:wub: Welcome to the monthly challenge. February is here and time to keep this great momentum going! Last month our challengers lost 198lbs!! This month's challenge: "February Challenge-Love is in the Air!" 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 Friday February 1st then come back every Friday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and **new this challenge** LAST DAY OF THE MONTH --28th for February 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 challenge please leave a short introduction.
