SSS Challenge - Starts Today!!!

I don't mean to be the naysayer of the group, but isn't 15lbs in 6 weeks a tad excessive? If MFP has some of us set up to lose 2lbs per week, that's a total of 12lbs or 6 to 9lbs for those that are on a 1lb or 1.5lb loss per week. Don't get me wrong, I'm up for the challenge and it seems to be just what I need to get motivated, but I'm just wondering if we're setting ourselves up to fail! Oops, I said the F-word :laugh: Sorry, just trying to be a little realistic.

I am so ready for this!!!!! This will get me halfway to my fisrt goal of 30lbs!

I don't mean to be the naysayer of the group, but isn't 15lbs in 6 weeks a tad excessive? If MFP has some of us set up to lose 2lbs per week, that's a total of 12lbs or 6 to 9lbs for those that are on a 1lb or 1.5lb loss per week.

I don't think there's really any chance that i'll lose 15 unless I took unhealthy measures. (Especially since i'm down to my last 15 pounds anyways, the last pounds seem to be the hardest to lose.) However, i'll just be happy to shake things up a bit and break this hovering around 156-158 for the last two months cycle. I do think for people with more to lose, 15 pounds is doable in 6 weeks.
