The last challenge was so successful for so many people. Let's keep it up. Memorial Day, and in my world, that means summer, is only 15 weeks away! I am personally hoping to have to buy all new shorts by then
PLEASE CHECK IN WITH YOUR CHALLENGE CURRENT WEIGHT (if you want to display it) AND CHALLENGE GOAL. PLEASE REMEMBER TO POST ALL UPDATES IN RED SO THEY ARE EASY TO SEE. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!
