Final Challenge Thoughts: While I didn’t come near my goal, I did lose a little in the right direction. Every little bit helps. I thought summer would be the most challenging, but September and October have been the worst since I started my journey. I’m just glad I didn’t get a gain and keep it.! I look forward to the next challenge that @tiabirdie56 started yesterday.
