And here's my short intro (sorry tired). I'm Pearl, been here for awhile, on and off for the last 2 years. I'll be 39 next month, live I the UK with hubby and kids, and I'm a part time student, working on a second career in mental health. I have been overweight/obese my whole adult life and with a few babies and life's ups…

@micki48 steps 1 Mar 12220 with a 5 K run. Beat my personal best ever in 35.32 minutes. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I couldn't get it under 40 for weeks. This improvement happened in 20/30 second installments so I've been at it for awhile. Feeling good.

@micki48 steps 28 Feb 6729 with a 30 minutes strength workout and many many flights of stairs lugging furniture, helping someone move (about 2 hours worth)

@micki48 cograts on the loss <3 I know this is a huge achievement for you! Keep it up. As for the rest of your post- i couldn't have put it any better, every word is gold! Steps 26 Feb 4876 27 Feb 5012 No workouts, been a stressful few days. Back on it today I hope.

@micki48 steps 25 Feb 11599

Wednesday weigh-in PW 86.3 CW 85.7 Happy with this. Going in the right direction.

@micki48 steps 23 Feb 11125 with a 5 K run. Beat my previous time by just over one minute which felt great. @jugar yes I have received those. There is a thread on the forums asking people to report them. Apparently, there was a safety breach a few years back and old accounts are being hacked into by scammers. One of the…

@micki48 I use a very old fashioned stepcounter which literally just counts steps. So there is no way for me to check! Also can't retrieve any missed days. Sorry! Steps 22 Feb: 4911 no workout

@micki48 steps 22/02 8854 & a 30 minute strength workout.

@micki48 Steps 18/02 6304 with 30 minutes strength workout. 19/02 13102 with 5 K run. 20/02 forgot to wear tracker, but would guess around 6000. No workout. Food on Saturday was terrible. Why do I do this every weekend?

@micki48 steps 17/02 11148 with a 30 minutes strength workout.

Wednesday weigh-in PW: 86.4 CW: 86.3 Not a loss really but I had a big drop last week so I'm trying to remind myself that's a good rate of loss and not let dissappointment derail me.

@micki48 steps 5007 with a 30 minute strength workout. Sorry I don't think my numbers are going to go up for the time being.

@micki48 steps 15/02 6026 I've fallen off the wagon a bit. Not been excersizing and food not great either :'( I'll try to get back on today...

@micki48 steps 15/02 6514 and 30 minutes strength workout legs &abs I'm not really getting 10k in as I was hoping :'(

@micki48 steps 12/02/21 8901 13/02/21 8763

@jugar so glad to hear you are doing well! I'm sure you're happy that the surgery is now behind you. Have a wonderful and restful weekend <3

@micki48 Steps 11/02/21 14038 incl 30 minutes workout: strength- full body.

Impressive! Well done <3

@micki48 steps for 11/02 11525 with a 5 K run (40 minutes)

Wednesday weigh-in PW: 87.5 CW 86.4 Very happy :smile: @jugar all the best for your surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery!

@micki48 Steps 09/02 6524, including a 30 minutes strength workout Core & Abs. Steps will not be great this week as kids are off 'school' for half term break so they don't even have zoom lessons and I get even less time to myself. I miss my runs :'(

Runs were Mon/wed/Fri- thanks @micki48 Steps 08/02/21 2967 but you can easily double that as I didn't wear my stepcounter most of the day and normally get to around 8000 just living. Also did a 30 minutes legs and abs workout.

@jugar @micki48 I only started tracking on 1/02. Of the numbers I've submitted, there are 3 X 5K runs, around 40 minutes each. The runs normally account for 6000ish steps. Today I forgot to put my tracker on until 3 pm so I won't have much to show :neutral:

Thank you. My goal is 10k daily. If I wear my tracker during runs and workouts, is that ok or should I deduct? These are my numbers including workouts. 01/02 12101 02/02. 9443 03/02 17174 04/02. 10402 05/02. 7303 06/02 8760 07/02. 10937 and counting :p

@micki48 happy to join the step team for now. I don't normally track steps but will for for the next 12 weeks.

A few people here mentioned Leslie Sansone. I had never heard of her, so today decided to do a workout to bump my steps. Really enjoyed. She's so energetic! Very easy to get lots of steps and doesn't feel like a sweaty workout. I also did a leg and abs workout this morning. Food was so so but under maintenance so hopefully…

Woohoo! That's amazing!

Wednesday weigh-in PW 88.4 CW 87.5 Very very happy with this.
