Oh Lisa....I am sorry to hear about your ankle. I wish you a speedy recovery. I am tracking my steps like you with categories for which steps I go up and then place a slash for every time I go up and down. So I am doing good with this one.
I haven't tracked the 1st 2 days of the week so I have to do it everyday now I am a parcrastinator for sure.....

Melanie, good thing there are seven days in a week!1

@BJerzy - hope you feel better soon!
@HASWLRS - hope your ankle heals soon - remember ice is your friend right now!
I'm slowly working on the step challenge - being careful not to hurt my knee. It is slowly healing thanks to lots of advil! I've going to avoid the dance videos but trying my hardest to stay under calories. Yesterday I missed it by 3 calories - so close!0 -
@BJerzy Hope you feel better soon!
@HASWLRS Shame about the ankle! Hope it heals quickly and you can participate in your 5K graduation race.
Dance videos...planned for Friday
Steps I have been tracking everytime I have been going up or down...should not be a problem.
Under calories 2/5 so far
Didn't do much on Monday and Tuesday bit got in an hour's exercise this morning. Yet to update my numbers this week.0 -
Hey all my unfortunate teammates in the injury box this week...
First off, sorry for all your ailments and setbacks. Good juju to hasty healing.
On a lighter note.. Didn't I read something about doing the dance videos sitting down if you have to? I know you shouldn't press an injury but seriously, who can't rock the chair dancing?! Lol You should see my moves when I'm driving down the road! Too bad the coordination ends when I'm on my feet. Ha!

@BJerzy --So sorry you are sick. Feel better soon!
@HASWLRS --Oh no!! So sorry about your ankle. I would say don't push it with the running, but I like V's idea about chair dancing.
I'm doing well with the step challenge. I have to go up and down the stairs at work a minimum of twice/day, but I've made a point to find excuses to go an extra time or 2 each day this week. Added to my stair master steps on Monday, I'm trucking along.
I meant to start the dance videos last night, and then I forgot and went to bed. That's okay b/c I really need to do them tonight if I want to end up under calorie goal. I was under on monday and slightly over yesterday. I would like to go into to the weekend with a cushion if possible.

Ugh I just typed a long response thanking you all for the well wishes, wishing @HASWLRS a speedy recovery, and describing why I hate my chronic sinus issues because I feel like I should be able to do much more than I can.
But I will retype the section about the stairs. I am sitting at over 1000 steps and I think I missed some! To get into my house, it's 13 steps. It's a two story house, and that's a14-step flight. To get to my classroom, it's 24 steps. Today I made excuses to go downstairs 3 times during the school day, and then we had parent teacher conferences and I had to go up and down another three times!1 -
Awww hope you guys feel better, get better soon.
Put in some numbers for this week already so yay.
As far as the challenges:
1. 1778/1778 - completed! That was my exercise minutes for the day. Good burn for sure
2. 0/6 videos- will get to them tomorrow or Friday
3. 2/5 under calories days-yay, I'm excited because I'm determined to finally achieve this challenge this week.0 -
Hey all. I am having a decent week. I am learning to say NO to the pantry, even though it calls me over every night!! LOL! Stayed under my calorie goal last night so I'm at 3/5! I finished the dance videos on monday, so good to go there. I'm at 778 stairs. Not to bad! smile:
Hope you all have a good day and those on the injured list are feeling a little stronger today than yesterday!

Those dance videos are fun! I've added a couple to my youtube playlist, and the stretching one too. Mi nina bonita is my fave!0

