Shape Shifters Team Chat - DECEMBER 2022

Hello everyone!
I am excited to be here! I am like so many that have gained and lost the same weight every year or two it seems. After the summer I started working a full time desk job and lost all motivation to work out and my eating became horrible. I ended the summer at 208 lbs and I am currently back up to 226.6 lbs! Which is a lot more than just water weight. lol I have lost muscle definition I gained in my legs and I am most sad about that.
I am now taking charge of my health again and I am ready to get back to where I was and to keep going!

Hi everyone. Just caught up on all the posts.
@Pupowl sorry to hear about your dryer, glad it is coming soon. Crazy story about your neighbour.
Loved the holiday pictures people posted.
@jessicakrall8 I’d like to join the walking group in January please. 10,000 steps. My favourite place to walk is in the woods whenever possible. I currently walk my dog in the farmers field across the road from me and through the bush there as well.3 -

Hey everyone 👋🏻
Just a quick check-in. I feel I done well today although I went over my allowance by approx 106 calories. My family got a takeaway tonight and instead of my huge burger, fries and…an extra burger, I chose the grilled chicken salad with small fries. So instead of my usual 1375kcal, it was only 355kcal! I’m proud of myself for making the swap.
Weigh-in tomorrow (Fri) I’m hoping for even a tiny loss!4 -
Welcome @nitaoriol and @kading55. Looking forward to getting to know you.
We had a quick and rough trip over the last two days. Way more steps than I am used to, 22,348 on Wednesday and today I had 5508 when I woke up. Tech won last night. We got back to the hotel about 1 am and went to bed about 2. We needed to pick Jason up from his hotel at 8am this morning, and then a 5 1/2 hour drive back home. Spent the rest of the day being lazy. I'd like to think that I walked off all of the fast food, stadium food, and alcohol. But I know that is probably not the reality.

MFP Name: kodakslim
Weigh-in day: Friday
Previous weight: 161 lbs
Current weight: 157.6 lbs
Goal: 142 lbs
Most likely some water weight gone as it’s just my first week back with MFP. I don’t think my body knows what is going on this week as for the past year (maybe more), I lived on junk food. Chocolate was my downfall.
This week, I only had a small amount of chocolate, made healthy swaps and was able to say “no thanks” when offered junk food. At times it was hard though!
I’ll be collecting my food shop later and added lots of healthy food to my order,
including plenty of fruit and veg.
Hope everyone is well x

Fridays
PW: 199

Happy last Friday of 2022!
I did some weights yesterday and got a good cardio workout in this morning but haven't been able to reign in my extra eating. We have a lot of leftover chocolate in the house that I've been mindlessly into in the evenings. I need to be more mindful about it and remember that eating it just sabotages any progress I'm trying to make.4 -
@jessicakrall8
I would love to try joining the step challenge for January!
My goal is 15,000 steps each day.

Very nice first week @kodakslim and will be even sweeter next week when the January stats begin. You first "official" weigh in is on Friday, Jan 6th and you'll report your registration weight as PW and whatever you see on the scale that day as your CW. Wow you're doing great already!!
Happy New Year!

Hi Jessica
Thanks very much! When I register my official weigh-in on the 6th Jan, should I put my PW at 161 lbs? (this was my weight when I joined at the beginning of the week).
Apologies, as I’m mixing myself up by joining at the tail end of December
Thanks again and Happy New Year!

Saturday weigh in
PW: 217.5

Not the loss I wanted this week, but considering Wednesday was really bad, I should probably just be happy I got a loss in the first place. I got a sleepscore of 91 this morning, another new record! Happy Saturday everyone

Ugh ! Sorry team but I guess that's what happens when you eat things you don't normally eat like cheese,pate & chocolates.
Back on it after the weekend.1 -
Hi guys,
Thanks for adding me!
I’m Ashley and I’m 41.
Married, have a 10 year old son, and 4 cats.
The last time I was successful on MFP was losing the baby weight. I maintained the loss for a few years while I was working part-time, then didn’t have the energy or motivation when I started working full-time again 5 years ago. I have also lost both my parents to cancer in the last 4 years. This has motivated me to get healthier. Even healthy people get cancer, but I want to be living my best life.
I have to workout (a lot) or I won’t be motivated to track calories. Please help me get up off the couch after a long school day (teacher) and get moving. Thanks!! 😊3 -
