Alright CompoundTalk, it's March and spring is (sort of) here! Let's do another monthly step count challenge. Rules are simple: 1. Post your daily average steps for the week every Sunday 2. Be honest — screenshots from your tracker welcome but not required 3. Any steps count — walks, runs, pacing while on a call, whatever 4. Goal is consistency, not competition (but also a bit of competition) I'll keep a running leaderboard. Last month's winner hit a 14,200 daily average. Let's beat that! My Week 1 (March 1-7): 11,847 daily average. Fitbit Charge 6 tracking. Two rainy days kept me indoors but I did laps around my kitchen like a lunatic.

Defending my crown! Week 1 (March 1-7): 13,422 daily average. On Wegovy 1.7mg since October 2024. Walking is literally the only exercise I do but I've lost 61 lbs and my GP says my cardiovascular health has improved dramatically. I walk my dog twice a day (30 mins morning, 45 mins evening) and I walk to work and back (25 mins each way). Steps add up fast when you build them into your routine rather than doing it as a separate "exercise."

Week 1: 9,834 daily average. Apple Watch. Bit lower than I wanted — had a bad nausea day on Wednesday (injection day was Tuesday) and only managed 3,200 steps. But the other 6 days were all 10K+. On Ozempic 0.5mg, just started in January. The step challenge last month is actually what got me moving — before that I was averaging about 4,000 steps/day. This community accountability thing genuinely works.

Week 1: 12,108 daily average! Garmin Venu 3. On tirzepatide 5mg since November. I count every step including chasing my toddler around Tesco. Three school runs a day on foot is my secret weapon — morning drop-off, lunch pickup for the little one, and afternoon pickup. Plus I've started a lunchtime walk with two colleagues who are also on GLP-1. We call it the "Mounjaro Mile" but it's actually more like 2 miles now.

WEEK 1 LEADERBOARD: 1. First place — 13,422 2. Second place — 12,108 3. Third place — 11,847 4. Fourth place — 9,834 Great start everyone! Remember the goal is to beat YOUR OWN average from last month. Anyone going from 4K to nearly 10K is incredible progress. Let's see more people join for Week 2!
