I find earning badges on the activity app motivates me. This week it spurred me on to go a little bit longer on the elliptical and the treadmill. I earned badges for getting the highest calories burned to date for each one. I also earned a first time hiking badge. I have hiked before but never used my activity tracker for…

I agree I need to be careful and not go straight to full on exercise. Even though I want to close those rings I will take it easy with the exercise. I have tried all kinds of ways to try and have hubby join me. It will be easier to do come summer and we get outdoors more. He just isn’t a gym guy.

It’s been awhile since I have checked in here. The flu hit me pretty hard. Still going to chemo 2X every 2weeks, a never ending constant in my life. I lost 5 pounds while sick but gained 4 back in a week. I wasn’t trying at all to watch what I eat and I hadn’t been exercising. I think I have the strength again to get…

Congrats to everyone who met there goals for January. I met the goal to start exercising. I need to keep this up for February but can see I really need to buckle down on my snacking. I still have my exercise goal of closing all my rings for a week. I should have but my watch did not calculate correctly. So in reality I…

Glad to see you are creating a plan to combat your depression. Good luck on the new job search.

That sounds like a good plan. It’s hard to tackle everything at once. Set a couple goals and master those and then add to it.

It’s nice to read how everyone else is doing. It’s inspiring for me. The only thing I accomplished for January is starting the exercise routine. My eating habits need a lot of work. I have been up and down 2 pounds all month for a zero change. I think for February I will take measurements. I am loving my watch challenges.…

I got all my exercise in today. Not doing good with eating habits. I am on the verge of a little binge session. Need to find a distraction. Got a phone call this evening that my mom had a major stroke and is in ICU. I live 10 hours away by plane. So emotional eating is trying to get me.

So I am halfway to my goal this week of closing all the activity rings on my Apple tracker. I was trying to talk myself out of going to the gym today though. Then I received messages on other Apple users finishing their workout. That encouraged me to get my butt to the gym and close my rings. Glad I did. Now to finish the…

My snacking issues happen at work. Poor choices, mindless snacking. Sitting at a desk. I do better at home. I like your ideas to try and deal with it. My plan is to pre plan my snacks but I need to stay away from that vending machine holding the pretzels.

@msarobix I would like to close all the rings on my watch for 7 days. I will earn a badge for that. 7 days in a row may be a stretch for me but will give it a try.

Hi all, I would love to join in. Yes I would like to lose weight but I really want this to be about healthy habits. In oct 2017 I had weight loss surgery, this helped me lose 100 pounds. Now the weight doesn’t just melt off anymore and bad habits will get you into trouble again. I could stand to lose another 50 but if I…

I am looking for Apple Watch users myself. I like the challenges. It helps motivate me to close my rings. I am by no means a super exercise gal but am trying to get in the habit again. [personal details removed by MFP mods]

Hi all, I am new to this challenge. I would love to join. I find challenges help keep me motivated. My goals are to pay more attention to my eating habits and log daily. Exercising wouldn’t hurt either. I have been preoccupied this summer and fall with cancer treatment. Ready to get healthier. SW:184 GW:182 12/4 12/5 12/6…

I am from Wyoming. Live in Alaska now. I have not been real steady with my Fitness Pal for awhile now. I have been busy dealing with cancer. I want to make sure I don’t over eat this December. Need to start a good exercise program again. Adding new Fitness Pal friends I think would be a good start to the upcoming new year.

Ok, I will give this a try. Definitely the fab abs and maybe the twists. Hope this will give me the incentive to get more exercise on a consistent basis.

I think I am going to be too busy for dedicated walking. I did start my new part time job which requires being on my feet for 8 hours with lots of walking.

Just another store walk. Bought my Turkey and fixings for Thursday.

Ok group, it looks like this is getting hard for us every day. Let’s keep trying though.

Ok I missed a day, maybe 2? Too tired to really remember. Today I did some walking at Cabelas and looked around a parking lot for a geocache. It was cold out. It snowed and I did 30 minutes shoveling at least. I didn’t time my other walking. Granddaughter playing outside while I shovel.

I didn’t get any walking in yesterday. I really wanted to. It was a highly stressful day. I didn’t succumb to food. I went to the gym after work and did 35 min on the treadmill. A pair of swans from a trip this summer.

@aganey. Happy Birthday and I hope you get the food out.

It’s getting to the point where outdoor walking is going to be hard to get in. It’s cold and dark here most of the time. Dark when I go to work and dark when I get off. I started going back to the gym after work. Today I did the elliptical instead of treadmill but I do have 8,500 steps so far today. So since getting photos…

That cathedral is gorgeous. I walked around Costco again for 45 minutes and bought a new pair of winter boots. Then later I did 15 minutes looking for a geocache. Found it. No picture from today as my phone froze in the 20 degrees. So I will post a summer photo from the same location.

30 minutes at the grocery store shopping. I️ really don’t want to use my everyday stuff for the 30 minutes but would rather have it be extra. It will have to do I️ guess. I got a second job today. This will keep me on my feet for 6 hours. No photo today.

This walking 30 minutes everyday is getting harder. I am at work for 10 hours. It is cold and dark when I get off work. Sunshine and light would make it so much easier. I got 30 minutes done in Costco. No photos today. I decided my next hobby to take up is geocaching and tomorrow I am interviewing for a second job.

@h2596. But you green hedges. I would trade.
