How and When Do I Weigh-in?

Some of you have been asking about how the weigh-in process works so I thought I'd address those questions here.
You may have noticed that in the Results Spreadsheet you are not able to edit or add your own information. I have purposely set it as a view-only document. I have found in past challenges people were accidently deleting formulas, etc. That's why I'd prefer people post their weights in the thread that I started under announcements. There will be a new thread started for each weekly weigh-in.
Starting weights will be collected the week of Mar 26 - Apr 1 (depending on your weigh-in day). and by Friday of the following weeks.
Here is an Example:
You attend Weight Watchers meetings and your weigh-in day is Wednesday. You'll submit your starting weight on Wednesday, Mar 23. That will be your starting weight and from then on you'll submit every Wednesday for the week. Results will be announced on Fridays after everyone has submitted.
REMINDER: Should you fail to weigh-in you will be given a 0% loss which not only affects you but those of your team as well. This is the accountability factor. Your team is counting on you!
In the event a member fails to weigh-in 2 weeks in a row the member will be removed from the team and the overall team's efforts will be calculated as if that person had never existed.
My goal for this challenge was to create accountability to yourself and to your team all while having fun in a supportive environment.
I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions.
Can't wait to get started!!

Hi Gustaaf85,
You can pick any day you like for your weigh-in day as long as it's consistent every week. To make things fair everyone should be judged on a 1 week period.
My suggestion would be if your normal weigh-in day is Thursday then I would submit your weigh-ins to BLC every Thursday. That way it doesn't change your normal routine and you don't accidently forget to submit on your non-weigh-in day.
I weigh myself 2x a week. My official weigh-in day is Friday. Friday is what I'll be submitting to BLC. I only weigh myself mid week so I know if I need to push harder to make my personal weekly goal.
I did enter your submitted weight into the spreadsheet. It's your call, if you want that as your starting weight, great. If you want to use Thursdays, then submit that on Thursday and I'll enter that as your starting weight.
Hope this helps :-)0 -

If you use Friday then you'll have a better chance at a weight loss so I would go with Friday. It's your call,

Hi @afhcreate No, I don't have you down as part of the challenge. The challenge started on April 1. Where did you see yourself as joined?0 -
On the list of members. Page before the last.0

@afhcreate
Joining the group didn't secure a seat on the challenge. As each person joined and submitted their starting weight I placed them on a team. We started as 5 teams and because we grew so fast I added another 5 teams of 15. I had to cut it off at 150 people. If it got too large it would have become too unmanageable. If you didn't get assigned a team or get a message from me confirming your spot then you were put on the waiting list for any dropouts/no shows the first week. We did have a few spots to fill but the waiting list was really long.
I'm sorry you weren't able to participate in the challenge this month. This challenge is only a month long (April). As we enter the final week I will be creating another Biggest Loser Challenge for May. You are more than welcome to join us then.
In the meantime, feel free to follow along with us. You can pick a team and follow along as a team member which will provide you with support, encouragement and friendship all while being accountable. Your numbers my not help your team but you'll learn the ropes and meet everyone so that you're ready to compete next month.
