New to this forum and wondering where I should post this-- I'm participating in a fitness/fat loss contest at my local YMCA. Want to start a thread where I can keep track of my daily/weekly progress & ask others to join in. Not really thinking about keeping a blog, is there another option for this?

Also, is there a category to find online weight loss/exercise buddies?

Congrats on the contest, what a fun way to get started!

I would suggest a thread in our Support Groups forum at : http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/support-groups-122/ Scroll down till you reach the threads, and you can create a new thread with all the details.

There is a subforum for challenges if that fits the description of your goal better, assuming there's a date it ends? A challenge usually has a time frame involved so that's something else to consider.

Good luck!
