Here is your Team chat room for September 2021. This is where you weigh in every week, post your goals and progress, discuss any issues or topics of interest, share ideas, support your teammates, receive help when you need it, and dream big. Try to post often, and help each other succeed!

We have six great teams. The group and team leaders are as follows:

Our Moderators:
Liselyn - @jugar
Teresa - @TeresaW1020
Megan - @Megan_smartiepants1970
Ashley - @minstrelofsarcasm

Our Team Captains:
Downsizers - @lindamtuck2018 and @Megan_smartiepants1970
Mission Slimpossibles - @broncobuddee and @TeresaW1020
Trimstones - @mulecanter and @jessicakrall8
Weight No More - @minstrelofsarcasm and @melaniedscott
WaistAways - @jugar and @ashleycarole86
Shrinking Assets - @Beka3695 and @TheMrWobbly

Our Team Motivators:
Downsizers - @TheresaM787 and @Poobah1972
Mission Slimpossibles - @AustinRuadhain @katmary71 and @trooworld
Trimstones - @angmarie28
Weight No More - @rachelrjh
WaistAways - @conleywoods
Shrinking Assets - @hipari

HOW IT ALL WORKS:
Every challenger weighs in on their chosen day, every week without fail! At the end of each week, the tallies are done to determine the team and individuals with the most weight lost. The best losers are announced with full fanfare every Sunday. The team competition is all in good spirits - may the most losing win!

We also track those small, steady losses with the Green Week count. If you lose, however small an amount, it counts for 1 week in the green. At the end of the month, we celebrate everyone who lost every week. You are heading steadily towards your goal even if you aren't at the top of the weight loss leaderboard!

To make your weigh-in easy to find for your team Captains, please put it right at the top of a message, and use this format:

Username
Weigh In Day:
PW (Previous Weight):
CW (Current Weight):

If you miss two weigh-ins in a row without asking for a break, you will be dropped from the team, so be sure to inform your team captain if you are traveling, sick, or just need some time off. If you take a break, you are moved to the Support Team. You can remain on the Support Team for as long as you need to. You still participate in the discussions, you can weigh in if you want to, but it will not count in the weekly tally.

Once you reach your goal weight, you join the Goal Zone! You continue to weigh in every week. If you have 2 weeks above your self-defined goal zone, you go back to the regular team to lose that amount before it builds up. You will have a chance to hone those maintenance skills and stick with your team!

In addition to your own team, there are weekly F2F Full Group CHALLENGES. You can do all or none - it's up to you. Participating adds a lot to your success, so we hope to see you there often! These can involve anything fitness, health, or nutrition - and they’ll get you moving, thinking, and learning about this journey. Check the Announcements section for full group challenges.

Let’s show our fellow challengers some F2F love! Introduce yourselves right away, and let the new month begin!!

    Considering yesterday was my birthday and I might have had a treat or two this loss is good :) Plan for this week is to continue getting exercise back on track. I need to bring ALL of the pieces of this weight loss puzzle together at the same time. If I say that to myself enough times hopefully it will manifest! ;)

    I am Beka, your Team Captain.

    WE NEED A SECOND CAPTAIN. IF YOU ARE INTERESED, PLEASE DM ME!!!!!

    I am 44, married, mom of 2 daughters, Mimi of one amazing grandson, and human mom to 3 fur babies. I live in the beautiful mountains of Northern Georgia.

    I started my journey 3 years ago at 242 lbs, lost down to 174 (-68 lbs) and maintained almost 9 months before gaining back to 232. It is only failure if you quit... right???

    For my second time around, I am currently down about 55 lbs from my highest...

    I took off a several weeks of logging to help get my head out of my @$$ and regain control of my drinking. I was happy to see that I actually lost a pound for the month!!!!!!

