Friday May 3 Congratulations to all the champions! Donated blood and I finished in less than 6 minutes. 😳 Although they always say skip the bigger workout on donation days, the nurse cautioned that I watch it closely on Friday. Lots of small slow walks and did (some of) my physio and mobility as lots of head rushes and…

Thursday May 2 ✅✅✅ 70+ minutes in the pool: water jogging, physio, and mobility all in the water. Felt great. Won’t be in the pool Friday as I am giving blood first thing in the morning (and no strenuous efforts for the remainder of the day) No pass days

Congratulations to all the winners! You are fabulous! 🌼🌷🌼 @BMcC9 Welcome back! 🌷

I agree @takinitalloff that during the times when the group gets quite large, the admin role becomes overwhelming (well, that’s how I found it). And, as I observed, we had a lot of drop outs from the folks that joined from the wide recruiting effort. The key to “staying” is connection or community. When people invite…

@SummerSkier Do you want either the 11th or 28th? Happy to give you one!

Welcome to all the newcomers: hello and Happy May to all those who are continuing from April 🌱🌷🌼 I am Julie and live on the prairies in Canada 🇨🇦 where spring comes later than in many parts of North America. We have a very short growing season and I do my best to make the most of the time we have. 👩‍🌾🍓🥒🥕🍅🥬🫑🍎 I have been…

@takinitalloff - I have also thought about how “exercise” can scare off folks and the question of what to do about “rest days” arises from many who are not already in a rhythm of activity. I saw this graphic in a presentation by one of the kinesiology interns at my doctor’s office and it struck the right note for me:

Good morning @takinitalloff 😊 I’d like to take May 11 and can also do one of May 21, 24, 27, or 28. Thanks!

Wednesday May 1 ✅✅✅ Have set May goals…

I set done goals for April and this is how it went… 1. Report in on the UAC for every day in April Success 2. Get back to workouts in the pool Did it, with more success to come in May 3. Have scheduled meal times and use pre-tracking as much as possible Success The meal times are helping; will use more pre-tracking in May…

I am so happy to see your decision and your post @Bella_Figura 🫶🏻

Today (Feb 6) is the final day to join and still qualify for winners or champions circles. Having said that — join anyway and whenever! So many members lose weight or maintain successfully without reaching those two exclusive and hard to achieve honours. Three easy health habits — and sp much success in the group. We are…

Do any of you use the World Walking app (or web site)…. It was created in Scotland and is free. I’ve virtual walked through a number of countries and find it quite motivating. We could start a group there to track if anyone is interested? https://worldwalking.org/apps

Hi @jimmydr5 — the link is in the opener to this thread, but can also be found at https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/145828-ultimate-accountability-challenge-january-2024 Remember to click “Join” at the page found through that link…. Would love to have you with us!

Why wait until January to set some healthy intentions and develop good habits for exercise and nutrition? Join us any time and learn and succeed with us. We’d welcome you and we are a really supportive group, each learning to manage ourselves through healthy behaviours and attitudes. 😊

Group is now set to "Private" -- but don't let that stop you from requesting to join and getting some practice in on building healthy habits and learning what we are all about.

We are open (public) for new members to join until end of day on the 6th of each month. I isn’t too late to take December in hand and give it your best. 💡💡💡

Our first day starts tomorrow! Hope you’ll consider joining us? December need not be a month where you gain or struggle….

I really appreciate the focus on our behaviours and habits — which are essential not only to lose the weight, but to keep it off. A great mix of folks in weight loss mode and those in maintenance. Lots of new members each month. I have been with the group since August 2021. I learn so much each month. Come join us? 😊

@77tes I am so sorry that your daughter is going through this and for the stress it brings to your life. Well done keeping up your walking and biking — they will keep you healthy to help her and help to manage your own stress. Thinking of you and your family. 💛

Thanks so much for your message Terri 💛 Goodness it is hard to slow down and be patient with myself 😮‍💨 @TerriRichardson112

Have started October back slow and steady after some significant health issues. Feeling so much better now, and hope that things continue to improve. 🤞🏻 I have my treadmill set up and it is a good option for me as the terrain is predictable.

Walktober could not be better timed! I am just getting back to walking after a health setback, and the doctor ordered complete rest. Starting back slow and steady with the hope that things continue to improve. 🤞🏻 I have my treadmill set up and it is a good option for me as the terrain is predictable. 😂🤣 October Walks 🥾 =…

Thanks @77tes - like @themedalist I’m checking it out too!
