Riddy, congrats on getting past that 100 mark...such a huge accomplishment!

Mel, Happy Anniversary to our fearless leader and her hubby!

Bigmid, better weigh in BEFORE that DQ treat on Sunday!!

Elizabeth, great job and thanks for all the encouragement!

Hi everyone -- Good news -- I'm down again to 278.5 ....and went to gym, and have stayed on my eating plan for 2 days....completely -- no cheats....

So the weigh in is Sunday....GO REDDDDDDDDDDDD!

Looking forward to the challenge -- all pumped up for it....I knew that getting involved with Red Team would help me sort this out and get on track and it did....

Everyone remember to weight in!

Hi everyone! Sorry for not posting much this week. My grandfather passed away while we were visiting, so we stayed longer for the funeral. I have gained again and am disappointed, but will get back on track next week.

Hi folks- our last weigh in for this challenge is today!
Remember to post befor the deadline.

For those wondering, we will have a mixed (general- open to everyone) chat thread until the next challenge starts.

Selway- sorry to hear about your grandfather, thinking of you & your family.

Elizabeth- hooray for being on plan! Can't wait to see what you accomplish as an 'official' member

Let's go red! Hip, hip hooray!

Oh crap, I hope I made the deadline. I'm so jetlagged that I dunno if I'm coming or going!

Hi everyone -- another good day, feel focused.

Thought: Food is only food -- it really does hold an extraordinary power over us at times -- and it's power that we give it -- by itself, it's only a thing, a substance, necessary to sustain our life. Having been OP only 3 days, I'm just amazed at the difference of eating what I've planned versus grazing and eating emotionally. Oh, I always think a lot when I'm not emotionally eating....I FEEL more when I'm not emotionally eating...

Anyhooooooo, hope everyone is doing well.

Selway -- my condolences on the loss of your grandfather....poor sweetie :hug:
Don't beat yourself up over any gain, you'll get back on track...again...:hug:

Shanhat -- jetlagged? (handing shanhat coffee and a clock)....hahahahaha :rofl:

Canadamel -- thanks a bunch...really looking forward to the challenge, to see what I can do in that block of time......thanks for all your efforts to keep our team going....:hug:
