    Sounds good. I'm collecting all the silver team weight on the tread I created. Will you be able to collect them all? Or do you just want us to report if all our team members checked in etc?

    Gold team captain is BRETTO. Make sure you friend her and I'm sure she will contact you. You can put in your weight info at the original thread

    The most important thing today is checking that team members are checking in. No numbers to crunch or anything. Today we will have a set team at the end of the day and know who is committing to doing this for the month. Make sure to send a note to encourage anyone who may have lost track of the days. I will message you tomorrow if I notice someone has not checked in to see if maybe I overlooked it. Otherwise, think of this first check in as the roll call for the team.

    First off: GO YELLOW!!
    LOL
    Second: How do I creat a closed topic/group for my team?

    Third: one of my members created an open topic and I had random people join the "group" What do I do? kick them off or just not count them???

    fourth: If I creat a yellow team group can I post a topic? Since I created it? Just curious cause I still can't post in our current group???

    Fifth: well... I guess that's it.

    Thanks!!

    Teal, someone said they were on the teal team but didn't show up on your summary (sarac_007).

    I had everyone check in for my orange team, although I think they all did it on the orange team thread and not on the original one. I did mention to them to make sure they check in on the original one, but I guess some haven't yet? I just wanted to let you know that my whole team did check in (even though not at the right place) :)

    Thank you to all of the team leads who are putting so much work into this thing! I know several of you have gone all out and kept track of who weighed in and who didn't on your team. If you can post it here and send the info to scheherazade315 that would be awesome. She is going to track all the stats for us to help determine the weekly/monthly winners. If you have a couple who missed the deadline and still want to get their starting weight in today, we can probably let it slide. If there are people on your team who are not responding to messages, we will probably assume they have decided not to do the challenge. (no need to keep bugging them). If any of you are having any trouble or just don't have time to search out what your team posted, let me know (I have a teenager I can put to work :smile: )

    Thank you again.

    And even though I want to say GO PURPLE, I am very excited about this RAINBOW of women making a change in their lives. Some of the posts on goals for this weeks challenge are amazing!

    I have to find jsanderson12 I saw her check in n my page.
    Tabuchheister responded but didn't weigh in so I want to send her an email
    Reba62 didn't respond or check in. :((

    Are you going to make the excell sheet or the group challenge available to everyone so they can see how the teams are doing?

    Soooooo, got a message from Steven in tech dept. The group rooms are now up and running. I guess each team can decide what they want to do, group vs open thread. One advantage to the groups is you have to be member in order for people to read the info. But we seem to be set up okay the way we are, now, too. Let me know what your group decides and if you have any problems with the groups.

    Thank you!

    I say we move all the teams to the group room so we can see the other teams doing the challenge. If we just invite our teams members then we can have a closed group.

    Following is the link to the Google spreadsheet I created.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Au1muqv4ws9fdDFsbW5OeHpMbkRKdVZQSlVadDF3dEE#gid=18

    I am missing one entire group, Magenta. I may have missed people that checked in early. I'm going to double check.

    Team leaders if you can take a look to make sure I caught everyone, I'd appreciate it! I created a tab for each team.

    Thanks!

    The Magenta team captain if seriousbusiness40, and I think she collected all the information. I counted 10 people who have checked in with her, so please contact her.

    I guess another question is what you team captains think the best way to check in next week will be? I am thinking check into your original groups and then post the final info here? Or I can add scheherazade315 to all of the groups for data purposes? I think having everyone check in on the original log was a little rough and we had a lot of people who weren't members of the group jump in (by the way, if you feel your group is too small, you can go through some of those and first come, first serve-- just message me who you want to invite to your team.....)

    Thank you all!!!!

    Avoiding having to look through the main thread would be great! If the team leaders could post all of the stats here, that would make things easier.

    Also, I saw at least one person have a goal of losing over 10 pounds in May. Do you think team leads should double check those goals? I really want everyone to set realistic and attainable goals.
