Welcome @LinearTransformations !! This is a lovely supportive group. I am sure you will like it here.

WorthySloth · 30/09/2026 23:35

Checking in for October! Septembers average was 9474 so I’m hoping to improve on that 😊

Joolly2 · 01/10/2026 11:01

Just worked out my average for September and it was so much better than expected. It seems I only missed the 10,00 mark on 3 occasions, yay! So my average was 10,996. So pleased with that. Just have to beat it this month.
@LinearTransformations hello, welcome to our merry band of steppers. 😀

Hi @LinearTransformations 👋 welcome to the thread!

thanks @10kstepsaday, crikey I can’t believe it’s autumn already 🍁 I saw pumpkins in the supermarket earlier today and all the Halloween sweets, in fact even some Santa choccies 😱

I am at 10706 today - probably won’t get to 11k but very pleased to be off to a good start for the month

DoubleBoubles · 01/10/2026 20:05

Hi, hope it’s ok for me to join

LinearTransformations · 01/10/2026 22:35

Thank you all for the lovely welcome 😁
i managed 10,200 steps today (all on walking pad). I haven’t moved much in the last two months so can definitely feel it tonight 😂
hoping this will encourage me back into good eating habits too..

10kstepsaday · 01/10/2026 23:22

That's awesome @Joolly2 well done!!
I am always hoping the month we are in will be the month I hit 10k every single day 😅 so here's hoping for October!
I always start and finish the month well, it's the middle that goes a bit awry!

@Clearingaspace ooh yay! I loveeee autumn!!
Yes have seen some Christmas stuff out too already 😱

Welcome @DoubleBoubles🤩

Well done @LinearTransformations
That's a great start!!

I am on 10.6 for today 👍🏻

Evening all. Everyone is off to such a good start so I couldnt let the side down - I've clocked up 10,338 today.
In my quest to eat veg, I made cauliflower cheese soup. It was delicious, all those years of not eating veg, what a waste.
Hello @DoubleBoubles and welcome, hope you'll enjoy the thread.
@LinearTransformations you've done really well after a long period of inactivity.
@Clearingaspace nooooo, Christmas choccies already. I don't need more temptations.

Onegramatatime · Yesterday 06:39

Welcome @DoubleBoubles . This is a great group.

Welldone everyone on fantastic steps.

Steps yesterday 8322.

Average steps for September 8812.

I still haven't gotten back to 10K steps yet but i am staying consistent in getting the steps that i can in during work/home etc.
These days by the time it's 9pm, i am running to bed like the clock has chimed for Cinderella else I will fall asleep wherever I stand/sit. I can't even last long enough to get my steps written in here. So exhausted constantly. Going to get my bloods done/thyroid checked. But i suspect it's all due to work & life's pressures which are a bit high atm.

Another lovely meal @Joolly2 .

@Clearingaspace , the sight of pumpkins in October makes me smile.

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend ahead.

WorthySloth · Yesterday 07:01

5362 yesterday. Actually better than I was anticipating tbh 🤣🤣 today and tomorrow will mostly be spent in the car so let’s see.

10kstepsaday · Yesterday 08:15

Well done everyone!!

Cauliflower cheese soup sounds delicious!!

Hope you are doing ok @Onegramatatime😥

Hope the car journeys are ok @WorthySloth

Thanks for the welcome, made a good start today by going for a walk this morning before work, need to motivate myself to go out again after work as well rather than collapsing on the sofa for the night

Wishfulshrinker25 · Yesterday 09:02

Can I please join? My steps have been awful this week but yesterday I managed 11743 - just in time for spotting this group and beginning a new month! 😊

Joolly2 · Yesterday 17:49

@Clearingaspace I've been on the Floradix and high strength vit D for over a week now and I do feel a bit better. It could be a placebo effect but I'll take it. Still napping, but not for so long. I definitely feel brighter. So thank you for the suggestion. Hope you are doing OK.
@Wishfulshrinker25 hello, welcome, hope you enjoy the support this thread gives.

husbandcallsmepickle · Yesterday 21:27

I was exhausted yesterday after a 12hr day at work and missed the link to here, but made it now.
My September daily average was 11431 and I've walked 16977 and 13517 steps on the first 2 days of the month.
Well done for all your totals.

WorthySloth · Yesterday 22:22

10167 today plus I have had cocktails and chips 😁 I am a happy sloth 💕

Joolly2 · Yesterday 22:40

Evening all, finishing today on 10,455.
@WorthySloth get you, cocktails and chips, how decadent! Just joking, loving your zest for life. Might also be a little jealous.
@husbandcallsmepickle great totals.
@Onegramatatime hope you've have a good day.
@10kstepsaday fingers crossed we both get a full house this month. Sending positive vibes.

Clearingaspace · Yesterday 22:41

Ooh @Joolly2 thats great re the vitamins.

14351 today but I would have guessed 16000, as was a slog, however a beautiful sunset at the end

welcome @DoubleBoubles and @Wishfulshrinker25

Wishfulshrinker25 · Yesterday 22:43

Thank you @Joolly2 and @Clearingaspace :)

I'm on 10173 today!

TheMaidofOrleans · Yesterday 22:53

Hello, hope it’s ok if I join. My walking went by the wayside during the hot weather in the summer so need to get back into it.
So no steps yesterday but clocked up 19280 today after a trip to seaside.
Plus off to Australia on the 28 Dec to see my brother and it would be great if I could lose a few pounds too.
I think it is doable

10kstepsaday · Yesterday 23:01

Welcome @Wishfulshrinker25 and @TheMaidofOrleans🤗

Hello @husbandcallsmepickle glad you found us!
That's an awesome average and great start to October!!

There has been some amazing sunsets recently! @Clearingaspace

I am at 10.4K for today. I have WFH all week but been so busy haven't had much time (or made much time!) for the outdoor walks!! Which is a shame.
