How to edit/update posts each day?

Hello,

I saw a challenge group here called "Just Give Me 10 Days" and wanted to give it a go. If you're not familiar with it, you create an initial post with your current weight, goal weight, etc., and then each day you update the original post. For instance,

3/20 - biked 20 miles. consumed 1700 calories. weighed in at 220 lbs.
3/21 - ran 5 miles in the morning. did evening workout at gym. weighed 219 lbs

My question is how do I update my original post each day? I see there's an hour window for edits. Well, that doesn't work if one is updating every 24 hours.

Thanks in advance.

    They aren't actual updates, people just copy-paste their previous post into a new one and then add a line with their update 🙂

    so confused-so if you are on a "give me 10 days" and want to edit your post, you would have copy the original post, add the next weigh-in day, and then paste it into a new "leave a comment section"???

    Yes. You can only edit a post within 1 hour of posting.
