Are you trying to access groups on your iPad via the MFP app? Is so there is no option that enables you get to groups in the app. However, I use an iPad and if you log into MFP via your browser - works like a dream, you can access everything and look at groups as well as check the group spreadsheets. The only thing you can't do is update the spreadsheet on your iPad and for that I just pop into the spreadsheets when I'm on my computer.
Hope that helps!0 -
Wonderful work and congratulations go to our Round 2 Winners - Astraea05 with a weight loss of 1.50% and dillyg08 with 1.38% - loving the fact our group was in the top three losers. You are stars and very inspiring.
Hmm! Not sure the right was used. I didn't record a loss this time. My weight remained the same.
Congrats ate in order for Astrea05. WTG!!
Beverley,
The spreadsheet shows a 2.6lb loss for you during round 2.

Fact Friday: Most people don't have any idea how many calories are in a pound of body weight. But that's a crucial number to know when you're trying to lose weight, and it puts all the discussion of calorie balancing and creating a calorie deficit in perspective. One pound of body weight is equal to 3,500 calories.
Gaining a pound is as easy as eating 250 calories more a day (for instance 3 chocolate chip cookies or 2 ounces cheddar cheese) for two weeks or skipping a daily 250 calorie workout without cutting back on what you eat.0 -

Very good information! So easy to mindlessly pop cookies or cheese into your mouth without even thinking of the consequences!

I need to put this weight loss in gear!!! They had their bathing suits out at Kohls already and I actually tried a few on... how disappointing!!! My nephew is getting married in June and would be nice to not be dreading family pics and seeing everyone again! So here are my goals for the week! amp up the exercise! You are all doing so great on the exercise challenge I need to start keeping up! I did eat healthier last week and plan to continue avoiding the junk food! Lost .9 lbs so def showed on the scales. Will try to check in with the group during the week. You are all a great inspiration! I did my shopping for the week and did not purchase any chips !!! (we have the best group!)0

Cool! Thanks! Something snapped a few weeks ago and I got back in the game!! Now, for this Wednesday's weigh in, I will only be down just over a pound, but, I guess any drop is a win!!0 -
It's Weigh-in Wednesday - up or down, good or bad make yourself accountable and move forward in a different way or if it's working keep on at it. Looking forward to seeing everyone's results. I have maintained the whole way. I would have been happy to see a movement but maintenance is just as hard even though I've been at the same weight for too long and I'm not actively trying to main I'm actively trying to lose - so a little frustrating. I need to have a closer look at why I'm not losing. If I cycle a lot I want to eat more and that's one of the big obstacles. Hmm!!0

Sorry team, I've been working out, but the scale is not working in my favor. Gained 0.2, not much, but I'd rather go in the other direction.0

We're in the same boat. I had a few sweets, but I did the work to compensate. Here's the deal, let's give up some of those pound packing foods for length and see what happens. I already plan to give up sweets..and get my sugar from natural fruits.
It can be frustrating, but we gotta keep going.

I was down 2.2 but sounds better that actual.. because I was up 1.3 last weigh in! I have seen you both logging a lot of minutes on the exercise sheet so I would think you are gaining muscle! I took Julia's idea about team totals on the exercise sheet and added a team total from the beginning of the challenge and our team has lost a whopping 26.7lbs!!! We have much to cheer about!0 -

It's a deal - I just need to get rid of a few more Birthday choccies *LOL* but I've been really good and factored them into my daily count and like you tried to work off anything. Is anyone thinking of joining the challenge in March?0 -

Hope everyone's week is going well. Will try to get some exercise in! Been better week for eating healthy! Made up a batch of steel cut oats and it does seem to help keep me satisfied! Still not getting in enough water. Find it hard to drink when it is cold outside. Will try some hot tea.. guess that counts. Sure learned my lesson not to drink Sprite Zero.. it really gave me sugar cravings...0

Was checking out the exercise log! WOW! Lots of Minutes being added. If anyone needs a link here it is for round 5. Feeling like a bit of a slacker on our team! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11PYF5Hxt7-djBO-aNAm63ZYZdDO0kVDEZf_78aGTZQ0/edit#gid=00

Not doing so well. TOM is here and so too is my sweets cravings. Oh well, this too shall pass. Next week will be better.0

That was always the only time I would crave chocolate and seems like I could eat every thing in the house and still not get satisfied until I had some chocolate. Someone told me it was because I was really needing magnesium that is found in chocolate. Not sure if all that is true. I Bought some raisins and blueberries to have on hand in sweet tooth emergencies. I used to buy one bar of the expensive chocolate and just try to eat a small amount to satisfy the sweet cravings and it worked really well until I just got in the habit of eating it when I really was not craving it! Also have tried I can't have the sweets til I exercise and sometimes I didn't feel like I needed the sweets after I exercised. I think it is ok to allow yourself something sweet just try to keep it all in moderation which can be hard to do TOM!Not doing so well. TOM is here and so too is my sweets cravings. Oh well, this too shall pass. Next week will be better.0
