Call it new math. Two months into the three-month Weight Loss Challenge, our group hits the midway point.

How so? Well, we at TBO.com and 4you have become so addicted to this group of folks, we offered them a chance to stay on for an extra month. They agreed, so the weight loss continues through the end of May.

Of course, we’re quite confident that the weight loss will continue for these six individuals past that date, too, as they continue to improve their health and fitness. If their progress so far is any indicator, there’s no question about that.

The six have lost a combined 107.5 pounds in two months, setting a record for the Challenge (see chart below). Last year’s best group dropped just short of 100 pounds in three months.

So keep up the great work, Challengers! We’re enjoying every lost pound of it.
