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.

Happy Solstice every one -- the days will be getting longer again now, though you wouldn't know it here in NH on this dark Sunday morning. I am struggling a bit with so many holiday events but glad to see some overall success this month. And one more week to go! Have a fill tomorrow morning, my third one, and I'm looking forward to that assistance. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays all!

My goal was 199- I have just a couple more days, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to make it- I will make 199 for my goal next month I wanted to be out of these 200s but I know it's not a race, guess I should be happy that I didn't gain during holidays.
