    Fat Burners and Shape Shifters are also both fantastic ideas!

    The ‘burners’ language feels motivating in terms of fueling fitness energy and ‘shape shifters’ is so positive.

    We might need to use one of those new polls available through the website updates, so we can reframe our perspective on the changes. 😂🤣😂

    I’m still getting used to the new format but appreciate the efforts of MFP staff and leaders to provide updates.

    Change is hard but necessary. One of our family mottos is ‘adapt or die’ but it still takes practice! 😅
  • I like Food fighters. Also what about SAT burners, Shrinking Assets and Trimstones it combines both names. I also thought of shrinking stones. Shrink and Trim. Think Trink, Trimsets

    Good morning everyone. Sorry for not weighing in this past Saturday. :( Can I be placed on support until February 1st please? Outside of the holidays coming up, my husband and I are officially house hunting. :)
    It's exciting, fun and stressful at the same time. I will still be coming around to cheer everyone on. You guys are awesome!! Have a great day and stay safe.

Hope you walk in and find that perfect place just for you and your family...you'll get "that feeling" just like I did when I bought my house...I just KNEW it the right one for me. Good luck! Keep us posted on the search...enjoy!

    Shape Shifters

    My three favorites so far are:
    Shape Shifters - shedding that extra baggage to reveal the real you that's within.
    Fat Burners - energetically burning that fat, through active living and plenty of exercise.
    Food Fighters - resisting those tempting treats, and fighting the urges to overeat.

    It's me, chublet25; I'm still banned, with no explanations, or replies to my queries. So I will at least be posting my weight this week, on Tuesday, as usual. Hope everybody's doing well.

    Congratulations on another successful week!

    I’m glad I’m not participating in the weekly weigh-in because I would have had a negative effect on the Shrinking Assets team this week 🙄.

    I’m working on maintenance after reaching my goal weight but used my son’s visit from college as a reason to eat some unhealthy food. He exercises regularly and enjoys nutritious food in healthy portions so I’m not sure why I self-sabotaged. I’ll need to reflect a bit more on why I lost focus.

    My rowing group was on a three week break between the regular season ‘on the water’ and winter conditioning, but we start our new fitness schedule today. So, I’m hoping that eliminates my ‘I’ll start TOMORROW thinking.’ Every decision is an opportunity to start fresh and make a better choice but the colder, darker days get to me. I’m hoping the accountability of my winter conditioning group helps me over the hump and I can build the positive workout and nutrition habits back into my daily routine!

    I might have to check in more regularly over the next few weeks while I work through the transition. I stayed within my maintenance goal of 120-130 but I skipped a weigh-in last week so I’ll be sure to post an update on Thursday, too. I was inspired by you, @jazzadesigns, for facing the weekly report with honesty. Ignoring the truth won’t help me!

    I appreciate the encouragement and accountability of the F2F group/ Shrinking Assets team and look forward to widening our support network with the Trimstones under our new name. It will be a good opportunity to refresh my approach and excel as part of our new ‘identity’! I’m going to focus on becoming the person I want to be! Go get those goals, team!

    Congratulations @frankwbrown @chublet25 and @KittyInBoots17 !
  • Shape Shifters seems like a solid generally well liked option. Do we ask the Trimstones? How does this work?

    Team Naming UPDATE!

    I am always posting the same messages for both Shrinking Assets and Trimstones, so everyone who has posted has been heard! So far, the most popular options are the following:

    Trim Assets
    Unrepentant Thinners
    Food Fighters
    Shape Shifters

    Shape Shifters has probably the most supportive comments, the other 3 all pretty equal, although Food Fighters might have a slight edge on the others.

    Weigh in on this by Wednesday and then the Captains and Moderators will make a decision! Thanks :heart:
