There is no way or should I say no healthy way someone can lose 20 pounds in 11 days. I truly feel this is an over exaggeration on the person's part just to win the FQ's this month and that is not right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly I think if I was the hostess I would want proof on this. A Dr.s note or pictures. It is unfair to the rest of us that are being honest and doing the right thing to lose the weight.
Why does someone always have to ruin the fun for others.
Sorry if I have made anyone mad but I just had to say something.
You didn't make me mad. I absolutely agree with you. The problem I have been having is excessive swelling in all parts of my body. I didn't 20 pounds of fat, it is probably 95% water weight. The exciting thing for me is that it is finally starting to leave. Water or fat feels the same when you have to carry it around. It is a medical problem and it feels really good to be getting it off.
I'm not in the fat quarter race. I'm just in this to lose the extra weight I carry around. I'm not trying to discourage anyone. I was just happy for me. Sorry if I upset anyone. I'll lurk a bit more quietly.
