It's still there for me. Have you updated your app at all lately?
@Terytha

@matthewsfive I have seen that too after I hit post. Usually if I hit the reload button the little gear ⚙️ appears. But, you still only have 59 minutes to make any changes. Not sure why the do that.
Congratulations on your loss and thanks so much for the encouragement. 💕🤗1 -
Week1
Saturday weigh in

I tore two rooms in my house apart yesterday trying to make room for a bed since my granddaughter is getting too long for the pack and play. We just have too many books and paper. I filled 8 banker boxes with my teaching files. (Curriculum I’ve developed over my career) I wish I knew for sure I was never going to teach again so I could just throw it out. Then I have over 1,000 children’s books in my library and my husband, being an educator as well, has probably 4-5x as many as me. Ahhhhh. I want to get out in my garden, but I REALLY need this cleaned up.
How’s everyone doing? I’m on my 21st day of home cooked meals. Salmon tonight. We placed a grocery delivery last night with my daughter. It comes next Wednesday, but at least we don’t have to go out.
Hugs to everyone but especially the healthcare workers, first responders, teachers and moms at home with kids. 💕2 -
It's Saturday! (again)
It is seriously quiet in here! Is everyone ok? Check in if you can!
Boring business first - weigh ins due by the end of today:
@lovethyneighbor
Would I be able to carry over the same weight from last week? I threw my back out when I got out of bed this morning and have been on a tens meter and ice pack. 😬4 -

In the web version, you have to refresh the page. Then the little gear symbol shows up in the upper right corner of the post, and you have 1 hour from the time you posted to be able to edit. But you have to refresh the page first for some reason. Not sure on the app - I never, ever use it for the discussion threads - so much easier on the computer!0 -

Well done Saturday people!
Now we just need a few Friday people:

@matthews5 Do you still have the green button with "preview" next to the green button, "post reply"? It's available on my mac and iphone and seems to be the way to edit things prior to a full post.
Today has been an odd but productive day. We moved a bureau out to the porch (and that had to be decluttered and cleaned before and afterwards which, fortuanately, my spouse did) and then I cleaned where that was in the "dressing room", and made a "college bookshelf" with milk crates to have next to the sewing machine (which hasn't been moved, yet from the 3rd bedroom which will be my daughter's when she moves back after her quarantine wraps up).
whew! I'll need to finish sewing some masks for the two of us (she's got 3 already), which is slated for tomorrow morning. We'll then help her at the short term storage she's had and then we'll have some time to visit.
As the old lady I worked for used to say, "Life is funny hunny".
It sure is, Annie!
Have a good Saturday night! 3 -
2-Team Challenge Ready to Go
Hello, Waistaways! @jugar and I have set up our 2-team challenge league in FitRockr. This is going to be such fun! It's a trial run, so be patient and let us know if you hit roadbumps!
The Waistaways that we think are interested are: @Steph1498 , @eggfreak , @YinxFed , @conleywoods , @Terytha , @evelynladams527 , and @micki48 , so I am tagging you guys on this.
What You Need
To participate, either (A) you need a fitness tracking device (many options) or (B) you need to download either the Misfit, the Fitbit or the Google Fit app, and set that up with your phone as your tracker. Once you are set up, when you sync with your app, FitRockr will automatically get sent your activity data, will then calculate Activity Points (which reflect your activity level, not just steps), and finally add them to the points for the team.
Set Up a FitRockr Profile.
SIGN UP for FitRockr here: https://www.fitrockr.com/
NOTE that for this challenge, you’ll need to include in your profile your Height, Weight and Age. Other users will not see this data, but FitRockr will use it when calculating your Activity Points.
Next, Join Our Private 2-Team Challenge League on FitRockr
AFTER YOU SET UP YOUR FITROCKR ACCOUNT AND LOG IN, use this "join" link. You'll get a "Join Team Within League" message. Select Waistaways and then "Join."

Hmmm. I am wondering if you are set up on FitRockr but not yet in the league.
Does clicking this link again give you the option to "Join Team Within League?"

Good morning! It's dreary here and I'm doing a happy dance for @matthewsfive and your swimsuits! They are the hardest thing in the world to buy, but when you have just the right one, it is fantastic. I bought one recently too, getting ready for Foamfest - but that probably will be postponed at best! But I can rock the thing at home in the pond. Enjoy those new suits! NWI for sure 3

Fitrockr - I found it - selecting public leagues, then in the search box below, put in test slim...it pops up right away.
