    Be sure you understand what this means from a numbers perspective. You need to average a 1300 calorie deficit EVERY DAY until September 1st. Pretty steep.

    I am in, but I realize 50lbs is way too much for me by Sept 1. I have lost 17lbs in 14 weeks, so given that, I estimate being down 28lbs by Sept 1. I hope for more, but that's what I expect. Feel free to send me a Friend request!

    I don't know where to find the invite, but I went to the challenge link and joined. I also want to say I don't add friends (just a personal preference). I will, however, share and support on my weekly log-ins. Best of luck, everybody!

    I'm in. I need the extra motivation to keep me honest (with myself) and get me to jump start my weight loss program.

    I haven't figured out how to invite members while on my phone yet so I may have to do it tomorrow, sorry.. In the meantime though, if you go to Groups you can search for the group and select to join, it's called "Lose 55lbs by Sept 1st"

    Again, for anyone else concerned about the amount of weigh to lose, 55lbs is a lot, I know that's a steep goal.. Feel free to adjust the goal to whatever you feel is more doable, you know your body best! Even if all you lose is 5lbs, you're headed in the right direction! The biggest goal for me is to eat better and exercise more.

    I think having a group to be held accountable for is really going to push me and I'm so excited to start

    Hi Britnaii22,

    I just want to mention your math is ambitious and has you losing 65 lbs instead of 55. 55 lbs is hard enough! :)

    I would love to join this group. It helps to be active on the thread too. I am going to do 5lbs. a month. I know my body and how hard it is to lose. I started the Whole30 program so I am not able to weigh until April 14th.

    Hi Sarah,

    I suppose if you are including my starting weight from February that would be right, but from 226 (my current weight right now) to 170 is 55lbs or 56lbs if you include that extra one ;)

    Could you try re-sending me a invite. Somehow I never got one and it won't show me a join button on the group page.
  • Brittles927

    I tried re-sending the invite but it said you were already an applicant? Not sure what that means.. not a lot of people have become members yet (hope that hasn't been an issue for everyone else too :( ) so I went ahead and made the group public, so you can try to join again if you'd like! :)

    I would love to join in! Just joined the group! I agree with the others it might be easier to keep track and stay more organized in a group and have different threads for weigh in each week, support, challenges, ect...
