Teleconference?

I'm wondering about what folks think about doing a regular (maybe weekly?) teleconference for the folks in the maintenance group?

We can do it by skype where people can be on video (or not if you aren't comfortable) which is free, or I can set up a free conference call line for people to call which would be voice only.

We could talk about all sorts of things like recipes, strategies for the night eating, etc. Please let me know what you think of this idea.

this is a brilliant idea. i would love to do it. and of course on skype you can leave your camera off. hard part will be choosing a good time as some people will be in other time zones. evening might be good because thats the snacking hour. love this thought. some of us live in remote areas and could use more support.

I would set up the teleconference for something like 6pm CA time which would be 9pm Eastern time, or set it up on the weekend or something. I'd probably do a poll and see what times/days work best for people and I'm sure we can reach a consensus.

it's a good idea, but an even simpler way to start is using the group's chat. I am not very good at chat but need practice (only have done it a bit on FB)

anyone want to try later today? if even one other person wants to try it, I'm game.

in fact I think later maybe late afternoon (I am on Mountain time) I will just get on and see if anyone is there. 4 or 6 or something.

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

I personally get tired of typing so for me I'm much more of a phone person. After spending my day on computers I'm done with typing at the end of the day, and at least with the phone you can get more on tone, etc. Would you be interested in doing a teleconference if we set one up?

at last, someone who will get on the phone! pretty much everyone wants to text and I don't do that yet.

I would love to try a teleconference.

FYI I just tried the group's chat and couldn't get it to work.

Yes I am a total phone person.. haha. I get so tired of chatting.. I type 100+ words per minute and I type a lot of crap in a day.. want to actually use my speaking voice! I can't stand doing long texts too.. I'm like freaking call me already! haha..
