If you love RED, join this team!

"Red has more personal associations than any other color. Recognized as a stimulant, red is inherently exciting and the amount of red is directly related to the level of energy perceived. Red draws attention and a keen use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element.
HOW THE COLOR RED AFFECTS US PHYSICALLY
Increases enthusiasm Stimulates energy and can increase the blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat, and pulse rate Encourages action and confidence Provides a sense of protection from fears and anxiety"

    Ok Lady in Red - looks like you need a teammate. Red is a great color - I like the description of "stimulates energy" - I can always use more energy :). Looking forward to this.

    I wonder if communicating here would be considered comminicating with someone from you team? What do you all think?

    I have made us a document to keep track of our progress on. It is basically a copy of what has been posted on the site, but there is a tab for each of us on it. You may use it everyday if you would like to, or you may enter your numbers once a week on Sundays. It's all up to you!! Please have all the information entered before 8pm pst. so that I can pass the information on to RedVelvette!

    I will send you each a link to the document so that you can access it. If I haven't sent it to you it is because MFP is being difficult and not letting me send messages. Please try to message me and I will be able to reply back to you with the link.

    Mondays are hectic for me. Thanks @goingforahundred for stepping up to the plate. I love the spreadsheet you made for the team. I think I need your approval before I can add my info. in.


    I am so excited to start this challenge. I have had such a hard time to get back on the healthy wagon since the holidays. I have gained about 10 lbs since then. Yikes! Today I have stuck to my eating plan and drinking the water but I don't think I will be able to squezze a workout in.

    I think that I just allowed you to be able to see/edit the document. Please let me know.

    Yup! Put in all my numbers for today. This so much easier. Thanks @goingforahundred

    It looks like everyone will have to request permission to be able to edit the document. I will permit it as soon as I get the request. I don't know how to do it any other way! Sorry!!

    Good morning my fellow Reds! Love the positive vibes!

    Yesterday was good with food and water. I am going to commit myself to do a workout today.

    Hi Shea, I played with bringing up the spreadsheet - so cool how you created tabs for each of us. I'm not very techno savvy - do I request permission to edit here in this thread - or do I somehow have to request permission from that site - if that's the case - throw me a clue how to do that - thanks!

    I have no idea how to do it!! You might have to ask vasquezmom7. She is able to enter her numbers now and she somehow was able to request permission. I am sorry that this is such a pain!! I am not tech savvy enough to know how to fix it.

    Hey there.....Lady in Red..... aka @vasquezmom7!!!! Would you please be so kind as to explain how one goes about asking for approval to access that google doc!! I don't know how to do it so I can't explain it!!

    So, today was probably not one of my best days. Not a total bust, but not the best. I stayed within my calorie range, but did not get in any exercise and have not had enough water yet. I am determined to get the water in before I go to sleep!! I blew the majority of my calories on a subway sub. Yes, an entire sub. There is no reason one human stomach needs that amount of food in it, and I did it anyway. I was with my daughter and it turned into a rather heated discussion and before I knew it the whole thing was gone! Not gonna lie, I am disappointed. But, I stayed under for the day so that is good.
    I hope that you all had a good day.Till tomorrow....

    Yesterday I went a little over my calories, but not bad overall. I earned 12 points. I'm going to try to make today go a little better. So far I'm off to a pretty good start. Everyone have a great day!
