Hi! Happy Sunday! My step goal is to average 9,000 steps per day on weekdays because I walk to and from my job most weekdays (2 miles each way). On weekends I'll probably do a Zumba workout video.
Best wishes for the week ahead! 💗4 -

@alleykat69 There have been several postings trying to get updates from you for certain dates...you don't seem to answer what is being requested...look at this one...so I'm sending you what the chart shows and asking if you could please post the slots that are currently holding zeros. You might also want to check wk 2, 3 and 4 altogether, because it's been quite confusing this month. Here's what I show:
Please let me know so we can get this 3 wk period corrected. Thanks!

Hello all. I'm Roz. I've been in this group (different team) before but lost motivation and didn't log in much anymore but im back! I have a lot of weight to drop. I am starting by making sure I track everything and drink 2L+ of water daily. I have been struggling with motivation. I am also going back to intermittent fasting as I need to stop eating in the evening/night. Thanks for having me5

Welcome back, @roz0810! We ‘met’ on another MFP thread. It’s so nice to be back in touch!
It’s a new day so we are all beginning again, just smarter today!! 😀3 -
Weigh day
PW 178.9
CW 178.5
This weigh day had me thinking about crazy things meat we may do on weigh day.
For instance – as soon as I woke up this morning, I got on the scale and was like whoa… Wait a minute. Then I decided to have a little coffee to see if that would help… and Yep the way came down a little bit more… Then after about an hour of getting ready for work, I realized I actually weighed myself with some clothes on so I fixed that and weighed again—a smidge came off and after all the water I had yesterday from walking the dunes, I had to go to the bathroom again so let’s see if anymore can come off.… sure enough, my weight came down a little bit more. So after three weighs this morning and a little bit of manipulating I came in below my previous weight. I was cracking up at myself how ridiculous this was! I just thought I’d share, because I am sure that I’m not the only one that has done goofy things to see if they can get that weekly number to come down a bit.
If you have any funny weigh stories or “traditions”, share them! We’re all in this together!8 -
I thought I would share my fitness goals with you guys so I have some sense of accountability.
-Run 50 miles in August
-Start cross training once/week (swimming, row machine, anything other than running)
-10,000 steps/day
-Add a mini workout during kids nap time (body weight, resistance band type things)
-Drink a gallon of water/day (it's still super hot in AZ, so I should be doing this anyway).
I'll try to keep you guys updated on how it's going from time to time. I've got a little lazy the last couple of weeks and feel like I could be doing more, so hopefully this will motivate me to push myself just a little more.4 -

Good Morning Shape Shifters! I would like to participate again in the monthly step challenge. I will keep my goal at 10,000 steps per day please.
I enjoy walking to work, and an evening walk with friends or family to wind down the day. If the weather is bad, I do have a treadmill, but I really don't enjoy using it, it's so boring. If anyone has great ideas or suggestions on how to enjoy workout on treadmill, I 'll gladly hear them.
Have a great day everyone.5 -
@roz0810 welcome to our group! Hopefully we can all work together to motivate each other and inspire each other to dig deep and reach our goals!
@Zaxa2021 I love the fitness goals and it’s so true, it brings accountability. Make sure to post on how you’re doing on them. It’s inspiring to other members!

@looneycatblue I really like how you looked at your losses by months. I’ve been at this from May and I think looking at each individual month will help me see a trend of when I was most accountable and help me get back to that mindset.
@Cyncia85 looking forward join in the role of motivator with you!
@LaurieWrobo congrats on your new job! Good luck on your step goals!

Hi All!
I live with PTSD. Anxiety is a big part of this for me. Who is anxiety's best friend? Depression. This combo has contributed to my current status when it comes to my fitness level and weight. Some days it can be really difficult to do the things (like eating properly and being active) that in the long run will help improve my mental health.
One of the things I've learned to combat my PTSD/anxiety is 'opposite action.' Sometimes I get too much in my head and it becomes rumination. One solutions for rumination is to get out of your head and into your body. When I catch myself ruminating, I get moving that is appropriate for whatever else is going one. For instance, if this is during business hours - then I give myself a 5 or 10 minute break to go for a walk.
Anyone else feel this struggle?
What helps you?

@jessicakrall8
I'd like to join the step challenge for August.
For July my daily step goal was 7,000 steps.
My daily average according to Garmin for the past 4 weeks was 7,294.
For August, let's make my daily step goal 7,500 steps.
I'm curious how well I will do with this goal because my fall semester starts mid-August. I need to get my butt in gear, overcome the snoozin' habit, and wake up earlier. Exercise before work.4 -
