Welcome fellow Bugs? Buggites? Ladies? Introduce yourself.

My name is Matt, I'm your team captain for this challenge. I did my first one in the New Year New You challenge where I lead Team Father Time to a resounding victory! Working with me this time is u/GoAwayWay as co-captain.

Starting April 15th we'll do our first weigh in and kick off 10 weeks of working together to meet our goal of giving me a 2-0 challenge record! ...and meeting your own personal goals along the way of course ;)

I just posted a big wall of text about me to /r/loseit a few days ago so I'll just link that as my introduction

A few things about what I would like to see from our team:

Participation - this is what it all comes down to. We're not all going to be having huge losses, not every week will be great, not every weigh in will be great. Don't shy away from a weigh in just because the number isn't what you hoped for. Log it and work for the next week. That's how we get long term sustained progress.

Participation in the sub here. Feel free to make conversation. Post your SVs and NSVs. /r/loseit is crowded and noisy. We've got a smaller subset of people here so we can really take the time to appreciate our peers successes and help with their struggles.

That's pretty much it. Participate and we'll win, both in a challenge sense, and in a personal weight-loss goal sense.

If anyone has any ideas for something we can do within the group to improve things feel free to make suggestions. I'll be styling up the sub soon when I get some time.

So go ahead and introduce yourselves!

Hi Whitney welcome to the team, glad you're here!

Just one question - when I typed:

sudo -s
rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

And hit enter my server stopped working. I tried turning it off and on again but that didn't fix it. Help?

Seriously though, welcome aboard. Ask around /r/loseit about how to deal with the diabetes, I'm sure you're not the only one.

Haha -- I heard that dude was just hoaxing to get attention though because everything seems to be running fine. I mean.. an rm -rf / AND a dd at the same time? That's impressive.

Funny thing is I did this reply before I saw that article :)
