Hey, @StayFITTer I have one, but not yet ever connected with anyone for Fitbit community or challenges etc. Friend / PM if you wish and we can figure out how that works. (I don't even know how to identify myself in that community! The "handle" won't be the same as here 🤷♀️)

@PackerFanInGB . back to basics is always the best place to reset from. Fundamentals are the foundation to all. @PelotonLover1987 , what kind of after-supper activity will you be aiming to do? @Jana_2020 self care is always a good choice, and nice to see that you have grouped / connected things well. @BodyTalking nice…

Hey, @Caramel_Apple it's GREAT to see another "original Wii" user in the group! I am very familiar with the tennis. (my exergame of choice also uses the original wii and is called "Walk It Out" (2009 by Konami - makers of DanceDanceRevolution interface-controler mat) In UK the same game is sold as "Step To The Beat"…

What IS "skyr" ? where would I look for a recipe (or is it a commercial thing, like yogurt?) Just not from an ethnic tradition I happen to be familiar with.

LOTS of things qualify as "intentional activity" for 20 minutes (it doesn't HAVE to be heavy calorie-burning if you need to work on something like flexibility / prefer yoga anyway / are recovering from an injury or have some other preexisting cap or contra-indication for some choices ) As I mentioned above, if someone is a…

I didn't like the idea that downloading the above would make me auto open a "pay monthly" account (I am not a social-media follower of any stripe) but I DID spot a youtube step-by-step on how to create almost the same thing. Guess how I am spending the rest of Jan 1 ..... ;) (considering an overall Life Goal is…

And depending on your core fitness level (not an issue for ideas2, but maybe for some other newbies) ... the 20 minutes don't have to be all-in-one-go. So if being intentionally active is very new to you and you have little stamina .... divy it up during the day to 4 X 5 minute sections. Or walk-in-place only during tv…

Has anyone else ever tried the Reps to the Rhythm YouTube channel? I only JUST heard of it today. When I first did a general YT search, I thought it was all indoor step to the beat stuff, but when I went to the actual "channel" to see what was there - there were also short (10 - 12 - 15 minute) core or beginner dumbell or…

For the first 5 days of Jan, I will be finishing off the 30 Days of Doodles (started on Dec 6) AND setting up a habit-tracker for the rest of the month. I think I found a suitable pre-made Google spreadsheet type that is designed to make use of emojis (you choose your own) I seem to do better when I make things more like a…

(night of Dec 30) I am pre-logging 1/2 bottle of red wine into my Dec 31 Food Log (only toasting-beverage in the house) and THEN will be planning rest of Dec 31 around that. If plan works, I WILL be in the WC for Dec. Check towards the end of the day, to see if all went according to plan .... B) (secret-agent gal,…

Champion = "you kept reporting, even though you used 4+ pass days." (as opposed to dropping out) You are still here and reporting .... You are A CHAMPION!!!

It's just after lunch-time - so far no real reaction to the 9:30 am booster shot. I am gonna get my exercise out of the way NOW (juuuuuust in case the reaction sets in later in the day) Doodle-challenge drawing is also already done. Full report at the end of the day, including whether or not I am still in the running for…

I have always wanted to get into drawing / painting, but tend to be way too hyper-critcial of my efforts. Then years would go by before I would try again. Then I tried oil painting, (with photos or calendar images as the models) and was doing not badly (and then got pregnant and had to stop the classes / stay away from the…

Just looked up T. Colin Campbell in my Libby (Public Library) collection.

Dec choices (none had ANY redeeming value…

Hello, all. I am BeeJ ( @BMcC9 ) I used to be a long time UAC member, then I dropped off the face of UAC (and MFP itself) back in March of this year for ~ 7.5 months.

I don't think I have managed to hit on the right trigger / reward combo for the Daily Doodle. (was kinda letting the "Atta girl!" verbal or gesture reward never really pick up steam, then hit a big stretch of "didn't get to it today" and noticed no clear trigger-cue to get back at it). This is gonna be even more key when I…

The rules of this challenge are set in a way that allow for maximum "find what makes a sustainable eating / activity pattern for YOU / YOUR style - situation - preferences" flexibility. All we ask is that you show up, and report in. Just doing that much makes you a CHAMPION. It also supports the creation of self-awareness…

Hanging in for the Winner's Circle by a fingernail .... a very short fingernail .... 3 pass days used (Dec 2, 23, 25). I get my booster shot on Dec 30 mid-morning, so whether I make it in the end MIGHT come down to how I feel evening of the 30th / through the day on the 31st (judging by some of the reactions mentioned by…
