BLUE TEAM!

Options
Hi everyone! Thought I'd follow suit and start a thread for all of us Blue Team members. I hope we can stay active on in touch here since I know I do much better as part of a team than I do by myself. Let's do this!

As a little introduction, I'm Amanda and need to lose another 48 pounds – joined MFP at the beginning of the year. My goal is to drop 25% of that during this challenge. I work full time as a research director for an ad agency in Dallas, am married and have two elementary-aged children. Please feel free to add me to your friend's list.

Best,
Amanda

    Hello Blue Team!
    I've only been using this site for about two weeks now and love it. It definitely keeps me in check with my food choices. I, also, do much better in a group setting with some competitive edge to it to keep me honest throughout the day! Over the years, I have consistently gained weight and am officially over 200 pounds so it's time to pay attention to my health. I would love to lose 50 pounds as my long term goal but during this group, I would like to lose at least 20 pounds! I work full time as a juvenile probation officer so it's easy to grap a "snack" on those stressful days!
    I wish everyone the best of luck and I have faith in our team!! Feel free to add me as well! I do better with people watching me! :-)

    Hello everyone!!!

    I'm Roberta and live in Dallas with my husband. I joined MFP in June 2011 and dropped the ball. I joined again in February 2012 and have lost 30 pounds. I was diagnosed with diabetes in January 2012 and had to make a lifestyle change. Joining this group, I will get even closer to my goal. I know we all will give 110% and win this challenge. :happy:

    "Health is Wealth"

    Go Blue Team!!!!!!

    hey, I'm Mauri,
    Resident of Sydney, Married with a 11yo B and 19yo G
    Started back on my weight gain recovery in January this year and now 2-3 kg away from reaching goal. Not going to add too much to the loss for the team at this stage I'm afraid, but happy to provide support and encouragement to others.
    Good luck everyone.

    My name is Dannell. I have been with MFP for nearly two years. I have lost weight using this before without exercise but I am dedicated now to eat more healthy and exercise. I have been diagnosed with the early stages of High Blood Pressure. I am looking to lost at least 25% by June if not 20% of my weight. I am starting at 230lbs. I think my first week will be a big lost but i don't think it will be reproduced. I am excited though... please add me if you want but i will be staying in touch through the discussion boards

    Question of the day: How do you get through the late afternoon munchies without giving in to temptation?

    I keep a big container of sugar free gum in my office and chew, chew, chew, blow bubble and repeat. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.:tongue:

    I try to pack a bag with healthy snacks the night before to bring to the office. I also keep a box of Fiber 1 bars in my desk, and when I remember pop a bag of popcorn and take a cupful. This of course works better if I leave the full bag at home and only take the cupful into work with me.

    I hear ya! I'm 42 with an 8 and 11 year old that I'd like to see grow up. Getting to see any grandkids would be amazing! We can do this. Just take it one day at a time. What I have to keep reminding myself is that this is now a lifestyle change that I carry on throughout the rest of my life. We'll have our ups and downs, but that's just the way life is. The point is to not let the down days win.
