Hey Captains, let's encourage our teams this month to use the habit tracker, which is a great tool we have here on F2F.

@jugar @sleepymom5 has asked if she can provide her starting weight on Tuesday. She's had quite a week and is still at the shore. Please let me know if that possible. Thanks

No problem! Just go ahead and fill it in when she gets it to you.1 -
Dearest Captains!
If you notice some pale red cells in the week 1 weight column, those are just to replace a NSW in the column that now has names in it! It just reminds me who will have 2 in a row if they do not weigh in this week. If the name is blank, I am still using the NSW in the MODS column. I like having the names there, but it does cause this tiny problem - but the pink cells are good enough.0 -
Hi @jugar! Colleen1018 one of the new members for this month is not on the spreadsheet. Can you also change her weigh in day to Wednesday. Thanks!0

oops. I'll get right on that!0 -
Hi Captains!
Mods have been discussing the Milestone Celebrations. For the month of September, we are going to do a MONTHLY celebration post as opposed to the current weekly.
Please keep posting them here and I will transfer to the celebration list.
Remember -- I DO NOT VISIT YOUR THREADS FOR CELEBRATIONS. I only check the spreadsheet for the 00/25/50/75's1 -
@jugar My apologies, I should have let you know this a couple of weeks back. I don't want to make more work for you. Would you please put @debbiewsharpe in goal zone. She has a range of 126 - 129 and stays within it quite well. Not sure if you know also that she is a captain over on Sole Mates. Perhaps walking has a lot to do with her success.1

She would also like her weigh day to be moved to Monday!
Thanks @jugar!1 -
Hi @jugar! Lots of info to pass on today. Both draby2011 and MissGyst weighed in late. I made the changes in the spreadsheet to their weights but can you change them to a late weigh in. Also, piqueaboo is moving back to the team from support. Her weigh in day is Friday but I am waiting on a start weight for her. Thanks!0

@jugar Could you please add @KUMEcycling back into TWNM for September weight loss. He met his first goal, took the month off, and is back to lose another 25 lbs. His starting weight is 215 and his weigh-day is Friday. ALSO, my apologies for the less than smooth transition to September. It landed on a heavy family week for me. I know it's a lot of work for all you moderators.

Please welcome Megan @Megan_smartiepants1970 as the new captain of the Downsizers. She will be filling in for Mari @mari_moulin for a few months.1

No apologies needed! All the things needed are getting done, and everything seems fine. Hugs to you!1theresamcvean wrote: »@jugar Could you please add @KUMEcycling back into TWNM for September weight loss. He met his first goal, took the month off, and is back to lose another 25 lbs.

That's great! Megan seems like a really strong person to be your new right arm. Wish Mari well - and if you have news, keep us posted.

Hello all Captains!
There is a recurring problem on the spreadsheet, and I'm not sure if it is a Google Sheets glitch or if it is one of us humans
The order of the tabs at the bottom of the screen should not be changed, if that is what is happening. Please always leave it as follows - when you click on your team tab, do no slide it along.
Group Standings - Downsizers - Mission Slimpossibles - Trimstones - Weight No More - Waist Aways - Shrinking Assets - Celebrations - Week 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - Grand Finale
Thanks!0 -
@jugar May I please be moved to Friday for weigh-ins. I'm rejigging my habits and that's part of my grand scheme.

@jugar I've tried to contact our new member sf8813 but cannot get a friend request through to her. I just get an error message. She hasn't been on the chat this week yet and her weigh-day is Sunday. This is a funny month because we started in Aug and go through to Oct. Perhaps that's why. Do you have any insight?0
-
Hi @jugar! One of our new members, foolishjoy has decided to leave the group. She messaged me today. Thanks!0

Some people sign up for things, and then find it is all too much work and flake off. sf8813 has not signed in to MFP since August 28th in any case, and has not ever posted much. You tried! I'll just mark her NWI and we'll see if she remembers she signed up...1theresamcvean wrote: »@jugar I've tried to contact our new member sf8813 but cannot get a friend request through to her.

MODS, RaeWats would like to come back to TrimStones. What do you need her to do? She popped in and made a posting in the chatroom. I tried to check the August chart to see what her weigh day was, but she's not listed...let me know what you need me to do.

MODS, she would like to do Thursday weigh ins and current weight is 204.4. May I go ahead and add her or would you rather handle? Let me know.

Yo Captains!
I'm searching for suggestions for next week's challenge - if any have come up you'd like to see happen, let me know!0 -
I'm struggling this morning. There are many gaps in the weigh-ins on the spreadsheet. Mission Slimpossibles - please get your act together! Trimstones - several misses, and a person who asked for a day change a week ago. If you have to take some time off as co-captain, please let me know! I do not mind going through another team chat to record weigh-ins as they come in while you are away or otherwise unable to record. But I do not enjoy having to do it all at once on Sunday morning, especially now that the MFP search function no longer works in the groups (grrrr, don't get me started). Sorry to be crabby, but it really helps if things are in order by Sunday mornings (8 am Eastern). I'm happy to catch the last few that weigh-in late during the night on Saturdays. I'm not happy having to trawl the entire week...
edit - I have just finished with Slimpossibles - one thing that might help a lot are some reminders about weigh-in days. New members especially need this - daily or every other day, give a heads-up to those coming next. It might help avoid having 10 NWIs in one week 1 -
Hi @jugar! Can you move piqueaboo’s weigh in day from Friday to Sunday? Thanks!0

@jugar Please switch VERYHOTMAILS/Trimstones from NWI to LWI. She reported in this morning. Also, when we see missed weights, what would you like us to do. I usually make a posting on Saturday nights asking for people to fill in, but this week, I didn't have time. I'm dealing with family in the hospital from a bad car accident. I had updated everything on the chart up until I went to bed which was around 730pm. Didn't see a posting for requested day change except for the one I did request this week for RaeWats when she rejoined.
I'm not perfect, but I think I do pretty well most weeks/months. Thanks for your help. If you want me to write something in the missed spots, let me know what to mark.

You DO great most the time! When you're having a rough week like this one, never hesitate to ask for help! As I said, I really don't mind checking up for weigh-ins on any team and putting them on the spreadsheet if you're having a week of craziness and it is too much. I'd rather make sure you have time to send messages to your team instead of having to worry about the spreadsheet when your time is tight.
I just figured out the confusion about the person asking to change days. It was marysia2609. She was in the team twice - you had added her to Sunday already, as she requested, but she was was still there on her original day as well. I moved her to Sunday this morning, since I was looking at her "old" day. She ended up being in there twice. Please always ask for day changes - then I know and there are no confusions. Thanks!0
