I'm in for yellow - I'm an optimist, I'm happy and I love the promise of a positive future - it's good enough for me. Although every bone in my body would have said blue, I want to branch out - be different!!!

yay - a team mate! We can both do this! And although I love some snow (not as much as fell in your neck of the woods last week) I too want some wamth and sunshine

Do we have a leader yet? My schedule is really busy, so if anyone else wants to step up it is OK with me.

Ok - I'll give being team leader a go - not exactly got a huge amount of spare time so it will be a challenge but maybe that's just what I need! I'm going to turn your question on you though - what would you expect from your leader? Not promising I'll meet everything but I'll try!

And Gloria - welcome to the yellow team

I could use some optimism in my life, mind if I join in the team?

Hi Jane - I tried to put my weight 297.2 on the spread sheet, but it is only in view mode for me. I also tried to print off the spread sheet, and I could not. Is anyone else having this problem. I am not that computer savvy. Are we going to forward our weekly totals to you? Please let me know.

ok - here's how I've made it work. Mine opens as view only but if you go to the 'file' drop down menu, you will see the option to 'make a copy'. Click that and it will open in a new web window and you will be able to edit it. Save it to your bookmarks and when you re-open all your changes are still in there. Whether this is the best way, I don't know but it seems to work!

Forward your weekly totals to me each Sunday and I will combine in to a team sheet and forward on.

Hope the above makes sense but let me know if not

BTW -- I downloaded the spreadsheet to my laptop, uploaded it to google drive under my gmail account, and then opened it in edit mode using google docs.

Woohoo - a bonus point for choosing our team leader

So are we ready for this team yellow? It's Monday morning and my day can only go up - my little boy has been up most of the night with a raging temperature so I've been doing shifts looking after him with my husband. Now at work with a cup of tea and a glass of water - challenging myself not to hit the snacks and unhealthy food just because I'm tired!

Looking forward to you guys checking in - lets do this and see how we get on at the end of the day

I'm ready! Almost done my midnight shift and managed to avoid the snack machine and even got in some exercise and stretching! I'm going to hopefully get in a walk when I get home before I hit the sack

Hopefully your little guy feels better, nothing worse then watching your kids in pain

Thanks Cassandra- on way home as nursery have sent for me, he's got a temp of 40.2

Oh no! A cool bath might help bring it down a bit but hopefully whatever he has is just passing through and he'll be back to his old self tomorrow

Good morning team yellow. Good to hear and feel that we are ready for this challenge. Jane, thanks for the computer help. Hoping to hear of "less" from everyone next Monday.

Good morning! I'm hoping my "more" goes as well as everyone's "less"

Evening team! Well, I've had an interesting day - part expected work, part unexpected childcare but we've got him to bed so fingers crossed! Patti - I agree this has already had a positive effect - there is a bar of chocolate in my bag that I would normally have eaten, likely on the train to pick my boy up. But today - well, I don't want to miss out on my sugary treats points on day 1 and let the team down - so it is still in my bag . Not sure I'll make my veg target today so must do better across the week - happy with fruit intake though.

Gloria - no problem, hope it is all working ok for you now.

Hope we have all had good days and here's to the rest of the week. See you all tomorrow

Good morning all - well here anyway, I have to remember I'm in the UK! Am I the only UK girl here? Apologies for any time gaps in communications if that is the case.

Working from home today and hoping my little boy gets through the day at nursery - I'll be working tonight to make up hours if he doesn't! Bottle of water on my desk and hoping that I might even sneak in a workout later today - remind myself how tough Jillian Michaels can be on my legs

Have a good day all and catch up later.

Morning Jane! I whipped together a spreadsheet for everyone to use with tabs for each person to update and have one place for you to look instead of having multiple people messaging you. If you'd rather not use it thats fine I just thought it migbt be easier https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zsC_OsoBtJNv-iILju2KZrCuhDoMc-qKk3MDGYFpPek/edit?usp=docslist_api

Thanks Cassandra for the spreadsheet -- brilliant idea! I like Google docs I just have a hard time getting used to not having to "save" what I've entered.

So how did Team Yellow do on Day 1? I earned 32 points for the team.

Here's to everyone having a successful Day 2.
