90 Pounds, for Good!

JuniorLighter

I'm new to the forum, but been losing since January. Part of a UPenn weight loss and behavioral study. I'm down 27.6 lbs on the way to drop 90. I'm married and my wife will be checking my conversations, but I would still like to buddy up with other "losers". I'm hoping to get a Fitbit Misfit this weekend.

I've joined my first challenge group starting in 2.days - Fat2Fit. I hear good things about these challenge groups. I'll see. I'm down 52 pounds since January, but starting to slow my loss. I'm down to 2 pounds/week. I'm hoping this challenge will help me get back to 4-5 pounds/week. The Fitbit is helping, though.

congrats on what you have already lost. on another note 4-5 lbs a week is not healthy and not usually sustainable. 2lbs a week is fine for those with more than 75lbs to lose. since you only have 38lbs to lose(90-52) you should only be losing about 1lb a week. faster weight loss is not better as you will lose some muscle/lean mass as well. slower weight loss is better in the long run.
