The November spreadsheets are almost ready - I'll share them tomorrow after having a second look tomorrow morning to make sure that everything is all right.
NOTE:
Team Challenge order for November:- Weight No More
- Waist Aways
- Shrinking Assets
- Workout Warriors
NOTE 2:
Everyone will have a new gadget - the first two columns will be "frozen" so you can scroll through the weeks and you will always have the name and weigh-in day visible right next to the week you are entering. It is much easier! If you want to try it out, go onto October's Workout Warriors sheet and give it a whirl. So do not be alarmed when you see a white vertical line after column 2. Happy scrolling.
NOTE 3:
There are now dates on the Steps section!
Thank you all for these ideas - I know some of us have put things in (like the dates, or hiding columns) and I appreciate the push to get the changes made for everyone and permanently! Keep the ideas rolling.1 -
@jugar Awesome!! 👏👍👏👍0

Question for Trimstones @jessicakrall8 and/or @mulecanter -
kkmark had a late weigh-in - would you rather have it replace her NWI so that she can update on Thursday? Right now here thursday weigh-in is already recorded for week 5, and we're not there yet... I like future weigh-ins but just want to make sure you wouldn't rather replace last week. Thanks!0 -

I think you are right, I've made those updates on the spreadsheet. It was her intent as a late weigh-in1 -
OCTOBER 30 already!!!!
Please take a look at your SUPPORT TEAM lists. Find out who is back for November as soon as possible - if they want to be moved back up to the regular team, @Navydaddjtc needs to know so that he won't keep piling on new challengers once your team is full, and I need to know who to move up. I'll transfer support team lists to November spreadsheets gradually, but hopefully at least a few of them will be back in action.
And if you want me to unhide columns, just shout! Or click on the little triangle at the column P or Q (wherever the "hide" ends) and they will all reappear.
Onward ho!0 -

SA'S 21
WE STILL HAVE 1.5 WEEKS TO GO WITH RECRUITING.. THE ROTATION WILL BE STARTING WITH WAW'S THEN EVENING OUT THE OTHER TEAMS... THE WOW'S RECRUITERS HAS BEEN POACHING FROM THE BIGGEST LOSER CHALLENGE AS THEY WERE BOTH ONCE MEMBERS IN THAT CHALLENGE AND HAVE ASK SOME OF THEIR FRIENDS TO JOIN THEM ON THE WARRIORS TEAM.
WE ARE STARTING INTO THE DREADED HOLIDAY MONTHS. BECKY AND LISELYN PUT A LOT TIME AND EFFORT INTO THE 5 FOR 90. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU TO PROMOTE THAT CHALLENGE AND ASK YOUR TEAMMATES TO POST ON THE CHALLENGE THREAD.
I UNDERSTAND THAT EVERYONE IS GOING TO BUSY GETTING READY FOR THE RUN IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER , BUT I THINK A COUPLE OF POST PER WEEK ISN'T TO MUCH TO ASK TO SUPPORT THOSE THAT WORK ON PUTTING THESE CHALLENGES TOGETHER.
AND YES I AM AS GUILTY AS THE NEXT PERSON AND THEIR IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT. MARI WAS ALWAYS ON TOP ON OF THOSE CHALLENGES POSTING A COUPLE OF TIMES PER WEEK. SO AS SHE DID SO SHALL I IN THE FUTURE.
i HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH MY CO-CAPTAIN OF THE WARRIORS ABOUT TAKING A STEP BACK AS A CAPTAIN AND FOCUSING ON THE GROUP AS A WHOLE AND REMAINING AS A MODERATOR . MY FOCUS WOULD BE 2 FOLD PROMOTING OUR CHALLENGES IN THE MFP COMMUNITY AND THE GROUP AS A WHOLE.
HOWEVER WE BOTH DECIDED THAT WITH HER HELP ALONG WITH MY SOCIAL WORKER AND WIFE I AM GOING TO SEE IF I CAN TIGHTEN UP MY TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS AS I DID IN THE NAVY AS WELL AS AN EXEC. CHEF RUNNING 4 RESTAURANT GALLEYS AND A STAFF OF 50 CHEFS AND LINE COOKS. I AM A LITTLE RUSTY AT IT SO IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME, BUT WHAT THE HELL I AM RETIRED AND I GOT TIME ON HANDS. AS I HAVE BEEN REMINDED SEVERAL TIMES THAT HELP ISN'T A FAULT. THAT'S IS A NEW CONCEPT FOR THIS STUBBORN NORWEGIAN.
PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON HOW WE CAN MAKE THIS GROUP BIGGER BETTER AND STRONGER THAN BY ALL MEANS LET ME KNOW. YOU ALL HAVE MY E MAIL ADDRESS AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO USE IT. AS LONG AS IT IS CONSTRUCTIVE I WILL DEAL WITH IT. THE ONE AND ONLY THING THAT FRIGHTENS ME IS THAT I LET DOWN MARI... AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ON MY WATCH PERIOD.
SO FROM US ANDERSON'S AND LOGAN AND FROM THE WORKOUT WARRIORS PLEASE HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON

JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW I AM HEADING FOR 25-30 MEMBERS PER TEAM. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS INCREASE AS WE ALL KNOW THAT 2-3 CHALLENGERS WILL DROP OUT AFTER THE FIRST 2 WEEKS. IT JUST A THING AND IT HAPPENS EVERY MONTH.
SO YES AS @JUGAR HAS ASKED PLEASE REACH OUT TO THOSE ON THE SUPPORT OR THE DROPPED LISTS AND SEE IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK . YOU NEVER KNOW MAYBE JUST MAYBE SOMETHING HAS CHANGED AND THEY ARE READY TO RE-VISIT THEIR JOURNEY.
KEEP IN MIND THAT IF THEY ARE ON YOUR DROPPED LIST THEY NEED TO RE-REGISTER ON THE REGISTRATION PAGE. THOSE ON THE SUPPORT LIST CAN BE MOVED BACK WITHOUT RE-REGISTERING. JUST LET LISELYN KNOW AND SHE WILL PUT THEM BACK INTO THE GROUP.
THANKS

@jugar - @cyndiesstuff is back and has asked to be added back to team Weigh No More for November. She is currently on cheer squad. Her current weight is 160.5 lbs. She is our former captain and took some time off. We are really thrilled she is back as she was a very active member. I am not sure if she wants to be captain again, but I will message her to see. I don’t mind stepping back if that is the case. Will let you know.1

Sorry! A little late to the game on this suggestion but I'm also wondering if their is any interest - and any downside - to moving the step tracking section to the rows immediately below the challenge section (ie. above Team Support and above the drop list). Not to make life hard on @jugar but as we scroll through the team thread to look for updates, we bounce between weigh-ins in the challenge section and the step section several times throughout the week, often several times throughout the day, whereas the Support/Drop sections are typically only used on weekly during the tallies. If anyone wants a visual, I had moved the step section in the Slimpossibles October sheet (whereas it has the default placement in the November sheet).
Otherwise, thanks to @jessicakrall8 for the original suggestion. Some team members report on day, others on date - so this was a great idea.0 -

Thanks for this - it is wonderful to get everyone's ideas on the spreadsheets. The only downside to moving this is on me, really. I probably use the support team and drop list sections more than anyone, but since it is never every day (usually just on tally day), I would not mind having them switched them around. This is kind of a pain to do right now rather than on the templates, so I'll wait to see if everyone agrees with the idea. I know that Mission Slimpossible already does this every month anyhow, and it is harder if there is one team different than the others. So if everyone likes the idea, I'll make the change for everyone. Let the referendum begin!1 -

Onward ho!
wishusdonna can be moved back to the challenge section.
austinruadhaim is still in maintenance mode so please leave in Support.
Haven't heard for sure but I'm betting Tess5036 will also remain in Support for another month or two.0 -

Thanks! can you get an updated weigh-in for wishusdonna? Otherwise, I have just put in the last one recoreded.

Thanks for letting me know about some of the support team people, but there are a few more - are they moving back to regular, staying on support, or dropping? If you got no response to messages, just let me know and I'll put them on the drop list.
Shrinking Assets:
ShowKitten
Weight No More:
Carlsoda
cassiegetsfit2013
DananaNanas
McKay85
Mission Slimpossible:
notsolazylisa
KMD1214
buniphuphu
And any votes on moving the step charts up above support and drop lists?0 -
Hi @jugar, We have not hear from any of the 4 people that you listed for Weigh No More. I think it is safe to move them to the drop list. @CassieGetsFit2013 does drop in from time to time, but no word from her. We can always add her back to cheer squad if she resurfaces.0
-
I LIKE THE IDEA OF MOVING THE STEPS RIGHT UNDER THE WEIGH INS IF THAT IS WHAT I UNDERSTAND IT TO BE. I ONLY USE THE TEAM SUPPORT OF THE DROPPED FROM TEAM WHEN NECESSARY BUT THE STEPS IS A DAILY THING. IF IT CAN'T BE DONE THIS MONTH THEN CAN WE ROLL IT OUT FOR DECEMBER WITH THE NEW SPREADSHEETS. WHICH JUST MIGHT BE EASIER ON LISELYN AT THE MOMENT.1
This will simplify things for me now.
