edited September 18 in Motivation and Support
If anyone is interested, there is a nationwide fitness challenge that begins on March 20 and goes until May 15, 2008. It is free and for all ages. You can choose your activity level and make goals from there. If you are really active you can "compete" with others of the same level. It's just one more way to motivate yourself, and I believe you can participate as an individual, family, school, company, etc.
Maybe we should all join as the MFP Gang!!

    This looks like a fun challenge. It seems to be a bit involved to set up a good group. (I haven't had a chance toread all of the info yet )

    But I am willing to start a group if there are 5 or more interested. Group names anyone?
  • I just finished signing up. I could always use another goal to help me be motivated. Thanks, HH

    It would be fun to do it as a group, so count me in if someone decides to start one.

    Setting up a group isn't too complicated, but let's see how many are interested. There is one group administrator who sets it up and then posts the group id number for everyone else. I don't know how much personal information the administrator has access to.

    Seems like people may have too many other things going on right now. Guess we can do the challenge individually. Have fun!

    It took me a while too. But when you sign up as an individual you have the option to put down a group to join and youjust put the group name and the number in there and it'll put you in the group!

    I did the same thing. On here (above) it is listed Group Name and then Group ID. On the fitness site it is the other way around. You enter Group ID first and then Group name... Hope that helps!

    I signed up under MFP Gang yesterday and went to sign in today it was a hassle . Wouldn't except the name or id number or my email address. So I gave up. :grumble: Anyone else having trouble?

    I'm going to sign up too. I was doing pretty well, but slowly I've found it easier and easier to put off the workouts and 'forget' to track the food. Hopefully this will help get me back on track.
