Oh, this is a good one!! I needed to hear this today. A few months ago I prepared many of these photo posts as inspiration for our team. I have them ready to go through the end of October. So, when they come up it's also good for me too. It's like I'm reading it for the first time.

There are no rules. I am hoping that you will reach out to one another on here by commenting on each others' posts. Then when the other hasn't been posting to find out what has happened to your buddy. And by your accountability to each other in our team thread, we will be inspired and encouraged by your support. I randomly…

@skullsandskeletons ~ Great! I have you down to be a buddy. :) @Jactop~ Drats. You have (me too) lost it before, you can do it again. We’re not giving up!! @goodreadsgal~ Good job on your Tuesday of tracking, being under calories, and 1hr walk! Yeah, you!! @midsummer174627 ~ :) I will pair off buddies, yet this morning. I…

aaaaaawwwwww! Thanks! Just when I feel like I've bailed on you over the last couple of weeks. But I KNOW I need this as much as you all do. I'm not giving up, not giving in. We are in this together!!! And you, my friend... are doing fabulous! Keep working hard and being that example! Thank you!!

@AB0215~ Thanks for the help posting weights. I'm supposed to be helping you, you have way more to do than I do. I'm back on the thread daily. I'll holler sooner if I need help again. Thanks so much!!

I was going to buddy up our RTM teammates, so they could check up on one another. I'm not sure of the rules of posting in other team's threads either.

@angiesjourney~ You are not too late for the buddy system. I’ll match up tonight or tomorrow morning. :) Hopefully, we get a few more people. @jwall309~ I think losing slow is great versus the yo-yo of big loss/ big gain. You are going to keep that off. I gained in the month of August. :( And you’re overall attitude w/…

Thank you! Yep... I have you on the list to match up with a buddy. Just thought I'd give some oldies a chance to be matched up with some of our newbies. :D

/Here are some statistics for AUGUST 2019 as Team @RunTrackMinds… 24 (71%) out of 34 registered, stuck with us and weighed in every week. 18 (67% ) of the 27 members loss or stayed the same in the month of August for a total loss of 64.7lbs, see the breakdown of how much we loss below and below that our total net loss: 2-…

AUGUST 🏆 We are doing so so good as a team and as individuals each of us losing!! As a team, we have finished in the top three consecutively in the last FOUR months. 🏆 🥇May in first place 🥇 🥈 June in second place 🥈 🥇July in first place 🥇 🥈August in second place 🥈 How awesome is that!? Let’s see if we can finish in the top…

AUGUST WEEK #5 OUR top three for August week #5 had a total loss of 7.4lbs 🥇 1st - @skullsandskeletons. - 1.38% loss of 3.0lbs 🥈 2nd - @germaine_yee. - 1.35% loss of 1.8lbs 🥉 3rd - @Mawash9. - 1.13% loss of 2.6lbs

BUDDY SYSTEM..... LAST CHANCE I see that only newbies signed up. Last chance for anyone else to get a buddy to be accountable with and to encourage and challenge each other. Sometimes it helps when you are specifically looking and reading one person within the team to help each other out. We of course want to encourage…

@slytherclawz~ Nice loss. Yeah, you for getting in those workouts!! When I get stressed about all that I have to do… I take a deep breath, make a list, prioritize it; then remind myself… I can only do one thing at a time. Then try to focus. I hope you have a great getaway. @midsummer174627~Saturday…. Yep. It’s funny how as…

Please help me in congratulating @Pearl4686 for stepping up to be co-captain. She has decided to help her journey by encouraging all of you, too. I think it will be great. It's a win-win when you're helping others. It makes one more mindful and accountable. Now, you will have two of us cheering you on! So please say "Hey!"…

@Rozbee1 - Glad you are sticking around for another month. Let’s do this!! Oh no! You’re in the hospital. Sorry to hear. I hope this is cleared up for you soon and you’re up and back at ‘em fiercely. @angiesjourney & midsummer174627 - We’re excited, too!! Glad you’re part of our team! @skullsandskeletons~ I like your short…

A few days late. Username: johicks Week: Sunday, Sep., Week 1 (9/01) PW: 248.4 CW: 249.8 Need to get my head back in the game! Be here for the team daily! (Which helps me keep my head in the game.)

@mawash9 - Also believe that this was meant for you first weigh-in for September. As you did have a weigh-in for Week #5- August. Sorry, it does get confusing as we switch over to a new month. Mawash9 PW 228 CW 231😩 Just completed a fun weekend of wedding festivities. I am hopeful this is mostly water retention ( let’s…

Sunday August Week 5 (8/31) PW 219.8 CW: 219.2 Didn't do great, but consistently small loses. September should be better. I have more privacy now at work. I'm not in cubicle land anymore. Moving tomorrow to a quieter spot. @Toyota100 - I copied this over from August. I believe this was meant for your Sunday weigh-in for…

Thanks for offering to be co-captain. What is the new username? I may looking with tired eyes, but looks the same.

CONGRATS! A stay the same isn't bad. I hope you agree. :) LOL Water .... No we are not. We know it's not an easy task when you're busy at work. I'd love to see you post an average or an idea of how many you drink and post that either daily or weekly. Then maybe it will be more of a reminder / commitment. !??!? I already…

It’s September and we’re going to make this a great month! It’s time for a fresh start. Summer may be coming to an end, which means the air is crisp and fall is a great time to get back on track and keep this lifestyle and healthy mindfulness going strong! Let’s do this RunTrackMinds! As my teammates know from previous…

KUDDOS ON THE LOSS!!!! Got the weigh-in date change noted. Since you weighed in on Sunday (Aug. 25) for week #5 August and you have changed to Saturdays, your next weigh-in will be week #1 on Saturday... Sept. 7th. Why? Because the challenges go weekly from Sun. - Saturday, so August ended Sat. 8/31 and September start…
