    Sounds like a fun challenge, but I unjoined as it said email, birthday, anniversary dates are required..I wouldn't give that info out online.

    We would've been on the same team (hugs) @AdahPotatah2024

    I did check it out -- the birthday/anniversary info is optional ... the e-mail address is required, which makes me sad; cause even though it's a private team & we have the option of sharing the e-addy privately ... it just makes me uncomfortable (tears) I do trust the team -- I remember these ladies & this team from SparkPeople (hugs)

    I'm gonna think it over & maybe check with the team leader(s) ...

    Night y'all

    Good Morning VIP Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and it is going to be a great day. We have church this morning and a lot of other things to get done when we get home.

    @Kurtize - I am definitely resetting my goals and what not.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Yay that is awesome. So glad you were able to stay in range.
    @_breathe_ @AdahPotatah2024 - They only need your email address because if you stop responding the team leader likes to be able to check on you to make sure you are ok. Sometimes the mail through MFP doesn't go through so we just want to check on you. I promise it is nothing malicious. You birth month and day is only to celebrate and recognize that it is your birthday and they encourage everyone to wish you a happy birthday and the same with your anniversary if you have one. No other reasons and those are optional. I hope that helps make you decision. Only the Team Leader and her back up person have access to your email and your dates. That is all. Nothing is shared with the group ever.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

    Tabatha

    @_breathe_ Hi I just emailed the team leader and gave my email to her and not the whole team. Birthday is truly something I don't like to share. I just did month and year but I saw others just list month. Do only what your comfortable with. Hope you will stay.🐈

    @Dianedoessmiles1 How wonderful that you had an outing and stayed within calorie range. It's like a bonus. A guilt free day that brought you joy. I always try to look back at my day and say what made me happy today? Sometimes it's little things. A shared joke other times it's the joy I brought to others. There's always bad days. I'm just thrilled the day is over on those days.

    @cory17
    I quoted you, so the right person can see your message; her username only has one "S" -- also do you use the app or web site

Hope the explanation & photos help

    @_breathe_ Thank YOU! for jumping in there and helping other members! I saw that you were with us on Spark. It's great to have former sparkers reconnect.

    I am sad that @AdahPotatah2024 left us with no way to reach out and answer her questions. We care about every member so when someone disappears it's natural for us leaders to be concerned. Her profile says she doesn't use the mfp mail either that's why I tagged her.

    We understand the need for privacy and respect all the varied viewpoints represented here.

    @Tabatha_Cain @_breathe_ @AdahPotatah2024 TY TY TY Tabatha for helping our new members!! @_breathe_ @AdahPotatah2024 I do not celebreate Bdays, I just do not. As you know I am an over all leader, Tabatha is very correct in her info. If I did celebrate bdays there's NO WAY I'd want the info out on the web so I'd use my FAKE Bday. Most sites I belong to require a BDay, so I do have a FAKE one,,,, hehehehehe and yes, of course, I DID myself younger. LOLOLOL a friend of mine uses Feb 29th because it's a cool date. LOL!! That is of course an option if you'd like a team WOOHOO , but as Tabatha said its optional. I hope we both have helped with that. We really wish to help all members to reach their goals in a healthy manner, and welcome all.
    @Sweetpeasmom55. LOL it seems like I am ALWAYS going out to eat!! AGAIn today!! Hmmm my friends and I have somehow crossed over into the elderly range (my mind says NO WAY!! I can NOT be as old as I remember my Grandmother at!! BUT she was the coolest Grandmother, so I am honored at the same time! LOL) eating out seems to "the thing" we do the best. Today we went to a place that makes fancier sandwiches. I NEVER thought I'd pay $17 for a sandwich and NOT complain!! BUT yeah. Its a very nice place, near, but not on the ocean (I live in Maine on the harbor). It was turkey, fig jam (YUMMY! OH YUMMY!) a very nice goat cheese and a raspberry vinegarette, OH MY it was SUPER GOOD!! It was so big though i could only eat half. It came with either potato tots (they were quite fancy) or a salad, I did the salad. Totally yummy!! Tonight I had the other half of the sandwich adding on the side, cranberry sauce and stuffing. OH MY happiness!! I'll do my food tracker soon, hopefully in range it should be. You are correct there will always be bad days, but yes, there are always the smaller things we can find to be grateful for. I hope the job situation will work out in a way you'll be pleased. Awww how is kitty? Orange thing (LOLOLOL Oscar) is a wild boy today, which makes me laugh and yt YO!! Its interesting.
    @Patti241 did you find your team okay? WELCOME BACK!!
    @Macrat12 we aren't ignoring you Sarah, we aren't sure if you see our posts? How did the day go?
    @cory17 WOOHOO I see you made it the Rain Dancers team!!! If you have any questions your CL (Challenge Leader) is @TEXASTITCHER and of course we are always happy to help you along the way right here!! You may also write to myself or anyone on your team. We are THRILLED you are with us!!
    @k9kiddie , I LOVE the way you think!! I have a JUNK email for the sites I have no desire to hear from and yes as you suggested a few random ones I'll check for the emails I do want to see, but not give out my main one. I agree, being careful online means so much.
    @nwp728 WOOHOO Hey you are on the SAME TEAM I AM ON!! Positively Strong 4 Life!! We are excited to have you with us!! Here's the direct link you can click on. LOL since I am a leader also on the team, I was able to send it just now and put the link in here. Please remember to click on the JOIN BUTTON once you come on.

    Good Morning VIP:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and it is back to work. I am glad our trainer is actually back. This is going to be different. I love the idea of it. My arm is feeling better from my Flu shot I received Saturday. I actually did not get ill feeling at all. Joe got a feeling of achy body, but to be fair since I have fibromyalgia I am always achy feeling so I would not know if it was worse than normal or not. Since I am always in pain from it.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. I too hope everyone is able to participate and achieve their weight loss goal.
    @catnurse1 - Welcome. Glad you made it.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

    Tabatha

    Monday has started off good, we had another person look at house. Tomorrow Kayla goes to have complete physical and her teeth cleaned. It was another warm one but again a little breeze. I got an update from my 2024 walk I am doing with conqueror challenge, I didn't start until April and have been a bit slow but I am getting there.

    @Macrat12, WOOHOO to a vacation!!! Where are you heading to? ENJOY!! You work very hard.
    @Catnurse1 HEY GOOD to see you again Kat!! Kat and I go WAYYYYY BACK to Sparkpeople, happily we moved the 5% Challenge over to MFP 4 years ago!! We are now celebrating our FOURTH ANNIVERSARY on MFP!!
    @Tabatha_Cain always happy to see you with us!! Glad you didn't feel worse from the shot. I had the covid shot, I WAS NOT going to, but after catching it in April and again 3 weeks ago, hmmm figured I probably would. I do not need the flu shot until Jan. Hope the training for work goes well. Have you gone live?
    @Patti241, YO we got so much rain today and I thought of you!! How idd Monday go?
    @Kurtize, I am not at all surprised the house is being looked at!! You both did some neat things to make it even more attractive when you moved in, and it was already very nice. You are doing so nice on the walking challenge!! TY TY TY for setting the pace!! I HOPE this week I hit my steps! Today has been good, yesterday I didn't move much, totally hit the wall. But, those days happen.
