    1 DAY TO GO!  Make sure to select a few action items before the start of the challenge.  You can also select the actions you already do to get 1 point.  Do it once and you are done.  Remember some challenges are one-time and others are daily so try to keep a good balance.    Responses to this post, or posting a new message to the team will also yield some points!   Finally, friends and family are encouraged to participate on the team.  the more the merrier!
