    @jugar I have recorded all the steps that are posted. I accidentally typed in KellyBs total cell and it seems to have wiped the formula. I added it up myself and put the total in. But when you add her exercise steps, you will need to make sure the total cell changes. Sorry.

    Also, someone else on our team is responding to step posts with "insightful" and it's may throw you. Some of them haven't had exercise steps added. Thinking Yinka and KellyB. :)

    Hi @jugar! Can you change marigorringo to a late weigh in? She is a Saturday weigh in and she posted her weight today. Thanks!

    All fixed - and maybe I should remind the new members what the "insightful" is used for!

    Sorry guys Mia and have noticed I have missed 500 plus posts- went away for a long weekend . My weight last Friday was 72.3kgs- not great loss but still a loss. Still achieving alcohol free days and not eating after 6:30pm on week days easyish...

    I think a reminder is great, but I also think it's ok for team to use if something is "insightful" because sometimes it is...although I'm not sure someone's steps or weight is actually "insightful." LOL Thank you for fixing my mistake.

    I have updated the weigh-in, but hopefully someone can send them a message to correct the team chat thread issue! Thanks!

    Hi @jessicakrall8 and @mulecanter

    When I was filling blanks this morning, I found this weigh-in, but I want to double check - it seems to me it should be 186.5, not 196.5 (based on the past few weeks). She typed the 190s a couple of times, though, so could you check with her and make sure we're not 10 pounds off in the spreadsheet? thanks!
    Sorry I forgot to post my weight I thought I did.
    Sw210
    LW 197.5
    Cw 196.5
    Ltd 23.5 lb

    @jugar I've asked Jennifer to get back to me and clarify, but I'm thinking it was a typo based on her previous weigh ins. Will let you know once I hear back...
    Jessica

    @jugar It was a typo and in looking at the subtraction for the LTD, that makes it obvious...PW was 187.5 and CW 186.5. Spreadsheet is correct. I deleted your question mark.

    @jugar - sleepymom5 would like to be moved to team support this week and next. She would then like to be moved back to the weight loss team in September. Thanks in advance!

    @jugar Is it possible to update @Missymouse75's starting weight to 172 lbs. She accidentally gave the wrong starting weight and apologizes for the extra work. :smile:

    @broncobuddee and @TeresaW1020 @jugar bettyboag posted again. I had tagged her the last time she posted and gave her the link to your team chat. Here’s her post.


    Hi guys

    This month I have been distracted and I haven’t been active on here as much as I would have liked. My weight is going down slowly 70.7 kgs yesterday and today. I hope next month I can focus more on participation with the daily chats 🤗

    Time for some action here - bettyboag could simply change teams and stick with Downsizers, or she needs some communication with Slimpossibles captains to know where to post - please let me know which it is. I'll also email Teresa and Mark. Thanks!

    I don’t mind her staying on the team if you want. It is up to Teresa and Mark though.

    As of Monday, August 24th, Team WeightNoMore will have a new Co-Captain. @Cafelelia will be stepping down as family and professional obligations become even more weighty than they already are. Lisa will be staying on the team and is almost at goal, though - so at least that weighty aspect of her life has lightened up considerably! Thank you for all your hard work and leadership, Lisa. I'm sure we'll still be pestering you from time to time for your invaluable insight on tricky questions.

    The fabulously named @minstrelofsarcasm (Ashley) will be taking over on Monday. She is young, enthusiastic, and brings the kind of energy to F2F that we all need and love. Thanks for stepping up! We are all looking forward to working with you :heart:

    Either team is fine with me - whichever she prefers. I haven't heard anything back from her yet.

    Question for Trimstones @jessicakrall8 or @mulecanter

    Emmajhare is listed both as regular team and Goal Zone (maintenance). Which should it be? I know she is amazing, but being in 2 places at once is difficult even for her :wink:

    I vaguely remember her moving back up, so maybe it is just me forgetting to remove her from the maintenance team...

    I believe it's Goal Maintenance, but I'll ask her.

    @lindamtuck2018 and @mari_moulin --

    I hope you don't mind that your team is super full for September! The last 3 people who have signed up want to be on Downsizers B) I will take this one more, and then people will have to go to Trimstones. We'll all be 29 or 30 then. Good going! Thank Megan_smartiepants1970 for her great recruiting :smiley:

    That is not a problem but we have lost another this month. One of our original Downsizers, dness1203, has deactivated his account. It is sad because even though he didn’t have big losses he had a loss almost every week.

    @Beka3695 @jugar

    One of our new members when she introduced herself thanked Beka for telling her about the group. I don’t know if they wanted to be on Shrinking Assets but didnt indicate a team. Their username is aszkunk. I have no problem either way.
