Pet Talk Monthly Weight Loss *CHALLENGE*

[RobiLee]

Hmmm, I might give this a try. I am far too embarrassed to say how much I weigh though. Trust me I out weigh anyone I know or see in public and it can be humilating. I was also wondering if 10 pounds a month is a bit much to expect.

I'd like to...but I not be in it this month. I don't want to tell my weight either...I wouldn't consider myself "fat" but I could stand to lose 10-20 pounds.

I'd like to join too. I just started on my diet again last week. I'm not too keen on revealing actual weight numbers either. How bout I just give you my goal pound lossage(is that a word? ). I'd like to lose 50 lbs. (I could lose more, but I'd be thrilled and would be fairly healthy with the 50).

I agree. A healthy weight loss is considered 1-2 lbs a week. A lot of times people will have a big loss the first week that they start a diet and that is normal, but then it should slow down. Remember that the faster you lose your weight the faster it can come back! It's much healthier for you to lose weight at a slower pace.

Good luck, everyone!

I'm already dieting, and my weight loss has probably averaged what Laura said, around 1.5-2.0 pounds per week. Sometime more, sometimes less. We're in our 14th week, I think, and I have lost 25 pounds. I have 22 more to go.

I won't participate, but I'll be here looking for inspiration, also to cheer you on, if that's ok!

I'm in.

For a petite girl my height (5'1), "they say" I should weigh between 105 and 115. I fluctuate between 125 and 128 pounds, even though no one thinks I need to lose any weight at all, and, don't believe me when I tell them I weigh even that much. And, honestly, I'd be more interested in losing a few inches around the middle, not so much weight. I'd like to gain some muscle, so, I may not even see the numbers on the scale come down. But, I've been trying to eat better and exercise, so, this could be that little push that I need. Kinda like the book club has pushed me to read again. Anyway...I'd like to do this.
