Yay karrinnae!! I don't think anyone's set up a Christmas challenge... It might be moved to a more challengey style thread but hopefully won't be deleted! I don't understand/ question the powers of the awesome moderators

I'm so nervous about setting a goal too but from my stats I've already set one so I'm going to stick with it as it's set in stone gahhhh....

1. Karrinnae - 56lbs
2. Shazzy_shaz 60lbs

Fab Shazzy ! Lets really support everyone in this thread to succeed Im scared too when i see what target I have put eeek lol

 

[shazzy_shaz]

Its so daunting setting a target! Gah what if we don't meet it, gah no cant think like that lol stay positive! The only time i can remember dropping a sizeable amount if weight was when I was 15 and weighed 21 stone then during my 6 weeks holiday + did a stupid crazy excercise program everyday with tomotes on toast with black coffee and got down to 13 stone, whacked 3 stone on and off every couple of months and now the 'normal' way of eating won't shift anything, I've tried several times doing healthy eating with 3 hrs of exercise 5 times a week for months at a time and barely lost anything... Now with Cambridge in just two months I've lost 3 stone! So fingers crossed!

We'll all do fab it's going to be amazing! Best/ thin Christmas for all !!! Xx

Added you rozziebabe now you just put in brackets what you have lost each time you weigh in next to your name for example

Rozziebabe85 - 52lbs ( 10 Lost)

 

[Book-Worm]

28lbs may not seem like much at the moment but given my slow losses these past few weeks, I prefer playing it safe now rather than feel all deflated because I missed my target I may increase it if I get out of my plateau And why 28lbs? Because it'll get me right under 200lbs

On SS, it is perfectly possible CambridgeCurtis!!! I thought I was ambitious by wanting to lose 33lbs by the end of August (I am on Step 2 so it takes slightly longer). Well I finished mid-July

You know what, I have always wanted to buy a lovely black dress for Christmas (for parties and stuff, not for family Christmas lunch obviously!). What if I told myself I could fit in a size 16 dress? I wonder if I could... How many inches does one need to lose before dropping down a size? It is hard to gauge when fat because most of my clothes are tailored like tents.

 

[Karrinnae]

im the same always wanted a lil black dress for Christmas but never quite managed to be able to do it.

I'm not sure to be honest! I've dropped 3 stone and still waiting to drop my first dress size! But some people on here seem to lose a stone and go down a size! I think it might depend on other things like height/ build! The only thing ive noticed is that the fat isn't spilling out of my jeans as much :/

 

[Karrinnae]

You have dropped 3 stones and not gone down a size....sheesh!! Its gonna take me longer than i thought
