I average 26,000 to 28,000 steps per day, tracking with a Fitbit One which I love. My goal is to walk more than 20,000 steps on weekdays with three days over 25,000 plus a minimum of 16,000 daily on weekends. I usually find myself over that, plans permitting B)

Howdy B) Welcome to the fun (and insanity)! -ker

Laughing at them works too, on so many levels B)

Howdy! It will take me a while to just get through the November posts, but wanted to say 'hi' and introduce myself. I'm 64, and this is my second real commitment to MFP (many many more times losing and gaining weight). I lost about 80 pounds during my last MFP adventure, but through a series of things aka excuses and bad…

z4oslo - we will agree to disagree, perhaps. B) I'm using my Fitbit to count steps, that's it. I use their calorie burn estimate only as a very general guideline (and it does actually use a variety of 'active' minutes vs casual minutes to calculate that burn, as well as personalized step distance, etc). I'm challenging…

I have a Samsung Gear as well as a FitBit One. I have found the Gear is woefully inadequate for tracking steps, but also found that true of any device worn on the wrist. I don't always swing my arms when walking, especially if I'm pushing a cart or carrying stuff, so the FitBit One (worn in my pants pocket) is much more…

I keep thinking that this stuff will be over (it's been more than a week), but when one patch starts fading, another appears. Most current group is on my knee. And it ITCHES grrrrr. Not good news about 50% effectiveness on the shot, and so sorry you had it as well :s

<Waving magic wand at Chris' problem> BLAST - didn't work... sorry. But kudos for keeping at it and trying different solutions to find the one that will work for you! Must say, it's good to see you here... one of my old 'buddies' from when I was active on MFP the first time. You'll find the solution, I have faith. May not…

Best: Calories in, calories out. The more nutritious the calories, the better health benefits, but weight loss is still calories in, calories out. Worst (and this will cause some flags or haters): All adult humans must eat a minimum of 1200 calories a day, or they will lose muscle/go into starvation mode (yeah, right) /…

Nice to see you again Ronna! Congrats on staying so close to your goal weight - so impressive under your circumstances. Look forward to seeing you ride your scooter in here!
-
sheesh - didn't mean to leave you alone in here, retirehappy (sorry, I don't know your real name :/ ) I'm really focussed on getting to a rest area goal for Christmas, but my 'schedule' has me down eight pounds from today's scale reading on November 28. I'm just intending on logging, eating according to my plan and walking…

We're still pretty undecided about what to do on Thanksgiving. Son and girlfriend are going to her hometown for the weekend, so we're free to do whatever we like (as in, NOT cook a traditional Tgiving meal :smiley: ) Wouldn't be surprised if we decided to go to the lake - husband doesn't get many four day weekends, and…

Never had a flu shot when I was younger, then occasionally when I got 55+, mostly because husband works in a hospital environment. Then I postponed (aka forgot) shot two years ago, and got the flu. I've never been so sick in my entire life, and would have ended up in the hospital myself if not for an RN friend who gave me…

Now if I just had some of those special brownies I ate back when I first listened to this album MANY years ago :blush:

I'm doing much better than I used to, and yes, it's because I added fats back into my diet. When it's been 'too long', I have a small bag of pistachios and it really helps. And, just a sidenote... and this is weird, but.... I was looking at a catalog of specialty items for senior citizens (for my mother! I may almost be…
-
Great list - thank you for sharing. I think I'm really doing well with most (but wonderful to be reminded) except maybe #8...
-
My longer term goal is... be able to wear the clothes I wore last summer THIS summer LOL To do that, I'll need to maintain a very steady loss of 8 pounds a month so that will start with February. So basically,* log food and be within plan * walk average 8-10 miles every weekday (weekends are up for grabs depending on…
-
howdy. remember me? :blush: I'm going to add in my August goal here... now don't laugh! My goal is going to be to really show up. That will (hopefully) include getting back to logging food better, but first I have to just show up - can't get any work done otherwise hello to all the new members - and gosh it's great to see…

I never really signed up for an April challenge, but I'm going to chime in with my own 'accomplishment'. I'm still here and making the effort B) It's been weird for the last week or so - not much physical activity, eating some meals of more 'normal' foods than is typcal for me, but the scale is moving in the right…

Just saw this, and decided to investigate a little. I'll be curious to see what the cost is; I've always wanted an option of an ad free app available for my phone. But the good news is 'MyFitnessPal’s core features will always be presented at no cost to our users. To provide our health and fitness tools for free, we place…

me too! I, too, am (still) a smoker but we don't smoke in the house, so.... if I smoke, I walk - sometimes just pacing on the back patio or circles in the garage/driveway apron, or fast walking my driveway multiple times (it's a long driveway). DH says my Native American name would be 'walks in circles' The Fitbit is my…

I too am a chocoholic, and believe just about everything is better with chocolate (well maybe not peas, but I hate peas.....) I find that I can't keep much chocolate around the house because my willpower is zilch when the cocoa craving calls. My current aids to prevent me from a chocolate deprivation crime spree are:…

I didn't chime into this conversation because I wear mine clipped to the inside of my jean's pocket.... or clipped onto my undies before I get dressed LOL. I've found that the step count is more accurate than wearing it up top. Just my humble opinion

oh, yeah.. i feel your pain. Was such a shock when I saw how many calories and carbs all those 'healthy' options have! Next time, yup... have the cinnamon toast :)

6. Forgiving ourselves & accepting imperfections so we can continue to move forward p.s. maybe we should start a new post with this to get non-challenge folks to participate?

Such great success, Kathy, considering your toe owie! And YOU, Reba- 7.4 pound loss so far this month? WELL DONE!! My week, not as good...... - Faithfully logging - 5 days out of 7, including one day's admission of totally screwing up. - Walking a mixed report. In the last week, I had two personal best days - one over…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
