HAPPY THANKSGIVING
November 18 - November 27, 2021
Please join us starting on 11/18, for JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, when we will begin Round 169!
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! United we can do this, you can do this, lets support each other.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went, celebrations, challenges in life. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.

Thank you very much to @quiltingjaine, @musicsax, and @GrandmaJackie for the past challenges and for helping it continue on! The new format of the boards makes it a little harder to read, but doesn't dampen the support and community of this little group.5

Hey - one thing I noticed is this is under the Health and Weight Loss category instead of Challenges. Is this something that can be changed? Otherwise I'm afraid that some folks might not be able to find it.5

I’m in…it looks great! Thanks to everyone for keeping this going!6

Thanks, @musicsax for carrying us onward! This will be a tough one with Thanksgiving involved, but I'm determined to stay on track with all you lovely people
You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better than you were before

@musicsax Bravo for setting up the new challenge. You’ve done a grand job.
@quiltingjaine @GrandmaJackie
Thank you so much for keeping the group going over the years.
I will be here on the 18th.5 -
Great Job! @musicsax Thank you for setting up the new round!
I posted a link to this announcement on November 12 2021. We will still have to contend with changes at some point.
BBCode is Back! For now at least. After much discussion with our forum provider we have been given the go ahead to return to BBCode in the short term. They are taking our feedback into consideration as to what was not working for us with their new posting editor and will hopefully be making some much needed changes before its time for us to full embrace the newness.
*Please note all posts made before we switched back to BBCode will still maintain the other formatting. All new posts will utilize BBCode.4 -

I wish they would get rid of the list of categories and go back to the old method. I bookmarked (⭐️) this board and it made it easy to find without scrolling.7

Great idea! The only reason I noticed it is that I keep a browser tab open to the Challenges category and couldn't find it. It's all good though - bookmarks for the win.5 -
I would like to join! Am coming back from 7 months off my feet. Would like to lose a little more before settling into maintenance next year. Wishing everyone great success and good health!

That was me, didn't realise it was in the Challenges category, I think once it's been posted it can't be changed? Maybe corrected next round ? Apologies
Hey, no worries, love the post, honey!4 -
I am 58 yr old, 5' 6" female from the Midwest.
OSW 213.4 (July 2012)
Round 164 (Round 1) SW 206.6 RGW 205 EW 204 -2.6 Comments: Very stressful at home this round.
Round 165 (Round 2) SW 204 RGW 204 Comments: Traveled - quilt retreat just hoping to stay the same and not go up.
Round 166 - I skipped this one. Too much traveling and stress with elderly mother and a husband who just started radiation therapy.
Round 167 (Round 3) SW RGW EW 207.4
Round 168 (Round 4) SW 207.4 RGW 204 EW 205.8
Round 169 (Round 5) SW 205.8 RGW 204 EW
Trying to get under 205 once again. It seems to be a difficult task for me. My goal for the end of 2021 is to be under 200 but time is getting short and the holidays are upon us.
SW: 205.8
