@AB0215 hi i have a question. are we going to be weighing in every sunday? because i did my first weigh in yesterday (thursday). im asking just because id prefer to step on the scale only once during the week, so im not discouraged if i dont lose much....1

@rafaelaxxxx you only use the same day every week, so if it’s thursday it’s thursday2

Anyone know how to bookmark our group? On the previous page it said something about a star turning yellow. I’m not seeing a star at all.0

It is kind of annoying how bad access to the groups or discussion you are in is! There must be a smarter way to get here in like 2 clicks 😅2 -
Found a way, there is a bookmark icon at the top next to the group name; just click it and that should have it earmarked when u see the quick links under my bookmarks.3

@Jerkulez Thank you so much! That was very helpful1

Hi everyone,
My name is Michelle. 44 years old from the U.S. I'm 282lbs and 5'4". I had gastric sleeve surgery in 2019 lost about 88 lbs and gained it all back. I was so disappointed in myself. But, I have restarted again with making healthier choices. So I am ready to be healthy. I look forward to getting to know my team mates. Good luck!! Have a wonderful Sunday evening.2 -

You bookmark discussions, not groups. If you click Groups at the top of the page, you'll see the groups you've joined. If you click one of those groups, like The Biggest Loser Monthly Challenge!!, you'll get the group's main page. On that page, below the intro, you'll see Announcements and further down Discussions. Listed under those headings are all the discussions for the group. If you look to the right on one of the listed discussions, you'll see not a star but a little "bookmark". Click that bookmark and it will turn blue, indicating that you've bookmarked it.
Once you've bookmarked some discussions, you can click Discussions at the top of the page, and on the Discussions main page, look to the right under Quick Links, and click on My Discussions. You should then see a list of all the discussions you've bookmarked.

H2O>72 oz. NO (56 oz)
Exercise: YES: | TDEE: 3,732 | STEPS: 8,106 | GIM: 0
Daily Comments: Feels good to be able to move around with minimal discomfort. Pain is almost completely GONE!! Now that the worst is behind it is time to get re-focused on losing. Pretty happy that I was able to maintain and not gain after surgery...should make getting back on track easier (in my brain at least).

How to make The Biggest Loser Challenge more “user-friendly”
- Don’t keep losing us!! If you’re here reading this now go ahead and bookmark this thread at the top right of the page; then we will always appear in your “bookmarks”. Once you’re in MFP and have clicked on “Community”, your “Bookmarks” will be on the Community’s landing page. You’ll also be able to click your profile picture and find “notifications” from your book marked pages.
- Want to respond directly to what someone posted? At the bottom of their post click “quote”, scroll down and you’ll see their message prefilled in your text box and you’ll respond below their quotation.
- Need to get someone’s attention? When you’re typing out your post you can put an @ symbol in front of their username and that will tag the person, they’ll then see a red “notification” when they go to click on their profile picture to get to their bookmarks.
- Still confused? Its ok! I’m here helping out the moderator/captain for the time being. Please feel free to tag me, or click on my name next to this post. Go to my profile and send me a friend request then you can send me a message, view my food diary or just be a friend 😌
Oh yeah and Welcome to this amazing support group!🤗

ABOUT THE CHALLENGES & REQUIRED WEIGHT POSTINGSWe are going to be running a daily post challenge or MUAC(Mini Ultimate Accountability Challenge) Based on another MFP Challenge called the UAC
Participation in this challenge is optional but highly encouraged for the following reasons:
- Helps to keep your goals in focus daily
- Motivating to see others working on the same things and having the same struggles too. It's defintely a reminder that we're not alone and we are a team
- Many of us who participate and have successfully lost weight, would all agree that the daily posting MUAC really is the key!
The way it works:
#1. Track EVERYTHING you eat that has calories.
#2. Stay inside your allocated daily budget. (you set your own budget)
#3. Try to do at least 20 minutes of activity a day (anything: walk, run, cycle, swim, gardening, housework, yoga, gym, etc.. As long as it gets you active and off the couch)
#4. Check in daily (tracking yes/no, calories yes/no, exercise yes/no).
****End of the week. those who have managed to keep to plan for 6 out of 7 days are recognized in the thread as being part of the weekly "Winners Circle". This introduction was delayed, so I’ll start tracking for Week 2, which begins Sunday, March 6th
Your posts should look like this:
Daily Post (Sunday)
Track: Yes/no
Calories: Yes/no (were you under)
Exercise: Yes/no (what type and how long)
Goals/Day/Comments: (Tell us a brief description about your how your day went or your goals for the day)
Please post your weight on your scheduled weigh in day, as if you miss weigh-ins, you may be eliminated from the challenge and we don't want to see that happen!!
Your posts should look like this:

Week 1
PW =(previous weight)
CW=(current weight)
Also, if you have any suggestions for the team or fun ideas to spice things up a bit, please feel free to share them, we look for new ways to help engagement and keep people motivated!!
