Welcome to the monthly challenge. July is here and time to start working mid-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 Sunday July 1st the come back every Sunday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th and post your updated weight. I will keep track of the weights 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 lose.

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.

Awesome job!!

I had to move my 3rd fill appt from 7/25 to 8/17 because I forgot I'm going to be on vacation next week. That stinks, as I could really use some more restriction. In fact I'm doing 2 shakes for 7 days with normal dinners just to get control.

Here's the updated sheet:

Stay cool and stay active!
