    Please include Name (if you don't feel comfortable, just your screen name), current weight, team color & two of the following three choices: 1 thing you struggled with this week (can be anything that is anyway related to your success here on MFP), 1 thing you a grateful for in your life, and 1 tip (something you do that helps you, whether it be diet related or exercise related).

    Jenny, CW: 183.2. Green Team.
    One thing I struggled with this week was finding time to workout. I work two jobs for a total of anything from 12 to 14 hours a day for five days of the week.

    A huge tip is pack all your meals the night before. I do that so there is no chance of failure. I know I can only eat whats in my bag and nothing more. Helps me stay accountable.

    Hi!! My name is Christy and I am on the Green Team. I weigh 195.5.

    Ugh, One thing I struggled with this week and all weeks is the weekend and eating out. I know I did horrible this weekend. It was my husband's 30th birthday and I threw him a surprise birthday party followed by a night out with alcohol. I have a hard time cutting out the eating out in my life because I have been losing weight steadily with it. Sooo no motivation to cut back on eating out right now although I know it isn't very healthy! Monday is the start of a new week and I am determined to do better this week!

    My obvious answer for what I am grateful for is my beautiful daughter. She is the reason I am on this journey. And, my super supportive husband who is also losing weight. However, I am also super grateful right now for finding a gorgeous dress this weekend that looks good on me for my 10 year reunion coming up :wink:

    Good luck to everyone green AND purple!!

    Hey everyone, I can't wait to get to know you all, we have a pretty large group of people here, stick with it and know that YOU can do this!

    NAME: Kim, not too far off my screen name :P
    WEIGHT: 210 lbs
    TEAM PURPLE

    The one thing I struggled with this week was getting my workouts in. I need to up my game with that this week. I am grateful for my husband, without his support with so many things in my life I would truly be alone in this struggle, I appreciate that most of all.

    Name: Mandy (monkeyfood)
    Current Weight: 215.4
    Team: Purple
    This week I'm struggling with motivation, I only lost .2lbs in a week so that has been discouraging. I also have been fighting the kitchen at night. Once it hits 10pm my brain thinks it needs something unhealthy.

    Hi everyone I'm UltimateLover, my current weight is 160lbs. I'm on the green team, yay :) I have struggled with keeping motivated this week. I seem to want to snack a lot this week.

    One tip for everyone is to join a team if you can. If you don't show up, you are not only letting yourself down, you are letting others down as well. Good luck to everyone :D

    I'm team green!!

    My CW is 163.2

    I have struggled with being sick this week. It puts a damper on exercising and eating.

    My one tip is to COUNT calories. It's all math. If I really keep track of everything I eat and my exercise, then I am good to go.

    My name is Kim I am on the purple team and Sundays weight is 190.8

    I am eternally grateful for the support of my husband who likes to eat healthy himself so he doesn't mind the lower calorie and lower fat foods. In fact, I rely on him to do almost all of the cooking for our dinners during the week. :-)

    My one tip would be to count the calories, good or bad, track them. It keeps you accountable and makes you aware of whats left for the day and possible how hard you need to work out to make up for that little guilty pleasure you just can't do without sometimes.

    To all my Team Purple buddies, please feel free to send me a friend invite.

    Hope everyone has a an awesome week.
