I am unsure of how the step challenge is presented. Do we total daily or weekly and when did/does this start? Do I tag someone? Is it posted here or another area? Oh the stress lol....2

Nice loss! Everyone picks their own weigh in day. Is Sunday ok still?@lindamtuck2018

Weigh-in Day: Sunday
PW: 276.6 lbs

I think I need to get on board with this months activity. Clearly what I am doing is not working (like over eating because "we are in the midst of the worst winter storm of a century --- pass me another cinnamon roll, please".
Set a small goal for the month and focus on that.JimBoden3
Weigh-in Day: Monday (Feb 27, 2023)

Only a smidge of a drop but it's 2 weeks in a row so pleased to be starting a downward trend.
Congrats on the loss!1 -

I'm ready for warmer weather so I can walk outside more comfortably. Today is sunny and beautiful but kinda windy (again) - gusts up to 40 mph but 44 degrees F. More wind the next few days then more snow again. I love the snow but ready for gardening weather!2 -

I didn't hit my step goal, but I did some great active recovery yoga to help my tight calves. That's a win in my book.2 -

Hi, welcome to all the new team members, wishing you all good luck 🍀
I did weigh in last Friday, but forgot to submit, so here it is, better late than never ☺️
PW - 165

Still struggling to be honest, life has been a bit worrying lately and winter makes me want to eat. I had covid last week but it did not affect my appetite. Goals for March are.. to get myself back on the wagon before i undo all of last years hard work. To log my food every day, to keep moving, and to hopefully get back to where i was in my maintenance range 🤞
Does anyone have any tips or advice for getting back on track? Many thanks...Dee x2 -
Steps: 6306
Day 1 ... Success 😃
I have listening to Dr Mindy Pelz on fasting for woman. This may be a game changer for me. Her book, Fast like a Girl, is on order but I have been listening to YouTube.
Today I fasted 20 hours...easy to do when my husband works, but might be a challenge when he's home 🙄
Better get moving to reach 5000 steps!!!4 -
My step pledge is 10minutes stair climber & 20 minutes treadmill. My current weight is 165.9. My previous weight is 169.9. My goal is to lose between 4-8 lbs per month until I reach 140lbs. I would also like to be consistent with my journey at the gym. I'm happily married. I live in WA state. I have 1 almost 11 year old daughter. I'm 30 years old. I'm very happy to be back on the team.🙂My workout yesterday(I'm a day late posting) was 10minutes on the stair climber and 20 on the treadmill.
🙂My workout today was 10 minutes stair climber and 20 on treadmill.3 -

Great job! I m also a faster! I eat between 2pm and 6pm just about every day now. The longer you do it the easier it becomes. Its really helped me as I've always gone without breakfast but struggled in the evenings with picking at food due to boredom! No more! I allow myself a few days off a month, when I have evening social events but now find it easy the rest of the time! If I feel i want to eat at night I have a very large drink and that cures it. Good luck with your journey2 -

My tip would be to sit and write 2 lists. One listing why you started the journey (ie the negatives) and one listing how you felt at goal (the positives). Stick them on your fridge door as a reminder. As a yoyo dieter I know how easy it is for 1 extra pound to become 2 then 3 then 7 then 14! Are you going back there??5 -

Hello Everyone, I'm Anita from Iowa. I'm 63 years old have been married for 43 years this May. Have 2 grown daughters and 2 granddaughters and 2 granddogs. I've struggles with my weight since I was 45 after having a hysterectomy. My health is the reason I am back with MFP. A year ago I got covid. It attacted my pancreas. I was very sick for several months. Which thru me into being a diabetic on insulin. My goal is to try to get some weight off and get off my insulin. I am aware of the dangers of being diabetic. I was in the medical field for 22 years. This why it is so important for me to get my weight down. Good luck to everyone this month.
