Trimstones - December 2020 Team Chat

Posts: 10,234 Member
Here is your Team chat room for December 2020. This is where you weigh in every week, post your goals and progress, discuss any issues or topics of interest, share ideas, support your teammates, receive help when you need it, and dream big. Try to post every day, and help each other succeed!
We have six great teams. The group and team leaders are as follows:
Our Moderators:
Liselyn - @jugar
Beka - @Beka3695
Teresa - @TeresaW1020
Megan - @Megan_smartiepants1970
Our Team Captains:
Mission Slimpossibles - @broncobuddee and @TeresaW1020
Trimstones - @mulecanter and @jessicakrall8
Weight No More - @1theresamcvean and @minstrelofsarcasm
Waist Aways - @jugar and @micki48
Shrinking Assets - @Boehle and @beka3695
Downsizers - @lindamtuck2018 and @Megan_smartiepants1970
Our Team Motivators:
Mission Slimpossibles - @AustinRuadhain @katmary71 and @raleighgirl09
Trimstones - @Emmajhare and @angmarie28
Weight No More - @GingerPwr and @KUMEcyclingteam
Waist Aways - @Terytha and @conleywoods
Shrinking Assets - @hipari
Downsizers - @Z10Rtza and @littleflutterby
HOW IT ALL WORKS:
Every challenger weighs in on their chosen day, every week without fail! At the end of each week, the tallies are done to determine the team and individuals with the most weight lost. The best losers are announced with full fanfare every Sunday. The team competition is all in good spirits - may the most losing win!
We also track those small, steady losses with the Green Week count. If you lose, however small an amount, it counts for 1 week in the green. The total will be by month, and cumulative - so you can really rack them up and get to your goal even if you aren't at the top of the weight loss leaderboard.
To make your weigh-in easy to find for your team Captains, please put it right at the top of a message, and use this format:
Username
Weigh In Day
PW (Previous Weight):
CW (Current Weight):
LTD (Loss to Date): your TOTAL loss since your highest weight ever (optional)
If you need a week off, a break, a change of weigh-in day - just ask your Captains here on your team chat page. If you take a break, you are moved to the Support Team. If you miss two weigh-ins in a row without asking for a break, you will be dropped from the team, so be sure to ask if you are travelling, sick, or just needing some time off. You can remain on the Support Team for as long as you need to. You still participate in the discussions and weigh in if you want to, but your weigh-ins will not be counted on the weekly tally.
Once you reach your goal weight, you join the Goal Zone! After hitting your goal, you need support to stay there, and you can help your teammates join you. You continue to weigh in every week, and if you have 2 weeks above your self-defined goal zone, you go back to the regular team to lose that amount before it builds up. You will have a chance to hone those maintenance skills and stick with your team!
In addition to your own team, there are F2F Full Group CHALLENGES. You can do all or none - it's up to you. Participating adds a lot to your success, so we hope to see you there often! These can involve anything fitness, health, or nutrition - and they’ll get you moving, thinking, and learning about this journey. Check the Announcements section for full group challenges.
Let’s show our fellow challengers some F2F love! Introduce yourselves right away, and let the new month begin!!

🙋♀️ Hello. 1st to post. Desperate for motivation as I'm a comfort eater & chocoholic. 🍫(Discussed with work colleague on Fri & I crave sugar-choc stuff the way she craves cigarettes, 🚬so I know it's a habit I need to bust).
I'm new to challenge and want to stay the journey to try a 12 week transformation to motivate me.
I live in Durham in the North East of England.🏴 🇬🇧
I'm married 👨👩👧👧 with 2 teenage girls. Hubbie has just been diagnosed with Parkinson's (had for years but symptoms were mild until recently so we missed them) so we are both trying to improve our health, diet & fitness.🚶♂️🚶♀️🚴♂️🏋️♀️🥗🥘🍲
I teach Secondary School Science 👩🏫👩🔬👩🎓 (11-16 years) having downshifted 4 years ago from Head of Dept in one school to a part-time 2nd in a much nicer one! Gives me more family time👩💻
🎄🎅Apart from Christmas Day desert 🍰 & cheese board🧀 (my once a year Brie & Wensleydale with cranberries) have no reason not to be off plans.
🏋️♀️Gyms reopen in UK on Wednesday & I'm booked in for PT.
🍽 Meals are all pplanned.
Looking forward to making new friends and motivational chat.6 -

The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!

Hi @Veronica676 I got your steps for the 29th. You can decide how you post them...daily or every two-three days...that way I can keep up with the recording of them...it's easier to do in little bits. Great job!

@JoDavo66 Hope and pray you're ok gal!!! My niece in KY has it and I'm checking on her every day by phone and video chat...(I'm in Virginia, about 9 hours away from her). So far, it's like a bad flu as far as her symptoms...and a bit of a headache. Please keep us posted and I'll be praying!

Hi Dawn, @dawnw990 go ahead and post your weight tomorrow, then weigh the following Monday and every one there after. Got you down for the step challenge...you can post your steps every day or every few days...just to help us keep up with the chart...the once a week thing takes too long to record...
Good luck!
