IgetfitNStrongforme~ 91 lbs. is AWESOME! Great job!
CakeBatter~ I totally have TOM right now also and am fighting with myself constantly about food.
Cape Breton Chick~ I used to be crazy active too, but just like you, slowly went down to just work activity… We can push each other!
So I have TOM right now which I am going to blame for my flop at McDonald’s last night even though I know it’s really an excuse. But for now, until I get stronger, TOM will probably be one of the hardest times for me to get through. We’re going to be hiking today, so I should get in a pretty decent work out in! The Cheezy chili mac was AMAZING last night, and I had plenty left over for lunch today, plus I froze 4 more containers of it for later on. I’m going to try to make one dish/week, freeze some, so I have a variety of choices within a month or two…
Will the Red Team have a Food & Exercise Thread, just for the Red Team member’s to encourage each other and helps us be accountable? Does anyone know who is the team leader for Red?

I'm leading the red team this challenge. As far as the food/exercise thread, we have a new thread for chatting each week. Also, I will post exercise challenges.
Trying to get some chores done thins morning and then going over to my sister's house this afternoon to play with her kids. Tonight I go to my weight loss group. Fingers and toes crossed that I lost some weight. It has been a particularly emotional few weeks for me and stress = eating.
Hi Angela! It is amazing how we slowly (and unknowingly) make lifestyle changes that lead us to ain weight. With all of the support here, we will succeed!
Hi MrsVegan - UGH working at a bakery! I would love to spend the day baking but the oh so delicious smells...I wouldn't be able to resist!
Amber- I, too, am a stressed/bored eater. Try to replace it with a hoby or exercise. YAY on the 2 mile walk!
Hi! I did pretty good on the eating front yesterday (stayed under my cals, ate only one veggie, but had two fruits). I didn't get in any exercise though because it was midweek visitation with my siblings (my mom is divorcing Dad and has temporary custody, I live with Dad) and my Grandma was there. But today I'm going to exercise no matter what happens! I always tell myself that I shouldn't be selfish, and that it isn't really that important that I can't miss a day or so, but I start to get cranky and mean if my routinue is messed up too long, so it really is better for everyone if I just get my exercise done.
Dad and I both work full time, and we are used to having dinner ready for us when we get home, so living on our own is quite an adjustment. I'm going to try doing freezor meals, where I make a week's worth of meals at one time and freeze them, then we'll just have to pull them out of the freezor and heat them. My first cooking day will be Friday afternoon, and I'll let you know how this works out.
Hi Red .. our team leader is RangerChic... hope your having a good day!
Hi Cape Breton Chick,
I am having a great day! Has anyone told you look like Brittany from BBL in your photo, you're so beautiful? I am looking for Red Team exercise buddies to help keep each of us accountable, would you interested?
Red
GO RED TEAM!

Hi Kim,
Thank you so much and hello. Hey I am looking for Red Team exercise buddies to keep each of us accountable, let me if you are interested. I am so excited I think we are all going to lose lots of weight on our TBL.

Hi MonteCristo,
Good Morning! I love your username that was one of my favorite books growing up. I am sorry things are so stressful for you right now with everything going on. I can you from experience things will get better.
I was wondering if you might be interested in being Red Team exercise buddies to help keep each of us accountable, let me know? I am asking everyone on the Red Team, I think easier when we cheer each other on.

So far so good today! I started reading Winning By Losing by Jillian yesterday and it has instilled lots of thoughts into my brain and kick started my motivation! Brought lots of fruits and veggies to work today!

Good Morning Red Team. Not much new with me today. Still off on vacation (until Monday - YUCK). I have a work dinner to go to on Saturday so am going to try to make good choices. Normally there aren't many healthy options. So maybe I should eat some carrots and a fruit before I go and then just watch my portions. We'll see how that goes.
I have decided not to weigh myself until we WI for the challenge. I just want to see if by watching what I put into my mouth and writing it down if I can do this. I think that without the stress of the scale for the next couple of weeks this may just be a little easier to get into the swing of things.
Better go for now. Gotta go to the fish market to get some fresh fish for dinner. Be back later.
oh hi! Just realized I am on this team! Ummm not really sure how the whole Biggest Loser challenge thing works (I've never watched the show) but I'll do my best!
Good morning Red!
