@HASWLRS @deepwoodslady @ddainiak Thank you!

@HASWLRS , my main focus is just seeing how many steps I'm taking per day, or when I'm dancing, doing aerobics, etc. If I'm on a treadmill, I can at least see I walked X miles, but when I'm doing some kind of generic walking, I was hoping I could count my steps or have a more reliable measurement of my exercise. I do sometimes use the step count to allow more calories too.

@ddainiak I knit and weave Mon-Fri, and in general move my hands around for hours a day. Which is why I was wondering how accurate everyone's devices are, and if they happen to count hand motions as steps. I had a generic FitBit knockoff type watch that counted every movement, which made it useless. I had some other device that was just too sensitive. My husband has an apple watch and some other watch, both that track way too many things. I might look at a FitBit if I plan to buy something -- I love the look of them, and I know that they *generally* have decent battery life.

@deepwoodslady I will steal this idea to wear it on my ankle. My husband is letting me try his old Google watch, that apparently has a step counter. I don't have a stretchy band for it, but I can figure it out how to rig it for now to put it on my ankle. Thank you for the idea.

And thank you to for all the responses.

Hi All, I am a busy mother of five slowly working my way to my goal weight. During September I entered my "Normal" BMI category and am now about 10 pounds from my ultimate goal. This will be my 3rd month in this challenge. I had never weighed myself daily before this challenge, and I am finding it to be so helpful and informative to weigh and check in daily.

My goal for November is to NOT GET DERAILED BY THANKSGIVING. 🦃 🥧 😊 Let me tell you, I can really get derailed by a holiday. I may or may not log on Thanksgiving or the day after, and that's OK. But my Thanksgiving goal is to log daily from Saturday the 25th through the end of the month.

Starting weight September 1: 141.0

Starting weight November 1: 132.8

Goal for November: 130.4 Considering Thanksgiving, I'm setting my goal a tad on the conservative side.

November 1: 132.8 I logged 🍁
November 2: 132.8 I logged 🍁
November 3: 131.4 I logged 🍁 Very happy with today's weight. Over the past week there have been several days that I ate at maintenance, and a couple days I ate well over maintenance. It was hard to tell if I was needlessly eating more, or if I really needed the additional calories. I've already got my activity level set to almost the highest one, and I haven't even gone running or done any exercise for over a week. I guess I walk constantly around the house, dealing with the children and doing housework, always on my feet, and I frequently have to do up and down the stairs to deal with something or put something away, so maybe that burns a lot sometimes. For a while there I thought I was "failing" because I could not hit my calorie goal.
November 4: 131.0 I logged 🍁
November 5: 130.8
November 6: 132.2 I logged 🍁
November 7: 131.8 I logged 🍁
November 8: 131.4 I logged 🍁
November 9: 131.2
November 10: 131.2 I logged 🍁 Had a really bad day yesterday. Ended up overeating and eating too much chocolate. Hopefully it won't cause my weight to spike up. Today is a new day.
November 11: 131.0 I logged 🍁
November 12: 131.2 I logged 🍁 OK, time to break through this number, lol.
November 13: 130.6 I logged 🍁

Hello I'm Darlene and have been with this group for a few months now. Retired, 63-year-old. Married (Greg), one adult daughter (Allyson), and one goldendoodle (Monty). Been with this group since the spring - my favorite group for support!

My goals for 🦃November🦃 - simplifying them this month - too hard to keep track of everything last month

⚖️ Lose 4 pounds (always my goal) - bringing me out of the obese category and into overweight
👣 17K steps daily with one day of rest
📝 Log Daily
🥗 Stay under my calorie range

