Checking in early as I am travelling this weekend. I'm STUCK at 272. UGH...I hate plateaus...the scale has move only 6 lbs in the last 4 weeks. It's my own fault, I have not been faithful to the gym. After my vacation next week, I will hit it hard!

Welcome to the monthly challenge. December is here and time to work on Happy Endings! A Very Blessed December 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 Saturday December 1st then come back every Saturday on the 8th' date=' 15th, 22nd, and 29th 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 challenger please leave a short introduction.
