I'm sorry, Suzanne, but challenges (in this group) where the duration is Six Months from start date (for example), your start date is the day you post. You may back date on challenges that have a set beginning and ending time, like March 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018.

Welcome Suzanne and Krissy!

Okay, sorry about that! I'll fix it. :}
