    I don't have 80lbs to lose anymore but I do have 57lbs to lose before I get to my goal weight so if I lose 1lb a week for the 40 weeks then I will be 17lbs away from my goal weight by the end of the challenge but even if I finish before the challenge ends then I will still support.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but here's a reality check (of sorts)

    Pound per week goals
    75+ lbs set to lose 2 lb range
    Between 40 - 75 lbs set to lose 1.5 lb range
    Between 25-40 lbs set to lose 1 lb range
    Between 15-25 lbs set to lose 1 -.50 lb range
    Less than 15 lbs set to lose 0.5 lbs range

    My point is - ANY amount of weight you lose in 40 weeks is success! Don't beat yourself up if (when) you are not at goal weight by then. The last 15 pounds is so slooooow. But slow is a good thing. Aggressive calorie deficits don't support existing lean muscle mass efficiently. You want fat loss ......not just weight loss.

    I agree the point is to have a set goal. I do better when I have a set goal each week And support. I'll celebrate everyone's success no matter how small

    I have 55lbs left before I get to my goal weight now because I have lost 2lbs this week.
