Good morning All and a Happy New Year to you!

Not meaning to step on anyone toes I started the January chat for shrinking assets. I edited Greg's group version to create a version that can be copied and pasted to other groups without editing. I then added a second posting specific to team SA.

Please delete if I have done anything amiss

Cheers,

Bob

    @jugar - I checked the January spreadsheet for team Weight No More & it looks good so far. We will get the starting weight and weigh day for Amsandos.

    Hey Beka...that IS exciting!! Please tell me the TrimStones spreadsheet might have new colors soon...anything other than that horrid brown and black we currently have...just something a bit more cheerful?! I love purple, red, yellow, pink, blue...anything but bowel movement brown...LOL Did I say that out loud?! hehe

    Thanks,
    Jessica

    Greetings, cap'ns --

    I am looking at the habit tracking spreadsheet, and here is what I think I'll do. Our teams are BIG and there might be a lot of people wanting to use this. So I am going to make one tab per team (just like on the weight spreadsheet), and make enough spaces for about 20 participants per team. There might not be that many, but it is easier to remove some rows later than to have to keep going in to add people. I am simply going to post the link on every team thread, with some simple instructions. I will also post in the Announcements to get it started. All anyone has to do to use it is -
    1. go to the spreadsheet
    2. find their team
    3. add their name
    4. add the habit(s) they want to track - maximum of 5
    5. start tracking. There are just check boxes, they click once, and it's done.

    I'll field any questions or problems in the Announcement section thread, and you might get a few in the team chats. Hopefully it will be so simple anyone can do it!

    The first day for tracking isn't until Sunday January 5th, but I'll get it ready by Friday so people can enter their names and habits.

    I'll delete empty rows, etc. as it gets going so that there won't be endless amounts of scrolling.

    Anything I'm forgetting?

    Here is the link as it looks right now. Check it out, and find any problems! Sorry all the pages are the same colour, but that's the way it's going to be this month. Maybe we'll get fancy later if we keep this going.

    It's that time of month (and no, not that one) when everyone should take a careful look at the January spreadsheet and make sure I have not left anyone off, forgotten someone who was on support team, etc. There are lots of new people to check, so if someone from each team could blast through the January registrations thread for people assigned to their teams and make sure I did not forget anyone, that would be great. I have checked, but more eyes are always useful.

    Hi Captains!!!

    I just assigned 13 new people! Check out the registration thread and see your new challengers.

    All teams currently have 32 members!!

    I don't want to sound like a control freak, but please don't move team tab order, etc. in the spreadsheets. The order is on the group standings, etc. so I find it a lot easier to keep them always in the same order. Thanks!

    @jugar Please don't scream at me...went ahead and tried my hand at "pinking" the TrimStones page for December...also changed the tab color to pink. Just trying to save you time and I'd like your opinion...wish there was a little softer pink, but can't find one...would love you to take a look please. Numbers in far right column are a little hard to read...

    Let me know if you want me to switch it back and I will. Nothing else was touched. I was VERY careful.

    No problem! I had already changed the January one last night - and I am SURE you were very careful. I'm just very protective of the spreadsheets!

    It's back to little white stars time too -- I am happy to put December week 5 weights into starting weights for January, but if you do any, please put a white star in the column after week 5 so I know it is already done. I know it says MODS only on that column but it is OK - I delete them all before starting tallies on Sunday anyhow!

    If you're swamped with all your new people and need to be on the chat though, I'm happy to do all the starting weights. With so many people on our teams, I think getting in there and chatting with them is more important than anything right now. I go through the week 5 to January updates every day, so no need to worry about that. Tally ho!

    Last message tonight I promise!!

    I will post the habit tracker link on all team chats tomorrow (along with basic instructions). Here is the new link - the old one was just a trial version...

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hGjC7OQrH9Cb8U5gmkeax8VXYm2wsTiSYg43Dg0s_LE/edit?usp=sharing

    Some of us have already put in name and habits -- it helps the team members if there is one there to show them how it's done! Go ahead and add yours. Then the team members can have at it as of tomorrow.

    thanks!

    @Liselyn or @Beka, can you reinstate @dee_toronto to the Slimpossibles? She fell off and wants to join back up. :) I asked her for her weigh-in day and starting weight. Is that correct?

    @jugar or @beka3695 for the members of the fitness warriors reporting their week 5 weights I can’t enter it into the December spreadsheet. Just a heads up.

    I'll add you to the spreadsheet! Thanks for reminding me - and I'm SO glad they are weighing in! I was not sure if they would.

    If you would rather I did them, just let me know. Also, if you transfer the week 5 weight to the new team's January starting weight, please put the lovely little * in the MODS ONLY column after week 5. Then I know the weight is in both spreadsheets. Thanks!

    @Cafelelia and @sleepymom5 -- Lisa and Pam - I just noticed that julia8468 was still on your team list, and the last message I can find about her, she should be off. I took her off, but if she should be back on, just let me know.

    Guys! I did not do the landing page!!! I can’t take ANY credit. It was @TeresaW1020

    Please give her a big round of applause for the cleanup!

    @jugar Will you start a January chatroom for TrimStones? I don't see one on the main page. Thanks! Jessica
