Project: Fall/Winter Challenge!

[Brown-eyedG2]

Who's in? Hi there I'm over 50 🙂 and 😞 overweight .... looking for supportive friends to get healthier! Please message me if you're up for it Have a good day!

[Elendili]

OK.  I haven't done this before.  What is the challenge?  I am hoping to drop 10 pounds before Christmas this year.  I want to do this by increasing my step count to 4500 a day, and doing 20 minutes of yoga four times a week.  I also want to keep following the diet my dietitian put together for me.  Do you join the challenge by stating your goal?  Or is there a specific goal you have to have in mind?

Im interested

[Tala]

I'm up for challenges.  I'm in my mid 40s and would like to lose 25lbs before Christmas.  Feel free to add me.  I work in an office all day and need motivation to stay active after I get home.  I have a goal of running a 5K. 

[mmphilma]

Count me in for this....  I'm trying to do a lot at one time and it's starting to get tough on me.  I recently quit smoking and have a couple more lifestyle changes that need to happen.  This would be some good motivation.  feel free to add me!! 🙂

[Brown-eyedG2]

Yes! Thanks for the vote of confidence! We can do this together at your own pace is best don't ya think? We will start by meeting personal goals then move and motivate!

I'm starting with meeting my step goal of 7,200 each day and water goal of mine.
Add me as a friend and we can challenge each other with activity to start 🙂

[Brown-eyedG2]

Hi your goals sound doable Elendili you'll be fine I'd like to add yoga consistently as part of my goal Have you been doing it all along?

[mmphilma]

I'm going to try to get as many steps as possible in a day- goal per day being 10,000.  I had dental surgery on Friday so I can't eat much right now, but when I can eat again... I'm going to attempt more low carb options.  Also- my biggest goal is to not smoke!!  It's redic. hard to cut that habit. 

[Tala]

@mmphilma Good for you for quitting smoking! Hang in there.  Every day is a step closer to your goal.

Team Project: Fall/Winter...
We are off to a great start! Yesterday was our first friends challenge day and we were smokin' Keep the burn going
Happy Fall

[Brown-eyedG2]

Today is Wednesday. We are half way through our Workweek Hustle and some friends are neck and neck with +29,000 step counts! That's awesome. A Goal Day brought one friend to overachieve +2,600 steps amazing 🙂 and another friend earned her helicopter award! Woo.. Keep up the great work team. Let's see what today will bring us ...healthier and stronger for sure.

I do a version of chair yoga.  I have been doing it off and on for two years.  My problem right now is I'm having severe back pain.  So I can't do it right now.  I go for a MRI tomorrow.  Hopefully they will find I need surgery and that will fix the problem.  Nothing else has worked.  As soon as I am able, I will be walking and doing yoga again.  I am doing it at home this time because the place I took the class shut down last month and good yoga places are hard to find.  Do you know how to record your yoga activity with your fitbit?  I am looking for a way to do it.  I have a Flex and a One.  If that makes a difference.  I'll let you know what they find out!  I love yoga for a healthy body and mind.

Hi @Elendili I'm sorry you're not feeling well right now. I hope you have success with the MRI. My dad has a condition, although elderly, which gives him much back pain too.

To answer your question about yoga recording, I tap exercise (the runner icon), then touch the clock icon, touch "log", search yoga, tap and adjust the time, etc.
I hope this helps. Feel better soon okay.

[SunsetRunner]

Hope you get better soon @Elendili

[Brown-eyedG2]

Nice card @SunsetRunner 🙂

Wow our fri bda in the Project Fall/Winter Challenge are off to a wonderfully exciting start. I'm so impressed ( that's not easy to do) with their 7 day step counts from 30,000 to 82,000 ...great!

Keep up the good work guys.
