    So for day 1, I watched what I ate for breakfast, went for a walk tripped on a water shut off valve, it was sticking up from the side walk, and went flying down, my knee is totally a huge cut and, bruised wrist and hip. I was lucky I did hurt my head.

    SO! I am supposed to be one of your co-captains, even though it seems I am not on the list correctly. Greg will be fixing that up, I hope!!

    I am sorry I have been away for a few days - I had to go to the US (I live in Canada) and was not able to get online much. But I'm back and will spend some time catching up, finding out where we are on the spreadsheet, and getting to know the new members, answering questions, etc. Phew!

    I love the idea of daily reports - just what is happening, how it's going, and how we can help inspire you (or kick your butt!).

    to be continued...

    Happy New Year All! I am so glad to be part of this group. This is going to be a struggle for me but I am ready to see progress and feel better about myself. Today I am on taking advantage of our 70+ degree weather and walking for at least 30 minutes.

    6 months until my 5 year wedding anniversary & 10 months until I turn 30. I want to see some change before those 2 events and I am ready to kick butt!

    Calling today the beginning of 2019 and going for my first high-intensity interval training class.. I’m a bit of a little old lady in it, but I can still burn about 450 to 500 cal per hour in one of those. Happy New Year everyone!

    Way to go, Andrea! I love being the old lady in classes, even if they're with a video in my house, or on my snowshoes all alone in the woods. Intervals are super effective - when I added them 7 years ago, the weight went down and I have stayed close to my maintenance weight ever since. You got this B)

    Hi Andrea! Sunday was week one (Dec 30 - Jan 6). It's weird weighing in on Sundays (I do too) because it always seems like you're a week ahead. So go ahead and post it here in this thread, and I'll update the spreadsheet. Thanks!

    Greetings @GettingFitTash ! I do not see you on our spreadsheet, so I'll get after our awesome moderators to see if we can fix that. Then you'll be rolling with the Monday crowd. They are a great bunch.

    And we are ready to help you kick your butt >:) Your goals are great, and I just don't want to hear about your awesome weather. Of course, I'll brag about mine - out snowshoeing or hiking most days in the snow and cold up in Canada! So, I guess you can brag about yours too. Enjoy the sweat out there. Have you joined the steps challenge? Check the Announcements section, and get your steps logged in there. Let me know if you are already part of it, or if you'd like to join. They are always looking for step counters - it's a great way to compete for fun!

    I know I have mentioned this in past months, but we also have new people who may "not have thought of that..."

    If something unexpected happens, as above to @sue_01, and the result for you is being temporarily sidelined from whatever exercise you would normally do (be it body-weight bearing like walking / running or strength training due to a pulled muscle ... or whatever) - there ARE alternatives to help you keep burning some exercise calories while you heal. Maybe not as much as you usually do, but hey! As the poster our captain displayed on pg 2 says .... Even if you only lose 1/2 a pound per week, that will STILL put you at 26 pounds lighter this time next year.

    Respect your doctor's advice and guidance, then look for routines you could follow on Youtube sitting down, maybe ... or water aerobics / workouts.

    Ask for suggestions. Tell us what you LIKE to do / are currently banned from doing as you heal / what you are able to do while respecting doctor-imposed limits ... we are here as your collective resource librarian desk to share what we have already discovered ourselves.

    HOMEWORK:

    I have been doing mine. Your turn!

    I need weigh-in posts from
    @Andreabroadley (Sunday weight)
    @evangsimmons170 (Monday)
    @MoStacy (Monday)
    @tdrjustus3 (Monday)
    @iluvnufoods (Tuesday)
    @orngnerdz (Tuesday)

    If it is the same as your starting weight, that is fine - just let me know. It is confusing when your start weight and your week 1 weigh in are the same day or only a day apart! Once you get going, though, it will all come out just fine.

    So post more about yourselves and what you're up to. I really enjoy getting to know you - new members and returning ones. This is only my 2nd month with this fantastic group and challenge and it just gets better the more we find out. Bunch o' losers, but hey - that's what we're looking for, eh? Have a fantastic new year's day.

    I will be reporting daily ....

    but want to add that I can only count steps in the context of my exergame (and will also be reporting those here on the home thread) I do plenty of other "NEAT fitness fidgetting" , but can only track / report in the 6000 => 7500 range on average. So my numbers are actually artificially low.

    Soooooo IF there is supposed to be a membership cap on the Team vs Team Step Challenge, and someone not yet on the list got a "new toy" like a Fitbit or equivalent, making it possible to track ALL steps in a day .... I can swap places, and also pre-volunteer to swap back in if anyone has to step back later in the month for whatever reason.

    Unless / until I hear otherwise, I will continue to report on the January Step Challenge thread.
