Hello All! Here is our group forum page. To quote JustJenn419 from the previous thread:

"Hellllooooo TOP 10 Miss Fits!!!! I just wanted to share the original Challenge Post for September's Challenge. This will give you information on the actual challenge and more details than we have right now. Make sure you definitely want to be in this because points are based on each and every one of you! If not, make sure to let unlunckyIrish know (or even myself).

    Hello all! Hate to do this but I will be backing out of the Miss Fits :frown: I wanted to give you enough time to find another team member to replace me before the challenges started. If you need to, contact Gary and he will give you a replacement.

    I wish you all the best of luck! See you in September :flowerforyou:

    Hello Ladies!

    Sorry I've been gone for a few days, i just moved to a new city and settling in and waiting for things like internet installation :) We are currently looking for 2 new people so let me know if anyone is still looking. I think September's challenge is going to be awesome! It'll be tough but we will get through it and come out stronger on the other side :)

    I will definitely be here for the challenge. School has been hectic and I have not had time to keep track of anything. I'm going into my second week at school so it should be easier!

    Ladies, I'm a little nervous! It seems as if my emails are not going through to Gary. I've emailed him 4 times (feeling a bit stalkerish there) and he hasn't emailed me back (the emails aren't even indicating that they have been read). I'm not sure what is going on, but I'm nervous we are missing the challenge! If anyone has any ideas/suggestions of what to do, that would be great!

    Yay, an email finally went through. I'm not sure what happened with the others, but we are in. We still need one more teammate however, so please pass the word along!

    Hi everyone! Just thought I'd wish everyone a happy Monday! Anyone got big plans for the week? Hubby is on a trip to Ohio left today. So I get to be a single mom of 3 for the next 4 days. The week is full of errands....girl scouts and soccer practices. I ran/walked 8.5 miles yesterday and my body is sore today! My back is really sore but has been on and off the last couple weeks. I think it's time to honestly consider a new mattress as much as I hate to admit it it's 10 yrs old and really needs to be replaced! Hope everyone has a great week!
