Natasha W traineo Newbie Posts: 14 Natasha W This member has no personal statement yet!	# Posted: 12 Oct 2007 21:20 I'm a bit embarassed to be asking such a simple question, I know I have to be missing something obvious, but how do I actually add a motivator? I have already contacted people, who have accepted my request, so how do I now offically make them a motivator? Do I go to "Add external contacts" and enter their personal email? I'm sorry but I have spent an inordinant amount of time on this and when I click on "see my motivators", it still says I haven't chosen anyone yet. I have read the FAQ many times. I can't imagine it is that hard, I just have to be overlooking something simple. Please help!

This is where I'm confused. When I click on the button that says "ask this person to be your motivator" basically it sends them an email message and then they can accept or reject. Then I get an email back that says they've accepted, at which point I would either expect them to automatically be added as my motivator or to have a button (aside from the contact button, which seems to be the only option) that I can click to add them to my list of motivators. However, I still don't have anyone listed as a motivator. They've accepted my "invitation", now what do I do?

Sorry I can't be of more help--this is perhaps a job for the Traineo Team.
Jeff West Fitness Guru Posts: 237 Jeff West Hi! I'm a 44 year-old slightly overweight male looking to loose 30lbs by the end of year. For me, weight loss is just one part of an overall plan for living a healthier lifestyle (as healthy a lifestyle as possible!) In addition to diet and exercise, other elements of my healthy way of life include good sleep, proper hydration, kicking the (smoking) habit, meditation, and disease management (I have rheumatoid arthritis). I signed up at Traineo because maintaining routines has always been difficult for me. 3 years ago however, after many tries, I was finally able to maintain an exercise routine for a period of 6 months with outstanding results. I then stopped working out so I'd have more time for other things and 3 months later the RA got worse. Since then I've been unable to motivate myself back into the gym. Well, my motivation is back, due in part to Traineo. I think having a few motivators will be a great help. Also, posting my efforts on the Internet, for the whole world to see, may help to keep me on my toes. I'm not entirely sure about that yet so I may change my profile so only Traineo members can see it. I'm strong willed, but most of all I crave the results I achieved 3 years ago. So I'm determined, and thus far my spirits remain high. I sure am glad you stopped to read about me and great luck with your own efforts! Cheers!	# Posted: 12 Oct 2007 22:54 Damn Gremlins. I had a problem setting up one motivator; we were emailing each other in the middle of setting the motivator thing up, and I think we confused the traneo system. It evenutally went through, kind of like it had a mind of its own. Maybe try sending the person another motivator request???
