Ok team Cut the Caboose--I am writing this morning with a heavy heart.
I don't know what's happened to our team. I am happy that some of you are posting here
or pm'ing me with your statuses, but disappointed that there are others that don't
and I've had to chase them down via pm messages. Some have replied, some have not.
So, here's the deal....
I'm no longer chasing people to try and get daily/weekly statuses.
I'm not trying to be a hard *kitten*--we're all adults here.
I understand we all have lives outside of MFP, but as adults we should be holding ourselves accountable
and be responsible for the commitments we make--whether in relationships, careers or MFP--challenges or otherwise.
Thank you to those who are continuing to do the challenges. I had thought about giving up as team leader
because it was a bit overwhelming at first--I had to catch up on some things. However, I made a commitment--well 2 actually.
1) I committed to do this challenge and
2) I committed myself to be a part of this team and I don't want to let YOU down.

As I've said before, you guys are AWESOME & YOU ROCK---I've meant every word. I am very proud of you!!
If you're going to continue this challenge with me, Let's Do It & Kick some MAJOR booty the rest of the month!!

On that note here's a message from Gary6030 (Head Chief of the Tribal Challenge) this am:

Good Morning MFP Family. Today is a great day! Many of you have reached out to me stating I've been somewhat absent on here.....I have been. Like most of you I've been overwhelmed with work and more so my social life. I wasn't thinking on how life was going to change with the kids back in public school and all the activities they have to be with. Then my wife started working and is absent in the evening. So that puts me as head homework, bath, dinner guy. I'm still pushing forward. I'm still working hard. I mean I have to right? I have to run through Hell this Saturday! If I can do this and exercise so can you! keep doing the challenges and bringing it! If your team has fallen apart that doesn't mean you have to! If we need to regroup in October and do this differently we will! In the end its not about your team....its about you! RAISE THOSE SPEARS AND REMEMBER YOU ARE A WARRIOR! You are doing it! I'm getting several stories from people telling me they've lost more weight in September than they did in June, July and Aug. put together! These challenges work folks! It's time to kick it into high gear and see this month through! WOO HOO!

so i got my water in my calories are under but i was wondering if i didnt do my challenge exercise can i do them sunday? if not i cant still squeeze them in to night.

it wont mess up our points will it? hope not

and i want to say thanx for trying to keep us in takin responsiblity. it is our responibility. u r not our keeper. and i think u r doin a fabulous job. i love the challeneges. i hope we do them next month to and u r my captain. thnx again girl u are fabulous. keep it up and keep kickin our A$$es.

Sorry team, my doctor said I sprained my foot so I need to take it easy for a few days.

That's ok sweetie, you do what you've gotta do. rest that foot & hope you heal quickly.

I don't want you guys to feel bad if you miss a challenge.
You've been doing GREAT!!! Life happens--unexpected things come up,
emergencies, family things... that stuff is uppermost.
We didn't know when we signed up for this that these things were going to happen.
We're not the only team with injuries or illness. So please don't feel bad about it.

The challenges should be fun.
I don't expect you to be like work horses.
I am VERY PROUD of team Cut the Caboose.
We have been kicking some major butt.

Truth be told, I wasn't able to finish my challenge yesterday.
I got 2/3 of it done and was planning on doing the rest after lunch.
I got up to walk to the kitchen and my knee went out on me & was sore the rest of the day.
It irked me but what could I do?

If you're sick or have an injury that keeps you from doing the challenges....
It's OK. Rest up, take care of yourself and do what you need to do to get better.
Then when you feel up to it, join back in.
There's still plenty of time left in September.
Get well soon :flowerforyou:

Completed food and water requirements. Completed Pygmy challenge.

I did not do the challenge yesterday: calorie or exercise... It felt good to get back on track today.

I didn't get any exercise (regular or challenges) yesterday.
My knee was still bothering me from the day before.
BUT... I WILL get my buns in gear for today.

i lost 2lbs this week. i am so happy. :drinker:

Way to go!!

Sorry team... I did not do my exercise challenge today.
We've had cold weather move in and it's affecting my breathing.
(I have asthma).
About 7 years ago I had my first episode.
I was brought into the ER and they diagnosed me with reactive airway disease.
But I haven't had insurance in over 2 years so I don't have anything
but a rescue inhaler which only helps for a little while.
Hopefully I can get back on Advair soon.

my mom daughter n sis have asthma. and i no it can be horrible, and i m sorry to hear that u r down. u get better. and i did all my challenge, water and calories and again lost 2 lbs. happy dance i m doin. sorry.
