    Good Morning Pam, having difficulty with my activity log. When I actually click on the activity and completed the exercise it does not register as to unlocking my activity badge. I have been exercising every other day according to my plan but it shows question marks underneath the badge. What am I not doing right

    Hi Pam, thought you would never hear from me again, huh? Well a lot has happened over these many many months. My weight loss has gone to pot but I am now on my way back. I got rid of all my oversize clothes when I lost 25 plus pounds and now all my smaller clothes are way too tight. I refuse to buy new ones until I have lost my weight that I put on. For the past two weeks I have been exercising and slowing monitoring my eating habits. I need to start somewhere the other will follow. Wanted to tackle the hard part and that is exercising. For me I have to force myself now that I am getting into a routine the other will fall in place. Lost 4 pounds so far!!! How have you been doing since my absence? Thank you for continuing to e-mail me daily. They are always nice to see pop up. It is like a friendly I'm still here waiting for you to return. It is beautiful in PA today enjoy your weekend.

      Pamela Fortner, NASM Elite Trainer Nice to hear from you Donna. Glad to have you rejoin us. Slow and steady wins the race. The most important thing is you are back and getting your routine set up. It is a daily battle, but one well worth the fight. All the tools are here at your fingertips. Let me know if you need anything. Are you on Pintrest? I have a board with exercise routines there. Have a great weekend as well.

      Donna Capelle I know this probably sound very stupid but what is Pintrest? I am not computer savvy just navigating through this site, though easy for some, is difficult. There are quite a few changes since I last logged on.
