Challenge Previous Weeks
Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change


11/01-190.6-(Trend Weight: 192.1)-

11/04-190.6-(Trend Weight: 191.6)-

11/11-190.0-(Trend Weight: 191.4)- Sometimes progress comes in trickles instead of waves. I’m happy to see progress on both my scale weight and my trend weight even though its small. I’m going to really try to really listen to my body as I approach all the upcoming holidays. Portion control will be key.

11/18-192.2-(Trend Weight: 191.6)- I’m posting a day late and a dollar short. The weekend guests and the travel (with restaurant) caught up with me. I’ll be working on it from now until Turkey day. Disappointed but hopeful as I move forward.

Challenge final weight:

Major surgery at the end of September + major life stresses over the past several weeks. Current goal is to slowly get back to the weight I was just before the surgery (188.4 lbs) but to continue taking it easy, in order to give myself time and energy to heal fully. Doctor’s orders

Hi everyone, Here I go. It wasn't as bad as I thought (I only regained 0.6 lbs.), but here are my initial stats and key measurements for Day 1 of my 6-week, New Year Countdown:

B: 40"/W: 37"/H: 39"/P: 43"

I will update weight change weekly including week loss/total loss (since today) and will post side-by-side, before/after stats and measurements for January 1, 2025, when I get back to the office after New Year's Day. I'm hoping to average a pound loss per week (or more) so I can be in the 140's by 1/1/25!

Have a great week everyone!
💗Carole
