    Great job! See, phones are good for your health - just don't trip or fall during conversation :wink:

    This is a great site someone told me about so you can use your steps to walk somewhere interesting. Earlier this year I walked the Great Wall of China....right now I am dividing my daily steps between a walk in NYC and a walk across the USA

    smiley-happy032.gif Americanbabydoll, I read your profile and see that you have three children. Your treadmill walking really impresses me when I see that you have to juggle family and exercise. Do you have a shorter name that we can call you?

    smiley-happy032.gif Beeky, great walking

    Barbie: I do have 3 children but they are all in school during the day and I have a treadmill at my house, so its really just a matter of getting my butt moving. When I don't manage to walk during school time my husband is really good about helping with the kiddos so I can walk in the evening. I'm lucky that my family is very supportive and they want this for me as much as I want this for myself.

    My name is actually Sharon, friends and family call me Share or some of my friends here just call me "baby doll".




    I'm very happy to be a part of a group like this. It helps keep me going because I don't want to be the "lazy" one. :blush:
