    Just installed this coolest app ever, it's under armour app that records down your steps, recommended by myfitnesspal.

    The support there is fabulous and you don't have to be friends. I felt like *kitten* today but two comments in, and I'm revving to go again!

    Highly recommended!

    My name there is maamee Sherie

    I saw many posters in the low 100's range jumping on the 10 lbs down by Aug. 31st bandwagon and if you are 140 dropping to 130 isn't the same as someone that is 226 dropping to 216.

    There are precisely 13 posters with weight below 140, However there are those who have written explanations of having less than 5kg/11lbs to lose and stated their lower number of lbs to lose.
    Of the 13 posters with weight below 140lb, only 4 have are still active one week later. I have lost the most at 1.6kg. My weight loss is not linear and I don't expect to lose this every week. In fact I dont expect to lose 5kg, I should have stated that. I have been logging in for 50 days and my total loss so far is 7lbs which is roughly a pound a week, however I never lost a pound a week. I lost nothing in the first few weeks, then 2lbs, gained 2lbs again and then lost 3.5lbs etc etc.

    You are right to be concerned, but you do seem to underestimate this groups posters, I am pretty sure if there were posters who were losing weight rapidly there would be others in the group who would point this out, because after all we are here to support each other.

    That certainly addresses concerns. My intent wasn't to be a nanny, I was just replying.

    Please everyone ... This post is to provide support to people who have a target and want to reach their goal.

    If you want to have a discussion about how much other people should or should not lose then please start your own discussion (please note @dykask )

    I have checked and this is within the guideline from MFP for challenges.

    For the last time... This discussion is for people who want to do the challenge, not for other people who want to comment on whether they are doing the right thing.

    Hey folks:

    This discussion has been moved from Motivation and Support to the Challenges section at OP's request. The mandates for the Challenges section are located here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10298436/welcome-to-the-myfitnesspal-challenges-category-please-read#latest
    But in a nutshell, challenges must abide by community guidelines, and posting in a discussion in the challenges section means you're interested in participating. Posts attempting to debate the merits of the challenge may be warned if they come to moderator attention (i.e. are reported).

    I hope you're having a nice weekend.
