Hi everyone! I'm Joyce and I'm starting the 10000 steps a day challenge today. As of right this minute I have 8372 steps for today. I'm hoping this challenge will keep me accountable. Let's do it!

Hi, I'm Adrie. I started the challenge on Sunday, but am making it "official" today. I've used Leslie's walking DVDs for a long time (heck, I started w VHS tapes), but have gotten out of the habit (and gotten out of shape!), in the past couple of years. Need to get back on track and I believe this is a good way to start. OK, time to get walking!! Good luck everyone.

Hello - my name is Crystal and I am trying to lose quite a bit of weight. I purchased a Fitbit for myself about a month ago and have it set for a daily goal of 10,000 steps. So would my steps each day count for this or is this meant to be in one session?

JoyLaine

Hello everyone! My goal is to walk DAILY and with the weather warming up in Oregon enough that I won't mind walking in the rain it's doable. Motivation = Meeting my goals of losing weight and getting fitter. This looks like just the place to get going!

Hi. My name is Vicky and I am from N. Carolina.

I have been doing the 10,000 steps for a little while now. But I had foot surgery Wednesday and I am so lost without being able to walk. It will be a few days yet but I am going to check out this challenge.

I only have 3.8 lbs to go to meet my goal.
And I have been walking and working out for about 3 years now. It has become such a habit that I don't like it when I have to miss for any reason (which is rare). One can always find a place to walk.

Looking forward to all the good advice in this group.

tannimo

Hi all walkers. My name is Sandy from West Virginia. I have started the walking challenge but I have rheumatoid arthritis and have been having flare ups of various joints from the activity. So I have to skip days to let my joints recover and the inflammation to leave. But I am hanging in there and hope to be able to continue and then increase my walking time as my body allows.

Hi, I started the challenge when it was first posted in the blogs and was so inspired I have kept working at increasing (or at least maintaining) my steps everyday. I have found that I have more energy during the day and find it hard to sit still at my desk. I've even started planning how to sneak in a short walk during lunch (without getting too sweaty that I run my coworkers out of the building). I haven't felt this good in a long time. smiley:

Hello All -

Great Challenge! Who is using an an activity tracker? We should use our trackers to record steps and post to a leaderboard. If everyone is interested I will set it up.

I'm Addie, I've lost about 20 lbs since January. I'm now getting 10,000 steps a day in. I have a fit bit flex and pair that with clean eating, and fitness pal to get results. On top of steps I try to do at least 3 other cardio workouts a week, plus calisthenics. Can't wait to see some more results!

Hi: My name is Gillian, and I am starting the 30 day walking challenge today. I hope the treadmill counts as I use that on days too wet to go outside. I guess walking is walking.

louiseshoudy

Hi everyone, I have about 30 lbs to loose and have been a bit lazy about my food portions lately... I have to say that I have been using Leslie Sansone Videos for the last year and I am inspired by her. It seems she is in my living room with me !! I have been much more focused on my health lately and she is my go to exercise without a doubt. I have a question though, how can I do her video with other MyFit members? thank you and good luck to all of you

louiseshoudy

hi everyone I'am ready to start this thing.....I really enjoy Leslie's videos....

carolinelcorcoran

Hi, I am Caroline, and I have lost 45 lbs through using MFP and exercise. I have poorly feet (foot surgery pending) so cannot do impact stuff like running. Therefore, I plan to walk more and more over the 30 days.

sasklilly

Hey all im interested in starting this program but I cannot find the information for the day to day or any info at all

crsheilah

I'd like to join, guess I already have, but I'm confused. I don't know where to find the information regarding the challenge. I noticed some people say they have started the intermediate challenge, etc. Where do I find this info? I live in Costa Rica on a mountain with no safe place to walk on a daily basis so I use Leslie Sansomes DVDs for most of my steps. I'm going to be 73 years old later this month so starting out gradually. Usually get between 6500 and 7000 steps per day if I really work at it.
