Welcome to March! Be sure to do some Spring Cleaning this month - anything we need to chuck overboard?
Any ideas for freshening and renewal? Post away, oh Captains

We made it through February! Some teams did well, some not so hot. Let's work on it! This month's first challenge is based on consistency - inspired by Team WaistAway's co-captain @micki48 It is a familiar kind of challenge - tracking the exact numbers of 2-3 things of your choice every single day. Just being consistent. And having alternatives if your plan gets derailed. Protect those numbers all week! Consistency is like a muscle - the more you do it, the better it gets. Good luck! Here is the link:

I put this in the February Chat last night so I thought I would put it here in the March Chat
Captains could you check up on your new people that have not introduce themselves to your teams? ....maybe add them as a friend and send them a message ...Thank you0 -
This was posted in the February's Captain's Chat so I thought I would move it here
TheresaM787/TrimStones was removed from our chart, but she just reported her weigh in...there's a note in the margin of the Mar chart that says "to DM"...did she request to be moved to a different team? If so, did she forget and report in with us anyway, or was this move done in error. Please advise what I am to do with her weigh in...thanks!

She replied to my message... She doesn't know how it happened but she noticed that she is in 2 groups on F2F and asked what she should do to correct this? I told her to let Jessica or Jugar to remove you from Trimstones if that is what you want to do ...Hope this situation can be resolved soon 0 -
So, I noticed some oddness for @goingape's weigh ins this afternoon. On the 14th, she asked to be excused and on the 20th, she posted a weigh in of 148. Both a day earlier than her weigh day, which may have thrown some things off. Can we list her as excused on week 3 for Feb and remove the NWI for week 4?0

It seems that there was one posted for week 3 but not for week 4, so shouldn't week 4 be excused? In any case, the NWI is gone, and all is well going forward.0 -

I'm confused, though. Did she request to change teams? I was assuming that she asked you, Megan - and hoped that she had informed Jess. I guess that everyone is confused
At the moment, she is only in one team - Downsizers. In the Feb. spreadsheet she is still in Trimstones, because moving someone's stats from one team to the other in the middle of the month does not work well. I moved her for the beginning of this month. If she does not want to move teams, let me know and I'll put her back! 0 -

@Jugar yes on our March Registration page ...She put her information on page 1 (Feb 21st) and put the Downsizers team so I put her on our team ...I asked her to ask you or Jess to remove her from team Trimstones if that is what she wants and she said okay thanks0 -

@jugar @Megan_smartiepants1970 Well over the weekend, she sent me a friend request and reported in on the TrimStones March Chat page her weight for Sunday. Guess I'll just ignore that weigh in...did she report in at the other group too?
One of the MODS should sent her a note and try to straighten this out I think. For now, I'll just stay out of it so as to avoid confusion.

She is wanting to be on team Downsizers and she apologizes for all the confusion0 -
@jugar Please move @1theresamcvean to the cheer squad? She's overwhelmed with work and has several very ill family members. Her most recent weigh'in is 149, if that matters.0

Hi @jugar
We had carmenduncan9575 join late for the March challenge. She is a Sunday weigh in so I am guessing her first weight will be this Sunday. I didn’t carry her weight over as I wanted to check with you. We haven’t seen her yet so hopefully tomorrow.
Just a reminder that littleflutterby needs to be moved to the Shrinking Assets spreadsheet. We are missing quite a few weights this week so I am hoping they will post later. I will check the chat early tomorrow morning for them.
Thanks!1 -

I hope carmenduncan9757 shows up - but most likely she figured her starting weight was for this past Sunday and she won't weigh in until tomorrow. Send her a quick message to be sure she knows. Thanks!
I had moved littleflutterby but forgot to remove her from yours - it is done now. I hope everything goes well for her and that all your missing weights will appear magically!0 -
Hmm. You could make another spring cleaning challenge -- what's one healthy food swap you want to make this week?2
-
I'm pushing to eat more veggies and less chips @AustinRuadhain , but I consistently fight against the crunch...I don't eat sweets but maybe once or twice a year and usually that involves fruits, but chips I just can't break away from...so I have to buy the single bags and just limit them. Nothing seems to go as well with a sandwich than that crunch.
Keep saying I'm going to try and make my own, as my favorite ones are the low salt as they taste more like potatoes, but I just haven't found the time to make some in my air fryer. Someday!
Good question...

Let's make this the week 3 challenge - we're ready for the Equinox on the 20th. Spring for us up here, Fall for our members down under. Unless you meant this for your team? I think the whole F2F would enjoy this one.1 -

Oh, definitely use for all, if you think it would be fun!
Here's a nice article, if you think people want ideas. I found it looking for a good graphic (and like the picture).

@jugar
We just had a late weigh in by 363days. I updated the weight in the spreadsheet so can you change it to a late weigh in.1 -
Our Week 3 Challenge is up and ready for you! A bit of healthy cleaning, anyone?

One more, @jugar !
Please move Kellie, KellieLou412, to the Cheer Squad. She's having a time and needs to take a break from the scales for a bit.
Thank you!0 -
Greetings Captains!
Hard to believe, but here we are in week 4 and it is time to gear up for April. Please be sure to contact your support team people so that we know who is coming back onto the regular team as soon as possible - it makes a big difference in team assignments as new people register.
Recruitment needs to be somewhat intensive for April. We are a bit down in numbers, and each team will be adding several new people. Some help in finding great candidates is always appreciated! Please share the link for the sign-up thread with friends, respond to some message boards if you see someone looking for support, etc. I'll be posting the link on your team threads. Thanks!0 -
Hey @jugar -
Just so you're aware, there is an issue with an Android system update that prevents people from being able to open the MFP app. This could cause quite a few NWIs this week for folks who use MFP solely on their phone and have recently had the update.0 -

Oh no! Thanks for the heads up. I have not had any trouble on my android up to now, but the update rollout might not be on the same schedule in Canada. Let's hope that it gets fixed fast.0
