And you can chat as little or as much as you want. You can choose to post to the group as a whole or post individual comments. I change based on time or whether I have anything to add. I think it's important to remember why you joined a check-in too. If I didn't post there I'd neglect my pilates practice even though I love it. I wanted to challenge my strength and the Watulan thread definitely help me get outside my comfort zone. It also helps that both check-ins are also full of lovely people. The vintage and tear off the shrink wrap check-ins both help me use workouts or remember ones I love. I will also say that the conversation in every check-in I'm involved with always leads to learning new things about workouts (modifications, premixes, ways to combine, moves to avoid, etc.) Honestly, who in real life will do that with you?!

I sometimes participate in the Decluttering Support & Motivation check-in but it's very sporadic.
I once popped into the Crone Cronies check-in and they were super friendly and welcoming but I just have too many other online forum commitments right now--a couple other web forums, not VF |

Even though I belong to a check-in, I often don't have the time to respond to everyone personally. Of course, I do feel guilty about that but think that most would understand, so most days of the week I'm logging my workouts and having a check-in to report to keeps me accountable and consistent. Everyone comes from a different situation or place, with people working (some not) and we're all busy.
I have felt intimidated to join a larger or more established check-in, also. Sometimes I've wanted to join a group and discover that there's already another "Pam", so I stay clear. No offense to anyone else, but it's totally on me. And, there might be times when I've been away from exercise (but return to a check-in) and there's never any hard feelings from anyone. People at VF are really great, and sometimes it can be a favorite part of my day!

Some check-ins have very few members, but are quite active. Some of the large ones look a bit overwhelming. I feel like Goldilocks looking for not too big, not too small. Being weird, it is hard to find the right one.
