Step Into the New Year Challenge (CLOSED GROUP)

ecronick

First I'd like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to miracleminded!!

Now that I have most of everyone's information I think it's time to start a new thread.

There are no other rules besides the ones posted. I do suggest drinking at least 64oz of water and staying under your calories but it is not mandatory.

Welcome to all the new comers. We are excited to have you.

I hope all of you are ready to step into the new year with a healthier lifestyle as well as a better weight. I know I am!!

We will post are weights and how many miles we've walked in this thread every Sunday and please no later then Monday morning ASAP.

I wish all of you great success and that this will help get you motivated to move and help you out on your weight loss journey or even just being able to run a 5-10k.

Happy Birthday miracleminded!!

miracleminded1

Good morning and thanks for the birthday wishes!!

I think I posted last night in the other forum that my weight was 169.

I did get out this morning and go walking/running but I'll be doing more at lunch today so I'll wait to post that.

Thank you so much for being in charge of this group! I'm looking forward to this!!

ecronick

Oh of course! I figured if I was going to do it why not have others do it also.

I'll post a link for this new closed group thread at the old thread.

Hey everyone! I got a new pedometer last night. Well, it's not new really. I'm borrowing my friends old weight watchers pedometer. It seems to be reading correctly so I should at least have a better count of my daily walking! Hope everyone has a good day, or as the case may be, birthday! :drinker:

jaimieht

Awesome! I've been wearing my pedometer all day so far and it motivated me to go walk around outside for a while before my daughter's bus got here instead of chilling... lol

Tu/Th/Sat are my c25k training days so the miles will be more those days, but with the pedometer and my normal treadmill cardio I am hoping to stay on track every day

Yay! Excited! Will post tonight

lazyspice

I can't wait to update my ticker tonight - how sad am I?! I just want to see her start moving :blushing:

ecronick

I am soooo glad to see everyone is so motivated and excited for this challenge. That is turn helps keep me motivated and wanting to move my bum. Finishing house work and then my son and I are going to walk to walmart to get me a new pedometer. Mine stopped working yesterday. I even tried changing the battery but got nothing. Oh well...I'll just put the pedometer on as soon as I buy it and then double the amount to make it for the whole trip.

I did a 2mile Walk Away the Pounds DVD right after breakfast and will do the 4mile DVD this afternoon when the baby goes for his nap. No walking outside today its pouring with rain.

jellybean1971

Woo Hoo my little ticker moved 2 down, 418 to go. We can do this ladies

1 hour of spinning in without my pedometer. Just put a new battery in so I will walk away. Happy walking/running everyone.

lazyspice

First up - first to bed!

5.3 miles today - check out the ticker, she's on the move :laugh:

Good night America!

jellybean1971

Just did another 2 mile walk away the pounds dvd

So a total of 4 miles for the fist day, going to have to do better then that tomorrow to meet my weekly goal. Hopefully the rain will blow else where tomorrow.

miracleminded1

I've walked/run 4.5 miles today! Yippie!

irunn2doorz

I installed a pedometer app on my phone. But most likely I will be getting most of my walking in at the gym
Once again, great idea for a challenge.

ecronick

So glad everyones tickers are moving. Keep up the great work!!

Anderia

I ran/walk 5 miles today! I'm so excited. I got mine pedometer this morning. I've set my goal for 12,000 steps a day so I still have 2,000 miles to go!
I weighed myself this morning as well and I was at 168.

Keep up the good work everyone!!

My daily 4 down, last 2 were in the rain Dedication!! :drinker:

jaimieht

5.2 miles today! A better start than I had hoped for. Gotta love the pedometer

Happy walking, ladies!

wildbeal

ok stupid question for the technically challenged blushing icant get a second ticker to work for miles grumble someone tell me how and do it S......L....O.....W...L...Y PLEASE 4 miles completed today

ecronick

you have to go to an outside ticker website to get one. I went to www.lilyslim.com, followed the directions to making one. When the ticker codes come up go down under Forum Signatures and click the PseudoHTML, UBBCode and BB Code one. Then go to your signature on mfp and paste that under your other one. I would use to different tabs or windows.

wildbeal

thanks love i would have neeeeever got it (technically challenged)

ecronick

No problem at all. Helping each other is the other reason we're here for right?

Anderia

I have a question....Are we counting the miles we exercise or are we counting our total miles for the day including when we are just walking around doing day-to-day things???

ecronick

I think most people are going to be using a pedometer. You can do either or as long as it gets done.
