"Hi, just a quick question. How strict is our weigh-in day? I have mine scheduled for Sundays, but I will be out of town and won't have access to a scale on Saturday and Sunday. I was wondering if I could weigh-in on Monday for just this week? Thanks !"
I'm guessing it fine for her to just post her weight on Monday morning. But wanted to make sure.
Life happens so it's not set in stone. If at all possible I'd like to have everyone measure themselves over a period of one week but I understand that things come up. As long as it's not consistently happening.

It's currently 8:43 pm. I'm going to wait until midnight my time. Because I'm on the east coast it will allow for any people on the west coast to submit. Some people may have Friday evening Weight Watcher meetings. I just got a weight from SethKaishi a minute or so ago so people may still respond.
Hard to believe tomorrow we'll start seeing our first results from Week 1!! All our Saturday weigh-iners will be starting to submit! Exciting!!

That's awesome that you got a weight from SethKaishi! That means we only have ONE person who didn't report (Kezz2325). I'm on the west coast and it's after 5:00 here, so I doubt we will hear from her.0 -

Thanks. And I've sent a final reminder to my one last team member that still needs to record a weight.

I am still waiting on 1 teammate to check-in...Nerdishgirl3
Also waiting on a few others to submit their weigh-in day!0 -
Update on Team Die Lard: I heard from @dixedreg and she will be participating; I've asked her to post her starting weight ASAP. I've also contacted bpkal, irunforpizza, and sensiblesummer to find out what day of the week they plan to weigh in (they have all posted their starting weights.)
There are three people who have not responded to any of my communication: ninzi_86, h4nm4rie, and fancnanc1. If we don't get a response tonight, let's pull in some folks from the Wait List.
Woohoo, we're up and running!0 -
I also reminded Silverstar65 to submit her starting weight; she is participating in the challenge.0
-
Yay! Our entire team has now logged in their first weight.

Everyone has checked in for team THIN IT TO WIN IT!!!!! Let's get ready to rumble!!! 0

Here's a list of your replacement members. All of these individuals have been contacted and I'm waiting on a confirmation they are still interested as well as weights and weigh-in days. I've updated the spreadsheet with their names as a placeholder until we can connect with them. If you have any questions let me know.
Team: Dude, Where's My Car - @Lesly_Barrett_1209
Team: Withering A Weigh - @speciallisa @whatthehellamidoing @Danimri84
Team: The Slimsons - @maymay0219
Team: Die Lard - @chrizzy8 @misalillstead @poojaknsl
Team: Run Track Minds - @monih10 @fskoethe
Team: The Bod Squad - @Mike02209 @lizalmp1234 @SUNNY6130 -
For the Bod Squad, I ended up hearing from Giles and Shauna after midnight (Shauna posted in team thread, Giles sent me a message) so should an alternates not respond, we have those 2.0
-
Awe...that's too bad.
If our alternates don't respond they're back in. If that happens please stress the importance of submitting their weights on time. I don't want it so the Team Captains are chasing every week. That's not fair to you guys.0 -
You'll notice I have put all new members in Red type in the Results Tracking spreadsheet. I'll leave it like this until we hear confirmation they are still interested. At this point I have confirmation from fskoethe. SUNNY613 has responded that he's interested still but asked where to post his weight. I responded so waiting to hear back.0
-
Update: SUNNY613 has responded and he's all set. As I've been getting replies with weights and weigh-in days I've updated the spreadsheet and they are no longer in red.
I'll be away from the computer for the rest of the afternoon into early evening. If when I return we haven't hear back from the remaining people then we'll move on to the next in line. Because the challenge has already begun we don't have time to chase people or hold things up. The two members, Giles and Shauna that reported in late will be next in line for the spots before we go back to the waiting list.
Once I have a new members information confirmed I will change their names from red to black type.0 -
To the team captains...how has your response been from your teammates?
I ask b/c my teammates are not posting anything...maybe one post here and another post the next day!
I honestly thought that these teams would be pumped up and ready to motivate each other to win this challenge, but i'm not getting much at all from my team!
Maybe they will come around in the days to come...idk...i guess time will tell!
Plz share... would like to know if it's just my team!0 -

I haven't heard anything back from lizalmp1234, monihlo, chrizzy8, speciallisa, whatthehellamidoing or Danimri84. They will all be replaced with someone else. I'll gather the names and let you know0

Team Die Lard is posting some - sharing ideas and encouragement. Everyone has done well introducing themselves on the discussion board. I have also friended all the members, so some comments are being shared through posts instead of the discussion board. I imagine there will be more communication and encouragement from members once the numbers start rolling in. Some of my team members suggested doing mini team challenges each week, and that is getting some response.0 -
Thank you kayak97. I have done all of the same...friended my team members as well! I have also made suggestions, but no response as of yet! Ok...just wanted to check with other captains to see how their start is going! I really appreciate you sharing!0

@jklepack Team: Withering A Weigh is again full. Your new members are Danimri84, bbcbw and EVCbeth1978. I have talked to them and they have confirmed weights and weigh in days. EVCbeth1978 is currently on a fishing trip so there may not be a lot of activity from her for a few days. Be on the look out for them 0

Team dynamics are so weird! We had a bit of a slow start in my team but now we have about 5 people posting back and forth over the last couple days. Our newest member seems really excited. I've had a couple people who have NEVER posted on our thread (but posted their weigh-in weights on that one, so they're still on the team). I also asked for feedback on doing some mini challenges and didn't hear anything back.
I've been on other teams (other challenges) where it was only me and maybe one other person participating in the daily communications. That's SO annoying! It doesn't keep you very motivated.0 -

I totally agree...I felt the same exact way! As a team captain, I have been in front of my PC constantly....and after all the work i have put into this challenge for my team, i would like to have some really MOTIVATED players!
I do have a few teammates that are starting to post, but like you i only
have (1) one that post on a regular basis, ans SEVERAL that has NEVER posted anything except starting weight!!
I am hoping that it will improve by Friday when week 1 weigh ins are charted...we will see!
Thanks for the feedback!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS!0 -

Chin up ladies You're doing a great job! You have to remember they haven't seen anything yet. Once they see results starting to come in the competitiveness and motivation will start emerging. Plus, they'll start to see other people in what they may think is a hopeless situation like their own losing weight. It will give them hope, will and drive to be successful themselves.
There will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd winner not only over the teams but individuals within a team. That may drive more participation too once they see that.
Being a Team Captain is unfortunately a thankless job so on behalf of all the team members....THANK YOU!
