Good morning, all. It's a cold grey windy day in Ohio. But that won't get me down. Will workout later. I've been getting over 10,000 steps each day for the last few weeks. This is a great motivator to be on Fitbit app and then part of a workweek or weekend step challenge. Gives you that extra incentive to walk those steps, even if you are itching to go to bed.
Thanks Craig for moderating. That must take a lot of time; but you make a big difference in our lives. Keeps us on track. Xo4 -
Hi @JulieAL1969 sunny morning here in southern Ontario Canada -1C but will eventually warm up today... I use Fitbit as well and I m always looking for weekly /daily challenges... feel free to add me as a friend on the fitbit app as well at julie bernier.
And yes @craigo3154 thanks for guiding us in theses groups 3 -
Thank you @craigo3154! This group definitely help keep me on track!
I'm in southeastern Ohio, finally a sunny day. Hoping the rivers will recede and things can dry out.2 -
@JulieAL1969. @Djou11. @Ecowles675. Thank you. I continue to make the effort because it helps so many and I love watching other succeed.

Hey everyone! This is my 3rd month that I will be participating. I had a fantastic January and a not so great February. I’m going to try to make March my best month yet. I’m getting out of my rut now that the weather is starting to warm up here in southeast Texas. I ordered a fitness tracker (off brand from a Fitbit bc we are on one income and it’s all I can afford). I really only want it to track steps, dont really care for the bells and whistles so this one seemed perfect. I get it Thursday! I’m a stay at home mom and I’m embarrassed to say that I would be surprised if I got even 1000 steps a day much less 10000. My goal is to drastically up my movement and stay in my calories most days. Good luck to all of my teammates on losing that weight and getting healthy!
@craigo3154 I commend you for taking the time to do this for us every month. you make it so easy to participate! We appreciate your support.4 -
I was so excited to see I made it on a team today. Good morning from Boise, Idaho. It is -4 Celsius ( had to do the conversion) right now, but should warm up a little during the day. I have to say the cold makes it hard for me to want to move. I have a Fitbit...just since Christmas and thought it would be the “thing”....but realized I also need accountability and encouragement. I was a stay at home mom for as long as I could(son is college graduate) but now am at a desk job. It will be fun getting to know you all as we all are striving to get to that same healthy place! I would love to be added to anyone’s Fitbit.... Darcy Larson.3

Hi, welcome to the team, glad to have ya. I too find it hard to get motivated in the cold. My body wants to hibernate lol. I have a fitbit but not sure how to add people. They are great to have. Again welcome and have a blessed day.1 -
@JulieAL1969 , @Djou11, @Ecowles675 , and @aganey great to see ya again. Since in some places it is getting warmer, we are sure to see great results. Thank you for staying dedicated and I believe we may even see first place this time around, we were so close in Feb, so March is going to be successful as well. You all have a blessed day.3

Hi! I am ready for this challenge and plan to use the many tools I have learned to lose weight and build muscle this month. I’m pretty stuck in a rut and need a push to get the scale moving again. I just got back from beautiful southern TX to the cold midwestern plains and am not happy about the ice and snow I have to contend with here. Oh well, spring has to be coming, right? Meanwhile, workouts will be done inside. I have a Fitbit, too, and it’s a great tool to measure progress. I’m out to prove that it’s possible to get better as you get older. Thank you all in advance for your support.2

I'm not quite sure how to add a friend to my fitbit with just the name. I tried but couldn't. I'll try again. Xo1 -

@Lesscookies12 do I need to let Craig know about your name change? Great to still have you on our team.1 -
Heading into my second month. I'm shooting for March to be better than February. It is very motivating seeing everyone on the same journey that I am. @Craigo3154, I was so lucky to happen upon your February challenge just a few days before it closed. Now I'm ready for March. Thank you for all you do.2

Hey from NY, I am psyched to be here! You all have inspired me to get my old fitbit out (maybe Ill splurge on a new one!) I am sure they are better now. I am also trying to get to the pool to swim laps 3x per week. I am really determined to be done with this weight once and for all.
My plan is to be at goal by my nieces wedding August 25! I ordered dress 2 sizes too small today for the wedding lol! I adore it and will hang it up where I can see if for motivation!
Thanks Craig for doing all this work!3 -
I am Kim from FL. I am struggling with weight loss and seem to keep getting sick. A few weeks ago I had the flu, got over that and now I think I have a sinus infection from allergies. OMG I just want to feel better. I am a mother of 2 kids,17 and 7 and a Girl Scout leader. Oh and I’m moving in June so I’m looking into buy a home as well. I hope I can get back into a routine soon, but for now I am taking 1 day at a time! Welcome to all the new team members and all of our returning members as well. Let’s get this show on the road!!2

Hi team Flab-U-Less my name is Shawna and I am your captain. I am here to encourage everyone and help everyone the best I can. I am 43 and live in TN. I am a mother of four who are all adults except one who is a junior in high school. I am also a blessed grandmother of four but two of them are living in Ohio.
My goal for this month is to start logging my food again which helps me monitor my salt and sugar intake and I am wanting to lose ten pounds. What is everyone else's goal for this month?
Hope everyone has a blessed night.5 -

Hi all. Matt from Indianapolis. Waiting for spring while working on healthy habits. Excited to be part of the team.
Glad to have you, Matt. Welcome to the team. This is only my second month with the challenge but I love it. Great group of people all headed in the same direction - toward a healthy lifestyle and toward shedding unwanted weight.2 -
Got my fitness tracker yesterday but set it up today around 11 this morning. Since then I have walked 5,724 steps all inside my house because I didn’t leave it today. I’m anxious to hit 10k steps and hopefully make that a daily habit! I want to set myself some goals for March. I may be trying to over achieve but I really want to make this my norm even if it takes a couple of months to fully get there so here goes:
10k steps. Every. Single. Day
30 minute Barre workout on you tube 3 times a week
72 oz of water everyday
Stay in calories everyday without eating back exercise calories on most days
What are some of your goals for March?
