Awards:

I am unable to see the group awards at this time because there seems to be a problem with the Presidental program code. Go prez! I'll post the updated awards next month, if this is fixed that is. Here is the list from last month, though. And I added my award, since this is the only update I know about now. Sorry about this.

Now how the heck am I still in the list? I haven't exercised in nearly a month. LOL Not since they closed the pool. Walking leaves me in bed with a terrible backache. Waiting to be induced tomorrow, then NO exercise until I heal.

I joined the PC today. This will be a good challenge for me, as I travel a lot for my job and it's sometimes difficult to stay on top of my exercise. This will help me stay accountable.

Almost Heavan,

You're still on the list because you recorded *some* exercise during the month. We only had 10 active participants, so you could have entered 1 point and made it. I'm not removing inactive people because, well, getting into a healthy lifestyle can be a very start and stop process. I know that I tried it a few times before it actually stuck. If someone does it for a while, stops, and then decided to do it again I wanted them to have all their points and stuff available, and not have to go through the log in process again.

This program has actually helped me. Before I started, I thought I was exercising regularly. I really did. But after actually tracking it, and getting stars for it (stars! How quaint! How... 1st Grade.) I found that was rarely actually getting stars. Seems I was good at finding excuses to blow off a day here or there during the week. Didn't seem like it was as often as I was really doing it, though, but the stars don't lie. It caused me to focus on what I was *really* doing, and make some changes. I've gotten full stars for 8 or 9 weeks running now. I don't know that I would be at the activity level I am were it not for this program.

I came across this post and thought it sounded like fun. I already record my stuff on fitday so this isn't any more trouble than that and it gives a little extra push because now I know that others will know what I'm doing (or not doing,lol). So here I go. Wish me luck. And good luck to everyone else out there.

Hey thanks for posting this! I am new to this and I just joined the PC. This should be interesting LOL!

I just joined!! I need a little extra motivation lately! Yeah!

I'm surprised I'm still up there. I've been in and out of commission this past month. It'll be a while till I get that silver, but I'm working at it!

Thanks for posting the PC website. I joined last night to help keep me motivated and challenged. I look forward to tracking my fitness progress and sharing with you all .

Can we get the PC link made a sticky?? I know I will end up forgetting to log my results!!!! I joined today!!!

I guess it couldn't hurt to request that the login be made a sticky. I'll email the 3FC admins. There are already alot of stickies, so I wouldn't be too upset should the answer be "no". We'll see how it goes.

Thanks to IIene for making the sticky happen!

I just joined you all in this challenge. Very cool stuff!

Yippee!! I have a star! I feel like I'm back in kindergarten :dizzy: :lol:

Hi,

I just joined in this challenge, too. I'm really glad it's here. It's helping keep me motivated!
