Shrinking Assets Team Chat - NOVEMBER 2021

Hello Assets!
You all are doing great - even though there is a bit of a change on the way. It is hard losing @Beka3695 as co-captain, and you'll be needing a bit of bolstering up until your team leadership is renewed and ready to roll.
I'll do my best to keep up with the weigh-ins and any questions you might have about excused weigh-ins, day changes, questions, and fabulous stuff like hitting 50 pounds gone (GO @coblujay !!).
If you are considering the step up to team co-captain or motivator, there is a document that gives a comprehensive list. Check it out at:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Cnz79K-9MmrlffrfY-Eo_HQUnEsAOH61JEV9dtSNdvk/edit?usp=sharing
That list makes it look a bit bigger than the job usually is - some of the things on there only need looking after once in a while, and there should be 2 co-captains and hopefully 2 motivators to share it all. The most unavoidable duty is posting the weigh-ins on the spreadsheet. No other spreadsheet editing is required, but it needs to be kept up regularly all week every week. Otherwise, most of the duties are about keeping the team discussions going, coming up with ideas, questions, or even challenges to help everyone stay on track, etc. Of course, every team member can dive in on those kinds of things any time!
So please let me know if anyone would like to try this out. I (and the other Moderators) give a lot of support as you learn the ropes, so it should not be too onerous. Message me or leave a message here and I'll be glad to give you all the info you need.
Tally ho!2 -

A week down and I gotta say I'm finding it hard to find the willpower to not eat constantly. Work is stressful (we have an audit in 2 weeks) and my usual go-to is food. Gotta make sure I have healthy snacks around as much as possible to avoid the shops.

Sorry for the late input....my internet wasn't working5 -
I went to the maternity and baby clinic today for the baby’s appointment, and weighed myself while they were checking the baby. The baby has gained 0.7lbs in a week, which is great, and I lost 18lbs between my final pregnancy weigh-in (probably early October) and now. Interesting to see where I’m at mid-December at my postpartum doctor’s appointment. Considering my total gain from the beginning to the last weigh-in was about 42lbs, I still have a long way to go. I still have 70lbs+ to go, including both baby weight and the obesity I had packed on before getting pregnant.
I’ve successfully went on a walk with the baby every day since the day after coming home from the hospital, so two weeks straight. I’m also producing so much milk I’m calling the hospital tomorrow to ask about donating since my daughter doesn’t eat all of it, so my calorie burns are pretty decent already. Now I just need to figure out my diet. I won’t be calorie counting at least until my postpartum appointment, but focusing on increasing healthy options and decreasing chocolate.7 -

This last week I focused on keeping my salt down to drop some of this water weight I picked up going over my sodium the entire previous week. So this week I am focused on trying to up my exercise minutes and switch up my work out. I have found some good vids on you tube that I think will work. I have a broken foot right now so, I do exercises I can manage.7 -
@LaurieWrobo Happy Birthday! 🎈🎁4

CW: 135.8. . . . . 15.8 pounds from goal. I am nothing short of astounded at this. But it's getting cold out and oh, how I miss that built-in insulation!6 -
Well, losing this weight might be easier than I thought… I took our baby to a specialist today, and she put me on a breastfeeding diet to help with the baby’s tummy troubles. Nothing too restrictive in general, but she put chocolate on the ban list! That combined with the fact that the local hospital will be picking up my leftover milk once a week starting Monday is probably going to boost my weight loss, since there’s less calories in and more calories out with all that milk. Turns out, they pay for the milk too! Not very much, but it’s still nice to get a little something for the efforts. I mentioned the donation plan to some other local moms I’m in a chat group with, and two of them already put themselves on a personal ”wait list” to start picking up my extra milk if the hospital can’t use it (they give donated milk to prematurely born babies so they test extra carefully for bacterial growth etc.). So, it looks like I’m set to produce as much milk as possible, it’s going to help multiple babies on top of my own anyway.
Looking back at my previous post, you really do need to be careful what you wish for… just yesterday I wanted to focus on decreasing chocolate, so the universe answered.9 -
@LaurieWrobo Happy Birthday!!
@hipari Wow, that is amazing being able to help out premies ((hugs)) in addition to helping out your own!3 -
So work seems to lurch from one chaotic episode to another. Our EMEA CEO has returned to the Netherlands and I can start to plan. I noticed since both my children were home that has drained my time significantly so I probably needs to have a chat over dinner and point out I am getting back to where I was a couple of years ago able to focus and ready to be p****d off with people who interfered with my plans.
Wishing you a speedy recovery @DyanasLBSGoingDown
That is a really impressive scheme @hipari - I wonder if my doctor would prescribe no sweet stuff for me
