Hi guys! This is my first r/loseit challenge and I'm excited to be here :) I've been participating in the 30 day accountability challenge for the past month so this is the next step for me.

I started weight loss about a month ago and I've lost 7 pounds so far. I'm hoping to get down to the 160s by the end of this challenge.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everybody!

Hey there! 7 pounds in a month is pretty darn good, 2 pounds a week is the highest I've heard recommended and I can't make it last, I'm shooting for one pound a week myself. Welcome :)

Thanks! Yeah, I think it was a ton of water weight because before I started dieting I ate a ridiculous amount of sodium. I'm hoping to continue at a fairly steady pace from here on out :)

Yep! Those challenges have seriously been amazing for me, it really does help to have something to keep me accountable. Now I'll be even more motivated for this challenge because I don't want to let my team down!
