Hi guys! Joining in this week.

I am going to try to focus on increasing my fats a little bit. I don't eat low fat, but I'm hoping a conscious effort to up it a little might cut down on my impulses to grab something, anything, to eat mid to late day. I cooked some tofu and veggies in coconut oil today to that end.

264 pounds today. No big surprise. The scale always shows it when I do nothing but work straight 12 hour days. The stress alone prohibits my health- trek.

Better luck this week. Much luck to my team-mates. Happy Monday. Happy April 1st.

Hey team! Easter Curses or April Fool's on us all?

Anyone up for more interaction on a day to day basis? I have to be honest, I tend to forget about this unless a thread shows up in my recent posts.

Hey Team, been resisting posting this because I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses. But since we are talking more support and interaction, why not? This week (and this past weekend) were very tough on me due to emotional stress. The emotional stress will probably lessen a bit after the next couple of days, but it's been hard to be conscious of what I should be eating, hard to plan and prepare foods, and I've been working like crazy and waking up after little sleep so I know my hormones are all off and it's hard to get energy.

Whew off my chest. Hopefully I will get things on track and things will settle down. Thanks for hearing me!

Hey there. How bout if we try that thing Jillian Michael's says (or is it Bob?). If we find ourselves wanting to eat mindlessly (trust me the majority of my calories lately are mindless), wait 20 minutes. if it is still something we thing we have to have I think she says have 3 bites and walk away. Go back to work, or do something. Then after 20 minutes IF we feel like we have to have another bite, go for it. Now I think I paraphrased but you get the idea. I work at home and can get so bored, I completely understand. Today, if I find my self going up and down the stairs to eat (I am going to do make it a work trip). Like take a load of laundry or unload the dishwasher. By doing that I think I will take my mind off the actually eating of my boredom Good luck today everyone

Yeah, rough time to be around anywhere because everyone has left-over candy either to get rid or on sale. My daughter wanted more and I got her somethings and did not resist myself. It killed my calories. I played with my goal numbers today and am going to try to just eat fresh for the rest of the day. One day at a time.

My protein shake gets me all the way to lunch usually. It is protein, almond milk, half or whole banana, and pb2 now. it is amazing.

Good morning all,
Food wise is fine, I bumped my calories down because I am having trouble making time to move. Being Friday I have a little more freedom with work and the weekend should be fine.

Have a great day everyone.

Hello All - - I am down to 219.5. I lost 1.5 pounds

that's so awesome. YAY. Good job.

Oops I didn't even realize he was posting those! Thanks for the heads up.

I know this gets old, but I'm sorry I've been a drag as a team member. I'm struggling to get motivated despite having all sorts of motivators in my face reminding me to get with it and not seeming to do it anyway. I'm starting to feel like our team's wooden leg, and I really am sorry.

Thanks Teri! How is everyone doing?
