    hi. I'm in, too. I work a desk job so it's challenging to get in steps. i am aiming for 350,000 for the month. i usually walk 1.6 mi on my lunch break and 3.2 mi on my treadmill after work. i also walk the dog.

    looks like I'm off to a good start.

    5/1 - 15,190
    5/2 - 16,571

    I would love to join if you'll have me! Didn't quite make it the past two days, but I think this challenge will help. Maybe I'll try to make up those missing steps. ;)

    Hey, ANY step total laps couch potatoes many times over! And you can set your personal step goal under the 10K if you are just starting out ... if you find your numbers improving as the month rolls along, by all means see about "making them up" but better to do SOME than over-do and end up doing NONE for a time.

    Whatever suits your current ability.

    most of us are all over the board
    fitbit suggests a min of 10k so you will see that being the standard but like the person above me said.. its more than someone lounging on the couch all day.
