Here is your Team chat room for July 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
WaistAways - @jugar and @micki48
Shrinking Assets - @Beka3695 and @imgwendolyn2015

Our Team Motivators:
Downsizers - @TheresaM787
Mission Slimpossibles - @AustinRuadhain @katmary71 and @trooworld
Trimstones - @angmarie28 and @JoDavo66
Weight No More - open
WaistAways - @Terytha and @conleywoods
Shrinking Assets - @hipari and @junedave3 [/center]

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 traveling, sick, or just need 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!!

    @RoYoLizzy


    Now accepting entry into the July Step Challenge. If you'd like to join, please send me your first name, your daily step goal you hope to hit each day and something about your favorite place to walk. I'll get you added to the Step Challenge spreadsheet. The sheet is on the SAME sheet where we record all the weights, just find the link to that July chart off the main Fat2Fit page where you registered and then scroll down and you'll see it just under the weight chart. Every few days, post your steps (include the dates please) and I'll put them in the chart. At the end of the month, we'll post winners for each week, as well as the top 3 walkers for the whole month. That's it...couldn't be easier!

    If you have any questions, our team is here to help. I'm one of two Captains, with @mulecanter being the other. We have two wonderful Motivators: @angmarie28 and @JoDavo66 who will keep things flowing in the chatroom. Let us know what we can do to help you in your journey. On behalf of the whole team, again, WELCOME to TrimStones!

    Hope everyone has a productive, active month with lost of poundage lost! Here's to a great July for all of us!!

    Take care,
    Jessica :smile:

    Last night (UK time) the July Chats were ready. This morning, they had disappeared - so apologies for not having an earlier message. I was emailing & msging prior to & just after church but most of MFP F2F memebers are still asleep with the time difference!
    Thanks to @jessicakrall8 for emailing me to say they were showing again!.

    So Trimstones, welcome to July. I can't believe we are now half way through 2021.
    Welcome to our new members:

    Just wondering if we can all give a brief description of ourselves with out 1st weigh in or post to help get to know one another a little better & introduce ourselves to the new members

    It's my dream to go to Germany. My great grandparents came here from Germany and I've always wanted to visit where they are from. Both my dad's mom and dad are both of German descent so I've always been so interested in the culture there. Can't get behind all the food choices though 🤣

    @ewilhelm2487 do you know where in Germany your great grandparents are from?

    @ewilhelm2487 I was there for nearly a month, but spent most of the time in the southern part of the country. I drove up to Bonn because I wanted to see the birthplace of Beethoven (piano teacher), but the day I was there, the museum was closed. I was SO disappointed...hope you can go there and discover more of your family heritage...that's awesome.
