Welcome to the board! You will have lots of support here.
I would direct you to participate in our monthly fitness challenges. They are SO helpful to keep track of your daily exercise.
You are still welcome to come and joing the Spooky october challenge, even if it is already the middle of the month, why wait around for next month to start?
