10/31-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- Less than last week and is mainly due to some very low calorie fasting for the past 2 days that kept me 800 calories or under. I am gravitating toward the 180’s slowly and in stealth mode. Perhaps I can sneak up on it and it won’t notice! Down 3 lbs for the month of October but up 3.6 for the entire challenge so I must do better. Hoping to keep up the momentum since last month I was up 6.6 lbs for the challenge so I am having some improvement. Anyway, Have a safe evening my friends and lets try to remember that the candy belongs to our kids, grandkids and random trick-or-treaters. Not you or me. Yes, even the Reese‘s Peanut Butter Cups!

11/01-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.1)- I was able to weigh in after all though this is typically a no-weigh Friday. There is no school today for my DGS so I was able to hop on the scale at around my normal time. I’m shocked to see the scale did not go up. My meals were good yesterday but then I got into my DGS’s Halloween bag and had two fistfuls of candy bar minis / m&m’s. I give away small bottles of Sunny D and Capri Sun drink pouches (no red dyes in either) so there was no candy temptation here UNTIL he came in with a bunch of candy that he’s smart enough to ration even at age 6. I could learn a lot! Anyway, God was Good and I was blessed with the exact same weight as yesterday and a trend weight that went down. Good luck to all, let's make it a good month!

Hi everyone,

Happy November, happy weekend!
Switching to Wednesday weigh-ins until January 1, 2025, when I plan to switch back to Sundays. It's seems I've been mainly maintaining lately, but I'd really like to get down to the mid-140's by the first day of of the new year. Here's how my progress looks right now:

10/07/24: 156.0 lbs.
10/14/24: 154.8 lbs.
10/23/24: 154.8 lbs.
10/30/24: 154.8 lbs.
WK LOSS: 0.0 lbs.
TL LOSS: 1.2 lbs.

Can you believe we're setting our clocks back Sunday? (Most of us anyway.) Whoa.

Have a nice weekend, everyone!
💗 Carole

Hi everyone, STARTING OVER through the end of this year! Posting my initial stats a day late. My weigh-in day is Wednesday until the end of this year and I will post my final challenge weight here on Wednedsay, January 1st, 2025. Can you believe it? Yesterday was only 8 weeks until January 1, 2025! Okay; so here's my first, "Do-Over" weight post:

11/06: 154.2, Lbs. Lost: 0.0; total challenge loss: 0.0 Renpho scale stats for Day 01:

Yeah, it thinks I'm 70 years old and I'm only 66, LOL! (I hope I can improve that!)

My initial measurements for 11/06 are:
B: 40", W: 37", H: 39", P (Potbelly!): 47.5! (It's sad when your belly sticks out more than your BUTT! )
Inches lost this week: 0.0", Total inches lost this challenge: 0.0"

I won't post stats again until the end of this challenge, 01/01/25, at which time I will post smaller, side-by-side screenshots of my Renpho scale app stats so I can show progress towards my goal. (I will update my key measurements weekly, however, plus weight loss for the week (if any) and total loss for the challenge so far.)

I am trying to lose at least 10 lbs. for this challenge, but if I can lose more, GREAT! My goal is to eventually get down to anywhere between 132-140 lbs. (I'm 5'3".)

Have a great week everyone!
💗Carole

11/07-192.2-(Trend Weight: 191.9)- I ate and drank my way through the nail biting election night. As you can see by my trend weight, I was doing pretty good until then. I even dipped my toes into the 180’s pool for a hot minute. Back on track and working on it.

Hi everyone,

I was way off with my belly measurement!

Checked again and corrected as follows:

B: 40", W: 37", H: 39", P (Potbelly!): 43.5".

I will post these stats again with a comparison to stats as of 01/01/25, along with before/after scale app stats side-by-side stats to show progress.

I will continue to post weight, week loss and total loss each Wednesday through January 1, 2025.

Have a great week!

💗 Carole
