Mornin Bea and everyone! Today is my 1year surgiversairy or as I like to call it, my 1st re-birthday! So I'm weighing in today rather than Monday. This morning's weight is 225.2! I worked hard this week to get my weight loss moving again and it payed off. I am .2 shy of my goal for this challenge and .2 shy of having lost 100 lbs since the beginning of this journey. So I want to adjust my goal for the challenge to 220. I am going to continue weighing in on Fridays cuz it just works better for me. Thanks Bea for doing this!

Some of us here have been involved in quite a few challenges over the past few months, but we are also thrilled to have a new batch of Challengers join us for this one. I need to pose a question to the group, both veterans and newbies, before we move on to the next (Easter) challenge. I have always adjusted to challenge weigh-ins to END on the actual holiday. This means that for our next challenge, weigh-ins will be on Sunday. For longer challenges, it seems an okay move as we quickly get into the groove of things and adjust to a different weigh-in day. However, sometimes it [obviously] just gets a bit difficult to remember what day we are supposed to log in.

So, I'm posting a set of polling questions to the group here.

1. Would you like the Challenges to continue to end ON the holiday itself, making weigh-ins for them often occur on different days of the week (Easter, SUN, April 20; Memorial Day, MON, May 26; Independence Day, FRI, July 4; etc.)?

OR

2. Would you like to pick a "standardized" weigh-in DAY for the next few challenges ? Also, if you select a STANDARDIZED weigh-in day, what day would you prefer?

Thanks so much!

P.S. I'm not quite sure how to vote on this one myself (LOL!), but I'll try to post my own answer soon.

Hi Bea

You are the one doing all the work here- I'm still new to this but, I think the day we flood you with our weigh ins should be at your convenience
