    Greg here and I too just found this challenge. I will be stepping up my goal in this challenge to 15K. Along with the exercises that go with it. I encourage you all to help me with this goal and push me. I do have some obstacles that I must deal with in obtaining this goal.I am currently walking 10k per day so it's time to challenge myself to increase it.

    Hello. My name is Donna and I NEED this challenge. I will begin this challenge today at the beginners level. I've been stuck at the Day 6 level for some time. I have some physical challenges--lower back and knees--that slow me down. However, I am determined to get to my first goal, which is 10,000 steps daily. So here goes....

    Hi, I'm Char from St. Louis. I'm going to be 70 years old next month. I'm wanting to lose weight and I know that exercise is a big part of that. I've only been walking 5 days a week for 1 hour each day and I don't know if I can do 6 days a week. I'm going to see if I can. I would love to be able to walk 10,000 steps a day. Perhaps with support I can do it.

    Hi, my name is Kim. I started out a couple of years ago at almost 400 lbs. I lost 85 using mostly Leslie Sansone videos. Then got hit with a medical issue and had to stop exercising for a while. I went back up to 300 lbs and went way off track with eating and exercise. I am trying to get back in the habits that were successful for me; but it has been hard. I am starting this challenge to help me get back to where I need to be. I'm going to start off with beginner and go from there.

    Hello, fellow challengers! My name is Kat, and I joined the challenge as a beginner, which I'll start tomorrow. I have completed seven half marathons (run-walk combo), but I've been out of a routine for a while. So I thought I'd start fresh, and lessen the joint impact by starting a walking routine instead of running. I was recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic, so that really brought into focus how much I need to change my fitness and nutrition for life. One of my goals is to lose 20-30 pounds by my 35th birthday on Thanksgiving. I live in Phoenix, Arizona, and teach the fifth-grade at a charter school. Just found out that I'm going to be the grade-level chair this year, so I'm very excited about that. Come spring, I'll also coach the track team for the fourth year. Outside of teaching I love to travel, attend arts and culture events (huge Hamilton fan at the moment), photography, and read. Now that I've practically written a novel, which I tend to do quite often, I will say goodbye for now!

    Hi! I just joined the MFP site yesterday, and this challenge today. Can someone tell me how to go about logging my steps? I walked at around 3 mph for 60 minutes today. Also, I don't have a "gadget" to log my steps, so how do I go about counting them? I don't want to be obsessive about accuracy, but I do want to challenge myself!

    Hi everyone - my name is Tina and I am just joining as a beginner. I have advanced fibromyalgia and hips that regularly drop out of alignment so Im not sure how much I can do but will give it my best shot. My 2 year olds will be joining me as we walk off the weight w the videos. I know losing some of the weight would help me espnw my hips so that is my focus for now.

    Id love to have a couple buddies join me... Thanks!

    Once again I am resolving to get rid of my weight. I know walking will help. I live in Mexico and it is already too hot to walk in the sun - I will have to do in in the mornings

    Hi everyone,

    New to this challenge and looking forward it. I’m looking for motivation to get rid of 30 lbs with time since I can’t run. But walking is a good start. At least I’m moving.

    Question:
    Just not sure are we to be wearing our watches the full month to count the steps or just log in what we do in an event each day?
