___________________________________

3. Can I be on a Master List TEAM #2 ?

I'm only doing this One List of 100. If there's a volunteer for a Team #2 and they maintain the list. As of March 30, we have no volunteer. If you would like to be the volunteer for Team # 2, please send me a private message. It breaks my heart to turn away any who wants to join Master List after we are full when we reach 100 members but I'm sorry I must. Maintaining thread for 100 is a lot. Can't do more. So really hoping Team # 2 will be created by someone who volunteers. We'll see.

___________________________________

4. I'm a Team #1 Master List Member, what can I do on this thread?

Anything you want!

This is not my thread. This is all yours thread. The entire team of 100 members of Team #1.

___________________________________

5. Will you be starting/creating challenges for us on this Chatting thread?

No, I won't be able to. I would like to but I've got my hands full with maintaining The Master List thread of total lbs lost and once a week report of how many lbs lost for the entire team.

(For eg, March 29, a total of -1706 lbs lost for 64 members who signed up. )

So, everyone in the team are encouraged to create/start/organize anything fun to keep us all motivated!! Whatever challenging thing you guys can come up with. Have fun with it. And please remember to stay cordial with everyone. I will NOT be overlooking this thread per se. Only giving regular reports.

_______________________________________

6. **WHERE DO I POST MY WEEKLY LBS LOST UPDATE?**

Yup, I know this is the toughest question to answer!! All I can say is.

Please post it!!

Either here in this Chatting thread

or in the Master List thread

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/46246-total-lbs-lost-master-list-open-to-all

or both. Whatever you like.

Put a beside your latest Lbs lost so I can spot it easier. Either wise, it's hard for me to scroll thru a lot of long chats to figure out the number.

I will keep my eye out on this thread and the Master List thread for your weekly updates and make sure that your update will be posted on the List.

That is one thing I am very dilligent of updating your info asap. Definitely the same day. I understand you do so much, everyday working hard to lose that next lb and I want to make sure you all get the satisfaction

_____________________________________________

7. Is there anything we all can do for you to help you with the Master List?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Here's how:

1. Pls post every week your update. I'm only going to update your weight ONLY ONCE A WEEK. I only update your info when you post. Looking at 100 tickers is too much for me to figure out who's weight has changed. So please post your weekly update.

2. Double check I got your update right. If I made a boo boo, let me know.

3. Give me feedback how I can improve. Greatly appreciate others thoughts. I'll try to implement them if if it's not too complicated.

4. If you're leaving MFP or no longer want to be part of the Master list. Please let me know. I'm sure there will be some who would love to be part of Team # 1 when we reach 100 max.

__________________________________________

8. What's the most important thing to remember being part of Master List Team #1?

Encourage, motivate, support your Team # 1 members and wish us all luck as we climb this ladder of success together. Enjoy and have fun.

Good luck!!

Thanks a million for being part of this list. It's a lot of fun to see your updates and watching you jump to another category all the way to your Ideal Weight Goal/Ideal BMI category. Enjoy the journey!!

I am honored to be among this group of serious motivated MFP winners.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

starting weight 183 pounds :explode: January 14 (my 20th anniversary)
MFP starting weight 179 pounds February 7
13 pounds lost since joining MFP:bigsmile:
gave away all my size 16 jeans and bought some size 12's:bigsmile:
cried when I gave away my size 16 dresses because I loved them but they look like tents now:laugh:
My closet is empty and won't be refilled until I get very close to my goal (129 pounds) and can buy some "cute little dresses":bigsmile:

We eat our big meal (400-550 calories) at noon and then eat a light meal in the evening and cereal and soy milk or fat free plain yogurt near bedtime.

Good luck to all,

Ok, well CALIECAT I am not sure I will be able to lose 3lbs in one week, but I will give it a whirl!

I am loving this site. It is really helping me stay focused.

Thanks everyone!

mfpme

VERY IMPORTANT


1. Wow! Such excitement! Great. All the lbs figures is a little overwhelming for me to figure out what is an update or not. I know what I said in the first post of this thread. I need to adjust that a bit.

2.. YOUR WEEKLY UPDATE:

PLEASE HELP ME MAKE SURE I GET YOUR WEEKLY UPDATE

MAKE SURE I SEE YOUR WEEKLY UPDATE OF TOTAL LBS LOST,

PLS MAKE A POST ON THE ORIGINAL MASTER LIST THREAD!!

It'll be a little complicated for me to read all the different lbs here on the chatting thread more than I thought.

3. Exciting Applause to Caliecat for suggesting we have a Chatting thread. Also to Artschoolgirl who was so excited and even got me more enthused when she suggested she might create 30 aliases to speed up signing up!!

4. Give yourself applause for being part of a great team!! Remember, this is your team. Enjoy!!

VERY IMPORTANT

mfpme

Wow! I see a few of you went from the 200's to the 100's and others lost a few too being in the 100's.

This is so cool to finally get to know you all with all your sw's, gw's and cw's!!!

You know what: From reading all your sw's and cw's. I thought:

Imagine, just imagine if I created a Master List that looked like:

______________________________

Example with fake usernames!!

