Crazy Ates Activity Sign Ups!



Recommended Posts

Hey Crazy Ates......

It's time to jump start our activity calendar! Please sign up for the activity that you would like to lead.....first one to sign up gets the job! And, each leader can set up the rules, the times, the deadlines, the process. In other words....they will run the show! Instead of replying to this post...just start a thread with the heading of the activity you plan to head up! I'll try to keep us all on task....with a gentle hand and the knowledge that we all have lives......!!!!! Also, I volunteer to do a newsletter for our group to keep everyone updated on what's up with the Crazy Ates.

Sunday Night "Drinking Sessions"---a chance for all of us to consume our liquids together, to salute our team mates that will be banded that week and to give strength and support to those of us on liquid diets! Sessions begin as soon as the leader decides! Idea--maybe a chat session....leader can decide.

Facebook (or other social networking site) Chair--set up a page for our group to post pictures, leave messages, post announcements or whatever else we can do there......!

Sunshiners---announce who will be banded that week and be sure to check in with them via private messages.

Birthday Wishing--Collect team mate birthdays and offer opportunities to Celebrate their day.....even if it's listing them each month!

Calendar Keeper--send out announcements on what activities are happening with the dates, times, etc.

Exercise Challenges--come up with the challenges, the goals, etc. and keep keep tabs on progress, etc.

WLS Joke Book--solicit jokes, funny stories and other not-so-serious aspects of WLS and share them periodically

Membership Chair--find new members who may not have found us!

Welcome Wagon--Welcome new members

Recipe Book---collect recipes/share recipes, maybe put together a monthly/bi monthly recipe collection

Award Chair--come up with the award categories and decide how the awards will be awarded

Social Chair--decide on and coordinate social events...online or in regions or however you want! Maybe we can have a mixer with another group. Oh, hey...a Lap Dance might be fun.....:eyebrows:

Life Expansion Chair--expand the horizons of your team mates...suggest web sites, books, vacation spots, magazines, TV shows.....

Get to Know You Chair--post questions designed to get to know others in our group (not looking for real personal info....maybe things like....what's your Astrological Sign? what's your favorite color? ....)

AWOL Finder Chair--hunt down team members that may have gone AWOL.

What have I forgot???? Feel free to come up with your own and appoint yourself the leader!!!!

<p>Judi, I appreciate what you're trying to do. I really do. But it makes my head hurt just looking at the list. You can count on me to be full of questions and comments, to be supportive of everyone, and to ask for support when I need it. I'll be one of the first to be banded in August (on 8/2) and I hope to be a great example, but with so much still unknown I can't commit to any more than that right now. Becky</p>

Yep, I hear ya......! No biggie! I am just a natural born idea person with creative energy that oozes sometimes! So, I throw out a lot of ideas. Realistically, I don't expect that any or all of them are even worth a second thought!!! In fact, statistically speaking, probably only 25% of my ideas ever turn into realities. But, when I look around, *my* 25% accounts for 90% of the ideas that are in use in my home and my office. Even if they just inspire someone or make someone laugh or spark another idea, that's my contribution to making the world spin just a little faster that day!!! Great ideas have to come from somewhere...right??? Maybe it's a sickness. But, I just can't enter a room or join group without my mind starting to think of things! So, even if my ideas do not move past the idea stage in it's original form, I like the notion that maybe it meant something to someone somewhere.

In addition to my obsession with idea-sharing, I just love to organize everything (except for my drawers and my purse)......LOL!!! Put it all together and I guess I can make someone's head hurt!!!! Hope you're feeling better now....!!!

No need to commit to anything but staying well and smiling......!!!

Thanks Judi. I was afraid I was sounding a little like a deadbeat. You sound like a super high energy gal - a good one to have on the team. That trait should also serve you well on the weight loss and exercise path. Also, now we know who to call when its time to clean out the garage. hehe

I'm with Becky, Judi, but wholeheartedly applaud your initiative!! For me I know that losing weight can't be the focus of my day/week/life or I start to resent it and sabotage myself. That's the reason I tend not to participate in these things. (Not that I don't recognize their value--being a moderator forces me to come here regularly, and I know beyond a doubt it's made a huge difference to me over the years.)

I'll be watching from the sidelines!

I was gonna snag the Birthday one, but Justplainme got to it first! SO,

"GET TO KNOW YOU" is my next pick. Give me a day or two to think of which direction to take it.

JudiM -- Girl, you're inspiring!! That list was AWESOME! Look forward to working with everybody over this! I so want it to benefit everyone!

Hugs,

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
