    @Megan_smartiepants1970 I noticed people posting steps, I assume we will have to do that when we post out weekly weight?

    Hi, Dyls from Australia,

    CW: 79kg

    Looking forward to pushing myself to get to below target of 77kg (know its not much, but its hard to lose!)

    Welcome to the group!

    JaysFan82,
    Enjoy Toronto, it's a great city. There's lots to do and they have arguably the best MLB stadium. Post your pics, I think they will be inspiring.

    Regards,
    Mike

    I am in charge of the step challenge ... All you do is give me a step pledge of steps you plan to hit daily and post your steps in here either daily or weekly ... I will always do a reminder of the people's steps I need on Sunday's ... I will get the step challenge ready on June 1st

    Welcome to all the new members. Not sure about y'all, but I am READY for June :)

    Weekend Recap

    - Eating only at Level 3: mostly - even though it was a holiday weekend, I stuck to my IF (18:6).
    - Water (Goal 64 oz) : Just not good with water on the weekend - less structure
    - Increased intensity while walking: yes

    - THOUGHTS: June on deck - new month - continued focus!

    Step Challenge - Goal 7000

    Hi all! I have been quite absent, a little MIA as well as a bit of traveling. I hope I am still a part of the group. I’m very sorry for my temporary departure

    CONGRATS DOWNSIZERS for being 1st in Percentages and Pounds ....CONGRATS @Fazola, @Stacimfit and @pauladner for being our top 3 weight loss losers this week :)

    WEDNESDAY WEIGH-IN

    May 24th: 201.4
    May 31st: 199.2

    Doing the Onederland Happy Dance!!

    Sunday: logged, under with a good chunk remaining, went for a walk and did some weeding.
    Monday: logged, under with almost none to spare, no formal exercise, 6K steps.
    Tuesday: logged, under, went for a walk, and then walked around my house right before bed to reach my 10K steps :)

    Oh, my, gosh. I was hungry on Monday from my very active Sunday, but I didn't generate enough calories to eat as much as I wanted! (Yes, I could have dipped into my excess from Sunday, make it a weekly under instead of a daily under, but sometimes seeing that red "over" number can wreak havoc with your mental resolve). Moral of this story? Get up off your butt, Lisa!!

    I hadn't thought about it, but okay, I will rejoin for the June Challenge, starting on Sunday, June 4th. Put me in for 10,000 daily steps. It may be lofty, but it'll be something to shoot for.
