Okay I have talked to ~~~marcelka77~~~ the lady who is doing the numbers. How about we merge some teams? We of course will be aiming to keep you with your current team mates! Please respond here if your still playing the game. Also PLEASE have any of your team mates respond here by Saturday Night. Thanks!

yep, I think it's the only way to save the challenge at this point. I am still here (often) and would like to be with like-minded people. it's funny when I look back at my into response:Will you be committed?: yes the question is will the group stay committed - too many have fizzled out before they reach the end...
Please merge groups, post results and keep this going....somehow the group became the challenge not the exercises :sad:
For those of you who are on here often and doing the challenges and supporting your groups....THANK YOU!!! :smooched:0 -
Merging the teams sounds good to me!

I'm still playing and wouldn't mind merging teams!0

This is timely for me...I'm the Brown Team captain, and I just asked my team this morning who would be willing to step up and take my place. I haven't had any 'takers' yet, but I'm posting here to let you all know that I will *not* be active in the challenge from this point. I simply have too much 'on my plate' to give proper attention to it... So, for us, this is good timing as far as re-forming teams!
Sorry, and good luck to you all!0 -
I've decided that I am going to be stepping down from the challenge. I have too much going on right now that I need to focus on. It's been a pleasure but i need to say Hasta La Bye Bye for now.0

I'm in! xx0

I'm still here and okay with merging teams if we need to.0

I am still in. :happy:0

I think merging would be best. I have a bunch going on IRL right now (finishing the school semester, about to start a second job, just got engaged so I'm trying to plan a wedding, going to Vegas in three weeks...) so I may not be posting much, but still in the challenge for the long haul.0

I'm not sure merging teams will save it. Marcelka77 , the leader running numbers, has a lack of time to manage it. Is there going to be someone assisting her with the numbers? This is de ja vue for some of us.0

Let me introduce myself- My name is Tess.
Ladies who are stepping down I will highlight your names grey- I wish you all the best and hope you reach your goals!
As for the merge, I have offered to help Marcelka77 with anything she needs. I think with merging and commitment we CAN make this work. We may need some help with volunteers to be Team Captains, please consider being a Captain in the event we need another.
Sandi117- congrats on your engagement! And kudos to you for staying committed!
If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to put them here or you can message me .
I was not around the last go at this so I'm not sure what happened there.....0 -
I'm definitely in, and all for merging teams!! I can also step up a be team captain if necessary. The yellow team captain is on vacation for two weeks, and I told her I would step up in her place, so I am fine to do the same as we merge groups. Also, I have been the person keeping the math up-to-date as much as possible in the spreadsheets as far as pounds lost, percent lost, etc. I will keep doing this, and if I am needed in any other way please let me know!0
-
I added a column to the spreadsheet so that we can keep track of who is in and who is out of this challenge before we do the merge. I marked down what we know so far based on who has responded to this discussion and the "still going on?" discussion. I also assumed that anyone that had been grayed out was inactive and thus out of the remainder of the challenge.0

I'm still in 0

I am still here, too!
Merging the teams is good, I could also be a team captain if you need one.
Thank you for taking the initiative to reorganize things!0 -
I'll stay in then, if others are going to help with numbers. I am technically challenged so I can't really help with the numbers part. I won't be as active for the next week or so due to medical procedures, but I am on most days.0

Great response so far!
adancer59 thank you so much for stepping up and doing that! Your awesome!
Please make sure that you are letting your teammate know about this and find out if they are still in! If they can not for whatever reason get on here (I really wish this part could be part of the app.) please add there name here.
Everyone agreed to commitment at the beginning of this, please make sure you can stay committed to this. This is what I think is a fair commitment:
Encouraging your team!
Logging in.
Checking in here on the website at least 1 time a week.
Request your team as a friend on the app or here and encourage them that way.
exercising
Making a effort.
I don't think that the above is too much, is it?
Ladies we are all here because of the same issues: we are all trying to lose weight/tone up. Without commitment to ourselves we can not commit to our team. I realize that life happens. However lets try to sweat this weight away and become the people we want to be! There is a smaller person inside each of us just waiting to be seen!0 -
I think merging teams is great. I too need to step down from Orange team captain, with the promotion I got a last week, my situation changed. I don't want to hinder my team with my lack of participation.
I am very sorry Orange Team... Best of luck to all of you. I hope to keep you on my friends list!!

Are you still going to participate in the challenge as a team member? Or would you like to be removed?0 -
I would still like to participate... and was part of Brown Team. So however we merge, that is fine with me! I can't be a captain right now, but maybe we can rotate captain duties monthly on our merged teams so that is more manageable.0

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.0 -
I am definitely in! Let me know if you need help! I have 3 members that actively participate.0

I know my participation hasn't been as active but I have been weighing in each week :-), so I am interested in staying on. ps... the link that was included in the message to me didn't work. But this link works:

My bad... It didn't work because of the period at the end of the sentence. Hopefully people will figure out where to post, but if not many have been personally responding to the message. I have been adding their responses to the "In or Out?" column on the spreadsheet.
Way to go purple and red teams for being completely accounted for one way or the other!0 -
I'm up for Merging teams!
