    @Megan_smartiepants1970 I don’t know if I’d be a good candidate for the steps challenge or not? My step count can vary widely, and I can’t always push it. I always give best effort, but sometimes that’s 1,500 and sometimes that’s 8,000. Would that throw off your stats?

    @Cheesy567 if you would like to participate in the step challenge .. Just give me a step pledged that you think you can hit daily and post your steps in our chat either daily or weekly ... Also I can convert most exercise into steps for example your ellipitical :)

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 Ok, I’ll pledge 3500 per day and maybe increase per month if I’m hitting it most days. My step counter catches the elliptical and most of my activity that counts, I’ll list anything else. Thank you!

    Happy Sunday and happy start to a new month! Still fluctuating between the same 5 lbs, which is sooo frustrating. I’ve been walking (mostly getting my steps in), drinking lots of water, watching food intake, and still these 5 lbs are hanging around. I can’t get out of the 160s!

    PW: 161.4
    CW: 161.4

    Steps for this week:
    3/27: 2,939
    3/28: 9,592
    3/29: 7,791
    3/30: 7,695
    3/31: 8,764
    4/1: 5,582
    4/2: 4,625
    4/3: 4,100

    Hopefully I get out of the 160s eventually.

    We’re on spring break this week, so I definitely have to push myself a little bit more to ensure I stay on track. I will also (hopefully) have the energy to check-in, and post a couple times!

    Have a great week, everybody!

    Good evening everyone. It's time to wind your weekend down and ramp up your work week routine.
    Check in for 4/3:
    Steps - 6246 plus 20 minutes recumbent bike moderate intensity.
    Calories - 1684. Good amount.
    Exercise - gym tonight after dinner. Only 7 machines and 20 minutes bike. Got chased out by the staff. They wanted to go home, for some reason.
    Hopefully I will get a walk in the morning and go learn pickleball with old people.

    Amazing work, good job!

    Good morning all. Happy Monday from me. Hope you all have a great week ahead. I'm getting off to a good start with scales down 3.8lbs. Just need to stay on track and with it!

    Have a great week, everybody!

    The question I am asking myself this month are there any small changes I can make each week to help reduce my calories to help with weight loss. This week I am changing my bread. It saves me 100 calories for 2 slices of bread. Are there any small changes you can make this week?

    Feel better. I would think your A1C should have improved with all the weight you have lost. Let us know what it is.

    I never heard of pickle ball until I moved to Ontario. Enjoy it tomorrow. I think it would burn lots of calories.

    ✅Steps 14,211

    I have two doctors appointments this morning. The first is on the phone followed by an in person at the spine center. I think the doctor there will go into more details of my appointment I had with the neurologist is March. I am hoping she can give me some idea how long I will wait for my surgery referral. I am aiming to go to the pool when I get back. I will have 2 days off later in the week as I am going away so I can’t miss today. I am off to get some housework done while waiting for the phone appointment. Of course, they gave a timeline of 9 to 10:30.

    I read this quote the other day and it really hit home. My anxiety quite often interferes with my weight loss goals so this really applies to my life. I know a few of you have mentioned dealing with anxiety in the past so I thought I would share it.


    Your anxiety is tricking you into thinking you can’t. Remind yourself you can.
