Christmas goals

I have a goal to lose 7 pounds by Christmas. I figured I've got 4 weeks and that works out to just under 2 pounds per week... hopefully that's do-able. I'm going to stick to my diet exactly for these 4 weeks and exercise for an hour each day. I've been slack recently and I'm sick of all the slip ups! Does anyone else have a Christmas goal weight?

I don't really have a goal weight but I do plan on sticking to my plan, like I did on thanksgiving. I think for christmas for me it's staying away from candy. I'm not really worried about anything else. I've been losing weight real good and I don't plan on ruining it for a holiday. It's just one day out of the year. I wish you success.

I have been very realistic lately and I would be so happy with 5 pounds. I have been doing the work, but not dieting. Tomorrow I start the diet. 1200 calories a day.

I dont have a goal weight. I bought a new shirt though thats one size smaller then I wear now, so hopefully it will fit by Christmas. Im guessing it'll be around 12-15 pounds.

Hello, first I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season. I also wish you all well with your goals. I have a goal for myself too. Recently, I have found out that I may have diabetes, high cholesterol, hypothyroidism and kidney stones. I became depressed over all of this and ate to comfort myself. I want to get on track and take care of myself. My goal by Christmas is: exercise 5 times a week, and lose 7-10 pounds. I need to do this for my health.
Smiles to all,
TLE

I don't really have a Christmas goal, but I would like to loose 2 pounds a week. I am getting married in October of 2008 and would like to have lost 50 pounds by then. I am currently doing the Cabbage Soup Diet. I have been on the diet for four days and feel great. I am getting pretty tired of eating the soup everyday but I hope I can make it through the last three days. I do not weigh myself until a month after I have started dieting. But, altough I have only been on this diet for a few days, my clothes are starting to feel a little looser. Wish me luck everyone, as I wish you all luck in reaching your goals.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
