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.

TKW 280 - NUTHIN

Checking in - 214. Same as last week. But since I lost 4 lbs last week, I'm fine with this

505lbs up 3lbs, but not discouraged!! My pants are looser, and I'm gaining muscle because of the gym. I get a fill on Tuesday, as well. Staying positive!!!

I am up 1 lb...but have been working out like crazy...hopefully it's muscle... Going to go even harder at it this week...

I am up a pound today to 315. I think I am eating too many nuts and am retaining water. Dang pistachios. Lol. This challenge is not going well for me!!

Weight today was 167.
