Bethanie, we are glad to have you in the step challenge! It can't do anything but help you as you try to "show your doctor" just what you CAN do! Seriously, though, keep up the good work. Those are great miles you've logged last week. As you continue to make progress, you may find that some of the health problems begin to require less medicine, which will make more progress even easier. You may find that your progress snowballs once it gets rolling. Good luck moving forward! We are here for you!
And I'm hypothyroid *insert eyeroll here*
It's like the perfect storm of BS. But I love this group; I'm glad I found it and stuck with it.6 -

Mission Slimpossibles' Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike Challenge
The Southern Terminus to Neel Gap
Distance so far: 37.5 miles
Our view from the top of Springer Mountain, the official beginning point of the AT:
We made it up the Approach Trail to the summit of Springer Mountain, the official beginning of the Appalachian Trail. Pat yourself on the back. That was quite a climb! Today we see the first white blaze like all those countless blazes which will mark this trail for nearly 2200 miles. It is painted on a boulder at the top of which you will also find the iconic plaque marking the significance of this trail.
The plaque seen below with the first white blaze reads: “Appalachian Trail, A Footpath for Those who seek Fellowship with the Wilderness.” Someone once described the trail this way, “Remote for detachment, narrow for chosen company, winding for leisure, lonely for contemplation; it beckons not merely north and south, but upward to the body, mind, and soul of man.” –Harold Allen
We also climbed the tallest mountain on the Georgia section of the AT in our first 37 miles, Blood Mountain. Rumor is that the name of Blood Mountain came from a particularly bloody battle between Cherokee and Creek Indians. There is also a nearby Slaughter Gap named for the same battle. Although that may be a bit disconcerting, the views certainly are anything but troubling. Check this out!
Because we are such awesome steppers, we also made it all the way to Neel Gap, home of the famous Mountain Crossings store at Walasi-yi (the Cherokee name for this gap). The AT literally goes right through the building, but the neatest thing about Mountain Crossings is the tree outside. If you look closely you will see many pairs of hiking boots and shoes literally hanging from the branches. It is tradition that hikers who complete the AT will often return to this spot and throw their boots up into the tree in appreciation of the folks who run this special place.
Exercise challenge for today: After logging some incredible miles over some major climbs, be sure you do some extra stretching or some yoga moves today to help avoid injury. Here’s one site with some ideas for us:

Hello everyone!
I am here, but I've been so crazy busy I've been struggling to log. Luckily mostly eating similar things so not much variation.
My Monday weigh in was 169, same as previous week.
Steps, boy have I been stepping! Not much this weekend though.
1st 13806
2nd 3241
3rd 9431
4th 11918
Hope to be getting crazy with the steps this week!4 -
Was hoping to have found my fitbit charger by now!! I have just moved and cant find which box its in. Ui starts back today and Im filled with dred, I WILL NOT emotionally eat to hide my anxiety, uni is the only place I do that interestingly and not as many healthy food choices there.
THanks for inspiring me continually.

Sorry for missing out on the first weigh in, I’ve been sunning myself for a few days, quick break away.
Username: Jaybo37
Weigh in day : Sunday
Week : 1
Starting weight : 160.1
To reintroduce myself for new joiners, I’m Jill, from Ireland, 2 kids, work outside the home. I’ve been part of this group for quite a while but I can’t for the life of me think how long! My weight loss is slow but I would have been close to 190lb at my heaviest (outside of pregnancy, more like 230lb then)
I walk a lot and jog a bit and thanks to Terri I get to compete in Fitbit challenges which I love! Best of luck to anyone newly joined3 -
I am after a bit of inspiration as my morale is very low at realising only last week exactly how much I weigh. I think it has finally got to me. I need it gone. I had to be part of a public artist talk on the weekend for a show Im in and it was hard to look at the photos. I feel like I am meeting a lot of new people at the moment but feels like they dont know who I am because no one can "see" me if you know what I mean. the weight is hiding me. I happy at this point to lose 32 lbs. But wishing I could do it in 3 months , but no idea if thats reasonable.1
