Are you a Challenge dropout? (or slacker)

[MrJohnsonsRib]

It's okay just get back on that horse and win your race! I nkow I was supposed ot be in the Short Haired Ladies to APL and I done went and chopped off my hair but it was to get rid of the bad relaxed ends. I plan to get right back at it. I do. I just can do it with a fresh palette now instead of all that extr mess. Don't give up keep going and if you're slacking just figure out why and try to get over htat hump. We are all here in need and in help too. So just some encouragement to boost your motivation. I know I could use all the encourgement I can get.

It's so great to be back. I don't know where I've been these past few weeks. I used to stay on my LHCF grind. Hmm well I'm off to look at some picture heavy threads...wanna join me?

 

[mscocoface]

Guilty?!!??! I throw myself at the mercy of the court.

I must say in my defense some of the challenges I have kept and are keeping now.

 

[Lylddlebit]

I have been...but I'm in recovery . A couple of weeks ago I realized that I was joining some challenges because I wanted the results and none of the work. In the challenge I am in now I am actually more serious about using the methods more so than wanting to see progress. My hair is a length that it has been before with me doing it my way. So I am going to actually try new methods in opposed to quick fixes(growth aids) that keep my hair were it is when I do nothing extra to it.

 

[Kerryann]

hell yeah im a dropout but what the heck im in a new one 2 months hide the lenght and stuff it started monday and im not doing bad lol its only 3 days

 

[HeChangedMyName]

I am both, and lazy too. I want results NOW and if I don't see them, I fall off. shame

 

[Simply_Kelz]

I am. But that's just because I don't like the forced committment. As long as I don't speak or write it, and just DO it, I'm fine.

 

[MRJ1972]

yeaaah, i guess that would be me

 

[Denise11]

Yep! Every challenge I've been in, I've dropped out. Lol. I keep getting in no buy challenges, when I know I'm a pj struggling in pj rehab.

 

[Stepiphanie]

I'm a just do it type girl. I'm not a slacker but I rarely do updates, only at the beginning and end.I keep track of it on my own until then.

 

[LoveLiLi]

I'm very forgetful and sometimes I see a challenge and think to myself "That sounds vaguely familiar, am I in that?"

I really do forget as soon as the thread is knocked back a few pages and the whole ordeal becomes a distant memory .

 

[DarkHair]

I'm in one that lasts til December. Wait, I'm in the SL to APL and the SL to BSL. I just relaxed and I guess I'm a little bit of APL. My goal is BSL though.

 

[DaPPeR]

Yes...the only challenge I'm committed to is APL before December 09. All others

 

[LaidBak]

I dropped out of the MT/OCT challenge. But I still use the stuff on occasion. It was tearing my hair up before, but now I know how to best make use of it.

 

[Daisimae]

I'm trying not to be a slacker. I picked easy challenges. I already love and use PC. Mixing it in my DC every week is a no-brainer and I love the results.

As far a hiding my goes, no one but my DH and my sister have seen my hair in over two years. I just have to keep it up.

 

[newflowers]

I used to be a challenge slacker and drop out, but now I stay on the ball on every challenge I join - of course, I only join the ones for things I'm already doing

 

[Itllbeokbaby]

i'm a slacker....i forget about every challenge until i post and read my siggy....then i just smh, and try not to feel the guilt lol.

 

[joytimes10]

I'm 50/50... I've joined 2 challenges that I really needed, DC challenge and healthy end challenge. I've failed miserably at DC as much as I need to (1x/wk is not cutting it). I try to make up w/ cowashes but we all know that just a bandaid. The healthy ends I'm really making a good effort. But I never go to the thread to update. So, I'm a slacker, but not a dropout, ......yet

 

[lilsparkle825]

It depends -- I failed at the DC challenge because I cowash so much, and I think I used too many passes in bootcamp. I did a one month no buy and passed with flying colors -- ended up not buying anything for 3 or 4 months, and when I did buy something it was a bottle of cheapie conditioner. Oh, and of course the cowash challenge, which is the basis of my regimen anyway.

 

[SelfStyled]

I am a slacker in the worst way! I try to keep up, but life seems to get in the way. Or I actually do what I am supposed to do, but don't update the thread. I just can't seem to get it right.

 

[msa]

I've only joined and dropped out of one challenge.

I'm in two challenges now (APL by Dec, HYH until Dec) and I *think* I'll be able to stick with them. I wear wigs anyway so hiding my hair shouldn't be hard.

After seeing some progress threads over the last few weeks I'm much more committed to my own progress. Hopefully, that's enough to sustain me for the next 6 months.

 

[Desarae]

I plead the 5th...

 

[MrJohnsonsRib]

Sounds like a move I would do myself. lol! I mean why not get "credit" for what you already got down pat right? lol!

 

[HauteHairGurl]

I am both and am not proud of it. Ever since I BC'ed, I've been trying to get used to my hair and trying to figure it out. It seems to hate EVERYTHING except for this Motions Clear Hairdressing I found and Amla oil (I'm supposed to be in the 6 month Ayurveda challenge and am too shamed to even crawl back and post). I'm just fed up with my hair at this point bc I'm SO IMPATIENT and am easily discourage when I don't see results or my hair doesn't look right on a daily basis. Idk what to do at this point but thanks for making this post, it's a little push for me in the right direction.

You are not the only one. I feel the exact same as you. I get that feeling that "if its not one thing its another"....and my hair is just all over the place. Plus being a PJ trying to right her wrongs its tough. I'm still using product under the cabinet...I told myself no more product til you use what you got....*BIG SIGH*...I think over the past few months I've only paid for the Silk Elements Shampoo and Condish which was on sale for like $1.99 a piece...so I couldn't pass on that. Other than that I been squirtin away the stuff at home. I have no choice now cause money is not budgeted for my PJism. erplexed

 

[luvn_life]

Yep big time...

 

[MummysGirl]

I'm ashamed I slacked - Porosity control challenge! Completely forgot about it :-( I'll get back on it.

 

[Aggie]

Typically I am not a challenge drop out. I check into and post in all the challenges I've joined but I think that next year, I'm going to join maybe 2 or 3 challenges at best and no that's it - "Hide yor Hair" challenge is the only one I can think of that I will join for next year because I am transitioning to texlaxed hair. I don't want anyone seeing it until I get it where I want it to be which will probably be at the end of 2010 or the middle of 2011, IDK for sure just yet.

This year, I joined wayyy too many challenges and the email notifications fill up my email box like you wouldn't believe and I have to sit sometimes for hours cleaning it all up. I will not be putting myself through this next year.

 

[Aviah]

And to think I wanted to flat iron so bad after CREATING the 6 month no heat challenge

 

[Keen]

For the most part I'm a sticker. But I was "dropped" from a challenge on the health/fitness section. I wasn't even notified...

 

[hairedity]

hee-hee-hee This sounds like me!
