    Hello everyone!! :) I am thrilled to be one of the captains of team Mission Slimpossibles! I have been a member of the group for over a year now and truly believe that it's the support, encouragement, and accountability that has been key to helping me as I get fit and healthy. Or should I say go from fat to fit! ;) Tess was a fabulous captain and I am so grateful to her as well as many others in the group and I promise to do my best to fill her sho, which won't be easy!!

    I am in the midst of a move from one home to the other so will be in and out for the next week or so, but I will do my best to check in every day. I sent Liselyn an email and I look forward to learning all I need to know. As well as getting to know all of you. :)

    Congrats Greg! I know you will be a great leader for all our groups! :)

    Big shout out to having another Georgia Girl in leadership!!!

    Yay for another that says y’all, yonder, knows how far “just a little piece” is, and uses a buggy to carry her groceries 🤣🤣

    Give me a minute and I’ll come up with more southern expressions 😊

    Lots o' news - and I join in the biggest possible hugs flying Mari's way. I have learned SO much from her as I became a new moderator a few months ago. Everything we work with every day - the teams, the spreadsheets, the general character of this whole challenge - is her design, and bears her great style of both collaboration and challenge. <3<3<3<3

    And of course, Greg, Becky, and Steve keep me laughing and enjoying both the discipline and the fun of these teams. All the Captains are amazing for having stepped forward to deal with numbers, nagging, and keeping people on their teams encouraged and informed.

    It's a major lovefest we've got going here --- B)

    Well, bless your heart for making me feel right at home! :D I'm also happy to have another Georgia girl that I can get to know. I sure hope y'all can handle twice the sass that will now be injected into this group! :p
    Gooooooo Dawgs!! B)

    It seems that captains have been removed as leaders. I can't create an announcement for the week two group challenge. If this was an intentional I can post in individual team threads.

    oooooooops. I'll put you back as leaders! We were just cleaning up the list because only the first few appear and lots of people were not showing on the home page. We made it just moderators, but I did not know this also means you can't do announcements! I'll fix it right away.

    @jugar Please remove the NWI from Trimstones Arc130. She emailed me earlier this week that she would be out of town (at her farm) with no access and when she gets home later today would send in her weight report. I guess she'd be a LWI, but definitely excused. Let me know. Jessica

    Thanks! I did go with the team challenge as the group challenge. We've referenced thinkmindfully.com in the past but it's been a while and I wanted to highlight it again.

    A few changes on Shrinking Assets.

    Linda is dealing with some health issues and has stepped down as Captain. I will be moving back into that position.

    Hi Everyone

    Just a quick Update - started physical therapy, the knee hurts like hell... PT thinks I tore the meniscus and disagrees with the ortho doc, they want me to push them to look further. In anycase, the knee is a whole bunch worst and the pain is easy a 7-8 out of 10.

    Oh NO! That happened to me around 7 years ago, and it is ridiculously painful. Work hard with your physio and then a trainer afterwards if you can - it makes a huge difference, and you may be better off with that than anything a surgeon would propose. But yikes - keep ice going, and let us know how you're doing, ok?

    Already have the call in to the doc - want the MRI to confirm the dx., anyway - had PT this morning, knee hurts, but at least it's one more visit of PT under my belt... Small steps!

    Question for Trimstones @jessicakrall8 and @mulecanter -

    Do you want me to move SaraMakingChanges to Saturday on the spreadsheet? She posted as a Saturday WI but is listed as Monday on the sheet.

    @jugar She sent me a private message asking me to move her from Saturday to Monday after this weigh in...the Saturday weigh ins aren't working for her, so I just moved her and was careful to check all the formulas and formatting to make sure it all matched. I work in Excel all day at work, so I'm very familiar with it. Hope that was ok?

    No problem - it all looks good. Excel all day qualifies you for sure!

    @jugar Please remove MARNIsw from team Trimstones and put her in the cheer squad. She is taking a break due to a death in her family and will return later, once she's able to focus again. Thanks, Jessica
