Looking for Serious Challengers in The Eastern Time Zone (EST)

[MichieFromPA]

Good Day,
I'm looking for serious challengers living in the EST. I'm part of a great group, however, we're spread out across the world. While I enjoy our Workweek Hustle and other challenges...it would be best if we were all in the same timezone. My daily step goal is 10k, however, I've been averaging 15-20k. This is what I did last week - was part of a Workweek Hustle.

Thanks a bunch! I look forward to stepping with you soon.

Hi - I'm in Massachusetts and also looking for challengers.  I average between 10 and 15K/ day but I'm aiming for at least 18K now for a particular weight loss goal.  New to making friends here so feel free to connect (I'm not entirely sure how one does that to be honest.)

Hi Leslie,
My daily goal is 10k, but I've been averaging bet. 15-20 daily as I was in a Workweek Hustle over the last two weeks. My highest was daily step 40k this past Friday and no I did not win...we had some serious steppers lol!

I will add you and look forward to future stepping challenges...

Hi - thanks for the add!  That's a lot of steps to not win the hustle.  Wow.  😮

I've been doing a workweek hustle recently as well for motivation but I had to drop out because I kept winning even when I held myself back.  😞

That's when I thought to look here for folks to keep me competitive.  Normally I'm happy with 10 - 12K steps but I want to lose some weight so I'm trying to get 18K or more.  Are you up for another workweek hustle?

[MichieFromPA]

Lol! Lots of steps indeed...but when you're not in the same time zone...it works against you, as those who are behind, can see what you've done and put in much more effort....That's the reason why I'm looking for folks in my time zone...
I really was pushed and loved it, as we were all at different levels and brought our steps up...So you'll get no hold back here...lol! 
Getting ready to head-out. I've been only allowing myself 5k on the weekends, as a means of giving my body some rest.

Yeah, I can see how that time zone thing would be a problem.  I should tell you and anyone else in the challenge, I don't do continuous sync since I don't have my phone with me all the time - I sync at night before bed.  If you cream me one day, it just means I'll have to work harder the next.  🙂

Oh yeah, I've also been giving myself a breather on the weekends.  Body's gotta recover at some point.  Look forward to stepping with you.
