my second goal weight by Christmas. 

Okay so somewhere along the way I have lost track of dates because I posted on the 16th and logged it as the 9th?

Whatever - here we are today and I totally fell off the wagon for almost a week! Ooops - made for a fun Thanksgiving though! I didn't count or anything. I don't really even fell bad - well a little but not that much   - sorry I am late logging in but as of this morning:

Start - 145

10-23-07 - 143

10-29-07 - 145.5 EKKK! TOM

11-5-07 - 142

11-16-07? - 140.5

 11-27-07 - 141 TOM YUCK!!!!

Guess I didn't do too bad considering Aunt Flo is here visiting -

The only good thing I did was exercise. Down from 6 days a week to 4 but at least I tried!! It was a busy weekend!!

Hope everyone is doing good! 

I am thinking I am not going to make the 10 lbs by Christmas, but I am not giving up!!!
