Welcome to the monthly challenge. March is here and spring is just around the corner, so this month is the "March Pre Spring Challenge".

Copy and post the template below and fill in the information that you are comfortable sharing on Thursday March 1 the come back every Thursday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 30th and post your updated weight. I will keep track of the weights and try to get a table listing everyones results on the following weekend, and I will make and effort to do better than last month.

Good luck to everyone and remember this isn't a contest it's a challenge and you are a winner no matter how much you loose.

Yay! 219 - Down 2 lbs! Back where I started this month but it's amazing what a little fill can do!

No loss this week. But no gain either, so...holding steady at 238.

Holy Moly, 6 pounds in one week. I'm happy with 6 pounds in a month anymore.

im down 1 lb.....195 this morning

Larry - I usually lose 6 to 8 in a month so this was unusual for me. My weight had been bouncing back and forth for a while and finally it dropped.

Still at 160, so no change this week. Good luck everyone!

March Pre Spring Challenge

Big congratulations to CTMom who is now no longer a fat person with a BMI in the normal range.

legnarevocrednu is in Onederland

Congratulations to everyone who has already met their goal, to those close to meeting their goal, those who have lost any weight at all and even those who have gained weight this month. I think that everyone of us at least once in our life threw up our hands and thought "what's the use I will never loose any weight, let alone enough to make a difference". Just because you are participating in this challenge proves that you are making an effort.

I expect to see everyone back for next months April Showers Challenge.
