    6 days left of our challenge. I did get on my scale and gained a few but not as bad as I thought. I'lll do a final weigh in next week.

    Have a great day!

    For the month of October I have been doing a self-challenge of 10K steps daily. In the last weeks I have noticed improved ‘slow jogging’ times.
    Sharing a video showing my slow jogging. Guess it really is a thing 👍

    Wish we could walk/jog together
    Best wishes in your journey

    @200Karen Thanks for this video! I really need to walk 30 min. each day rain or shine. At work, I get 10,000 steps per day but it's not the same. Walking in nature, outside with the fall leaves, would serve me well.

    I used to jog and do 5K runs. I am a slow jogger - I could never get my feet up much as I ran. That's just my natural ability or inability. LOL I think slow jogging would have many benefits and not be hard on the knees. Maybe I will work up to that slow jog again.

    My name is Donna. I am 63 years old and I live in the Midwest of the US. I am 5’ 5” tall.

    Just a friendly reminder to you all because I care about you. Please don’t forget to schedule your mammograms and do your self-checks.

    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    10/10-183.2-(Trend Weight: 187.1)-

    10/17-185.8-(Trend Weight: 186.3)-

    10/24-186.6-(Trend Weight: 186.)- Weighed in after a day of travel with several restaurant meals. Of course, I’m not happy with this number. The only thing I can do is to do something about it. Less food and more movement and exercise which is completely opposite of a travel day. I can do that, but I don’t think I can make my October goal now. That makes me sad, but I am glad to still have dropped some pounds during the challenge and put myself into a new decade.

    10/31-181.4-(Trend Weight: 184.9)- I am thrilled that I managed to pull it off this week and exceed my October goal. I did really well with both diet and exercise nearly every day (one day did have a restaurant meal that put me over). I increased my exercise but it made me sick last night so the last 1.5 pounds was because I couldn’t eat much yesterday, but I’ll take full credit for the rest of it. My full challenge goal was to lose 12 pounds and I have shed 12.4. I think it’s the first time in a few years I’ve made goal. Great job everyone for showing up and doing so well in so many ways. I’m proud of us all! See you tomorrow in the November round.


    Oct Start: 188.2
