Mission Slimpossible Team Chat - AUGUST 2023

I’m ready for September! Beautiful day here where I’m at and turned off the AC yay! Have to write out my goals still and post them later. But I think tracking daily is a must, and say no to junk food.

@broncobuddee just a question. I’ve always posted my starting weight as when I initially began on MFP. Is it supposed to change month to month?

@SleepGirl73 - Sorry for any unintentional confusion I generated. Actually, to your point there are two starting weights tracked.

There is your initial starting weight when you joined F2F, as captured by the F2F moderators from your sign up request. It is on the spreadsheet tab labeled "TopStartWeights". That is used in calculating Loss To Date (column AB of the monthly Slimpossible's tab in the F2F spreadsheet).

Then there is a monthly starting weight. If you are a continuing/returning team member from the previous month, this starting weight is your weigh-in from the last week of the previous month. If you are a new member, this is the starting weight from your sign up. This "monthly" starting weight is represented on column D of the Slimpossible's tab in the F2F spreadsheet. It is used to calculate your loss/gain between the previous week (last week of the previous month) and the first week of the new month, or if you are new, your loss/gain between your sign up and the first week.

A lot of people include their "TopStartWeights" value (the one from your initial sign up) in their weekly weigh-ins - which is great because it can show how far you've come.

Hope this helps but knowing me, probably not...

Let me know if this generates other questions.

The referenced F2F spreadsheet is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fYD2mHNY_Z6FRCMVvAoPJpwxEhsXkb9imLu6OVG5m7U/edit#gid=2032789470

Hey everyone! Just a few questions..

When does the actual September challenge start, on Sunday or Monday? And we will have a new September discussion thread?
And do we just post our weights here, or do you want us to add it to the spreadsheet as well?
When I posted my starting weight, that was my weight from the day I did the sign up post (Wednesday), can I have it updated to my Tuesday weight as that will be my weigh-in day? It was 94.8kg (209.0 lbs)

Also, I'm a day ahead of most of you as I am in Australia, so while it's Friday afternoon for many of you, it's Saturday morning here. Just in case anyone wonders why I'm posting my weekly weigh in on what might seem to be the wrong day 😅

I hope everyone has a good weekend and good luck this month reaching your goals!

@sleepygirl79 I'm glad you got that run in!

@micaroo4 Woot woot go you, you're doing awesome!

@trooworld Oh no that's way too tempting to be around all the time, I can see why working from home is easier!

@gemwolf110 Love that photo, happy September!

@steffibabiie There will be a Mission Slimpossible September thread starting soon for this month and everyone will do intros in it which will help A LOT for getting to know everyone. The challenge if you mean No Junk started and you're welcome to join in at any time. You just post your weights here, you can see some examples of that above your post. Tag @BroncoBuddee (like that with the @ at the front) and let him know you'd like to change your weigh-in day. OK I can't answer the time difference one, I'm guessing it may be easier to say you're checking in Wednesday but for you it's Tuesday but I'll let you and BroncoBuddee solve that one.

I have a friend who lives in New Zealand and I'm always telling her to make tomorrow extra beautiful for all of us following behind, now I can say that to you too. Have a great weekend!

Hi friends, starting to feel a little better. I deliberately stayed home resting thinking I was going to the garden club tomorrow but it's postponed until next weekend. I did do light strength training and stretching today and that felt great. Did good with food yesterday so I'm not doing as bad as I was thinking. I'm supposed to be having the fence stained and back door repaired but am not sure if it's still happening, I'll have to trap the cats in my bedroom so I'm not looking forward to it! Doing great with no junk. I'm planning on a trip to the farmer's market in the morning for some fruit, figured I deserve a little yummy healthy food since I can't eat a lot right now. Have an awesome Saturday!

@Katmary71 thanks! I actually just meant the main challenge. I don't really have an issue with junk food, so won't be taking part in that challenge.

As far as the weigh in day, I want to keep it as Tuesday, though when I make my post it will be Monday for most of you. I didn't think it should be an issue just clarifying as to why it might seem like I'm posting early

Should I still tag @broncobuddee with my updated starting weight of 94.8kg/209.0lbs? I guess I just did anyway!

Thanks again x
