    December 1....Day 1 down. My fitbit battery died at 6800 steps, but I did a 2 mile walk at home video. Even if I didn't make 10000 steps, I feel pretty good

    I'm in! My goal is to walk 10,000 steps 5 days a week. I used to but have been non-weight bearing for several months and now have a clunky walking boot that I will be wearing for the rest of my life, but I need to do this! I need to set my Fitbit back up, and get it charged so will start tomorrow.

    I'd like to join this challenge as well. I'm aiming for a minimum of 13,000 steps per day. For today I have my 13,000 steps in and hope to get a few more in before the night is over on my treadmill. Thanks for setting this challenge up.

    I'm in. I'd like to get in a 20-minute walk every day. I'm starting from no intentional walking- I mean just the usual walking throughout the course of my day, but nothing added for fitness/relaxation.

    I had a daily goal of an average of 13,000 steps, which adds up to 403,000 for the month of December, which in hindsight may be a little aggressive. However, rather than change it, I am going to go for it

    I have dusted off my treadmill and have started logging the miles. My goal is to do between 30 and 60 min per walk to start. My one year goal is to complete a half marathon.
