I have been trying to find this in chart form for some time now ... "cause I can never remember the specifics.
Please look it over, and as we move into a new month we should each determine what progress we have made so far - how far we each still have to go .... and whether our MFP profile expectations are still appropriately set to our new, current reality.

Here is the list of who has reported in that they will be in the Winner's Circle. If you should be listed, then all you have to do is include that information in today or tomorrow's post. I don't chase you for your information!
Here is our tentative first listing of expected qualifying team mates to be included in the coveted and very difficult to attain, February Winner's Circle:

Date: February 27
PASS DAY 2
Exercised?: Yes - 30 minutes stretching.
Calories?: No - homemade banana-choc muffins sent me over today. Still under for the week.
Tracked?: Yes - every bite tracked.
I woke up feeling stiff and sore this morning, so the stretching really helped. But then we had guests coming over so i made some muffins and it all went downhill from there! Only my second pass day for the month, so i was probably due for a break anyway. Intending to finish the month strong tomorrow

Congratulations to all of you!! And to any others who were missed ; )
You are great inspiration to me!9 -
If you are still here and posting ... you win as well (even if your name isn't on the list). You have STAYED THE COURSE and STAYED ACCOUNTABLE!!
I encourage you to repeat the experience next month if you haven't already signed up, and aim for 1 or 2 fewer pass-days than this month just ending.
You WILL get the hang of it as time goes by, and learn what makes for sustainable lifestyle choices in YOUR unique combination of circumstances.6 -
Thank you @RangerRickL and @AbandondedKSCharger
@BMcC9 is correct, in this group, we do not just aim for 3 Yeses and not more than 3 passes to be in the winner's circle.
There is unwritten circle called "check-in everyday", you do not just want to be in the Winner's circle. This is more about accountability and staying the course.
It is about my health /your health. This is one thing in this life that nobody can do for me or you (us).
Nobody can exercise on my or your behalf.
Nobody can keep track of what I/ you eat, bite, lick, drink, etc on my/your behalf
Nobody can stay within my/your calorie budget on my/your behalf
Please do not give up. Sign-up for next month. I will be here, some of us will still be here either loosing, maintaining or conquering bad habits. Every small step will put you in the right direction.

No need to click anything. @RangerRickL will add you to Winner's Circle based on your response. I, typically, bring it to his attention by responding with the ampersand symbol preceding RangerRickL as I have done in this message to you, so he receives notification of same.2 -

@KLD145 Every month, near the end of the month, I open a discussion post with the question, "Who believes that they will be a qualifier for this month's coveted Winner's Circle?" Then, I read and record your responses.
Thanks, Rick3 -
My personal report:
Exercise: 20 minutes of cardio intervals
Tracking: good
Calories: under my limit by more than 200 calories.5 -
Maybe because it's almost the last day of the month I was lazy again. Wednesday is my day off, and I had to get my taxes done. Dad didn't sleep well last night because of GERD, so we didn't walk in the mall. I was able to catch up on some things around the house, though. Hopefully, I can get a mall walk in tomorrow.5

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Double workout day -- 3 mile treadmill run in the morning, and then 60 minute strength training (combat, resistance and core) in the afternoon.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and very slightly under -- I needed all my calories today!
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!
@RangerRickL I'll be in the Winner's Circle for sure!
Wow, what a great lengthy list for the Winner's Circle! Congrats to everyone who finished this month's challenge, regardless if you're on that list or not. Like @BMcC9 and @victorious55 said, you just being here and still posting at the end of the month is a success!4 -
@RangerRickL, I should be in the winner's circle. I've had 2 pass days, might take another one tomorrow, but it's planned.
@BMcC9, I second that! congratulations to everyone that's still here, whether they're in the "Winner's Circle" or not. Showing up everyday is huge.
Yes x 3 for me today. I had another crazy, busy workday, but snuck out to the gym to row and do squats.5
