Hi there all. I have a tendancy to be a bit sneeky and ignore any 'plans' I have to get in shape. I would like to know if anyone is aware of a way to start a group so we can all email one another reminders etc.?

Thanks

Oh that's a great idea! Mostly because I am brand new and happy to get lazy or let go of plans I make also...

I don't know of anything. I would suggest just finding a few buddies to IM with.

yeah, i also think it would be better to instant message people that would want to join you with sending reminders and cheers that keep you in track...

however, remember that it is your responsability to follow your plans, some people could help but you are the one that need to stay focused and motivated :)

Dont forget people, there is a chat room available for you to use , right at the top of the page. I would post in the new person section and the cafe something like " Workout buddies " or " Weekly Support Group " and set a time like 1-2 times a week for newer people to meet and greet in the chat, theres nothing better than to have support through out any lifestyle changes or everyday problems for that matter, be it cyber support or whatever, it helps, ive got my group of friends on here, we chat 1st thing in the am almost every day, a few of them are staff members, great people, i love em like family, so. from the amount of new members signing up ive seen lately, there support be tons of support out there, ummm no pun intended :big_smile:

Let me show you
Sweet smell of a delicate whisper
Behind the vision of gardens
Go and read of your life
Tiny ripping at the heart
Drunk from a rose
