Hi everyone, What does everyone use to track their daily steps, please. I have an apple watch, but often I forget to put it on. I am not even sure how to program it. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. I am going to try to figure it out now, but with my 3-year-old grand that I care for 3 days per week, sitting right beside me ATM, it's not uncommon for squirrels to change my best organized plan and returning to something I start, well……sometimes I do, often times I don't. (LOL)

@hera1064 I have a Garmin watch, so I can't tell you much about the Apple Watch. I know there are several activity rings, one of which I think is your daily steps. I suggest looking up a few YouTube videos with a search like "how to track steps with Apple watch".

@hera1064 I have an apple watch and love it. Don't be afraid to just push buttons and see what they do, you are not going to break it. Most of your settings are accessed from the watch itself. I don't know which "Face" you have on your watch but if you tap your activity or the app that looks like a circle with three colours in it, you can change your goals.

My brief introduction:
Casandra (42) from South Western Ontario, Canada.
I've been on My Fitness Pal for over a decade and finally had success in my weight loss a couple years ago and was down to 208lbs. (heaviest 270+) I worked with a metabolic health doctor who said my issues were due to insulin resistance. I change my diet and went from 228-208 in 12 weeks.
January the following year I broke my finger quite badly and required 3 surgeries over 10 months, this set back my exercise and my eating habits reverted back to how they were. I wasn't able to cook like I normally did with one hand, and most exercise was out. Even walking was difficult after surgery because of the movement so I was pretty limited, we got an exercise bike, so that helped.
The following year, (last year) I was diagnosed with a pre-cancerous condition that required treatment through high doses of hormones. I finally finished this treatment in July of this year. The side effects were terrible- weight gain, stomach pain, hot flashes, night sweats, muscle weakness. On top of this my mom died suddenly in December last year. She was my everything, we did everything together. She died just before we started building a new house that was meant for my family, her and my dad. I'm still building her house - but it's so hard that she won't be in it…..
I'm finally feeling better and I'm ready to start working on getting my weight back down. I'm more comfortable at 208 than I am now at 232.
Thanks for reading my current story

Monday Strong Seniors and indoor walk2 -
I had to have new tires installed yesterday. They told me it would take a couple hours. So I figured I'd go for a walkabout in the area, stopping off for a leisurely breakfast nearby. That's where I saw this sign, and got a good chuckle out of "hand cracked eggs". Is that really all that special? Isn't that kinda the usual way? 😂

@hera1064 Are you lost? 😉 (I know getting around the forum can be challenging when you're new to it and unfamiliar with it's navigational requirements.)
I hope you haven't lost interest. I see that you're not only new to the Fat2Fit Shape Shifter team, but relatively new (~1 year) to MyFitnessPal. The community forum is vast and varied. In addition to challenges, there's useful information here on diet, nutrition, fitness and exercise, among other things.
If you need help learning the ropes, just ask. There are plenty of people willing to help.
If you're experiencing a rocky start, know that others have been through that as well. Don't be discouraged. I came across a quote years ago that I have to remind myself of periodically. You might have heard it too:
"When you stumble, make it part of the dance."

@hera1064 Please go to the Group Challenge thread and post your steps for Sun through Wed. I've been posting messages to you, but not getting response and I've teamed you up with alleykat69. Several people have sent you messages…including our other captain, FrankWBrown who's posted several sets of helpful information for you. Looking forward to hearing from you.
