MFP group 'LOSE 1 POUND A WEEK 2016' looking for new memebers

Our private support group, LOSE 1 POUND A WEEK 2016, is looking for new active members. (Lurkers need not apply.)

This group focuses on HEALTHY weight loss and weight maintenance methods! Eat less & Move MORE! We will support each other and encourage one another and aim to lose 1 pound a week until we ALL reach our goals!!! We will celebrate each and every pound lost. SLOW & STEADY wins the race! If you have reached you weight goals, you can still participate in a healthy lifestyle!

The guidelines or "rules" for our group are:

1) We welcome any and all suggestions! This is OUR GROUP! If it is criticism, just be kind about it.

2) BE KIND! We are here to motivate and support one another. NOT to judge or criticize! PLEASE be sure your posts and comments are positive and supportive to one another. But feel free to vent or share your struggles!

3) BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER of this group! Check in DAILY..... Without YOUR group "activity" we will have a dull, boring group! Please try to post or comment daily!

4) We will have challenges going on ALWAYS! You can choose to not participate, but the MORE you join in and participate, the more likely you are to lose weight and stay motivated (not to mention it also makes the group more fun)!

5) We will have WEEKLY weigh ins! It's for the ACCOUNTABILITY!!! You can choose to not weigh in but again, knowing you are "supposed" to post your weekly weight, will hold you more accountable to yourself AND the group!

6) Weight loss charts: We will be tracking our weight and weight lost and posting those charts weekly! We find it is such GREAT motivation to see both individual and group weight loss! We do track how many pounds as a group we have lost!

7) We welcome any and all members! Have MFP friends who would like our group? Feel free to tell them about us and ask them to join! The more the merrier! All we ask is that they be active members.

8) You are welcome to lose MORE than 1 pound a week! As long as you are doing so in a HEALTHY manner! This group HIGHLY discourages crash diets! Losing 1 pound a week is a reasonable goal but we will celebrate right along with you if you lost more!

Addendums:

A ) A team member missing two weekly weigh-ins in a row without reason will be dropped from their team. (Its not fair to the other team members to have a non-participant.)

B ) A group member who does not post something supportive for more than 30 days without reason will be removed from the group. (This is a support group after all.)
