May Challenge

For those of you who are joining your first challenge, the link above will take you to the tracking spreadsheet for the challenge. Each week you need to post your new weight along with pounds lost for the week. I will then update this spreadsheet and post the updated spreadsheet weekly.

It's great to see so many new faces joining us!

Good Luck Everyone!!!
