    ~Step Challenge Results ~
    NOVEMBER WEEK THRER
    Team Statistics -
    Steppers: 7 (+1)
    Total Steps: 349,230 (-8.97% from last week)
    Average Steps Per Stepper: 49,890

    The Leaderboard -

    @OllieAndEd2021 - 76,952 total | 10,993 average - Most Steps in One Day!!!
    @andja87 - 71,951 | 10,279 average
    @sydditt - 50,310 total | 7,187 average
    @BodyTalking - 49,509 total | 7,073 average
    @daria0919 - 40,071 total | 5,724 average
    @melaniedscott - 32,148 total | 4,593 average Most Consistent!!!
    @9Harvey - 28,289 total | 4,041 average

    Well done walkers! A lot of us had more steps last week than the previous. Rankings have shifted a little but the top spot and Most Steps continue to follow @OllieAndEd2021! Way to go!

    How did everyone do this week? We are at just over 1.1 million steps for the month and have two more reporting weeks (one more walk-week). To hit the 2 million goal, we need ~880K, so about 440k per week, which is about 90k more per week or 13k each. Can we do it?

    Weigh-in-Saturday
    Starting weight: 81.7 kg/180.12 lb
    Previous weight: 79.7 kg/175.71 lb
    Current weight: 78.5 kg/173.06 lb

    I'm eating less! That's the only answer for this loss. I don't avoid having the things I like that are generally thought of as being bad for you, just not having lots of it, sometimes, half one day and half the next, I'm not stuffing myself, I'm not eating just because it's there, I'm happy to feel hunger pangs and let them be there until it's time to eat, ie no bites here or snacks there. I mostly have two meals a day, which leaves the equivalent of a third meal for other things like treats, snacks or drinks.

    Now, the thing is, can I keep doing this? Have I developed new habits or is it just a phase?

    I'm not in America so I don't do Thanksgiving feasts and, thankfully, didn't have to worry about that this week. I think forgot to wish you all a happy day on Thursday, 🦃sorry! I hope those who celebrate had a lovely day.

    @daria0919 I tried some habit trackers but found it was just an extra thing to think about and didn't use it well. I know many think it's helpful. In my opinion, there's no harm in trying a free version and see how you feel yourself. If I can find the names of ones I've tried, I'll add them below.

    Found them...
    Do It Now - I think this is the best option for what I consider a habit tracker to be.
    Pomodoro - this was just impractical for me.
    Balance (by Newson Health) - aimed at women going through menopause - I just didn't log things regularly and eventually stopped.

    I say est on Thurs because I was bouncing about cooking all morning and then running around all afternoon/evening and my steps counter on my phone shut off. Have been doing a lot of big cooking, including a 14+lb turkey and a three quarts of turkey broth.

    It's that time again - this coming week we open to new members for December. If you have any friends who would like to join us, send them this link! They can sign up and end 2023 with a bang. MFP might have its issues, but it is an easy one-stop-shop for tracking and community that still works well in its free version. Not perfect, but pretty danged good!

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10903959/registration-for-new-members-december-2023#latest

    If you are already here on the team, you do not need to register again. We'll keep you always unless told otherwise!

    Question for the group:

    Does anybody here use a habit tracking app, and if so, which one do you like?

    @daria0919

    For the past 5-6 years, I've been using Habitica. It's a bit nerdier than some of the classic habit trackers, but it has kept me engaged for a while, and helped quite a bit when I first downloaded it. Just be warned that there's a learning curve.

    I noticed the steps weren't going up by much yesterday on my watch, so I was either not doing as much movement during housework than I thought or the sensor has a glitch. I'll charge it to full power and clean it 🤞

    Linda has been the Downsizers captain since team formation several years ago, and before that she was captain of the Shrinking Assets (now the Shape Shifters). And on top of being an incredible captain, she has been an all-around marvelous member of F2F!

    I really want to keep going in the right direction, it just seems so much easier not to. I hope I can turn things around, and keep going forward! Tired of going backwards.
