Here is your Team chat room for February 2021. 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!

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. At the end of the month we celebrate everyone who lost every week. You are heading steadily towards 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:

Weigh In Day:
PW (Previous Weight):
CW (Current Weight):
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. 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. 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.
Once you reach your goal weight, you join the Goal Zone! You need support to maintain, 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 weekly 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 and year begin!!

We lost my Dad 1 year ago yesterday, so I was not myself. Bummer my last weigh in showed the water weight from that but it’s okay. Happy to be here for February ❤️6 -
The last few miles today were hard! With a capital H, capital A, capital R and capital D... then put it in bold... then make it flash.There was a thought that said if you are going to run 20 miles why not 26. Well erm... heck NO! This was quite enough and I really need to firm up my fuelling as it just isn't working right now.
No specific target for Feb, just try and keep to the plan.2 -
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!!

I am Beka, one of your Team Captains and Group Moderator. My counterpart and bestie is Julie, aka@Boehle.
I am 44, married, mom of 2 daughters, Mimi of one amazing grandson, and human mom to 3 fur babies. I usually live in the beautiful mountains of Northern Georgia, but currently residing in Florida as I am acting nanny to my sweet grandson.
I started my journey 3 years ago at 242 lbs, lost down to 174 (-68 lbs) and maintained almost 9 months before gaining back to 232. It is only failure if you quit... right???
For my second time around, I am currently down about 70 lbs from my highest...

I posted I January that I was struggling with mini binges or mindless eating. Sweets are an issue for me. I do not have a good relationship with sweets.
In an attempt to correct this, and established better habits, although my religion does not observe the Lenten Season, I will be giving up chocolate* for Lent. Note the asterisk after chocolate. I will allow myself Built Bars which IMO are the best tasting protein bars ever.
Maybe this will help get me back on track.5 -
We are doing a health challenge at work. I've given up sugary snacks for the next two weeks. That is definitely my weakness. And once I start, I can't stop!2

Woohoo! Happy February everyone.
Typically, yesterday's weigh in included a sodium spike which has now disappeared. Sorry team. I do hope that next Sunday's weigh in will be much better.
Wishing you all a great start to the month 🎉😀1 -

Ugh...this is frustrating but hopefully it's just muscle gain or too much sodium.4
