  7. Hm. I think this sounds a little unhealthy. I mean, most bodies aren't equipped to drop that much weight that fast. I just fear that it will get out of hand and someone could get really hurt. I would love to drop 20 lbs, don't get me wrong, but in 2 months? I'm a bit iffy on that

  8. The challenge isnt about losing 20 lbs...everyone has many different goals but I read that losing 2lbs a week is totally healthy for you and that would almost be 20lbs in the two month period. I lost 16 lbs in a month by running a mile everyday and that is how I started my weight loss journey :)

  9. @ julia it depends on the person..you tend to drop weight faster if you are heavier so 20 pounds for you may be harder to lose than 20 lbs for someone else. also it is mentioned above and in the info. vid on Q's channel that its not about the amount of physical weight you lose. it's a mental challenge as well. the winner will be who has the best changes in weight mentally and overall...ther's nothing unhealthy about that!

    anyway Good luck ladies i'm super duper excited and i cant wait to watch my body transform. i look forward to seeing your changes as well...blessings and love <3
