DAY YOU'D LIKE TO WEIGH IN Saturday
GW for Challenge: 282 10% OF YOUR CURRENT WEIGHT IS SUGGESTED) I AM DOING LESS BECAUSE I LOSE AT A SLOWER RATE
============================================= =====
IF you join in these months this is the suggested weight loss percentage
May Challengers 7% of SW unless it is midway then 5.5
June Challengers 5% or 4% of SW. This is to keep you motivated to stay with the challenge.
Experts say 10% of your body weight is reasonable to lose in a 3 month period. You must take into consideration if you had already lost a reasonable amount of weight that your may hit a plateau during this challenge. Don't get discouraged.

One thing I decided to do to the challenge is to adjust your formula to your actual highest weight. Afterall, you have lost more than your initial weigh in. I think this is fair and encouraging. I will ask you before I adjust the formula, so its up to you.
So hurry up and get started

Take care and God bless.

Susanne, Hi and welcome. Sorry to hear about your mom, aunt and mother-in-law. You have lots of reasons to be as healthy as you can possibly be. Good for you to want to be able to run for cancer. A worthy cause indeed. Wishing you success in your "loosing" battle.
Jackie, Hello to you too, Glad you joined us. Tracking cals sure helps with accountability and food choices. Good luck!
I also find CalCamp very helpful. It's great to build up a support group who will cheer you on and comment on your daily food choices. It spurs me on to make good and healthy choices.
All the best,
Grace

The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
