    @TeresaW1020 - I have been tracking my own steps daily (say my goal for the next day, and then note in a daily check-in whether I made it), but I find the idea of tracking everybody's steps a bit intimidating. Any great detail people out there interested?
    Did you hit the treadmill on Saturday, as you were hoping to do? Or get out for a walk to get those steps in?

    Yes, I did have a spreadsheet where I was keeping track of my steps but then this whole house moving thing has really gotten in the way. Once I'm settled I will start tracking again and maybe in October, I will be able to keep track of everyone who wants to join in on a challenge. I do love me a good spreadsheet! ;)


    [...]

    We have a spot at the bottom of our spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18w9bl04Iag3IWt2Bex6UwwuNyJjOU5vcF8Mydrnn8BM/edit#gid=2032789470). I'm happy to log team steps there if interested.

    Weigh in week: Week 1
    Weigh in day: Monday
    Starting Weight: 172.2
    Current Weight: 172.8

    Hello again!

    It's been a long summer without you guys!
    I strayed away from my routine of working out regularly and eating healthy and I gained about 5 lbs, which isn't the worst thing but I know I didn't have to if I kept up with my workouts.

    I am a full time baker at a local cupcakery and cafe, so I am up and about really early in the day. By the time I'm off I am exhausted from being on my feet. Also I love sweets! So baking is hard without tasting what I am making. I have gotten better at not eating as much on the job and only when I am absolutely hungry.

    This morning was wonderful. My boyfriend and I went on a early morning hike since we were both off from work. It was nice being active and feeling my body move.

    This time around I'd like to lose a few more lbs.for myself and for an upcoming vacation to El Salvador in January. Where there will lots of outdoor activities and I need to keep my stamina and endurance up

    @bronchobuddee, thanks for the offer to record our steps. This week for me is crazy because I'm moving next Monday but soon I would love to help get a challenge going. Maybe we can do it in a couple of weeks or so. :)

    @angielove88, wow working in a bakery would not be good for me! I once worked for a couple of years at Starbucks and their pastries and free coffee wasn't not helpful for my diet. You might need to just draw a hard line in the sand that you don't eat the sweets you bake. Maybe allow yourself one treat a week so you have that to look forward to. Keep that vacation firmly in your mind and you will achieve your goals! :)

    Monday Check-In:
    Calories: under
    Water: over
    Exercise: stayed late at work and did some packing once I got home.

    I'm on the final countdown to the move into my new house. I'm excited but this week is going to be busy. I will try to check in as much as I can! :)

    Oh @angielove88, I could never work in a bakery. I love baked stuff! Well done for not eating everything you see :)

    Monday check in:

    Calories : under
    Water : over
    Exercise : beginners strength routine and half hour run
    Goal/improvement for tomorrow : I was rubbish with procrastination today. I did achieve one important thing but I had time for so much more, and just... didn't. Trouble is I'm going out with a friend tomorrow so I won't be able to focus on work much.. So goal will be to simply come in under calories, as she wants to get lunch out.

    Sunday Check in:
    Calories: over
    Water: under
    Exercise: Took a couple of walks, did a lot of cleaning and moving around for today – almost 15,000 steps!

    Remember the good, be the good, encourage others on their journey

    My September goal: 205 lbs – I ended August on a gain and tore into just eating whatever for several days so this accounts all of that.

    I'm not sure why I decided to abandon all sense of reason eating these past several days, ending on a real tear over the holiday weekend. I'm glad I'll be back on a routine now - I obviously need the structure. Getting to 205 means losing some pounds again (won't know what the damage is until tomorrow morning). On a brighter note, my old lady aches and pains are so much better and I'm exercising more - looking forward to continuing that trend as I back down to the kind of calorie and sodium numbers needed for losing. =>

    A good week to all - lots of great progress here, love reading about how everyone is doing!

    Hello all! I haven't been around for awhile as I've been on vacation, spent a week camping. I had a great time but it's good to get back to a routine. My eating hasn't been great and I need to start exercising again. I'll be weighing in tomorrow and I'm sure there will be a gain, but I can't let it get me down.

    Some of my goals for the week are:

    Drink my water and stay hydrated.
    Start logging my food/calories again.
    Start working out again.

    All set. You post it in the team thread, as you did, and a captain or moderator will enter it in the spreadsheet.
