    I've been away for awhile, I need to catch up.

    As someone who was obese and still very much overweight, I would like to say a 20 pound loss is fantastic.

    But, I would also like to caution those trying to lose weight, 20 pounds in one month is a lot of weight to lose. That amount of weight could be dangerous if you are not being monitered by a doctor. I would not encourage anyone to try to lose that much weight unless they are under doctors supervision.

    1 to 2 pounds a week is a healthy weight loss. This represents about a 28,000 calorie reduction, whereas 20 pounds is a 70,000 calorie reduction. A reduction of 2,300+ calories a day.

    I am new to the board but count me in. Tell what I need to do to prepare for the winner, just in case it is not me. LOL

    I am in. I can't seem to lose the weight on my own, so maybe having others to chat with will help. This is my first challenge I have joined, I am very excited!! ;-)

    To you newbies (and oldies)....
    BE PREPARED to see/get/hear/ a LOT of razzing from/among us oldies Remember our razzing is all in fun...
    IF you do have a serious problem please PM trupeach.... Please don't blast out at someone publicly ... it's not polite and feelings get hurt...
