    I think that's a good idea -- BUT -- I know I will be out of touch for a week in Oct. and how about people in hospital, etc.

    Mim

    or is it only that you can't win if you don't sign in ??

    to answer your questions:
    1) I would think if you post you will be out for a designated time it would be allowed but that is up to the group and
    2) this requirement is JUST FOR WINNING THE FQ.

    I love our group but we don't have the benefit of full participation. We need the experience, strength and participation of at least 1/2 the members to really get our momentum going. When only 10-15% participate that leaves us with a limping cheerleading, idea busting section.

    Absolutely -- if you want to win, you should participate -- play to win.!! I'll be happy just to be in the 5 pound club

    Mim -- Thanks for clarifying --

    It makes sense to me that all of us who sign up should participate. Especially with the holidays around the corner, we all need as much cheerleading as we can get. LOL

    WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?

    I would like your discussion on this issue, either in PM or on the thread.

    MJ
    I am okay with this. I would mention that some don't actually feel comfortable chatting because they don't get response when they do chat. Soooo if you see someone post it may help to chat back; just sayin'.

    Anytime I see a post, I check it out. I think active participation does help with achieving a goal with the good spirit of the group. I am in it along with the other weight watcher group for the good of the whole.
