Welcome to the monthly challenge. October is here and time to keep working on Autumn/Fall progress. The Spooktacular 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 Monday October 1st then come back every Monday 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.

234 wahoo!! Just did water boot camp. Even adapting some things, that was the most head to toe workout since banding. Hurts so good! !

Checking in 282.2

(UGH only .6lbs this week--but it's still a loss--after a weekend of "fair food") Hubby is a teacher and we had to work the class booth all weekend. It's difficult to find "good" choices. I got a burger and ate the patty only one night. But there were other choices I made that were not good. Starting off on a tight leash this week. Let's keep the scales going DOWN!

Not a happy camper 205.8. Up a lb

Checking in at 197.8.

Thatsssss awesome!!! Ahhhhhh. I can't wait till onederland!!

Checking in late. I was up 2lbs after my weekend away but managed to take them off and am happy to check in down .4
