    Hi @Serendipity0913

    I weighed in today, but next week I am having outpatient procedure and will most likey not be able do a weigh-in on Tuesday due to the nature of the surgery. Could you change me to Friday's and I'll post my weigh-in for next week on Friday?

    Team Gutbusters

    Thank you and have a great day!

    A big part of doing team challenges is the "team" aspect but mine is doing very little interacting with each other. I hope (Run Track Mind) becomes more interactive as the challenge goes on. Maybe, as Serendipity mentioned earlier to another captain, they'll get more involved after the first results are posted? I just feel like I'm the only one commenting on anyone's posts and it's becoming the stm712015 show. :/ I'll try posting some questions this weekend and see if that helps.

    I hope its going well for all of you!

    Always remember....regardless of how many are responding, I can guarantee ALL are reading your posts. The fact that everyone but one has submitted their weekly weigh-in shows they are committed. Your team has AMAZING losses this week, you should be proud! There are a lot of Lurkers, for lack of a better word, that are happy just lurking. Your posts are helping those individuals stay motivated. Great job!! <3

    Thank you @Serendipity0913 for posting the usernames of the ones who hadn't yet weighed in today (including me)! I am still struggling viewing with the darn spreadsheet, except on my phone. I live in a rural area and my cell reception is spotty, so even the phone access isn't always reliable. Hopefully, I can figure this out before next weigh-in finale!

    On a very positive note we had 100% participation on the weigh-ins this week! Stellar!!

    @stm712015 - sorry you've got a bit of a slower team. Ours was a very slow start to begin with, but we've now got a few people posting regularly. Sometimes it just takes one or two, in addition to the captain, to make it feel more engaged. (I'm in another challenge with 25 people and only 2 of us EVER post. Now that's annoying!)

    Thank you both! I've made this week's challenge "team participation", supporting and engaging with one another, and checking in periodically. :smile:

    Challenging them to participate! Now that's brilliant!

    Well... it's been a ghost town this past week. Tumble weeds rolling by as I talk to myself. ;) Thought I might as well bring the subject up, and see if anyone bites. Wish me luck. At least everyone weighed in, which is fantastic!


    I have just a few teammates that check in on a daily basis, and when i say a few i mean 2 or 3 out of 15! The team as a whole usually gets more vocal towards the end of the week! I just post motivational stuff to keep them going and keep it moving!
    I see that no matter how much i would like for them to be a more active team player, some just will not contribute ANYTHING!
    Sooo, i just work with the ones that show their support! My hands are tied!
    Good Luck!

    I still have two people who haven't weighed in for this week. I messaged both of them, but neither has logged onto MFP today. I suspect we might have some drop-outs this week. One of them posted on the newsfeed that she had gained weight this week and was depressed about it, so I'm worried we might lose her. :'(

    I hope we don't lose people. I admire those that report their weight even though they've had a gain. This truly shows their will and want to succeed. Those are the people that will succeed because they're willing to face it and still move forward.

    I have messaged all those that have not submitted. I was able to get two of them. This still leaves 9 that have not reported in.

    Truly, the drop-out rate for this challenge is very low. I've been in other challenges where about 1/3 are gone after the first week! This is a pretty committed group so far!

    I tried to message AussieMark1980 but he appears to gave left MFP as he was unrecognised. Did you have the same problem Serendipity0913.

    I agree @RaeBeeBaby I am not only proud of everyone's success I'm also pleased with their commitment. As I mentioned before, I admire those that report their weight even when it's a gain instead of giving up. True commitment...those are the people that will succeed. :smiley:

    I got that when I tried to message both Nicklang andAussieMark. When I tried again I was successful but can't remember which one it worked for. The fact that Nicklang submitted I'm thinking it was his that went through and not AussieMark.

    Question about the new challenge in May, how are we doing the weigh in days? Do the pick? Or are you picking a day? Thanks for continuing this for another month, :)

    Hi Everyone,

    I was called into work earlier today and had to return home due to not feeling well. I just got home and I'm going to go have a sleep in hopes it does me well.

    In the event I don't get the weekly stats posted later this evening I will do it tomorrow morning. In the meantime, if you go into the spreadsheet you will at least see the winning teams.

    Sorry :neutral:

    Take care of yourself. Get well. We can easily extract the results.

    Any chance one of you ladies would like to be Team Captain for Team Belly Flat in the May Challenge? It's our newest team and consists of all newbies so I'd really like to have someone that has done it before to help get them up and running (no pun intended). All of you have done a fantastic job in April so I thought I'd ask before throwing it out to others.

    I have you as Team Captain for The Fit Bits. Are you looking to Captain 2 teams or was this an error? I don't mind if you do but wanted to be sure.

    I just sent a second message to Die Lard team member sensiblesummer reminding her that Sunday was her weigh in day. I haven't heard anything back from her yet.

    You've done your best. She'll have until 11:59 pm Friday to respond. Otherwise she'll be eliminated. That would be a sin considering she's made it this far. We're almost done

    Hi all. Sorry I've been MIA from the team captain's thread this past week. Between time with family and new preemie granddaughter, then traveling for 5 days with limited internet, it's been a bit hectic. I also gained 3 pounds so I feel bad for my team. Hope to do better in May!
