I haven't started one on here yet, but have been reading other's. Trying to get an idea of what helps everyone, and what is acceptable to write in them on here. I am wanting to know if anyone knows how to get ahold of others on here to help them since reading one in particular. It was written by Wilderness. Does anyone have any ideas to help?

you can write anything you want in your journals.

you have 3 options when posting in your journal, you can leave them open to everyone, you lock them so only those on your friends list can see them, or you can lock them so that you are the only one can see them.

    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...
