Welcome to the monthly challenge. December is here and here come all the Holidays!! 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 December 1st then come back every Sunday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th and the LAST DAY OF THE MONTH --Tuesday December 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.

I feel you! I was so in the same boat last week! I went back to Proteins, lots of Water and walked 2 miles Mon-Thurs and I lost 4 lbs!! This week I learned I've not really been putting as much effort into my weight loss as I could...

Also, sometimes it's just water weight and bloating and will go away in a day or so...

Keep up the good work! You are doing great!

live in the moment n enjoy the holidays

Checking in today at 185 ... My goal is not looking good, but you never know!

Checking in at 336. Down 2 pounds. Going in for my third fill tomorrow. Currently at 5cc/10.
