@jugar
It appears mgarci88 has deleted their account. Please remove them from the spreadsheet. Thanks and have a great day.1 -
@jugar got a pm from @bumpbreakcar with last week's weigh in 144.2. She totally forgot. I know it is too late for the challenge but could we update starting weight and status?1

Can we move @ticubbage to the drop list. She just notified me she will not be participating...too much to do in June and nit a lot of scale access.0

No problem! Does she intend to come back in July or later?
Also, could you put in your own starting weight for this month? And check with tericarpentier by message to see if she is indeed joining the team and what is her weigh-in day? Thanks!
Oh gosh, one more question. Is iDebraK still checking in with the team? She should be doing a weekly weigh-in even though she is in the "goal zone". She should also provide a goal range (usually around a 5 pound spread) so that you know when she needs to hop back up to the regular team in case she goes over the top of her zone for 2 weeks in a row. I hope she is still around - her posts were always interesting and inspiring for others.
I'm back again with one more! Just what I get for cleaning up... There is a new person on your team who posted her weigh-in in the wrong place and I copied it to your team chat thread. This is hrodgers5 On the spreadsheet there is a completely different weight recordedI don't know if the weights were recorded on the wrong row or what might have happened. I highlighted it on your spreadsheet. Hopefully the mystery will be solved!

I can comment on the last one! I looked for hrodgers's starting weight in the registration thread and couldn't find it there, because the one in the spreadsheet was the one that was already there and I wanted to see if it was just a typo when adding it originally or a typo on her side. And since both of the weights in her post were 100 off that starting weight, I just added 100 to the current weight and sent her a message to figure out on which side the error occurred.
She has yet to respond. I will adjust as soon as she gets back to me. I'm not sure what else to do about this, because an over-100 lb loss is not what we're here for.1 -
Just an fyi... many of our team's June newbies have been no-shows so far.
I've reached out via dm to those we haven't heard from yet.

Same here. I have a few that have not showed up. Sent a friend request to all of them. I don’t think you can send messages unless you are friends.0 -

I have managed a time or two. If you use the Find members option in the hamburger menu under where it says Community (on a phone, not next to Community) and search for their profile, you can message.
Is it just me or is it weird to have two hambuger menus on the same page?0 -

She hasn't been. I don't think she's logged in in over 2 months. I hate to, but I think she should be dropped. We miss her, she was cool.melaniedscott wrote: »Can we move @ticubbage to the drop list.

Yes to both.1 -

I know that for a long while the messages were not going through. I will send messages this way and hope they respond.0 -

Good morning Caps!
I just started working on the tallies, and I know it is going to be one of removing many of the people who signed up but did not show up. I'll put anyone who never posted at all into the drop list, but of course, if they do show up they can go right back to the team no problem. Just let me know here.
This seems to be an increasing problem. I suspect that it is partly to do with more people using mobiles or tablets rather than computers, and the navigation is less obvious when there is less information on the screen. There are the usual other reasons - people signing up for everything in sight when they are new and then only following up on a couple of them, some just not being ready for this kind of structure, etc.
I would love to hear any suggestions about how we can set up the recruitment to make it clearer how to get around, and how we can contact the new people more effectively to get them fully on board. Thanks!0 -
One thing that really helps to find the lost sheep - most teams already do this, but not everyone. Please post weigh-in reminders, especially towards the end of the week so that everyone who has not yet weighed in gets a notification. Not everyone uses those, but it helps to have the username in a post. Be sure to use the @ so that it all works.
If you want to double check if someone has posted, just put their @username in a post, then when it is on the chat, click the username. You'll get a weird summary page - go to "Replies", click on that, and you'll see the messages the person has posted.
That is how I double check anyone on your reminder list to make sure their weigh-in post was not missed or came in after your reminder. It helps a lot!0 -
@jugar I've left a message for Susanna527/SS to ask about her weigh day and will let you know what I hear back. I tried to go into the May registration thread but couldn't find it. Do you have access to it? Wanted to see what the original sign up request said. If you do, let me know. Otherwise, I'll revert when I know more. Thanks! Jess0

Susanna527 signed up for June, which thread is still there, but you can find all of her posts from anywhere by the method in my last post above
So here is her message from the sign-up, and she did indeed say Saturday -Hello! I would absolutely love to sign up for June 2022's Fat2Fit Weight Loss Challenge and Support Group I joined MyFitnessPal 4 years ago, was super-motivated to lose weight, then I let myself slide due to a series of crushing events. I'm back - ready to tackle my weight issues once and for all.
MFP USER NAME: Susanna527
YOUR CHOSEN WEIGH-IN DAY: Saturday am
YOUR CURRENT WEIGHT: 200 lbs.
YOUR ORIGINAL STARTING WEIGHT (highest weight ever): 200 lbs.
TEAM PREFERENCE: Shapeshifters, but would love to be a part of any team that has room for me
I'm sure if you just post on the team chat to ask her to decide which day is best, she will be there. She seems to have posted a few times now, so at least she is there!
Thanks!0 -
@jugar Please switch Susanna527 from Saturday to Monday weigh ins...she posted a weigh in on a Monday and labeled it as Monday thinking that would switch her from one to the other. I will explain the process fully. Thanks! Jess1
-
@jugar Please switch AC204/SS from NWI to LWI. She posted her weight from Friday and I've updated it. Thanks!

@jugar Please move Rmyles11/SS from the drop list back to active. I've updated both the beginning and this week's weigh in. Thanks! Jess2

There is a starting and week 1 weight - should that be a week 2 weight since Monday was yesterday?0