Just a quick check in..hope all of you struggling or injured or not feeling well have quick recoveries! I love my team thread and support.. i dont always get to post or answer back but you all are a lifeline in this venture and i appreciate you!!
It's been a stressful week here... my youngest kiddo the one on crutches was physically assulted at school. He is doing somewhat better but the week has been spent dealing with xrays and doctors and worry.
I've done well eating.. just not logging so not sure i will be able to backfill to meet this challenge. Steps.. will definitely get that completed..i feel thats all i do up and down..
Videos. May or may not happen depending on my alone time. Todays alone time i came home amd slept for 3 hrs then again for 2 more this evening. Stress i guess but better than eating!
Will log what hours i have when i get a chance... they are a bit fewer though...sorry for that. Maybe i can pick it up this weekend.1 -
@sandkp.....I am sorry to hear about the rough thing you are going thru....glad we are here as support....
I am still trying to figure it out is it the time change with getting so dark so early that is causing the lack of motivation or what.
As far as the challenges here are my status..
Journaling 2/5
Steps 833 so between now and Sunday I need 315 a day. I got this.
Happy Friday everyone.0 -
@sandkp - sorry to hear about your son, hope he is ok.
I was thisclose to being a couch potato last night. I was feeling sluggish, tired, heavy, even a little cranky. Around 8:30, I started to feel guilty to the team, so I got up off the couch and worked out. Not gonna lie, I was tired. It was tough from start to finish and, I admit, wasn't my best effort. But I did it, and, wouldn't ya know... felt 100% better afterwards. Gets me every time. lol
4/5 food challenge - probably going out for dinner tonight so making salad for lunch, and fruits or veggies for snacks 5/5 5/5 5/5 My mantra for the day.
Have a good one!1 -

Ugh! I was over my calories yesterday by 150! I went to bed thinking I was ok. When I synced my fitbit this morning and it all updated...I saw red.
I didn't get any exercise in either. boo!

videos 6/6
stairs 1312
days under calories 4/5
Today is a new day...

Good morning all.
@enuf200 150 calories isn't too much... i am sure you can make it under today!
my fitbit sync to MFP has been off! I was under calories 4/5 this week, but somehow the sync shows zero back for some of the days and says over calories... i messed up Wednesday was definitely over but all others were under (double checked with fitbit register)...plan to be under today too,
Steps completed (thank you work walks-> i purposefully walk up the steps around the top floors and back down again 3 days at the office this week= not a lot of actual workout sessions, but designated walking time, i feel ready to push this body for a great workout this weekend. going to do those dance videos with the kids too.
Somehow we are the only team not in Peru yet. Come on guys we can do this!

Hi team!
What a full 2 weeks with family and food and good times. I finally stopped the downward creep of weight loss got back to my goal weight plus 3lbs more. I love it! But I'm now trying to drop 1-2lbs so my pants aren't uncomfortably tight. LOL. I find the tiny weight range available in the small pant sizes to be mystifying and really funny. Also, uncomfortable.
The weather has cooled off and I love it. I have chronic sleep issues and this time of year when my house gets really cool but not cold and the days are short is the only time I sleep well. I really enjoy it. But by sleeping those extra (much needed) two hours a night it really cuts into my available time to exercise.
Half of the dance videos are done, more than half of the stairs, and 3 days under goal. I should be able to complete all three challenges0 -

