Welcome to the monthly challenge. April is here and time to start thinking about spring. This 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 April 1st then come back every Monday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and the LAST DAY OF THE MONTH --30th for April 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.

Working through some trouble spots but getting back on track. Won't make goal but that is ok, still loosing and feeling great. Started with a personal trainer last week and getting my butt kicked. Feeling very alive.

227 down from 229 finally off my almost month long plateau

I didn't hit my goal for the month but I made it to the wonderful One'derland 199 lbs. . 6 lbs for the month.

Checking in at 161.5 (down 1.5!)

Checking in at 159

Checking in with no change from last week.

TOM got me back at 218

Ended the month same as I started it which is a bit frustrating but better than a gain. Will just continue the fight next month.

Checking in' date=' at 187.8 this morning. Down 5.8!! Only .8 away from my April 30th goal!![/quote']
