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 at 175...have a head cold feel cruddy and in a soup mood:( bundled on couch no mood for a walk today...maybe later this evening.

I'm up a lb. to 231. I'm not worried about it though. I think it is because I recently went from liquids to mushies and now slowly to solids. I'm happy that I'm just able to finally get enough protein and am only forgetting to take my calcium about once a day. I may not make my 225 goal for this month, but I'm following the rules without a full and am feeling better than I have in a long time. And I've still lost since my Aug. 29th surgery!

checking in at 202.5!

I know i am late to start this but this will help me be on track!
