    @micki48 here are my steps for the rest of my week in confinement... its hard to get to my goal while not leaving the house as much. Thankful for runs in the afternoon and multiple little walks throughout the day.
    Its keeping me sane or at least in a better space... :wink:

    Hi everyone!!!

    I hope I got everyone's step reports. I fell down on the job a bit. Here's what I need for this past week...(week 3)

    @Gidgitgoescrazy Thurs-Sat
    @Shexio Thurs-Sat
    @KellyBgetsfit Tues 16th
    @evangsimmons170 All week
    @lovethyneighbor Saturday

    Get those steps in as soon as you can and I promise I'll do a report this week.

    Last last week, Week 2, we had a lot of missing steps, but still managed to walk 317,439 steps together. And boy, was it a crazy week.

    1st micki48 77,814
    2nd @Gidgitgoescrazy 48,653
    3rd @Steph1498 46,766 with Friday and Saturday missing and STILL!!!


    Congratulations to everyone. It's hard with everything else on our plates/minds. Try to take some steps for yourself.

    There was potential for that to be sooo much worse! I always start strong visiting family then it turns into a snacking gluttonfest for me. I've been snacking every night since returning home. I need to be disciplined as I was in January & February.

    I've had some stellar runs this month, & I am getting a little faster. This morning was an awesome 6.67 miles.

    snacking gluttonfest. I like that one - but hope you can make it stop!! Pickles. Grapefruit. Eat something sour sometimes and the desire for something truly destructive fades out. And if you eat a whole jar of pickles, not too much harm is done! Your running is impressive, though - well done!

    My husband hates pickles, but I would do that otherwise. 😊

    @jugar I am actually doing well with my Beachbody workouts, I'm just not getting a lot of steps, but thanks for the suggestion.

    @micki48 8413, sorry, I didn't realize I had missed the entire week!

    @micki48 I really thought I had posted last week's steps but I couldn't find the post. I'm so sorry for the delay.

    Has anyone tried the new "premium" version of Fitbit? They have some way cool challenges on there, like Get Fit Bingo. You have to work HARD to get a tile to turn. I just signed up for their 90-day free trial period, and I'm loving it! (I've had a Fitbit watch for the past 3 or 4 years now.) You have to have a Fitbit or smartwatch or a mobile watch to participate. We could have up to 30 people on a challenge!

    OK gotta go get a workout in. I'm determined to turn a tile by tomorrow night! I gotta beat @micki48! LOL

    @micki48 Could you update the steps with these dates/steps? Somehow I didn’t get these posted 🤷🏼‍♀️ my half marathon training running is paying off. Sadly I Think the race in May might get cancelled. I sure hope not. I’m getting ready anyways.

    Today is my one year weight loss-iversary.

    365 days ago I downloaded this app, and I was 79.8 lbs heavier (which I will be rounding to 80 because my starting weight was a guess anyway.)

    That's a solid 1.5 lbs per week.

    It's slow but it works.

    You are a champion! 1.5 per week on average is excellent, in my books. We love the tortoise! Pronounce it "tor-twahze" and wear a tiara today!

    YIKES! I'm late with the MONDAY heads-up notice!

    Due today:
    @KellyBgetsFit
    @reflectionofme
    @Juliemargaretkim

    We have not seen @reflectionofme and @juliemargaretkim for a while! I hope you're both ok. Let me know if you want to take a break, or if you're moving on, or coming back, ok?

    @evangsimmons170 Thanks for the steps. LOL I want you to try and beat me!! Thank you so much for inviting me over and over to the challenges. It has been a great motivator and fun to watch the progress of everyone on the team over the week or weekend. You are right!! It takes a LOT of work to get those tiles in BINGO flipped. We need to see if we can get some other teammates here to join us. Still trying to find you @YinxFed. Anyone else here use FitBit? Join us on a challenge. It's so easy. You don't even have to post your steps. It syncs all by itself.

    Have a wonderfully active day everyone! Hugs and positive vibes being sent.

    Done!! Thanks for the update. Those are great numbers. You would have had 2nd place. Hugs and keep those steps up, marathon or no marathon. Actually, come to think of it, we are all kind of doing a marathon now, aren't we? Stronger by the day. <3

    @Terytha CONGRATULATIONS ON ONE YEAR!!!! You have made amazing progress and have been so inspiring to us all. I, for one, do not think 1.5 pounds a week is slow!!!! I think it's amazing!!!!!!! You have not only lost (ahem, gotten rid of...you won't be finding it again) 80 pounds, I have seen your mindset change. You were resistant to healthier eating and gym exercise and loved your sweet treats. Now, I have seen you make fantastically healthy meals, your commitment to your gym workouts and trials and tribulations with your trainer have been inspiring, and you have limited your sweet treat calories each day. Girlfriend, you are inspiring and amazing to us all. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Keep it up. Like @conleywoods said, Can't wait to see what the next year has in store for you. <3
