    Partial progress on the Friending thing ... someone must have sent me a Friend Request, because there is now a little "4" beside the head&shoulders icon on my Home tab (thank you, whoever you are) . But when I click on it, that webpage STILL doesn't open. Sometimes it gives up, sometime it says "System administrators have been notified of the problem".

    Do I have to make sure something is checked off in my settings somewhere?

    OK - HOW do I add a Friend from this group? The process seems to have changed while I was inactive for several years ....

    I'm on my phone app but, click on their user name, bring up profile, click on person icon, it'll prompt to send message (I don't think you have to write anything but I just put I'm also on this challenge and add my profile name) then click on the send arrow. Another way is to go under "friends" and search them using their user name. And add friend

    Thanks, JuliBGoolee. Watch for a message and a Friend request from me.

    Can whoever else sent me a Friend request also send me an email? Then I will know who to try and Friend Request back if my settings don't eventually correct themselves so that I can see and accept incoming.

    Me too! I'm in. I think I need some motivation and accountability to get back on track.
    CW: 154lbs
    GW: 130lbs
    Target for 20th May: 150lb

    We can do this.

    I see many people posting "I need some motivation" or variations. Do you know the difference between motivation and dedication? (I got the following from a fitness poster I saw once upon a time)

    "Motivation is when you do what you have to do because you want to.
    Dedication is when you do what you have to do even when you don't want to."

    When Motivation is low, stick with Dedication.

    Dedication gets you through plateaus and other personal challenges until measurable, visible progress re-appears (seemingly by magic, but really because it just finally reached critical mass), and perks up your Motivation.

    Yes I 100% agree! I know I just wrote that I need motivation but what I really need is dedication.

    It was me! I tried again. Let me know if you get my msg and friend request. Not completely sure how it works on different devices. Hopefully we can figure it out lol

    Thanks, karenesg. I now see a 5 beside the head&shoulders, but no emails. And still can't open. I am strictly pc-access. I will try sending YOU a friend request and see what happens. Let me know if it gets through.

    My mom is getting remarried in about a year and I need to go down a size before her wedding. I'm a little down from 170 lbs.
    I probably won't do daily check-in's but I'll be on here at least once a week.

    Height: 5'2"
    Weight: 166 lbs. (last I was on a scale a couple weeks ago)
    Body Fat: 35%
