    Welcome onfleur, Kristen5286, and MissMessy!

    It's never too late to join this group! :flowerforyou:

    The challenge is pretty simple--walk at least 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes a time (of course, if you have a hectic lifestyle, you can break your time up into sections of 10 minutes apiece so that you total 30 minutes for the day). We will report in the weekly totals every Friday morning and, as a bonus, if you'd like to also report any weight loss on Friday mornings, you can--be it in pounds, kilograms, or stones!!

    If you have other personal walking challenges that you'd like to add and share, that's perfectly fine, too!

    We are all happy that you're on board!!! :bigsmile:

    Cheers! :drinker:

    Way to go!!! I'm very proud of you for not eating bad food! I bet that bubble bath felt really good!

    Goodmorning girls! I hope Leslie Sansone's 4 Fast Miles counts for walking cause that's what I did this morning as it was raining outdoors, and actually got a much better workout than just walking my 2 mile trail. I also did 20 minutes of pilates for upper and lower body before hand.

    So so far I'm at:
    Fri - 4 miles over 85 minutes
    Sat - 2 miles over 38 minutes
    Sun - 4 mile (video) 47 minutes

    I just got 10 minutes solution Slim and sculpt pilates with toning bands. Its nice b/c its broken up into 5 10 minute sections, upper body, lower body, pilates for abs, total body pilates and piilates for flexibility. So you can pick and choose what you wanna do. It was only $14.77 at wal-mart too. Here's a link so you can see the picture: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/181-2436269-8342567?asin=B000S1MM84&afid=yahoosspplp_bmvd&lnm=B000S1MM84|10_Minute_Solution:_Slim_and_Sculpt_Pilates_:_DVD&ref=tgt_adv_XSNG1060

    It's great, I really liked it and the bands help you keep your form, which makes it really nice.

    OK - I am jumping on board with you guys. I stopped walking a few months ago and want to get back to it. Walking is the best exercise for me - I don't get bored and it's easy. Many years ago, I lost 50 pounds doing WW and walking 4 miles a day. It was so easy to get my endurance up really fast. So, I'll start walking again this evening.

    I'd love to join too..... But I think I might be a little late on the start date.... If I'm not to late and can still do it could someone let me know exactly what we're supposed to do and all.... If anyone wants to do any texting support for this I'd be more than willing to give you all my cell number..... You just have to let me know who you are so I can put you in my cell.... If it sounds good to anyone let me know and we all can go from there

    Thanks,
    Brooke

    Not sure how far I walked tonight - I think it was 1.5 miles in 30 minutes. I wrenched my knee earlier so it was slow going - but I did do it. Hope it's better tomorrow.
