Lose 20 in 6 weeks

kravmark2

Hello all! I have been very inactive on this forum for a long time. Almost 2 years ago i lost over 20lbs using the support from the people on here. Yesterday was my first day back and Im looking for new friends and hard chargers. I am also going to a very physically intensive training in 6 weeks and I need to stop dropping weight fast... like 3lbs a week. So I thought Id start a challenge. The training I'll be attending is an instructor program for shooting and will have a lot of running and physical activity.. I used to be able to run a 1/2 marathon but at the moment i am out of breath by just short jogs... Join me and we can support each other.. looking to lose an average of 3lbs a week from FEB15 till APR1 and then another 20 in the next few months after that.

How do you propose to do this? (I can lose close to that, but I'm a bariatric patient and only eat 800 cals per day).

Weekly weigh ins and friend each other also keeping an open diary sounds like a great idea to me. Checking in here often maybe posting a daily challenge or weekly challenge to keep mptivated, along with the weekly progress updates

a) Posts intended to promote potentially unsafe or controversial weight loss products or procedures, including non-medically prescribed supplements or MLM products will be removed without warning.
b) Profiles, groups, messages, posts, or wall comments that encourage anorexia, bulimia, or very low calorie diets of any kind will be removed, and may be grounds for account deletion. This includes positive references to ana/mia, purging, or self-starving. Our goal is to provide users with the tools to achieve their weight management goals at a steady, sustainable rate. Use of the site to promote, glamorize, or achieve dangerously low levels of eating is not permitted.

The Challenges section also has this additional guideline, which this topic violates.
