Congrats! I totally walked and hike and swam all the time when i was pregnant - loved it although now my kid seems to be a motion boy! LOL

Totally loved the story of the teapot under the treadmill - so funny.

Okay. So I just took my dog for a 3 mile walk and then when I got back home and turned on the weather channel, I found out that it's only 7 degrees here.

I am new here but can I join in on the walk. What are the rules?

No rules, just keep track of your walking and let us know how you are doing. I have 3 miles today so far but I can see if I want to keep up with all these walkers I need to walk some more tonight. Thanks for the motivation.
Elizabeth it must have been a cold walk. It's about 3 degrees here but it looks like it's cold all over even if Florida.

Hello everyone.... 4 miles down this week for me. I thought this would be easier but it's already showing me how much more attention I need to give to an exercise program. On a brighter note, I started my program on Monday and I'm down 2 lbs....

I'm in.... I need a little motivation. I have now walked 30 minutes each day for one week. I am reading You: Staying Young and Dr. Oz and Rossen say that just walking 30 minutes everyday will change your life considerably... so .... here I go!

Thanks for the challenge.

If we can all average around 20 miles a week we will clear our goal of 130 miles Valentines Day.

Great Job, Keep on walking and walk away those pounds. It's amazing how slow the weight comes off but how fast we can put it on.

You all are doing some great walking and motivating me - thanks so much for that! welcome to the other newbies to this challenge

Zina- My dad and younger brother are at our condo in Fort Myers right now and when I talked to my dad this morning, he says to me "it's only 44 degrees out right now. it's too cold for me." i replied back, "don't complain. it's 7 degrees here." he just laughed at me. i'm hoping i can average about 20 miles a week but walking is the only thing i can do right now. i had surgery dec. 18th and i can't do any strenuous work until the 15th of january. i can't lift over 5 pounds.
