Can you walk for 30 mins each day of November ???

I just had surgery last month and need to start slow. Honestly, I'll most likely stay that way. :)
I'm need to walk 30 mins a day and what to know if any one else is up for the challenge with me this month.. Lets snap a picture of something we see along our 30 min walk each day and posted to this challenge thread by the end of the night.. It will help hold us accountable and give us something different to look at. If your not cell phone savvy then just check in each night with a friend Hello, 30 mins completed.. Who's in with me.. :)

    Hello, I like this idea and will post a picture of my steps along with a picture of anything interesting I see on my walk. I'm trying for a goal to walk every day in November and get my 10K steps in.

    This seems like a very achievable goal, I’m in! I didn’t walk today because it poured down rain all day. I do have a gym membership however it doesn’t have childcare and my husband wasn’t able to watch our 2 year old today. I will just have to walk laps IN my house on these kinds of days instead. I will start tomorrow! Good job everyone that did it today!!

    I did several mini walks that totaled about 25 minutes....I will start with the 30 minute walks tomorrow! Anyone who wants to add me as a friend feel free. I love to give and receive support/motivation!!

    I really want to get into this challenge, I need something to get me going. I am a nurse at the local high school and today I have 4,191 steps, I honestly have not been trying to eat better or walk or anything else. So, I am going to join this challenge. Thanks for the motivation an Fitbit is charged and ready to go.

    Ok, I am in . I am just sitting and doing nothing. I keep telling myself I need to get walking again. It is getting dark but I will do this. Stay tuned for a picture in the dark.

    I’m in! I will start tomorrow. I think posting a pic from every walk would motivate me.

    I'm in! I walked 40 minutes today! I usually walk inside, this was my first time getting outside. I'm going to continue walking outside as much as possible.

    I'm in! I will be starting tomorrow morning! :smiley: I've had a lot of hormonal problems for the past year or so and I've gained about 30lbs of my baby weight from baby #2(3yrs old now) back. I feel horrible. I'm tired all of the time and I eat junk like it's going out of style. Hopefully starting walking will get me back in the swing of things.

    I’d love to walk by water. It’s so calming.

    In the reply box where you are typing to send a message do you see a small picture of a camera or a picture that looks like mountain and sun in the top right corner ?
    Tap on either one of those pictures. Tap in choice a file. It “should” open your cell phone phones. Check your picture and click done. It should start to down load.

    Now I use a iPhone so if the app set up is completely different I’m not sure how to help. I’m so sorry.
