    @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!

    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 posted :smile:

    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 :wink: :smiley:

    @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!!

    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, sorry

    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.

    :)

    Yay! Thanks so much! I did weigh myself last Thursday and came in at 146.2 lbs. So I'll be weighing in on Thursdays.

    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.
