Hello everyone!
New year new me. I'm starting over as of today. I'm tired of being tired and sick. Time to get working on me. I'm 54 with a lot if health issues and I plan on overcoming them this year. This is my year.
I live with my adult son, boyfriend and two dogs. I love my family but it's time for some serious self care. That means focusing on me more.
My highest weight was 255.1 back on November 2018. I had weightloss surgery and went down to 169.9. Went through a bad relationship and went up to around 200 which is where I have Been since 2021. That relationship has ended and now I'm in a healthy relationship now. I'm determined this year. I'm starting this year at 205.1 lbs

We would like to extend a "thank you" to our former Motivator, @Sbus12 for her help during the time she was on the leadership team.
We are now seeking a new Motivator to work with our team. If you have a few extra minutes a few times a week that you could pitch in and be part of our leadership team, I would love to chat with you. Job is fairly simple...just share your experiences, words of wisdom, support to our members who might have questions...or simply give an occasion pep talk, share a meme, positive quote, picture, etc...anything to lift our team's spirits or give new knowledge about all issues concerning a fitness, weight-loss journey. FYI this does not require recording the stats or spreadsheet work...
Requirements are creativity and a caring heart...which describes pretty much everyone already here! Let me know if you're interested and we will talk more about it. Would love to hear from you...
Thanks,
Jessica

I'm assuming this is your request to register for the step challenge for January? Will your daily goal remain at 4500 like December, or would you like to adjust it. Please continue to report in every 2-3 days...I know you usually do daily, but want to make sure the commitment is clear. Thank!

Hi I'm Casandra, 40yrs old from Ontario, Canada. I have 3 daughters.
I live at home with my husband, 19yr old and 11 yr old daughters and 2 year old bully mix dog. I currently work from home helping my husband with his business, previously I was a dental hygienist. My life is currently comfortable, my past is riddled with various traumas. I've had a hard time healing and often feel "stuck". 2023 for the most part has been a good year, I'm in a much better place than I have been in a long time.
The holidays were hard this year, I had to walk my oldest kids through the loss of their bio dads step dad on Christmas. We visit the ICU to say goodbye to him on Christmas Eve, heard of his passing on Christmas and attended the funeral a couple days later. Their bio dad is not in their lives for many good reasons and we saw him for the first time in 15years at the funeral. Their Papa was always in their lives and is very important to them. It was vey hard.
Here's to a better 2024!

@CasandraW I’m so sorry for both you and your children’s loss. Christmas makes it especially difficult.
I had a very nice New Year’s Eve. It’s my husband’s birthday and it was also his dad’s. His father passed away in January 2019. This is the first year it wasn’t brutally painful. We still missed him, but even my husband was in good spirits.
I’d like to join the step challenge for January. My goal is 10,000 and I like to run on our town bike path when it’s not icy.
It might be a bit up and down as I’m tapering for a marathon on the 14th and then recovering afterwards, so less steps, but at least I’ll have one big day, hopefully!!!
Steps for 12/31. 16,942
Have a great New Year!

I'd like to join the step challenge for the month. My goal is 10,000 steps/day. I generally go for a walk with my boys down to the park for my most of my steps. I also run on the treadmill at the gym. Neither are particularly my favorite, but that's what's available at the moment.

Happy New Year Everyone!
My Name is Jen and I live in a small town in Southern Alberta Canada. I think I want to change my fitness goals and try something new this year. I was walking to work and it worked great, but with the colder weather and icy conditions, I think it best to find an "indoor" fitness program lol I was thinking of a dance exercise type one, something fun with good music, to keep me motivated and engaged.
I would like to sign up for the January Step Challenge, my goal is 10,000 steps per day. I will prob walk on the treadmill this winter till it's nicer and safer to walk outside on the paths again. Thank you
Jan 01= 8885
