    How does this group work? Do we just come in weekly to record our weight? Is there like a FB group that goes along with it?

    Click the link above that says REGISTRATION and it will take you to our MFP page. The home page is where you will read about the group and register. Once registered you will be assigned to a team. There is a thread for your new team where you will weigh in AND where you will check in each day to share how your day was, share encouragement to your teammates and be part of a support system while you are engaging in friendly competition.

    Hope to see you there!

    Ok silly question but I weigh on Tuesdays so do I give my start weight as today's or next Tuesday? X

    Today. You will lose weight until next Tuesday and report that weight as your Week 1 weigh in. That will show your loss for the week.

    @hockeymom225. In the MFP group are threads for each team. You post your weigh in results to your teams thread and the captain addis it to the results spreadsheet.

    Results are published in the groups weekly.

    @Cherok86. You record you weight from this Tuesday and post it to the "AUGUST - NEW MEMBER REGISTRATION / STARTING WEIGHTS" thread in the group. You will be assigned to a team within 24 hours.

    You then record your weight each Tuesday and post it to the team thread (where the captain will transfer it to the results spreadsheet). Results are published weekly.

    Team threads are open for general discussion too (not just weigh ins). This so you can get help and also help your team mates.