Ah Buggar me! I could help with that. I'll try to post what I have tallied so far when I get back from the vet. :-/1 -
Ok so have entered my numbers up until today As I'm gonna go workout now. I'm not gonna get challenge 3 done-unfortunately I enjoyed some wine last night and went out for lunch today which I know will put me over because I can't even think of all the food I had and the cost of it calorie wise. I'm going to do challenge number 2 tonight so that should be fun.
Also I'm noticing a lot of 0's on the spreadsheet so far for this week..hope some of those teammates log on a bit and help us out 0 -
Hey team... finished my climb earlier... sitting at 1890 thanks to my boy and his need of things up or downstairs.. and mom can do it easier and quicker than crutches kid can.
Thanks @summ72 and @enuf200 for your kind words.
Got some unexpected exercise today.. and thankfully im not really logging cause i dont think they have deer dragging as exercise..but i know it was mega work. Along with the hike to get back to dad and little guy. There is one little guy that thought 2016 was the worst ever after his misfortune lately.. but getting a 10pt to mount sure made his week. (And mom has some super lean meat for dinners coming soon!)
Sleep is gonna come soon and happy Sunday team.1 -
Well, I finished the step challenge today. I had to judge a speech competition at a local HS and 3 of my 4 rounds were in the basement level, plus I did the stairmaster again at the gym. Going to stop counting now. I also should be well under calorie goal today, so as long as I manage to do it again tomorrow, I should have those 5 points as well.
Steps = 1864
Dance videos = 6/6
Days under calories = 4/51 -
13 hours later. This is why I don't log often.
These are my stats thus far. They are a bit jumbled due to two day schedule days, 2 days no sleep, and a sadness. I did the best I could decifering what day ... Well honestly, what day I thought it was at the time. It's been a week. I digress.
Mon. 378. (Plus carry over from sun eve)
T/W. 419. (2 day-ish span)
W/Th. 372. (Sorta same "")
Thur. 216. (?Later that day...? Lol)
Fri. 34. (I just saw an arrow that
Points Thur cardio to Fri.
Makes sense now. )
Sat. 74
Challenge 1- 1778 steps. Complete!
Later in the week I saw "1/2 up 1/2 down" in my notes. Golden!
Challenge 2- Crap! I thought about it when I decided to dance clean the house this week (x2)! Lemme get back on that. ( HIGHLY RECOMMEND DANCE CLEANING!!!! )
Challenge 3- DONE! Unsolicited commentary... Please. I came back from my two week eval showing an almost 9 lb gain (could have been 6)! That had to go.
I didn't tally Monday tho. Although I got in enough activity and exercise to warrant a splurge (or three haha) I still didn't feel like adding up the calories that day. I'm in the clear today tho.
Oh my gosh, I have lots of notes. I forgot this was a quick logging.
That's what I have for now. Off to dance the night away!
Cheers team 3!

I've logged my gain this week, though it pained me to do it!
I was under calories (just), and I've moved a lot, but last week's TOM gain just kicked my butt! 10.1lbs!! Yowza. I managed to lose 7.8lbs of (presumably) water weight this week, but sadly wasn't enough to be a loss on the spreadsheet.
Onwards and downwards!0 -
Challenge 1 - 1504/1778 - will finish today
Challenge 2 - 6/6
Challenge 3 - 5/5! I'm so happy that I completed this! It's getting easier!
Have a happy sunday everyone!1 -
@Dictorbutt, got you added!
I am so sorry, team! I need to apologize to you all. I thought I fell into a pothole Tuesday evening, but it was actually the rabbit hole, because since then Alice and I have been enjoying an all-you-can-eat carb buffet with the Queen of (sluggish) Hearts and the Mad (f)Hatter! Thankfully, I didn't see any of you there, so I know you are all having a good week!
I will message all of you who still haven't entered anything on the spreadsheet. You can save me some time by getting on that right away!0 -
I "logged" on the sheet for the week...about an hour total. I spent 2 full days, plus 2 evenings after work in bed. I'm starting to get better so I will try to do the videos but my head is still very wonky when I move too much. I did get the steps done. If I can stay under today, I'll have the calories done. Yesterday was a "don't care" kind of day because it was a big football game and I could finally taste food and my husband likes me to have days where I don't worry about the food. I was almost 2000 calories over! But looking at my average for the week, if I spread that out, my calories for the week average 200 over goal each day. That sounds bad, except that maintenance gives me 500 extra calories a day. After a couple days of allowing this binge to clear out, I should not have gained weight this week.
It's a journey and I want it to be a lifestyle. That means I have to learn to balance the binge day with an overall healthy diet.
So I've now had two weeks in a row of terrible exercise minutes and marginal eating. Part of me is ready to give up, try to make it through the holidays and begin again in January. But because of this challenge, I want to finish strong with the team. If I can make it through the holidays and keep losing a pound or two, I think that will set me up for better 2017 success.
Sorry this was a long post. Don't know if I'm telling you guys or if I'm trying to convince myself haha. Thanks for listening!1 -

Sorry you are frustrated right now. A few folks are setting their mfp numbers to "maintaining" for the holidays and have found that a lot easier physically and mentally. It might help you with not wanting to give up and staying in the habit of logging onto mfp through the holidays. Again, just a suggestion.3
