HOW TO CHOOSE A CHALLENGE GROUP

pennyv73

I'm new to MFP and am searching for motivation... I see there are many challenge groups on here, but how do you choose the right one for you??

Hoping for some input to help me decide. I NEED to join one!! I'm very motivated right now but am only on day 3 of my journey. I'm a very competetive person so I know doing this will keep me in check.

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Penny

Thanks Penny, I just sent your friend request

Pick an area you struggle with, like fitness or drinking all your water.. then find other people who are doing a challenge that will help to keep you on track. The fitness message board is a good place to find some challenges to participate in. Pick one and make it a personal goal!

I didn't deliberately set out to find one but saw a thread called 'Twilight fans - get your vamp on by November'. I read through a little and really liked the positive and fun attitude of the group members so asked to join

I would just keep an eye on the 'motivation' section til you see something that appeals to you

depends what youj are looking for. I do one that goes weekly. it has both a food challenge and an exercise challenge each week. But it entirely depends whether youj want one that goes for short term or a longer one, whether you like food and exercise challenges and things like whether you want to be part of a team or individual
