Yay congrats!!

Unfortunately after seeing my surgeon yesterday it was decided that I should not continue with the Challenge at this time. I have put my body in starvation mode again both by dehydration and not eating enough protein. Please everyone make sure you get enough of both everyday. It is so important to your health. I may join the next challenge but we will see I haven't decided yet. Good luck to you all.

This post alarms me. Please, everyone, keep in mind these challenges are simply to keep us accountable. There is no prize, no judgement, just fun.

Shells, I hope you get your levels up quickly. You're in my thoughts!

Shells, I'm sad that you were doing anything to put yourself in harms way for this challenge. The point is to drink and eat so you CAN lose weight! This is just supposed to be helpful to is to track your loss and also see others be successful. No stress involved! We've all been through enough
