Here is your Team chat room for May 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!

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:
Downsizers - @lindamtuck2018 and @Megan_smartiepants1970
Mission Slimpossibles - @broncobuddee and @TeresaW1020
Trimstones - @mulecanter and @jessicakrall8
Weight No More - @minstrelofsarcasm and @melaniedscott
Waist Aways - @jugar and @micki48
Shrinking Assets - @Boehle and @beka3695

Our Team Motivators:
Downsizers - @TheresaM787
Mission Slimpossibles - @AustinRuadhain @katmary71 and @trooworld
Trimstones - @angmarie28 and @JoDavo66
Weight No More - @goingape
Waist Aways - @Terytha and @conleywoods
Shrinking Assets - @hipari

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:

Username
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!!

    I noted that early morning UK time so I hope that's been picked up by Mods onto spreadsheet.

    @ewilhelm2487 Sorry you've been sick!! I've asked the MODS to switch your NWI to an LWI and I've entered the weight as both last weigh in for April and start weight for May. Hope you get well soon!! Take care of yourself!!

    Honestly the fact I didn't gain more this week has me shocked. It has been super stressful as they ripped up the floors. My house was like a warzone. So we ate out a lot this week. But floors are down, they are beautiful, and the house is beginning to look like a home again. lol.

    @JoDavo66 Mine was definitely health-related...had a condition that developed where I thought it was something fairly simple and routine and I was caring for myself at home. Suffered in silence for nearly ten days and when things were not improving, finally dragged myself to the doctor. She took one look and sent me directly to the hospital for emergency surgery. I had an abscess that exploded and it was infected, turned to sepsis and I nearly died. The ER staff said I was just a few hours away from death when I drove myself to the hospital. This was in 2017. My kidneys nearly shut down as well. After ten days in the hospital, I made the decision to work on my health. Things haven't progressed as I would have hoped...but I haven't given up.

    So my "why" is that I want to live life and be able to function without heavy meds and without pain. I HAVE to succeed.

    Good question...can't wait to read everyone's responses...
