A NON-Challenge Thread
 

Just about every month I post a new "Challenge" thread for everyone who posts on the 50+ site. Few folks join up.

Last week, one of the ladies on the Golden Girls thread asked "why?"

Got me to thinking & I've got some ideas about the April thread.

I'm thinking of calling it an "Accountability Thread" or an "Efforts Thread" insted of a "Challenge Thread." Instead of it being a "contest" with a winner & losers, it would just be a place for everyone to post their intake (calories or points or whatever they are counting) and their output (whatever exercise they are doing).

What do you think about this & do you have any ideas what it should be called?

Oh YEAH . . . Although I have been joining in, just the word "challenge" gives me goosebumps -- I've been using it just as an accountibility thing anyway; but maybe others are being put off by the name, too.

How about a name that indicates a 'sharing' kind of thing. Maybe "Sharing Our Progress" or "The Daily Sharing Circle" or "Step by Step for the month of April".

Hi Linda,

I like your ideas. What do you think of "Sharing Our Ups and Downs"?

This way, folks might not feel like they need to drop out if they have a bad day.

I like all those potential names except perhaps for "efforts thread" ...that sounds kinda like work....maybe it's just me though:D

There's just a little something about "Sharing our Ups and Downs" that bothers me . . . :lol: . . . I think its the "Ups" part. We know they happen, but having it in the title . . . :no:.

How about just "Our Daily Accounting" - April . In other words, let's just tell it like it is. Hey that would almost make another candidate for a title -- "Tell It Like It Is" -- April. :dunno:

I like "Our Daily Accounting." What does everyone else think? Anyone interested in joining for April?

Lynn

Me . . . but I bet you figured that out already . . . :lol:

Sure I will join.

me,too...karen3

Count me in! I won't be back from spring break until the 5th, but I will join in then :)
Great idea Lynn!

Sure
 

Sure, I'll join It will keep me on my toes. :carrot:

Okay . . . I set up my page in the April Accountability Thread and made it a Sticky . . . how about the rest of you? Go take a look at Lynn's Introduction and then set up your page. See you over there, Chickies.

Since I signed up I have done my exercises on every appointed day and stuck to my ******** diet. Haven't cheated yet. I lost 2 pounds and a couple of inches. I can wear a size 13 now! Haven't been able to do that for a while. :D
