Welcome to Gaia! ::

hehe, Aeren, you beat me to the punch! I joined up last year. I also get their newsletter. the body challenge newsletters are very fun and informative to read. I only participated in the body challenge through the internet though.

hhmm.. I can't say it helped me too much. Some of the factors, however, was that I didn't depend on the program much to do results. I used the program as a tool, muchlike the fitday.com website. Since I participated only online, I didn't get any freebie stuff except what was on the internet. The parts that DID help last year, however, was that the site has insightful information and newsletters delivered to my email address. Being a part of the program can be beneficial to help remind you of your goals.

I'd say... joining it is better than nothing ^_^

You mean http://www.myvirtualmodel.com/mvmhome/jsp/home.jsp? kind of virtual model?

Anyway, today I joined up for the national body challenge thingee.

I signed up for ediets.com's free membership that will expire in mid march.

I was tempted to get the free Balley Fitness Trial membership pass, but I do not trust Balleys. I once had a 2 week pass there... and remembered being badgered by the personal trainers often, as well as pressure to sign up for a membership. and the word "trial membership" sounds fishy because it implies that you're gonna get a membership later one. "free", on the other hand, would sound very nice. 4laugh But don't let my comments deter any of you from your fitness goals as you see fit.
