    Looking at out team stats, it looks like some of you have not checked in since registering. We encourage you to go into your page, review the actions you chose to do, and indicate what progress you are making. Many of the actions are things you do every day so you can track your progress daily. We are one week into the 3-week Challenge so let’s see where we are.

    One of the actions I chose was to watch a food documentary. Anyone recommend one they really love that I could recommend in the weekly articles we are sharing?

    We have 18 members on our team. I was hoping for more interest so whatever we can do to recruit more folks would be good. If you can post something on your personal Facebook page, we might gather some more people.