⚖️👣📝🥗

Highest Weight: 228
October Ending Weight: 169.6

Nov 1: 171 - 👣 📝 🥗 17K Steps Not off to a good start - but it's temporary!
Nov 2: DNW - 📝 4K Steps Tough day for eating and exercise yesterday. It was our monthly visit to my husband's 91 year old cousin who lives about 2 hours away. Leave at 5:30 AM - have breakfast and lunch with her (not good choices) and then a long drive back home later in the afternoon. We got back home at 6:00. Lovely visit, but it makes for a long day and I am exhausted when I get home. I hit the left over Halloween candy for dinner, no exercise at all, couldn't sleep (probably too much sugar). It's just a temporary situation (didn't I say that yesterday?)! Will get back to it today!
Nov 3: 170.4 👣 📝🥗 23K Steps Good day yesterday; everything on track and on my way back. As a reward for making my 2,023 goal hubby said to get the new Garmin Fitness tracker that I have been eyeing. It came a couple of days ago and I've been trying to figure it out; wearing both the Fitbit and Garmin. Today will switch to totally Garmin. Hubby is getting the Fitbit.
Nov 4: 170.2 👣📝🥗 20K Steps A slow creep in the right direction. Girls day at the casino today - my sisters and aunt are going. Wish me luck! I should still be ok. I'm eating my breakfast before I go, will bring a protein bar and fruit for my lunch and will be home for dinner. And I won't be drinking (I have to drive home).
Nov 5: 170.4 👣📝🥗 20K Steps
Nov 6: 170.6 👣📝🥗 21K Steps Ugh - I've been struggling to see a decrease this week. The only thing I can think of is that I haven't been reaching my water goal. Will concentrate on that today and hope for a whoosh!
Nov 7: 169.6 👣📝🥗 20K Steps Finally back to my October ending weight. Now to keep it below the 170s for good.
Nov 8: 168.4 😁 👣📝🥗 23K Steps My first smile this month! Woo Hoo! Guess who is no longer "obese"! 😉
Nov 9: 169.8 👣📝🥗 21K Steps Expected an uptick, and am actually glad that it is not more. Trivia Night last night (took 2nd place) - over my sodium goal and used all my calories from exercise.
Nov 10: 169.6 👣 📝 🥗 20K Steps
Nov 11: 169.8 👣 📝 🥗 22K Steps A slow creep in the wrong directiion. Went out to dinner, self sabatoge. Time to get back to it!
Nov 12: 169.4 👣📝🥗 20K Steps A beautiful day in Connecticut yesterday. After my morning walk, spent the day cleaning up the yard - harvested the last of the herbs (froze for later), cleaned up the garden, put away the summer yard stuff. Then relaxed the rest of the day. I'm reading Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes again before I go see the movie next week.
Nov 13: 169.4 👣📝🥗 20K Steps A chilly start to the day, but beautiful. Got in 20K steps all week - I love walking in the cold weather. It's bingo night with Mom tonight - I HAVE to resist the desserts that everyone brings - gotta get that scale to move!
Nov 14: 168.4 😁 👣📝🥗 19K Steps
Nov 15: 168.8 👣📝16K Steps

I've started doing pilates instead of diastasis recti exercises (mostly healed- but still being careful). And I am so sore xD. On the bright side, my toddler likes to do exercise videos with me 🥰

Hi! I'm Susan, 70, retired teacher, 5'3" and started November 8 at 186. I'm married, with one son, living just outside of Philadelphia. My husband and I down-sized 6 months ago, from a 140-year-old handmade house to a high-rise condo. Twelve years ago we both had bariatric surgery, which worked well for me and not at all for my husband. His weight and mobility drove the down-sizing. Between Covid, housing research, financials, moving and letting go of a home and town I loved I gained 36 pounds. I've used a Fitbit for years but just added MFP and FitDays for an electronic scale. I just learned how to use an air fryer and love it! My downfall is wine, which I've spent months excising. My goal is to weigh daily, keep to 1200 healthy calories and 5,000 steps a day (low bar--it was 10,000 before the move) and lose 6 pounds a month till I get back to my ideal weight of 150. This is my first full week. I'll probably post weekly:
Nov. 8: 184
Nov. 14: 181

Nov. 28:

P.S. Although I'm pretty techie, I don't do a lot of social media, so please give me pointers.

Hi, I'm a 50+ yo married female, 5'6", and tired of looking and feeling like I do. I’m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again.

Nov 13: 204.4
Nov 14: 204.4
Nov 15: 205.4 -- I slept about 4 hours last night, and had sleepy tea at 3am. Both those things spiked the number, because I ate pretty healthy yesterday. Not stressing it.

@SusanPalmer3308 This is a discussion thread under the category of "Challenges". Anyone can read it or comment on it or reply to someone's comment by quoting it first. We call it a group, because it feels like a group, but technically it is not. If you go to the Group tab, that is where you will find groups. The discussion threads for those are within the group and oftentimes you have to "join" the group to see its contents. (There is usually a "join" button on the home page).

Yay making progress finally. Now if I can actually lose more than 2kgs it would be great!
