I sent the following message to everyone we haven't heard back from yet.
Hey! This is Alison from the yellow team in the Biggest Loser Challenge group. Several of us have noticed a lack of overall participation in the challenge and have decided to rearrange some of the teams to create a more active, supportive atmosphere. I am messaging everyone that we have not heard from yet to see if you they would like to continue on in this challenge. Expectations for the group are as follows:
Encouraging your team
Logging in.
Checking in on the group's website at least 1 time a week.
Requesting your team as a friend on the app or here and encourage them that way.
Exercising.
Making an effort.
If you feel you can do this and would like to continue with the rest of us, please message me back and post in the following thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/988966-merging-teams. We hope as many people as possible can join us!
If you who feel this has become too much of a time commitment or if your life has gotten significantly more stressful in the past few weeks, everyone in the challenge wishes you the best of luck! Continue working toward your goals
I can't wait to hear back from you!
Alison
Hopefully, we will get responses soon! I have already heard back from chljlleal, who would like to continue with the group.
I am still in but I would fine it helpful to have some more teammates on my friends list and to remind me of weigh in day because I get confused since I am in a few other challenge groups. Thanks! 0 -

Would like someone else to do it? I think we are losing momentum...and without a new challenge we might lose more people!0 -
Hey everyone! Just wanted to update you on the merging teams progress
We started this challenge with 82 people on the ten original teams. There are currently 37 people that have in some way or another announced that they would like to continue on and 30 people that have determined to continue with their weight loss individually. That means that I am still waiting to hear back from 15 people. I would like to finalize the new teams by late Saturday night so that when we see the new challenge on Sunday, everyone knows who is on their team.
As a side note, I will not remove anyone's name or information from the spreadsheet completely. I plan to make a separate section for the players that have left. That way, if for some reason, anyone wants to return at any point, they can still play from what was previously known as the "home pit."
I PMed Marcelka77 earlier today to see what she wanted to do about the group in regards to her busy schedule. In my opinion, it would be best if she shared control of the group with a couple other people. That way, as our schedules change over the coming months, someone will always be able to keep important posts at the top of the discussion board, post weekly challenges, etc. I have volunteered to be one of those people and will gladly take over as the numbers/results person for the group. Several people have also mentioned that they have ideas for challenges. Once the team merge takes place, it may be a good idea to start a discussion where people can suggest ideas for future challenges. This will be a way to get a wider variety of challenges and keep the pressure off any one person to come up with challenges every week.
Finally, here is the list of people I have not heard from. If you are friends with any of these people, please message them and let them know to post here about their decision.

Questions, comments, or concerns about the direction of the group?0 -
Hi I am still in !!!! -
I will do all challenges - ok I WILL try!!
to do everything (set by me or others!!! or me )
I will weigh myself 1x week ... I still want to loose weight by summer and even more by end of the year - but as I am very busy - working 6 days a week at the moment ( have 1 day off only) I will be very happy if anyone want to share responsibilities . I will try my best but I don't have time to write and chat in forums - maybe 1-2 a week .
I could add more people as admins of this group (let me know who is up to step up) - I can make challenges for week 5 ( I should be off on monday - but if there is anyone who is up to take this challenge let me know ) 0 -
I had a hard last two weeks but I would really like to still be in this. I am in a better place and could really use this kick in the butt. I am a part of the yellow team!0

I would like to still be in. I could be a team captain, as I am done with work next week as I work in a school. I was part of the orange team, the people who posted have already responded to this thread.
Thanks for organizing this.0 -
