HOW IT ALL WORKS:
Each week, every challenger weighs in, and the tallies are done to determine the team and individuals with the most weight lost. The best losers are announced with full fanfare every Sunday. The team competition is all in good spirits - may the most losing win!
If you need a week off, a break, a change of weigh-in day - just ask your Captain here on your team chat page.
In addition to weight loss, there are F2F Full Group CHALLENGES. We have 3 different kinds of challenges. NONE is mandatory. You can do all or none - it's up to you. Participating adds a lot to your success, though, so we hope to see you there often! Here they are:
Weekly Group Challenge - The six teams take turns to provide a Challenge for the entire group. These are posted Sundays in the Announcements area by the team assigned that particular week (see below). Everyone in the F2F Group as a whole is welcome to join in and get to know challengers from other teams. There is a new challenge every week, so you can try many new ideas.

F2F Moderators’ Challenge/Topic of the Week - The moderators also post a weekly challenge or topic in the announcements area. These can involve anything fitness, health, or nutrition - and they’ll get you moving, thinking, and learning about this journey.

Internal Team Challenges - Every team can run internal challenges - a step counting team, daily goals, weekly games or anything that can help keep everyone involved and on track. Your ideas are welcome - just post them here.

This Month’s Weekly Team Challenges will be provided by:
Week 1 – Team MISSION SLIMPOSSIBLES
Week 2 – Team TRIMSTONES
Week 3 – Team WEIGHT NO MORE
Week 4 – Team WAISTAWAYS
Week 5 – Team SHRINKING ASSETS
Note: If for some reason your team is unable to provide the weekly challenge please let us know ahead of time so another team can take your place or the moderators can provide the challenge.

Good Luck Teams: Please let us know if there is anything wrong or if you notice something that needs to be fixed or modified.
Let’s make our new challengers feel welcome and show them some F2F love!! Introduce yourselves, and let the new month begin.

THANKS! YOUR MODS

Amazing! Lost 4lbs. They only difference is that I didn't eat any chocolate or sweets. But one major difference is that I ate lots of different foods than the same meal every breakfast and lunch.
Happy December!

TeresaW1020

Hello everyone!!! I’m so excited for a new month and for us all to move closer to our goals. Welcome to our new members - and welcome back to returning members!!

I am Teresa a Slimpossible captain along with captain Mark(@broncobuddee). Team leadership also includes our awesome motivator @AustinRuadhain. We are looking for one more Motivator. If you are interested please message myself or @broncobuddee.

Here are some pointers to get our new team members started:

1) Weigh-ins

Moderators have already posted instructions on the weigh-ins but as a reminder on your weigh-in day please post your weight in the following format:
Username: (Your MFP username)
Weigh-in week: (The week you are entering your weight for ex. Week 4)
Weigh-in day: (The day you weigh in each week. Sat-Fri)
Previous Weight: (The last weight you entered)
Todays Weight: (Your weight on your chosen weigh-in day)

2) Check-ins

Along with our weekly weigh-ins, many team members also participate in daily check-ins. We recommend them as a way to stay accountable and provide the following information each day:

Calories: over/under?
Water: over/under?
Exercise:
Goals or Improvements for tomorrow:

3) Challenges

There are three each week and each is optional.

Team Challenge - this is something the team captains post. Last month we did a Step Challenge where we record how many steps, we complete each day and I keep up with tallying the score and announcing the weekly top stepper. I will be doing that again in November and will make a post about it so I can get your name if you want to be included in the Step Challenge.

Group Challenge - this is a challenge sponsored by one of the teams across the group. Look for it to be posted either in our team discussion pages or on the main group page.

Moderators Challenge - this is a challenge from one of the Moderators. Likewise, look for it to be posted within our team discussion pages or on the main group page.

Your participation is key!! Have a success today? Share it! A challenge? Share it! A question? Please ask! Some else is likely to benefit from your participation.

Finally, let's help welcome our new members with some introductions. Please share your name, where you live, how long you have been on MFP, and anything you want to share about your weight loss journey so far - successes, challenges, goals for the month.

I’ll go ahead with an introduction

I'm Teresa! 😊 I’m a 53-year-old wife and mother to a fur baby named Maggie Mae. I am the ministry assistant at my church and a 3rd to 5th grade Sunday school teacher. I love spending time with my friends, reading, and watching the Great British Bake-Off! I don't bake so I'm living vicariously through those people.

I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my life and in 2017 got serious enough to join Weight Watchers. That lasted for over 2 years and I lost 60 lbs. in that time. I have another 40 or so to go and my current weight loss plan is intermittent fasting and Keto (with a carb day thrown in here and there). I usually work out in my own workout room (spare bedroom) on my treadmill and doing Beachbody On Demand programs. I like how working out makes me feel and after just a couple of months, I can now actually do a plank or two. 😉

I’ve been a member of Team Slimpossibles for well over a year or so and just recently became one of the team captains. I am excited for the opportunity to serve this team and in the process try to keep myself motivated on my own weight loss. As one of your captains, I promise to stay active in the group and do my best to keep you all motivated and committed to your health goals. It is also my goal that Mission Slimpossibles be at the top of the leader board for the most weight loss! Are you with me?

Welcome to all our new friends that have joined for December. I am so happy to see you here. I am Michelle, 43 year old mother to 2, 1 at college and 1 about to be. I am on here every day but sad to say I do not always post. My plan is to get more and more involved with each passing month.

I love LOVE this show! One day (so I keep saying) I am going to attempt to make some of the goodies I see on there show. I won’t be able to eat them but I could give them to others as a “thinking of you treat”.

GOOD MORNING
CHALLENGERS AND WELCOME TO THE DECEMBER CHALLENGE

A QUICK INTRO HERE
I AM GREG AKA @NAVYDADDJTC
I AM THE GROUP OWNER, MODERATOR AND FITNESS CAPTAIN FOR THE FITNESS WARRIORS

I HAVE TAKEN A STEP FROM THE TEAM CAPTAIN POSITION I HELD TO FOCUS ON THE GROUP AS A WHOLE

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

AT THE SAME TIME I WAS THE VICTIM OF A WELL PLACE BOBBY TRAP WHICH COST ME THE LOWER PORTION OF MY RIGHT CALF AND MY RIGHT FOOT. SO GOES THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATION OF WAR AND WE MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE WITH A LOT MENTAL AND PHYSICAL THERAPY.

I HAVE BEEN A WARRIOR FROM THE GET GO. I JOINED IN 2016 TOOK A SMALL BREAK AND CAME BACK AFTER GETTING A NEW PROSTHETIC TO WORKOUT ON AND WALK WITH.

AS WE APPROACH THE HOLIDAY SEASON I WOULD LIKE ALL OF THE CHALLENGERS TO BE AWARE OF THE CALORIES THAT WE ARE GOING TO CONSUME AND BE MINDFUL THAT IT WON'T DETER US FROM OUR GOALS AS A TEAM AND AS A PERSON.