    STATS
    Age: 44 -- 45 later this month
    Height: 5'7"
    Highest weight: 242, November 2016
    Current weight: 187
    Goal Weight: SEXY AF

    September Goals:
    Just a copy and paste from prior months...
    - GET MY HEAD OUT OF MY *kitten* AND LOSE SOME WEIGHT!!!!!!
    - Reduce my binging
    - Reduce intake of sugary foods
    - focus on consistency of steps.
    - Stay alcohol free

    If you have not already, feel free to friend me. Please make your diaries open. Your teammates (umm - or me) might want to borrow your ideas that keep you in check

    Hi everyone!

    I’m probably the only one, but I’m super excited for September to be here. The heat wave made me despise summer, plus September means my maternity leave starts in a few weeks and I’m that much closer to delivery and meeting our baby.

    I’m 29, live in Finland with my husband, and I’m currently in my 8th month of pregnancy expecting our first child, due in late October. I have 3 more weeks of work before maternity leave begins, but I’m on part-time sick leave until then.

    My September goals are:
    - get everything in order so I can start maternity leave without worrying about work
    - reduce sugar intake (I’ve been hitting the chocolate candy pretty hard lately)
    - Increase fruit, veggie and berry intake
    - try to get a little bit more fresh air and exercise regularly

    I’m fed up with being so sore, out of shape and struggling with basic everyday routines, so I’m already excited to be cleared for exercise postpartum so I can rejoin the team, start working on this baby weight and lose some of this pre-baby weight as well. I’m going to be on maternity leave for about a year, so I’m excited to spend that time focusing on both the baby and myself.

    Hello Team! My name is Patrice and I’ve been a part of the ShrinkingAssets team since June 2021. I started using MFP in December 2019 and started really building the habit of tracking my calories and exercise in March 2020. I started with an overweight Body Mass Index (BMI) at 168 pounds and now I’m within the ‘normal’ range. My goal is to weigh 125 pounds. I’m 5’4 tall so that will put me in the middle of the BMI range and then I hope to maintain my weight at 125-130 while working to add muscle.

    I joined the Fat2Fit group because I felt a bit stalled at 135 pounds. I’m fine with the slow rate of loss now that I’m so close to my goal weight; but, feeling accountable to the other group members helps keep me challenged and on track. I appreciate the insights, support, and encouragement of our team!

    Here are my current stats as we start September:

    Weigh in Day: Thursday
    PW: 127.8
    CW: 126.8 (as of 8/25; fluctuating 125.2-127.0)

    Hello Fat2Fit Team Members!! :)

    Do you eat too much sugar? Is sugar hindering your weight loss and health goals? Could sugar be a real addiction for you as it is for so many? Or would you just like to learn how to moderate your sugar intake a bit more? Then this challenge is for you!! Join today our 30-DAY QUIT SUGAR CHALLENGE and take the pledge for the next 30 days to reduce or eliminate your intake of refined and added sugars.

    It stayed mostly dry which makes a change for a national holiday weekend! Had a lovely walk down at the beach with the fam, nice bike ride this morning, cooked all weekend to give my SO a break, it was also nice to sit around the table together.

    Back to work tomorrow which is good as too much of this fun thing and I might get used to it :wink:

    Hope you all had a good one!

    Hi fellow shrinkers! This will be my second month participating in the challenge. It's so helpful to be in a group like this where I can be accountable. Last week I was struggling a bit and wrote a blog post about it. Here's the link if you think it might be helpful. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/coblujay/view?id=the-weight-loss-grumps-a-twelve-week-update-995464 After figuring out what was going on, I'm back on track and ready for this next round. Even with the frustration I experienced, I'm planning to make this the last time I have to focus on losing weight...maintaining will be its own struggle when the time comes, but I plan to get there.

    PW 235
    CW 233.4

    Yesterday was swimming and a good walk with my dogs, which added about 700 calories to my bank. I don't usually eat back all the exercise calories, but love having the extra cushion. I also focused on drinking my water and eating early. Hoping for another good month.
