    Got my fitness tracker yesterday but set it up today around 11 this morning. Since then I have walked 5,724 steps all inside my house because I didn’t leave it today. I’m anxious to hit 10k steps and hopefully make that a daily habit! I want to set myself some goals for March. I may be trying to over achieve but I really want to make this my norm even if it takes a couple of months to fully get there so here goes:

    10k steps. Every. Single. Day

    30 minute Barre workout on you tube 3 times a week

    72 oz of water everyday

    Stay in calories everyday without eating back exercise calories on most days

    What are some of your goals for March?
    Our goals are the same. 10,000 steps every day. Even if I dont feel like it, or it's late and I havent gotten all those steps. I've done well this week. All 7 days I have reached over 10,000 steps.
    I have to have more water. I need to buy a big jug for work; otherwise I just don't walk to the sink to fill up. The sink is far from my classroom.
    Great job walking in house ! Do whatever it takes to reach your goals:)

    Wow that’s great you get 10k a day! I have a toddler with me 24/7 so if the weather is too cold for her, we don’t go walk, but I’m trying to not be lazy on those days and walk in my house while she naps or while I’m waiting on dinner to cook. At least that’s my plan. Also, I have a 24oz Tervis cup and I try my best to fill it 3 times a day which would be 72 ounces. Most days I drink 2. Working on it though.

    @JulieAL1969 and @aganey those are awesome goals. I am lucky to get 8,000 steps a day. @aganey like you I have had to walk in my house or even run. I have this hallway and set my microwave times and run it during commercials I run or speed walk lol. Water, I have a 32 oz water bottle and try to fill it up three times a day but usually only two and a couple of glasses here or there. Again awesome goals.

    Hi! Veronica from Rochester NY. I am a nurse, I have am married for 15 years, and we have 2 children. I have lost almost 70lbs in the last year and hope to reach my goal of 126 by September. My motivation is 2 fold. I want to loose weight for me. I have a goal of running in a run Disney event( oh ya did I mention that I am Disney crazy,lol) My second motivation is my 10 year old son, who now weighs more than me. He has started walking with me and we go to the YMCA togther. I need to set a great example for him and I need him to be healthy.

    Hi, welcome to our team. Children can be a great motivation to lose weight and live healthier.

    Hey guys so inspired by all the activity. I have been "lucky" enough to be shoveling lots of snow. Just wondering is this where we enter our Sunday weigh ins?

    Hi guys, I was out of the country for the past 4 weeks. I am back a little heavier than when I left so I have work to do to get back on track. Will continue with my weigh -in day on Tuesday.
    I've noticed that we have a change in our team leadership. Congrats Shawna. I do have to catch up reading the posts for the last couple weeks.

    Hi everyone, so great to see many old friends here for March as well as some new faces. This is the third month that I join the challenge. February was not that great for me. I changed jobs and did not manage to check in regularly. My goal for March is to log my food everyday.
    Thank you @shawna357 for being our captain.

    @NationalCapital I need to apologize to you and realized after you posted your weight you said it was because you were sick. I am sorry to hear that and hope you are feeling better.

    Shawna.. no need to apologize. I just didn't want to set the bar too high for next week's result, which will definitely not be another 3 pounds.

    woohoo team!

    Today is in the 40's sun is shining! I am going to work on one of my goals and every couple of hours I am going to walk around the block and at lunch I might even walk around the lake!:)

    Have a great day! Remember today is a new day!
