@BonnieHosk85 thanks so much.... We are on the gulf coast, so will mostly be flooding issues for us, but are still trying to recover from flooding a few weeks ago (I have two gators now living in the brush in front of my house 😳) Praying for all our friends on the Atlantic coast...3

Hello team - I'm from Maryland and this is my first accountability challenge. I woke one morning and said I'm tired of seeing my weight not go anywhere - I need accountability. I would love to help motivate people in the group and get motivation from the group too!3

Yessss! 🙌 This is my first challenge, too! That's exactly what happened with me. A button clicked, a light bulb went off, and all of a sudden, I was OVER IT.
Thanks for sharing!2 -

Happy Sunday! Welcome to Week 1 for September, Gutbusters!
For those of you who are new to the group, here are some weigh-in FAQs:
• When do I post my weigh-in?
Post on your "scheduled weigh-in day". So, if you posted a weight in the New Member Registration thread on a Tuesday, then your scheduled weigh-in day will be each Tuesday of the month. Let me know if you have a question.
• Why is Week 1 beginning on Sunday? Haven't we been already posted our starting weights?
Think of it as a first birthday. You're born, then you must live a whole year before you can celebrate being 1. In this challenge, you post a starting weight, then you have a whole week to work on weight loss before you post your Week 1 weigh-in.
• How do I post my weigh-in?
Your posts should look like this:
Username:
Week: September Week 1
PW: Previous Weight in pounds
CW: Current Weight in pounds
• What's my previous weight?
If you're new, your Week 1 previous weight is whatever weight you posted in the New Member Registration thread or check out the current spreadsheet to see what your posted info says. If you're returning, your Week 1 previous weight is whatever your weight was in the last week of the previous month.
• Team Dynamics!
A successful month will also include checking in each day with our team. Strive to become acquainted with everyone on the team and encourage each other in the successes and failures we will all experience. Our members are invited to post daily following the guidelines of another challenge called UAC (Ultimate Accountability Challenge). Very simple, but effective, in keeping us focused on our health goals. Please feel free to join that monthly challenge as well. @RangerRickL does a fantastic job there of keeping us motivated daily. I don’t think I’d be as far along on my journey if it wasn’t for TBL and UAC. If you’d like to participate in those guidelines, post this daily with the results.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
Along with our daily check-ins, we will also have mini-challenges weekly. I do not want to be the only person coming up with these ideas so if you think of something that may be a good challenge during the week you can post the ideas on the monthly thread or send them to me privately.
• I'm still confused. Who can help me?
Just ask a question here and tag your captain (@BonnieHosk85), or your co-captain (@motis367). We do our best to reply as soon as possible. We want you to succeed as much as we want success for ourselves. If you miss your weigh-in, we will message you to remind you. Because we care. If you need to drop out for the month, just let us know. Feel free to private message us if you need to.

This week’s mini-challenge is to choose healthy fats in your meals.
Eat good fat. Fat doesn’t make you fat, it’s the sugar and processing (especially in low-fat foods)! Choose healthy fats like avocado, coconut oil, nuts, seeds, and flaxseeds as well as fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel. Fat gives you energy, healthy skin and hair and supports weight loss by helping you stay full and reduce cravings for sugar. Just control your portion as 1 gram of fat has twice the calories of carbs and proteins.

Today we’re looking for weigh-ins from:
