Count me in! I don't think I'll be at goal by Christmas as my weight loss is slowing down a bit as I get closer to goal, but I'm 150.5 right now and my overall goal is 125. So, I will set my Christmas goal at 130. That averages out to be 6.5 lbs/month.

Come on everyone! Get on board!

My dream would be to reach 225 by Christmas. I don't know if I should set all of my hopes on it, but that would be an additional 50 lbs., averaging 4.17 per week. Can I make it people? :idontknow:

I've been on the complete fast since starting September 9th.

I wanna play.....I wanna play....

Ok...well I already had a goal for the end of the year, but Christmas is good too. I'll go with 25 pounds by Christmas...which would put me at 225!!

Good Luck everyone...I know we can do it!

I love this! We ought to name this personal challenge...

Let's think up a title that we can reference!

I would like to be at my goal by that time...20 pounds divided by 12 =
1.66 pounds per week...definitely doable, even with plateaus and sloooow weeks! That will get me a little below goal - I KNOW I can do this.

Thanks, Tami...now for the name...hmmmm...

Christmas Cuties????

Give me your ideas.

I'm playing too! First I want to mention that if any of you have not had a peek at Tami, I encourage you to search the "Studio" for her pix. I kid you not - this girl is drop dead gorgeous!! Ok, that said... I am 242 this morning and I am really gonna set the bar high for my Christmas present to myself - 42 pounds in the next 12 weeks :shock:

. Doable? Probably not

. Am I gonna try? You betcha! My weight loss has been averaging 3.3 a week; 42 pounds would require a 3.5/week average. But I have begun to exercise over the last 4 weeks, and can now ace 3 miles on the treadmill in about 50 minutes without killing myself. And I have several medical appointments coming up that I am really looking forward to - I'm highly motivated to shock the docs I see just once a year. (Although my medifast total is 86 pounds, I am actually at 98 pounds down from my high of 340 - this should be my 100-pound week if the blasted plateaus stay away

)!

Thanks for coming up with another fun way to monitor our weight loss, Tami. I'm so sorry you gained back the weight, but so happy you found your way back to the forum and Medifast. Cheering you on for a speedy and complete, lasting victory this time

.

Hey, Donna~

You mean like the calendar girls??? with only a red ribbon placed in a strategic position???? :lol:

Unca might have a problem with that one :oops:

or maybe not

I am new to the board but I want to play too. Start me at 266 and I will set my goal at 25lbs.

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love to take part in this challenge. I feel that 2.5 pounds per week will be a tough but realistic challenge for me as my weightloss is always on the slower side. That means my start weight for the challenge will be 216 and my Christmas goal weight will be 186.

Holy moly, I just got goosebumps thinking that one day soon I will FINALLY weigh below 200 pounds!
