    Welcome to all of our Newbies for June!! My internet went down yesterday afternoon and just was repaired...was a whole neighborhood thing caused by an equipment failure...in any case, sorry I missed your announcements. I'm glad you found our team!

    @partyof7 @babytis @AstralCrazy @neilphicks

    Like @pupowl recommended, read the FAQ...hope it answers everything...otherwise, just ask and we'll all chime in! Take time to introduce yourselves and tell a little about your goals for June and beyond...take advantage of this wonderful source of support and encouragement from this group...they're AMAZING!!! Also, join our step team if you're a walker/runner...and also take advantage of the weekly Group Challenges...you'll see them announced on Saturday evenings and they always begin on Sundays.

    Hope to hear from you soon!! Good luck in June! Again, welcome!!!

    Hello 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!

    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!

    Happy Friday! I hope everyone is doing well <3

    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 :)

    @AstralCrazy Welcome to Shape Shifters! Rule number one, you cannot make a statement like that without telling us what band it is. :D

    Haha noted! The band is Marianas Trench! I've been following them for close to 15 years; never seen them in concert before. Wish me luck with the tickets :)

    Welcome @tahm42 to the team!!!! Please take time to read our FAQ file on pg one of this thread or the new one for June as I just posted it a few moments ago. If it doesn't cover any questions you have, just post and I'm sure one (or more) of us will chime in to help.

    Take a few minutes and introduce yourself and tell us a little about the goals you've set for June and beyond. If you'll take advantage of all of this teams resources, you'll do really well on meeting those goals. If there's anything myself or your other Captain, @pupowl can do to assist, please let us know. Watch for special posts from our wonderful Motivators, @LaurieWrobo and @Cyncia85 as they post notes, memes, cartoons, quotes, questions, conversation starters and all KINDS of stuff to keep everyone motivated...we have the absolute BEST team!

    Again, welcome and let's hear from you often!!

    Fridays
    Prev weight-183.8
    Current weight-185.6

    graduation, lots of family, crappy food, almost no workouts. Glad that's over. I did a 2.4 mile incline run on the treadmill, then an upper body workout today. Frisbee with my daughter this evening and in the morning my daughter and I are going for a run

    The daily card:
    The way we look affects what we see. And what we see affects how we feel. By intentionally looking for and tuning into moments of loveliness, generosity, and kindness throughout your day, you can nudge your mood and overall perspective into the positive. Practice with focusing on small moments-the coolness of the breeze on your face, a stranger's smile, the kindness of a friend. These moments may seem minor, but by giving them your attention, they become amplified and brighten your mind.

    @AstralCrazy never heard of them, but that's not important. What IS important is did you get tickets?? 🤞
