    Im sorry, I have to leave this challenge. If I try to make my goal weight now by September 1st, I think it would be unhealthy for me. I'm not giving up on my goal... Just not the 55lbs by Sept. 1st.

    Good luck to the rest of you.

    @3nails1love I'm sorry to see you go :( I don't think I'm going to make the 55lbs by Sept. 1st either, but I've found this group to be a good support system. I hope no one feels as though they HAVE to lose 55lbs by Sept. 1st to be a part of our group, it's a goal but it's not necessarily required, we have some people in this group that have adjusted to just lose 20-30lbs by Sept 1st. Would love for you to stay, adjust your goals to what you feel is attainable, and we'll be right here with you on your journey! <3

    @3nails1love, that is unfortunate. To be honest with you, I know I won't make to goal but just knowing that I have the support of everyone here helps me to keep my focus even if I only lose 5 lbs from now to September 1st I would be happy with that. I don't think anyone is focusing on the 50 lbs but just on the supoort of each other.

    I'm sorry to see you leave :( But I hope you reconsider - I didn't honestly think I was going to be able to make it, either - Originally, at my rate, I was on schedule to hit *55* by October 1st - but I figured *maybe* I can do this. Now, it looks like I might make it by the first week of September - and maybe the 1st. Some weeks it feels like I can't lose - then the next week I'm doing much better than expected (yaay). I figure if the trend continues, I can make it to September 1st. But if I don't, it's still okay -- I'm gunning for it, but it's way more important to lose weight at a normal rate than to try to force it. Forcing it is exactly how it ends up coming back.

    No problem! I was actually pretty scared to start this group - I'd never done one before. But it's really helped to keep me accountable! Having everyone supporting/encouraging each other has been amazing <3
