Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I wanted to get this great deal out there before it expires....

If you're interested in the SHAPA scale, you can now get the scale along with a lifetime membership!

 

Pay for the scale you want ($99 is the cheapest option); choose the Lifetime membership, put in the code BLACKFRIDAY2025.  And you're set!!  The regular price for Lifetime is $299, so this is really a deal.

If you already have a Shapa scale, you can still get this deal (minus a scale); just go to their FaceBook page: Shapa Health and send them a message stating you have a scale but would like to get the $150 Lifetime offer.  They'll ask for your email (use the one associated with your Shapa app/account) and then they'll send you a link to do that!  I know this because I just did it!  This offer expires Monday, so get yours today!

New to Shapa?  Shapa is a numberless scale; it will give you a color rather than a number!  If you're obsessed with the number on the scale....Shapa is the scale for you!  Visit their website at:  My Shapa .  Shapa does require the use of their app to work.

An Update!

I haven't been missing; just accessing and trying to keep moving forward.

I have decided to finally cut ties with Weight Watchers and move forward with Lose-It.  Though I could continue using my WW scale, it doesn't automatically link to Lose-It and without the WW app, I can't use another app to make them work together.  I decided to get a Withings Scale which is compatible with Lose-It:

It's app will work with Lose-It.  Obviously you don't need a scale that automatically connects to the app to use Lose-It, you can input your weight manually...but I just like the gadgets!  I'm a gadget girl! 😊  

Anyway, KICKSTART will be starting again in January and you can register at this link:  KICKSTART REGISTRATION   It's totally FREE, so what do you have to lose??  Get support and advice and help through your journey.  There are guides & journals available to purchase if you feel that you need that; but it is not necessary.  You can just use any journal you'd like or a plain notebook or nothing at all.  I've tried several different types which you can see here and here.  This time around I'm just going to use my Lose-It app; it has a place for notes; and like I said above, I do better with gadgets!  You Do You!

Fiber

 One of the things I hear a lot about is getting your fiber in.  When WW started allowing other nutritional values, I begin to hear people complaining about not being able to get their fiber in.

First....just because WW allows you to the ability to see nutritional values other than just points....doesn't mean you have to use that tool.  You can set the ones you want to follow or just turn on the ones you want.  If you try to hit the levels on all of them, you'll become a little overwhelmed.  Just food for thought.

Anyway, my doctor advised at least 25g of fiber a day.  I've discovered that that seems to be pretty much the minimum for women and I see a lot complain how hard it is.  When my doctor advised this amount, she also said not to get the fiber from supplements as supplements are very low in grams as far as fiber.

I'm here to say that fiber isn't that hard.  If you're on WW you may have heard of 647 bread.  2 slices of the Italian 647 bread will give you 14g of fiber; have it as a sandwich, have it with breakfast and you'll have 14 of the 25g you need!

A few posts back, I posted about a wrap I bought at Aldi's; one wrap is 14g of fiber.  Wrap eggs in that for breakfast or make a sandwich wrap.

It's really not that hard, read labels!

Lose-It

Lose-It is one of the weight loss apps I have tinkered with.  My WW membership ends December 1st and I do not plan on keeping it any longer.  I do like that they added the options to track other nutritional values, however, I think it's best for me to move on from WW.

I was happily surprised when I opened the Lose-It app today and discovered a new lay-out; not only am I able to track calories; I also have the option to choose other nutritional values and they will appear on the front screen (you use to have to scroll to other screens to see those).  It keeps the totals at the top and also give you the totals for each meal/snack!

Below are the values available:

I also find the note area useful and figure now I don't need a paper journal/datebook/etc.. because I can do everything pretty much in the app!

I think that this will be the app I'll be using.  I already have the lifetime membership for it, so that only makes sense.

Quickie Update!

 I can't believe it's been so long since I updated!!

I haven't been doing well but my Shapa is back in the Green zone - which is a win for me!

I also helped proof read Jean-Luc & Nick's journals for Winter 2026 Kickstart!  As always... Kickstart is FREE and you can sign up for the Winter session that begins in January now!  Journals and cookbooks are available to purchase now, but as I always say - they are not necessary.
