Congratulations on leading the Shape Shifter team this week @Krysless2, @cre804, and @frankwbrown! At a time when the overall F2F group gained weight, you all managed to represent us in the winning categories — lost pounds, percentage of body weight, honorable mention, etc. — Keep up the good work!

Way to go Krystal!!

@ganival 1gr/lb would be a lot of protein

A weight loss and metabolic doctor I saw set mine at 120-188g
That’s .5-.8 gr/lb his preference is to keep it close to .8 gr / lb when you have a lot of weight to lose or are trying to build muscle.

I also can’t stand cottage cheese. I eat a lot of Greek yogurt, eggs, cheese and chicken. When I don’t have enough protein I make a protein shake using protein powder, water and frozen mixed fruit.

I struggle to get 100 g most days, but I do find on the days I try hard that I have no interest in snacking or snacky carbs. Protein really curbs my hunger. I also do yogurt and eggs, and a protein shake when I remember. Is there a brand you like

@Pupowl i would def like to view your YT channel!

someone above asked what we'd like to get out of the group and for me it's primarily health, fitness, nutrition, weight - talk, tips, struggles, wins, support, etc... i find alot of the posts are social, vacations, life events, and when there isn't that connection to "shape shifting" I will scroll past, but sometimes i also feel like i'm interrupting a social conversation with health/weight talk so I keep my updates to weigh in day. i understand completely why some are in need of social connection, but it's not the main reason i'm here. sometimes i will go over to the weekly challenge thread or even the main MFP forums for more focused reading.

i like the idea someone mentioned of having thought topics/questions around health and i will like to engage.

Well I officially have lost 5lbs in 3 weeks due to my new workout program using only body weight and flushing out inflammation- I wore a skirt today to church that I haven't been able to fit in for over 3 years
I'm pretty proud I was able to finally get going again it's been very hard & frustrating to not be able to lose weight just the same 2lbs on & off

Well done! I also have a stack of clothes that I can’t wait to fit into again. How often do you do the workout?

@ganival I’m using the LeanFit from Costco. It’s honestly not the best tasting but it’s ok and the price is right.
I find when I do frozen berries I can taste it less. Oddly as well if I use a blender instead of a shaker cup it tastes better in milk.

I’ve also been using it to make protein ice cream for my Ninja Creami

The program is 5 days a week for 20 min/day, but I don't keep to that - I also go to my yoga studio 2x/week along with rest days so I follow what is to be done on the day I left off - not overtraining my body which seems to be responding

Hi it says you need to complete 30 min of running , 30 min of strength & 30 min of stretching for the next term
I'm unable to run - my knees can't take it and just doing a yoga program without weights - would I still be able to join?

@LaurieWrobo YES!! There are always modifications for any exercise.

@lolakinks - I read a post from someone yesterday who was just starting out on MFP and said she was only seeing up and down movement. Two experienced people - who had sustained major weight loss of about 100 pounds each - encouraged her to focus on 5-10 pound goals. One person said that it takes 4-6 weeks to start seeing a pattern. It’s frustrating but slower loss is more likely to be sustained and may reduce stretch marks and loose skin. So, I like to think about the process as a new way of eating and moving instead of a temporary ‘weight loss’ diet. It’s certainly not easy and that’s why we’re here to support one another— Wishing you the best!

What I’ve been tracking…

July; Wk5 (so far):

• Log / Exe(1Hr) / Und-Cs
  🔴🔴🔘🔘🔘🔘🔘
  (Yes Days: 0 / 2 Days)
  
• No Drinking
  🅾️🅾️🔲🔲🔲🔲🔲
  (Just Said NO Days: 0 / 2 Days)
  

Sunday: Late night munchies again.. on a Sunday again. Also I worked on Sunday so I could be off this coming Friday. Little switch ups in my schedule tend to throw me …and I don’t thing I captured all my calories/carbs
Monday: got my workouts in but still struggling to get back to normal eating
