How do you do summer?? (LTL help - June)

Thanks to those who volunteered for and participated in the May Living The Lifestyle (LTL) threads. If you get and / or share ideas from LTL; if it helps you along the way, please help us out by taking responsibility for posting the LTL question for one of the weekdays each week in the month of June.

Especially if you haven't done this before, I encourage you to participate. Summer can be a challenge with all the parties, BBQs, etc., yet so many opportunities for great activity! What better place to share with and inquire of your fellow GOADies about navigating seasonal challenges?

The template is below. Just indicate your day of choice. I'll neat & tidy the roster up before the 1st.

Thanks in advance.


Everyone says it, but just how do you do it? How do you take the guidelines of the WW program and turn them into a lifestyle you can live every day...from now on? That is what we are here to explore. Each weekday, a new topic is offered up for discussion. Newbie? Join in! Veteran? Join in! Your thoughts may be just what someone else needs to hear.

    do we just pose a question, or are we supposed to give our own examples of how we combat the challenges of parties and BBQs?

    "No takers? Maybe we'll take June off..."

    Taking a month off from LTL could be like taking a month off from mindful eating - - a seeming respite that actually makes it harder to get things going again. Can I get an Amen?!

    I'll take Monday.

    @Tripaway
    What Kim @minimyzeme is doing is trying to get Volunteers for posting LTL topics in June. It up to you how you phrase it, questions, examples or just common issues faced as we Live the Lifestyle ( LTL) Volunteer and make it your own style. I don't think there are any GoaD rules per se, just a daily discussion of whatever the OP wants to bring up.
    We need new blood, give it a shot. Pick a day and add your name. Hope to see your posts.

    Thanks for picking up the slack for me Jim @Jimb376mfp ! ( @Tripaway , I generally only check in on here morning and evening or I would have answered sooner. )

    Kim, @minimyzeme
    Happy to help, don't mean to step on your toes. I'm on here a lot.

    You're doing a great service keeping LTL alive. There are a lot of reasons I check in on GoaDs daily and I appreciate everyone's contributions.

    Unless we get a volunteer to take it, Thursdays in June will be a 'wild card' day; free to anyone who steps up and offers a question or perspective.

    Thanks all.
