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.2 -

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!!!3 -

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!

Stepping for today(2/2) was really good. We went out as family and even took their dog. The family went home after a mile while I walked 6.5 miles. My plans are to go longer. I would've today but I literally got bored. Lol.
Steps-15,719
Have blessed day everybody.5 -
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.
My February goals are......
Stay under my calorie goals for the day.
Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.
Go to the gym 4 times a week (30min cardio + 1 hour strength)
Run 5K on Saturday's
Walk at least 1 hour on Sunday's
Zumba every Monday night (unless class is cancelled)

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!2 -
