Weigh Day Wednesday
PW: 234
CW: 232.4
Slowly getting back in the game.7 -
Hello! I'm bionicpuffy, a 42 year old parent of 2 living in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico. Happy to be part of team Shrinking Assets
BionicPuffy
Weigh-in day is Monday
PW: 163
CW: 161.5
The PW and CW is only a difference of 2 days-- I think the fluctuation was due to a big dinner the night before my PW and a lot of muscle soreness!6 -
Welcome, @bionicpuffy! We’re happy you’re part of the team, too!
@sigma3girl - “Back in the game” is a nice active place to be. Slowly but surely! … means you’re ‘achieving your desired results gradually and reliably rather than quickly and spectacularly.’
That sounds like a good approach to me, especially for maintaining long term results.3 -
With great pleasure I would like to announce that @TheMrWobbly has agreed to become Captain of Shrinking Assets. He was part of the team for many many months back in 2019 and 2020. He is no stranger to our group, just needed a little hiatus and decided to jump back in with both feet!! He has much experience with running and biking, including crashing, so feel free to hit him up with any questions

Hi Team!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. I have been more focused this week than in weeks past, but far from perfection! Several months ago, @Be_theBest_Me noticed that I seem to binge every Wednesday. I didn't think much about it, but she is totally right. I have NO CLUE what is up about Wednesday, but I do. I will eat the corners off the house if I can. I did it again this week. I had communicated with a group member that I was looking at a potential 3-4 lb loss this week. I took a peek today and I will be lucky to have 2 - unless something happens in the next 24! This is ok. It is part of the learning process and something I must figure out.
I am looking for low cal dessert alternatives. I have an incredible sweet tooth that I cannot seem to manage. All suggestions are appreciated!!3 -

For me, I prefer to do my own baking, that way I am able to control the sugar
Love banana bread, but instead of adding say 1 cup of sugar - I will reduce it down to 1/4 cup or even a couple tablespoons.
Bananas are sweet and if you also add in raisins, there is no need to use all that sugar
I have cut back on sugar, that I really do not need it, now if that was real butter, we would have a problem. There is nothing that beats having good quality butter

@ashleymullo6195 - We each pick a day of the week that works for us. I just checked the September spreadsheet and it looks as though you’re scheduled for Thursday. So, you can send a weigh-in update like this:
Name: ashleymullo6195
Weigh-in Day: Thursday
Previous Weight (PW): 157
Current Weight (CW): [INSERT CW HERE]
Optional: Starting Weight (SW).
I think that’s everything but I’ll rely on Beka or the other group members to correct anything I got wrong here. Welcome to the group!
UPDATE: I’m hoping I can link to the correct instructions page here:

I was on support team last month because I was out of town. I’m back and working on getting back in the game.
My husband retired July 31 so in August we took a 25 day trip to Europe. We saw Rome, Venice, Milan, Switzerland, Munich, Salzburg, Vienna and Amsterdam! We just got home Tuesday afternoon and I’m still jet-lagged (or the reverse, since we are waking up at 4:30 am) and my eating schedule is still a wreck so it’s going to take a few more days to adjust.
I really was expecting a gain, and prepared myself to accept up to a five pound gain, so I’m thrilled to have a loss! Of course we walked a lot, probably 6-8 miles each day except for travel days. But eating was all over the place. And I hadn’t worked out the whole time. My first day back at the gym was today and I did pretty well but my trainer said to expect to be pretty sore for the next week. I can definitely tell I have some tight muscles. I’d love to get a massage this week to work on that.
The past few days we’ve been eating all the food we missed while we were gone so I need to rein that in before it becomes a problem. I did tell my husband I wasn’t going to make a habit of buying all that junk food on a regular basis. Once I get caught up with unpacking, laundry, bills, etc I need to start cooking again.
Hope everything has a good week, and for those in the states, enjoy your Labor Day weekend!6 -
Teammates-
I want to give a shout out to the habit tracker google sheet! (It is linked toward the beginning of this thread.) I'be been using it this week and like seeing all of the checkmarks.
Highly recommend and thank you to whomever set it up.
