Unless i completely missed the part you speak about, maybe its posted someplace else? Can you link me to the other rules that indicate what you are talking about? i would rather not start something then have it get pulled disappointing others who have already joined because i missed rules? Thanks!

smiles, i thought the graphic was cute lol and SO true for me when i work out in the mornings! Glad to have you join!

I couldn't find it, either, but it used to be a rule. I am probably remembering it from when I was a moderator. Jimmy Jo won't shut us down as long as there are not several challenges doing the same thing or we don't keep up with the challenge (abandon the challenge). If this challenge was a problem, you would have already heard from her.

Okay, I just found out that Jimmy 48 is no longer the challenge coordinator and anyone can start a challenge. This happened while I was taking a break from the forum. So...we are good to go!

I just completed my cardio before breakfast so I am 1/4 for this week. I have to do strength later in the day.

GOOD LUCK AND WAKE UP FOR EXERCISE!!!!

Most of the challenges are self-reporting--which means that we are responsible for updating our stats. Makes it much easier on you.

Something like this for by-the-week:

Barringtonswifey.. 0/4 days a week
Desihue............... 0/2 days per week
LooksDeceiving.... 0/2 days per week
Marlieben............. 0/4 days a week
nerrakgg9............ 0/3 times a week
Quiltkat................ 0/3 days a week
Slapshot............... 0/4 days per week
SunnySmile501..... 0/4 days a week


As each of us completes a day(s), we copy and paste the last update and change the day count. Since Slapshot and I have reported our first day, it would then look like this:

Barringtonswifey.. 0/4 days a week
Desihue............... 0/2 days per week
LooksDeceiving.... 0/2 days per week
Marlieben............. 0/4 days a week
nerrakgg9............ 0/3 times a week
Quiltkat................ 0/3 days a week
Slapshot............... 1/4 days per week
SunnySmile501..... 1/4 days a week

We could make it for the whole month by changing the pledge to read:

Barringtonswifey.. 0/16 days a month

[looksdeceiving]

Oh cool, okay we can do it that way. Thanks Sunnysmile501 (btw do you go by a shortened version lol of your nick?). I appreciate you looking into all this and helping grins yeah yeah i am a newbie when it comes to this.

If you don't mind can we use your examples, except make it for the whole month and have the week be how everyone is doing that week and the latter part being how everyone is doing for the month? I have edited it -- i am really excited. This way also people can join during the month by just adding their names and days and total days they have for May.

Barringtonswifey.. 0/4 days week 1; 0/16 for May
Desihue............... 0/2 days week 1; 0/8 for May
LooksDeceiving.... 0/2 days week 1; 0/8 for May
Marlieben............. 0/4 days week 1; 0/16 for May
nerrakgg9............ 0/3 times week 1; 0/12 for May
Quiltkat................ 0/3 days week 1; 0/12 for May
Slapshot............... 1/4 days week 1; 1/16 for May
SunnySmile501..... 1/4 days week 1; 1/16 for May

This is for all of us so if someone hates it lol let me know!! Can stay motivated if something is hard or not simple to do.

GREAT JOB btw for Slapshot and SunnySmile501, grins Mondays are just NOT my day to get up to torture erm exercise prior to starting my week lol. But i am really hoping my attitude and enjoyment of exercise goes from being something i MUST do to something i do because i love it. Great motivation you two!!!

I'd rather do it by the month--easier to keep up with that way. My nick is Sunny, on the board and in real life. When people call me Carole, it usually takes me a minute to realize they are talking to me.

Sunny!

Opps closed it instead of editing it:

Hi Sunny, I am going to keep the weekly in there; but you can record whichever is easier for you. I wanted to be focused on working out during the week and add a day every month until i am doing all of my major cardio in the morning as i make too many excuses at the end of the day or work causes me to kurplunk it grins and if i don't pledge for the week and keep track i will save them all up and end up having to do 8 days straight lol and probably not do it then, which is not what i am trying to accomplish with this challenge. But people are welcome to use whichever one is easier.

Way to go Kath!!! You guys are going to totally be my inspiration to succeed at this!!
