@jessicakrall8 and @Pupowl - I apologize for the inconvenience but I won’t have access to a scale until September 14th, when I return from Portugal.
Can you please ask the moderators to excuse me until then?
I didn’t anticipate extending my break from weighing in this long, but I’ll be traveling until then. Thank you for all you do to keep things straight with our Shape Shifters team!

It was a Bank holiday weekend so I went out for a meal with my husband & one of my sisters & my brother in law.We had a good day but it came with a few treats,wine & ice cream.So I've been trying to eat healthier since Sunday.I did get up early the next day to go to my Dance fit class.
Lovely photos @Pupowl I love walking through trees,the sun shining through them looks lovely.Nice of you to pop in @PatriceFitnessPal.Oh my goodness,fancy someone just moving unto someone else's home.That is scary ! It's horrid that scammers target vulnerable people.Glad you enjoyed some time with your husband & family.4 -

@Becoming_A_Butterfly
When you get a second, go back to pg 1 of this chat thread and read our FAQ file, which should answer some questions you might have...anything not covered there, just ask away and one of us will chime up with the information. Also, take a few minutes to introduce yourselfs and let us know a little about your goals for Sept and beyond.
I'm Jessica, one of two captains, the other being @Pupowl . On behalf of the Captains and our two Motivators @Sbus12 and @Cyncia85 we hope you find this team to be as supportive and kind as we have during our time here. Let us know how we can better help you meet your goals...a couple of more things...the more involved you get with the group...the more you share both triumphs and challenges, the more you'll get out of the team. If you're a walker, please join our monthly step challenge...all info on that is in the FAQ. Finally, we have weekly group challenges which change every week and are also another source of motivation...I host those so I'll post the links in the chat here eat Saturday evening as they always run Sun-Sat.
Again, welcome!!
Jessica

@PatriceFitnessPal Nice to 'hear' from you again! Sorry there were so many family issues you had to deal with. Hopefully everything will turn out well. Have a good time in Portugal!
@izzyred9400 Thank you!3 -
Good morning Shape Shifters. Another day, another walk. Still the same one, but it is hard to get bored of it. I am getting my new shoes today though, super excited about that. I really hope that will lessen my pain because at the moment every step hurts. Happy Wednesday everyone

I'm very happy with the half pound loss. I'm about half way to my goal.
Steps have been well below my goal, partly because we're still under extreme heat advisory, partly because life happens, and partly because I have been extra tired. I'll try to do better going forward.

I missed it, is something wrong with Tinus? I know he had some joint issues previously was it? I hope he's okay!
Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday, I haven't gotten much done just a bit of laundry.4 -

@Itadakimasu7 Tinus is fine for now, no worries! He gets an injection once every 4 weeks for spondylosis, and on them he seems to be pain free. Armygirlarmyof1 just really likes to see pictures of Tinus.
@Sbus12 Thank you, I am glad you enjoy seeing the pictures. I live in the Netherlands. The national park I always go to for my walks is called Dwingelderveld.3 -

It's killing me that with being sick in bed all day today, I won't be able to hit my step goal...after 110+ days of hitting it. But if I push myself, I won't be able to get back to work tomorrow. I have to rest...

I am stubborn! I walked 500 steps at a time all afternoon and evening and laid down in between but I got it done!

Hello Shape Shifters. No walk for me on Wednesday. Forecast said it would rain all day, which wasn't true so I could have gone in the early morning. It was fine though and I had a relaxing day with Tinus. I also got my new shoes, so I was really excited to try them out on Thursday. I am so happy I got them. They fit well and were comfortable right from the start. I just did my usual walk, no need to break them in at all. Almost all the pain I had is gone, except for a small amount in my right heel. That makes me a lot happier to start my walks in the morning. Also noticed my feet in general felt less tired after the walk on the new shoes. It was quite muddy and wet in the forest, but my socks stayed dry. I had a really good time with them! They come with an insole you can remove, though I will keep those in for now.
Hopefully my feet can heal up in the autumn and winter and then in the spring I would like to go back to my Vapor Gloves. I still prefer those because it barely feels like you are wearing anything which is just super nice. The Bootee M's are a bit heavier and more shoe which is really useful now and they are better for the colder and wet days so I think it is good to have both. Happy Friday everyone
