@auntstephie321 . Are you planking with me? How long did you hold it for today?
I didn't yet, but the days not over, let me see what I can do.
Just did a minute, phew I think I still have some strength left from before.
Are you doing on your hands or elbows? I remember elbows being a lot harder.

2.5lbs off this week, exercise planned for next week. Fitbit charged and on my arm.3
-
I'm adding 3 HIITdays 20 min each in addition to what I already do at the gym.3
-
Day 1:
Exceeded step goal: 8162.
(Pretty pleased with that since I didn't find my fitness tracker until 4:00
)
Completed 50 activity minutes.
I think I will start the plank challenge as well. My core strength is pathetic.
Great luck to everyone today!!!!3 -
What is the plank challenge? I am about to start the squat challenge myself.

Here's one. I hope the picture posts. I'm a moron about stuff like that.1 -
Dang! I'm late to the party! Kept meaning to come back and post yesterday but didn't make it!
Step ItUp challenge! Oh how I love this!!
Weekday steps I'm pushing to 13k a day!
Weekend steps is much less sitting at 5k
I also have been increasing my exercise but currently sidelined until the muscle in my back calms down. My elbow planks were up to 25 seconds... Thinking I might pull up the plank challenge as well
I will add more as the month goes on!0 -
Step it Up Sept, huh. OK!
Well I have a pretty low step number as my goal, only 6,000, and sometimes I don't make it (although those tend to be days when I'm still quite active just not in a step-oriented way). So my Step It Up goal is going to be to meet or beat 7500 every single day for the rest of this month, starting today. I can't include yesterday because - well, because I didn't make it because of being at the dentist and then the subsequent mouth pain that has kept me pretty still ever since. But I won't let it stop me today, or the rest of the days.0 -
Step it up! I'm definitely in!!!
09/01 I got 14,000 steps in. My goal is anything over 10,000. Let's do this! Feel free to add me as a Fitbit friend sherrinabors@gmail.com. Thanks!3 -

That's great! I aspire to those numbers. Right now I'm happy if I just hit the goal Garmin gives me. At least it increases every day!

SW = 236.0 (started July 30)
Lost in August = 9.4
CW = 225.0 (total loss 11.0!)
Goal is to lose 7 pounds in September and to start exercising. I had an injury in August that seems to be healed now. I want to get at least 30 minutes in 5 days a week. Keeping carbs to <20 a day.2 -

All jokes aside...today I'm going to put in at least thirty minutes of focused exercise.
STEPPIN' IT UP!
if you have a smartphone there are a bunch of apps that work to track steps too, might not be 100% accurate but the trackers aren't either.
I'd almost rather count myself, I'm just THAT dorky.
I'm so anti-phone dependency that the whole app thing would be a waste. There's no way I'm carrying my stupid phone around with me, just to maybe count my steps inaccurately.
Welcome to Dorksville!
(Could you bring an abacus along if smartphones don't have enough D-factor?)
That's A BRILLIANT idea! *digs out old speak and spell* Hey this'll work, right? 3 -
Goal:
Focus on macros and get back to logging consistently. I have been slacking lately.
Also, step up my exercise...get to the gym 2-3 times a week.
Enter my measurements! I keep forgetting- ugh!

Goal - 10K steps; first day did 11K. The humidity has been killer down here in Florida lately due to Hermine. Oh well, it is what it is!!!!3

I just signed up for a DietBet Kickstarter for accountability. I might sign up for one of their maintenance challenges after that. It's a lot of money for me (I don't have much discretionary funds) but b/c I am a cheapskate, the long-term deals (like the Transformer I did last year that led me to start keto!) tend to work well at helping me stay on track b/c I do NOT want to lose my money!!

I'm about to go camping for the extended weekend. So much biking, chasing kids, sweating my face off, and hiking to be done.3

End of day here in Germany. 12,743 steps. Yay!6

I'm planking and am at 150 seconds. It's killing me, but I'm sticking with it for the month and then I'm trying variations. See how it goes. It's so hard, but I feel it working, and I hate sit ups more.
September Daily Goals:
1) activity: dancing/ 150 minutes
2) 9/2 loss: 10-1.2 = 8.8 pounds to go
3) basic plank/ rest day.
Bonus is, I'm feeling so good right now about things. Hope this wave lasts for awhile.7 -

planks really do make a major difference. after only a few weeks even I noticed abs starting to develop and my arms getting stronger. I wish I would've kept it up all year. no time like the present to start again.2 -

A day late, but I'm here! I need to step it up in way too many areas... I think to keep from overwhelming myself I will do it like this:
September Goal: Lose 10lbs (hopefully this isn't just a dream, but this would get me into One-derland!)
Week 1 Goal: Step up logging and get back to less than 20g net carbs a day
If I can consistently hit this week 1 goal, I will move on to a different goal for week 2 while still holding myself accountable for this goal as well!
Also, I think I will join in on 1 of the 30 day challenges as well... or maybe both, we'll see
SW: 256 (3/7/2016)
CW: 209 (9/2/2016)
GW: 180, 160... haven't really decided yet3 -
September Goal=1200 minutes of exercise.
Today=Day 2: 60 minutes of walking, 3.56 miles (1080 minutes to go)
It's raining here but I was so happy to get outside in low 70 degree weather (versus the 90s) I couldn't have cared less about the drizzle. Grabbed my backpack and walked to the grocery store/s. Taters & an orange for DH. Coconut & HWC for me. Done!3 -
Sept 1: 11,290 steps....off to a good start!8
