    Doh, entering yesterday too, since apparently I keep hitting *done* instead of *post*.

    Was stuck in a room for 10 hours with catered Tex-Mex and lots of chocolate. Was right at my calorie limit when I finally made it home, but was craving real food. Will surely see the scale up again in the morning.

    My scale goes up and down too. I'm pretty sure everybody's does. I can eat a low amount of healthful foods, but if I don't simultaneously hydrate, the scale might still be up the next day.

    Potlucks, catered lunches, and dinner invitations everywhere. As if that all hasn't been enough, I had gelato for dinner. I will honestly be happy with any loss by the time we're done.

    And I'd already like to cast my vote for another round.

    I suspect some of this weight loss is due to sickness.

    Tomorrow will be our final weigh in day for this challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing each of your weigh ins. Even if we lost a pound during this four week period, that is better than going the other direction. There is never any guilt if we don't make the exact number we were aiming for, it's a randomly selected number to try to get us going in the right direction.

    I am planning on starting a "December: 5 Pound Weight Loss" Challenge. The way I see it is that I could easily put ON 5 pounds in December, with the holiday and erratic eating schedule that comes with it. But if we don't put on 5 pounds, but instead lose 5 pounds, that's an effective 10 pound difference in what we could have been.

    So come and join in if you like. Meanwhile, let's all weigh in tomorrow and get our final number for the present challenge.

    I actually decided to start the new challenge today, calling it "5 Pounds in 5 Weeks: Over the Holidays". Feel free to join in if you'd like, you can find it under the "Challenges" section.

    Thank you for your initiative, Mike! This community support most appreciated. More important than the fat I wish to lose is the shame that accompanies my overeating binges. While I am so tempted to not report when I'm off track, I trust that there is no judgement in this space. The details might be different, but we are all on the same journey.

    I'll be joining your next challenge.

    Thank you again.

    @seawinters Absolutely no judgment, no condemnation, lots of love and support. I'm encouraging us all to report even when off track, that's my plan anyway, so that we can at least go "off track" with eyes wide open, knowing what we are choosing to do.

    Looking forward to going through the holidays with all of you, encouraging us all to enjoy doing something we may not have done before, eat in a self-controlled way through all the parties, friends and family, many of whom don't know how difficult our struggle really is.
