@AstralCrazy & @neilphicks Welcome to the Shape Shifters! There is a FAQ on the first page of this thread so please read that first. If you have any questions after that, let us know. Looking forward to getting to know both of you so feel free to tell us something about yourself. I hope you will find this group helpful on your journey to better health!1

Hi! My name is Emma, my username Astral works too. I am two years out of university and one year into a totally sedentary post-grad office job as a programmer (my steps are horrid, 1.5k a day if I'm lucky. I used to walk everywhere). These two years have come with a steady incline on the scale. At least the food was yummy!
I have a few goals with weight loss, some numeric and some in general. First, the numbers:
Age: 24
Height: 5'3"
Starting weight: 173.8lbs (February 2024)
Current weight: 165.0lbs (5/29/24)
Goal weight: 125lbs (40lbs to go!)
My biggest goal with weight loss is to feel healthier. At my highest weight in February, I was tired constantly and really didn't get any joy out of anything. I've been slacking on hobbies I used to enjoy because I don't feel my best and been eating in excess to entertain myself. Since October I've been lifting weights on and off, but I'm a bit more consistent as of recent. I'm sure that'll change my weight goal down the line, but I remember being pretty content at 125lbs a few years ago, so that's my goal for now. I'm just now falling into a groove, and I'm so excited to be a part of a group to keep me accountable!
Looking forward to getting to know you all, I'm off to do a quick workout now

Good evening, I hope everyone had a good day. I had a couple NSV's today. This afternoon my husband and I went for a nature walk at our local nature center. usually he only wants to walk 1 maybe 2 miles. Well today he surprised me with a 4.04 mile walk. I loved it! Then tonight for supper we went to Jimmy John's. I ordered a #4 Unwhich and brought my own Quest chips. The man taking our order informed me they didn't have anymore lettuce for Unwhich's. I told him then that I didn't want anything then. I think he was a little shocked. Normally I would've just folded and got a bread sub, but tonight I thought "NO!!, I'm not going to be forced to get something I don't want." We left and had soup and salad at Applebee's which was 10 times better anyway. Win, Win!6

Steps for Wednesday
3542 😔
@babytis congratulations! I had a major Jimmy John's fail yesterday. I am in a two day meeting at work and yesterday we ordered in JJ box lunches. I planned ahead staying away from the donuts and bagels in the morning and bringing my own chicken and salad for lunch. But then found a Jimmy triple chunk 🍪 someone had put near the coffee station. I succumbed. 😞5 -
Good morning Shape Shifters. Yesterday was a very wet morning which meant no screaming Tinus and the birds were fairly quiet too. I got to 'sleep in' until 7:00 for a change. I didn't think I could walk because of the rain, but I checked online and it said it would be dry after 8. So I changed clothes again and headed out anyway. Well, calling it dry would have been a stretch. It was pretty windy and the forest was absolutely sopping wet, so it was already raining from the trees alone. I got some more rain and drizzle during the walk as well, but I was too warm anyway so it didn't bother me. The rest of my day was not very interesting or fun. I was not in a good mood and very irritable and quick to get upset. I have no idea why but it was very annoying. It took a lot of effort, but I did manage to get my gym rings done in the evening. I went to bed too late because I just wanted to zone out and relax with a game. Happy Thursday everyone

Great to be here, hopefully motivate me as well! Especially at weekends and chocolate (my weakness) anyway I am 56 this year I currently weigh 90kg I want to get down to 80kg! I currently work out at home on my treadmill, multi gym, kettleball and 2 apps with exercises in total between 90 - 120 mins after work! I fast during the day eat after I exercise (no snacking then) I did try the Huel, breakfast shake then a Huel meal but found that it was too many calories 400 each time that meant after I eaten too many calories in total so I'm experimenting by fasting (hope it works)
Anyway any advice going forward would be appreciated
@neilphicks I saw your post on our main page and am moving it to your group discussion posts. Hopefully your team can answer your questions and help with your goals!2 -

I'm sure the lack of movement this past week is the reason for the gain. And the Buffalo wings didn't help. 😁 Am done traveling for a couple of weeks so that will help. Have a great day everyone!4 -
Happy Friday! I hope everyone is doing well
Fun day ahead for me, I'm itching for 10am so I can buy some concert tickets for a band I've been waiting to see for ages. After that stress, I'm also going to take a walk on a nature trail after work and stop at a plant store on my way back. I was thinking I might buy some herbs for my windowsill in the office, might make things a little less dreary 3
