I didn't want to say anything about your radical weight gain, just your wandering finger on the keyboard! You'll get to 170, don't you worry! You typed it, you make it come true, right?

Do you struggle to find time in a busy schedule to exercise? Can't get out to walk because of the icky weather outside? Below are suggestions for 5-minute fitness routines you can do inside, at home, with no (or little) equipment). They include ones for beginners as well as more advanced options. Give them a try. Include one (or more) when you have a free 5 minutes in your day (and we know that we ALL have 5 minutes, even if we can't carve out 30 minutes or an hour).

Hi Stacy - I have updated your weight (I know, it isn't what you wanted, but you know what to do!) but I don't have you on the list for the steps team. Keep tracking, and if someone drops out we could certainly use your awesome numbers in there. Keep posting them, and I'll take a note of them in case there are changes on the team. There is usually at least one person who doesn't keep up tracking steps in there, so you're our top #1 backup when that happens. Thanks!!1 -

That is fantastic! Next Tuesday we'll all prepare a happy dance to do with you. People should take a video of that and you'll burn a lot of calories just laughing

Still keeping my workouts very low-key. I did a lot of leg extensions yesterday though and plan on increasing the weight next time. Gotta build these chicken legs up!

No worries about delay! As long as your steps for the week are all recorded by end of day Saturday (including Saturday's), all is good. And you are seriously kicking some posteriors! 40 floors - gotta be as breathtaking as snowshoeing!3 -
I know it is useless to moan about the weather, but it is RAINING. I hate rain in winter. My daughter is in Alberta this week and it is -35 this morning! I'm almost jealous. I'd rather need my longjohns than my raincoat... I know, I live in Canada for a reason
I'm really enjoying counting steps, way more than I thought I would. Yesterday my car was in the garage, and I walked the whole time it was there. The road was not very nice (kind of busy and no sidewalk!), but I got some groceries and lots of steps in. Today won't be so good. The deep snow just turns to slush under every step, and the more we do that the worse the ice will be in a couple of days. Harrumph.
So it's extra indoor workout day. And lots of vacuuming or something. Write me some funny stories and get me out of my grumpy funk, ok?4 -

Stacy’s steps are so much better than mine. I’d be happy to give her my place. I will still post and try and improve my steps. But, hers will get the team better numbers and top honors. Let me know.
I ended yesterday 2/4 at 5,200 steps.0 -

Happy (Chinese) New Years, Everyone!!
I hit my personal target milestone today - "Normal BMI by (Chinese) New Years" weighed in at EXACTLY 25.00 BMI .. on a weekday!
The next personal MFP-type target is "Start Transition to Maintenance before end of March" (~ 6 pounds to go)
The next personal NSV main target is "Do up wedding dress before 31st Wedding Anniversary (April 30th)" - followed immediately by " .... and KEEP being able to do it up every month after that!" Only ~1 inch to go .....5 -

CONGRATS!! Success is SWEET!!!3 -
I continue to do well on my CICO, even if my TDEE is still low. Eating healthily and getting a few steps in here and there. Can walk upstairs again as well. Day by day improvement!9

Your steps are fine - I agree that Stacy's numbers are seriously large, but it isn't about stepping back just because someone is better. If you enjoy tracking your steps and being on the team helps you squeeze out a few more steps than you would have, stick with it! As I said, there is almost always someone who just stops tracking along the way. I will be lucky to make 4,000 today, but it would surely be even less if I was not counting and having to report at the end of the day.2 -

2/4 10,876.
The actual team in the inter-team competition has 10 members already, but I'll track you "off book" in case we lose any other members! In any case, keep aiming for that 10,000 - I rarely make it either, but it's good trying. And it's fun to see how the other teams are doing - check out the spreadsheets (link on the F2F main page).1 -
Another very thought-provoking post from my other Just For Today thread ....Another good article from GEM:
It's evident when someone truly appreciates something they have, because they take great care of it.
Ever been in a home that you could tell was kept REALLY well by the owner? It was kept tidy, necessary upkeep was always done, and you could tell the person living in that home valued where they were. Maybe it wasn't even the biggest, most extravagant home- but that home was cherished.
Conversely, have you ever been in a home that you could just TELL wasn't valued? Maybe it was really dirty, unkempt, and you could just tell the owner didn't put a lot of effort into it.
Have you ever thought of you body as your home? Think about it- your body truly is the only place you will ever live in, all your life long. You can't trade it in for another one. The one you have, is the one you'll always be in.
Maybe instead of viewing your body as a loathed placed you HAVE to live in, you can shift your perspective a bit. You GET to live in the body you have! And just like a home, it will be as healthy and thriving as you make it.
Just like a little TLC can completely transform a house, your body can completely transform if you put in the effort to cherish it. Start to treat it like your dream home, and it will truly BECOME your dream home.

Thanks @jugar, I'll still track my steps with my fitbit. It also tells me to get up and move if I've been sitting too long. If I was busy, I would ignore it. Now I get up and walk the hallway at work or do a quite set of stairs (I'm on the second floor).
