  • @beckyr06 You've been in my corner offering up many words of encouragement throughout the summer/autumn months, and I can't thank you enough. As an added motivation for me, I don't want the stress of ever having to do this all over again. I'm hoping you can somewhat easily find your way to getting back on the wagon. You…

As for the challenge dates, I thought the challenges would start/end on the same DOW. For example, we started on a Sunday and 1 week later would be a Sunday. So I was thinking this challenge would…

  • Lory - I was also referring to 'I was still posting on the original message board'. I was unaware that this group existed until Amy pointed it out on that board. No harm - no foul And everyone has challenges. I didn't mean to upset you - sorry about the confusion.

  • Thank you Amy for pointing me here. I was wondering where Lory had gone off to after starting the challenge, and the number of participants reporting kept declining. And I agree with both of you - motivation to get started moving is the hardest part of this, made even harder when I don't get home from work until almost…
