Hi Friends!

We just finished a fantabulous September Challenge, to lose 4-8#. The goal may seem very small to some, but for people like me, who are in this as a long-term WOE, I needed something that wouldn't disappoint me if I didn't lose 10#. LC'ing since April, my weight is going down very, very slow...just like it was gained in the first place!

So...drumroll please, Here is the OCTOBER FRIENDLY CHALLENGE

**To weigh ourselves ONCE a week, & check in at least weekly.There is no judgement upon those who can only pop in weekly. We all understand busy work schedules! Life happens! But for some of us, we will be popping in almost daily to encourage those who have joined...so everyone wins!

**To measure our chest, waist and hips weekly. Report change or no change. For personal reasons, for those of us who are shy, we can keep the measurements to ourselves and just report the change by inches each week. Sound fair? Works for me!

**To write a letter or postcard to a different person each week: This takes 15 minutes max! Someone whom we haven't spoken to in a long time, just to brighten up our little corner of the world, to make a difference in somebody's day.

Perhaps it's someone we only talk to during Christmas, or maybe it's a high school teacher or Sunday School teacher, or an old neighbor, someone who was so kind and influential to us (We may wish to leave an old flame outta this one, eh)?

Nothing at all can be negative about this! I can't WAIT to hear the remarks about this one, as you hear replies back!

Who's game? I am, count me in!
