    @jessicakrall8 - if anyone has trouble finding the new threads, they wander off sometimes and you can always find them by clicking on "All Discussions" at the bottom of the list. For everyone - it's good to let your teams know about this so they don't have the same problem, and you don't have to keep posting the link!

    @Cafelelia - the day is changed for rosieposiesrl!

    Hello Shrinking Assets! @Beka3695 or @boehle or @TheMrWobbly --
    Any news from 171Lake with a new starting weight for January? Is she coming back for sure?
  • TheMrWobbly

    171Lake posted 132.5 as a starting weight on 3rd Jan. Can't say how long they will be back for though I live in hope

    Don't forget to promote:

    Everyone Lose One Pound Per Week Month. Anyone with less than 10 pounds to lose can cut that to 0.5 pound per week, and anyone at maintenance should stay there. In other words, a completely, 100% GREEN month. No red numbers on the spreadsheet at all.

    Feel free to splash this about on your teams!

    Hi @jugar - DanielleinProgress would like to change her Weigh-in day from Sunday to Friday. Again as promised, I will not even try with that spreadsheet, so your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Re the go green challenge, we are already not green! Well,it will be fun to try for the rest of the month!

    There used to be a Fitbit user thread on the main page and that is gone now. A new member is asking. Should we post a new one for Fitbit and other devices like Applewatch, so that members can follow each other?

    We are already not green as well - but I figure the early days of week 1 are the hardest, right? It was still the holiday period when they had their last weigh-in, so we'll be okay with a few splashes of holiday red in the first week!

    I will move DanielleinProgress :smile:

    I'll put it back - I had taken it out since the last responses were from 2017 or something. Thanks for the idea!

    @jugar - Thank you!

    Maybe everyone can post the fitness tracker link on their threads? A lot of the new folks may not be checking the landing page.

    Happy News!

    After last month's loss of Greg and then Steve stepping back - several of our amazing Captains really went above and beyond to help Beka and me out. They were there, with smart ideas, good humour, and shoulders to cry on when I needed them.

    I wanted to get through December, all the wild recruiting for January, and put this month on its little legs to run, run, run before making any decisions about Central Control, as @mulecanter so lovingly calls it. But today I am very glad to let you know that we have two new Moderators:
    @Cafelelia (Lisa)
    and
    @TeresaW1020 (Teresa)

    Beka and I have been having a great time with quite a few of you Captains over the past 3 weeks, and I thank you ALL for meeting the changes and moments of discomfort with poise and calm. It was not easy to pick only two people as new moderators, but all of the teams need (and have!) great leadership right now, and everyone will certainly be kept busy. The New Year has brought us really large teams, but the energy is fabulous. Let's keep it all going!

    It looks like ngk2000 may have deleted their account. It say page not found when going to their profile and when you try to send a message the 'username' field is blank and ngk2000 is not recognised.

    Has anybody heard anything since December?

    I have heard nothing. This makes me sad :(

    Let's move her to support for the moment JIC she comes back.

    Hi @jugar formerlyfit48 would like to change their weigh in day to Saturday. It is on Wednesday right now.

    Hi @jugar - 33sandy1223 needs to be added to the team WNM spreadsheet. She was one of the last people to register. Her weigh in day is Sunday and starting weight is 200 lbs.

    ngk2000 moved to support. It's true that the user name seems to have been removed, but she might have changed it - some people do that. Hopefully she'll post in your chat thread and spread the news. She did not weigh in for December week 4 and 5, so there's a chance she is just gone.

    FormerlyFit48 moved to Saturday.

    33sandy1223 added to WNM. I put both the starting and week 1 weight as 200. If they switched to Saturday they'd have a chance to show a loss for week 1 and maybe join the onederland club!

    Just for fun, I added a column to the "Group Standings" tab on the spreadsheet with the total number of members of each team, and the total for the whole F2F. It is handy for balancing the teams and knowing in one spot how many we each have, and how many in total.

    I hope the teams will even up a bit more as we figure out who did not show up or will not continue this month. I'll move anyone with no starting weight and no week 1 to support at the end of week 1. New people will get until week 2 since they all have starting weights. I also always check if people who do not weigh in have been posting - anyone with BOTH no posts and 2 NWI is dropped immediately. If they post but don't weigh in, they go to support temporarily.

    I moved NGK2000 to the drop list... FYI :)
    I admit... I altered the spreadsheet!

    It seems that robynleegetsfit is on both Downsizers and Mission Slimpossibles - and is not posting in either since she was placed on DS for January, but had been on MS in December.

    @lindamtuck2018 could you get in touch with her and find out if her switch to DS is real, if she will continue, etc.? I'll take her off of MS for now, @TeresaW1020 , since she did seem to want to switch, but if she has not shown up at all, she can be moved to support until we know for sure.

    thanks!

    One more thing for you, @lindamtuck2018 ! Sorry to bombard you.

    There are some people who used to be on Fitness Warriors who did not give a final weigh-in for December, and therefore have no starting weight for January. I am pretty sure that KrystalKayeFisher wants to stick with it, and she has at least posted one time. But the other two have not appeared at all, Mechell15 and Patti705 . I think we could cut them, but let's make one attempt to reach them.

    Could you give it a try? I have hit my allowed new friend limit it seems - not sure that MFP will release me from jail yet.

    small update - it seems that Patti705 works for the DNC in Washington and is VERY busy these days. I'll see if I can find out if she'd rather be on support and just check in when she can.

    @jugar I sent a message to both robynleegetsfit and mechell15. I will let you know if I hear back. One hasn’t logged in for 5 days and the other 11 so they may not be active.

    Good morning @jugar - amytriesww has asked to be moved to cheer squad for this month. She is recovering from surgery. She has lost over 100 lbs and is such an inspiration to us.

    Wow! She is truly amazing - I think she is one of 2 or 3 I have seen in the entire F2F over the months who just keeps losing and making it work. Wish her the best from all of us! I will move her to cheer squad.
