    Hi. I'll try this out. I haven't been much of a daily walker though but I'll give it a shot anyway. I don't want to choose a alot of milage because I know I won't reach a bigger number, like most of you posted, so I will just settle with 50M.

    September 1st - 1.97M
    September 2nd - 2.42M
    September 3rd -

    Total so far - 4.39M
    Goal - 50M
    More to go - 45.61

    Sept 2 - 1.13m

    Total so far: 3.79m
    Goal: 50m
    Miles to go: 46.21m

    Lol, yes we are. Maybe we can encourage each other to try to improve on our walking. I didn't do so well with my walking today so will have to up my game to balance it out :#

    Well, now you're a bit ahead of me. Argh! Lol, I barely got to walk today, mainly depressed, stayed in bed. Tomorrow if I feel up to it, supposed to go shopping to several different stores & when I'm done, I will see how many steps & miles I have then, if not that high I might just try walking up & down the street or in place...:P I wanna hit this 50 miles! If more, that'll be great but only settling on 50 for now. Go go go, let's cheer each other on! Can I add you?

    Sorry you were feeling depressed - maybe going out for a little walk may have helped. There's always another day so don't beat yourself up about it. Going shopping will definitely clock up the steps/miles. What I sometimes do if I haven't walked enough, I will walk around the house several times until I hit a reasonable figure :-).

    Of course you can add me - looking forward to be each other's cheerleader!

    In August, I ended up within the range I wanted to end up ... between my 2015 August and my 2016 August. I would have liked to get closer to my 2016 August, but a cold/flu/sinus infection kind of took me out of the game.

    I see September has been a relatively low-exercise month the last two years ... ideally I'd like to improve on that and do slightly more this year. :)

    Sept 1 - 1.4 km walking (15 min)

    Sept 2 - 161.9 km cycling (510 min)

    Sept 3 - 0

    Also Cassie & Serser I wanted too add that MOST OF US have been walking for several years. When I started in 2009 I only walked from my house too the neighbors which is about 1/4 th of a mile. I increased as time went on. At one point (after a couple of years) I was walking 5 miles a day. I have 2 dogs now and usually we only get about 3 miles a day UNLESS I take another walk by myself. When we go camping I walk many times a day and have got in as many as 9-11 miles in one day. Last camping trip though I only managed 6-8 if I remember correctly.

    All that being said I am probably the OLDEST person on the forum. I will turn 65 on October 10th. I wish I had started walking YEARS ago. Health Issues made me start walking. I lost 50 pounds and my cholesterol levels dropped. I have gained a bit of weight back. I am trying really hard too get that off but I seem too have problems dropping my calories low enough...I dont' give up. I just keep taking one day at a time...

    ANYONE that MOVES too try and better their health is NOT A LOSER! I am happy too have all of you here with me. I have been doing these challenges since OCTOBER 2013 . People come and go. I think one month I was by myself for most of the month. IF I ever give up/quit then I know I will fall back into old habits and ruts. SO with GOD'S help I carry on...

    I am four days late but would love to join.

    My goal is 3,000 daily steps for September.
    My goal is also Swim Exercise 1 hr for 3 times weekly.

    It doesn't sound like very much but disabled and recovering so this will be a challenge for me.

    Good luck to all

    Thank you for the encouragement. It gives me hope that the more I start to walk the better I will get. I also have high cholesterol so would be great if walking helped to lower it. Thanks again.
