    Steps—
    I thought all I still owed was for yesterday, but here they are for Thursday thru Saturday.
    1/30–8621
    1/31–5198
    2/1–6729

    My knee has been swollen since mid-week, so my steps are off compared to the usual. But I’m doing better today; already over 12k.

    February Step Challenge

    Who’s in for the February step challenge. We keep track of your steps for you. Just report your step count daily starting with today’s. This is a team challenge. At the end of every week we announce how many steps we took as a group and the top three steppers.

    So put on your sneakers and lace them up and start stepping! Let’s see if we can crush January’s total steps.

    I’m in for February, too!

    Welcome to all the new members of the group, and welcome back to all the familiar faces! It’s great to be on this journey with all y’all!

    I am Tami, and I am from Knoxville, Tennessee. My highest weight was 213 and I am currently 165-ish. I lost a lot of weight here in the past, but gained more of it back than I’d like to admit, but I’m here to reverse that trend.

    I do Calories In, Calories Out, but occasional will engage in a little intermittent fasting—nothing extreme. I struggle with certain cravings, and I do mean struggle.

    My goals for February are:
    ...meal plan every Sunday
    ...drink more water (need to be at 80 oz/day)
    ...No Junk Food Challenge 5 days/week
    ...Average 10k steps per day every week
    ...lose at least 4 lbs in February

    Sounds simple, doesn’t it?!? Now let’s be like Nike and Just Do It!!!

    Hello! Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I am a runner and when I get back from a run, it’s hard for me to not just eat al the calories back! Haha. But this week I have been trying to fuel my runs better and drink more water. Yesterday I ran in a 10k and beat my last 10k time 9 weeks ago by 6 minutes!

    Daily Check-in: Saturday 02/02

    Calories: Under
    Water: 2.250L
    Steps: 18,139
    Exercise: 2 hour /10k walk

    Happy Monday team! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I did a little mini challenge with a couple of MFP friends to maintain or lose weight over the weekend. I really struggle with weekends and usually have a 2 lb gain come Monday morning. I started at 191 Saturday morning and this morning I am at 191.6. I know it’s a gain but compared to the usual 2 lbs I consider this a big win for me.

    Yesterday was crepe day in France so I’m gonna go ahead and blame that small gain on the one crepe I allowed myself to eat lol.

    I will post the January week 4 and final steps tomorrow. If you don’t have your steps in yet, you still have time. Still looking for more steppers for the February challenge.

    Hi everyone.

    My name is Jen and I’m one of the team’s motivators. I am in my mid 40s, married with two kids, work full time. I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada.

    I’ve been part of this challenge group for a while now. I follow calories in and calories out but I’m not doing a great job of it since October of 2019. Trying to improve in every aspect of my journey.

    Today was a huge fail in every way, I didn’t ppmake myself a priority, let work get in the way. I find it very hard to balance sometimes. So tomorrow is a new day (and a warmer one which is important for walking at lunch!)

    Goals for tomorrow:
    1. Work out in the morning; even if it’s only 20 minutes
    2. Walk at lunch
    3. Drink 100oz of water
    4. Check back in here tomorrow night

    Way to go, team!!! What a great January we had. Now let’s dig in and keep it going!

    Monday Check In

    Calories: under
    Exercise: bike routine before my morning shower and walk in the neighborhood after work.
    Water: 60 oz

    I’m liking the early exercise bike routines even if I don’t do a whole 40+ minutes. Hopefully I will continue that!

    Steps for 2/2= 14,071

    Thanks for continuing the step challenge. It’s silly that such a little thing motivates me to walk a little further or take the stairs. Every little bit helps!
