I’ve received a few PMs that this thread needs to exist and so, voila, it does now! Feel free to use this thread to discuss suggestions for challenges, for fitness questions, to brag about your badass scores, to cry about your pathetic placement in the previous challenge or to enviously decry the uber mofos currently at the top of our leaderboards.

I have a hunch that this thread will proceed slowly. We don’t get credit towards any achievements for posting here, after all.

Um, I forgot I signed up. Guess I start logging time tomorrow. Hell I even invited some friends. I am a bad, bad fitocracy member.

I am just about to go running partly so I can get some points (I’m trying to pass the boyfriend, which is tough because he benches significantly more than I weigh.) I wish they had some sort of levels or classes or something so that we could “compete” on a bit of a more even keel, as opposed to me sneaking out for a run. 🙂

**ShelliBean** , me too. I plan to start working out again, really, but I’ll do it next week.

We can be slobs together.
