I just join 3 fat chicks and this is my first post. My question is even though it is the middle of the month is it too late to join the September challenge? This forum looks like the support I need to inspire me to become accountable to myself through posting. The thought of posting daily points according to how much I exercise I do, the amount of water I drink and how healthy I'm eating will proivde the encouragement I need to get me on track. Also, will this continue on into October?

CJ, you can jump in any time! Also, check out any thread with "chat" in the title (or some of the challenge threads, too), for more conversational support. This one tends to not be too chatty, maybe because it's in the sticky section (?), but it's definitely a big help to me, for keeping me on track.
Thanks Dgramie and Cheryl, I need all the help I can get.
9/21 - I made my 4 points today. Stuck with my food plan, drank my 8 glasses of water and rode my exercise bike for 30 min.

CJ, hope your weigh-in goes well! Hey, wanted to let you know, you can just have one post if you want, so you don't have to cut and paste all the time. Just go to the post you want to keep track with, and there will be a button at the bottom of your post that says "edit". (only you can see it) Click on that, and you can type in the next day's points and any notes you like to keep. I like to put what my workout is each day, just as an example, and also track my weight loss, then at the end of the month, I can print it out. I keep them in a binder, so I can see a whole month on one page, with my workouts, weight loss, and how I did for points. Probably overkill, lol, but I like the smileys!

I never thought about printing it out and keeping them. That's a great idea!
Cheryl thanks for sharing how to update progress without cut/paste it does save a lot of time, I tried it and worked. I also like the idea of printing the progress or regress to show what/when loss or gain occurred. Keep on mentoring....it helps.. Thanks,
CJ
