    Hello team! Don't forget the weigh ins due March 26 - April 1st are just our starting weights for this challenge. The weights we provided before were just used to create teams with similar total weights. I am down a couple of pounds this week but it won't count toward this challenge.

    ~~~JUST A REMINDER~~~

    Your starting weights can be submitted any time between tomorrow, Saturday, March 26 through to Friday, April 1 depending on what day you weigh in.

    In order to submit your weight please go to the thread located in Announcements for the applicable week and respond with:

    Your Username:
    Your Team Name:
    Your Current Weight:

    There is currently a very long list of individuals on a waiting list that would like to participate. I was surprised on how much interest there was! I could have easily added another 5 teams but I wanted to keep the numbers low, at least for this month. As a result I ask that everyone submit their weights on or before April 1. If not received by end of day April 1 I will assume you are no longer interested in the challenge and your seat will be filled by someone else.

    Good luck everyone!! Let the game begin!!! :smile:

    Morning everyone! I really need the accountability starting today. Had a terrible ice storm the last 2 days and no power. I think I ate everything in my house :/. Back on track today! We can do this! Let's make it a great week!

    @smusicmom don't get bummed by the scale. Start taking measurements, you will probably find that you are losing inches when you're not losing weight. A pound of muscle takes but less space that a pound of fat.

    @amandalsherwood2 you're doing great keep up the good work.

    @melanieleasure welcome to the group. I have 2 daughters that are 6 and 7 years old.

    Good luck to all of you staying on track over the holiday weekend. I feel luck that I weigh in on Mondays.

    Getting geared up to get this show on the road. I'm planning to do my starting weight tomorrow. I'm a little nervous because my weight loss has really stalled this past month so I hope it's better in April. I would feel horrible if I don't lose much or any. I want us to win!
    Anyone else feeling nervous?

    Yes I'm really nervous. I've been big since my teens my heaviest being 217lb I'm currently at 189lb which is the lowest I've been in 20 years. It's hard losing weight but knowing others are relying on my loss is added pressure but also might be the kick I need. I want to win for myself and my team

    Happy Monday! I'm nervous. This is my third challenge. Its definitely added pressure when you're on a team. I'll weigh in tomorrow. Unfortunately Aunt Flo is visiting. I work nights so my weigh in days will vary, depending on my nights off.

    Hi All,

    I have been pleasantly surprised and very shocked at the number of people that have expressed interest in our challenge. I really dislike turning people away, especially if they are trying to better themselves by reaching out for support in helping themselves achieve health goals.

    At this moment I have over 100 people on our waiting list. As a result I have created 3 more teams! This won't place them all but at least it will help 45 of them.

    Because we've grown so much I am looking for a Team Captain for each team. This person should be someone that is 100% committed to not only their own success but each and every team member on the team. This must be someone that logs in DAILY.

    I'll be looking to the Team Captains to ensure everyone on your team has submitted their weekly weigh-ins on or before Friday of every week. If there is a team member that is falling off the wagon, I'll be looking to you to encourage them to continue both for their own benefit as well as the team's overall weekly standing. This may require a personal message to them of encouragement or maybe just a reminder that they haven't submitted yet.

    If this sounds like something you'd like to do let me know ASAP. I'd like to have Team Captains selected prior to our April 1 start date.

    Hi Team!

    When you get a chance can you please reply with what day you will be weighing in. This will be added to the spreadsheet to aid the Team Captains in ensuring the team's weights are submitted.

    Thanks!

    P.S.: I'm still looking for a volunteer to act as Team Captain for your team. Any takers? :smile:

    @Serendipity0913 I'll help as a Team Captain. I was planning on going through and adding everyone on the team as a MFP friend today to help encourage each other anyway.

    Hello all! My names Courtney and I'm a SAHM just trying to raise 2 little southern delights and better myself a bit in the process. I'll be weighing in officially on Fridays as well. But I'll head over right now and get my first weight recorded....if I can figure out how to do it. Lol

    Oh and as always, it's so nice to meet y'all!

    @Jenfromtheblock84 I sent a message asking when your weigh in day was so we can verify and get it on the spreadsheet. I see you accepted the friend request but may have not read the full message. Are you weighing in on Fridays? Thanks.

    You did a great job Squeekersmom, you got your weight in early, the team isn't waiting for you. You also have a personal victory in that you didn't gain anything. :)
