This challenge is fantastic, mainly because of the people who participate (we are a supportive bunch), but also it keeps getting tweaked by participants' suggestions to make it better.

Not much point in filling out the chart - we got back from Prague on Thursday at 11 pm. Unfortunately I gained 7.1 pounds in spite of all the walking! Not to worry, am back on track. The trip was wonderful and I would do it again. We'll see what next week holds for me.0
