Pet Talk Monthly Weight Loss *CHALLENGE*

[carole]

This is indeed a great idea, to support one another like this Megan , some of you will already know I am doing my own WWatchers at home and have had some weight loss, however I do want to point out that Ten to 15 pounds is setting yourself up for a fall, one has to take in mind the level of activity and the age of the person, that would not even be achieveable for someone my age group etc, and really is not what I consider a healthy weight loss, you should be looking at 500 grms to a 1kg weight loss a week,(one to two pounds per week) that is safe and really achievable for most people, if you set your goals too high, you are just going to come crashing down.,to encourage people to loose that amount i feel would not be in their best interest or safe or long term.,having said that, good luck to everyone.

Alright, general consensus is about 2 pounds a week? Should we just make it an even number and have weekly goals be about 2 pounds a week?

Thanks for the input guys!

I did a health project and you should have 1200-1400 calorie a day if you want to lose 2 lbs, no less then 1200 no healthy at all.

Hmm, sounds like good motivation. I lost a bit of weight before my surgery this summer, but it's creeping back on, and especially with winter coming, I know I won't get as much exercise & I love hearty winter foods....and holiday goodies ! OK, Ill try it. When are you gonna start? I'm leaving for a week on Nov. 7, and don't think I'll have access to a computer, but I'll log back on when I get home. BTW, couldn't we each set a goal, either 1 or two pounds, because depending on our ages & condition, what's healthy may vary. I like the idea of stating our weight loss goal if we don't want to reveal our weight.

Oh good! after Thanksgiving! As turkey dinner with all the fixings is my favorite meal, I couldn't pass that up - ok, no second helpings!
