Welcome to the monthly challenge. June is here and time to start working on those summer activities. The Summer Challenge is a fun way to keep track of your monthly weight loss while gaining and giving support to other bandster's.

Copy and post the template below and fill in the information that you are comfortable sharing on Friday June 1st the come back every Tuesday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 30th and post your updated weight. I will keep track of the weights and try, and make a better effort at it than last month, to get a table listing everyone's results on the following weekend.

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.

The first three items are required all others are recommended, but the last one is the most fun. If you are new to our monthly challenger please leave a short introduction.

I will make a chart and post it for June...

Do we have to be banded to join? I'm waiting on my insurance to clear and then I will be scheduling my surgery, hopefully soon! In the meantime I am trying hard to eat better and slowly starting to work exercise back in. I would love to join you guys in this challenge if its ok?

Comeo on down! If you can fill out the form so I can add you to the sheet that would be great!

No we always check in on the 1st, 8th, 15th. and so forth regardless of what day it is.

Folks I need to apologize but it doesn't look like I will get a table with the weigh ins completed anytime soon. Way to much going on this month with three weekends of music festivals and two grandkids with birthdays my weekends are pretty much used up.

If there is anyone who would like to create something, even an exel or word document would do, let me know.

Larry I'm going to do the file, and I have it updated through what people have submitted so far but I don't know how to attach it...I'm looking how to but if you could let me know how you do it. Thanks, Lisa
