I wrote my email incorrectly:/
If you just refresh the page and sign up again with the right email, everything should be fine.
This is perfectly timed, I have struggled for quite a while. I cannot wait to get into the routine and focus on this program. I created an environment where I was bombarded with every healthy tip and I could not follow any of them as I was overwhelmed. This one is it!
I signed up but did not receive an email.
Should be fixed now. Let us know if you still didn’t get an email.
Not sure if I already signed up
You did :-). You should have received a welcome email. Let us know if you didn’t get it.
Thank you for allowing me to attend your Diabetes challenge.
Thanks
I signed up as well and have not received an email either.
It looks like the email was sent. Can you check your spam folder, please?
Did I already sign up for this? I thought I did but haven’t received anything
You did sign up but I think you missed a letter in your email address. I have updated it in our system and you should receive a welcome email soon.
