@renaegry - Hope you are having fun with the steps challenge. You sure are getting in some great step counts! Keep on moving! 🚶🏿🚶🏿🚶🏿
@Apple852hk - Great job looking at your results and thinking about a small, manageable change you can work on. Baby steps, day by day, will get you there!
@Jactop - Great day! And congratulations on being on the Week 1 leader board! 🎇🎈👍🏽
@Katmary71 - Congratulations on being on the Week 1 leader board! 🎇🎈👍🏽
Hurray for birthdays that go on for a bit! 🎂🎉
And I so feel you on your comments about veggies and beans. Eating lots of vegetables and beans has been transformational for me! 🥬🥣🥗
(For the new people -- I am a huge fan of the idea of making small changes to make you 1% better each day!)
@its_cleo - Your check-in note is SO inspiring. Your 5 for 90 work, including forgoing fast food on a hard day, is really impressive. 🏆 Keep up the great work!
@mrmcgrath - I think your exercise check-in probably was intended to say "none," but the "e" got dropped and so I read it in French. "Non to exercise!" Perhaps it will be a "oui" today? Anyway, you made this silly person smile! Hurray for getting to see that oldest child of yours. 💗 My oldest just started high school, and that has been a big leap! He'll be off at college soon -- yeep! (In case it speaks to you, I was reminded of a great song, On Children by Sweet Honey in the Rock.)
@hinemoa2088 - You are only up a smidge. Keep up the work, and it will eventually move! 👍🏽
@bethanie0825 - What a great string of steps days there! Keep it up! 🚶🏿🚶🏿🚶🏿2 -

Sunday Check in
Calories: under
Water: over
Exercise: 30 minutes of cardio (at 6:30 am!!
)
I went to my church potluck this evening and I think I did pretty well. I brought foods that fit into my eating plan but did eat a couple of mini corndogs. Those things just call my name!! But I got in a lot of activity and my steps are almost at 10,000 for the day.
@Trishastime and @apple852hk , I know having a gain sucks and makes you mad. But you just get right back to what you know to do and it will come off. We are here to support you where in any way you need us too!

Hey there! Just catching up after the weekend.
Weighday today comes after my FIRST CHRISTMAS DINNER yesterday - yes really.
Hence after a good week in recovery, no weight loss, still 154lbs (though I'm not so actively pursuing it, being only post surgery week 7).
Steps:
4th - 9631, 5th - 7671, 6th - 9314 - not too shabby. Friday, Saturday lots of pain though, so couldn't do too much else.
Calories have been under every day except Sunday - so a week's deficit of 2037, hence I might see something next week instead. Water - only just managed it.
1. Time - watched Dirty John and did some knitting.
2. Exercise - a few walks triggered activity logs over the weekend.
3. yes - just about
4. Trigger food - still no booze. Gave in to a chocolate craving though.
5. Yays - got to see my Dad in his care home. Went to see Mom's grave and found my grandparents' one which we'd lost track of without the parents about.2 -

Yay. When I woke up with numb hands from water retention I was a little worried about my weigh in. I ate a lot of inflammatory foods yesterday; sugar, dairy, white flour plus eggs and celery which are on my allergy list. I should see a decent loss next weigh in if I stick to my food plan1 -

I tend to overdo it on the weekend and then by Monday I'm in pain! good steps though!2 -
Hey @leonadixon -- 🎈 Good for you for getting the steps in, and do be sure to take good care of yourself! ⛑️ Better to ramp up exercise slowly than hurt yourself doing too much! 🚶🏿😊 👐
@Katmary71 - Hang in there and keep doing all the good work! 💪🏽 Sometimes lots of workouts causes me to retain water (recovery, I think), so maybe you, too. You are doing so great. Long-term, those birthday dinners will just be in the noise. And, hey, 2 birthday dinners! You had a lot of birthday love going around!! 🎂🎁🎈🎉🍾
@mrmcgrath - Oh my gosh, working on one house with the plan to tackle another next! It's a great problem to have AND it sounds like a lot of work! 💪🏽💪🏽 The part of me that has been known to watch remodeling shows thinks some parts could be fun. Though those shows always gloss over the sweat and the time! 😅😅😅2 -

Monday Check-in:
Calories: under, carb count is wayyyyy over
Water: over
Exercise; 30 minutes of 21-Day Fix (Dirty 30)
A friend who I hadn't seen in a couple of years came to town and took me to lunch. It was fun and I did my best by having a grilled chicken salad without a bunch of stuff on it. Although I did eat every single candied pecan on the salad, so my carb count went out the window.
Tomorrow I'm going to lunch with another friend at Jason's Deli. I have already looked at the menu and will stay on plan!!
STEP CHALLENGE
Today we have been counting our steps for one week and we are rocking it!!
Once I get everyone step count for today I will post a graph and announce our weekly winner!
I do need the following counts:
@its_cleo, 10/5
@bethanie0825, 10/5 & 10/6
@digger61, 10/6
@raleighgirl09, 10/4,10/5,10/6
If you already posted your steps and I missed it then please forgive me and post again. I'm trying to make sure to check every one of your posts but I'm sure things slip by me. It really helps me if you post and bold it! 
If any of you want to participate in the step challenge who isn't just let me know and get to counting and recording those steps!!

Monday checkin (or - Sat-Mon checkin!!)
Steps: so many days behind in reporting! 10/4 - 15,739, 10/05 - 13,849, 10/06 - 11,947, 10/07 - sadly, under at 9.328 @TeresaW1020 - apologies for a deluge of info!
5 for 90:
Make time for yourself: very light on me-time as I had guests and there hasn't been much alone time to be had
Exercise 30 minutes a day: a 3 mile intentional walk each day and then various walking to shop or adding another small walk
Hydrate: on target
Give up a trigger behavior: most definitely have to be mindful not to let a slack weekend turn into a slack week following it!!!
Thankful for: cooling weather and a wonderful visit with family
Remember the good, be the good, encourage others on their journey
Too many calories on most days for the last several and eating into the deficit created by some good exercise and walking. Plenty of hydration and don't feel I was out of control, but was not avoiding everything that would have been more in line with goals. On to a new week - and no company next weekend... =>3 -
