    Hi Everyone!

    It was mentioned to me that it would be a good idea to start a group on MFP for this Challenge. I think it's a good idea, but I don't know much about the MFP Groups. What do you guys think? I'm going to try to set one up, see what it's all about :)

    I also got my walk in for the day!

    8/1 - 3.75 mi
    8/2- 2.75 mi
    8/3- 3.5 mi
    8/4- 2.25 mi
    8/5- 3.25 mi

    Total- 15.50 Miles.
    Left to go- 34.5 Miles

    How are you guys all doing??

    Hi All! I got my walk in for today as well! I did my 1 mile Walk Away the Pounds with 2 lb hand weights this morning so I have 7 miles in total and 23 more to meet my goal of 30 miles for August. I think it is a great idea for us to have our own group to post and keep track of our progress and challenges as well as to encourage and motivate one another!!!!! Please let me know if you create the group and I will definitely join it! :happy:

    Nice job everyone! I'm an avid runner but still trying to lose a little weight like anyone else. I wanted to let you know about a great app I use called WalkJogRun (For the iPhone). It tracks your mileage with a GPS and also you can see week to week and month to month how many miles you've done. I thought it would be beneficial to you doing this challenge.

    Cheers.

    Well, since I just started here I'm not sure of what I am capable of doing, I will commit to 30 minutes of walking 3 times per week to get me started and find out how far I can go.
