I know that there's some challenges out there for July 4th, and Halloween. I looked back on some threads and couldn't find a Christmas one. I really want a challenge to be down to 200 and that's a good amount of time for me (personal metabolically speaking ).
I know short goals are good but I'd really like a mediumish-long one to look forward to. I want a great Christmas outfit this year to fit into, one in a size I have not worn in years (almost a decade!!!! ). Christmas is one of my favorite holidays and one of my worst food-wise. Talk about needing support!!!
Does anyone else go along with the idea!!! Weigh in could be weekly in this forum (or whatever fits your normal schedule).

Down to 200 by

Hello Charlie Girl,
Good Idea!! I would love to join this challenge. I have joined other challenges, but they are really short goals. A long time goal is probably just what I might need. I just want to stay motivated, so that I can reach my goal of 140. But, for Christmas, I would just be Happy to make my goal 150. This Christmas Challenge will really be a test for my WOE. It is during the Holiday Seasons, when I will definately need all the support I can get. Okay...count me in!!
I like your little graphic, so much I wanted to use it too!!
Good Luck to all of us that join!!

I would love to be part of a Christmas goal as well!!

I am a slow loser so those shorter challenges don't really work for me and I need to look at the bigger picture so this is perfect!

By Christmas I would like to be within 10lbs of my goal.

Charleez - I bet you can make it below 200 by Christmas!!! Onederland would be a great present to yourself!!!

DebRN - Best wishes on making it to close to your goal by then!!! I'm sure you can make it!

Count me in!!! I'm just finally getting back on track after two years. I originally started the low-carb thing back in October 2001 and by April 2002, I had lost 60 pounds...20 away from my goal weight. I fell off the wagon and started gaining my weight back...now, two years later, I've put all 60 pounds plus back on and just don't want to look like this anymore. I'm ready to go again.

This is week 2 for me and I'm ready to go. This goal is great...hopefully will keep me on track.

My goal is 198 by Christmas...165 by the end of May 2005!

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE AND LET'S KEEP EACH OTHER ON TRACK!

Hi guys, this definately is a challenge for me. The short term ones don't always work, and I don't want to set myself up for disapointment if I don't make my goal by September... So....

By Christmas 2004, I would like to be to my goal weight (give or take 5 pounds from Thanksgiving). 120 would be great! I know I can do it too.

Count me in. I'll do an official weigh in tomarrow.

Great idea Charlie Girl! Hi new fellow challengers!

I'd love to join in too! I'm hoping to be within 15 lbs. of my goal weight by Xmas. Having extra support will be much appreciated, and help with motivation.

Friday's my weigh-in so I'll report back then.

Good luck everyone!
