    It's great that you're thinking ahead @Lilylady3k

    Same for me: I don't use my work accounts at home. Numbers is bare-bones compared to Excel and Sheets, but I can usually find my workarounds

    @dawnbgethealthy Mostly true! Flats can be found, though: Chrissy Field, Embarcadero, etc.

    That's a strenuous walking route! @frankwbrown : tell me more about the Brown house you mentioned.

    I am loving all the charts and graphs from so many of you. Unfortunately, I'm not quite THAT computer savvy. All I have is what the trendweight website tracks for me. But I love reading everyone's imput.

    @plantpowered I love all the pics in SF! Beautiful art and culture!

    @age_is_just_a_number Thank you for the suggestion of ending a day early. I decided to go ahead and do that on all my challenges. My monthly challenges show that From Nov 1st to Nov 29th I lost 6.0 lbs so that was double my goals and I am more than happy to end November with those numbers. Looking over my yearly trendweight graph, I see that I don't normally do well in the fall or winter. And those are long seasons in northern Michigan. My good month's were June, July and Aug. That's about it. So it is difficult to make up weight in 3 months what I've stalled or put on in 9 months. That's the real value I've gotten out of my yearly graph which I'll probably post at the end of Dec to show the whole year. I was very much in need of this good November. I need some good weeks and months in the winter too! Knowledge is power so I will have to work on that for sure!

    My last post for Challenge #24 thread.

    Week 14 - 9 days - average IN calories 1908 vs 1770 target.
    Week 14 - loss 0.8lbs
    Challenge 24 - loss 2.4lbs; goal was lose 6.7lbs
    2025 - year to date loss 15.2lbs

    Overall - a loss is better than a gain.

    Congratulations to everyone for sticking with this challenge. I have found these challenges to be a game changer for me. I am so grateful to all of you for your insights, encouragement and discussions.

    @plantpowered Thank you for sharing the pictures. What a great way to decorate steps!

    Your stats for 24 are incredible! The perfect place to be: lost nearly 10lbs of fat and GAINED nearly 5lbs of MUSCLE. That is the holy grail of body re-composition! Way to go!

    @frankwbrown A loss is better than a gain! And we are both making progress with our mini-challenge. I said to my in-laws yesterday 'nothing like a little 1:1 competition to light a fire under my rear end!'. We've got this! 1 month remaining in our mini-challenge and Challenge 25 here we come!

    I've debated for years about getting a DEXA scan. Please tell me if you believe they are worth it and how useful you find the data it gives you.

    @deepwoodslady Congratulations on doubling your goal for November and losing 7.6lbs for the entire challenge (on average that is 0.5lbs/week, which is my target loss)!! That's awesome. You've been really consistent this round.
    Re the winter vs summer months —> Winter isn't quite as long here in Toronto as it is in northern Michigan, but we do get our fair share of winter. My husband is like you (gain in winter, lose in summer). Strangely, I'm the other way around (lose in winter, gain in summer). You are absolutely right "Knowledge is power so I will have to work on that for sure!". We do not need to let the past repeat itself. I look at my data almost daily to assess whether recent changes are having an impact and if not, what to change.
    So glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving dinner. I don't know if it is an option for you, but sometimes soup kitchens or churches will accept food donations.

    darn-it … posted into #24 instead of #25. I'll have to remove that bookmark.
