Welcome to the monthly challenge. September is here and Summer slowly moving on out. 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 September 1st then come back every Sunday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th and the LAST DAY OF THE MONTH --Monday September 30th 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.

Weighed in today at 361.8 lbs so I'm 1.8 pounds from my September goal :-) its so nice to be able to reach a small goal!

Still at 182. No change. :-(

Doesn't look good for my goal.

Hi skinny, I'm still at 175. I'm thinking I'm in the yellow zone. I have an appointment for my fourth fill on the 15th. Haven't last a pound in two weeks, but my clothes seem to fit me bigger and bigger.

Checking in at 193

The same :-(

I'm down from a high of 289 to 210 so 79 lbs but my PCP still isn't happy. I'm happy and will take whatever I can get. My surgeon said a pound per week is fine. It's fine with me too! By next September I hope I'll be reporting that I'm maintaining what I have lost! Cheers everyone!

246.7 sept goal exceeded by 2.7 lbs come on october challenge

176

173... Definitely hitting the 160s next month! WooHoo!!

Can't wait for this to be me one day! Congratulations!

I'm with you on this too! My ultimate goal is 142!

I'm still bouncing around at 241/242. I've only had 1 fill and feel no restriction right now so I'm sure that's a contributing factor. I've upped my exercise recently so hopefully that'll help me drop a bit more weight before fill 2 in mid October.

190.6

Checking in at 224.5. I go up I go down. I would love to find my green zone and I would love to meet my goal. Trying again next month.

Down .5. I am going to fight to get out of the 220's for October.

My goal for the end of Sept was 240....I am at 229....down 11lbs from my goal and 18lbs from what I was on Sept 1st....if only it would keep coming off like this!!! So happy!!!!

Sunday weight-in was 236.2...

Enjoying solid foods, maybe a bit too much as I made a few bad choices...but we all do from time to time.

Twin's room is done except for an art project my wife is undertaking, which I'll have to hang eventually...but my part is done for now.
