Hello!
I have volunteered to host the July 2017 challenge. These challenges started May 2016 by yours truly and have been running every month since. People from all over the world have benefited enormously from the generous and invaluable support given each day from our global community. There is always someone close by to offer advice, support, laugh or cry with you. We have members who since joining these challenges have reached their goal and are maintaining. I am so grateful to them for remaining on these challenges to offer support to those still on their own journey to fulfill a dream.
A previous host developed a spreadsheet on which monthly members are added and progress tracked on a daily basis. The regular accountability is a huge motivation – much like attending a regular slimming club, you check yourself in and the best bit is, unlike a slimming club, its free. It was adapted so that every member can update their own details. You do not have to use the spreadsheet of course. I will (she says hopefully) provide the spreadsheet link in due course.
The way this forum works is to start your post with the following details:
Day – ie. July 1st = Day 1. The day of the month is always the day of the challenge
Country – it’s helpful/interesting for members to know. Put your city/town too if you wish.
What type of day you are following – ie. FD = Fast Day, NFD = Non Fast Day. There are variations such as CD = controlled day but you’ll pick those up as we go along.
My header for July 1st will be: Day 1, UK Co Down , NFD
If you wish, give a quick intro about yourself in your first post or complete your profile – this helps folks get to know each other. This thread is about so much more than weight loss. @pissupoosa summed this up brilliantly:
“You can add any comments/questions/moans/whinges/triumphs… or any thing you feel like you want to share with the rest of the forum. We’ll all have good days and bad days, days we fall off the wagon and days when we hang in there for dear life… so if you want to share it – post it. Recipes, tips, tricks and questions can also be shared – most of us are logged on at one time or another can clarify things, offer advice, support etc when needed – this is the great thing about this global forum, there’s always someone online”
If you sign up and see the month through, a virtual medal will be awarded (don’t get too excited) just for a bit of fun. It is just for 31 days – you can do anything for 31 days and who knows where this may lead?
If you have any questions please ask.
Best wishes Coda x
