Quick request:

When members are moved to the support team and a return date or note is left in the mods only column at the end of the month, can this info be copied into the support team notes for the next month?

Thanks so much for the feedback! I will make sure this gets copied!

@Megan_smartiepants1970 is ejnxyz still planning on coming back in July? Do you have a starting weight for them?

@lauren_989 AstralCrazy from the Shape Shifters is leaving and wants to be removed from the challenge, thanks.

@lauren_989 Possibly leave her active until the end of the week, so her loss counts for the team?
Jessica @pupowl (just a thought)

That's my plan! I put last in the mod column and will delete her from the active list after I do tallies on Sunday

I have not heard from her ... I will message her right now ...I just messaged her ...She hasn't been on for 3 days ... when I hear from her I will update you

Hi! Bethanie0825 from Mission Slimpossibles is ready to be moved back to active, she's currently on the support team. She's 266.2 and weighs in on Fridays. Thank you!

@lauren_989 I don't see @aneedlecraft on the spreadsheet for team Downsizers ... She is a Thursday weigh-in but she hasn't been on for 4 days so I wanted to put a NWI on the spreadsheet ...Thank you

She had 2 NWI in a row last month and was placed on the drop list. Let me know if she wants to come back.

@lauren_989 Please add partyof7/SS back to our active roll...she went on vacation and didn't tell us, so no one knew. She shows her weight as of Jun 14th as 165 and now 163.2. Thanks!

Thanks for picking up the slack for me this week @lauren_989 ! Had a bit of a medical emergency on Monday and it threw the entire week out of whack.

Oh no! I hope everything is ok!

FYI, if someone wants to weigh in kg, all you have to do for their weight for the week is type in =weight in kg*2.2 then hit enter or click on a different box. The asterisk is on the number 8 key. Example: =80.4*2.2 then hit enter. It also is able to be done if you are using your phone for entering the weights.

@lauren_989 Just keeping things consistent...with everything we already have to do, researching conversions shouldn't be one of them, but I did google it and went with what was recommended for the conversion. I only use my PC for updates...don't use my phone with the spreadsheets.

FYI though...the conversion we got for her was 177.3 and that doesn't match what your formula produces (176.9).

Jessica

Ok, that's fine, just trying to make it easy for everyone. 1 kg = 2.2046 pounds, I just rounded down to 2.2. With he 2.2046 you get the number you got. But again, just do what is best for you and your team!

minstrelofsarcasm

I typically use 2.205, we have a handful of members who weigh in kgs and that typically does the trick. If it would make it easier, I could add a lb to kg converter to each team page - let me know if that is something that sounds necessary.

@lauren_989 I received this message from @JamieS74 this morning
This will be my last steps challenge and weigh in for a little bit, I am just not on the app as often since they took the newsfeed down and I haven't figured out the whole group posting on my android app. I will check in when I can and see how I feel at the end of the summer when I slow down a bit.

I just messaged her to see if she wanted to go on support ... I have not heard from her yet ..will let you know as soon as I can
