Hi Team Captains!
I have your first task!
You may have noticed I added a column to our spreadsheet titled "Weigh-in Day". I thought this may make it easier for you in knowing who we're still waiting on to get weigh-ins on a weekly basis. That way if we have someone that does their weigh-ins on a Sunday for instance and by Wednesday they still have submitted we'll have a few days to get them back on track before the end of the week.
If you could reach out to your team members and get their weigh-in days that would be fantastic.0 -

@Serendipity0913 - you are quick! I was just going through our team thread and comparing to the results spreadsheet for weigh-in days and magically, the declared ones are already there!
I'm concerned that over half our team has not checked in on the team thread. I sent each of them a friend request, let them know that they need to check in and post their starting weight by Friday.

lol I was working in tandem with you
I'm a little concerned too which is why I wanted to know people's weigh-in days. Your team was one of the original teams so it started to form 2 weeks ago. As you know a lot can happen in 2 weeks so I'm thinking we may lose a few people.
Don't worry though, I have at least 100 people on the waiting list that want to join so you will have a full team regardless.
Your team needs at least two good contributors. Once you have that more people tend to start chiming in and the momentum builds. I was excited to place you on that team because based on your # of posts (1,699) I knew you would be a good contributor which would result in people coming out of hiding.
I have a feeling your team dynamics will change over the coming days.
Thanks for all your help!

I'm sure we'll have some good contributors. So, once we figure out who's really participating will "wait listers" be added for just the first week, or throughout the entire challenge? In other words, will there be a cut-off point?0 -
Hi Team Captains,
I have entered the days for those that have already submitted their weights. I did have someone re-submit this morning so we may want to double check that what I have is going to be their on-going days.0 -

I'll wait until Saturday and then will fill the holes with the wait listers. As far as future drop offs I'm thinking we'll keep our teams going as is. Because the challenge is short (a month) and we're going by % instead of total pounds we'll still be able to move forward without any impact. The teams are fairly large too so if a team does lose a person or two there's still a good size team.
What do you guys think?

I agree with the point about losing a couple. I really hope we don't lose ANYONE but no biggy if we do!
Tomorrow I'm going to spend my morning at the Ford dealer having my car worked on. So I send out a friendly reminder about weigh ins again,
Weigh in days:

@Serendipity0913 - The new column makes it much easier to keep up with when to expect our team members to weigh in. Thanks.
I will message the members that have not weighed in yet when I get to my office.0 -

Sounds good. Here's a couple updates on weigh-in day for Dude team:
@Gustaaf85 - change from Tue to Thu (Thu is his regular day, he just weighed Tue for the start up)
@cynbet69 - Fri
I'm still waiting for about 6 people to report in.0 -
Is it OK if we propose mini-challenges within our group? For example, one week everyone commit to 30 mins of exercise 5 days or drink 64+ oz of water each day. (I've suggested this in other groups and got the nix, so wanted to make sure that's OK for this challenge.)0

Glad you like it. I thought it would be useful for you. I think it adds another element of accountability too. If everyone knows you're weigh-in day they'll be looking for it. 0 -
Hello Everyone! I am the Team Captain for Team Withering A Weigh. I'm excited to see everyone's success. I almost have everyone on the team respond to the friend request so it'll be easier to comment and like their status'.
@Serendipity0913 did you want us to get the days of the week everyone on the team plans on weighing in and then let you know and you'll be entering all those??? Thank you for the amount of time and effort you have put into organizing this already by the way.0 -
Hello everyone! I'm the captain for Team Gutbusters! I am so exciting for everyone! I know we will ALL be successful in this. I am sending out friend requests for everyone on my team, I will check back once I have heard from everyone. Good luck everybody!!0

Howdy! I'm the Team Captain for the awesome Die Lard Team! Several excited members have already checked in. I have sent friend requests to all the team members, and I will follow up with those who have not sent their starting weight. I can't wait to see everyone's success! We can all be winning losers!0

Yayyyy!!!
Our group of Team Captains is complete. Thanks to all of you for stepping up. I'm really excited to get started and even more so to see everyone succeed.
I'll leave it to you guys to manage and support your teams however you'd like. The only part I will continue to do is manage the results spreadsheet. I don't want to seem like a control freak but when I've done challenges in the past and left it open to others to edit formulas, etc were getting deleted by accident so I'd like to continue to maintain that.
I've been trying to update weigh-in days as I've seen them but the thread discussions are multiplying so if I've missed someone I'll look to you guys to let me know. The teams that formed in the last few days all submitted their starting weights. Their actual weigh-in days may need to be edited. For fairness I really would like to see everyone weigh-in on the same day each week so that everyone is being judged on a one week period.
If you have any questions I'm here. Thanks again for your help!

I have replaced Mellyo77. Your new teammate is @1TheQueenB I have put her into the spreadsheet and used the weight she originally submitted. You'll just need to confirm that is still her starting weight and what day she'll be weighing in.
