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 Monday on the 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th and the LAST DAY OF THE MONTH --Tuesday 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.

Total lost 8 pounds. Reached my weight goal and will be getting my gallbladder out this month.

I'm in Florida without a scale on vacation. Will weigh later in the week when I get back!!!

Just wanted to say good job to all y'all and if you didn't meet your goal weight for the month maybe you will this month

I worked so hard in September. My weight is going down 1.5 or 2 a week. I don't want to complain as it is heading in the right direction

Only lost a few ounces. I had another fill, another cc added. We'll see if that helps!
