Welcome to the monthly challenge. May is here and Spring has Sprung! 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 Wednesday May 1st then come back every Wednesday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and the LAST DAY OF THE MONTH --31st for May 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.
