    Hi @jugar! Can you excuse piqueaboo from this weeks weigh in as she is away? Thanks

    MILESTONE for you @Beka3695

    @Terytha now has lost 101 pounds from her highest weight! She just weighed in at 175. She'll hit her lowest ever adult weight at 168 - she's on a tear!

    @jugar TheMrWobbly is back :). He posted a weigh in for this week. I replied and said we would start him active next week with the beginning of August.

    His new weigh day will be Sunday.

    I'll put him in the August spreadsheet with pleasure!

    It's that time of the month again - recruiting!! Help!!

    We need quite a boost in numbers for August if possible - please help me out! Post the link to our main page and to the sign-up thread on any message boards where people seem to be looking for support and accountability. Chime in on the two threads I have started. Talk people into giving it a serious try - whatever you can do would be appreciated :smile:


    Here is what I post on message boards to guide people to us - feel free to adapt it any way you want!

    Give a team approach a try! There is a lot of power in working together with the same people week after week - encouraging each other, getting through the times when you would give up if they weren't there, becoming more and more committed and accountable. And having fun!

    Have a look at the Fat2Fit group - it is a challenge and support group with six teams. Yes, there is competition to see who loses the most, but there are many other elements that help every team member who gets in there and makes it work. Take a look! If you want to give it a try, sign up for August, and hopefully you'll like it so much you'll stay.

    The sign-up thread is https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10804912/registration-for-new-members-august-2020#latest


    Also, if someone can post once in a while in the Challenges and Motivation and Support message boards, I have started a thread in each of those, but I get in trouble if I post too much... Just hop in and post something short so that it returns to the first page of threads. Thanks!

    Hi @jugar - Timibotkin was away and forgot to asked to be excused last week. Can you please remove her NWI? She is normally very consistent checking in. Also, kumecyclingteam wants to take August off, so he will remain on team support. We will contact him at the end of August to see if he wants to move to the goal zone. As for recruitment, I am on it! Thanks!

    MODS:
    Mynacha73/Team TrimStones is moving cross country and left yesterday. She will be traveling for 2-3 weeks and will not have access to scales (they're packed and shipping) to report in...also no internet. Please mark her as EXC for at least two weeks and if it stretches to a third, I'll let you know. She's not quite sure when the truck will arrive to bring her household goods once she reaches her destination. I'll keep you posted.

    Thanks!

    Hi @jugar, for team WNM in August, JillyBT is moving back to the weight loss team from team support. Her CW is 160 & her weigh in day is Tuesday. Thanks!

    Recruitment is going great! We are all back up to almost equal numbers. This means there are MANY new people on a couple of the teams, so any time you need a hand or have a problem, just shout.

    I'll be sharing the August spreadsheets today, but will continue transferring week 5 weights so you don't need to worry about that. I'll update the green weeks chart before integrating all the new members into the list, so please leave them at the bottom all out of order. I'll move them up at the last minute - thanks!

    If anyone is transferring to maintenance, support team, back to regular, etc. just let me know.

    @jugar I hope it's not too late for @ debbiewsharpe to be added to Team Weight No More. She is a friend of @sleepymom5 and mine. Please let me know.

    Oh! I wish she had said so - I put her with the Downsizers. It should be no problem to move her over. Yours is the fullest team, so I have not been adding anyone to you! Once people are in your team, they stick :smiley: I'll trade her for another new one for Downsizers, though - it should be fine.

    Sorry Liselyn, I asked her to in a private message but she was so quick and went to the sign-up directly. She's eager and nervous at the same time. Thanks so much.

    Hi @jugar - Just a quick update as you are working the spreadsheets. Aside from JillyBT coming back to the weight loss team, confirming that the two individuals on the drop list can in fact be dropped. Thanks!

    Will do! Hope she gets better faast. Knee injuries suck. Actually, I'll keep her in regular for week 5 (with an EXC) because she lost 8.4 pounds this month and you will want that to count in the grand finale for July, right?

    Good morning!

    @jugar - sleepymom5 will need to be excused from weighing in for the first week of August.

    @beka3695 - Team WNM does not have any major milestones to report, . 1theresamcvean has officially lost 30.9 lbs and I was hoping that could be recognized. She has less than 5 lbs to go for goal and I think that the recognition would be nice an motivating.

    Thanks!

    Happy Friday!
    In case she did not let you know, @TeresaW1020 and @broncobuddee , veryhotmails will be moving teams for August. She said she wanted a change, did not really give a reason - but I asked her to still do her week 5 weigh in with you to finish the month.

    Thanks - had not heard.

    Also, Vegan4lyfe2012 is rejoining the "active team" section in August (from the support team section in July). Her July week 5/August SW is recorded down in the support section of the July sheet.

    Thanks!
