    Weigh In

    PW: 151.2
    CW: 150.8

    Loss: 0.4

    I was hoping for a little more, but I'm happy it's a loss. Some of my healthy routines are becoming more normalized in my mind, it's starting to become more of a habit and a little less forced.

    Hi Shape Shifters! I saw this quote today and resonated with me greatly. Is there anything that you're wanting to do and fear is holding you back?
    For me, perfectionism and fear hold me back. It is like Nike says - just do it. :smile:

    @Beautiful pictures this week @Pupowl and @PatriceFitnessPal ...thank you so much for sharing your gifts...

    @Cyncia85 Thanks for asking...it was a rough week...emotional, very painful and yet there were little snippets of kindness here and there that brightened each day...found new support on Threads, now that I've left X (formerly Twitter)...had great conversations with my boss and several colleagues at work. I've been working very hard on my nutrition and it's going well. I keep reminding myself that every pound I lose takes 7 lbs of pressure off my joints and that keeps me going. Had two days this week that were better than the rest (Thu/Fri) and am trying to do a little more movement, either in Strength exercises (neck, arms and shoulders) and walking when I can, but trying not to push too hard. Until I get another 10-15 lbs off I'm not going to push for 10k steps a day again. I have to build back up slowly, but it's so hard when I miss it so much. Again, appreciate you checking on me...and @pupowl too...it's getting better. Two more weeks to get through and then I have a week off...

    General question for everyone...Is it horrible that I'm going to treat the upcoming holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) as regular days? Don't get me wrong...I'll be thankful and prayerful, but I'm not putting extra money or decor into it...just going to love on Betty, cook at home and just enjoy "me" time. All of my family are 10+ hours away...just going to be quiet and reflective this year...

    Good morning Shape Shifters. The weather was depressingly grey again, but I went out for my walk. It felt a little hard because this forest walk has some ups and downs and a lot of tree roots hiding under the leaves so I had to be very aware which was a little tiresome. Walk was nice and quiet though. I did laundry and relaxed with Tinus. He was very lazy and we only went outside twice. If I was a cat, I would be the same! Happy Sunday everyone <3

    Week2: -5.1lbs Loss
    ~ Added 3 mile jogging goal. Uneventful week so looks like that turned out good results
    ~ Not sure how accurate this loss is but it’s what I got for now
    Looking for new scale recommendations if anyone has any?? 👀
    the other day my husband got on our scale and said it seemed extremely low considering he just started dieting and he dropped like 7 lbs in a couple of days. I went to the gym that morning and compared my reading at home to the one at planet fitness (considering shoes and all) and it seemed to be way off from theirs so it might be time for a switch. I’ve had my eufy digital scale for around 5 years now and since I weigh every day I would prefer my next one to not rely on batteries.
