    Do you want to be the team motivator?: Yes, but I don't what that to be my 'function'. I can come up with workout playlists!

    This is an AWESOME idea!

    @sharkweek 8 pounds seems an achievable goal :) are you following any specific diet plan ?

    Just watching what I eat and sticking around 1800 calories. I'm aiming for a little under 2 pounds a week. If that doesn't turn out to be achievable, I'll revise the goals. I have a pretty complex weight loss spreadsheet that projects calories to lose/maintain and projects long-term loss based on a healthy rate of weekly weight loss, and sets quarterly goals based on it. (In case it's not obvious, I'm a huge Excel geek!) I've lost weight before my life got crazy stressful, so I've got a decent idea of what works for me... here's hoping it works as well the second time. :)

    I had a Chobani Greek Yogurt with Passion Fruit for breakfast, and I don't normally eat breakfast at all, so this was sort of new for me. lol

    Hey team, it seems like all of you guys are sleeping when i am up :P this time difference is a strange strange thing, so for monday i had omlete wrapped brown bread for breakfast with milk. I forgot to take pic, oh well. Today is my gym day, i'll be walking to my gym instead of taking metro to fill up that 1 km walk.

    @MargaretLunan You can do it :) if not a kilometer try for half a km, even if that's difficult how about .25 of a km.

    @kittary You added grapefruit to oatmeal or you ate these separately?

    @makenchange what's a protein bar?

    Team, youve done awesome first day, so 1 day down, 34 days to go! Let's rock n roll

    @makenchange what's a protein bar?
    It's basically like a candy bar with added protein. Not my first choice for a meal, but fast and easy to eat on the run!

    Your weigh in day: Friday
    Favorite exercise: Walking, yoga
    Favorite healthy food: Does guacamole count?
    Struggling Areas (night snacking/lack of motivation/ junk food etc): Popcorn and beer!
    Do you want to be the team motivator? (Yes/No): Maybe in the future- I am a little late to this as it is

    Nice to meet everyone! Please feel free to friend me. @SmurfBunny1027 - that sounds like a good breakfast! I usually eat breakfast but the last couple of weeks I've been skipping it as I'm trying IF. I'm a little hungry until lunch but otherwise I'm less sluggish and it helps keep my calorie count down.

    it is not serious she is almost 13 and almost every month she complains of an upset stomach for a couple days and a slight fever. i have spoke to the doctor and we both think it is to do with her period that she has not started yet
