    8 pounds in one month is too much unless you're obese, and you are clearly not obese.

    Sounds like we are all in about the same boat. I would like to lose 6, but 8 would definitely be ideal! :)

    ??

    4 weeks per month (average)
    x
    2 pounds per week (<=2 is healthy)
    =
    8 lbs lost in 1 month

    Not too much, IMO

    Good luck to everybody on their goals!

    I'd love to join again. I agree that 8 lbs in a month is a lot, but I like to aim high. Since I'm down 14.2 since 1/1, 8 isn't that much of a stretch. But anything over 5 this month would be awesome.

    3/1 178.8
    3/8
    3/15
    3/22
    3/29

    Which puts my goal for challenge at 170.8

    Good luck to everyone! We can do this!!!

    Although I have to admit I was very disappointed with my number today, I DID start the 30DS this week, so I'm going to attribute my lack of a big loss to my muscles holding onto water. I can barely walk I'm so sore! I guess I will see next Friday if that is the case or not!

    If I were at 165.2 this morning, I would've been right on track. I'm still very happy with my progress, though! I've lost 13 lbs since Jan 1!!!

  • Hello everyone:
    Okay I am in too. I need to drop a lot of weight due to my diabetes. I joined this site because I need all the support and encouragement I can get. Good luck to everyone that is taking the challenge. My birthday is March 29, it would be great present to myself to be down 8 pounds (or more).

    I was pretty sure this wasn't going to happen because up till yesterday i was almost 2weeks at the same weight and it wouldn't go any further past 138.6! Something happened and it dropped. Keep up all the good work ladies

    It's not too much to be considered unhealthy. It is a healthy goal to shoot for 1 - 2.5 or 3 lbs a week.

    That said, it may be hard. But doable. It's a good challenge, regardless of whether you lose 2 lbs or 8 lbs in that time, you still come out at a win, because anything lost is good.

    Good luck.
