his challenge ends Wednesday November 28th (the week before American Thanksgiving...that's an accident) but YOU CAN JOIN AT ANY TIME! (Act now, but this offer WILL last, and thanks to MFP, it is only 10 easy payments of FREE!).
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.

-Identify Challenger Choice for next week here: shopping weekend away without making bad fast food choices
So sorry I'm soooo late posting. Last wednesday and Thursday were crazy busy days and then I went on a shopping weekend, so didn't get around to posting. I thought I'd do it today just in the spirit of the challenge.0 -
Thank you for this post. I just joined this group and restarted using mfp, which i realize i really need to hold myself accountable. These are all practicle and doable ideas.0

So sorry for the delay everyone! I have been under the weather for the better part of two weeks and have found it difficult to focus on MFP (plus I kind of forgot to make the charts once I had let it slide a few days)
This chart is not quite right (i.e., I have entered the week 10 submissions of folks who have already posted, but it is not yet the end of the day). But the information is correct…it just includes some extra information. :ohwell:
