Hello all and happy Friday! Hope you are all gearing up for a healthy month. I have strapped on my Garmin watch for counting steps and am going to try to use my rowing machine at least 4 times a week this month.
Weighed in this morning for a May starting weight of 170.6 lbs. I haven't been in the 160s for over a year, so I'm hoping I can get there shortly. Weekend eating is always a struggle for me so I'll need to be careful to stay on track before Monday's weigh-in.
Goals for today:
(1) rowing machine workout
(2) at least 3L of water
(3) at least 5000 steps (sad goal but quarantine life...)
(4) under 2000 calories. This seems like a lot but I have a zoom lunch scheduled with friends and it's Friday, meaning wine.
Does anybody want to try to do at least 4 at-home workouts with me in the next 7 days?
I am in! I need to find a beginner cardio workout and be consistent.
I would love to join you and Linda for your workouts this week. Will you be posting the videos you want us to do with you?
I am going to do a Joanna Soh beginner workout on YouTube.1 -

I am 55, married, mother of 3 and have three beautiful granddaughters. I also have 2 fur babies. You will probably hear me mention my granddaughters a few times during the month. I live in Southwestern Ontario.
I started my journey in February of 2019. I have lost 54 pounds so far and I owe a lot of my success to this group. The accountability and support from teammates is awesome.
My goals for May
1. Lose 4 pounds
2. Walk 8000 steps Monday to Saturday
4. Continue increasing my walking distance each day
5. Drink 8 cups of water a day
6. Join @lisasolo149 in her challenge to do 4 home workouts in 7 days
7. Continue to do tai chi
Look forward to reading your introductions and goals for the month.
I love that you are still doing your TaiChi. Is there a particular video you are using. I would like to add this for myself as a goal this month.
I am using the videos from the taiflow channel. There are different modules you can do.1 -

I’m sorry to hear you are in pain. I hope it gets better soon and that you are able to move it without too much pain. The May step challenge officially starts today (Sunday) so no stress about yesterday’s steps.
Congratulations on your weight loss this week! Well done 👍🏻 feel better soon. ❤️0 -

Saturday check in
Calories - Green
Exercise- Great I didn’t have much to do so I ended up working out 4 times. Boredom exercise vs boredom eating lol. Only the first was my more intense workout, the others were gentle more slow paced.
Hydration- Good
Sunday Goals
Calories - under maintenance, today is my relaxed eating day, not a full blown cheat but I’m ok if I’m red but still under maintenance

Well done! Great way to start the challenge!0 -
Hello,
My name is Rochelle and I live between Canada and the US, I am currently in the US in Michigan. I started my journey in 2014 at 276lbs and lost 70 pounds in the first year but I have never managed to stick to it long enough to reach my goal so it slowly creeps back up. My life has been a roller coaster this past year but I think I am finally in a place to make this happen. I am at my highest weight I have been since I lost the first bit.
May 1 start weight: 245
Steps May 1: 12484
May 2: 8438
Is there anyway I can make my weigh in day Friday as that is the day I have picked to weigh myself each week?0 -
