    @frankwbrown That looks like a beautiful park to walk in! Thanks for the tips on the Garmin challenges. I'm feeling the need to up my steps a bit and will take a look to see what step challenges there are.

    My current adventure fantasy now is to hike in the New Forest National Park, then head on over to Wales and do the Welsh Three Peaks Challenge, then head up to Scotland and "bag a Munro" or two. 😂

    Garmin usually has two step-related challenges each month, plus there are two step-related challenges that involve consistency:
    * total of 100,000 steps over a 14 day period
    * total of 300,000 steps during the whole month
    * 10,000 steps per day for 30 days in a row
    * hit your daily steps goal (whatever you've set it to) for 60 days in a row

    @pedal__power Remember there's going to be another team Step Challenge in September! I've forgotten which week but @jessicakrall8 can tell you.

    @frankwbrown I also appreciate the information you share about Garmin! I'm thinking of switching from Fitbit when I get my new watch for my birthday in late September.

    @frankwbrown is out Garmin Guru...I asked him a while back to post new challenges / badges as they come open...he really is a walking encyclopedia on "all things Garmin"! Thanks Frank! He helped me pick out my Garmin watch when I stopped using Fitbit after they dropped all of their challenges and I just love it. We have a new challenge with the four of us who use Garmin watches now...running Sep 1-15...if anyone else joins the Garmin family, post it here and we'll all add you and then you can join our custom challenges too! The more the merrier! :smile:

    Hi everyone,

    I just signed up to join you in the September round. I was apart of this team a few months ago and had some success. I was even closing in on my goal. But then life hit hard (I'll probably share more at later time) and I ran. I spiraled hard. And I gained a butt load of weight in not a lot of time.


    I am now back, with my tail between my legs, and I'm pretty sure weighing more than when I originally joined, determined to get my life back on track. I'm glad I'm back here and looking forward to starting with you next week.

    -Julie
    Welcome back! Hugs!

    Please excuse me from the next two weigh-ins. Short notice but my husband has booked us a trip to Colorado for our anniversary. I haven’t even finished unpacking from our last trip!

    @izzyred9400 What a bummer that it broke like that! I hope you have a lovely time in Greece. It sounds kinda nice to take a break from everything for a bit. I sometimes feel like a slave to my fitbit! But it is for the better I guess. You came pretty close this month with steps. I had a really lazy last week of the month, so I did some extra stepping yesterday so I would at least have 100k total for the week.
