    MODS, RaeWats would like to come back to TrimStones. What do you need her to do? She popped in and made a posting in the chatroom. I tried to check the August chart to see what her weigh day was, but she's not listed...let me know what you need me to do.

    MODS, she would like to do Thursday weigh ins and current weight is 204.4. May I go ahead and add her or would you rather handle? Let me know.

    Hi!
    @jugar TasCascalho is going on vacation and he will not be weighing in again until the 25th of September. Can you excuse him for the missed weigh ins?

    @Beka3695 Tazaria87 has reached 100 pounds lost. What an amazing accomplishment!

    Thanks ladies!

    Yo Captains!

    I'm searching for suggestions for next week's challenge - if any have come up you'd like to see happen, let me know!

    I'm struggling this morning. There are many gaps in the weigh-ins on the spreadsheet. Mission Slimpossibles - please get your act together! Trimstones - several misses, and a person who asked for a day change a week ago. If you have to take some time off as co-captain, please let me know! I do not mind going through another team chat to record weigh-ins as they come in while you are away or otherwise unable to record. But I do not enjoy having to do it all at once on Sunday morning, especially now that the MFP search function no longer works in the groups (grrrr, don't get me started). Sorry to be crabby, but it really helps if things are in order by Sunday mornings (8 am Eastern). I'm happy to catch the last few that weigh-in late during the night on Saturdays. I'm not happy having to trawl the entire week...

    edit - I have just finished with Slimpossibles - one thing that might help a lot are some reminders about weigh-in days. New members especially need this - daily or every other day, give a heads-up to those coming next. It might help avoid having 10 NWIs in one week :grimace:

    @jugar Please switch VERYHOTMAILS/Trimstones from NWI to LWI. She reported in this morning. Also, when we see missed weights, what would you like us to do. I usually make a posting on Saturday nights asking for people to fill in, but this week, I didn't have time. I'm dealing with family in the hospital from a bad car accident. I had updated everything on the chart up until I went to bed which was around 730pm. Didn't see a posting for requested day change except for the one I did request this week for RaeWats when she rejoined.

    I'm not perfect, but I think I do pretty well most weeks/months. Thanks for your help. If you want me to write something in the missed spots, let me know what to mark.

    You DO great most the time! When you're having a rough week like this one, never hesitate to ask for help! As I said, I really don't mind checking up for weigh-ins on any team and putting them on the spreadsheet if you're having a week of craziness and it is too much. I'd rather make sure you have time to send messages to your team instead of having to worry about the spreadsheet when your time is tight.

    I just figured out the confusion about the person asking to change days. It was marysia2609. She was in the team twice - you had added her to Sunday already, as she requested, but she was was still there on her original day as well. I moved her to Sunday this morning, since I was looking at her "old" day. She ended up being in there twice. Please always ask for day changes - then I know and there are no confusions. Thanks!

    So sorry @jugar !! Just getting back in the swing of things today. Had a family medical emergency over the course of four days. I should have made contact earlier but it was chaotic.

    Hey @jugar -

    There's an issue with the percentage calculation in the spreadsheet for the Goal Zone section. While it works for the first week, the formula is incorrect for the following weeks (probably just a copy and pasting error).

    I'm sorry too - I was being cranky, and you were having a really tough time. Another lesson learned :heart:

    I know. I have to keep fixing this every month it seems. When I make a copy from the template, which I have checked a million times, it always seems to end up weird. Oh well! I'll keep looking for ways to make it work :smiley:

Take some time to look around on other teams than your own, and if you see something you'd like your team to try, suggest it! Or if you think of ways we can improve communication, reward the right kind of progress, or make the community more welcoming and effective. Spill!
