Don't wait until you feel ready or feel comfortable, just move out and put one foot in front of the other and head toward your goals. There is no other way to get there.

Good news and bad news:
Good news is I joined a Dragon Boat Racing Team and a Step Challenge this Month so I'm going to be especially active in May. Combining an average of 15,000 steps a day with one of the toughest total body workout I've ever done - I'm looking foward to seeing myself reach my goal weight and most fit ever in June!
Bad News: No winners circle for me this month because I've been a bit MIA with being sick and tremendously busy. I'm happy to be back for the rest of it.

I am so humbled by this group. Wow the amount of exercise you guys do is more than amazing! There's no way some are in this for weight loss. I'd like to say it's inspiring but it makes me feel like a loser on most days. I know if I hit 11k steps because my back hurts can't imagine the amount you guys achieve kudos!11 -

Walking Challenge at work all week, and I'm team captain, herding 15 people to greater step achievements! Looking forward to sneaking even more activity into the day. We've got a staff meeting tomorrow, and enough people are participating in the step challenge that they actually proposed the 20-minute walk to the meeting location in addition to a shuttle to get people there.
@am_change, happy birthday! Hope it is a great one.
@Ketch_22, I know it's cliche, but if this journey has taught me anything, it's to not compare myself to others and to simply challenge myself. We've all got different priorities, goals, bodies, and circumstances. What we've got in common is that we're all here and trying to be better, whatever that means for each of us. 8 -
The sun finally came out so we got our beach walk in!!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, swimming, 20 minutes; 20-minute walk on the beach!!!
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes7 -
Yes x 3, 35 min interval walk/run
@ForAmanda222 congrats on the 7lb loss!
@am_change Happy Birthday!
@Ketch_22 Hugs. No one else matters though, right? We all just have to do the best that we can do at the moment.
@mckinlau Welcome!6 -
Exercise - still working on it. Breaking into chunks since my foot injured. Another 5 minute set & will be done.
Calories - well under budget!
Tracking- every bite! 6 -
3 X’s Yes
One hour full body strength class. Did pretty well on Calories, about 200 under. Still working on keeping my calories up while I’m building muscle.7 -
@Ketch_22 The best advice is to only compare you today to you yesterday or a month ago. On the other hand, if you must compare yourself to someone, choose me. I’m at maintenance at a level that is okay for me. I’m not svelte but I am fit to be able to do all of the things that I love to do. Most days, I walk between 20-40 minutes at 4 mph. 2-3 days per week I do basic cardio/strength exercise. I’m happy and easy to compete with.
Please don’t compare yourself to others. There will always be folks better or worse.7 -
Exercise today: 25 minutes of active stretches and Pilates
Calories: under by a lot
Tracking: good6 -
Exercise: Yes; a long walk to, from, and around the beach for about 90minutes. hoping to do more of that more often since we moved to the coast this month
Calories: Yes
Tracked: Yes
@Ketch_22 you're not a loser! this isn't/shouldn't be a competition of who does more than the other, but rather a place to challenge our own selves everyday to make healthier habits & choices, and a place to keep each other accountable and encouraged. you're doing fine, and no one is (and shouldn't be) here to judge 9 -
I was going to use a pass day yesterday but I decided to sit my butt down and track everything I ate at Mother’s Day brunch and it wasn’t as bad as I thought - even counting the mimosas 😉 Then my daughter and I did a good brisk walk around the mall because the weather was so lousy. After a light dinner, I ended the day with a yes, yes, yes and it felt great!
Today I spent most of the day working at the computer so I really needed to squeeze in my 20 minutes. I also had a ton of little things to accomplish around the house so I set a timer on my phone and did them all as fast as I could. Win-win! Yes x 3

Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Had a rough couple of days, hoping I can get back on track tomorrow. Lots of family drama stuff happened over the weekend and I’m having a hard time shaking it off.
5/11 Pass day #2
5/12 yes x 3
5/13 Pass day #3
I know I will end up using more pass days this month due to upcoming vacation but I will still keep posting here. I really like the extra accountability and inspiration from everyone! 😊

@BonnieHosk85 so glad the sun came out today!
@am_change HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎉🎈
@Ketch_22 Compare yourself to me - my exercise is 20-30 minutes of walking per day and sometimes I can't even make myself do that! I'm trying to lose weight but am also just trying to get up and outside and active! 🤗
@globalhiker I'm sorry you're feeling stiff and achey today. Hope tomorrow is better!6 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 3 mile run outside this morning, 1.4 mile walk this evening.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!
Happy Birthday, @am_change!
@Ketch_22 -- I agree with everyone else -- don't compare yourself to anyone but yourself and how far you've come. Everyone's journey is different, and everyone's abilities are different -- that's what makes us all unique. You do you and you will be successful! 6 -

Not everyone does the same. Some of us have health issues myself included. Sometimes I have to deal with major fatigue. I have to pace myself and know what I can do. I'm very proud of what I'm able to do. I don't compare myself to an athlete nor will I ever be. I'm active, and happy and feel my best when I eat right and get at least 20 minutes a day of exercise be it light or vigorous.. it all counts. If we develop habits that we can live with we will succeed.
Your not a failure your in this group. Your trying that's the main thing.5 -
