Christmas Day is six months today and I was wondering if anyone else might be motivated by working towards a nice Christmas present to ourselves by being lighter on the day then we are now.

I have lost 4 stone in 3 years and I really need a good kick in the bum and with just over half a stone a month I would like to lose the next 4 stone by Christmas, I know it can be done! There are 26 weeks and 1 day between now and then so that is just over 2lbs a week, easy... right...? Who's with me?

Morgenmuffel - Target = 4 Stones

I need to
Lose 23 pound to get to target and I NEED to do it by the 15th December as I am a bridesmaid and have a size 10 dress to fit into! I switched a month ago from Sw to
Cc and I love it. I lost 6 pound in 4 weeks and I'd gone over cals on a weekend. This weekend I have gone off plan and I need to refocus desperately!!!

With you!!

Was aiming for 4 stone by my birthday (middle of November), but this makes more sense. Count me in!

Oh fantastic, quite a few of us already, let's make this happen! And yes I am always surprised by how fast Christmas comes around, eek... I did both SW and WW but I find counting raw calories much better because let#s face it there really isn't such a thing as "free food" is there?

No your right on the free food thing. I would literally gorge myself on mullet lights and bananas then couldn't understand why I didn't lose for weeks. Im desperate for some choccies tonight but I e had all my cals. I never crave chocolate either :/

my new scales came today and i weighed in on boots scales to compare as im switching to my own scales so i have no excuses not to weigh in and the boots ones show a sts and the weight watchers ones show me at quarter of a pound less, but seeing as boots scales dont operate by half pounds, they are probably the same. so my new start weight is 11.1 and 3/4 i am going to lose 2 pound this week (positive mental attitude) to take me under 11 stone determined.com
