    I've thought about a weighted vest for walking, but I didn't didn't actually do anything about it. It does make sense that it would further stress your bones and improve density. It's certainly better than gaining the weight back. :D Think of the extra calories you'll be burning. :) Glad your knee is doing well.

    Well I gained back over five pounds. Unacceptable! Time to get serious again.
    I dont think my attempt to join 5%challenge went through. I never got an invitation to a group.

    It looks like we're all on different teams. I'm on Fit Force, Ann is on Thinner Winners, and Cat is on Tenacious GR8TERS, so we'll be competing against each other! You'll find a lot of support on your teams. but we can always post here and get support when we need it. Good luck!

    I hope I can figure out how to do all the stuff for that challenge. It seems like a lot of stuff

    Cat, you already keep track of your exercise, so every day you will post your total exercise minutes. Every week, there is an LTLG - Living the Good Life - habit to work on. For example, it might be logging everything you eat. If you do it, you give yourself 10 points for the day, and if you don't, you give yourself a 0. Everything else is optional/social. Good luck!

    Backed out of the fall challenge. My son had surgery and his wife needs to work
    Full time, so I am keeping a baby and a toddler 12 hours a day. I’m not going to worry about tracking or keeping up with anything but my babies for a while. I will be a cheerleader for you two and wish you great success

    Hi Cat! Still here. I see Ann's exercise updates in my feed, so she is still around and kicking b-tt. Hope all is well with you and your family. I'm sure that you're enjoying the latest grandchild. I have a new great nephew. Unfortunately, he lives out of state, so I won't get to see him for a bit. I'm still exercising but, as always, it's the eating that is the difficult part!

    Cat, would you like to return to doing daily check-ins and weekly weigh-ins? I'm up for it if you are. I seem to be up 6 pounds. :'(

    You're welcome. It will be good for me, too. Okay, so today I consumed more calories than I intended :/ , but my exercise was great. Jogging, walking, strength training, and I'm about to start an online AARP Pilates class at 6:30. I should be tired tonight!
    Cat, I hope your day went well.

    I stuck to my calorie limits and did 30 minutes on the elliptical. Met a knitting buddy at starbucks but stuck to hot tea with no sweet in it. Wanted to get in a walk today, but tackled laundry instead and ran out of daylight. I forgot how early the dark creeps in now
