    Good morning @jugar - A couple of housekeeping items for team WNM. For July Week 5, bburrer30 weighed in very late, so would appreciate you removing her NWI and and her August starting weight is 167. For August Week 1, @hope002 is on vacation and will need to be excused from her weigh in. Thanks!

    The Week 1 Challenge is up - hopefully it will help the new (and old!) members spend some time getting to know their team and the F2F group in general.

    Hi @jugar - What a busy day and so many new members! @CassieGetsFit2013 would like to move to team support for now. She did weigh in but would like to move this week. If anything changes over the month will let you know. Thanks!

    Reminder...please move ac204 back to the August weigh in chart with a Sunday weigh day. PW was 209.4. FYI you left her name in the bottom chart for the month of July...

    Thank you...Jessica

    Hi @jugar! I think the formulas to calculate the pounds lost are messed up on the August Downsizers spreadsheet. Thanks Linda

    I think all the probs are straightened out! It is weird sometimes how the formulas get wonky during a copy/paste, a new month, or a data sort. And then there are the ones I forget to move like ac204!

    Keep me posted if other strange or forgotten things appear. Thanks!

    Hi there ~

    Please excuse @Mrsbell8well this week for vacation and me too @1theresamcvean


    Thanks!

    Hi again ~

    This time my request is to put @Mrsbell8well on cheer squad as she has a serious back injury.

    In my note above about my vacation, that will be for this Thursday only. I won't be near a scale at the end of the week.


    Thanks!

    Hi @jugar! Can you move jenmurphy3’s weigh in day from Saturday to Monday? I have entered her weight for this week. Thanks!

    @jugar - Just an FYI that I made a note in the MOD column for week one on the buniphuphu weigh in. I wanted a reminder for myself to follow up with her when she got her new scale and I didn't have another good place I could think of to put it.

    Hi @jugar! The percentage of loss is not calculating right in row 18. Thanks!

    no problem - that would have been a cause for calling 911 on her if it was real!

    @jugar So... the new scale is here and she (and I) need some guidance on how to move forward. We think even her starting weight may be wrong as her current weight on her new scale is up 10lbs from her starting weight. Thoughts on SW or week one weight?

    Thanks much!

    The easiest thing is just to change the starting weight to whatever you think is right. Since it does not matter what it was on week 5 in July, just go ahead and change both the starting and week 1 weight to what seems right according to the new scale. So take week 1 as it reads on the new scale, and take a wild guess on starting! Have fun :wink:

    @cafelelia and @1theresamcvean -

    On Team WeightNoMore, you have Missymouse75. She mistakenly posted in WaistAways today, and asked to change her weigh-in day to Thursdays. She weighed in at 169.6. You had already posted a week 1 weigh-in for her on Monday at 168.6. I have changed it on the spreadsheet to 169.6, but it might be a good idea to verify that with her.

    It's her birthday today! Hopefully she will be back with you shortly :smiley:

    I changed scales a few years ago and the new ones were heavier, too. I waited till a new month and sucked it up and took the ‘gain’. It really sucks!!!!

    If her new scales are 10 lbs heavier than other scales, like her doctors scales, then I would consider returning them.... they could be improperly calibrated.

    @Beka3695 - I am checking in early on milestones as I need to leave for vacation in a few hours. We have none to report. If that changes tomorrow, I will try to post again. We have a few who are extremely close, but no quite there. Congratulations on your amazing double milestone this week! Wtg!!

    Thanks Lisa!! I will check for the weight related ones - like under 225/175 etc.

    Yeah, I'm pretty stoked today!
