Our team members seem to be making lots of progress. I’m reading so many positive reports about steps and weight loss — keep up the good work! I found it hard to actualize my workout plan while caring for my mother in Boston over the last couple of months. I’m going to start again! @Pupowl — Are you ready to re-start 75…

Here’s my (late) weigh-in report — Name: PatriceFitnessPal Weigh-in Day: Thursday PW: 149 CW: 148 SW: 168 LtD: 20 Have a great weekend, everyone! Go ShapeShifters!

@jessicakrall8 and @frankwbrown I know I owe you a weekly weigh-in report. I had to rush out early this morning and didn’t get a chance to use my brother’s scale without disturbing him. I’ll try again tomorrow morning (Friday). Thanks for understanding. I return to Virginia late tomorrow night so next week will be better.…

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/48898908#Comment_48898908 That was a general shout out to all the steppers above. I admire all the walkers in our group for getting out there every day! Congratulations to @izzyred9400, @Zaxa2021 and @looneycatblue for topping the charts last week! @alleykat - You…

@Zaxa2021 - Did you already complete your doctor appointment? If so, I hope it went well. I like @p8m6bwghh9’s recommendation to write down questions ahead of time because it’s difficult for me to remember what to ask once the exam starts. It’s nice to have @abrightrn‘s nursing experience to guide us! — and good idea to…

@looneycatblue - No gain is a win! You’re doing great. I hope you feel better soon @nancyinmiami. I’m glad your sense of humor is still intact!

Welcome to the Shape Shifters’ group @rwillems! Congratulations to all the dedicated steppers and this week’s winners! Great job @alleykat69, @abrightrn, and @Zaxa2021. There were still a lot of holiday treats left in early January so it’s impressive to see a loss.

I apologize for reporting a day late. Here’s my weekly weigh-in report — Weigh-in day: Thursday PW: 148.2 CW: 149 SW: 168 LtD: 19.0 I’m staying at my brother’s house so I only have an analog scale to use. I haven’t been able o exercise much while caring for my mother, but I’m so glad to give my brother and sister a break.…

It’s good that you and your friend were able to help the woman who fell @izzyred9400. Her grandson must have been scared. I’m glad to hear that she’ll be alright. 👍🏼

Hi Everyone! I’m Patrice, a 59 year old woman living in northern Virginia, USA. I own a small consulting business, working with state and local leaders to improve education and health services. It’s a new year and I’m looking forward to another fresh start! I started MFP at 168 pounds in late 2019. I’ve lost close to 20…

When I just tried to open the Habit Tracker, I got an error message, at first. However, I tried a second time and it worked. I’m including a direct link to the spreadsheet here and hoping it helps — https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P1nGu2zqZFSckT4L8e7Woq8IcLJEUoJIep1ux4MR0BE/edit?usp=drivesdk The new landing page…

@looneycatblue - I hadn’t noticed that the exercise calories aren’t syncing to MFP. I log most activities manual b/c I usually forget to select the activity on my watch and start it; but, I checked my Garmin watch activity when I saw your message. My exercise calories aren’t syncing either. I referred to the…

You listed some very SMART goals @LaurieWrobo! Thanks for the motivational nudge for me to add more detail to my general goal of improving my nutrition and exercise in the coming year. I will pre-log my meals for the week, making sure to include plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fish.…

Here’s my weekly weigh in report — Weigh-in Day: Thursday PW: 146.7 CW: 148.2 SW: 168 Ltd: 19.8 This is my baseline for the new year. I’m eager to start improving my nutrition and exercise in 2026! My first micro-goal is to eat get back to 20 pounds lost. Best wishes, Shape Shifters!

I feel the same way @Zaxa2021. It’s time for a reset. Fortunately for us, it’s the perfect time for a reset or to get our mojo back @Krysless2 and @frankwbrown. @frankwbrown — My list for 2026 looks much like yours . I’m even looking forward to learning guitar again. I’m impressed by the way you are letting go of the past…

I’ve been giving some thought to my routine for 2026, and I’m also hoping to set realistic goals for the coming year. Today, I finally switched my winter and summer clothes. There’s only one storage bin because I’ve been reducing the overall number of items each year. Eventually, I’d like to have enough space in my closet…

Hello Shape Shifters! Here’s my weekly weigh-in report — Weigh-in day: Thursday PW: 145.3 CW: 146.7 SW: 168 LtD: 21.3

I love all the photos and funny holiday memes! Thanks for sharing the fun times and awe-inspiring experiences of life and nature! Best wishes, everyone!

Hello Shape Shifters! Here’s my weekly weigh-in report — Weigh-in day: Thursday PW: 144.0 CW: 145.3 SW: 168 LtD: 22.7 After a couple of good nights of sleep, I’m feeling more focused today. I’ll get back on track starting today. Best wishes, Shape Shifters!

Thanks for preparing and posting some questions about the current book @nancyinmiami! I appreciate it.

Hello, Shape Shifters! Here’s my extra late weigh-in report. I apologize for the delay! Weigh-in day: Thursday PW: 143.0 CW: 144.0 SW: 168 LtD: 24 Thank you for your patience. It was a long drive from Boston to Virginia but it was a very productive visit. My siblings and I got my brother’s house ready for my mother to move…

@frankwbrown and @jessicakrall8 — I had a hectic day and forgot to weigh in this morning. I’ll post my weigh-in report tomorrow, if that’s alright with you. I apologize for the delay!

Thank you for the hugs @abrightrn! I feel better already! It has been a whirlwind week, but I hired two people who will help care for my mother. So, that feel like good progress. I have a couple more days here in Boston to set up my brother’s house so our mother has a smooth transition from the rehab center where she’s…

It was nice to read so many updates today. It sounds like there’s lots going on during the holiday season — family time, dancing, and traveling! 😊 Today, I took my brother’s dog for a long walk along the beach. He loves fetching sticks and taking in all the smells along the shore. I’ve been running a bit but I haven’t…

Gorgeous picture! The moon was beautiful over the ocean in Boston tonight, too — so full and high in the sky! I hope you feel better soon @saritalowton!

Last week, @LaurieWrobo shared some reflection questions with us. I’m going to post my reflections periodically throughout the month — one question at a time. Here’s the first question on the list: What moment, event or achievement of 2025 are you most proud of? For me, it was nice to see my son graduate from college in…

Hello, Shape Shifters! Here’s my weekly weigh-in report — Weigh-in day: Thursday PW: 143.9 CW: 143.0 SW: 168 LtD: 25 I’m staying at my brother’s house and he has an analog scale with less detail than my digital scale at home. So, I’ll have to report round numbers this week and next week. The scale seemed to read 142 but…

Welcome to our new and returning Shape Shifters! I’m Patrice, a 59 year old woman living in the Washington, DC area (across the Potomac River in VA, USA) with my husband and one adult son who finished college in May. Our younger son (the recent graduate) is working part time while looking for a full-time job in his field.…

Here’s my weekly weigh in report — Weigh in day: Thursday PW: 145.0 CW: 145.7 SW: 168 Ltd: 22.3 I’ve been taking a break to recover from some injuries but I’m gradually feeling better. I’m going to rest for a couple more days, but I’ll stock up on some healthy food over the next couple of days to prepare for the new week.…
