    I cannot get my pedometer watch working but I am walking every day or doing some type of cardio, just not counting steps, so I am going to drop out however I am proud of all of you who are doing this. Great job!

    Been away at a conference and forgot the pedometer, but I tried to walk 4 miles a day. Then came home and got a back spasm, so I didn't walk at all yesterday. Only 4716 today. Need to get back on the program tomorrow!

    Now that I made a renewed commitment, it's been great!
  • Thanks for the well wishes. I did get worse and have been laid up for 2 days now. I'm really hoping to feel better tomorrow cuz being sick is now making me exhausted. I had like 400 steps yesterday and I didn't even bother to put on my pedometer today. My hubby needs to go back to work tomorrow so I hope to get back to normal.

    10/19 -- 3943 -- didn't get a walk in today and am calling it a day a little early and vegging out at home.

    It's so nice to see ones who are still joining, and to those hanging in there, keep up the great work!

    I had to walk laps around the downstairs last night in order to make those last 500 steps! No way was I going to get that close and miss!
  • I'm still sick but I'm doing well enough to be back up and walking around so I've got my pedometer on today. Hopefully I can get a decent amount of steps in. I have lost weight this week due to being sick. Looking on the bright side.

    10/20 -- 5146 Need to make my walks a priority again. The weather is turning colder and kinda icky. Bought a used treadmill cheap from Craigslist. Has been in the garage for the past month, and I just set it up tonight. If the weather is too cold tomorrow, I think I'll be using it.

    I had to use my treadmill yesterday. It was just too wet outside in the morning. I have a small TV in front of it which helps keep on the the treadmill.

    I've found that 45 minutes on my treadmill is the magic formula for getting to 10,000 every day.
    A long as I make time to do that, I don't seem to have a problem anymore.

    10/21 -- 5352 -- Did about 20 minutes on the treadmill, after I figured out how to go in "program" mode. It is older than the one I used to have and a little different, but it seems to work just fine.

    I feel great! Was a little sore the first couple of days, but totally manageable. :)
  • Still sick but still losing. This cold or what ever it is has made me lose 3lbs this week. I'm dying to be back to normal.
