Looking for an easy way to track your weight loss and keep tabs on what you’re eating? Check out these two great tools on SouthBeachDiet.com:



Weight Tracker: Weigh in as often as you like, but we recommend once a week to best track your progress. Simple enter your weight in the Weight Tracker before your meeting and then let other members know your progress!


My Journal: It’s been proven — keeping a food journal or diary as you’re losing weight may be the key to success. Use the My Journal tool as often as you’d like to record what you’ve eaten each day, your thoughts, and feelings as you’re following the New Year's Challenge!


Want information about the Challenge?  Check out the New Year's Challenge Rules!

Shawn;

I plan to participate in the 2010 New Years Challenge for motivational support.  I am wondering if the "My Journal Tool" is a private area for us to share our thoughts or is it a public area that others can see?

Thank you.

Hi,  When you click on the journal at the very bottom is a place to click on to make it private.  Only you can see it then.   
Best of luck in the new year

Hi Shawn, Thanks for the tips.  I was wondering: I think I somehow have accidentally registered a couple times (I changed my email between now and when I registered in December), but I haven't gotten any confirmation emails at either address about the Challenge.  Will we be getting an email as confirmation or weekly reminders as we have in  past years? Thanks! and Happy New Year!

My question, exactly!  I have registered several times because I don't know if it "took"...I am trying to "bookmark"  the place where I can get information and everytime I think that I know how to find New Year's Challenge information it takes about 10 minutes of navigating around in a trial and error fashion before I find things.  Why can't I have a spot that I can click and there it is.  I am terrified that I will miss today's noon meeting that I believe I have signed up for but don't really know!

Good Morning Dixie:  Good to see you here!
Did you get your walk in yet?

I just barely got up in time to see the end of the first Chat/meeting of the NY Challenge.  

Have a Beachy Day!

Hi Bev!   Good to see you here!
I know you had such success a couple of years back.  I'm looking forward to seeing more of you, (and less of you) on this challenge. 

Have you had a chance to get out on snowshoes?  I have that planned for Wednesday morning. 

I'm planning on planning my meals and shopping list for the week, today. Maybe making a pot of Cabbage Patch Soup, too.

Happy New Year!! Happy New Year Challenge too!

Good Morning Richard: 
I noticed that I and many others are having trouble navigating this site. 
Is there somewhere, on the home page that we can go directily to the NY Challenge boards?    and maybe, please, can we have the boards have more specific titles??
for instance:  Monday Meeting.  Or Week One chat??

I think most of my computer usage, knowledge has come from the SBDO site, so I'm really computer illiterate and need things simple and specific.  

Thanks for your Help!

We'll try to make the thread titles very clear for everyone, so they know where to navigate. This week's meeting thread title was "The Official Monday Meeting - Week 1."

I'm not sure if these threads will be linked from the home page, though.

Thanks for the quick reply, it came as a notification on my home email, that you had replied. 

Then I logged onto SBDO, clicked on communities, had to go through a number of other steps hoping to hit the right one to find this thread.  I'm not even sure what steps got me here. 

It is frustrating!  IS there some way to link it under Communities, My Boards.  I've marked this at one of my favorites and still can't find it. 

I appreciate your efforts, just wanted to let you know of our perceived glitches!
Thanks.

And, Kay, I am computer literate and it *still* isn't easy. Good for you for hanging in! It's not intuitive at all. That being said, I *think* I finally got a ticker working even though it's not showing up here. :-)

Glad to hear that others are having trouble with this new site... I spend more time trying to find the site... I do not know why it does not show up in the my boards area of my home page... Also it is confusing trying to get answers.. I wrote a note Yesterday and never did get any answers... Hope this is not a waste of time...as I do want to lose these pounds and can use help....
