Welcome to the monthly challenge. July is here and Summer is in full swing! 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 July 1st then come back every Monday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th and the LAST DAY OF THE MONTH --Wednesday July 31st 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.

Finishing out the month at 186. 11 pounds lost

193.0 too much flip flopping need to get back to being serious!

Goal was 184. Weighing in at 185.6 this morning. Missed my goal by 1.6 pounds. Not bad. five weeks postop, and lost 21 pounds (including 5 day preop liquid diet). Now, I am ready for August!

My goal was 170, I was 170.2 this morning. I will take it!! August is going to bring kicking the 160's butt!!!

I wrote my goal to be 199 and then said I wanted to be on onederland. Well I eked into onederland at 199.5. I've held there for 3 days. I will also admit I haven't ran since eking in either. My fault. BUT I made it into onederland!
