Welcome! We're glad to have you with us!
First off, let me just say that it's never too late to join our challenges! We each set our own goals, so if you want to lose 1 pound in the 3 weeks left until Halloween (for example), then that's just fine! We don't really have much of a regular schedule, so it doesn't really matter how you do it. We don't weigh in on the same day (usually) either. It's more just a support group. Our "challenges" are things like the 100-mile Walktober Challenge, and it's not too late to start that either. We also have a Weekly Focus, for those of us who work better on a very short-term basis (this week it's "drink 64 oz. of water a day").
Nevertheless, I would absolutely love to lose 10% by 2005. That's a little more than I'm counting on (about 20 pounds, and I'm counting on 15), but I'll take what I can get.
I will say, however, that I have absolutely no idea how to get those smilies. Are they in the list now? (Can you tell how often I look at the list?
)
Anyway, please feel free to join us on the Halloween Challenge, Part Two thread. We're a great bunch of chicks, and no one will even care that you join late. That just seems to be where the main activity is in this forum. It's sort of the central "chat" thread, and the rest of the forum is details.
Hope to see you there!
