How does Chris Powell come up with wgt loss goals
Hi, Ofcourse, the right person to answer the question would be CP but I wanted to check with experts out here. How do you think a weight loss goal is calculated for the contestants, some lose 120lbs in 90 days, some 90 lbs in 90 days. Just curious.

Now I found a good deal online, so ordered…
