    Are we going to start a new thread each week this one is getting pretty long already?
    Laurie

    That is a good question Laurie...I say we should put it to a vote:

    Yes - We should have a new thread for each weigh-in week. (New Thread)
    No - We should stick to the same thread until it gets locked and are forced to make a new one. (Same Thread)

    Lets keep in mind that we have A LOT of members in this group.


    Of course there are always pros and cons. So I'll just name the top two that immediately pop into my head:

    New Thread - people might not find the new thread and could have problems staying connected
    Same Thread - you have to go through so many pages and you might miss important information and it could be overwhelming.


    I am open to whatever the group decides. I have done challenges both ways before. PLEASE VOTE RIGHT AWAY...THE MOST POPULAR VOTE WINS. :)

    I vote yes,

    Can always add the new thread to the end of the last one, so can easily find it. Much information will get lost and ?? won't be answered filtering through all of it.. There are alot of members here. Just to add to their topics just type bump if they have nothing else to add at the time Just my two cents worth..

    I personally work 12 and 24 hours shifts and even to get get my food logged somtimes is a job.. Much less to sort throu 15 pages of post to see what I have missed... If this is also for support I think we should be able to find it easily.. Just my thoughts on it..

    By the way, with all my challenges I'm doing, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with everything. It's going to take some time to get used to all these new challenges, hopefully just a week, and then I'll have everything equally sorted and can work on each and every challenge I have. Please, bear with me. I'm a little frazzled right now. :noway:

    I vote no because there are also going to be conversations that may get lost as well if we start new threads.

    I vote YES. I agree with everything bluemagic33 said. It is difficult for me to read through all these pages and find where I left off.

    I vote to keep it one thread. I just wrote "summer" on a post it, by my computer, with the page number that was the last one I read so I know right where to start looking the next time.

    I agree with should start a new thread each week. We could have the name of the thread be "12 Weeks Till Summer Challenge (Week XX)."

    I'm torn... a new thread every week would keep it easier to sort, especially if we are doing mini goal challenges.
    Yet it is easy to find this one!

    Sorry I am NO help!

    it doesnt matter to me which way we do it. I have been adding the page as a favorite on my list as I go. Its pretty easy to see where I left off then when i am done reading again, i add it again and it just replaces it.
