March check-in thread

Hey Challengers! It's March 1st, which means it's time for our second monthly check-in thread. As a reminder, participation in these monthly check-ins is optional, but encouraged. The goal is to help keep you on track, so feel free to post your progress updates here.

How did the month of February treat your finances? Did you hit any potholes or speedbumps? Achieve some milestones, either small or mighty? Change your goals or add new ones?

Let us know how you're doing! What have been your biggest accomplishments and obstacles so far in the myFICO Fitness Challenge for 2013?

I just wanted to stop by and say hello to some old friends. It has been such a long time since I posted (before today that is--kinda went nuts over on Rebuilding). :smileysurprised: I am not sure who is still here from three years ago. Anyway, it's good to see some new leaders stepping up on the forum.

Hey there, and welcome back! We saved a comfy chair for you :)

February check-in thread - how are you doing?

Sarah — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 23:16:58 GMT

Hey Challengers! It's February 1st, which means it's time for our first ever monthly check-in thread! As a reminder, participation in these monthly check-ins is optional, but encouraged.

Think of it as a recurring pitstop on your 2013 financial journey: here's a place for you to pull over, take a quick break, and reflect on the last 30 days. Did you hit any potholes or speedbumps? Find yourself in need of a tune-up? Achieve some goals, either small or mighty? Add a new leg to your journey?

Let us know how you're doing! What have been your biggest accomplishments and obstacles so far in the myFICO Fitness Challenge for 2013?

Hello, testers! I just got word that the test with go out tomorrow, so keep an eye on your inboxes.

I still have room for one more tester, if anyone is interested!

It's great to read about all of your goals and the new participants continue to roll in - welcome!

Just a reminder: we'll be posting our first monthly check-in thread on Friday! Participation is optional, but encouraged - this will give you a place to celebrate little (or big!) financial victories you achieved during the past month, or talk about any setbacks you encountered. It's a great opportunity to self-evaluate your progress and perhaps recharge your motivation!

Need a few Score Watch users for testing

Sarah — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 18:15:10 GMT

Hey folks!

We are testing out some new design changes to the Score Watch interface, and looking for a small group of subscribers to try it out and provide feedback. To qualify, you must be a current Score Watch subscriber and have been using the service for a minimum of one month. Testing time will take approximately 20 minutes, give or take. If you're interested in participating, please send me a PM.

Thanks!

Happy New Year to the myFICO Forums Community!

Can you believe we’re entering our fourth year of the myFICO Fitness Challenge? If you have financial goals for the New Year, the myFICO Fitness Challenge is the place for you!

What’s the myFICO Fitness Challenge?

To take part in the myFICO Fitness Challenge, simply post an introductory note, and state your financial goals for the coming year. Are you hoping to raise your FICO Score? Buy your first home? A new car? Get that coveted rewards card? Tell us about what you hope to achieve, and what reaching those financial goals will mean to you. As the year progresses, check back here to report on your progress, talk about hurdles you encounter, or simply reach out for support and encouragement from your fellow Fitness Challengers.

New this year!

To help you stay on track, we're introducing monthly check-ins for 2013. On the first day of each month, myFICO will post a monthly check-in thread for you to talk about your progress, successes, speedbumps, etc. Participation in these monthly check-ins is optional - but encouraged!

First time Challenger?

If you’re new to the myFICO Fitness Challenge, then welcome! To begin, set up your official myFICO Fitness Challenge logo signature on your Profile page (Go to My Settings=>Personal Profile=>Personal Information). Then just reply to this topic, telling us a little about your financial situation, your goals, and how you plan to achieve them during the coming year.

Returning Challenger?

Welcome back! Please be sure to update your myFICO Fitness Challenge logo signature so it directs to the current challenge. You can also tell us about your results in the 2012 Wrap Up Thread.

Here’s to ALL of us achieving our financial goals in 2013!

Re: That dreaded post-holiday dieting

Actually, what I said was: improving your credit score is much like dieting because you need to have a lot of patience and probably won't see immediate results.

Re: Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge for 2012!

Sarah — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 17:44:15 GMT

Hey folks!

Congrats to everyone who is wrapping up the myFICO Fitness Challenge for 2012. As we gear up for the 2013 Challenge, we at myFICO thought we’d try something new this year and post a wrap up thread for folks to report their successes. So if you'd like to share your milestones and achievements from 2012, head on over here and post away:

myFICO Fitness Challenge 2012 Wrap Up

The new myFICO Fitness Challenge will kick off on January 1st - so get ready to make 2013 the year you achieve your financial goals!
