This might be a dumb question, but why not keep the team chats in one thread per team? Why move them?

Thanks for the link! Yup, I use a Macbook. Everlasting, you're so inspirational as a team leader for me. I started where you did and I've had some trouble breaking through. It's so great to see your progress

I'm hoping for a good week this time. Last week I was not on board with eating and exercise and plus over the weekend, celebrated a friend's 21st birthday. Eek! Hoping to get back in the swing of things here again.

I was thinking the same. Maybe someone could just post a note in the thread after the end of each week indicating "End of Week 1" or "Beginning of Week 2" That way we all know what week we're on, but we don't have to track so many threads if someone happens to post in the wrong week. Thanks for looking into it.

You're welcome. You mentioned not being able to right click... I had that problem when I first got my macbook too.

To Right Click on a Macbook:

> Click the Apple Icon menu at the upper-left corner of the screen
> System Preferences
> Keyboard & Mouse
> Check the box that says "Place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click". It's located under "Trackpad Gestures"


Now whenever you want to right click, hover over the area or object, and keep two fingers in contact with the trackpad while you click anywhere on the click pad. You'll get the normal right click menu options. If you have any trouble or anymore questions feel free to PM me.

Gah, forgot to weigh in yesterday. I was out of town pet-/house-sitting for my best friend and her family, so I couldn't really even weigh myself (I trust no other scale but my own). I entered my weigh-in for today anyway, but it's late.

I hope to get to 255 this week or lower. I can't wait to see the 240s again. So close yet so far away...

Good morning girls!! I weighed in at 161 this morning (a 1.4 lb loss since my Friday weigh in - not sure how, but I'll take it!) Hopefully it will stick or i'll lose a little more by this Friday (my BL weigh ins are on Fridays.) The word of the week is "WATER". I've already had about 24 ounces this morning and its only 9:30.

Just a quick question since I am new to the challenge. When we do our next weight-ins, to get the percent do we still use the starting weight or the weight for the previous week? Example:

Start weight is 299 1st week weigh in is 297 = .67% loss... Do I do the next calculations using 299 or 297?

Sorry If I confused you :/

I was going to post that you should be doing it from your original weight, so you have a constant updated number for your total loss. Then, I realized I don't know if they want to see individual results for each week, since they tend to have "winners" for the biggest loser on each team every week, then they (or we) will do the math at the end. Good question.
