WHAT WE DO:
The group is divided into six teams. Each team is made up of +/- 25 members, including Captains and Motivators. We conduct challenges throughout the month to help grow, inspire, and maintain motivation. We weigh in and report weekly to gauge our success.

You can change your weigh-in day later if you decide. We are easy like that! One of our Moderators will assign you to a team and give you the team thread information. Check back here for that. Start posting on your team thread, and they’ll guide you through everything!
OUR TEAMS:

@MoStacy you are certainly welcome on WaistAways - your smile will brighten us all. You were with us before,

@jguldi11 - You will also join the WaistAways - I'm keeping things simple today! If you are completely new to Fat2Fit, take some time to check out the various links on the home page.
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/114605-fat-2-fit-weight-loss-challenge-and-support-group
We have a couple of challenges running (under Announcements) for anyone on any team, and the individual team threads are where you weigh in, chat with the team, and get to know your teammates. Go ahead and post an introduction there (link above, or just click on the WaistAways April 2020 chat under "Discussions").

Your first "official" weigh in will be May 3rd, and your starting weight will be what you just posted here. If you want to change days or anything else, just let your fearless leaders @Beka3695 and @boehle know!
I’d love to go back to that team if possible.

@samuel860 - you were with the Downsizers before, but I'm going to mix things up and send you over to the Shrinking Assets. They are a great bunch, and I think you'll enjoy the community and the support. The April chat thread is at
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10790214/shrinking-assets-team-chat-april-2020#latest
Go ahead and introduce yourself, get situated and you're good to go! You can weigh in this week if you want to have an updated starting weight for May, but your first official weigh in will be on the 5th. Good luck!
@SMcFall0215 @unevano and @jenohayford - will all join Team Waistaways. We look forward to getting to know you, and hope you'll have a great time on our team. The chat for April is at

@MaddyJo2030 - I'm sending you to the wonderful Downsizers. They are a beautiful group, and you will certainly recieve a warm welcome. The April chat is at

Joining in the team chat at the end of the month can be a bit like jumping in at the deep end, but it is better than waiting until next Sunday when the May challenge officially begins, right? Don't worry about trying to read the whole month's worth of posts! Just introduce yourselves, ask any questions you have, and you'll be all ready when the new month begins. If you want the introductory information, go back to Page 1 of your chat thread, and read the first few messages that explain how everything works. Your teammates will help out, and any time you want to make any change, just ask your team captains or me any time!
Good luck! I hope this community will become an important part of your journey, especially during this time when we need connections and support to stick with our weight and fitness goals even though things are difficult. Welcome!

@annajohns85 and @Jax_Grim you will join the Trimstones.
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10790213/trimstones-team-chat-april-2020/p18
is the April chat thread - go ahead and introduce yourselves, and next Sunday everyone will migrate to the May challenge. Your weigh-ins will be due on the 1st day (Sunday, May 3rd), so get ready! Help the team have a fantastic Week 1.
@Loriab901 - welcome back! Since you did not request a particular team, I thought I'd put you somewhere new. If you want to go back to the same team as before (since you know some people there), just let me know. Otherwise, give the Shrinking Assets a try --

@kyfrancik and @lisasolo149 will be with the Downsizers. @kyfrancik I'm arbitrarily putting you on a Monday weigh-in (since today is Monday) but you can change that any time if you don't like it. Just post a message on your team chat thread and your Captain will get it changed for you. The Downsizers is a warm and friendly team, and I'm sure you will feel like family very soon. The April chat is at
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10790215/downsizers-team-chat-april-2020/p24
Don't worry about feeling a bit lost at first - ask all your questions on your team thread (or here if you're really lost!), and they'll help you out with everything. It can also help to read the first page of the month's chat - the general ins and outs are explained there, and team members have introduced themselves if you're curious. Of course, that will all happen again in a few days when we open the May chat threads, so don't worry! You'll be up and running in no time.
