I am officially out of the challenge before it even starts! but mods, please don't totally jettison my log, just move it where you need to and PM me to tell me where to find it! details in my log
Grrr! I'm trying to practice posting pics and I'm having a helluva time. Jane, I followed your tips, I assume the little yellow box you're talking about is the "Insert Image" icon, yes? When I do that and copy the URL is just shows a bunch of text. I should see the picture there immediately, correct?
Any help is appreciated. At least I figured out how to get an actual avatar!

"As far as (healthy) eating, either do it, or don't. Same issues repeated over and over is just insanity. We either commit to the endeavor or pay lip-service to it. This is the hardest part of the whole process, and it needs to be practiced more than the actual physical training. It's mind training." ~ Matt Thorne

I'm still on the fence ... I could use the accountability too, but I am finding my plate really full and this might add one more thing to give me stress ...
I'll decide by Friday ...

You certainly don't need more stress so it'll be understandable if you don't participate. If it's the one more thing issue could you set up the challenge so it's just documenting what you're already doing rather than adding a new goal? I know you have goals and plans for yourself and you keep a log so a lot of the work for the challenge you're doing already. By joining the challenge you have one more avenue for support also. I know the deadlines can be stressful though and the pics and stats are extra work.
Another option if you're still on the fence come Friday would be start and if it does cause problems with your health/stress then you could withdraw at that time.
Best of luck no matter what you decide. Sorry your plate is full right now.
Jane, I hope you know that if you need help, just ask. I'm pretty much home until Jan 12th, with self-imposed chores, but I can find time. I know there are plenty of other people that would offer help if it's needed.

I second that! I more that happy to help if you need it.
OK, just a reminder that PICS and STATS are due one week from today! All beginning pics and stats need to be posted by midnight EST on January 5.
Beginning posts should contain your starting pics, starting stats, and a synopsis of your intentioned plan and/or goals.
Please only post your starting pics and not any older pics you might have. You can reference any older pics in your personal logs. But, for comparison purposes for this challenge, let's limit it to only our January thru July 2009 pics.
I'll start the beginning pics and stats thread early so feel free to post your pics whenever you want!
I will be cheering you all on! I had previously posted that I was going to participate, but after working on my 2009 goals and really putting a lot of thought into it, I am going to back out of the "official" challenge.

S'okay - Jane and I both just answered you there. The answer is yes, but remember that pictures and stats are due by midnight on Monday (I originally said tomorrow, but that's because I seem to think that it's Sunday for some stupid reason).

Because of all the FOOTBALL on TV maybe? Or because it just feels like Sunday.
D'oh! It works, never mind! I didn't want to clutter the thread with my nonsense, but I guess I have it figured out. Thanks a bunch!
