    Going strong still - I don't know how to set up a group but if anyone wants to and let us know where to join?

    There was a previous quote which was correct that at 2lb a week we are losing some muscle content so we need to keep workouts in there which, happily enough, gives me the extra calories I need when I get get close / go past my daily allowance which is pretty much every day.

    Keep posting guys & girls,

    Cheers,

    Andy

    *facepalm*

    losing 30 pounds in 100 days isn't healthy, and it's also the kind of goal that's so difficult that it makes people quit. losing that much so fast will burn muscle, so when you're done your body will use less calories than it did before, making it easier you to gain the weight right back more easily.

    I don't plan on losing the 30 pounds in only 100 days, I plan on being down a total of 30 pounds by the end of another 100 days.....I have already lost 17 in the last 45-50 days, so this is just an added motivator for me. I know that with the stress of my son going away to USAF, I will need extra support to avoid emotional eating.
