March Weight Loss Challenge **Sign ups always welcome!**

Welcome to the **March** Challenge!
I hope you all had a great February, It just flew by!
But anyway, Welcome back for another month to all those who have done my previous challenges and welcome aboard to any newbies!

The challenge is pretty easy.
We'll have 5 weekly weigh In's and then a final weigh in on the last day of the month and the dates will be...:

March 1:
March 8:
March 15:
March 22:
March 29:

Final Weigh-In for the month! March 31:

Weigh in days are on a Sunday, but if need to do it another day. Let me know!

I'm sorry, I know lots of you don't like weighing in around the weekends, but maybe this will be a really good motivator to behave on Saturdays now?
Well, TRY and look at it positively anyway!

So!
Sign up any time you want, then come back on the 1st of the month, fill out the form below and post it EVERY Sunday with your new weights.

The challenge is about personal motivation and success and just knowing you're making a good change for yourself... but the person to lose the most weight will receive a "i won a challenge" type badge for their photo gallery, also!

Wow - i haven't been below 250 for over 10 years! Of course, it helps to "eat" nothing but liquids and cream of wheat for 5 days! (WLS) However, I', not complaining, as I finally have the chance to get healthy!
