Aiming for the GHGs (Official)

[Cyn]

We are a support group focused on helping each other follow the Good Health Guidelines while losing or maintaining. This is an Open Group.

We challenge each other to track and report on:

•GHGs (oil, fruit/veg, dairy)

•liquids

•Activity

•Points or calories used 

Our challenge to each member is to check in daily for accountability and support. You can challenge yourself to having a specific number of perfectly OP days each week, or some other goal for better 

health.

You can just come for support.

You do not necessarily need to be following WW to join this challenge.

I need to get to the grocery today, but it's uggy out. I've got to bite the bullet and make my tabouli salad and quinoa salad so I've got some nice cold sides ready to eat in the fridge.

It is a steam room outside today. And only getting hotter. BLECH.

Mindful eating: good especially since it was the second of two long days in a row

[Cyn]

I posted a 'we're here' thread on the GDT main discussion board to see if there's any interest from new peeps.

I know some of you were also active on the OTPP or OTSP board. I haven't signed up on their new forum, so could someone post a shout out over there?
Thanks.

[pepper]

Yay! Our spiffy new home!

Good morning!

*peeks in*

Hi folks!

[qmeou123]

I'm here! *measures for curtains*

[qmeou123]

It is Steamy here, too, Regina. *ducks as the Southerners throw grits at me*

So, cane-banging rant, What is wrong with America? I'll tell you what is wrong with Merica.

We went out to eat after the graduation last night, and went to a local tavern type place. It was just what we needed; casual and an extensive, diner-like menu.

When the food came, it was like, YOOOOOUUUUGGGE. We literally laughed at the amount of food piled on the plates. My husband got a hot turkey reuben club type thing, and it HAD to be a full pound of turkey piled on a bun with at least 4 ounces of melted cheese. Oh, and heaped fries. We couldn't even see the plate.

Gah! this is why I don't eat out very often. This makes me crazy.

[qmeou123]

I give up. Someone tell me how you "join" this group.

[wombatthief]

What do you mean "join" Q?

Typically, you post in the thread where others have posted. Preferably with the metrics specified by the opening post. Then someone replies to your post. And you chat back and forth until a new day begins.

But I thought you knew that?

[qmeou123]

There is a thing, somewhere here, that has the Groups that you Belong To. In your profile, perhaps? I was just wondering if that was this sort of thing.

I may be overthinking this. Act surprised .

[qmeou123]

In honor of my anniversary month, I am putting on my wedding dress from 1984!

[Cyn]

Gawjuss, Q.

As far as I know, we are Grouping now by doing the post/reply as V sez.
I think there may be a way to have closed or thuper thecret groups, that could be what you're seeing Q.

Edited to add: I looked in the help section, and apparently there are all kinds of ways to make secret and petition only members groups, and stars and color coding and yeah, no.
Becca and Hols and the other mods would probably (rightfully) ban us if we tried to start something like that. 

****Group question: Are we agreeing to just let this thread run and not do a daily posting?
I want to make sure folks know if you select the NEW icon to the left of the thread name when you're opening, you will be brought to where you last left off.

V and Drunky-hope you'll join us, though it's always nice to have guests. Gadget Girl Regina makes the best baked goods!

[pepper]

Q, so pretty!

[Cyn]

Well, if I bookmark the thread, I lose the little NEW icon which allows me to open automatically at the newest to me thread. FWP growing pains, right?

Thurs
Liquids good
GHGs missing an oil
APs nope, gotta do yesterday's scheduled miles today
SPs 21/30 lotta power foods

Happy Friday, all! 
Have to do a big cook today, and laundry. I need to figure out a better rotation of my running stuff, or maybe take some Woolite to the gym and wash/rinse whilst I'm showering.
TTFN.

[gadgetgirlil]

I'm pleased that I was able to beat back the snack fairy even when I had calories available. It helps that we are out of Nutty Buddies, but whatever.

[pepper]

I bookmarked the Accountability and Goals page. That helps a lot.

[qmeou123]

Morneen!
I'm grabbing a few moments with my bed coffee before it kicks into high gear here. I'm an island here surrounded by suitcases and duffel bags and sacks of linens.....

Yay for beating off the snack fairy, Pepper! Wait.....

Cyn, one of me mental fitness exercises is figuring out how to make my running stuff last a week between laundry days. Lessee, six running days, divided by three Iron Maidenforms, four pair of "the good socks"......
We should just buy six of everything. Why do we do this to ourselves. Pfft.

[qmeou123]

I haven't figured this place out yet either, Regina!!!

I just click on the "participated" button. That pops up a window with the threads I've posted in. Since there's only a handful, this one is foremost and easy to click on.

We will be all savvy and slick, soon, and for the rest of our lives.

[qmeou123]

Okay, that's my time! Thanks, and tip your waiter!

I've got to start the process of running around like that chicken. I'm in charge of the coolers.

Then we load the car. Anyone who has ever been married knows how that goes.

Yes, even MrWonderful. Nothing to be done, it's incurable. Penis poisoning.

[pepper]

Enjoy your trip, Q! Don't worry your pretty little head about us. It's only supposed to get up to 102 here today.
