What is the challenge section?
The challenge section is short for the name of the group - F2F Weight Loss Challenege and is the top part of each team tab in the spreadsheet. In short, it means that your weekly weigh-in counts towards the overall team loss or gain and is used in the tallies "against" the other teams.
The other section (Team Support aka "Cheer section") is for those who are currently maintaining or have reached goal or who are on a temporary break. Weigh-ins by people in that section don't count in the overall team loss or gain calculations each week.
Edit: Ugh! Reading is fundamental. Sorry @AustinRuadhain - didn't see you covered this already.1 -
I'm going to hit everyone up with some reminders a few hours early in hopes in closing the month with great participation! Sorry if I missed your post in the team thread... I already failed reading once today...

Remember the good, be the good, encourage others on their journey
@TeresaW1020 - I like steps because they just add up and it's been easy but it is becoming harder to do, at least for me, because of the shortening days. I've been thinking of adding something to it such as a step platform, inspired by @AustinRuadhain and then I'd be able to move it indoors and not rely so heavily on weather. This probably doesn't really answer the question, I've just been noodling on how to keep momentum in colder, shorter days.
Hydration is going to become even more important for me because part of what has kept me down was a kidney infection - don't try this at home, kids - it is decidedly, and most emphatically, not fun. So upping the liquids intake is on my list of self-improvements. => Taking it easy for several days; may take a walk tomorrow but a short one and maybe Sunday, although if I can get in some work/work on Sunday to preserve planned days off, I'll do that.2 -

Yep, often a source of confusion. Technically it is week five of October, at least for a few more hours, since F2F months always start on a Sunday. But this weigh-in is also your starting weight for November - so there are lots of ways to slice and dice it.0 -

James Clear writes about noticing your habits and building healthy habits, and his work has been extraordinarily useful to me.
I saw this, and thought people might find some useful nuggets in it. I know that I have worked and continue to work on building better habits around my health:
Healthy Eating: The Beginner’s Guide on How to Eat Healthy and Stick to It (about behaviors, not diet!)
Healthy eating. It's something everyone knows they should do, but few of us do as consistently as we would like. The purpose of this guide is to share practical strategies for how to eat healthy and break down the science of why we often fail to do so.
Oh, and this is a great article of his, too!
How to Stay Focused When You Get Bored Working Toward Your Goals
Fall in love with boredom. Fall in love with repetition and practice. Fall in love with the process of what you do and let the results take care of themselves.
If they don't call to you, no worries!
@AustinRuadhain I went out to read these, really great articles - and found another one of his that was so. On. Point. Weight loss, creativity, hobby, profession - life in general, it fits.

@raleighgirl09 - Yes. This is indeed excellent! He describes something so clearly (not original to him, but stated very clearly) that is my single favorite piece of coaching relating to weight loss and fitness. Acting on this and reminding myself of this and reviewing what I am up to based on this -- hugest difference.
2. Set a schedule for your actions.
Once you know what you want, set a schedule for actually doing it.
Note: Don't make the same mistake I have made, which is setting a schedule based on results. Don't map out how much weight you want to lose each week or how much money you want to make. “Lose 5 pounds” is not an action you can perform. “Do three sets of squats” is an action you can perform.
You want to set a schedule based on actions you can do, not results that you want.
I think I will review my schedule tomorrow morning!1 -
