Whoops! I can see myself beginning to derail the wagon before abandoning it completely. Yikes... back to avoiding shops as much as possible and sticking to calorie limits.5 -

Welcome back! You might not know that Beka has stepped down as co-captain and I have been helping out with weigh-ins and such. At the moment you are not on the team roster, but I'll put you right back in! Is your weigh-in day Monday? Do you have some weights for the last couple of weeks, or are you just diving straight back in on week 4? Either way works, and don't worry - I'm excellent at pestering people for their weigh-ins. Bwahahaha!
Gosh - speaking of which -
Last week quite a few people did not post their weights. Here's a chance to get caught up, and get going on week 4:

Hi, I've been banned, with no explanation. honest, i have not been swearing or posting porn! I was chublet25 and as you can see I have reappeared as chublet24 but they may ban me again. Just didn't want to leave without explaining that this must be some glitch. I can still log in under chublet25 but cannot access the challenges or groups. I really don't know what's going on, and MFP are less than forthcoming. So if I vanish, it's not because I've given up! It's because they've kicked me out!4

This is terrible! If you're still having problems getting any good answers from MFP, let me know. Use email if you need to liselyn@gmail.com I am in a leaders forum where the MFP person who helps us with problems seems to be on the ball and gets stuff done. I could get in touch with her if you need me to. Hang in there!2 -

Thank you so much! I've made a note of your email. I'll give them until the weekend maybe. But it is really upsetting. I know it's probably just a glitch but part of me wonders, did people complain about me, enough to get me banned? Why would they at least not tell me why I was banned? Surely I deserve to know what I've been accused of.
I've found some of my challenges and reposted under my new name.
But it does appear to be messed up. When I rejoined I told them I wanted to lose 12.2 pounds at 2 pounds per week, and they came back and said that I would lose 20 pounds by the end of January. What? I don't want to lose 20 pounds!2 -
Greetings Teams Trimstones and Shrinking Assets!
The past couple of years have been quite a wild ride, and this has had some impact on our Fat2Fit group and teams, as you can well imagine. To help make things better, we have decided to scale down slightly (it is what we do, after all!) from six teams to five. Both of your teams have recently lost a co-captain and it has been difficult to find anyone who can step up to the team leadership, so we Moderators think it is a great time for the two teams to join forces. Your two current captains, @jessicakrall8 and @TheMrWobbly will continue, and hopefully a couple of you will be able to help out as Motivators.
For a while, the team will be larger than the usual 25-30 that we aim for. We will not recruit any new members to the combined team for a while, so you'll have a chance to get to know one another and build a strong community. As always, if anyone wants to try a different team, that is possible as well - just ask. But I think the new combined team will be active, fun, and give the rest of the teams a run for their money!
Since you are the Shrinking Assets (cheeky, cheeky!) and the Trimstones (a wonderfully British concoction), coming up with a new name for the team is a challenge - so, we're asking for your help!
Here are a couple of suggestions:
The Trim Assets
Unrepentant Thinners
I'm sure you can come up with more, or just let us know which one(s) you like best! We want the new name in place by December 1st, so please let your opinion be known by November 30th at the latest.
For right now, your chat threads will remain as they are. Please feel free to visit one another. Here are the two links:
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10847524/shrinking-assets-team-chat-november-2021#latest
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10847526/trimstones-team-chat-november-2021#latest
The first couple of pages of the thread usually include introductions, so you can start to get to know all your new friends. Next month (beginning December 4th), you will have a combined chat thread as the new team. Please feel free to share any ideas, requests, rants, or willingness to help out - this week and next will be your chance to help shape the way things will go with the new team. Thanks in advance!2 -
So I had some time before lunch, and yes I know this is ridiculous:
Fat Assassins
Fat Attack
I guess I am in the mood for an action movie or something, so for the more peaceful sorts:
Lost Cause Crew
Bulldozing Buddies
Weight Mates
Fat Forfeiters
Depreciation Conglomerate1 -
But it does appear to be messed up. When I rejoined I told them I wanted to lose 12.2 pounds at 2 pounds per week, and they came back and said that I would lose 20 pounds by the end of January. What? I don't want to lose 20 pounds!
End of January is 10 weeks away, which at 2lbs/week makes… 20 pounds. They’re just calculating your preferred pace until that time, despite you not wanting to go that far.
A word of warning, though: you probably won’t reach that 2lb/week rate if you only have 12.2lbs to lose, so don’t get discouraged. Slow and steady wins the race and keeps the weight off!2 -
Fat Slayers, Thinpossible, Food Fighters!3
-
Hmm, a new team name, so many possibilities!
The Trim Shrinkers
Shrinkstones
Asset Trimmers
Dunno, this is hard.2 -
Trim Assets is probably the best of the crash it together names. Although, if it wasn't considered a cuss *kitten* Tones would be a really good one lols2
-
Fine! Keister Tones1
-
You guys are fabulous! I am sitting here laughing my head off. When we first started talking about this merger we also thought of Shrinking Stones instead of Trim Assets but figured that would put the guys off! Definitely a no go.
I'm keeping a list. I'll re-post them all together every day or two and then towards the end we can have a poll or something. Keep 'em coming!1 -

Especially happy with this week's results since the food for Thanksgiving dinner is now in the house. I've been tempted, but keep telling myself I can only have it for dinner tomorrow. The challenge will be getting back on track as soon as it's over. I've told my family and friends who are coming over that they will have leftovers to take home of anything I shouldn't continue to eat. Happy Thanksgiving to my friends who celebrate. I'm thankful for a doctor willing to provide tough love, my sister who has been along with me on this journey and all of you here at MFP who offer advice, challenges and accountability.5 -
NEW TEAM NAME UPDATE:
Here are the suggestions so far - if I have left any out, it is because there is some objection (Thinpossible because we already have a team using Slimpossible, etc.), but if I left one out that you really love, bring it back! Trying to stick with two words, three at the most, well differentiated from the other teams.
Trim Assets
Unrepentant Thinners
Fat Assassins
Fat Attack
Weight Mates
Fat Slayers
Food Fighters
Asset Trimmers
Trim Shrinkers
Keister Toners
Laughing Losers4 -

I like Fat Assassins too, but I just thought of something without the violent overtone: Fat Burners. I also like Food Fighters, and maybe Laughing Losers.
