                    Anyone can join at any time during the month.  Just copy and paste someone's chart and change it to fit your situation.  We normally post weight updates every week, but you can use any day of the week you like for your weigh-in.  Here's mine to start:

Anyway, I'm eating better & doing 3 strength training classes this week.  Fingers crossed this was a fluke and I'll be back to the stats I'm striving for.
