    (Day of Week) Weigh-in Monday
    PW: 9st 9lbs (technically 9 st 9.8lbs)
    CW: 9st 9bs (technically 9st 9.4lbs, so maybe I have lost 0.5lbs! bring on next week!)
    LTD: 0 lbs

    @zog_a_log When you log your weigh-ins, please log in pounds (just to keep everything consistent)...I can go and use a translator program, but I don't want there to be any errors. For that reason, we ask everyone to log as pounds...please repost because it appears you have a loss from your "technically" comment...let me know!

    Thanks!

    Check-in ~ January 01
    Steps: 19.818
    Calorie deficit: yes
    Workout: yes, 1/3 for the week
    Vitamins: yes
    Sleep: 8h 41m / 85 score
    Good morning Shape Shifters. I had a decent day. I did some reading, Netflix, gaming, a lot of laundry with my new dryer and a Dance with Deepti workout in the evening. The increased stepping blocks didn't do as much as I was hoping, so I figure it is time to get off my lazy butt and do something. Instead of a handful of zone minutes, I got 40 of them with the youtube workout so it was well worth it. I had fun with it as well and I am only a little bit sore today. I would like to do more than 3 a week, but I am starting slow. This is the one I did last night: https://youtu.be/_5lVcFSMZag
    Happy Monday everyone <3

    You're inspiring all of us, @Pupowl ...so how does Tinus react when you get up and start working out? Is he a "jump in with you" cat or an "I'll just ignore her" cat?! I'm starting to do extra steps in 500 increments, as it takes the pressure off of my knees in trying to do several thousand at once. Especially on the weekends when I'm at home. At work is a different story because I'm always running around the building...

    Hope you have a great day today!

    He will ignore me most of the time. Sometimes he rolls on the desk in front of the screen and wants to be petted. Yesterday he tried to attack my feet a few times. :lol: So I do need to keep an eye on him a bit, to make sure he doesn't get in the way too much!
    It is a good idea to add small bits at once. That really does add up! I always step whenever I am waiting for something. I sometimes even step while reading, holding the book in my right hand since the fitbit is on my left. It is a little silly though. :smiley:

    I love dark chocolate too! It really does satisfy the sweet cravings.

    Love your cats face! Looks like he/she isn’t too happy about having another cat in the house :D

    Weigh Day Tuesday
    PW 239.6
    CW 237.2

    My name is Julie and I live in Keller, Texas, just a little north of Fort Worth. I just turned 55, have been married for 33 years and have an 18 year old son (Jason) at Texas Tech. I'm looking to lose weight to be more healthy and more mobile.

    @Pupowl - love the picture of Tinus

    @Walela617 - I'm doing dry January again this year. Last year I lasted until spring break, but it definitely seems to make a difference in weight loss even if you stay in calorie range. Wishing you luck.

    To all the new people - Welcome!

    I am glad you all enjoy seeing his silly face. :lol: I take pictures of him pretty often because he is so cute, so he shows up in my posts fairly regularly!
    Nice loss TexanMom8152!

    Sunday Weigh-in
    PW: 295 lbs (previous weight)
    CW: 295 lbs (current weight)

    Hello Everyone, I'm alittle late in giving my weigh-in. I am still learning how to navigate the site. I would love to join the Step Challenge and if someone could tell me the day I need to weigh in that would be wonderful. Thank you. :) I look forward to being in this Group!

    @GwenS23 - You can select your weigh-in day. Any day of the week will work as long as you consistently report each week on that day so you can monitor your progress over time. The weekly stats are usually calculated early Saturday morning so that might influence your choice.

    Welcome to the Shape Shifters team!

    Hi everyone, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    I don't want to be a "drop-out statistic" either; so here goes!

    All-time highest weight: 217 lbs. on 2/29/08

    Walela617
    Weigh-in Day: SUNDAY
    SW: 152.2 (01/01/23)
    CW: 152.2
    LTD: 000.0 (Lost to Date)

    My goal is to achieve at least a 12 lb. weight loss by the first day of Spring, 2023. This will bring my BMI down to under 25.0.

    @Walela617 I show your weigh in day as Thursday each week. Do you want to be moved to Sundays? Please advise. NOTE: SAW YOUR NOTE RIGHT AFTER THIS WAS SENT. I'LL GET YOU MOVED TO SUNDAYS. When did you request it?? I must have missed it! Sorry.

    ▪️ Daily Check-in

    I managed to stay within my calorie budget today which is great. I’ve been loading my dinner plate with veg and I’ve started drinking a large glass of water with my dinner too, which seems to make me feel fuller.
