@Megan_smartiepants1970 - I'd like to join the step challenge for June, with a goal of 5,000 steps a day.

Question for @Megan_smartiepants1970 or other admins. I just joined this group at the beginning of May. Do I need to sign up again for June, or do I just keep going with this group? Thank you!

Weigh-in day: Monday 5/29 Previous weight: 298.2 Current weight: 297.3 (-.9) This is achievement of a mini-goal for me. I've now lost 10% of my starting weight. Much more to go, but slow and steady wins the race, right??

BACK AT YA!!

Weigh-in day: Monday Previous weight: 298.4 Current weight 298.2 (-.2) I'm glad I posted a loss rather than a gain, but I'm really disappointed because I completely sabotaged myself this weekend, after doing so well and being consistent the rest of the week. I am getting close to another milestone (10% of my starting…

Great job, that's an amazing loss this week!

Great question! I decided to finally get serious about getting healthy because I am one of the very lucky parents who is blessed to have a great relationship with their child (children actually). My daughter would be my best friend if I hadn't birthed her, and I don't want to miss a single day with her or my son-in-law.…

Weigh-in day: Monday 5/15 Previous weight: 300.3 Current weight: 298.4 (-1.9) Pretty happy with this morning's weigh-in as my mother was in town for Mother's Day and we ate out for every meal. I tried to make good choices, and practice portion control. This was most difficult when my kids took us out for a Mother's Day…

Monday walk challenge check-in (Team Walking Mamas): 4644

Good morning, team! It's a rainy Monday here in Wisconsin, so I'm glad I got outside to do some yardwork yesterday when it was in the low 80s and sunny. Apparently a couple of hours of shoveling, raking, and sweeping was what I needed to kick-start my scale. PW: 304.8 CW: 300.3 (-4.5) Challenge steps for Sunday (Team…

Absolutely! I've got us off to a good start with two hours of yard work that added up to over 7000 steps! Now we need a team name... Tammy

Hi Jessica - reporting in that I had no BINGOs for the challenge. I did eat healthy meals every day, and got multiple days for some of the other squares. I think those who did achieve a BINGO must have a lot more free time than I do.

I will partner with you for the challenge. I usually walk in the same step range, but now that it's getting warmer outside I can get out to do daily walks. Feel free to message me if you'd like to do this together! Tammy

Good morning, team. I have a general MFP question that I couldn't find an answer to in the community FAQ. When I exercise, it's adding the calories I've burned to my daily total, but I don't want to eat those calories I've burned off. Does anyone know how to turn that off?

Weigh-in day: Monday PW/Starting Weight: 301.9 CW: 304.8 (+2.9) Not happy about this first weigh-in after reporting my starting weight for the challenge, but I ate out more this weekend than I normally do, and I went to a potluck after my 5K on Saturday. I tried to make healthy choices, but not many were available and I…

1. Tell us a little about yourself? Where are you from? Family? Pets? What are some of your hobbies? Etc. I live in Madison, WI and I'm a marketer for a local university. I have a wonderful daughter and an amazing son-in-law who live about 20 minutes from me, and we spend quite a bit of time together. My daughter is also…

Hi team Downsizers! I'm a newbie at this and excited to get started on this journey with you. I'm Tammy from Wisconsin, age 58. Had a good (exhausting!) workout with my trainer today and achieved a couple of personal records, which are always exciting for me. Going on my first 5K of the year tomorrow with my daughter, and…

General dumb question - I've never been part of one of these challenges before...and maybe I'm getting ahead of myself...but how will we know when the new group/board has been created for May? Does everyone in the group get a message, or get tagged or something so we get a notification? I'm trying to learn my way around…

Thank you for the warm welcome, Megan. This is my first time in this group, I signed up for the challenge beginning in May, which I guess begins this Sunday. My name is Tammy and I live in Wisconsin. I'm 58 (how did THAT happen?) and I'm a marketer with a local university. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you while we…

I'd like to join in. This is my first challenge I've participated in on MFP, but it feels doable. I just started on my path to being healthier yesterday, but we've all got to start somewhere, right? My starting weight is 308.2. If I meet the challenge goal, I should be at 288.2 by Christmas, but hoping to beat that.…
