Learning2LoveMe... Thanks a lot for that chart! I can really see how good I was doing in week 1 compared to number 2. I'm especially impressed that you managed to figure out my weekly miles without me hardly posting. Nice work! I appreciate that. I lowered my goal to half what it was though. If I can still reach that, I'll be happy.
smacaulay... I think the problem might be that you are posting the wrong ticker code in the wrong place. See how you have pointy brackets in your signature? Like this: < and > ? Try using the code with the square brackets, that tickerfactory also gives you. The ones like this: [ and ] . It should start with Paste that one in your signature box, and hopefully that will solve it.I went to ticker factory and copied and pasted this, but my ticker didn't show up just the words - what am I doing wrong?
ChubbieTubbie... You totally made me just remember that I have a walk away the pounds DVD!! I need to throw that in the DVD player! Looking forward to that tomorrow. Thanks!I agree with continuing this through November. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get in all 100--but I rented one of those 'walk away the pounds' DVDs from the library so I'll get an extra 5 miles per day in on top of my outdoor activities so I should make it!
ginastnly... I'd say go to a podiatrist and have him/her make sure you don't have any need for insoles. If you do, than that could fix your issue pretty simply. If not, they could recommend a good brand for you (although they might want you to buy directly from them, which could be a lot of money, but the quality is probably worth it.) Other than that, I agree with going to a running shoe specialty store. Ask the people there to help you find a shoe suited to your style of movement: walking, running, basket ball, etc, and they will find you a match! They are also expensive, but SO worth it. I need to buy a new pair of shoes again soon.I have arthritis in my left ankle and some times it gets really stiff causing me problems just walking normal. There really is no rhyme or reason when this flares up, but I am thinking I need a really good shoe with proper support. I have bad arches and need lots of support but cannot seem to find a comfortable walking or running shoe.0 -
Only got in one measly mile today, but I only had like 30 min before Zumba haha, so I barely fit it in. Tomorrow I'll do more.0

Just passed the 1/2 way mark to my new goal of 50 miles walking. I feel good to have done this much, but sad that I had to lower my goal. :ohwell:0

5 more miles today! I had to put on several layers of clothes to ward off the strong, cold wind.0

You should put your code in your signature and it will auto update itself when you log your miles on the ticker website. Makes it so much easier!0 -
I'm downgrading my numbers just a bit to 150...I'm still walking, but doing other exercises to split things up.0

Thanks, Good advice.... I will try real hard to give it away (its a huge weakness of mine,
candy!!!) and I know its the sensible thing to do :sad: It will be such a good feeling when I have parted with it :happy: but for now i'm just looking at it.....
As for the walking!!! I have a dog so have to walk and its amazing how the miles add up especially as the weather has been so nice lately I tend to go a bit further!!! Its not so good in the cold and rain lol.0 -

Our dogs keep me walking, they've gotten so used to going now, they complain when we don't go (seriously just like stare at the door and whimper). :laugh:0 -

Yea this is a great idea.. im new to this site and im now starting to work out. and i think just by increasing by a few miles a week for each person would be a good idea0
-
Got 5 more miles in, in the last couple days! Only 8 miles to go!0
-
Ok I have the spreadsheet mostly updated, I will finish it up and post it tonight or tomorrow.
So far as a group we have logged over 1,000 miles! That is amazing!0 -
Hello Everyone, 5 miles done today but very bad on the food front !!!!0
-
For the last 8 days of the week, I have to step up my miles. I started out strong and I have been so busy that I haven't gotten in many miles. I have been doing a lot of zumba lately though. But I will have to do on average 5 miles a week to make the goal by the end of the month. I WILL DO IT! I WILL NOT CHANGE MY GOAL. I set out to do this and I will push myself hard next week to make it happen!0
-
BARTY! wtg on surpassing your goal and still going! you motivate me.0
-
Ok here's week 3 totals. I will do the next spreadsheet on monday Nov. 1 for the week 4/grand totals of the month. Please don't get rid of your tickers and make sure to keep them updated!
Let me know if you are missing or if your info is incorrect. Thanks!
Congrats to Barty for smashing your goal with a week to go! You are an inspiration! :flowerforyou:
