    SW: 175

    GW: 145

    but I am mortified about putting down my weight---

    Don't be - we're all here for the same purpose - to lose weight and have support while doing it. Welcome to the red team! Message me your starting weight and I'll get you added to my roster!

    Ok...just went back through the thread and all my messages/friend requests and I THINK I have everyone added thus far for the red team. Below is the link to our spreadsheet. Check the August tab to make sure your name has been added and if you don't have a starting weight, please get it to me by August 1st. Merry Melting!!

    And I think this link automatically updates any time I make changes to the spreadsheet, so you should be able to check it at any time! I :heart: Google and Excel - especially when they work together to make my life easier!!

    I'm 57 and need to lose 50lbs. I'm currently weighing 220lbs. I'm 5 feet 8 in. so I'm trying to get to 170lbs I am joining this and according to my name I'm teamed up with Tiffypooh2u on the blue team. I'm not sure how this works so if someone could give me a little information I'd really appreciate some advice. Betty

    When you "bump" a post, it puts it in your "My Topics" tab so you can easily find it later.

    I've already been added. I just need to bump to keep up with this thread so I don't always have to search for it.

    I'm excited to lose weight with all of you!!! :tongue:

    Hi, I'm in! Friend request sent. Red team, if I'm reading the instructions right.

    I'm going on vacation for part of August (visiting family) and need some incentive to stay physically active and make decent choices while I'm away from my own kitchen. I definitely don't want to lose ground, and I want to continue to make progress!

    This is an open group -- you can enter whenever you find us. We roll with 3 team captains.

    Tiffypooh2u -- A-H -- Team Blue
    Jrdoty8986 -- I-P -- Team Red
    SommerJo -- Q-Z -- Team Purple

    They way it works --- Based on your Username -- send a friend request to the Team Captain who's got your letter. Make sure you include your starting weight. The Team Captain will add you to the chart. On Fridays (8/5,8/12,8/19,8/26) send your current weight to your Captain by message. Our Final Weigh in will be 8/31 - I know it's a Wednesday -- but that'll give us a few extra days to work towards the goal.


    I'm reposting the team information and directions :) I have a couple people that friend requested me -- I just want to make sure they get to the right team :) I will try to get a message to you each tomorrow as well :)

    I have been browsing this website for months and I am just now realizing that I wont stay on point unless I reach out for others with a common goal. I would love to take this challenge in August. My current weight is 286, I just want to be healthy!!

    I have sent in my request to Team Red! Im in it to win it! :happy: :happy:
