    OHHH I love this idea. I walk everyday. I walk 4-5 miles a day. I'm injured right now but I think I can start on Friday. Will we check in this Friday with a starting weight or a week from this friday with what we've walked and what we've lost? I weigh in on Sundays. I'll post my walks on Friday and my weight lost on Sunday if that's ok. Heck ya all might not even want me in this challange. It is a great idea though. Cindy :heart:

    Of COURSE we want you! The more the merrier! Let's get a "herd" (in a good way, of course) or a "gaggle" of walkers going!

    I think that we'll be posting mostly our times and dates for walking. The weight post is the icing on the cake, so to speak. At least, that's my opinion, anyway! :ohwell:

    Welcome to the Walking Challenge, Cindy Sunshine!

    Cheers, :drinker:

    A herd of us huh....Hey whatever works to get our goals accomplished. Just an FYI if anyone is interested....Target has pedometers for $5.00, easy way to keep track of our steps

    I would like to join in the walk challenge. i can't seem to do well with changing my eating habits...so maybe more exercise is the key for me....I have given up soft drinks and only drink water now.

    I would love to join! I joined the site today so maybe if I start walking and watch what I'm eating I will see success. On a side note...cpafford79 is my baby sister...so we can make this a "friendly" sisterly challange. :bigsmile:

    Spunkymunky I am proud of you for making this challenge-encouragment for beginners. You may look around and see people running 5ks and doing P90x, but even THEY started with one step at a time.

    Before you know it you will be walking miles and miles!!

    WOOT!! :flowerforyou:

    Hi all!:flowerforyou: I was looking for some sort of walking group.....so I'd love to join in!! :smile: I try to get in a 40 min walk everyday, and this would be the perfect way to stay inspired :wink: Walking seems to be the only exercise that I can do faithfully, w/o getting board. I love to get outside & take off...no kids, animals, chores, hubby,etc!LOL

    Ok, so friday is start day, huh!? I will make sure to go on a walk then!hehe :happy:

    Well, my sister has decided that she wants to do weight watchers and has the mindset that she can't do weight watchers and MFP. However, I am trying to convince her to do the diet and use MFP as her "meeting" so she can stay motivated. We'll see if it works! I have also invited my best friend to join MFP, so hopefully that will work also. She's always telling me that she wants to lose weight but can't seem to find the time!

    cpafford79 that's awesome! I'm glad to hear you're trying to help others out. Joining MFP is very life changing and totally worth it. Good luck to your sister and your best friend! :flowerforyou:

    Hello ladies. I will walk 2 miles after work. I bring my clothes to work change in the restoom and meet my sister and mother at the park. Even if they don't come I will walk solo. Now I feel like I have to walk to report back to my new "Sisters in Sweat". Have fun and don't give up!

    Ok, I'm going on my walk in a few hrs! I have a question for anyone who knows.....how do you know how fast you walk? When I log it in, it says 3,4 or 5 miles. I'm not sure what to put.....I walk really fast but don't want to give myself too much credit!lol :wink:
