New month, new challenge!
Our challenge is to do 10,000 steps in a day. You can do this for any one day or try for the entire month. Jump right in at any time! You can set a lower or higher goal if you wish. Our main goal is to keep activate every day!
It's easy to join - Just post here to begin! You can also jump in anytime during the month, too.
You will need a step counter to keep track of your steps and then post your results daily here.

Quit smoking and recently went through menopause so have packed on some unwanted poundage. Struggled last month. Started strong but didn’t lose weight as I hoped for so got discouraged and kinda gave up. Back at it. Hoping April will be better with my motivation.6 -

Fitbit user / not synced with MFP. I work a desk job M-F & take hourly stairs breaks (3 floors). My goal is average 12,000 steps / day. I'm a walker, not a runner. No race events scheduled in April.
