Welcome to the monthly challenge. Septeber is here and time to start working on Autumn/Fall activities. The Autumn Challenge is a fun way to keep track of your monthly weight loss while gaining and giving support to other bandsters.

Copy and post the template below and fill in the information that you are comfortable sharing on Saturday September 1st the come back every Saturday 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.

Checking in this Satutday at 342lbs.... So down another 2.4lbs! Had some challenges this week...I turned the BIG 40 on Thursday and had the smallest ever piece of cake but felt super guilty. And a co-worker brought me Starbucks! But yesterday I threw the rest of a quarter sheet birthday cake in the trash and put Starbucks behind me. I've got to stop with the guilt thing, it sabotages me every time!

Checking in at 200. Down 1.4 for the week. I surprised myself this morning because I felt bloated and thought I'd be up a pound. I'll take any loss over a gain.

Started September at 202

Happy birthday! Don't fret about a piece of cake on your birthday. I will indulge once in a while but just not over do it. As for Starbucks, I have it once in a great while but do a skinny version of my drink!
