    11/01-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.1)- I was able to weigh in after all though this is typically a no-weigh Friday. There is no school today for my DGS so I was able to hop on the scale at around my normal time. I’m shocked to see the scale did not go up. My meals were good yesterday but then I got into my DGS’s Halloween bag and had two fistfuls of candy bar minis / m&m’s. I give away small bottles of Sunny D and Capri Sun drink pouches (no red dyes in either) so there was no candy temptation here UNTIL he came in with a bunch of candy that he’s smart enough to ration even at age 6. I could learn a lot! Anyway, God was Good and I was blessed with the exact same weight as yesterday and a trend weight that went down. Good luck to all for November, let's make it a good month and a good challenge overall! We can do this!

    11/04-190.6-(Trend Weight: 191.6)- I dipped down to 189.0 for a hot minute but back up I went after my DD’s 30th birthday party yesterday (and dinner out). I will work on this everyday until I get back into the 180’s and then I will work on it some more! My pledge!

    Hi everyone, STARTING OVER through the end of this year! Posting my initial stats a day late. My weigh-in day is Wednesday until the end of this year and I will post my final challenge weight here on Wednedsay, January 1st, 2025. Can you believe it? Yesterday was only 8 weeks until January 1, 2025! Okay; so here's my first weight post:

    11/06: 154.2, Lbs. Lost: 0.0; total challenge loss: 0.0 Renpho scale stats for Day 01:
    upruumkio1rt.jpg
    Yeah, it thinks I'm 70 years old and I'm only 66, LOL! (I hope I can improve that!)

    My initial measurements for 11/06 are:
    B: 40", W: 37", H: 39", P (Potbelly!): 47.5! (It's sad when your belly sticks out more than your BUTT! ;) )
    Inches lost this week: 0.0", Total inches lost this challenge: 0.0"

    I won't post stats again until the end of this challenge, 01/01/25, at which time I will post smaller, side-by-side screenshots of my Renpho scale app stats so I can show progress towards my goal. (I will update my key measurements weekly, however, plus weight loss for the week (if any) and total loss for the challenge so far.)

    I am trying to lose at least 10 lbs. for this challenge, but if I can lose more, GREAT! My goal is to eventually get down to anywhere between 132-140 lbs. (I'm 5'3".)

    Have a great week everyone!
    💗Carole

    Great goal & sense of humor. I too have a Renpho scale but never thought to compare my monthly stats. Thank you for the idea. Anna

    Hi everyone,

    I was way off with my belly measurement!

    Checked again and corrected as follows:

    B: 40", W: 37", H: 39", P (Potbelly!): 43.5".

    I will post these stats again with a comparison to stats as of 01/01/25, along with before/after scale app stats side-by-side stats to show progress.

    I will continue to post weight, week loss and total loss each Wednesday through January 1, 2025.

    Have a great week!

I’m going to really try to really listen to my body as I approach all the upcoming holidays. Portion control will be key.

    Hi everyone,

    Hey, @tinathescreamer! Welcome! Guess what? If you say your profile name with a Boston accent, it RHYMES, ha-ha! Don't worry about that sudden jump on the scale. I'm very sure that's just temporary water weight gain and it should be gone within 2-3 days. That happens to me all the time. I usually end up having a meal like that the night before weigh-in! (GOTTA stop doing that!)

    I was a bit bummed because my scale jumped up 2.6 lbs. in one night for whatever reason! (Probably too much sodium or a late dinner the night before. I sure hope it corrects itself by Wednesday!

    Have a great week!

    For all the boards in which I participate: I do hereby call a "Do-Over DO-OVER"! (Yay.)

    That's right, beginning this Wednesday, November 20th, which is just SIX WEEKS from the New Year, I will post my new weight (which I'm sure will be UP, because I must confess that I've been overindulging). I will also post updated scale app stats and key measurements (bust, waist, hips and "paunch" - as in "potbelly"). I will refer to these measurements as "B", "W", "H" and "P".

    I will post side-by-side before and after data on January 1st, 2025, the final day of this challenge, in order to show progress towards my goal of 140 lbs. or less. I will then start up a new challenge beginning on January 1, 2025 and continuing until the first day of SPRING, Thursday, March 20th. I will aim for a weight loss of one pound per week. That means I will need to reduce calorie consumption and increase calorie expenditure to a combined total of 500 calories per day, since 3,500 calories = 1 lb. I've decided to stick with Wednesdays for my weigh-in day. It's right in the middle between weekends, when we normally tend to go off our routines a bit; so it gives some time to "balance out" the week's calorie and activity levels.

    That's all for now. I'll be back on Wednesday, November 20th.

    Have a great weekend, everyone!

    💖Carole
