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!
Well, we can always thank each other as well!! Thank you fellow team captains!0 -

You are so right! Thank you for your much needed input!
My teammates are starting to do a lot better, and i'm sure it will be even more added discussions in the weeks to come!
Thank you also for checking in, and helping us out!0 -

@chrizzy8 below is what I posted in another thread. I'm sorry.
********************************************************************************************
I'm so sorry@chrizzy8. We hadn't heard back from you and we were already a few days into the challenge. We assumed because we hadn't heard anything that you were no longer interested so we filled your spot with someone on the waiting list. Sorry :-(
This challenge will run for the month of April and if successful we'll continue another one next month. If you're still interested you can join us next month. I had about 700 people interested in the challenge so if you're interested you'll have to sign up quick.
Again, I'm sorry.0 -
Good morning Ladies and Gents! Popping to say Hi and also a quick question. If all of my teammates submit on the weigh-in page, do I need to follow up with anyone? Or @Serendipity0913 will you be logging their info from that page? Thanks!!0

No worries, I understand! Thank you for being so organized and considering everyone. Not an easy job! How did you decide to run this challenge? Do you work in the weight loss industry? Would love to hear more about you!0 -

Thanks for understanding @chrizzy8 . You can still continue to follow along with your team. You can still get the benefits of support, encouragement and accountability by weighing in. Your numbers may not count but at least there's accountability. If this month is a success then I will continue next month and you'll already have made relationships with others.
To answer your question, no I'm not in the weight-loss industry I work as a Regional Operations Manager for the Eastern half of Canada. I chose to start this challenge because it was something I desperately wanted and needed myself. I did a search and didn't see any other challenges that fit what I wanted so I decided to start my own. I have been blown away by the interest. I had just under 700 responses from people that were interested. What started as 5 teams of 10 grew to 5 teams of 15 and then eventually 10 teams of 15. I had to cap it at that point because I didn't want to get so big there wasn't a personal touch any longer. Like I said, I'm planning on doing it for future months. I'm finding the accountability to the group is keeping me focused. Afterall, if I quit, I'm affecting a lot of other people. I love seeing the success in others. Keep with us, I'd love to lose with you

@Serendipity0913 I will definitely still follow along with the team! I created my own spreadsheet on my computer and will be plugging in my numbers so I can track my progress. I look forward to hopefully joining officially in the month of May!
What industry do you work in? You mentioned you're an operations manager, is that for a retail store? I'm just guessing here!
I'm SO glad you started this challenge. I actually have had the same thought - I always wanted to do a Biggest Loser type challenge either on myfitnesspal or online somewhere. I agree, there are not enough challenges like this out there! Obviously, there is a huge interest for this, so thank you for taking the lead! Also, thank you for dedicating your time to do all the tracking and monitoring!! I can't imagine how many hours you work on this every day. I was wondering if you were maybe in the weight loss industry because I don't know anyone else who would do this much work and not get paid for it!! It is so good to see that you are so passionate about this, which obviously drives your work on this challenge.
Did you come up with that google doc template yourself? If so, would you consider sending me the empty template at some point? I'd love to start a challenge like this at work and your template is so well done!
Your buddy in "loserville,"

Fancnac1 posted her weight on the team discussion; I sent her a message asking her to re-post it to the Week 1 discussion. Should be there soon!0

I work for an aerospace manufacturing company, similar to Boeing or Lochhead Martin but soon to be unemployed due to shortage of work....eeek! I'm a single mom of 2 ages 6 and 2 so I can't be in that state for long. I'm currently looking for work. Got a job for me? lol

Yes, I came up with the google doc template. I will definitely send a copy to you and thanks, I'm glad you like it. It's been a work in progress. Once I go through a month I'll know what works, what doesn't and add as we grow. I'm thinking maybe adding measurements too next month but we'll see. I don't want it to become to confusing for people.
I think I may have a drop out....I'm waiting for confirmation. If that's the case I'll have a seat for you this month. I'll keep you posted0 -
UPDATE:
Team: Dude, Where's My Gut has had a member drop out of the challenge for personal reasons. akgramma will no longer be participating. That leaves an open spot. @RaeBeeBaby I have added @chrizzy8 to your team!
I'm sorry @Kayak97 and Team Die Lard but I think you've lost your cheerleader
@chrizzy8 welcome to the challenge. In order to get you up and running I need to know which day you'll be weighing-in and your weight. Starting weights were entered between Mar 26 and Apr 1. If you've been doing weekly weigh-ins and have a weight for that time period we'll use that as your starting weight. If not, we'll use your current weight. This may mean you could have little to no weight loss this week (depending on your weigh-in day) but at least you'll be on a team and good to go for future.
Let me know how to proceed and I'll enter your data.
Welcome!!0 -

I can weigh in sundays0

I'm sorry @lizalmp1234 we didn't hear back from you so we had to move forward without you. I figured you were no longer interested so your spot was given to someone else.
If the challenge is successful then I will continue it next month. Keep your eye open for us.
Again, sorry0 -
superdeedooper7 (Run Track Mind) said she has a Fri weigh in when the spread sheet lists Tues. I've sent her a link to the spreadsheet and asked her to double check with you. 0

Got it! You're all set!0 -
I just sent reminders to my team members (Withering A Weigh) that had weigh in days the last 2 days and didn't post their weights. I'll also send reminders tomorrow to anyone that didn't weigh in and that's scheduled for Friday to remind them the weighs all need to be posted.0
