*I will be part of all the teams, so you guys will see me around often*
Team members have been announced in Team's Standing Sheet
Weigh-in will be open all week, so that you weigh-in as per your weekly schedule and will be closed on Sunday Night (PST), so that I can compile results on Mondays every week.
Here is the weigh in form
All the information & resources on the challenge are available here

The link to daily/weekly challenges logger is here.

I'm not sure if I need to log my steps and/or water intake, but if it will make a difference for our team to win, then I'll do so. On the flip-side, I just checked my calories for the day so far, and I'll be damned if I have reached my limit of fat intake for the day. I haven't even had supper yet!! NOT COOL!!!0 -
Wheres all of my team at0

Whoops missed that one! Sure!
I had 36oz of water today. Missed fat and sodium intake :l I was using a step counter on my phone but it burnt through the battery so I'll have to find another way.0 -

10 cups water. If I could count coffee I would dbl that lo0 -
10,212 (iPhone) steps and 6 glasses of water. Not sure what this counts towards, but here it is.0

Hey guys, good morning
@andywilson6, please read this thread
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10280166/weekly-and-daily-challenges#Item_35
There is a challenge logger available, that can be filled daily or weekly
About the team name you can call yourselves people eaters 
on here. But I can't change it on the sheets for now, i hope you understand
@missyhill99 oh dear, i hope your feet get better soon, you & @AlMonkey can still log your steps, one km is approximately 1000 steps and a mile is 1600 steps approx.
Okay Team,
Day 2-4 - Focus on cutting processed food. and tell us how you managed to?
So i am seeing that you guys are doing great job at communicating.
@chulipa was my one of the best "Sticking till the End" member in the previous challenge. She knows how I & these challenges work. So I am appointing her to be the Purple Team's Mentor. You have any thing that's confusing you. Talk to her and me.
Have you guys added all of your team mates?
One tip! Start posting motivating phrases on your wall like #GoPurpleForce. We are killing this.
Also, encourage everyone on your team. Even if someone takes 5 steps.
So the people who might be hesitating to communicate on here or in person start communicating & supporting.0 -

Which is your focused macro? Just calculate the percentage of it. I shared a link for percentage calculator on the weekly daily challenges thread as well
0 -
Focused macro? Is that just whichever one we want? Is it the one we have set as our highest? Are we choosing it as a team?0
