Sorry I’m not following the daily check in format. I’m 100% on mobile so the specific post format is a pain for me. I’ll do it for my weekly weigh in days, but i’m way too lazy otherwise, so I’ll just be peeking in like this from time to time!
@gridirongrrl If I post using the app, I tend to do it as a quote and I just delete the stuff I don't need, it's easier, and posting it in the format suggested helps me to give you credit for it as I search using that tag0 -

I have tried losing weight on my own with no such luck. I also have tried to many diets to count. I have belonged to mfp for several years. But never joined a group. So I believe this will keep me motivated.
I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Thanks for letting me join.

Oh I am not trying to get any kind of special treatment or be difficult... you don’t need to count it as a daily post. Those are just an inter-team thing if I’m reading it right, correct? Our weekly weigh ins are what affect our team total in competition with the other teams? Want to make sure I’m reading that right so that I don’t bring the team down out of laziness. I certainly don’t expect you to treat me as a special snowflake and go around looking for random posts from me to count 😉
I’m not worried about the “winner’s circle”, stuff like that isn’t super motivating for me. I prefer more natural conversation! Please don’t go out of your way!!
Hope everyone’s Tuesday went well. I don’t work on Monday’s so Tuesday always feels like a Monday to me. It has been nice to get away from the holidays and back into a normal routine. I find it easier to work my work outs in when I am on a regular work schedule!1 -

Had to be a little careful today. Some snow, slush, and ice on my walk home today. Now my shins are bothering me because I walked picking my feet up differently due to the conditions. Oh well.4 -

Exercise: Yes Beginner Pilates
Goals/Day/Comments: I work at a job where I am literally on my feet except during station time or circle time. I work with children who have special needs. So, after work I am usually so tired but, my goal today at my job and after was to keep moving. (I am sure that I got some steps in today besides the pilates) and I always try to keep in mind what I ate and track it on my phone.3 -

@gridirongrrl Didn't say you were trying to get special treatment, I try my best to keep up with the posts, but sometimes I miss them and at the end of the week I do a search and use that tag to make sure I didn't miss any (because the reality is, I am human and I do miss them sometimes). I think the Winner's Circle is encouraging, and wouldn't want you to miss out on it if you were interested, because sometimes weight just doesn't cooperate (which is normal) despite how well we've done to stick to the plan and it helps to have other measures of success. And you are correct, the weekly weigh ins are what count towards the actual competition, the daily posts are just a challenge to help us get to the goal of a lower weight and they're optional anyway, but I really do encourage them as it helps! And if structured posts aren't your thing, that's totally fine! You can post and use this group in whatever way helps you get to where you want to be. We are here to support you!3 -
Daily Post (Tuesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise: Yes, 1 hour walking, 1 hour 15 mins weight training.
Comments: I think I've managed to pick up a cold, not sure really though, all I am stuck with is a stuffy/runny nose at times and sneezing that won't stop. This is literally the first one I've had in like 18 months or so....so I guess I can't complain and it's not slowing me down. Did a bunch of cleaning tasks today that I needed to get done, washed my cats blankets, the curtains, etc and have been cleaning out my fridge so in all honesty I guess I don't care if I have a cold..when it's not bothering me too much...? I am going to go to bed early tonight as I have to go to the office tomorrow (yuck) as we're hosting our clients from London and I am REALLY not looking forward to that since I know what that means for me.2 -
@AB0215 I don’t know how you keep you with all the posts as it is! Seems like a daunting job! And no worries, I didn’t feel attacked. Just wanted you to know that I don’t care about little stuff like that! I think it’s awesome if it motivates other people, more power to them! I just know that for me I’d be filling in blanks because I felt like I had to, not because I enjoyed it and it would feel impersonal and like more of a chore than what I want this group to be, which is a place to chat with/encourage other people!
Sorry about your cold... I feel you on that one! I had a cold a week ago and had 2 days where I felt pretty awful. I was able to pretty much sleep it off and felt better but I still find myself reaching for tissue a lot during the day and woke up in the middle of the night last night with a sore throat (it was gone by morning, so maybe I just slept with my mouth open because of nasal congestion? Who knows!) but like you, it’s not stopping me during the day so I’m trying to ignore it!
While I am thinking about if, my weigh in day is tomorrow. I go in to work at 6am though so don’t panic when I don’t post until late afternoon/early evening CST. 😀0 -
