****Please everyone read. We have been getting a lot of comments from people asking to join the group after January 1st. Which I am so super excited about. I know many group leaders often restrict their groups to 15-20 people because the less people the easier it is to track the weight loss in the charts. The more people it does take longer to make the chart, HOWEVER, I do not want to turn anyone away! So this is what we will do if everyone is ok with this, in the begining I said if you miss two weeks in a row of weigh in, we will remove your name. Instead whoever wants to join, they can at anytime, if anyone misses one week of weigh in I will remove your name. Please be here every Saturday. However, circumstances happen, and many of us do not have this app on our phones and can't be at the internet everyday. If you miss weigh in because you wanted to weigh in but could not please email me so we can keep you in the group. I think with this added feature it will really push ourselves to weigh in everyweek. At work we are doing the pound for pound challenge, so I have weightloss completey surrounded by me. If anyone needs that added help. Talk with your family, friends, coworkers about starting a weight loss group, weigh in together. With having MFP and the outside help, you will be THIN in no time. I believe in all of you!!!!!!0

Sounds great to me! So we are weighing in each and every Saturday! I'm great with that! I think not missing a week really holds us each accountable and will keep us more motivated!0 -
Checking in for this Saturday, 1-8-11
SW: 238
CW: 237.5
GW: 188
I went up a little over the New Years weekend but still ended up losing 1/2 lb when it came time to weigh it. Now that there is no more holidays in sight, I'm ready to drop these pounds for good. Facing a cold and migraines this week so havent been able to work out like I wanted, but as soon as I am feeling better - It's on!
Hope everyone is doing well! We can DO THIS!

Each time that we weigh in, do we need to post our previous stats, or just our current weights? Thanks, and good luck everyone!0
