I agree. Sometimes it says
"chat" in the right hand upper corner, when someone is on line. I have clicked on it, but am not clear how to use it.

I think a chat room would be great. I am not sure how to start one but would help if we could get on together.

Your welcome to use mine. I posted the website address in my earlier post. It's a family forum site. You might like to try it.

I am completely ignorant about this type of thing. How would we do it Susie? I mean so that we know we are chatting with each other (daily strenth members)on your forum.

I have tried using the chat room - a chat room does exist here, but perhaps I was too impatient to wait long enough for a response. Perhaps going to the "help" page and asking about the chat room there may help.

Whoops! I just tried using my chat room on my message board and guess what....it's not working! I went to the website that hosts my board (which I pay for) and left a message...let's see if they answer.

Sorry, boy is my face red!

ok heres what I have learned so far...the chat link on this site works more like an Instant message...only two people can chat at a time. I am talking to friends that may be able to tell me how I can start a room that is not only for aol...I think perhaps AIM can be used. otherwise only people on aol will be able to participate. If any of you are familiar with this issue please let me know! thank you

I do know someone who would be able to set this up is anyone is interested. She said she could do it through yahoo, all we need to chat away is the key to get in the room.
Whataya think? we can do this!!

I think it sounds great. It is too bad we cannot do it within daliy strength itself, but oh well. Maybe we could post the key for the Yahoo site on the discussion board or something. We could also tell newbies about it when we send them hugs welcoming them to daily strength.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
