    @jugar -

    Can you move bumpbreakcar to a Wednesday weigh-in, starting next week? Thanks!

    She is moved, and her Sunday weight is already there for this week - can be revised if she weighs in again.

    I have had really good results with asking for high weights. This will also help with our monthly celebrations and take work off your plate. If you have not, please post a request

    Thanks!!!

    Mea Culpa up front. I'm catching up on the Top Starting Weights tab. I put my original starting weight in and then I tried to copy the formula to my row on the monthly entry sheet (Trimstones) and it doesn't calculate my weight loss. Can you help me? Also, for the rest of my team should I be collecting those start weights and filling in that other sheet? I know there was an original message about this which I just glanced at and now can't find.

    All you need to do is put the starting weight on the new tab. Don't touch the formula on the team spreadsheets and it should work like magic! I think you might have enough answers on this issue now... :smiley:

    It's working now, not sure if someone fixed it or it just took some time to process.

    Hi @jugar

    Cyndie, cyndiesstuff, has requested to be removed from the group. She says it's "not worth" the time - I sent a private message to investigate, just in case it is something that could be remedied. I'll report back.

    That's too bad! She was such a stalwart member for so long. Let us know what you find out, thanks! :heart:

    That would be great - I'll be working on the new spreadsheets slowly all week, so any time is good. Thanks! And congrats to her!!

    Hi All:
    Just dropping in briefly to say hello and tell you I'm still recuperating, but getting stronger every day. My left knee was injured right before the holidays and it's been a long journey, but a learning one. I set a strict diet and have dropped a LOT of weight, some of which was swelling, but I'm getting better at walking now. A big thank you to those who've been covering for me during my absence. I am going to attempt to get back into the spreadsheets a little at a time. Thank you, @mulecanter for all of your help and for checking on me periodically.

    @jugar you can put me back in the weigh in spreadsheet now, if you would. Starting weight 326.2. I'll weigh on Wednesdays just like before.

    Hi @jugar

    This was just posted to the team chat. It was from GottaDUMPmyRump. I don’t recognize the name so they must be from another team.

    @lindamtuck2018 I have a medical emergency and need to discontinue with the group. Thank you for everything you've me all. Good luck on your goals.

    No idea who this is. No one of that name on our teams :neutral: Sometimes people change their usernames and don't tell us, so if someone else just disappears from your team, maybe it is the same person?

    I'm so glad you are feeling better, Jessica! Please never hesitate to let me know if you need any more help - it is no problem to lend a hand with the spreadsheets if it is too much for either you or @mulecanter . Especially for the end of the month - keep on healing, and losing!

    I figured it out or should I say Tanya our motivator did. Tanya saw the post before she changed her name. It is iHUSTLE4MUSCLE that is leaving.

    On another note, I received a message from one of our previous members, missGYST and she would like to come back. I asked her to send me a starting weight.

    @lindamtuck2018
    I put missGYST in the support team marked FEB so whenever you get her day/weight, just put it there and I'll move her up for the 1st week of February. Thanks!

    It's the end of month scramble! I will have the new spreadsheets ready tomorrow, and the chats either tomorrow or Saturday. There won't be very many new people coming in for February, so we should have an easy slide into the new month.

    As usual, please check your support team list to see if anyone wants to go back to the regular team and let me know as soon as you can.

    We also have a new co-captain to welcome! @melaniedscott will be joining @minstrelofsarcasm at the helm of Team Weight No More. Thank you, Melanie! I hope you enjoy the fun and games :smiley: Hang out here any time you have a question, a request, or just want to gab.

    Hi @jugar

    When you get a chance can you remove iHUSTLE4MUSCLE and shortyjmorgan1 from the the spreadsheet. You also asked me to remind you to put case0099 on support as she is expecting. I messaged missGyst to remind her to give us her starting weight.

    I have 3 that are probably going to end up on the drop list this week. I have messaged them but no response so far. Do you have any other suggestions for me to try?

    Thanks for the reminders - all set now. As to getting non-responsive people back on track, I cannot think of anything to try other than a message. Are they on your friends list? If not, they won't receive your message, but if they are, there isn't much more to try. You could send a follow-up to let them know that there is an option to change teams if they want to try something different, but generally if someone does not answer, it means that either they have drifted away from MFP altogether or they are more involved in some other group(s) and decided that F2F does not fit into their plans. I know I tried a few groups before this one, and there wasn't anything wrong with them, just they did not fit right for me. Recruit a few more newbies and hope they last!

    The new spreadsheet has been shared - let me know if there are any problems! I'll update the starting weights and put everyone in order Sunday when all the new people, and any other changes are done. Thanks!

    Question for @Beka3695
    Is luciicul still there? I see no weigh-ins for January at all - even in maintenance, that is required :smiley: Let me know. Thanks!

    I think she is gone.... I saw her active on a maintenance only board a while back and was quite active there.

    I may be losing my mind but I can’t find the February captains lounge. Anyway, I don’t see dutchrower on the Downsizers February spreadsheet. They are new. I included them in my weigh in reminder for Monday so if they have been moved to a different team let me know and I will edit my post.

    I still haven’t heard from missGYST. I sent her a follow up message. Thanks Linda!

    Hey everyone! Thanks for the warm welcomes!
    @lindamtuck2018 I don't see a Feb Captain's Lounge either, so you aren't alone.

    Could we add me back to the challengers list? I'll try not to be a horrible warning...

    Do changes on the spreadsheet save automatically or is there a secret save button I don't see? I don't work in Google Docs much (trust issues).

    Changes save automatically - nothing to worry about!

    DawnCumm weighed in late. I changed her weight on both spreadsheets. Can you remove the NSW? She needs to be excused from the week 2 February weigh in. Thanks Linda!
