I am new and have no idea what each group is or means?  Example: For the workout squadron is that people interested in working out and challenging that way? Do they compete within that group? Or do all the groups compete with one another? Example: Do the healthy habit makers compete with the meal group? I'd like to pick one that I feel will not only be motivating but, fits something I feel led to go for. I have been in a area driven biggest loser and took first place and my husband 3rd so I like to have goals and finish line markers. I kept the weight off from the BL competition until my best friend passed away. I fell out of my healthy life style and rituals and now here I am trying to find my way back. So, if anyone can tell me about how I pick a group? If we all compete against other groups or if we compete or work within the group? Let me know so I can join. I just found out about this today and I'd like to beat the deadline of November 13th. If I don't respond here because I don't know how to get my messages... I'll try to find the group and check this message. I'm still learning.

Hi, Shawna! 

The Wake-Up Call Challenge is nearing it's end, I think.  The way it works is that each week we have an assignment, and we work on it, posting our results/progress/thoughts in the team discussion.  It's an individual competition, but by having a team, you have a built in group of people to discuss with and bounce ideas off of.  There is a weekly winner, based on how well the "judges" decide everyone does on the assignment.  And when the entire challenge is over, I think there is one overall winner and one runner-up.  The team names are just for fun, although people usually do pick the one that they match best with.

So even though this challenge is almost over, I'm telling you all of this because I think there will be another one starting up soon.  And it will probably be similar.  One of the Admins will let us all know when another one is starting - they usually post a notice on all of the other message boards.

I think November 13th may be the last day of this challenge.  I believe you would have needed to sign up before week 1, so you'll be ready to go for the next one!  But feel free to poke around the ifferent group message boards and get a feel.  It's often the same folks who participate in the challenges, so you'll see some familar faces!

Welcome!
