What do you ladies think about having a website for the board?  What would you like to see on it?  I am already planning on putting the FAQ's on there, they were awesome!  Would anyone be offended if I copied what was posted?


Let me know what you think!  Any and all ideas will be helpful.

Merry Christmas

I'd really love to see a website. Before and after pictures are a really neat idea.

I think a weightloss tracking chart would be a nice visual tool. It could list everyone's names, how much they want to lose, how much they have lost so far, etc. It could even list how much the person lost in phase one, in phase two, etc, or even list inches lost. There's lots of ways to set it up depending on what everyone would like to see. We could then post our weight loss every week, like on Mondays to keep us from cheating over the weekend :), and the chart could be updated (this takes a little work, but maybe you could recruit some helpers).

Also, a recipe section would be cool. Particularly the recipes that aren't in the book that people have created themselves. The faster the better!!!

What do you think?

Mel, the Fit Over Forty message board has a website; some of the individual member's sites are updated frequently, some not so and are there for info or for practice making one. Each webpage needs to get something like 15 hits a month in order for it to stay "active" in ivillage; apparently, mine wasn't interesting enough to get that many hits (nor did I go and click on it obsessively) because I've been "disappeared". Not complaining, mind you - I made the page, the cl posted it, but I never added anything to it to keep it interesting. Perhaps one day I'll do another.....

You are correct, if an individuals site doesn't get 15 hits a month it will be deleted.

Wow a website sounds GREAT! I'll try to help as much as I can. I have some free time and because of the time zone differences I can work when you guys are probably asleep.

I love the ideas about a success stories, photo album, weightloss tracker, recipes section and I'd also like to add a Fitness section where everyone can share what exercises they like and what works for them. Possibly a Workout Video Review and "Favorite Fitness Website Links".

Besides the website, I know a lot of people here would like a chatroom on this board. Amy (sweetbabyjustin) has been making a room for us in Yahoo Chat! and we've had lots of fun on it.

Thanks for all the great ideas and work,

Angel

Sure I'll help out as much as I can. I'd love to host a chat. Just tell me where and how. Amy (Sweetbabyjustin) has been great about creating a chat room on Yahoo. But I've been surfing around fitness boards on ivillage and notice that they have a chat link on their message board. Is this possible for us too? If you tell me how, I would love to help. We should also post a poll of when the best times and days would be. I live in Japan so your evenings is probably my mornings (which is no problem). And I'm also going on vacation for christmas and may need someone to take over for two weeks. But other than that... I'm your girl. LOL Just let me know what I can do.

Thanks,

Angel
