    @Chalmation I sent you a message...I'll post here as well. When you weigh in tomorrow, can you include your weight from last week as well, clearly marked...so I can have both a previous/start weight and this week's weigh in. Otherwise, I'll have to use tomorrow as a start weight and then use next week's as the first weigh in for November. My fault...I should have asked when you requested to move back from the support team...apologies!!

    @jessicakrall8 Thank you for the virtual welcome! I'm looking forward to this challenge. I've been struggling to lose some weight since I started to strength train, but I just started eating better two days ago and logging my meals. I think this challenge will show me a lot since I'm very competitive and HATE losing...or in this case NOT LOSING. Can't wait to get started!

    Hi Jessica! No, I don't have a walking tracker: my preferred movement is yoga.

    Ramblings of the day
    Good morning team. My Friday was alright. I did laundry, picked up a package and got groceries. I decided to walk to the store for some easy steps. Didn't do much else. The package I finally got was a new jacket for Tinus of the Milky Way. I think it looks really cute on him.
    Happy Saturday <3

    I’m happy with staying the same. I really struggled to get my portions and choices back on track after our weekend away.
    Have a great weekend everyone.

    @izzyred9400 Nice loss this week WTG!!

    @ssssseika that little gain will go away quickly...keep on keeping on!!

    @CasandraW Way to maintain!!

    @Arc130 Some weeks are just a bounce back...you'll get back on track! We're rooting for you!

    @FoolishJoy No worries, I always check with my new members to see if they're walkers...Yoga huh? I don't know much about it...sometime please share more. How long have you been doing yoga and have you found it helpful?

    Hope everyone is beginning a super weekend!

    Today is the last day of Week 5 of our Captain's Challenge...(cross posting this in both Oct/Nov chatrooms)

    My focus this week was on Water Intake...did really well with it, even when including a few other caloric drinks, like milk. I still struggle with this, as I've never been a person who can drink something when NOT eating...with my meals, I can drink a lot, but not alone. Working on it. I'm a work in progress! I did really well with everything else...portion control, food choices, really great with walking/exercise as I finished my October goal of 28 intention miles and daily step goal of at least 6k...very proud of that! Enough about me...
    • What did you learn in week 5?
    • What was your struggle?
    • What was your triumph?
    • So, what will your focus be for week 6?
    • What are your concerns about your choice?
    • What is a mini goal in relation to it?
    • What do you hope to achieve overall?
    • How will THIS focus help you in planning?

    This week (Week 6), I will focus on Exercise as I'm kicking off my new goal for November of 30 intentional miles! I'm really loving it!

    Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Captain's Challenge. Newbies, jump in with us...there are several weeks left... I'll post the chart tomorrow and you can begin planning for your Week 6! Keep up your great work!!

    @ncfitbit I added a column to the weight/step chart for first names...I had the same issue with trying to remember names (which I'm awful at doing anyway)...hope this helps...some haven't given them, but I try to fill in when I can...especially in the step chart.
