    @Beka3695 I just had a peek at the March Grand Finale results, and noticed a mistake. In the top 3 individual lbs lost in third place someone is listed with a 9.3lb loss, but I lost 9.6lb (higher loss) and am not listed.

    Thank you for looking. Another Mod tallied and I was going to post in the am. I’ll make the correction

    Welcome to the group. Please record your weigh ins in this thread using the following format:

    Beka3695
    Week 1
    Saturday - this is my weigh day
    Prior weight: 223.8
    Current weight: 221.4

    You can abbreviate prior and current with PW and CW.

    The format above might seem long and redundant, but it helps us find the weigh in posts among the regular convo on the thread.

    GROUP QUESTION...

    STEP CHALLENGE? YES or NO?

    We started last month with 16 steppers and ended with only 8 and of those 6?consistently reporting.

    Maybe we should move the step challenge to FITBIT challenge? Only problem, this will exclude apple/garmin users...

    Thoughts?

    I apologize! I said I’d do it last month and then i didn’t. I’m up for it this month if you have it again. I swear I’ll post. I also have a Fitbit so I’d be up for weekly challenges there with anyone who’s interested. 🙂

    Sorry! I just saw I’m to reintroduce myself.

    I’m Coleen, 53, married mother of 4 sons: 26, 24, 20, and 18. Next fall we will be empty nesters and I’m trying to finally get (and stay) healthy for this next chapter of my life. I’m a teacher so I’m on my feet a good part of every day. I also try to either walk on my treadmill or outside everyday. Welcome to all the newcomers. It’s great to have you here. 🙂👍🏼

    Wow @Beka3695 for a newbie runner you certainly are getting up the miles! Inspiring to see...

    My March total was 45 km (28 miles) and I was proud of that! Hopefully one day I can have a 99 mile month too.

    BTW - one of my March goals was to run 100 miles... I ended the month with 99.28. I so wish I had looked last night UGH!!!

    Hello from North Carolina! I'm Stephanie, a 39 year old wife and mom/stepmom to four teenagers, ages 14, 16, 17 and 18. This is my third month as part of this team.

    I joined MFP a few years ago, but got serious about my health and changing my lifestyle for good about a year ago. I started this journey at a weight of 204.2 lbs. with a GW of 160. I had been stuck in a plateau since August of last year, but joining this challenge has helped me see some progress again on the scale.

    I love running and competing in 5Ks, as well as hiking and kayaking. I am currently participating in the NC 100 Miles Challenge (get at least 100 miles of outdoor activity in my state this year) and the Passport program (visit all the NC State Parks). My goal for this year is to check as many NC State Parks off my passport as possible.

    April goals:
    Drink more water
    Shoot for 10k steps per day
    Lose at least 5 pounds

    stats:

    HW: 204.2 (January 2018)
    LW: 168.6 (March 2019)

    I enjoy doing the step challenge and I'm fine with Fitbit or the way we were doing it.

    Good morning team. My name is Tanaya, 28 F w/ a three year old. I have been on my fitness journey for 1.5 years and I am so close to reaching my goal weight. This group has been great with keeping me accountable!

    I work 7 days on 7 days off. My 7 days off is usually when I drop the ball with diet and my weight always yoyos. This month my goal this month is to do better with planning meals and resisting temptation during my weeks off to finally help me break my goal! Starting today :)

    Welcome new challengers!

    introductions can be so hard LOL
    I am Julie, co-caption next to @beka3695.
    I am always here on the computer during the week because my job but the weekends I tend to vanish because my part time job and other activites.
    I am 37, single with a 17 yr old son that just started driving.
    I started at 237, got down to 132 then got lazy in a relationship and as of last week, I was 166.2.
    April goals are to hit 10k every day that I work both jobs and the other 4 days, to hit 12k.
    I'd also like to lose 3+ lbs and do better at logging all food.

    Step challenge

    We have had a mixed response to the step challenge. I suggest that we all link on FitBit and do a Week challenge and Weekend Warrior.

    I tend to suck at the weekday thing but rock the weekends.

    I have several of you as friends there - so it might not be too difficult to all link up.

    If you want to find me, my fitbit link is //www.fitbit.com/user/56MD46

    I will see if I can make a group for us there, too.

    Ok, I made a Fitbit group. Simply named MFP Shrinking Assets. I sent an invitation to those I am already friends with.

    Let's give this a try

    I think I am technologically challenged. I can’t figure out how to add you to my Fitbit, my Fitbit username or how to search for a group. My email is linda_tuck@outlook.com if you can add me that way.
