@tatilove1988 -- I have so much water retention, I haven't figured it out yet, I think maybe hormones for me? idk...if you find a sure answer to conquer it, let me know!

@Pupowl -- My cheat days have informed me that chocolate gives me really bad headaches. Doh. It turns out it's a really common cause of headaches and migraines along with Soy. I will still keep pushing the boundary to find out just how much chocolate I can get away with

Hey team, I will be back in March when we start the new month (not sure which day we're migrating and starting the new month on.) My current weight is back up to 188 if you need that. Thanks!

I think I’ve figured out the cause (sudden increase of fibre), but it might be hormonal too; I am breastfeeding and definitely had thyroid issues during pregnancy. Hormones might explain chronic bloating for me, but this sudden bloat over the past days must be because of all the fibre.

If that’s the case, I think my body will just adjust itself when it’s ready. But it does hurt the team’s stats ☹️

Thursday ~ Feb 29
Good morning Shape Shifters. It was a very wet Thursday here and it didn't stop raining the entire day so I didn't get my walk in. It looks like this will be the last rain for quite a while though! The next two weeks are looking good. I did a bunch of stepping to music, so my steps and zone minutes were pretty good for a lazy day. I got two new summer jackets for Tinus delivered. The fleece one he is currently wearing is super thick and warm so I got regular fabric this time. They are both cute, but I like the flowers best. Tinus had a nightmare again while on my lap which was a bit sad, but thankfully he didn't fall off this time. My headache started to turn into a migraine in the evening, so I went to bed really early.
Happy Friday everyone

@Pupowl, Tinus looks handsome. He looks like he's model his new outfit.

@Itadakimasu7 Happy to see you back on the regular team in March! It's a shame about the chocolate, but nice to know what is causing your headaches at least. I have chronic headaches and it is a mystery to me why they happen. I haven't noticed any patterns with food. Thankfully there is a lot of other nice stuff to eat! I got some new baklava on Wednesday, that is probably my favorite sweet thing to eat.

On the step challenge, does a person have to post in steps daily or can you post in once a week with a day by day total? I want to do it, but I'm really prone to fatigue and illness and am concerned I might be late reporting (I'm a little OCD about getting things done on time...I have a thing about that...lol)

@jessicakrall8 is the step challenge 'boss' so I am going to let her answer your question about the steps!

@Itadakimasu7 We ask everyone who participates to send in their steps every 2-3 days, just to keep us up-to-date on the stats and not make the recording so tedious for the Captains. If you have an emergency, you can just send one of us a note and let us know you'll report next day. We'd love to have you walk with us!

Friday ~ March 01
Good morning Shape Shifters. Weather was a bit grey, but I did my usual walk. My body was super tired for some reason, so it felt a little bit like a slog and I didn't have the energy to add any of the new trails I explored. I really can't complain about a 77 minute walk though. I got some groceries after my walk. Sadly the unsalted peanuts I buy for the birds were sold out, so I will check again on Monday for those. Besides tired, I was also extremely hungry! It is a miracle that the only extra thing I ate was a small protein yoghurt. I currently have a lot of treats in the house and they were calling out to me for sure. My stomach was hurting from hunger a few hours in the afternoon even though I ate a normal amount of food. I did my gym rings before my last meal of the day. I recently found a new drink with 35 grams of protein which is really nice and cheap, so after having that, my stomach finally stopped complaining.
I have been looking for some nice long sleeved shirts to walk in for the summer. For some reason it is impossible to find any that are affordable, oversized and a nice material. I don't like having bare skin in the sun, so even when it is hot, I still want to wear long sleeves. I got a package with 2 shirts delivered today, but the material felt bad and it was practically see through as well, so I am returning them. I ordered another shirt to try from a different store which should arrive later today. I really hope that one will work.
Happy Saturday everyone

For some reason, my posts keep going to the main group page although I am trying to leave a comment in this particular team chat. This is a test to see if it works properly this time. If not, I will log in on my computer tonight instead of my phone.

@melissataylor1986 I agree with you...it's much easier to find the right links on your desktop/laptop than on your phone. I rarely post from my phone...it's also much easier to copy/paste photos in the chat threads.

We got it, loud and clear this time! Make sure you bookmark the page by checking the little ribbon at the top, to the right of the title on this thread. Here's a screenshot to help. Once you do that, it will be in your My Bookmarks list at the top right of the page. Hope this helps.



Be aware that the new chat thread starts tomorrow and is already open for March. Here's the link for it:
