    @jugar -

    Please move sleepymom5 to the support team. There's been a tragedy in her family she needs to focus on for the time being.

    Oh dear - please send her hugs. If there is anything we can do to support her, let us know.

    Could you also let me know if cassie is moving back to the regular team for October? thanks!

    @jugar -

    I've sent a message to Cassie regarding her thoughts on the matter, and she has yet to make a decision after we chatted about it. Let's leave her on the support team for now. I will press her for a more concrete answer soon.

    The team of Moderators has an exciting announcement! Since August, we have been only 3. We thought we could make a go of it, but finally decided that was nuts. So as of today, we have a new Moderator!

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 (co-captain for the Downsizers) not only caught our eye as someone who is active, articulate, and encouraging, but she took a role in recruiting without being asked, and then stepped up and volunteered to help with the exact jobs we needed help with. Recruiting and challenges are ongoing tasks that were starting to be difficult for the 3 of us on top of everything else. Megan stepped up before the call was made. Thank you! And welcome to the fun task of keeping this F2F ship afloat. We could not do it without such an amazing team of Captains and Motivators.

    So hoist the sails - off we go for another month! Welcome, Megan - everyone, please feel free to share ideas and needs any time! We'll do our best to make things go smoothly for all the teams.

    @jugar I know this is a busy time. So, when you have the time, could you update our spreadsheet to show the motivator as Bob, KUMEcyclingteam. Thanks!

    @Beka3695 @jugar Please add Jax_Grim/Trimstones to the celebration list. He's lost over 100 pounds. He will likely hit onederland sometime in Oct/Nov!

    Confirmed - she just told me she thinks another month on the sidelines would do her well.

    No, she’s not. She took a leave when she went back to teaching high school during Covid.

    @jugar Please remove the NWI for kmfeig87/TrimStones team and switch to LWI. She reported in this morning. I've already updated the weight chart for last week. Thanks!

    Hi Captains!

    I have week 5 and grand finale results posted.

    I am running a double check on the celebrations and will post in a few - probably when the baby naps in a couple hours.

    Sorry for the delay this week!

    @Beka3695

    Can you clarify which levels the recognition is given at? I have only been posting 25, 50 or 100 pounds lost.

    I’ve been including any that a captain has posted.... but the MODS just met for clarification on this.

    We will celebrate any multiple of 10, 25/75.

    So if a challenger hits 60 lbs, let’s celebrate. If they hits 55, let’s wait 5 more.

    20/25/30 - celebrate!! When they 35.... wait till 40.

    @Beka3695 Hi Beka, Ugh...I missed a member of TWNM who needs to be celebrated. It's Steph @ mainebeachbum who has lost and kept off 30+ lbs. I feel terrible. I think it's too late for you to edit your post too. Please let me know what can be done.

    @Beka3695 and @jugar Ashley @minstrelofsarcasm and I were talking and wondered if it's possible to have a column on the spreadsheet for LTD. I'm concerned we're missing milestones for celebration and we think this would help. Perhaps there's a way to just have it in or near the Finale columns (U and V) as a function of the starting weight for the month, knowing the LTD at that point, and the sum of the change over the month. Please let us know what you think. I know you have a lot to do and only thinking this would assist you and avoid gaffes like the one I made forgetting one of our celebrants.
