    interesting stats. It's so easy to get off track or have a "party" weekend or a bad day, then just throw in the towel. Let's keep supporting each other and finish the challenge, whether were up or down a notch in our proverbial belts! If we can log one meal, one snack, one 4 oz glass of Malbec, if we think about something before we eat it, if we park further from the store, then we are winning. We all got this 18.3 percenters! Happy Friyay! B)

    @mthwbrwn, Interesting data, but not surprising to me. IMO, everyone that joins a challenge wants to participate 100%. Some challenges I've been a part of, have been started by someone that never shows up again. I know for a fact that many people that fall off, for whatever reason, come back and read our posts, then rejoin the challenge at another time. So, we 18.3 percenters are encouragement to them.

    Congratulations to everyone who has made it past the halfway mark of this challenge.

    19 people have weighed in for the Nov 4 date. I was wondering what percentage of users are still around after 7 weeks of logging, so I put a quick web scraper together and here is what I've found about this group.

    There have been 390 posts. Of those posts, there have been 104 unique users. This means that of those people who have visited the challenge and made a post at some point, only 18.3% of those users made a weigh-in post Nov 4th.

    Anyway, I thought this was interesting, so I wanted to pass this along.

    @mthwbrwn Some people have changed the dates of their weigh-ins for various reasons and do not weigh in on the 4th but are still here weighing. I'm not sure how that fits into your web scraper. It would be interesting to know actual people who persist regarless of exact date. I agree with @tiabirdie56, we are still an inspiration to those who remain. Thanks for sharing the data.

    I don't post everyday, but I'm still in. I check the new posts and weigh in on Mondays. I like these challenges. I check my weight daily and it keeps me honest.

    I took the changed dates into account. (I've had quite a few weeks myself where I didn't get back to the scale until Tues or Wed)
    As far as the people who persist, all I did was count back to November 4th and then scroll through the weight postings up until the 7th.

    The only thing I used the scraper for was to get a length of the list of posts (total posts) and then a length of the set of that list (unique users) because I wasn't about to manually go through 20 pages and count on all my fingers and toes!

    At any rate, I hope that the data comes across as either useful or trivial in the eye of the beholder, but not as an indictment for anyone who needed to take a breather and wants to come back.

    @mthwbrwn Thanks again for the info & data. Your explanation makes it even more interesting. I must admit, I love hearing both data & research. Does that make me a bit of a geek? LOL Anyhow, I am proud to stay as committed as I possibly can. It can only help, right?

    @ezbreeze6888. Thanks. I had a 3-day binge last weekend, so I knew I had to get over that. Back on track - just in time, too. Thanksgiving is coming!! 🍗

    You're the one killing it!!

    My goal for this challenge is to power through the Halloween & Thanksgiving holidays and avoid as many temptations as possible to show a one pound loss per week. Out-of-town Christmas shopping travels will be the biggest challenge!

    Weigh In Schedule:
    09/23: 193.0
    09/30: 192.0
    10/07: 187.2 Traveling today & Wednesday. I hope I don’t wipe out all my progress!
    10/14: 190.0 I hate travel!
    10/21: 189.2 I wish I could have made more lasting progress.
    10/28: 187.8 Trying very hard. Travel this week so it will be a week of breaking even.
    11/04: 186.0 Did better than I thought. Gained a bit of travel weight but quickly worked it off and trusted the process.

    Since Monday are my highest days of the week, I will put my Sunday weight and include my 7 day average for the week. Really looking to break into the 130's by the end of this challenge.

    Highest Weight: 178
    Current Weight: 145.4
    12 Week Goal Weight: 135-138
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 135-138

    Weigh In:

    9/23: 143.7 (Avg 144.6) - Weekends are my downfall. Had my youngest daughters birthday party and drank a little to much with the family on Saturday. It always hits me 2 days later.

    9/30: 140.9 (Avg 142.34) - tailgating for the Cowboys game. Drank and ate way to much yesterday. Feel terrible today and realizing I am getting way to old for these crazy weekends anymore.

    10/07: 141.5 (Avg 143.5) - Took a 3 day weekend this weekend. Had a little bit of a fall Saturday night and just needed to rest. The hubby and I are going to see a movie (Joker) and probably go out to lunch. Not having any snacks or popcorn though at the movies.

    10/14: 143.6 (Avg 143.13) - My lowest Monday ever. Did really well this weekend and am super proud that I held it together. If I can get my Mondays (which is usually my highest day of the week) down to 138 I will be stoked! Although, I haven't even been able to get my lowest days of the week into the 130's yet, lol.

    10/21: 143.9 (Avg 141.97) - Yup I had a really good weekend. Darnitt! At least my 7 day average is still trending down.

    10/28: 139.7 (Avg 143.37) Was high all week for some reason, but ended lower. Did a 24 hour fast on Saturday, so my Sunday weigh-in is probably lower than it should be. I am sure will bounce back u p, but was nice to see this morning.

    11/4: 140.7 ( Avg 141.13) Was a little higher than last week, but not by much. Now I will bounce around here for a couple of weeks. I have really been trying, it's just so sow these days.

    11/11: 144.3 (Avg 141.57) and that is my weight after a bloody Mary and Mexican food yesterday! Booo
