I will be joining and this will be my first challenge ever. I was banded on 3/16 and have had 1 fill. I will have my 2nd fill on Monday afternoon which happens to be my birthday. I figure a fill is a great gift to give myself! lol

This challenge is perfect timing for me, as it is time to get serious. This will help me, I have no doubts.

I'm in! Going to put my stats in today because I usually don't get on the computer on Sundays. I'll update my weight on Monday mornings