You are now below 300 lbs

You are now below 250 lbs

225 lbs fpddo12
224 lbs nmeoo

You are now below 200 lbs

199 lbs ewornonvp
198 lbs meorn11

You are now below 175 lbs

166 lbs rottiie45
157 lbs t2990mpp

You are now below 150 lbs

145 lbs eroonn2ww

You are now below 140 lbs

You are now below 130 lbs

____________________________

Where you see yourself keep going down and down another lb range??!!

Don't tempt me you guys!!

( See, maybe, that's why I was afraid of seeing all the sw's and gw's and cws!!) I knew

my mind would get inspired. Oh well. That would be so cool !! Dont' tempt me you guys!

Don't tempt me!! :laugh: :laugh:

Good night folks. Till tomorrow! I'm trying to calm down from all the excitement here so I can sleep!!:laugh:

mfpme

Ok, ok, that's it. I'm going to start the 2nd thread of Master List of Current Weight/CW as mentioned above!!

Ok, ok, I'm just joking. :laugh: :laugh:

You have no idea how tempted I am. I'm trying to look away everytime you guys talk about your sw, gw, and especially your cw's!! Gonna wear my sunglasses inside :glasses: :glasses: so I can't read all those cw's in this thread to not be tempted!! Haha!! :laugh: :laugh:

CALIECAT

mfpme----You deserve a good rest after all the hard work you put into this wonderful threads, My hat off to you.

mish3131--- how are you doing this fine morning there in Ga?. Stay focus. I am thinking of you.

Wrinkle--- may be out of our group but you are still in my heart Maybe we will be in the same group again someday. Go girl go.

Looking forward to hearing from Jake, pamelawilliams, merrifinney,markeilThey are all in the 7 to 9 lb. group.

Hello out here, This has been a lazy day for me. Just had me a nice nap. Feel so much better. Had a good eating day. Working to get in the 180's. I will make it with the help of all of you. I am looking forward to my WI Saturday morning. Still got to get out of the 190's first.

My daughter dropped by this morning , had a nice visit with her. She lives about 50 minutes to the East of us. They just moved out in their new housse out in the country. said they bought 6 baby ducks. they have a stock tank close by her house. We will be having Easter out there.

Hope all of you had a lovely day.
Be back tomorrow. See you then.

mfpme

Hey caliecat, will be here to support you from 190's to 180's. See you tomorrow. Hi hmo4, glad you didnt leave community part of site. Perhaps try some fun threads in chit chat section to keep your spirits up.Sorry about your shoulder surgery. Wish you speedy recovery. Sorry to hear you haven't been able to exercise in 2 wks. Gd luck on weigh in tomorrow.All this hard work on these 2 threads. You're welcome. Really enjoy seeing members' sign up, only 25 spots left and everyone's progress. I can't wait till we max at 100!!

CALIECAT

Only 25 spots left. HOW COOL IS THAT.. Mfpme you came along way this week. thanks for all the time you have put into this. 100 people is a lot of folks. You will make it. soon..

My daughter belongs to a group here on mfp and they have all just about all dropped out. and she thinks it is because they only report in once a week. and it is just not enought to keep them Motivated on their thread. So lets make this a fun place to chat. And do we ever love to talk.

Barbie had a nice suggestion on our Senior club for the month of April. Will try to get her to tell us here about it.
see you guys tomorrow. Caliecat

mfpme

Hi caliecat!! Yeah, 25 to go !! Not just me. We all came a long way this week. I got a lot of weekly updates. I dearly hope we will make it to 100 soon. So exciting!!

Aw, sorry to hear your daughter's group is dwindling. Yeah, I do see that a lot on mfp. Sometimes, things run its course. Yeah, fun place to chat!! I really enjoy reading everyone's sw's, cw's, and gw's here on this thread. B/C, on the Master List, only Total Lbs is listed. So reading all your sw's, cw's and gw's gives me a good pic of everyone's progress!!

Barbie's got a nice suggestion for April! Sure. All members are encouraged to create/start/organize anything/everything fun creative to keep all motivated. The more ideas the better!!

p.s., get your daughter to sign up here on Master List.

Hi Everybody, It's April on the east coast and in Europe so the new month has started for somebody (not me, yet). Let's all set some goals for ourselves and see how we do during the month of April.

Not only will it be motivating to focus on our own goals but it will be fun to see what goals other people have and maybe helpful in planning our own goals for the future.

My goals for April:

*keep doing the things that have been working (tracking my food, using my exercise bike):bigsmile:
*add squats to my workout (start with a few and do a few more each day):bigsmile:
*lose 4 pounds:bigsmile:

I can't wait to hear what the rest of you have planned:flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: mfpme---you got me with your April Fool's Day joke:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for the lists

My goals for April:

1) Walk an average of at least 10,000 steps per day (pedometer).
2) complete the 30day Shred DVD
3) record all food eaten and make wise choices for nutrient-dense foods instead of empty calories.

I have 3 overall goals:
goal 1) I am just a tiny bit away from getting my wedding dress to zip up. I bought it last summer and I have gained a couple of pounds because now I can't quite zip it up myself :sad: My goal is to fit into that nicely by May 30th!
goal 2) Get to a healthy weight by my birthday (~25-30 pounds to lose, and 5 months from now)
goal 3) Maintain a healthy BMI for the rest of my life!

CALIECAT

Thanks Barbiecat for posting the goals for April I like this ideal.

My three goals are

to have a better eating plan and a eating on a regular time
to lose 5 lbs.
to drink more water
