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

198...woohoo....... onderland

So had a full on Friday and with the liquid diet for a couple days I had a nice drop. So my check in weight is 389.

checking in at 255.2. down .4 since last week. not too great, but it's a loss and I'll take it. Seems like I am just gaining and losing the same pound or two for the last month.

Checking in at 219.0. Down only 0.8 lbs. not as much as I was hoping for but at least it's a loss. I'm supposed to start my TOM too so that could've contributed. Gonna be hard to hit my monthly goal of 215 now but I'm not giving up. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

198...woohoo....... onderland

Way to go!!!
