    Weigh-in Wednesdays are encouraged, as they come right in the middle of the week, allowing for some flexibility on the weekends when we sometimes have different routines. Also, the first day of 2025 falls on a Wednesday, and the final day of this challenge, Wednesday, March 19th is the last day of Winter!

    I will begin posting my weight and scale app stats on January 1st. The remaining weeks I will just post weight changes, but will post before/after scale app stats on March 19th.

    For me, daily food logging and regular activity are key. (Whatever works for you is fine.)

    I look forward to sharing this wellness journey with you!

    Would like to join. Weighing in January 1st 2025 will be on a Wednesday. I may have trouble doing my weighing in because I celebrate.

    Welcome @garciakayc!🌹I'm having insomnia right now due to a second bout with COVID, but I wanted to let you know I read and appreciated your post.

    I am steadily improving. I will check the board every day until the official start date. You can pick whatever start date works best for you and can choose whatever with in day you prefer.

    Best wishes for the rest of the weekend!

    Hi @garciakayc,

    Many thanks for your well wishes! The COVID test line took longer to appear and is fainter than before - online information from CDC states that this means the level of virus is decreasing - yay!

    I am not running a temperature but I still have some congestion and a partially blocked right ear, but otherwise I'm okay.

    I understand that you will be posting your first challenge weight on Wednesday, January 8th. That still gives you 10 weeks until the last day of this challenge. We can do this!

    Enjoy your Sunday!

    💗 Carole

    I would like to join this challenge. I'll have to think about what day of the week will work the best.

    This is great. I am in. I have 70 Pounds to lose but one step at a time. I like to lose 10-15 lbs by March 19th. Current weight 189 lbs. do you think weekly weigh-in is better or daily weigh-in?

    Thanks Walela for setting this challenge up and for inviting us to join you. Wednesdays work perfectly for me as I've been working Sun, Mon and Tuesdays. Just handed in my resignation yesterday, so Wednesdays are my first day off, and Wed Jan 1st will be the first day of 'retirement' ;3rd time I've retired ;) . Looking forward to being able to focus on "me".
    Today's weight is 177.2.

    Okay, now time for a dumb question ~ how to include a person's name in your post, such as how Rainbow included "@Walela617" ? If I select "quote" then the entire post is included, I only want the name.
